Christmas Cards

Hi all.  Today, I am showcasing Imagine That Digi Stamps, Tree With Presents.  This image can be purchased from the store, separately, or in a bundle of cute Christmas image.  

I colored the image with colored pencils and glitter gel pens.  I punched the star out of gold glitter paper and glued it on the top of the tree.  The background is dry embossed and the greeting is die cut.

I am also adding some other Christmas Cards that I have made...

I hope you have enjoyed seeing my work.

Don't forget...you still have a few more days to 

enter our Digi of the Month Challenge.  It closes 

on October 28th.

Stamp of the Month and Some More

Hi all.  I can't believe it is October already.  It's time for the Imagine That Digi Stamps Design of the Month Challenge.  This month the image is called Mistletoe Kitty and she/he can be found in the shop, here.  I used alcohol markers to color the image and a die cut for the sentiment.  I added 3 sequins and layered on embossed card stock to finish it off.  

I made the next card for my stamping club for the November meeting.  We are suppose to have the sentiment on the front of the card.  I wanted to make a rainbow card so used watercolor to paint the rainbow focal image, heat embossed the greeting in black over it and added a colorful die cut butterfly.  The background was done in rainbow colors with Ken Oliver's Color Bursts.  I just love playing around with them!

Another thing that I love to play around with are the fairly new Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Bird Crazy stamp set.   They are soooo cute and fun to color!  I have been using watercolors on them.  I just ordered the accessory stamps called Crazy Things that go with the set, so, I will be able to add things like hats, glasses, ties, balloons, bunny ears, and much more.  I can't wait to get them.  meanwhile, enjoy the first 2 that I have made so far...

August Already...?

Hi all.  I can't believe it is already August.  I was in the hospital on July 1, for 5 days.  Since I have been out, I have been a crazy card making machine.  I will not post them all on here, but I will just add a few.  The most important one is the Imagine That Digi Stamps DOTM challenge card.   The theme this month is Beach Girls.  Girls just want to have fun and that is just what I did!  I used the water DP from the Beach Combers Digi Papers and used torn paper that I distressed and used a sand stamp to make the beach.  All of the elements were colored with alcohol markers and fussy cut and either glued or pop dotted onto the base.  The surfboard and umbrella pole were inserted into slits in the paper.

If you would like to play along with us and our Digi of the Month challenge, be sure to check out the site above for information and a chance to win a free set.

Here are a few more that I have been working on during the past few weeks...

D.O.T.M. and a couple of other cards

Hi all.  Today I am showcasing Imagine That Digi Stamps DOTM challenge card.  This set is one of two that are in the store.  The set that I used is called Teacup Pansies.  The other set is called Watering Can Tulips. They are both great for Mother's Day cards.  The can also be used for many other occasions, too.  If you played along with us last month, you may pick which set you would like to receive for free.  They can be found here in the shop.  For my card, I decided to play with my watercolor paints.  I did a wash background and painted the pansies and the teacup.  I added dots on the cup and saucer to give it a bit more interest.  I matted it on DP and added the butterfly ribbon, attached to white CS.  This has to be one of my favorite images and it was so much fun to paint!

I have recently started quilling and this is my very first project.  I just put an order in with an online quilling store and I plan to start doing more sophisticated work, soon.

The next card is a mixed media card that I made for a friend's birthday.  She loves butterflies and is very earth conscious.  The embossed design was done with a paper napkin on white CS.  I stamped and die cut the butterfly and added ribbon and a charm that can be removed and worn.  My friend told me that she might just leave the charm on the card and save it that way.   

Remember, if you played in the challenge last month, you can get your choice of either of the 2 digi sets for free.  You will continue to get a new set for free, every month, as long as you keep playing!  If you didn't play last month, no problem, you can purchase one of the sets and start playing.  They are both on sale in the shop.  I also wanted to mention that Kris has changed the web site and it is really beautiful and easy to get around.  

Until next time...

April D.O.T.M.

Hi all.  Time to showcase the Design of the Month (DOTM) at Imagine That Digis.  The set this month is called My Sailmate.  If you played last month, then you will be able to get this whole set for free.  Also, if you didn't play, not to worry, you can purchase the set here and when you submit a project using one of the images, you will automatically receive the next month's set for free!  As long as you play, you will continue to get your free set.  There are so many images that are included, as well as sentiments, you are sure to find something that you will love to use.

For my card this month, I did a total change from my "normal" cards.  This one is truly a mixed media project.  I printed the image on white card stock and on a print out of one of IT's designer papers so that I could paper piece the mast sail.  I made waves with a quilling technique in blue & white.  The boat was colored with alcohol markers.  I painted the water with Inktense blocks and water and added white gel pen to make the waves in the water.  For the sky, I used what is called a Bokeh method which I did by using a small ink dauber and pounced the different colors of the sky from the darkest, down to the lightest.  After that, I used a soft white ink and pounced again with the dauber.  This technique gives an out of focus look.  I think my card is interesting.  Definitely not my usual stuff!  Hope you enjoy it.

Come and play with us in our DOTM challenge.  

Until next time...
