Christmas Owl

Today I am showcasing a card I made with a Christmas kit that I received from Sam for our Christmas Crazy group on SCS. Sam sent the Spellbinders Christmas Owl image as the theme for July-August was Woodland Animals!

I colored the cute image with my Copic Sketch Markers. I added some Lawn Fawn Prisma Glitter to the Santa Hat!  The background is a gold embossed image of ornaments that was also sent by Tammy.  I added some of the gold and ivory sparkle bakers twine.   I think this is a cute card!

 

Here is the inside of my card, with some of the pretty patterned paper Sam sent:

I do like this card and hope you and Sam does too.

Christmas Crazy

This is my September-October card for the Christmas CraZy group on SCS.  This is our second year of this fun group.  I am so happy that Pansy took over in 2018 for the group that Jeanette had organized last year.  We each receive a card kit from another person in the group and made a card with the image and papers sent.  

For this round, I was matched with Tammy and received a cute image from Fun Stampers Journey.  She had die cut them, so all I had to do was color it up!  Tammy also included some great patterned paper.  All I had to do was add some ribbon, an embossed piece and a die cut circle, and the card was done!  I hope that Tammy and the others like my card! 

We have one more month of this group and I should be getting my partner for November-December in the next day or so.  I sure hope this group continues into 2019!

Climb Mountains

This is one of the four identical cards I made for four friends who are currently backpacking in Colorado.  My roomie, along with four friends from Wisconsin are joining a good friend who lives in Colorado and a peer of hers and hiking in the Rockies.  I am sure they are having a great time and I am going to also be joining them this coming weekend--not as a hiker but as a driver, picking them up at the trailhead.  This kind of trip is not on my bucket list, but I am happy to hear all of their great stories.  Like--carrying 40+ pound backpacks for 6 miles daily, looking for and purifying water every day for meals and drinking, watching for the storms that have been coming in most afternoons for the past few weeks along with the beautiful sights they are seeing.  I am sure they will see elk and probably moose, but I am hoping no bears!

I inked up a brand new set that I ordered from my friend Dory, from Fun Stampers Journey.  It is called Mountains and also has a matching set of dies.  The set has four mountain images along with two matching sentiments.  I also added a bit of Wink of Stella on the mountain top for a bit of glimmer.  I used an oval die to cut a frame for the mountain and then use a Polka Dot embossing folder for texture of the gray panel.

I hope my hikers liked their cards!
