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.

Till next time...

Some New Cards

This first card was done with stencils, quilling and a die cut.  I used some home made stencils and Misting sprays for the background.  I quilled the grapes and die cut the thank you.

The next card was made with a doily, a heat embossed lace stamp and some paper circles.

I started to make this a couple of years ago and finally got around to finishing it into a card.  I am trying to use what I have started...

 I have entered the 2 cards, above, in the
My Favorite Things Summer School Repetition challenge

Till next time...

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...
