Elf Lili writes Santa….

I love this stamp from Inky Impressions, Lili’s Cleaning Day! I just had to make her into a Christmas card. I’m joining the challenge #32, to use Green, Red and White at Colour Create, and Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps challenge to use circles. November is my last month on the Inky Impressions design team. A design team call is going on now…check it out if you love these gals!

Dear Santa, Please send…

Hope you’re LAUGHING!!! hohoho

I colored Lili with copic sketch markers, photo below. The pattern papers I used are from an old Christmas 6×6 set by Memory Box. The history outline paper stamp is by Teresa Collins, comes as a cling mount stamp. The teeny tree is an old Hero Arts from one of those tubs of 18 or so stamps. The holly punch is medium size and it’s not marked who it’s from…I think it’s pretty common though. Hope she makes you smile! I sure had fun coloring her!!!

Do you like the marker pictures?

I like this job! insert grin! Such fun stamps to create with and challenging too…look at these kids…I stamped them…wondering what am I going to do…start coloring and the magic happens! Decided they should be ATC’s…cute, cute, cute! I think this first one would be an adorable Valentine! There are four of these cute kids by Chubby Pencil in the November release at All That Scraps…adorable!

Showed them to my grandchildren this afternoon and Gena the two year old didn’t want to give them back to me!!! She cried! She especially loved the frog boy…what a girl! lol

EK Success holly punch, Martha Stewart pine branch punch, sentiment is computer generated, Cuttlebug embossing folder, Coluzzle circle cutter, this needed larger circles than the nestabilities. The edge of the circle is aged with Weathered Wood distress ink.

The Never Ending Card….

November 14, 2009February 17, 2011 Pam Sparks11 Comments

Have you heard of it before? Very fun and easy to make…here’s the video I watched and liked the best of all the ones out there…
The first photo is the front…

Then it opens like a double door to this…

Then you fold the top over and the bottom back to this…

Then you open it like double doors again to this…write your message here…

Then fold the top over and the bottom back again and you are back to the front!

Here’s a close up of the front…tried to capture the sparkle from the Glimmer Mist and spica clear glitter pen.

A very fun and easy project…well, challenging to figure out what to put where! I did one that I put pattern paper on all the squares and rectangles and that is cool too.

Dig these new flowers?!!! Awesome… new punch and emboss from Nellie Snellen in the Netherlands…
Paper is My Minds Eye and Bazzil, Fiskars and Martha border and branch punches, Stampin up white taffeta ribbon I dyed with my copic markers, Hero Arts pearls, Tilda from Magnolia and the sentiment from Wordsworth. Hope she makes you smile and get to work! HA! oh and she is colored with copic sketch markers. I colored her a couple days ago and I don’t have a clue what I used. bum, I would like to know myself!!!
