HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Since I have had my Cameo I have been totally enamored with the almost unlimited abilities this cutter has. I bought a standup easel that was on sale at Michaels and did not know what to do with it once I got it home, I had finished making Halloween cards and still wanted to play, so I decided to make 8X8 Halloween pages and put them in the easel to display with other Halloween things. This gave me the idea that I can leave it up year around and use it to celebrate the holidays, seasons or whatever... Here are some of the pages I put into the easel.

Valentine Card

This is a Valentine card that I made with my new Cameo. The 'pop-out cut design was from Samantha Walker Designs and it cuts out beautifully.

I recently bought a Silhouette Cameo and I just love the way it cuts.  If you use the software that is free with the machine, you can print something on your printer and then cut out the image perfectly.  This makes it possible to take anything off the internet and print and cut it!  Here are 2 cards I just made using internet images and printing and cutting them.  It seems like the possibilities are limitless.

Halloween Page

This is a page I did for Halloween... Ghosts are vellum and witch is cut with the Cricut Imagine:

House Mouse Get Well Card

This is a card I made for the Penny Black Friends Challenge.  It is a House Mouse stamp and embellished with Chrystal Accents on the ice cube and real cotton for the pill bottle.  Spellbinders label holds the sentiment and silver brads are in the corners.

Cherries Mouse

Here is a card I made for a challenge on Penny Blacks Saturday Challenge.  The rubber stamp is an older one that I just love.  I colored it with Copics and added the corners made from a Cuttlebug die.  I could never have stayed in the lines with the Copics to do the label  on the jar so I used Micron Pigma pen by Sakura .05.

Bonjour

Just got this Penny Black stamp "Bonjour" and it is too darn cute.  Made this card for the challenge at the Penny Black web site.  The flowers are some quill flowers from a pack that I bought from QVC ages ago and the stripped paper is from a DCWV pack called Whimsy.  The girl is colored with Copics.

Thanks for looking...

Senior Birthday Card

I love this digi stamp, it is from Stitchy Bear Stamps .  
It is called 'Birthday Boy'.   I used a cuttlebug folder to emboss the frame.

It just makes me laugh. 

Birds challenge at Stamp TV

Here is a card I made for the Stamp TV Free for all Friday Challenge .  The stamp if from 'Great Impressions.  I colored it with Copics, added some Prima Flowers and some Sakura pen glitter.  The side of the card is embossed with Cuttlebug strip.

A Pink Chinese Tilda

Here is another interpretation of this Magnolia stamp.  Tilda in pink... I have entered this in the challenge for the Readers Group at CMC Copic Challenge.

Landscape Challege

This is a card I made for a friend's son's 18th.  The stamp is from DeadBeat Designs and the trunk is designed to be cut open to reveal a sentiment.  I airbrushed the background and used Glossy Accents on the window.  Colored with Copics and freehanded the road and grass.

Rosey

This is a card I did for Kelly's Kids Challenge it is a digi stamp called  Nanny Rose.  I used Copics to color and framed with a CuttleBug embossing folder.

Red and Aqua Challenge

Chinese Tilda for the Red and Aqua challenge for the Color Me Creative Blog.

Chinese Tilda

My most recent crafting love is Copics.  I love the challenge of this medium and the wonderful creativity of using them.  Stamping was my first venture in the the paper crafting world and when I feel that I need something more challenging I return to my stamps.  Combining the two is a no brainer and so I have jumped head first into the wonderful world of Copics...  This Magnolia stamp is my new favorite and I created 2 examples of it.  Hope you like it.

Pirate Card

This is a birthday card I made for a friend using the Buccaneer Cricket Cart.  I really like the detailed images and humorous clips.

This is the inside, the background paper was printed using the Imagine as well as the images.

Get Well Card

This card is from the 'Just a Note' cartridge in the E2.  It is a tri-fold card and it was pretty easy to construct.

Congratulations Card

I really love the color combo of this card.  I used the nestabilities to cut out the frame for the basked of flowers and used the Tim Holtz stamp pad 'spiced marmalade' to highlight the stencil.
