Snowy Sliders

Happy Friday!  Wow, I am glad that the weekend is here.  I am finally starting to get some energy back after my surgery a couple of weeks ago and I am thrilled about that. 

Today I have some fun candy bar sliders to share with you.  I always like having a basket of fun little treats like these to give to friends during the holidays.  These would even be  great if you wanted to hide a gift of cash inside.  What a surprise that would be!

For all three of the sliders I used a variety of print papers from the Bo Bunny Snow Day collection and coordinating solids from my stash.  For each of the sliders I wrapped a 6 x 6 piece of cardstock around the candy bar and attached it with Tombow Mono Adhesive Dots.  I did the same thing for any coordinating layers. The buttons were attached on each of the sliders with Tombow Power Tabs that had been cut into quarters. Believe me, these buttons will not fall off!

For this slider, I water colored the image with Tombow Dual Brush pens.The marker colors used were: 098, 249, 933, 969 and the Blender pen. The images are from the Paper Smooches Warm Hearts set. I cut out the trees and snowman and used some Tombow Mono Adhesive Dots to adhere them to the snowflake embossed panel.

For these two, I used images/sentiments from the Paper Smooches Christmas Sampler, Freezy Fellas and Swanky Snowdudes sets.  For both of these sliders I attached the layers together with Tombow Mono Adhesive Dots  and popped each of the image panels up on Tombow Foam Tabs.  For the slider on the left I added some Tombow Mono Aqua to the snow bank and covered it with glitter.  Both of the images were colored with Tombow Dual Brush pens in the following colors:  312, 346, 451, 933, 991, 993, N15, N75, N95 and the Blender pen.

Hello, today I am sharing the card I created for the Outlawz Twisted Thursday Challenge.  This week we were to create a card with "Lots of Layers".  Well, I did a happy dance when I found out we were going to use my favorite style.  

I have used Prismacolor pencils many times over the last 20 years but I had never stamped an image on kraft cardstock and then colored it.  I was inspired by one of my color pencil heros, Dorcas from Dorcas Designs. This gal is a master with colored pencils and she often colors on kraft cardstock and I love how it looks and decided to give it a try with this sweet little mousie image from the Inky Antics Teacup Mousies #2 Clear Set.  I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then I gave the image a base layer of white Prisma and then started adding colors.  I am really happy with how it turned out for my first try. 

Now we would love for you to join in on the challenge with us this week.  You might even win a prize!  Check it out HERE. 

I am also entering this card in the DYSU Challenge Blog as this weeks challenge is Layers, and you all know how I love me some layers!

Grateful for Friends

Happy, happy Sunday!  I hope you are all having a fabulous weekend.  I taught a fun class yesterday that I had called Spring has Sprung.......I am beginning to wonder about that one though.  LOL I really do have the nicest bunch of gals that come to my classes.  They are the best!   Late yesterday afternoon it snowed for a bit. Enough already!  Today is supposed to be sunny with some partial clouds.  Lets just go for the sunny part, okay?  The card I am sharing with you today is for last Friday's color challenge over at StampTV. Did you know that if you play along and upload a card to the gallery at StampTV you would have a chance to win some free stamps?  Good enough reason for me!   I really had fun putting this card together.  Everything just fell into place. 

I used some paper from the Cosmo Cricket Material Girl 6 x6 pad as it was perfect for the colors that Gina had chosen for us to use this week.  Love that!  I used one of my new Nesties dies too!  This die set is called Lattice Rectangles and I know I will use it over and over.  The sentiment is from the GKD Friends set.  I crocheted the flower using my flower pattern from this post.  If you make some flowers from my instructions, leave me a comment, I would love to see them.

One day at a time.....

Hello and happy Wednesday to you all, I hope you have the best of days today!

I am working today, but who can complain when they work in a stamp store?  Not me!  Yesterday the UPS man brought some boxes of goodies  (late in the afternoon) and I managed to get them open and take a peek, but that was about it.  So I will be busy today unpacking, pricing and finding a home for all of the luscious papers, embossing folders and other various embellies and toys that were ordered.

The card I am sharing today was from my Ribbons/Flowers class a few weeks ago.  I love the simplicity of this layout with a bit of complexity in the embellishments.  I knew when I started seeing all of these beautiful Prima flowers out in blogland that I had to have some.

The sentiment that I used on this card is from the Lincoln Quotes Wordsworth set from Rubber Soul.  The crochet ribbon is from May Arts and the punched border and leaves are from Martha Stewart. The beautiful papers used are from SEI.  You can get everything here if you need to fill a void in your stash-a-rooney.  :)

Hugs,
