I found alittle time to do a few more cards myself.  Don't get to play very often.  On the first card I used sparkly fluff to colour the flowers, after colouring the stamp with a brayer and stamping it on glossy cardstock.  A Martha Stewart punch was used for the border.  With the second card, I stamped 14 flowers on vellum with Versamark and embossed them with pastel embossing powder.  After cutting them out, I arranged them on the card, layered and glued them  and used yellow fun flock in the middle.  The corners were punched with a corner adorner and a peel off Happy Birhtday was applied in the middle.

 

Stampers Anonymous has arrived and the following are some of the cards we have done with their stamps. 

 

 

These are a few cards Sue has done with the foils we carry in our store.  So easy to work with using double sided sticky sheets or tape.

 

Sue helped her daughter-in-law put together this card for Cooper's 1st birthday.

 

 

It's not very often I find time to play and make some cards.  I was determined to take an afternoon and make some samples for the store instead of pushing paperwork around.  Brenda decided to take a couple pictures and thinks I should take up this pose alittle more often.  Had fun doing this card using spellbinders, glitter ritz, brayer, smooch, quickie glue pen, cuttlebug and a Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp.  Do you think I used enough products??

 

We have alot of amazing stamps in the store.  Check our the samples below. 

 

The 2 cards below are done with the good old fashioned light box and a brass stencil. The words on both cards were stamped with Just Rite stamps.  Gotta love those alphabet stamps!!!!

 

Left card below is an old Magenta technique.  Stamp the design with frost white colorbox pigment ink on dark cardstock, let dry and then colour over the design with bright colour prisma coloured pencils.  The right card below is a new UK cuttlebug folder and the butterflies were stamped on acetate with Staz on Black ink and on the reverse Dries Clear Art Institute glue was applied and then glitter was put on the glue.  The glue dries clear and then you have almost a stained glass look on the other side.  It's a great, fun and easy technique.  The butterflies were then cut out and the wings were bent and applied to the card.

 

 

 

The cat on the right card was done with shrink plastic.  I forgot how much fun this technique is.

The butterflies on the middle card were coloured directly on the stamp and then stamped on glossy cardstock.

   

 

   

   

This is Brenda's Christmas card to me.  She used Glitter Ritz and fun flock on the leaves.

This is the Christmas card Sue gave me.  It was a stitching stamp from Art Impression and she taught  classes for the holidays on this technique.  Very nice Sue, thanks.

Brenda took a Sunday afternoon and made some tags.  She's really into the Tim Holtz's products.

Sue's so talented.  This card is from a clear stamp set we have in the store.  She used copic markers to colour, pop dots to pop the flowers and leaves.  There's glitter on the flowers as well.  The picture doesn't do the card justice.

The line of Art Impressions stamps have been very popular.  Here are a couple more cards that Brenda put together.  I know she coloured one of them with Smooch.  Can you tell which one it is?

Also Brenda did this wedding card with just a stamp embossed with powder, a cuttlebug folder and a Spellbinders as the layering background.

This card is made with a swirl frame cuttlebug folder.  I used the debossed side and with a quickie glue pen traced inside the debossed lines and applied Ritz Copper Glitter.  I then took a double sticky peel off tree, stuck it to a purple piece of cardstock and peeled off the top layer so I could apply gold leaf flakes. I cut around the tree, applied pop dots to the tree, layered it on a piece of vellum and put it on the cuttlebug panel.

This next card was done with a U.K. cuttlebug Christmas Tree folder.  I used dries clear and the new gold flower soft to create the garland.  I outlined the tree with dries clear and green glitter, put black flock and dries clear on the tree pot.  Then I added gems to the embossed dots on the card. The star has silver glitter and peel off corners completed the card and then I mounted it on metallic silver cardstock.

Cards made with some Christmas stamps still on our shelves and the good news is all our Christmas stamps are 25% discounted.

   

Another card sample.

 

This card was done on vellum, embossing with a stencil and layered on the new Shimmer Sheetz we now have in the store.  Of course, we had to run the sheetz through the cuttlebug machine!!

Sue made this card using double-sided sticky peel off stickers, a Martha Stewart Punch and gold leafing.  The design hanging in the second picture below was done with a sticky ornament shape, gold leafing again, a spellbinder and white tulle.  Come on in and we'll show you this glitzy product.

 

Many of you aren't going to believe this but I made this card!!  It took me 3 days to get it done but I did it.  Who says I don't get to play.  Would love to tell you how I did it.  Come in and let me explain it to you and I'll give you a free vial of glitter!!!  Now let's see who reads my website.

 

Sue used her copics to make this card for a friend of the family who recently had a baby.  Sue does love her copics and will gladly help any customer who has questions as she is the expert at our store.

These cards are so elegant and Sue said they were so simple to do as well.  The first card was stamped with a Impression Obsession Mega Mount and Versamark then embossed with Pastel Powder.  Distress inks completed the look with some colour and a small strip of white cardstock and a spellbinder completed the circle.  A bit more stamping, add the bling and Viola!  The next 2 cards were done with gold mirrored cardstock, a cuttlebug folder, red cardstock and a couple stamps.  Easy but elegant cards!!

Brenda used her Copic Markers to colour the following card.  Don't you think she is getting quite proficient with her markers?

Brenda is moving back to Port Colborne so she just couldn't wait to get a scrapbook page ready for the big day.

Keith's nephew Michael, is getting married in February and I offered to make Jillian's thank you cards.  The following is a sample of the cards.  Done with a Cuttlebug folder and diecut, quickie glue pen and glitter.  Her colour is navy blue, that's the colour of the card and  really hard to see from the picture.

Sue used some new Christmas tree peeloff stickers, quickie glue pen and glitter to make this sparkly Christmas card.  Nice work Sue, as usual.

This card was done with the new Shimmer Sheetz put out by Elizabeth Craft Designs.  The sheet was put through the cuttlebug and the rose is made with peel off stickers. We are having alot of fun with these sheets.  The glare from the flash doesn't do this card justice.

Sue found some time to make a few more cards.

This card is done with glitter paper and  Martha Stewart punches.  I have to say her punches are simply amazing and the best made I've ever seen.  We do carry Martha's punches and if we don't have it in stock we can of course order whatever you're looking for.

 

This card was made with Ecstasy Craft creatable diecuts, a swiss dots cuttlebug folder and Ecstasy's Multi frames.  We carry all these supplies in our store.

This card was made with a 3D design (left side), and the small pink poinsettia flowers were done with Ecstasy Crafts new punches and metal paper.  These metal papers come in 18 different colours and are amazing to work with.

 

The Magnolia stamp line continues to be popular and is it any wonder when you can produce cards like this.  This is Sue's amazing work with her Copic Markers.
