Valentine's Kitty

Hi everyone!! We are bracing for the winter storm here in Georgia. I'm really not expecting that we will get anything at all, but we will see. North Carolina and Tennessee are getting it! I wish we would get it here! I want snow!! I went into work this morning and got some stuff done that I needed to be there to do. Then I headed home with the rest of my work. I didn't want to get in the mess of the Atlanta panic once it hits. And the kids get out two hours early, so that won't help the traffic. Now I am home, nice and warm. I have all my work to get to, but I wanted to have a bit of lunch first before I got started again.  So, here I sit eating and blogging.

I wanted to share my second Valentine's card that is in that set of five that I have made. Here it is:







This little 3 x 3 is the second in my set of five Valentine's cards that I put on Etsy. This one is using Love You Kitten from Gerda Steiner. I thought this little kitten was perfect for a Valentine's card. I decided to make him a calico :)  I colored him with my Copic markers. I've done a bit of layering on him. I've added some clear Wink of Stella on his little red heart that he is holding. I used card stock and a bit of patterned paper for this card. The two circles are die cuts and I've also added some stitching and pearls. The little heart is from Drawn With Character. it was a set of hearts and I have used those hearts on several different cards. For the sentiment I've used my Silhouette Cameo to cut it out and then I used that as a stencil. I used black ink and added a little bit of white opaque marker to fill in the holey spots in the letters. I cut a couple more die cuts for the inside and that was it. Oh! I used a bit of Chalk Marker, red, to color in some of the small hearts around the black circle under the kitten.

Copic Markers Used:
  • Black: C3, C5, C7, C9
  • Orange: YR12, YR15, YR14
  • Paw Pads and Ears: R20, R22
  • Heart: R20, R22, R24, R29, R59

Santa Peace

Good evening! My daughter went home today. I couldn't get her in to see the doctor and she wasn't coughing today. I've told her that if it continues when she returns then we are going. So, she headed home. And I've spent the day crafting and working on the Open-Minded website.

You will find this little guy at Etsy:  https://www.etsy.com/shop/SentimentalsSusan

I wanted to share another Christmas card I finished.








For this card I have used Santa Peace from Gerda Steiner. I have used my Copic markers to color this adorable Santa. I've done a bit of layering. For the white on the clothes I've used my Snow Marker. All of the papers are scraps. And I've used a couple of stamps for the sentiments on the inside and outside. I kept this card pretty simple. I've used Silver and Gold Wink of Stella on the belt buckle and the letters on the signs.

Copic Markers Used:
  • Red Suit: R22, R24, R29
  • Black Belt, Gloves, Boots: C5, C7, C9
  • Face: E000, E00, E21, E11, R20
  • Green Signs: G12, G14, G19, G29

Hot Cuppa Bear*

Good morning everyone... Happy Tuesday!! Time to head off to work. At least it is not raining today! I will be cold, but not wet! :D  I was able to get a lot done yesterday at work... I'm hoping for another good day. I have no complaints about the cold weather.. I love the cold! I love it way better than the hot. So, that is it for me today.. work.. come home and hopefully craft. Bailey is staying after to get some help from her math teacher to catch up on what she missed. Michael works today too. It will be just another day :)  But always a beautiful day! Every day is a beautiful day!!  And I hope you all have a wonderful day today!!

Here is my wintery card:








For this winter card I have used Mug Bear from Gerda Steiner Designs. This is the Image of the month. I've colored him up with my Faber-Castell Polychromos. I did a small amount of layering with his nose, hands and feet. The background I created using Distress Inks and water. I splattered some white paint on it as well to give it some snow. Then I've added some texture at the bottom to make it look like snow or frost along the edge. The patterned papers are all scraps. I've inked the edges of all the papers. I've cut around the image with a My Favorite Thing die cut.  Then I've added the snow flake swirl cut from a Memory Box die. I've added some glitter that. I've also added the same to the inside. I've also added to the inside and out, the snowflakes which were cut from a sizzlit die. I've also added glitter to these. On the outside I've added some blew mini dew drops to the inside of the snowflake. I've also added some ribbon. There are some gems on the side as well. The inside has the snow flake die cuts all covered with glitter and some gems and mini dew drops as well. I've added a strip of ribbon to the inside and let it hand below.

A Hedgehog Autumn.

Good afternoon everyone!! I was trying to get this post up this morning, but it just didn't work out. So I'm going to get it up now. I hope you all had a fabulous week! This was the LONGEST week! I thought it would never end! It just kept going on and on and on LOL!!  I'm just glad it is Friday and I'm home. I did get a lot accomplished this week.. so that is something good! It always feels good to have a productive week at work.  And tonight I don't have to go running anyone anywhere! Bailey is riding the bus home, Michael doesn't have to work and no one is going anywhere until tomorrow! Tomorrow, Bailey is going to hang out with her boyfriend all day for the cul-de-sac Halloween get together. That will last from the afternoon into the evening! And Michael works tomorrow. I really don't plan to do much of anything but craft! It should be a good, relaxing weekend :D

Here is my creation for today.. another Autumn card:








For this one I have used Hedgehog Pumpkin from Gerda Steiner. I think he is just ADORABLE!!! I colored him with my Copic Markers. I've done a bit of layering as well. I used a Spellbinders die to cut around him, which I inked with black. Then added another Spellbinders cut behind it in black. The pumpkins and Autumn were cut using the Silhouette Cameo. I've added some twine and dew drops. On the inside I used a Memory Box corner die and added some of those dew drops. The pumpkins have some orange glitter added to them as well. I've used all scraps with this. I've done pretty well using my scraps so far this season!!

Copic Markers Used:
  • Pumpkin Stem: E33, E35, E37

Puppy and Mouse Priceless Friendship*

Good morning! We have finally made it to Friday! Woot!! I will be on my way to work in a few minutes. Yesterday... I worked... and I worked some more. I did go up and walk, but then I worked some more LOL It felt so good to head home! Kevin rode to work with me yesterday morning too.. and it was so cool outside! We had to pull out the sweatshirts to ride! I had a bit of leftover chinese for dinner. The boys had eaten already without me! Kevin always sits with me though.. he is the best :)  Then I took a trip to Michael's. I'm trying to work out what to give everyone for Christmas. And it's always the same old thing... what do you get for people that can get whatever they want. So... I think I have decided on both my sister and my mother finally. I did some shopping at Michael's and some shopping at the Goodwill store. I think I've found a few items that I can repurpose and make them into some nice gifts. We will see! I will post them as I finish them :) Okay.. time to go :)  Have a great day everyone! And Happy Friday!!

Here is a friendship card for today:







Yep.. I tried another CAS! LOL  The image is Snoozing Puppy from Gerda Steiner Design. The adorable little pup and mouse were colored with Copic Markers. I used some brown and bronze spritz for the background. I added a lined stamp over the top of those... you can barely see it under the pup and mouse. I also added a couple of paw prints stamped. I carried that over to the inside and did some paws there as well. The two papers are from my scrap stash. I stamped the True Friends Are Priceless from Unity Stamps. And that is it. My CAS attempt once again.

Copic Markers Used:
  • Puppy Fur: W1, W3, W5, W7, W9
  • Puppy Nose: C3, C7, C9
  • Mouse Fur: E51, E55, E57, E59
