My project started out as a 2013 New Year's Card but once I finished the card I thought it would look great on a on layout so my whole card thing turned into a layout thing. Even the circle with the word "trip" on it was going to go on the card but works so much better on the layout.

Tsunami Rose Challenge Wednesday DT displays


Tsunami Rose Links                                           
Isn't this new paper just lovely for making a card to send a friend to tell her how special she is?


Thank you so much for stopping by today and I'm looking forward to see what beautiful and amazing projects, cards and layouts you come up with using New Beginnings Journal from Tsunami Rose Designs.

Cat's Meow for Chalk N Stock DT

Welcome!

I have another card to show today that I used chalk not only to color in my image but to highlight the background. First I stamped my image and then used gold heat embossing powder over it. I colored in the image using my Pebble Inc. chalks. These are a pressed chalk pallet that you can see behind the card. You use pompoms to color with.
I then dry embossed the background with my Cuddlebug and used a blue chalk ink pad to lightly go over the raised areas.

This is a cute card to with wish a child or cat lover a happy birthday with!

Thanks for stopping by today and see you tomorrow for my Tsunami Rose DT day.

Christmas Gift Printable Journal Set Day 2

Welcome back today where I continue to show some of the Christmas cards I made using the beautiful paper from Tsunami Rose's collection Christmas Gift Printable Journal. This is a vintage Christmas paper that will take you back in time with it's beauty and grace and is versatility. The kits comes as a printable journal but can be used in so many other ways such as photo layouts and Christmas cards like she did.

Both cards today have elements from the same page of the Christmas Gift Printable Journal set.

I did some fancy cutting and inking to bring this card together. I just love these angels and am bummed that you can't see how I used snow glitter to accent parts of the picture with the angels.

Isn't this a fun card? Got to love that BINGO! This card has a few different layers to it. Under the BINGO is some of the holly writing journal at the bottom. Then I used my Nestabilities to cut out the oval paper and added red glitter glue to the berries again and some green square blings and finally I cut out the Santa and accented him with some glitter glue and used pop dots to make him stand out.


Thank you for stopping by today check out the  Christmas Gift Printable Journal by Tsunami Rose.

Christmas Card from Tsunami Rose

Welcome to Lorby's World (http://lorbysworld.blogspot.com) where today I am showing some of the Christmas cards I made using the beautiful paper from Tsunami Rose's collection Christmas Gift Printable Journal. This is a vintage Christmas paper that will take you back in time with it's beauty and grace and is versatile. The kits comes as a printable journal but can be used in so many other ways such as photo layouts and Christmas cards like I did.

The cards I made for today have words on them both and they are from the same page of the Christmas Gift Printable Journal set.

 
This first card I cut out the "Picture Perfect Christmas" words and inked around the outside and added a pearl and some twine and I ended up with a picture perfect Christmas card.

This one was a little more time consuming. I cut out up the journaling page and added gold ink to the outside of it and I used red glitter glue to accent the holly berries. I then cut out the "Christmas Wishes" words and cut around them also used dark blue ink around the edges with some pearl accents and red glitter glue on the tiny berries.

Thank you for stopping by today and please return tomorrow to see more cards I made using the Christmas Gift Printable Journal by Tsunami Rose.

A little holiday chalk please.

I've been busy making Christmas cards and Christmas is on Tuesday and I still have a few cards who didn't make it to the mailbox. Christmas has come to fast for me once again. I'll have to add a New Year's card and send them next week I guess.

Here is one that was made and got to it's person in time. It went to a teacher at my daughter's school with their holiday gift.

The image is one of the adorable and FREE images from Dearie Dolls Digital Stamps. I used my colored pencils and blending pencil to color the image but I used my new cream metallic chalks from Pebbles to add dimension to the snow and tree branches. I used metallic grey on the snow and metallic light green on the tree. I didn't know if I was going to like the cream chalks because they are hard to work with and so far aren't good for coloring but they work great for accenting and adding a touch of glimmer to your projects.

The green and red crystals that add that extra little touch came from  Miriam's Crafting Supplies.

I hope you enjoyed this holiday card and don't forget to head to Chalk N Stock for their December challenge - anything goes - which goes until December 31st.

Wrap It Up Christmas Blog Hop

Christmas is right around the corner! Hard to believe right?
Well let’s wrap up the holiday season. With some fabulous projects from the designers here at My Life in Arts’ n Crafts’

Who says you have to have traditional red and green for Christmas?  This is a Christmas card I made using papers from Tsunami Rose. I spritzed the blue background and the "Making Spririts Bright" sign in gold and added some bling.  I finally used the denim blue just from My Life in Arts N Crafts.

Next I created a gift tags. You can never have too many of them this time of the year.
 I had the pre-cut out of the Penguin but I need a little extra so I cut out the oval using my Cuddlebug and then I added the jute from My Life In n' Crafts. The jute color is red and green I love the feeling the jute adds to this project.


Jessi is going to be giving away some fabulous goodies.
