Lawn Fawn Magic Color Slider Die Card

I'm going to post a video and hopefully it works.

I made a card using the Lawn Fawn Magic Color Slider die and it turned out so cute!  

Here are the supplies I used:

Lawn Fawn Magic Slider die
Lawn Fawn Push Here stamp set
Love Cynthia Mermaid Kisses stamp set (color slider colored with copics)
My Favorite Things Mermazing stamp set
craft plastic
Staz On ink
Memento ink
Papertrey ink cardstock
assorted sequins

Have a great week!

Getting Old. It Ain't for Sissies!

Hi All,

I think this image is hilarious.  What a funny birthday card...for the right person and sense of humor!

It's a digital stamp from Squigglefly.com but now, sadly, all their great images are gone.  The website was there one day and then, *poof* gone the next.   "Grandma Gertie in her underpants" is printed on Paper Temptress, Cryogen white cardstock (with a subtle iridescence!) and colored with copics.  I was playing around with the Spellbinders dies and used the deckled edged rectangle to cut around the image but left her hands free so I could pop them up and give it a little 3D action :)

The plaid paper is DCWV and the card and green cardstock is Bazzill.  I had the embellies in my stash --isn't it cute how the match her fluffy pink slippers?

So, can you guess who the recipient was of this funny card?  Would you believe my mom!?   I, of course, sent it along with her "real" Birthday card but because I know she likes to laugh and is the first one to lament the changes that come with being over 29 ;) it was hers the moment I saw the image!  I may or may not have sent it with a matching pair of slippers - ha ha!

I have some really wonderful thrift finds to share so hopefully I'll get those posted soon!

Have a great weekend!

Hello All,

I still love getting in the craft room and when I saw this image from Mo's Digital Pencil, by Mo Manning, I was inspired to use it for my Christmas cards this year.  What an adorable stamp to celebrate the reason for the season!

The image is called, "in the manger."  There is just something in the way that tiny angel is looking at baby Jesus that makes me smile!  Since I was making quite a few of them, I opted to use pre-cut cards and found these at Michael's.  I colored the image with copics and cut it out.  It's mounted on shimmery paper from Recollections (their Christmas paper pack).  The ribbon is from my stash.  It's cut (Nestabilities) and framed with  Bazzill cardstock in Avalanche.  The sentiment was stamped and embossed it in gold glitter.

Do you make your Christmas cards?

Mermaid in a Snow Globe!

Well all, my term on the DT for A Day For Daisies is (sadly!) coming to an end :(   I have one more week left but I really hate goodbyes so I decided to do this now.  I am very grateful to Tammy for taking a chance on me and allowing me to stay on for as long as I have.  It's been such a joy! :)

Ok, so, onto the fun stuff!  A new challenge begins today at A Day For Daisies and it is to use glitter - woohoo!  I love my glitter *giggle* - and since the new release are snow globe images (CA-UTE!), it's the perfect combination!  I used Tammy's "Mermaid in a Snowglobe" image - oh she is such a cutie!  I love how she's pressed up to the glass...and that gave me an idea :)  I wanted my own little ADFD mermaid in a snow globe!  I printed the image on heavy vellum and colored it with prismacolor pencils.  I fussy-cut out the mermaid and mounted it on a thin strip of craft plastic.  I gently rolled up the image and slipped it inside the clear ornament, leaving the craft plastic to stick out the bottom a little; this way, I could move the image around.  Once she was in place (looking out the glass), I hot glued the plastic strip and cut off the excess.  I put some "bubble" beads, beach sand, glitter, and tiny shells as well.  I used an empty ribbon spool to create the snow globe base.  Oh, and I made a matching card to create a little gift set :)

Happy Crafting! <3 Lisa

Leaping For Joy!

That's me today - I finally started my own blog! I am commemorating this momentous occasion by sharing a tent card I made featuring a digital stamp by Maurie J. Manning from Mo's Digital Pencil Too. Mo Manning is a children's book illustrator and I am in *love* with her images! The image for this card is called "Spring Fairy Puddle" (you can find it here). I combined it with another digital image from Squigglefly.com called "Water Lilly" (you can find it here). I used Bazzill cardstock (bling) and used a mix of Prismacolor pencils (blending done with gamsol), Copic markers and Bic Mark It markers. I 'McGuyvered' (crafted) a "lift" out of craft plastic to pop up the Spring Fairy and make it look like they are leaping over the lily pads!

Thanks for stopping by :)  Lisa
