"I'm Blue" is this week's challenge over on Created By Hand. Normally I would have a problem with this... but since I've been in Xmas card mode, a lot of my cards have been made with blues. And I especially loved this one, done with one of the Winter Borders Cuttlebug embossing folder set, and the snowflake folder and of course the quote is from Quietfire Design. Click on card to see details etc. Enjoy

Digi Ink Sketch Nov09
This week we're doing a sketch over at Digi Ink. It lends itself very nicely to various options. The card at the left was my first one. When I looked at it and then at the sketch I realized I goofed a bit. It would have been acceptable I'm sure, but... so I made a second one, the one at the right. This one is true to the sketch. BIG GRIN. And now I have 2 more Xmas cards in my arsenal for this year. And that's a very good thing.
I brayer inked up the snowflake embossing folder with Distress stamp pad ink Blue Jeans, then went over sections of it with Dusty Concord. Ran it through the Cuttlebug and then thermal embossed it with Holographic embossing powder.
The snowflake on generic dark blue cardstock punched out with the Martha Stewart snowflake punch. Sookwang tape put on the back and Ritz micro fine Dark Gold glitter and a touch of Stardust sprinkled on top and burnished. Joy (Quietfire Design "Textured Xmas Words") was stamped on cream cardstock with the blue and clear embo
ssed. Both ovals are cut with the Spellbinders Classic Ovals large, and the one on the cream was colored with the distress inks with a sponging tool.
The snowflake border ribbon was punched out using EK Success snowflake border punch. On one I double punched to create the scallop on the other side, but it was a little bit of work, so decided to just trace the scallop and cut with an x-acto knife. Worked just as well. I put Sookwang tape on the back as wide as the border so there was sticky stuff sticking out on both edges where the scallop dips. Sprinkled with the Stardust then the Dark Gold glitter.
On the second card I added the twisted silk blue/silver cord.
Detail pics of the second card below.

CBH Chalenge for Nov 17th
Another week, another challenge. This week over at Created By Hand we had the challenge to use Beads and Things. Love that theme. Since I'm in Xmas card mode, thought I'd continue in that vein.

Another wave of Xmas Cards

Well here's another wave of Xmas Cards. I picked up several of the new Xmas themed Cuttlebug embossing folders - they are soooooo nice. These cards use the Holly Ribbon 5 x 7" folder.
I really love the potential behind this folder. It's just so versatile. Hope you like the cards as much as I do. I'm also doing something Becca Feeken does a lot - ribbon and bows to dress up a card. I don't mind using them this time because I'll be hand delivering these, so no problems with mailing.
Quote is by Quietfire Design.
Anyway, click on cards to see the rest of them. Enjoy

Digi Ink Nov 09/09
This week's challenge over at Digi Ink is to use a quote in your artwork.
I just got 3 of Martha Stewart's newest border punches, and really love the garden trellis punch.
I punched along one edge of a piece of black cardstock and then along the other edge, then put a piece of double sided tape down the middle and and blended various Ritz Glitter micro fine glitter into the negative spaces (red, gold, warm highlights). This was my jumping of point. I haven't used some of my other punches in ages, and I have bunches of off cuts, so just assembled a bunch on the card and punched a few etc etc. Added the Quietfire Design rubber stamp quote. This is the result.

1st batch of Xmas Cards
Well I normally make between 60 and 80 Xmas cards each year, and it is time consuming, but such a pleasure to trade with everyone. So I'm always looking and thinking of ways to make it easier on myself without doing one original and then making prints of it. I like receiving real originals, although I have received many that were prints and were gorgeous. So for my first batch, I used Art Emboss sheets on cardstock, run through my Cuttlebug and a label sentiment tied on with a ribbon. Real simple, but I think very elegant. So I have 20 down and only 20+ to go... big grin. I have a stack of Xmas cards from classes and previous years that I've accumulated, so it's time to use those as well. Click on card to see some of the other designs and how I made them. Assembly Line.

Alcohol Ink ATCs

We don't have a theme for this month's ATC swap over at Paper Pastimes, and since I've been playing with my Alcohol Inks lately, I thought I'd expand on them and do some ATCs. Our Guild's Galleria this month is also ATCs with a theme of "Bright Colors", so if any are left from this batch, they'll be traded that night. Might have to make a few more... I just love looking at the vibrant colors, they make me smile. Click on ATC to see the rest and how I made them. Enjoy.

Digi Ink Color recipe Nov/09
Digital Ink has a color recipe challenge this week. Although I like the colors individually, they're not colors I would normally put together.
I had to think a bit to make this work. I guess that's why it's called a challenge?? Big Grin. I'm also using Quietfire Design rubber stamps. Love this "Thanks" set.
Anyway, I'm really happy with the results. I will be giving them as my gift basket donation for our Show and sale. Hopefully I'll get around to making another batch of them, because I really really like them. Sheesh.
Anyway, click on pic to see details and descriptions etc. Enjoy.

Bead Maker
I got a wonderful surprise in my mailbox on Monday. A bead maker, compliments of a friend and Chuck Johnson from C-5 Creations (sorry I don't think he has a web site yet). I know he wants to sell them, so stay tuned. And here it is: http://www.xmission.com/~wa7jos/C-5/PaperBead/
Well I hadn't gotten home till late on Monday night, and needed to get up early the next day for work, so only got to try making one bead, and liked it. So needless to say I was anxious the next day to finish work and get home and make a bunch more. BIG GRIN.
I usually use a Quilling tool and thin oriental papers or hand decorated rice paper etc to make beads, because mine are usually for fine threads, but with the latest challenge we had at gg design using watercolor paper, my quilling tool would not work for this. Yes I can use a bamboo skewer or knitting needle, but the paper, especially thicker papers, have a tendency to slip while you're trying to turn the bead. So this tool was just fabulous for making beads.
I tried it wit
h various papers (see list below) and even though the hole is approximately the same size as a bamboo skewer hole, it will still work for my finer threads. I just insert/glue a small bead inside the holes.
Note some of the beads have a second view of them - the ones on the darker or black background.
Most of the beads are formed with a long thin triangular shape piece of paper except for #2 which uses 2 triangles cut on one piece of paper. Most of my strips were from 6" to 10" long.
1. Arches 140# HP watercolor paper (3/4"w), colored with Pan Pastels, Clear Thermal embossed and a stripe of Liquitex Glass Bead Medium.
2. Heavy textured mulberry paper (3/4"w) which I had colored green and then thermal embossed high points with gold. Rolled my bead, then thermal embossed with clear. I love the shape of this bead. Very organic.
3. I started this one with a gold parchment type stationary paper (1"w), then with the heavy paper from #2. Thermal embossed with clear.
4. A burgundy toned Bazzill monochromatic cardstock (1"w), then clear thermal embossed.
5. Canson 90# CP watercolor paper (3/4"w) decorated with black ink and iridescent medium. Clear thermal embossed.
6. 140# CP watercolor paper (1/2"w), decorated with several layers of acrylic paint. Used a Quickie Glue pen to put dots of glue around and dipped into a copper micro glitter jar.
7. Canson 90# CP watercolor paper (1/2"w) decorated with green watercolors. Clear thermal embossed and dipped into clear "sugar beads"
8. Same mulberry paper from above, but done with a slice of thin strip of scrap and just let it roll wherever it wanted, almost like a ball of yarn. Clear thermal embossed.
9. 65# cardstock which was gold embossed and run through a Cuttlebug with the Swiss dots folder. Clear thermal embossed. The smaller one (1/2"w) started with the parchment paper first and continued with the gold cardstock. The larger bead is 3/4"w.
So thanks so much for this great little tool.

BVCG Booklets
This year for our Guild fund raiser we had everyone make booklets to hold greeting cards or CD's or whatever fit into the pockets. It was a 12 page booklet so good for one month per page. I had made one at home without instructions that needed a bit of alteration after making the second one. BIG GRIN. But both worked out fine. The double sided paper we used in our enrichment meeting was thicker than what I used and was more abstract designs than I normally use. But that worked out ok too. Click on pic to see details and inside views etc. They'll be sold for $5.00 each.

CBH Oct 27th Halloween
Well I've made a bunch of things, Halloween related so I could have just used one of those, but it's not in my nature to use a previous image for something current, so even though I had little time, that serendipity thing that happened for the Digi Ink challenge spawned this one. BIG GRIN
And this week's Created By Hand challenge is Halloween. How'd you guess???
This time I did a selective removal of the gold top layer. Used a Lynell Harlow brass stencil of the spider, love that guy... (available from Quietfire Design) on the gold, mounted to a black cardstock which I had run through the Cuttlebug (ps the brass stencil was also run through the Cuttlebug) with the Spider web embossing folder then rubbed over the high points with a silver metallic rub on, then mounted this to an orange cardstock. Wrote in my word with a white Inkssentials pen.

Digi Ink - No card - Challenge Oct/09

Well over at Digi Ink there's a challenge this week to create something that isn't a card. Wish I had more time. So this is the best I could come up with in the few minutes I had today. I have a four day workshop, plus need to make up lost time at work, and the running around I had to do.
I used Amaco Art Emboss Bright Gold extra light wt, extra soft embossing sheets. I adhered one to a piece of cardstock with my glue stick, then ran it through my Cuttlebug using the Queen Anne's Lace embossing folder. The image was recessed so I put some glue in the dots of the focal one and added some Ritz Glitter "warm" micro fine glitter. Just gives that little shimmer to it. Then I rubber stamped the word "Peace" (Quietfire Design Xmas 2008 set) using black Staz-on stamp pad. I wanted to clear emboss it, but the embossing powder stuck to more than the word, so I brushed off the embossing powder and used a Q-tip and some Ranger's blending solution to remove the word. Little did I realize it would remove the gold coloring from my design. But I liked the silver tone underneath, so I continued to remove more of the gold, leaving some gold still on the design. I re-rubber stamped the word and clear embossed with no problems this time. Mounted it to a bright blue cardstock.
I'm glad I made that error, because I've made another ATC, selectively rubbing of the gold color, and I like the results.

CBH Oct 20 Trust

This week's Created By Hand challenge is to use the word "Trust". It's not a word that comes easy to me. I have a very large streak of dubiousness and cynicism in my and the trust I have is in myself rather than others. No idea why.
Anyway, I was also playing with alcohol inks and loving the results and this is one of the artworks created. Both word sentiment and quote are from Quietfire Design.

Lutradur Book & Textural book


I finally made the other book with that half of Textural artwork I did last month. Very happy with the results.
And I also found time to play a bit with the Lutradur I got from Suzanne at Quietfire Design. Lots of fun and I wish I had more time to play with it, but got to get things ready for our show and sale which is in a couple weeks, plus I'm taking a four day workshop with Georgia Deavers this weekend coming, and will have to make up the time at work which I don't have. Sheesh the time just flies by.
Anyway, just click on either book to see detail pics, and descriptions etc. Enjoy

gg design Oct challenge

Well I finally had a chance to play and do gg design's Oct challenge. Ida Abshier has a lovely tutorial on gg's website describing how she does this technique. Lots of fun. You basically use solid type rubber stamps or stamps that have good depth to the image, color with watercolor markers, mist with water and stamp onto watercolor paper. Easy and very effective. Click on either card I made to see detail pics and descriptions etc.

Peerless Watercolors
Peerless watercolors are a really fantastic product. They're concentrated watercolors on a piece of paper fabric. You touch a water brush to the color and you've got instant paint. and the way I carry them around is the best of all worlds. Flat as a piece of cardstock. Smaller than a piece of cardstock. And I have every color, not having to leave any at home because they won't fit into my container or bag. It has the names of the colors as well as a sample of that color on white cardstock. BIG GRIN.

Two more Halloween ATCs

Well I tried something new today. Have you ever stamped on Glitter - I'm talking about Ritz Micro Fine glitter. Well I can tell you it works. BIG GRIN But it even works better when you thermal emboss it after stamping. So I added 2 more ATCs to the bottom of the page of the previous glitter ATCs. Click on pic to go there.
Well I also did an experiment to see if I could stamp on other glitter. And the answer is yes, but it's soooo much nicer on the Micro Fine since that burnishes down to a very smooth as a baby's bottom feel.

Halloween ATCs

Well I was on a roll this weekend and created a bunch of Halloween ATCs for our upcoming trade. I just love all the new Inkadinkado Halloween rubber. I get so boggled when I look at them, I don't know which one to choose first. And then I was having fun with glitter. On the pumpkin page there are a bunch of different variety of ATCs, besides pumpkins. So enjoy... BIG GRIN

"Bathroom" Hanging Booklet

Well I know some people who like to read in the bathroom... And I wanted to make a booklet using my rectangle Nestabilities, so combined two things in one. BIG GRIN
This booklet is a wonderful gift for someone. They're easy to make, if a little time consuming. Just put a decorative hook in a guest bathroom and hang the booklet up, ready for someone to enjoy. Make a few of them and change them by the season, or holiday or your decor. Every page has a Quietfire Design quote plus design elements. I'm really happy with the results.
