Hello Crafty Friends :o)

I know many of you are not thinking about Christmas, but as fast as these years are flying... you better get started on your crafts. This post is for Merry Little Christmas where Christmas projects are a must.

Sorry, I can't help myself, but I love these new "Pissy Kitty" stamps from Unity. The image was stamped and colored with my prismacolor pencils. Nothing too fancy, just let the image speak for itself.

MIUCB #82: You Got This

Hello Crafty Friends :o)

This is my post for Mix It Up , this month's optional challenge is Use Die Cuts. Make sure to visit the sister blogs for more inspiration.

Like many of you, I have stamps and die-cuts that were purchased and never used. Time to break them out of the hoarder box and use them. The is a die cut set from TLC Designs called Aztec Sunshine Circle. The sets make it easy to create a simple card fast.

Here is the inside.

LTCCB #91: Wooden Lily Flower

Hello Crafty Friends :o) Lots of pictures in this post, so grab some hot tea and enjoy.

This post is for Love to Craft, Anything Crafty is what we are looking for.

This is a wooden lily, starburst lily, one of my favorite flowers.

My son and I picked up some kits from our bookstore to try out and see how easy they were. All pieces are made of sturdy wood, except for a few heavy cardstock pieces that had to be folded.

Me being me... I couldn't just put the pieces together without coloring, inking and making it my own. I didn't use the yellow stickers for the stamens, the stickers just stood out too much. The color pencils came out and yes, you can color on wood.

Inking the wooden edges helped with the pieces blending together. You can also see the leaves I colored and made veins into the leaves to make them look realistic.

These pieces can replace the bee if you wanted something different.

These is how they came...plain.

Coloring the pieces made it vibrate and my own piece of work.

Thanks for looking and reading :o)

LTSCB #178: Find Your Center

Hello Crafty Friends :o) Spring is almost here, bring on the flowers and sunshine.

This is my post for Love to Scrap where Anything Goes.

I created a bookmark/tag, just because I got some new fun things from Soto Studios and wanted to play. New stencils, paper, stickers, and some clear background stamps; a little mix media fun was needed. The butterfly was cut out of sheer paper and the rest is just mix media fun.

Here's the back.

LTCCB#88: Hello Sunflowers

Hello Crafty Friends,

As summer comes to end, it's time for some Fall flowers.

This is from the 2019 Kit and Clowder coloring class (yes, I'm that behind with doing some of my classes, but I will get there....some day). Alyce drew the image herself and teaching how to color it, which was done with prismacolor pencils. Just add bees ... it's ready to go.

Here's the inside.

LTSCB #175: Sibling Whatever Birthday

Hello Crafty Friends,

It's hard to believe Fall is almost here, this year has flown by.

I know I have already used this stamped, but I couldn't help myself to make another card for my brother. His birthday is 2 days after mine and we are the same age for 2 days, this stamp set was too fitting.

I stamped the image on cardstock and colored with my colored pencils. The background was done with a watercolored pencil. Kept it simple and made sure the kitty had a twine to play with, but I don't think he is having it.

Here's the inside.
