Cute Card Made Using Timeless Tulips

Hello there!!  Hope you are all doing well and surviving the lock down we are all experiencing in one way or another.  Time to get your craft on is what I say!!  I would like to share a simple card that I made using Stampin Up!'s Timeless Tulips set.  I just love this set.  Tulips are very special to me.  I used Rococo Rose to stamp three tulips on the Very Vanilla base.  Then used Mossy Meadow to stamp the leaves and stems, adding extra stems for the larger tulip heads to sit on.  I stamped three of the large tulip heads on a scrap piece of very vanilla and three leaves as well, and punched them out using the Tulip Builder punch.  I wrapped a piece of jute around the Very Vanilla piece and used some Stampin Dimensionals to attach it to a Mossy Meadow card base.  Enjoy!!

On the first Saturday of every month, a group of fellow Stampin Up demonstrators get together at Pied Piper Pizza on 4th Plain in Vancouver, Washington for a card making buffet. We charge $12 for 5 cards that you get to make. We provide everything you need except for basic tools to walk away with 5 handmade cards that you can call your own. Here are a few cards that I made kits for at this past Saturday class. 

Hello All!!!  It has been way too long since I have posted anything.  A lot has happened over the last few years!!  I had opened my own little craft store called Molly's Craft Shack.  Sadly, it only lasted for about a year, but what a year it was.  I made many new friends and learned a lot during my time there.  The most important lesson being that my family means more to me than owning my own craft store.  
After the store closed, I went back to work for the Evergreen School District where I am a SCIP Para educator.  I love working with my students!!  

When the store was open, I met a wonderful gal named Cherie.  She is a Stampin Up demonstrator and had these wonderful classes once a month at a local Pizza joint.  I started going to the classes and then started participating in the classes with my own kits, and then became a demonstrator myself!!  I love making the card kits and having fun with all the fun products that Stampin Up has to offer!!  The part of the store that I loved the most and missed the most was giving classes and this was a perfect fit!!  

I will be posting things that I make with my Stampin Up products.  If you are ever interested in ordering from me, please feel free to let me know!!  I have almost two years worth of cards that I have been making for classes, so hang in there and let me know what you like and what you don't!!!

A happy little card

I know that it has been a while since I posted, but I swear to spend some more time dedicated to posting the things that I create.

The week before my birthday, we took a trip to Coos Bay, Oregon, to celebrate Thanksgiving with some friends and ride out quads.  While there, I got to visit my favorite scrap store, Memories of Time. I purchased Saturated Canary's "Traveling Colors" stamp.  I got my Copics out and started having fun!!! Here is what I ended up with:

She is stamped on Neenah Solar white paper using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. The card base is from Recollections. She was cut out using a Spellbinder's die. The sentiment comes with this sweet little girl and was stamped with Memento Grape Jelly ink on Georgia Pacific white card stock. I used a Spellbinders die to cut it out and edged it with some gold Smooch paint. I adhered it to the card base with some pop dots. The background was airbrushed on using a free mask that came with Papercraft Essentials magazine, issue 101. I seperated the colors with some Washi tape. Here is a pic of all the Copics used on this card!! 

Thanks for stopping by!!

End of year teacher gifts

I asked a lot of teachers what they liked best as a teacher gift from their students and all of them said they love gift certificates and hand-made items. So, David and I decided to do both for his teachers and his bus driver. I used the <icecrm6> cut on the cards option. It was cut at 7 inches. The gift card fit perfectly inside. The patterned paper is DCWV Grade School stack and Confetti card stock made by Astrobright. I used Studio G's series 1 alphabet set for the words, Color Box ink, and Craft Essentials embossing powder.

Sugar plums dancing...

My favorite artist, Mo Manning, put out  a call for designers for her dream team. Her drawings are so beautiful and are so inspiring to me. This little gal is called "Little Sugar Plum Fairy". She is my submission for the dream team call. It is a dream of mine to design with such a talented group of artists. Wish me luck!!!  I colored this sweet little lady at the last crop we had honoring our friend, Jacque Crowe, who passes away recently from Colon Cancer.  I made my own background on the card with a stencil and the airbrush system with my Copic Markers.  I am liking the effect!!!  It helps it all match up nicely.  I also colored my gems with the copics.  Saves a lot of money when you don't have to buy twenty different colors of things!!!  The ribbon is from my stash, as are the sequins.  The pearls are from Amuse Studios.  I printed the little fairy girl from my printer using HP ink on Neenah paper.

The Seven Dwarves

I decided to do the seven dwarves. I first cut out the dwarves with my Cricut on black paper and then cut out each individual piece in white so that I could color them with my Copic markers.

After I colored the pieces I put them all together and began designing the background with their cottage, flowers and jewels. I airbrushed the flowers and plants and accented with jewels using my Irock tool. I only buy the clear gems and use my Copics to color them the color to match my project.

I had a lot of fun with this project!! I will soon be opening my own etsy shop to sell any items that I post. Any item I post can be ordered and we can discuss payment at the time of ordering.
