Evan's Valentine's Day Card

My little buddy Evan loves Buzz Lightyear. He goes to a preschool and they will have a Valentine's day party. Evan was given a choice of a monkey, a dinosaur, and Buzz. Of course, he chose Buzz! I colored it with Copics. I think we are going to do a match pack card and put a small pc. of Hershey candy inside. The card will probably read "Be my Valentine to infinity and beyond!"

CPS Card Sketches #203

Penney-Torrente stamp from Stampotique "Girl with Lunchbox". In this case it is a Doctor's bag. I used dp from my stash, an unnamed love stamp, manilla folder and heart and lip stickers. I used Copic Markers to color the image.

For Linda and my Sister

Character stamp is from American Art Stamp, "coffee clutch" by Emerson Quillan. The sentiment is from Viva Las Vegas Stamps. They have some hysterical stamps, check them out.

New Years Day Cards...VIC images

These images were from Vintage Craft Images http://www.vintageimagecraft.com. They made beautiful coasters out of the images. I decided to make cards. There is another image that is gorgeous too. I used Tim Holtz game spinners and gears to represent time (okay, maybe it's just me). I used paper from my stash and on the first one I used a cuttlebug folder to make the snowflakes.

Late Christmas Card

I gave this card to a co-worker who has a strange sense of humor like I do. On the inside of the card I put a piece of notebook paper and stamped on the top of it "Dear Santa, I can explain". He thought it was pretty funny. I colored the image with Copic markers and used a cuttlebug folder for the background.

2010 Christmas Card

I got this idea and pattern from Vintage Image Craft. The inside reads: "This is a Victorian scrap from the 1890's. Scrapping became a favored pastime of women early in the 19th century. They would scour magazines and advertisements for small black and white illustrations, cut them out, often hand-color them, and paste them in albums and journals. By the 1820's, printers began to produce materials just for scrapping, and scraps soon became more elaborate with embossing, color printing and gilding, and finally die-cutting. By the end of Queen Victoria's reign in 1901, Victorians were scrap-happy and decorating everything from gift tags to furniture with these little cut-out pictures." This site has wonderful Victorian images that are free. I used yarn for the strings on the tags. The tags are on with glue dots so they may be peeled off the card and used for a Christmas tree ornament. I used green cardstock and cream cardstock as I could not decide which I liked better.
