Sleeping Turtle

This sweet little sleeping turtle is from 2 Cute Ink.  I thought he (she) would be perfect for Valentines (or new baby, birthday...) so I just had to add it to my collection.  See close up below.   The  paper is from K&Company, is a fabulous 12x12 pack with every holiday and season in it.   Hope everyone is having a good week!

This sweet digi is from  Drawn With Character, they have some adorable images. I won a Etsy gift certificate in the coffee blog hop and just recently used it for digi's from Drawn with Character, 2 Cute Ink  and a Random Fan.   I also recently won a gift certificate to Bugaboo. I have them all are printed and waiting to be colored!   I don't normally win things so have been very excited and enjoying this.  Thank you ladies for offering these nice gifts, I truly appreciate your generosity.

My supplies used:  Sizziz Word Labels die cuts, Reece paper from Red Rubber Designs, Copics:E000,11,13,&55,R 20 and 08, and my Wink of Stella.

I showed a close up so you can see the glitter from the Wink of Stella pen.

This photo was such a fun inspiration for the House of Cards January Challenge.  I went with both the inspiration and a bit of glitter.    My main image, Our Daily Bread Lighthouse, Papers (MME,. along with my choice of Copics ( C00, C3,C5,C7,E30,E33,B000,B05,BG10,BG23,Y21) were inspired by the colors and of course I had to add glitter with my Recollections shell brad and also my Wink of Stella brush on the ocean and sand!  I choose a Joy Fold for my card base (see bottom photo for a side view).

Yellow Roses

I had some time to stamp this weekend so I started on my January birthday cards.  This is for a co-worker that likes yellow roses.  I used a Studio 112 stamp, Spellbinders labels 4 die, and colored with Copics.  I designed it with several fun challenges in mind:
Cute Card Thursday #353: Anything Goes
Love's Rubberstamps Challenge: Anything Goes
PDE Linky Party: Anything Goes

Sweet Stampin: Anything Goes

Teddy Bear Christmas

 This sweet image Christmas Bitty Tree Bears is from Meljen's Designs and I knew when I won this digi it would be my husbands Christmas card.  After coloring it with Copics I fussy cut, covered with Versa Mark, covered with Ranger Holographic embossing powdered and embossed, you can see it better on the close-up.  It added just the right amount of sparkle! I used my Cuddlebug dots for the background, and Nesting eyelet square on the K& Company Papers.  Eyelet and ribbons from my stash.  I hope he enjoys his card Christmas morning!

I also want to wish all my blog followers a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year.  Your inspiration through your amazing creations and  your comments on my blog mean so much.  Thank you!

Nativity

 


This is a Christmas card I made for a co-worker for her to send out this year.  I used a Hero Arts stamp, poinsettia dry embossing folder, die cut standard circles and nesting doily circles and wired ribbon from Michaels. I am curious what other people charge for cards?  I went with $2.00.
