Dressy Tilda

Hello, lucky me :-) i have made this card in November 2008 and it works for this weeks Copic Challenge blog :-) what a time saver for me right now. The Challenge is to color transparent things. I did color the glass with C1 but on top of that i have added some paper glaze to give the card the "3d " look. Due to the time of the year the card was made i have picked the sentiment.. but don't you think those papers and layout would be quite nice for a congratulation Wedding or Engagement card? The blue flower was airbrushed to match Tilda's dress.

Stamps: Magnolia Tilda and glass from the New Years Collection 2008 (7kids got a brand new shipment of stamps in)
Papers: I think it was imaginice, Stampin up
Embellishments: Stampin up, paper glaze
Tools: Nestabilities circle and sewing machine

I Love My Cat - Sneek Peek Pet Collection

Hello and good morning.. my card uses the wonderful sketch my friend Jaqueline created for the Friday Sketcher blog. Check it out.. we have so many different sample cards to see what is possible with this sketch. I just mounted my octagon on my 6x6 card base lol. To cut the perfect ankled corners i used my Scor-pal cutting mat and lined my cs on the 45 degree angle (click on link and you will see what i mean) and cut with an exacto knife. That was the easy part but boy the stitched "x" with hemp on my card took long. At one point i regretted that idea lol.

Stamps: Magnolia " Tilda from the Pet Collection" Cat in the inside can be found in a 2007 Collection

Sentiment: computer generated

Papers/CS: Bo Bunny "Pet", Making Memories "Chloes Closet" Stampin up (Kraft, Blue, Vanilla, Chocolate Chip)

Hello happy Memorial Day :-) are you prepared for some good BBQ with friends and family? Well.. my card has nothing to do with meats and sausages lol but what about a yummy dessert? Strawberries and cherries :-) I have found this cute paper a while ago in my store and i had to have it.. oh btw.. i have seen some cute new papers from BoBunny cat and dog themed.. i bought some of this paper as well in anticipation of the Magnolia pet Collection WHEN IS IT COMMING OUT? lol

Since iam planning on listing this card over on Ebay and i bought quite a lot of this Design Paper so i thought i could make a matching envelope (use "the Enveloper) for my card. If you have not seen my picture tutorial on 5. January you could check it out here. It is very easy and fast but it gives your card just a tick more "specialness" lol.. is this a word???

Stamp: Magnolia, Tilda in Cherry Dress (Kitchen Collection 2008), Sentiment: Stampin up "Thanks a tons" retired

CS/DP: Doodlebug Design Paper, Cardstock: Stampin up: Real Red, Pink Passion, Bazzil Bling for base

Tools/Embellishments: Nestabilities "Blossom", Word Window punch, Retro flower punch, Martha Stewart: pearl stickers, Strawberry felt stickers, Prima Marketing, Making Memories, Pink Jute received from Carole (thank you!)

Paper used behind Tilda and to color Tilda on: 89 lb Cover weight CRYOGEN WHITE

Copic Sketch used:hair: E50 (for blending and highlights), Y21, E31clothes: BG01, BG02, BG000 (for blending), R24, R27, R30 (for blending), R81 (also for Airbrushing), R85, YG06,skin:R20, E00, E11, E000 (for blending)

to make handmade envelope: "The Enveloper" i would also recommend to purchase the remoistable glue for your envelopes. In the past i have closed my envelopes with Mono Multi glue. I am very very happy with this glue.. however i find it not good enough for envelope boxes due to the heavy layers and embellishments i use. I have found that Scor tape is just PERFECT. I used it on everything.. on the altered note books i made because this is supposed to be an item that you USE.. i actually tape down the ribbon with it. That stuff sticks!!

okay.. last but not least the card was made using the the challenge over on Stamp with Fun which the very talented Nikki has created for this week a sketch and sponsors the blog! Thank you sweetie.

oh and some of you asked where i found that Cytrogen white CS (89lb!!) i spoke about yesterday... you can find it here.
