PMS blog hop

I'm going to be playing along with the PMS Party and blog hop today. Here's my card using Chelly the clover fairy.
I wanted to make this card with a St Patricks Day theme. Chelly is watercolored and the flowers were colored with copic markers to match the card.
I added stitching detail to the card and love how it turned out.

I also added layers and stitching detail to the inside of the card, as well as a copic colored flower.

Have a fairy nice day:)

Swinging Lily

Here's another of the cards for my upcoming copics class. I used the Enchanted Lily set from Pink Cat Studio.
I added stickles to the wings and flowers and 'rubbed' the sides of the card and glittered them for extra sparkle.
The flower is also colored with copics to match the card.

Have a great day!

Lily and the frog

This is the last of the cards for my copic class using the Enchanted Lily set by Pink Cat Studio.
The flower and the frog were colored twice and then cut out and mounted on the card using pop dots. I added stickles to Lily's wings and diamond glaze to the frogs eyes. The purple cardstock matte is glittered with Stampin Up! dazzling diamonds glitter. The flowers are colored to match.
I also made an envelope out of extra cardstock using my Scor Pal....love that tool!

Have a great day!

Paper Make-up DT submissions

I am applying to be on the Paper Makeup DT and here are the cards I submitted:
Lauren in Love is colored with copics. I did a couple of different layers with her. Her wings are stamped onto vellum and then cut out and covered with micro fine opalescent glitter. They look so pretty!
I mounted the different layers with pop dots for exta dimension. This is one of my most favorite techniques for cards...I think it really brings them to life!
The circles, ovals and scalloped circles were cut out with nestabilities. The scallop ovals and circles were also finished with the microfine glitter around the edges.

My next card uses Chelly with lucky clover.
She is also colored with copics. I used Spica glitter pens to add shimmer to her wings and to the 4 leaf clover. The edge is done using a Martha Stewart edge punch.


The flowers I ussed used to be white. I colored them with the same copics I used on the clover and VOILA! They match perfectly!


I added a layer of Diamond Glaze over the Spica colored clover. It looks awesome together! So sparkly underneath the gloss of the diamond glaze.




I did the last card with one of Paper Makeups awesome quote stamps. As soon as I read this one...I knew I had to get it. It just something I really want my girls to learn!


The ovals are done with nestabilities. The quote is stamped in brilliance ink and embossed. The purple around the edge is done with copics and then blended out with the blender pen.


The brad is a filigree brad from Stampin up! and the butterfly is a Martha stewart punch. I punched the butterfly out of vellum and then colored it purple to match the quote oval. I trimmed the edge with stickles.
Keeping my fingers crossed:)
Have a great day!

Mushroom Lily

I am so in Love with the new Enchanted Lily set that Pink Cat studio just released and Here's one of the first things I came up with....Isn't it adorable? I'm doing this card for a copics class in march and can't wait!
Lily is colored with copics (of course!) I cut out Lily and the top of the mushroom and raised them with pop dots.
I also added glitter, stickles and diamond glaze. The flowers were custom colored to match the rest of the card!

Have a great day!

Lauren in Love was colored with copics and then her wings and cheeks were covered with stickles cuz every fairy needs some sparkle!

Have a great day! I have a bunch more fairy cards to come....I've been having the best time playing with these cuties!

Lily the Fairy

The Pink Cat studio blog had a contest this week using this Lily the Fairy image. Melissa says she's come up with a Lily the Fairy set that will come out next mont. I CAN"T wait!


Here are my entries:

For this card. I printed Lily onto Vellum and then colored her with copics on the reverse side. I cut out a window with one of my nestabilities sets (it's name excapes me at the moment!).

Once the card was put together, I colored the wings with a versamarker and embossed them with SU!s Irridescent ice EP and added a gem in the centre of the wand. I also added stickles to the flowers and held them together with a rhinestone brad.


For the next one, I cut out part of the flowers on the DP and slipped the Lily image in behind.



Lily was colored with copics again and I colored over her wings with a spica glitter pen. It's too bad it doesn't show up in pictures, it looks great IRL! The last step was adding the gems to the centre of the flowers.



For my last card, I colored lily with copics again (big surprise!). I used the Spica glitter pen on all the blue parts.

Here's a close up of Lily:
I think she's so adorable! Can't wait till the set comes out!

Serene Spring

I made this card months ago, but never uploaded it because it wasn't the right season. Now that spring is just around the corner I thought it was just right. Can't wait for this weather to warm up a touch! I stamped and embossed the image 3 times and colored them with copics. Cut each layer out and popped it up paper tolle style. The terra cotta pot is covered with diamond glaze and looks awesome IRL! I still have a tonne of christmas card pics that I didn't get aroud to posting over the christmas holidays, so I try posting most of them in the next couple of weeks as I'm trying to get a few samples done for classes.
Have a great day....
Think Spring!

You can't win if you don't try...

So I tried out for a spot on Pink Cat Studios design team and found out this week that I didn't make the cut. It's funny, I'm more disappointed than I thought I'd be (could also be due to a crappy week and a half before this news:) ). At least I'm proud of myself for trying. So, on to the cards I made for applying...
The images were colored with copics and cut out with nestabilities. A self-adhesive gem was put in each scallop and a row of them on the ribbon. The sentiment label is also from a nestabilities die.
This one looks so cool IRL. I colored the image with copics and then went over it again with Spica glitter pens, so the Kimono is really shimmery, it looks just beautiful! (and I'm not being biased AT ALL!) The dew drops were colored with copics so that they matched the Kimono.

My original plan with this one was to do a tilt card, so that Billy and Lily would move and look like they were actually making snow angels, but their heads moved also and it looked funny, so I changed it. Billy and Lily are colored with copics (big surprise, I know!) Billy's mittens, scarf and the top of his hat were flocked with matching flock. The trim on Lily's outfit was stickled and flocked, and both pairs of boots were covered with diamnod glaze so they look like shiny rain boots. The tag was stamped on acetate with white stazon and then sprinkled with dazzling diamonds glitter for shimmer and sparkle. I cut the tag and the red tag behind it with a scallop circle nestabilities and trimmed it with more glitter! One can never have enough glitter:)

On the edge of the white piece, I put a line of tombo multi glue (I had just gotten it that day and had to try it out) and dumped (technical term) some SU! Dazzling diamonds glitter on top and let it just sit and soak in. I love the look it created.
Wow! I don't know if I have ever been that long winded!
Have a great weekend! I'm hoping ours is quiet and non-eventful!

challenge cards

I spent some of the day today doing the first 2 challenges in the Pink Cat Studio forum over on Paper craft planet. The first challenge was this:
1-2-3 Challenge! You can use any Pink Cat stamps you have, but you must limit yourself to...
1 - ribbon
2 - forms of a background (whether embossed, stamped, designer papers...)
3 - embellishments.
so this is what I came up with:
The 2nd challenge was this:
This is a 3 Part Challenge:
Part 1Project Size:Your Project is to be 6" by 6" Card or 3-D items welcome!
Part 2You are to use 3 of 3 different things example: 3 different ribbons and, 3 different Pat. Papers and 3 different Stamps
The third part was a choice of color scheme and I chose:
Old Olive, Night of Navy, and Ruby Red, and Kraft
So, it's a 6 x 6 card.
The 3 x 3 part is:
3 layers to the image
3 different textures - fun flock, diamond glaze and perfect puff,
the stickles are just a bonus (and maybe a cheat!)
3 different cuttlebug embossing folders on the background


Such a cool challenge! Can't wait to do more!

double viewmaster...a work in progress...

So, I've had this idea in my head for a while. When I first saw the Lily and Billy accessories set from Pink Cat studio, I thought 'How cool would that be if you could make a card where you could change Lily's outfit?'

Then I thought 'It would be even cooler if you could change her outfit AND the sentiment to go with it!'

So, the double viewmaster was made. I'm not totally content with it. I think the card itself should have been a solid color so it didn't compete with Lily and her changing outfits.

However, it does work pretty cool. Lily herself is colored with copics, cut out and glued to the background and her outfits are colored, cut out and glued between 2 pieces of acetate (so that the edges don't catch when you turn the viewmaster to change her outfit). The second viewmaster piece is done on white cardstock and colored with copics.


Don't worry! She's wearing a dress, so she's never completely nude! I'll probably be re-doing this one at somepoint, but I thought I'd share it now anyway! Have a great day!

Certified!

I'm certified and have the certificate to prove it! A bunch of us from the LSS I teach at went to copic certification yesterday. We had a tonne of fun and learned so much! I've been playing with the markers for a while and still learned a bunch of stuff!






Thanks Marriane and your crew!

Pink Cat Studio September Release


It's release day!
Be Warned! This post has a LOT of pictures!

The new Christmas Kitty set from Pink Cat Studio is being released TODAY!
Isn't it adorable? I just love all the images and how versatile it is for cards and projects throughout the year!

I love the angel kitty that I made another card with her. I masked her and then sponged the navy around her. Added flock, diamond glaze and stickles. The little gold starbursts are an additional stamp in the set and are perfect for this little angel!

As soon as I saw this set I thought the tree would be so cute flocked in green so that's what I did on this little card. The glittery brads are some more of the doodlebug sugared brads. They are just perfect for the ornaments!



The last card here kind of happened but accident! I wanted to try a never-ending card that I saw on Dawn's blog and happened to have the Christmas kitty set out, so I used it and just LOVED how it turned out so much I decided to use it for one of my classes in september! All 3 of my girls can't stop playing with it!












Hope you enjoyed all the cards! I had so much fun being a guest DT member! Thanks so much Melissa for this opportunity!

Pink Cat sept release day 1!

To say I was excited when Melissa asked me to be one of Septembers guest designers for Pink Cat Studio is a TOTAL understatement! I was over the moon! I absolutely love their images and the Christmas Kitty set is no exception! So here is 2 of the images in the new set....


The Christmas angel is so cute! She is lightly colored with copic markers and then her body was flocked with white fun flock. Her wings were stickled and then fun flocked so they sparkle underneath. Her Halo, dress and horn were colored with spica glitter pens and then the horn, halo and collar got a coat of diamond glaze. The ovals are cut with nestabilities and the shadow was then sponged. The daisies are one of the new cuttlebug border embossing folders with sugar brads (doodlebug I think!). I added more stickles to the outside of the oval and the daisies for extra sparkle!
I used the kitty with the gift twice to show how versatile she is! The first one is an everyday card and the second a christmas card. Both are colored with copics again and the grey cat is flocked. The gift is paper pieced to coordinate with the paper on the card.

The santa hat is one of the stamps in the set and is really what turns the christmas card into a christmas card! The holly was hand cut and the berries are just sticky gems that I had in my stash!
