Winter Golf!

Hello,

I needed a birthday card for someone who is a big golfer - I'm sure he even plays golf in the winter.

This card is made with Memory Box paper. I stamped the golfing Monkey on it along with the word "relax". The monkey is colored with Copic markers. I added the ribbon for fun.

I photographed the card on a burgundy stamping mat so that part isn't part of the card - just looks like it in the photo.

It's ALL About the Shoes!

Happy Halloween Ya'll,

For any girl it's all about the shoes! I loved this stamp from Rosies Roadshow and had to have it!

I colored it with Copics and added layers ala Jennifer (the layer genius). I used a Memory Box card as my base and added a funky ribbon.

Hello,

This is a card I made with the new line of stamps called Poppy Stamps - by Memory Box. LOVE 'EM!

I made this one with Memory Box papers, copic markers and a Spica glitter pen. The "friendship" word is from a Dee Grunig set.

Elvis & Water

Hi,

Each month Angela's Happy Stamper has a "theme wall" and I add my own theme of Elvis to it.

August was "water" month and here is what I made.

Surfing Elvis was a perfect match for this month's themes. I added patterned paper bathing trunks and Cuttlebugged the background. I colored Elvis with Copic markers and voila!

Hello,

A friend wanted a birthday card .... with pigs. Fine I say - I can do that - whoops I don't have pig stamps. Hey Heidi, can I borrow some pig stamps? She came through like a trooper.

So I made two different cards to pick from.

This is a Claudia Rose pig and I colored it with Copics and layered it to match the background papers.

The word punch is new from Stampin Up! and I love it.

Puppies ....

Hello,

These stamps are so stinkin' cute! I had a crafty day at a friends and made a bunch of these. They are quick and easy.

A Fish Tale!

Hello,

I've had a couple of great crafting days at Jennifer's house - she has everything and shares! So when I'm there I make a bunch of great cards. We share ideas, new stamp sets giggle and eat.

This card was made with a Cuttlebug background a few layers and a stamp from Inkadinkado (Patterned Pets set). It was colored with Copic Markers.

Of course we got our stamps at Angela's Happy Stamper in Reston, Virginia.

Easy - enjoy! -- Chrisi

Easter Goodies!

Hello, it seems that with my recent travels to South Georgia and the opening home game of the Washington Nationals I neglected to post an Easter card I created.

This card was made with an Impression Obsession set which you can buy at Angela's Happy Stamper. I used the Rosie's Roadshow cloud template (you can also get this at Angela's) to make the sky and Copic markers to color the bunnies and their eggs.

Yellow & Black Swap

Hello,

I recently participated in a swap of yellow and black cards. This is a pix of the one I sent.

The stamps are from Club Stamp and I used a variety of papers. But the coolest thing is that I didn't have polka dot ribbon that was yellow, so I used a black and white ribbon and colored the white dots with a yellow Copic marker. Worked like a charm (thanks for that tip Laura).

I'll post some of the yellow and black cards I receive in this swap once they arrive.

Enjoy! -- Chrisi

Enjoy your Day - 2 versions

Hello,

I had an ATC swap that was themed "Think Pink." I made the ATC's that are below - but to send them, I made the hostess the card to the left.

The greeting card was made by stamping the Memory Box flower w/Staz On ink on watercolor paper. I colored it with watercolor crayons. Last, I stamped "Enjoy your Day" w/ Versafine ink. To finish the card I edged the watercolor paper with a Copic marker and wrapped the watercolor paper with a matching ribbon. Attach it all to a Memory Box cardstock.

The ATC was made by stamping the same flower as above on to decorative paper and coloring it w/ Copic markers. I used a similar ribbon and a pink ink to keep with the theme. I added a rhinestone to pop it up a bit.

Enjoy - Chrisi

p.s. ATC's are Artist Trading Cards and measure 2 1/2 by 3 1/2 inches, each are original and they are swapped (not sold) between artists.
