Big Ben: London

I began this tag by stamping the clock (Inkadinkado) and Big Ben (Stampabilities) on scraps of white card stock with Versafine Onyx. I cut down the Big Ben image and colored it in with my Spectrum Noir colored pencils. Then, I die cut the tag which measures approximately 2 1/2" by 4 1/2". Next, I cut strips of white and red card stock and glued it to the tag. Then, I glued the clock face to the tag. After that, I used double-sided foam tape to adhere the other image to the tag. Then, I used my Silent Setter to bore a hole into the top middle of tag. I set in an eyelet and threaded a white ribbon through it.

Cupcake 2

Except for the ribbon, this is a one-layer A2-sized card. I began by stamping the cupcake and the sentiment on a white card base using Versafine Onyx. I colored the cupcake with my Spectrum Noir colored pencils. I cut slits down either side with my X-acto knife and threaded the ribbon through. I also cut a slit near the fold and brought the thread to the inside of the card. I taped it down with double-sided tape.

Cupcake 1

I began this card by stamping the cupcake (Inkadinkado) on a piece of white card stock with Versafine Onyx, and I cut it out with scissors. I colored it using my Spectrum Noir colored pencils. Then, I cut a piece of magenta card stock slightly smaller than the A2-sized card base. I ran it through by Big Shot with an embossing folder to create a textured surface. I adhered that to the card base with double-sided tape. Next, I cut a length of jumbo wide orange rick-rack and glued it to the magenta panel. After that, I glued the cupcake cut-out to the rick-rack. Finally, I used yellow Stickles to simulate a flame for the candle.

A Little Frog Told Me...

I began this A2-sized card by stamping all of the elements on the manila-colored card stock. I stamped the shadow at the bottom (Rubber Room ?) in Distress Archival Ink. I stamped the frog (Stampendous) in Versafine Onyx and the sentiment (Peddler's Pack Stampworks) in Vivid olive. Then, I colored the frog in the tutu with my Spectrum Noir colored pencils. Next, I layers that panel over an olive-colored card stock which was laid over a manila-colored card base. The last thing I did was add silver glitter to the hem of the tutu and the crown. (It doesn't show up well in a scan, darn it!) I believe this is the first time I've used glitter on a card. It is really fine.

Fall is in the Air

I began this A2-sized card by stamping the pumpkin image (Northwoods Rubber Stamps) with Versafine Onyx and coloring it using my Spectrum Noir colored pencils. I cut it out by hand. Then, I cut strips of fall-types of paper and glued them to the back of the image. I used double-sided foam tape to lift it off the brown panel. Finally, I stamped the sentiment (also Northwoods Rubber Stamps) and glued it to the front of the image.

Happy Thanksgiving

I began this A2-sized card with a manila-colored card base. Then, I cut the plaid paper a bit smaller and used double-sided tape to adhere it to the card base. Next, I cut a manila-colored panel and stamped the sentiment (Uptown Design Co.) and the pumpkin image (Hero Arts). After that, I colored in the pumpkin using my Spectrum Noir colored pencils. Finally, I cut out some bits of that panel to get rid of the white space.

Christmastime

This tag measures about 3" by 3 1/2". I began by stamping the image (Stampin' Up!) using Versafine Onyx ink. Then, I colored it using my Spectrum Noir colored pencils. Next, I cut the graduated layers and adhered them one on top of the other using double-sided tape. After that, I cut the tag out of a medium green card stock. I punched a hole at the top for the white/clear tinsel-like threads and adhered the layered image on it.

A Playful Cat

 This tag measures approximately 3 1/4" by 5 1/2" without the fibers. First, I stamped the cat (Viva Las Vegas Stamps) with Versafine Onyx. I colored her with my Spectrum Noir colored pencils in a gray color. Second, I stamped the cat again on a Post-It note and cut it out to make a mask. I placed the mask over the cat and the "floor". Third, I used my MISTI stamp positioner to stamp the background (Stampers Anonymous) using Vivid ink in straw. Fourth, I removed the masks and colored the floor to match the Vivid ink. Lastly, I cut some fibers and threaded them through the hole at the top. It looks like the cat is playing with them, as cats are wont do.

Autumn Icons

I began this A2-sized card by stamping the Autumn icons (Stampin' Up!) with Versafine Onyx. I cut the panel down to less than 3 1/2" on a side. I colored the images with my Spectrum Noir colored pencils. Then, I cut two other panels to the same measurements as the first panel. Next, I adhered everything to the card base with double-sided tape.
