CAS Watercolour - January 2018 - Birthday

I am beginning the new year by making and posting cards to new and old challenges. This watercolour card for Loll's challenge uses a Penny Black stamp. The flower was stamped with Stazon onto 140# wc paper.  I used a NBUS Kuretake watercolour set. The embossing folder is from Paper Studio called bracket frame.  I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment with Versamark and Ultra Detail gold embossing powder on white vellum.

Twofer Card Challenge #1

Congrats Darnell on your new challenge. I was prepared to use all my NBUS and then you switch gears. As I mentioned to you I am cutting back on card challenges and maintaining my blog BUT I would not pass up the chance to be challenged by you and your creative thinking.

The stamp I selected is Trio of Beauty by Unity Stamp Co. The card on the left was stamped, colored with copics, die cut and mounted onto black craft foam. The piece of SU soft suede was die cut with MFT wonky rectangle. I googled "feathers" and chose the feather colors of a red-tailed hawk. The base card is SU crumb cake. Sentiment I don't know. 

The second card was stamped and heat embossed onto 90# wc paper and colored with Zig. This piece was die cut with a circle die and then SU tempting turquoise was cut with MFT cross stitch circle die. With mounting tape I attached the focus piece onto SU pumpkin pie and a snippet of dsp. The sentiment, part of the stamp set, was stamped and die cut.

Prayers to all those in the Santa Barbara area. Six months ago my husband I took our entire family to SB to celebrate our 50th anniversary at a lovely beach resort. One of the highlights of our trip was our sons surprising us by renting a limo/van. The driver drove us throughout SB, including Montecito and the charming community. Wonderful memories for our family but sadness for the residents.

Darnell's Fall 2017 NBUS Challenge

Okay another NBUS card for Darnell's challenge. This card was going to be used for the CLBH but it was not finished soooooo it is now. I used the cute Newton (cat) which I colored with copics and paper pieced the coffee cup and added the sentiment. I die cut this piece with a cross stitch circle die from MFT, and attached to a snippet of last years's fall paper. I added the yellow leaves (they don't look like leaves) and then added some bling. I used this as a birthday card for a friend whose birthday is 10/1 and she loves cats and coffees.

Supplies:

Stamp - Newton's Nook "Newton Loves Coffee" (NBUS)

  Your Next Stamp "Thanks a Latte' (sentiment)

Die - MFT - Cross Stitch Circle

Copics, snippets of paper, bling

Darnell's NBUS Challenge - Fall 2017

A quirky card for Darnell's challenge. The stamp has been altered and I used a larger pineapple from a second stamp set which I cannot locate. I trimmed the sentiment and removed a smaller pineapple. I used the smooshing technique to make the background paper and when dry it was die cut. The pineapple was attached with mounting tape and then the piece was attached to a piece of dsp.

In my last post I mentioned my growing collection of NBUS so I took a photo. I might add the container could not hold any more pieces so there are some Christmas stamps (I hope I can find them) elsewhere.

Supplies:

Stamp - Funny Bones Riley & Co (RWD-528)

Die - Gina Marie

Ink - Copics, Distress

Paper - Neenah, SU!

Darnell's NBUS Challenge #12

Oh boy another Darnell challenge. I have been trying for over four hours to submit this card and I guess it is my server Cox. This cute little fellow is a chameleon and I looked on Google how to color him. I can say he has some darn colorful cousins. First I embossed the front of the kraft base card and then I used a nbus die cut from MFT, a flip card. It did not come easy to me how to die cut and which way it flipped even looking at YouTube and the help of  my honey. But having said that he is quite cute and he is also nbus. But using  two nbus's for this challenge my pile is only a tad bit smaller.

I spent the summer watching the grandsons a couple days a week and as such did not post any cards. But now that school is back in session I have some free time and first was the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop and now the wonderful and entertaining Darnell, aka Miss Congeniality.

Supplies:

Die - MFT "Die-namics Flip Card" (nbus)

Stamp - Carabelle Studio "Camelon" (nbus)

Embossing Folder - Cuttlebug - ?

Other - Copics, Wink of Stella

Fall 2017 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop - #5

I like this sentiment as I have fond memories with friends over a cup of coffee. Two of my friends and I would get together at the local Starbucks have coffee and do a show and tell of the cards we had made. Sadly I moved three hours away. So this card is dedicated to Pat and Janet, we called ourselves the PB&J Design Team.

The card was stamped onto kraft paper, colored with Copics and a touch of Wink of Stella. I used a die cut combo Sugar Pea's Journal Card and attached the two pieces. The dsp and really rust cs are both from SU!. I distressed the sides of the kraft paper with a little chocolate chip ink.

This is my final card for this current challenge and a huge thank to Amy, her friends and all the sponsors and those who have commented on my cards. Blessings to all who have been impacted by the hurricanes.
