CYS June- Tiger or Wild Cat

June 2021 - Lola - Raevon CYSJUN
~~Make a project with a Tiger - or a wild cat of any sort: lion, puma, panther, cheetah--just not a domestic pet.

 I used punch art to make my Lion.  The scalloped circle dies on the outer layer- new in package from ? a long while back!  I cut into each scallop and layered the back 2......  I used SU 1: and 1 3/4" circle punches for the face and cheeks, and the owl punch for the heart/nose. 

 The sentiment and hat are from Taylored expressions.  I colored using Copics and added Wink of Stella for some shimmer. 

 The entries will be on Splitcoast under (search) keyword CYSJUN.

Happy Birthday!

 A fun card for the Sketch challenge at SCS for this week. 

 I pulled out a card kit from Terry Serman that still had a few images in it, and went to town.  Everything I used was in the kit except the twine and the Daffodil Delight DP. The images are from Taylored Expressions. All images colored using Copics, and a touch of Wink of Stella was used. 

 I like silly and sarcastic- and am having a blast with the images in this kit!

On the road crafting

 Still stamping out of a carry on bag....!  I did pack with Virtual Stamp Night in mind, and packed some unused card kits as well.  

  I made this card for the Featured Stamper challenge at Splitcoast today- Francine has a gorgeous gallery!  I made this card using a card kit from Terry Serman. I colored the image using Copics, and the background is the only think added that was not in the kit- I used a cloud stencil from A Colorful Life. 

  

This card was made for a VSN sports themed challenge.  I made this card for my Baseball crazed husband.  He plays baseball (wood bats and uniforms- the whole sha-bang) and watches baseball too.  The image from Impression Obsession was stamped on a Spellbinder die from my Use It pile...... I added a G45 baseball image and the rest are from a sticker set (I bought at Goodwill)..... 

This card was made for a VSN challenge for a Beach themed card.  The image was a gift from a SCS friend- not sure of the brand.  I colored using Copics and Distress inks. 

Last ,but not least, a sweet duck themed card for a VSN challenge.  The image is Bugaboo and colored using Copic markers. I used DP cut in angles for the background.  Does this card make you look forward to warmer weather???  It does for me!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Birthday cards and some snark : )

 For a few years, I have been in a Card Kit swap through SCS.  It is my month to receive kits, so I have been working on creating with them.  I asked for adult Birthday kits. 

 The first card kit is from Terry Serman.  I have many more supplies I will get back to, but used the kit to make my Splitcoaststampers Sketch card for this week.  The image is by Taylored Expressions.  My family is silly and does OK with snarky cards....!

 The next three cards are from Darlene's card kit. This card uses the DP and cupcake brads from the kit, and I added a sentiment from Create with TLC that was punched out using a SU oval punch.

 More of the metallic DP from the kit was used in the background here, and the teal metallic cardstock is from my stash.  A CC Designs die was used to cut out the sentiment.  I think when you get to the point the sentiment points to, it is called-no filter : )

 

 Another Riley and Co. sentiment which is cut out using a Gina Marie die. I used 2 colors of the metallic DP and cut them in 1/2" strips, and flip flopped the direction of the stripes.

 I am now focusing on the Virtual Stamp Night challenge cards- that is Friday 3/19 and Saturday 3/20 at Splitcoaststampers. 

Thanks for stopping by!

SCS Featured Stamper

A beautiful 6x6 pad of paper has been staring me down lately, and I made a card using the SCS Featured Stamper Marianne today.  I used a couple of dies I wanted to cut out, and a Taylored Expressions sentiment. 

It's not too often I post a card with no coloring......  but, today's card is one of the rare ones!  I used the Dp as a backdrop and added white die cut flowers as the accent.  Sequins were also added. I used SU cardstock- an in-color from the past few years....... and a perfect match for the DP from Hobby Lobby.  

The daisy dies are Memory Box, and the poppy- from SSS. 

Thanks for stopping by!

More Dare to Get Dirty- part 5

 Over at Splitcoaststampers, the Dare to Get Dirty is officially over, but the cards I made are not blogged yet, so slowly but surely I am posting them here!  As a member of the fan club, you can see the challenges, and I love being a member of the fan club and doing this challenge each year!

 

I love this card- it is a watercolor using a Power Poppy image and a Hero Arts sentiment. 

                                                  

  I made this fun card using a card kit from Terry S., and used a MFT frame around the image. The image is by Taylored Expressions.  I colored using COpic markers and added flowers and enamel sots that were in the kit. 

 The background was made using Distress Oxide Inks and The images are Unity Stamps. 

This stamp set is from my Moms stash and I stamped many of the flowers on the backing, and 3 restamped and used dies to cut out.  not sure who makes the stamps. 

More fun playing with Distress inks on this background, the image  by Impression Obsession was embossed using Black EP, and the distress inks over that.  The sentiment is Unity. 

 This is a wreath die from Memory Box, and I cut out the flowers using fall colors. The background is a die by CC Designs. The Thankful die was a Michaels special- I think it is by Spellbinders. 

I always enjoy the DTGD challenges and make cards to send to friends and a few Christmas cards as well!

Dare to Get Dirty at Splitcoast Stampers

 I have been busy making cards for the DTGD challenges over at Splitcoast.  You have to be a Fan Club member to see and join in the challenges. 

 For the first day, there were 6 challenges.  

 This image and sentiment are from Jan's Digital Images.  I used Distress inks on the background and Copics to color the chairs. 

 This sweet image is by ALl Dressed Up and the sentiment is SSS.  

 I went vintage with this image by Magenta.  I colored it using Copic markers. How do you like that big bow???

 This slimline card uses images from Recollections and Jennifer from SCS sent it to me in a swap that is for Christmas images. I used MFT snow drift dies and the last of my Iridescent Ice EP. 

This image is from Taylored Expressions and is colored using Copic markers.

  I had a bit of fun water coloring these flowers from Unity Stamps. Water coloring is one of my favorite ways to color in embossed flowers. 

Day one was Saturday, and I have been making cards like crazy.  I will be back to show you more soon!

Thanks for stopping by!
