Owls for Christmas???

My second Christmas card features the MFT stamp set, Christmas Owls. The image was stamped using Memento Black ink and colored with Copics and Spica glitter pens. The image was then layered on a piece of real red cardstock. The card base is a left over piece of the now retired wild wasabi cardstock fron Stampin' Up. And the layering a piece of left over DP from an old christmas DP pad. The sentiment was stamped on a piece of Gina K.'s white pure luxury cardstockm cut out and embossed with the spellbinders ribbon tag die and sponged with Wild Wasabi ink before removing it from the die. it was secured to the card using a left over piece of red ribbon. Isn't it cute, so fun!! Susan

My First 2009 Christmas Card

Good afternoon, I have finally scanned the first card I made for Christmas this Year. It was using the sleigh from Gina K's set The magic of Christmas that I got last year. The base is Bravo Burgundy, and the background, image and sentiment are on very vanilla cardstock. The sleigh and it's layer we cut using the curvy rectangles nestablity in my cuttlebug and the large Vanilla base was embossed using the script cuttlebug embossing folder. The gold was added to the sleigh using a gold Spica glitter pen and the ribbon and brad are from Stampin' Up. Thanks For Looking!! Susan

For Samantha

I made this cute little door hanger for a male friend of mine's daughter. I thought it was perfect as he calls her "Princess" all the time. I used my new "Night Night Ellie" from MFT. The printed paper is from Basic Grey's Porcelain paper pad. I adhered a piece of paper from the pad to a chipboard coaster, trimmed it and sanded the edges. Next, I stamped Ellie on a piece of plain white cardstock from GKD and paper pieced her pajamas and slippers. I masked Ellie and used the star stamp from the set and added little stars all around her. I mounted the white cardstock onto another piece of printed paper and the stuck it on the coaster. I lined up the three words on a clear mount and stamped them with memento tuxexo black ink. The moon was stamped directly on the printed paper and cover with a thick layer of yellow stickles. Her hair and skin were colored with copics prior to the paper piecing. I found I had a big empty spot so I added some MFT glitter flowers colored with copics, and added a glitter brad in the centre. I then added four blue swarovski crystals around Ellie, for a little more bling. To finish I punched a hole in each top corner, fed throught some ribbon, from MFT of course :) secured it with a couple of brads. I took it to her father who will give to her when she comes for the weekend. Hope she likes it. Susan

I made this card for "A Year of Bellas Swap" over at SCS. I mailed them to the hostess a few days ago and then found out the swap was on hold due to the mysterious disappearance of the hostess, so I figure it is okay to post it. The bella was colored with copics, and spica glitter pens. The layers were cut using my mega curvy label nestabilities. The ribbon I some I had left over from last year that I had purchased from Micheals. The bottom Hunter green layer was run through my cuttle bug with the traffic jam embossing folder. Two patterned paper pieces were added along with six green bella glitter dots. Once assembled the card front was adhered to a plain white card stock card. Thanks for looking, Susan

Agnes Ketto

I just love these Kettos. This is Agnes, I put some fairy dust a.k.a. stickles on her wings. The DP is from Basic Grey's Porceline paper pad, and the layout is Bella sketch challenge #72. This card was mailed to the second bella on my birthday list this month. Thanks for stopping by my blog Susan
