Happy Halloween

Hey!

Happy Halloween to you all. Even though we don't celebrate this in my country I always decorate my living room and send Halloween cards to my family since my fathers passing on Halloween 2007. I can't believe it's 11 years.

Here's a stand and slide card I made using a fun image called "Amelia Curiosity" from Heather Valentin. These cards are so simple to make. I made one ages ago and thought it would be nice to let Amelia float on a piece of sturdy plastic from a embossing folder packaging. I added my favourite bats die cuts from a Cuttlebug cut & embos spider and bats set and I added the spider as if it is coming from inside the stand. The cardbase is made from purple cardstock and I used some pieces of scrap Halloween paper.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!

LSS - Sunshine Elf Buttercup and Lil Pine

Sunshine Elf Buttercup and Lil Pine

Hey!

Here's a Christmas card I made using Lacy Sunshine's Elf Buttercup and Lil Pine by Heather Valentin.

I colored the image using Promarkers and added some 3D snow to the pine tree and the christmas ornaments. The card base is white linen cardstock, the background papers are all digital papers from Michele R. Designs and I added typex to all edges. Lol... Gesso takes to long to dry and I didn't want to wait. Typex works great. Dries super fast. The lantern is a die from Marianne Design, the icicle die is from Precious Marieke and the snowflakes are punches from Xcut.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!

LSS - Bookworm Gothie of the Kryptt

Hey!

Here's a Halloween lollipop card I created with one of the gorgeous images by Heather Valentin from Lacy Sunshine.

The image is called "Bookworm Gothie of the Kryptt" and I colored it using Promarkers and fuzzy cut it.
These cards are so easy and fun to make. I took 3 strips of double side designer paper of 12x2 inch and scored on every 1/2 inch. Then I folded it accordion style and adhered the end together to form a circle. Puched the circle down and created the width I wanted and ahered a big circle die cut with hot glue on top so it stayed the size I wanted it. After that you can add all the items you want. I added black netting from garlic bulbs (love to recycle), bat die cuts, gem stones, black doily, glitter swirls, paper straw, black tule ribbon and purple sentiment using a dymo letra embossing tag.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!

Kitty

LSS - Honey Bee Sprite's Teacup

Hey!

Here's a card I made using Lacy Sunshine's image by Heather Valentin called "Honey Bee Sprites Teacup" from the Teacup Bouquet Collection. Isn't she stinkin' cute?

I made a bee hive using a card I got in the mail. Have cut it into 2cm wide strips and cut it to length to make a shape of a bee hive. Rounded the corners using a corner punch and I distressed the edges to give it some depth. I have cut a flower background out of black cardstock and adhered it behind the image. In the tree and in the Sprite's hair I adhered little flowers. I used glitter glue on the fluffy bits of the image.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!

LSS - Rory's Winter Poinsettia

Hey!

Happy Christmas in July ;-) Here's a card I made using this gorgeous Lacy Sunshine image drawn by Heather Valentin called "Rory's Winter Poinsettia" and I colored it using Promarkers.

I made a cross card. As a sentiment I created a border using a big alphabet and adhered it on the back of the card. On top of the inside card I adhered a strip using a doily edge punch. The big Poinsettia is created using a die set (one of my favorite). The dp is white cardstock with velvet poinsettia on top of it. Have this laying around for so many years and found this the right project to use it for. All edges of the dp are distressed and on the green cardstock I used white ink on the edges.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!

LSS - Charlie's Seahorse

Hey!

Here's a new card I made for May's showcase "All About Charlie" on the Lacy Sunshine's Color 'n Craft Club on Facebook.

The image is called "Charlie's Seahorse" and I colored her using Promarkers. I love how the card turned out. Often when seeing an image I get inspired and found this perfect. My favorite LS character was Rory, but Charlie is also one of my faves now. She is so super cute with her short hair. This card is simple to make. I added a mat to the front of the card and added spots with the Promarkers I used for Charlie's Seahorse costume, then I cut a circle in the middle of the card and added a circle frame to it that I created with two sizes circle dies. The little circles are made with a hole punch, distressed the edges to give it some depth. The white netting is from garlic gloves, I had wooden sea figures in my stash and the netting behind the window (mica) and jelly fish are die cuts. The bubbles are made with flatback pearls.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!

April Showers Moppet

Hey!

Here's a Circle easel card I made using one of the Limited Edition images from Lacy Sunshine by Heather Valentin.

I love this image called "April Showers Moppet" and I colored her using Promarkers.

In each flower I adhered a pink flatback pearl. The big brass butterfly came from my stash.

Witchy Sprite's Haunted Forrest

Hey!

Here's a new Halloween project I made using a lovely digital image from the one and only Heather Valentin, artist and owner of Lacy Sunshine Stamps.

The image is called "Witchy Sprite's Hauted Forest" and I colored it using Promarkers. This time I created a purple pumpkin instead of always the traditional orange. The pumpkin is created using the large oval shaped die from Xcut that I cut 3 times and paper pieced it into a pumpkin shape and the stem is cut freehand. I distressed the edges using grey, white and black ink. Instead of adding leaves I used black feathers, added purple lace ribbon, silver floss with a pumpkin charm, underneath the lace is a black spider peaking. Other items used; fence with pumpkins die I did some paper piecing with (1x black, 1x purple and added a piece of yellow scrap cardstock behind the pumpkin faces), bat dies, black gems and I created spots on the big purple  pumpkin using a white gelpen.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!
