January Color Challenge at 52CCT
January Color Challenge at 52CCT
It is time for the first color challenge of the new year over at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown. This week’s colors are a strange holiday combination, but one that works if you think about it. The colors are green and purple.
I pulled out a stamp set form Avery Elle and stamped it out onto some white cardstock. Then using my copics, I colored in the image trying to focus on the green and purple…

Christmas... A Tad Early
hehehe! I can’t help it! I know I’m super early with a Christmas card, but when all of these amazing stamp companies start releasing all of the new Christmas goodness I just have to play!!! It’s Lisa here, btw, and today I’m having fun with the new Avery Elle Stamp Set called Winter Woodland Wonders.
See the cuteness?! How could I resist? To create this card I started by stamping the birch trees on my panel as a background. I then added the sentiment and ornament. On a separate piece of cardstock I stamped the ornament a second time along with 5 holly and that adorable bear. I knew that I wanted my bear to be in the foreground of my card so I die cut the hill and added Nuvo Glimmer paste in Moonstone with my finger and set it off to dry. I went back to my stamped images and colored them in with my Spectrum Noir Illustrator Markers.
Once everything was colored I cut out the bear, the bottom part of the ornament and the holly to adhere to my card. The snowy hill was added to the bottom front with foam adhesive tape. I then went back and added some light blue snowflakes to the background. After the stamped panel was complete I layered it onto some striped patterned paper from Lawn Fawn.
Thanks so much for stopping by today, and I hope you’ve had a chance to check out our latest challenge for your chance to win a Nuvo Goody Pack!
Happy Crafting!

A little Spooky...
Hello! It’s Lisa here today and I have a fun Halloween card to share with all of you today using the new Avery Elle Bad Kitty Set. Since this set is smaller, it’s also lighter on the wallet which is always a good thing! But don’t underestimate it’s size, this set can still pack a big and spooky punch…
To create this card I started by stamping my pumpkin and cat onto separate cardstock. I then used my Spectrum Noir Illustrator Markers in TN5, TN8, OR1, OR2, CT2, IG5, IG6, IG8, DR1, DR2, LG2 to color them in before cutting them out. When I am handing cutting an image I like to go over the edges with my Memento Marker in Tuxedo Black. This may seem a little redundant, but trust me it can make a big difference. After these guys were are set for my card I started working on my cardbase. First, I stamped the bats to look like they would be flying out of the pumpkin. Next, came my spider web, spider and sentiment in the opposite corner. To achieve a night sky I used a mix of Distress Oxide and Distress Inks. My spider web seemed to fade more into the background than I wanted it to so I traced over the image and drew a line to my spider with a white gel pen. I like the shadow effect it gave too.
A few mist splatters later and my cardbase was ready for my witch kitty and pumpkin. I layered the pumpkin with foam adhesive for dimension to my scene. Everything looked cute, but I still felt like it was lacking one more thing… bling! So I added one red rhinestone to the cats collar and called it a day.
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Don’t forget to join in our biweekly challenge, as this time MarkerPOP is giving away a nice Nuvo Goodie Pack!

I had a bit of time today, so I figured it was time to dust off the old challenge skills. It just feels like I haven’t spent nearly enough time doing challenges since we moved. I am excited that the start of school for the kids is only two weeks away, and I may be able to carve a little more time out for my crafting roots. Never the less, here are a few cards…
Up first from the gals over at L…

Happy Father's Day with Avery Elle
Hi Crafters! I can’t believe mom’s and dad’s days are right around the corner! I have a pretty Father’s Day card today featuring Avery Elle‘s new Shine Bright stamp & die set, and their new Scalloped Pierced Rectangles STAX die set.
The images are stamped using Memento’s Tuxedo Black ink onto X-Press IT Blending Card Paper, and colored with Copic markers (I use Sketch markers).
The red & white diagonally striped paper is from Doodlebug’s 6×6 Anchors Away paper pad.
The background is created using Distress Inks applied with onto Tim Holtz Watercolor Cardstock with Mini Ink Blending Tools.
For the beam of light, I first stamped it with Altenew’s Warm Sunshine Ink from their Summer Afternoon ink pad set, available in full size ink pads or mini’s. Then I stamped it again with VersaMark Ink, and heat embossed it using Wow! Clear Gloss Embossing Powder.
The sentiment was stamped using VersaMark, and heat embossed with Wow! White Pearl Embossing Powder. I added Zig Clear Wink of Stella to the flying birds and the red parts of the lighthouse. The final touch were the Pretty Pink Posh Sequins in Cobalt 4mm & 6mm.
Thank you for stopping by and I hope this has given you some inspiration!

Valentine Card #2 That's Amore
It is time for card#2 in my 2017 Valentine series. Don't forget to leave me a comment while you are there.
Hello everyone. I am back today with Valentine #2 in my 2017 series. Today I am using Avery Elle’s stamp set Dreamboat. I actually tried a little something different today. This is new to me and to be honest I am not sure I like it yet. Thinking of the movies I have seen on Venice with the canal flowing in between buildings I decided to add that to my card. I started off with the background. I…

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
Hello, hello! It is Lisa here with you again today and I’m going Retro and bright with today’s Christmas card, take a peek…
To create todays card I started by diecutting my background from a mix of Lawn Fawn Beach Size Petite Paper Pack and My Favorite Things Plaid Patterns Merry and Bright Paper Pack. Using the My Favorite Things Stitched Basic Edges Die cut I was able to create the fun layered pattern. Once it was all adhered together I stamped the ornaments and sentiment from the Avery Elle Retro Ornaments Set onto Neenah Solar White cardstock and colored them in with my Copic® Markers (B02, B05, RV14, RV25, YG01, YG03, YG25, Y11, Y15, Y24,Y26). These were then cut out and I decided to pop them up foam foam adhesive and some gold thread. The sentiment was diecut from the Pretty Pink Posh Stitched Banner Duo and adhered on the left side of the card.
Thanks so much for joining me today and Happy Crafting!

Happy Holidays: Retro Style...
Hello! It is Lisa Lahiff here with you today, and I’m very excited to share this CAS Christmas Card with a Retro Feel…
I used a fun mix of products to create this card including: Retro Ornaments by Avery Elle, Lawn Fawn Stitch Border Cuts, and set #5 of the Tim Holtz Distress Crayons. To be honest this card started out as a happy accident. When I first got my distress crayons I just wanted to play around and test them out so I mixed a few colors onto watercolor cardstock and went over them with a baby wipe. I then spritzed it with some water and perfect pearls and set it off to dry. The stitched background was inspired by a card I had seen Jennifer McGuire create quite some time ago, and I had been itching to create one too so I did. I also decided to round the bottom of the stitched background with My Favorite Things Die-namic Stitched Basic Edges. I then went back to my now dry watercolor cardstock and stamped the ornament images with Versafine Ink, cut them out and added a few accents with a gold pen. I stamped the sentiment in the right corner of some patterned paper, and then I layered it all onto my cardbase.
Thank you so much for stopping by and Happy Crafting!
