Do-Al (l) Creative #84 - Winter hello

Friday December 1, 2023

Hello

We have a new month and new challenge over at

Do-Al(l) Creative #84

Our theme is

Bendi fold card

I've never made a bendi fold card so went to You Tube - which is where I seem to spend so much time and I learn. I can't believe how simple this card is to make. I was so worried when I saw the theme but its so easy so I hope you try. I used a scrap of designer paper that was perfect for the background I stamped the Gerda Steiner snow people and the trees are from Sugar peas. I colored with copics. The sentiment is from Simon Says.

Happy little stampers watercolor

Our theme this month is

Anything goes / Embossing

I had a dream about this card... so got up and made it. I was surprised I remembered it after a night of sleeping..  I used Ranger ink and did a soft background. I then used this awesome embossing folder and love the look. I used watercolor paper and Stampin up leaves and Altnew watercolor to give color to the leaves. I let them dry and then used the dies .  I stamped the fox from Sugar pea and using Prima watercolors painted him and die cut out.  I love that he's raking up the leaves. I added the sentiment and some bling.

Get well soon - Louie

Saturday June 26, 2021

Hello

I made this card for my son's dog Louie who is a Yorkie and got bit playing with my grandsons dog which is a Golden retriever.. He got bit in the eye on Fathers day so they ran Louie to the emergency vet. They gave him a pain shot and said no dr. was there to say if he was ok. So my son and DIL decided to take him home (it was already 11pm.) and monitor him all night. My DIL took him to the vet Monday morning and the Dr. there said he needs to see a specialist as there is a lot of swelling. So she ran him over there and they put him on a bunch of meds and he needs to come back when the swelling is down and get an ultrasound. So it's a wait.  He could lose his eye sight in the one eye as there is a lot of bleeding behind the eye. Anyhow I made this card for Louie from our three dogs. Of course my dogs are a Shih Tzu/Llasa,  a Maltese, a Shih Tzu/Maltese  and I just tried to find small dogs that would kinda work and paint sorta the colors they are. I used Shin Han water colors. I used a Sugar Pea, Newton's nook, Simon Says, Paper Pretties, Lawn Fawn stamps.

FATHERS DAY

For my card I dug through my scraps and found for the papers I thought would work for the card in mind.. So then I looked through my dies and found the globe stand.. hum ok getting an idea. I looked through my paper pads and DCWV had a world map so I cut the circle and adhered to the die for globe stand. I used Sugar Pea dies for the Greatest and Dad.. The Worlds is from Tech. Tues. I added all to the card front. The world letters I went over with a C2 copic so they stood out from the die banner. Once it was all together the globe stand was too dark so I took Simon says white embossing ink and a small q-tip and added the ink to the stand.. kinda a white wash stand. Looked a lot better.   My dad has been gone many years and I know in my heart he was with me while I made this card.

Thank you and thank you for following me. 

I was looking at my Father's day cards and I had old ones from few years back and I have only made a few recently so thought I'd dig through some of my scraps.. I found some papers that I thought were masculine enough to create some cards. So I made 4. They are the same just different between papers and landscape/portrait. I am loving the way they came out. The Happy Fathers day is from Sugar Pea designs, the dad letters are from My favorite things, one of the papers is DCWV and other I am not sure. I used twine and Stampin up heart punch.. Pretty simple and I love them.
