New Class

Hey Everyone ..Well My first class at the RED BARN went well and so they wanted another one and there like me , They like things that Move and Pop and shake hahah
so I decided to make this POP UP card .They wanted Christmas Cards so her it is ..It took me awhile to figure out what I wanted to do ..But finally I did and the class is next week so I am cutting it close YIKES!
I use my Kaleidacolor Stamp pad in the blues and stamped the Frosty the Snowman saying ..and of course I had to sing along with it ..And so did my dogs , or were they barking at my sining Hummmmmmmmmmmm ...." Wink WInk"
The I stamped and cut out my snowman and colored him with my copics and use stickles on his cuff and POP him up on pop dots and I stamped the holly on patterned paper and use stickles for the berries and cut out and POPED up on Dots as well ...Used my mathra stwert punch on the bottom paper ...I really love it .



This again is the upclose and personal version ..hahaha

Hope they like it as much as I do

Happy Sunday ..I Today im showing a card I made with a digi image and I love these girls ..I cant remember where I got it , but when I do Ill put it on my blog ..I know i have it somewhere as I want to go back and see when she puts new ones up ..Now I wouldnt give up my Stamps EVER , but i find this fun once in awhile to get and you get it instantly .
I colored her with my copics and the butterfly is from stampin up die cut,I also wanted the shadow effect on it , so I added black butterfly die cut under neath and I just love this paper from Basic grey ..I love to get those little 6x6 pads ..There great for cards
I also use prima flowers from Hobby Lobby and some spacers and a leaf die cut from Stampin up as well .Also some flower soft in the middle of the flowers .Then hummmmmmm I guess thats it ..



Heres the up close version of my card ..

My Possums

So here is a card I put at the Red Barn to sell I love these guys and when I saw this stamp I knew I had to have them as If you read a few months ago and saw I had some Bad Bad Possums underneath our home and BELIEVE me they are not so cute ..
I had fun coloring these ..It didnt come with the base of the tree so I had to make one as I wanted a more finished look ..Hubby didnt like the the paper, BUT I used It anyway hehehe , In person its so much better ..Sorry the pictures are'nt better ..
I used my copics ..and embelleshed with buttons and ribbion ...thats about it..

Secret Sisiter

This is a card I made for my NEW secret DIVA ..YOu send two cards a month to each other and then at the end reviel who you are , too fun..
I used a Sarah Kay image ( which I LOVE LOVE LOVE ) and I did some embossing by hand and Some cutting out by hand on the right hand side of my card ..Some sparkle was added with some small rehinstones ..I love this card so much that I made another one to sell at the Red Barn and plan on doing this more in the future with more of my cards ..I got so inspired by Jerri and her cards ( Which will totally blow your mind ) Over at the " Touch OF Grace " http://jerrikay.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/

Anyway I decided I wanted to use those stenicls on my cards and marry them together ..
