Toasty Mittens and Frosty Friends

>> Wednesday, January 4, 2017

Today, I have another frosty card - can you tell that I am looking forward to some colder weather?

I started this card out by dipping some white card stock into a mixture of blue inks and water and letting it dry. This is one of my favorite ways to do a background and it is super easy. I had a few places that I didn't like so I stamped the Interlocking Snow Background with Versamark and embossed the images with white embossing powder. This gave it a frosty feel which is what I wanted in the first place so I am glad I had some bad spots on the panel.

I added in the new Winter Wonder Words Greeting and two mittens off the new Raised Mittens Skip Winter image to a separate panel. I colored up the mittens using SU! Alcohol markers and sponged around them with some distress ink.

The card needed something else so I added three little Skippy the Penguins (aren't they adorable?). I just got this tiny little stamp and see a bunch of ways that I can use it.

Stay warm and many hugz!

Brrrrr...Baby It's Cold Outside

>> Saturday, December 6, 2014

Hello everyone and happy Saturday to you all!

It looks cold doesn't it? Yes, with icicles and a frozen pond, I think it might be cold! But the kids love it, can't you tell? They are out there having so much fun!!

One of them is about to fall but the others are doing tricks and ice dancing. Before they got on the ice they decided to build a snowman...Cute isn't he?

DRS stamps used: 105H Christmas Village Pond with Bridge, 119D Christmas Village 4 in 1 accessories, 320H Pine Tree Snow Drift, 646D Christmas Blessings, 862H Icicles.

I started with white and stamped my skating pond then masked it and stamped my Pine tree Snow Drift. I stamped the snowman then stamped the ice skaters separately along with the Christmas Blessings. I die cut the Christmas Blessings and threaded sheer aqua ribbon through it. I colored my scene and the little ice skaters with Copic Markers. I masked off my pond and bridge again and splattered the sky with white acrylic paint and a tooth brush. I cut out the ice skaters and glued them to the pond. One is falling down and the other two are hand in hand doing tricks. My frame is a Spellbinder die (as well as the sentiment die). and then I glued the icicles to the top and glittered. The trees and top of the bridge are also glittered.

I love this skating pond!! It is so country!

Thanks for stopping by on a busy Saturday!!

Now go get crafty!

Happy Friday!

I hope your week has gone well! Have you been enjoying all the Christmas in July cards lately? Lots of good ideas! I haven't been ice skating in a loooong time. Right about now, you're thinking...wait a minute...in Texas? I know, I know. But later I lived in Houston and there is an ice skating rink (or was, I don't know anymore) in the Galleria there. It was a pretty big deal when it opened in the winter. It's not like I had my own pair of skates or anything. But it was fun.

This ice skates image is such a pretty one. On winter cards, I always look for ways to use it because I like it so much. And I think with the iced over pond in this new image, they fit perfectly. I added some tops of pine trees in front of it so it would look like you're seeing it through a window. And one of my favorite things...a pink winter sky. A few snowflakes, some sparkly stickles and the fun greeting finish it all. The card is 4.25 x 5.50 and these are the Copics I used.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great weekend!

Supplies:

stamps: Christmas Village Pond, Ice Skates, Snow Background, Let it Snow, Address Label Trees, Pine Tree Snowdrifts

ink: Memento tuxedo black, Ancient Page neptune

Happy Friday!

Is Christmas coming too fast, or what? Usually by now I feel I have a handle on things, but this year...no handle, no way. Probably because my niece's wedding was last weekend..in another state. It was lovely, but I'm sure having to cram now. Feels like the test I didn't study for.

But at least I have a winter time birthday card for my sister in law. Yay! And some Christmas cards to mail. Now if I only had the envelopes finished. My skating card is pretty easy. After stamping and coloring w/ Copics, I did do a little out of the box treatment on the top. The grey heather background was embossed and I used a white Permapaque marker to highlight the raised areas. A couple of cobalt blue layers and a little rhinestone, and my 4.25 x 5.50 card was finished. Wish I could say the same for my Christmas shopping and wrapping and card mailing! Only a handful of Copics were used and here are the colors:

Warm Wishes

>> Sunday, December 30, 2012

Hi all, I hope you had a great Christmas. I had a wonderful time with family and friends. It was a gray foggy day not to cold, but the next day the rain and wind moved in with a few snowflakes winter has come to Georgia.

For my card today I chose a winter theme. I used the DRS designs Medium Filigree Snowflake, Ice Skates, and the Warm Wishes Greeting.

For the background I tried the Twinkling H2O’s tutorial form Splitcoast Stampers. I stamped the Medium Filigree Snowflake in Versa Mark and clear Embossing Powder on white paper using Blue Ice and Periwinkle Twinkling H2O’s. The Ice Skates were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic markers, I used the Lables 18 Spellbinder Die to cut out the image then Blue Ice Twinkling H2O’s were used to color the background with the image still in the die. I traced around the die onto black paper and cut it out with scissors. The Warm Wishes Greeting was stamped with black ink and the background was colored with the Twinkling H2O’s while it was still in the die. The background was layered onto black card then attached to a white card.

Stay warm and have a Happy New Year,

Janett

Skates

Happy Friday!

It may not be snow time quite yet, but I can only hope we'll have an actual winter this year. Last year, we kind of skipped from fall right over to spring before being slapped by that early blast furnace called summer. Hard to believe, but it's actually been much cooler in August than it was in June. What's up with that??

Along with this terrific ice skates and sentiment, I'm also showing you a sneak peek of a fabulous new Argyle border w/ a coordinating solid diamond to fill in the blanks. How cool is that? I stamped the argyle across the bottom and then the diamond, first in lt blue then in pale pink. I used a snowflake embossing folder on the top section then attached my skates w/ a double die cut frame. Argyle is my fave sock so I'm wondering if I can stamp this on my plain socks to dress them up. Life's too short to wear blah socks. Y'all would laugh if you saw some of the ones in my sock drawer. There's seasonal...Christmas, fall, St. Patrick's, Patriotic...really bright neon colors...and some w/ tropical birds and palm trees. I think there's even a pair of zodiac socks along w/ a jillion pair of argyles. I even took up knitting to see if I could knit a pair of argyles. Still checking on it. Turns out it's way more complicated than I thought.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Y'all have a terrific weekend!

Supplies:
stamps: Ice Skates, Visual Let it Snow, Argyle Bg & Solid Diamond (both New!!)
paper: white
ink: Ancient Page coal, Memento sky blue & angel pink
accessories: Tombow markers, Cuttlebug snowflake embossing folder, silver gel pen, Spellbinders labels 8 dies

Merry Christmas on Ice

>> Sunday, December 25, 2011

Merry Christmas, I hope everyone is having a wonderful day with family and friends.

I have a fun little card to share with you to day, these cute little Ice Skates 373h. After stamping and coloring them I used my spellbinder circle to cut it out them I sponged blue around the edge with it still in the die. I layered it on a blue scallop circle. The Snowflake Scroll 875f was stamped and embossed with silver on a navy panel.

　
I hope Santa brought you everything you wished for and everyone is well and happy.

Skating Away

>> Friday, December 23, 2011

by Julie Warner - The Write Stuff

Happy Friday before Christmas!
Are you ready? I always plan to be ready ahead of time. Best laid plans, right! Like this happy little fellow, my best plans are skating away, but at least the happy thought is there!
For my skating scene, everything except the cut out and added penguin was done on the one layer. I started by stamping the tree line then masking the snow and sponging the sky. There's just something about a pink winter sky that I really like so I tend to use this color for winter skies. I flipped the mask to cover the sky and sponged in some snow w/ a lt blue ink. All except the pond. I penciled in where I wanted it and left it white. A little shading was added around the trees w/ markers.

After I determined where my skater would go, I stamped him again on the plastic sheet of my SAMJ (stamp-a-ma-jig), lined up the foot under where his right foot is, masked the edge of the pond, and stamped the reflection using the image on the SAMJ sheet as the stamp. It's really harder to describe than it is to do. It's just a simple reflection technique. After that, I covered the pond using a VersaMark pen and embossed w/ clear powder twice. Then I added a few scribbles w/ a white Permapaque marker and embossed w/ another coat of clear ep. We used to call this super embossing. It really makes it look like an icy pond.

A little closer look at the pond and you can see how glassy it appears. I stamped some pink and blue snowflakes around the edges and added a few die cut flakes. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Y'all have a very Happy Holiday!!

Supplies:
stamps: Interlocking Snow Bg, Snow Background, Tree Line Border, One Line Happy Thoughts greeting, Skating Penguin
paper: white, pink
ink: VersaFine onyx, Memento angel pink & summer sky, Archival library green (for the tree line)
accessories: VersaMark pen, SAMJ, clear embossing powder, Tombow markers, Cuttlebug snowflake die, rhinestones

Warm Penguin Wishes!

Well, I'm not sure about you but I'm about done with the cold Winter temperatures and all of the snow. I say, bring on the warmth and sunshine!

Ok...back to reality...I know we have at least 3-4 more months of this cold icky stuff before there's any improvement in the weather. Perhaps I can offer some warmth with the card I made to share with you today.

This cute and adorable penguin image is DRS Designs new Skating Penguin (569D). I colored him with Copic Makers and I've paired him with one of their new sentiments, the Warm Wishes Greeting (611D). I also used the new Woven Plaid Background stamp (613P) to create the plaid you see in the background. Yes, that's right, I made it, just by stamping the Woven Plaid stamp both horizontally and vertically over a piece of smooth purple cardstock! I love how the plaid looks--it really adds a lot of texture to your work! Make sure to check out the rest of DRS Designs new stamps. They'd be perfect for all of your Winter and Valentine's Day stamping needs!

Thanks for stopping by today,
I hope you all have a great Monday!

Smiles,

Happy Holidays

Todays card is based on a sketch for the Card Patterns Challenge # 94. DRS is giving away a $15 gift certificate. For my card today I have used the ice skates (373H) and I colored the laces, heel and blades with gel pens on shimmery white cs. I added snowflakes and black pearls. Trim is a MS border punch with white pearls added for some bling. Happy Holiday sentiment (515C) is one of the new releases.

Ice Skates & Snowflakes

Happy Friday! The weekend is almost here.

It's been so cold lately, I feel like I need a pair of ice skates. Luckily, I just received this great pair. It's sort of a re-release image and I'm so glad it's back! I see many possibilities with these skates. Not only for the holidays, but wouldn't this make a great December or winter birthday card?

For my card, I went with an icy blue and white color combo and lots of sparkly embossing and fussy cutting. It may be weird, but I really like cutting. I used an indigo pigment ink w/ the sparkly, translucent embossing powder for the skates and December images and a silver pigment w/ the same powder for all the snowflakes and snowflake wreath. The images were colored w/ markers and a water brush. The wreath was die cut and the edges of it as well as the edges of the dk blue background were also embossed for a little extra sparkle. All of the images are popped up just slightly. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.5.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Supplies:
stamps: Ice Skates, Snowflake Wreath, Swirling Snowflakes, December Design
paper: white, brilliant blue
ink: indigo & silver pigment inks
accessories: markers, water brush, stardust embossing powder, VersaMark pen, circle die
