March Demo Day cards for Photo Scraps

Hi all and happy Friday!

Well, if you haven't been living under a rock for the last month or so,

you know that the world is dealing with Covid 19. Because

of that, tomorrow's Demo Day at Photo Scraps has been cancelled.

But never fear. They will still be open until the state goes on lock down.

In the meantime, you can still stop in, or call the store and one of the lovely ladies

will be happy to pull items for you, including the Demo Day projects.
They are offering curbside pickup if you do not wish to go in the shop.

They've made it easy by numbering all the cards and layouts,

as you can see here, to make it easy for you to pick!

I use Spectrum Noir markers, but I gave Tracy a list (for both Easter cards) of what 

I thought would be comparable Copic markers. I looked them up on

 Pinterest charts, but the colors might not match totally.

These are the three cards that I've created for you:

Chick in Egg card supply list:

Stamps: Sunny Studio - A Good Egg & dies

Ink: Memento - Tuxedo Black

DP: Core-dinations Purple Large Dot

CS: Spectrum Noir; black & light purple

Misc: Fiskars - Bubbles punch

Spectrum Noir markers used:

Chick: CT1,3,4 OR1,3 BT2 (around edge of egg shells)

Egg:  PL 2,4

For this Happy Birthday card, I colored the flower image using a water

brush and a few colors of Distress Ink. If you don't have those, you can

always just color it with your marker of choice.

My third card is another Easter card. (Hey, it's coming up!)
Basically, I just used markers that matched closely with that
pretty flower paper.

Thanks for popping in. Have a great weekend and be well, my friends!

It's not a bad thing....

Good morning! I've been MIA for a bit. I've been slowly cleaning and rearranging my craft room the last few days. (Too much stuff; not enough space!) Almost done but for a couple things to find places for. I did get to make a card last night. I'm entering this for Shopping Our Stash #124 and Simon Says Stamp - Halloween challenge:

Here is the inside:

Yeah, I know, I thought I was done with the Halloween cards, but there are still some great challenges out there, plus I really wanted to use this stamp! After stamping and coloring with Spectrum Noir markers, I went around the edges with Spiced Marmalade DI. I just love that sentiment, and how the stamp is made to look all distressed like that! :)

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have a great rest of the weekend!

Congratulations!..../FMS#94

Hello again! This is my second post today. I made a couple cards last night and for this one I used Freshly Made Sketch #94:

Here is the inside:

and the sketch:

What a great CAS sketch! I'm sure to be using this one again! The sentiment panel is adhered with foam squares, as is the kitty after fussy cutting it. (I stamped it twice, on both gray and white card stock, fussy cut the teeth and eyes, then glued them to the gray image.) A little shading with a gray marker finished the kitty.

Now for some more housework...yay! NOT! The floors are mopped and carpet vacuumed. Now I need to find the will power to do some dusting. BLAH! I swear I'm allergic to housework. I hope that you have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by!

Drunken Stampers #133 - Edward Scissorhands

Hello and good Saturday morning to you all! It's time for the newest challenge at Drunken Stampers #133 - Edward Scissorhands!

Our challenges are based off of movies this term. You can create a project based on the title, the theme, in this case: sewing, or go all out and do BOTH!! This week is team Midnight Margaritas turn to wow you. I choose to combine the title and sewing theme on my card:

...and here is the inside:

I. Love. Tim. Burton. Movies!!!! The more bizarre the better!!! This is one of my favorites of his! And, Johnny Depp. Need I say more?! LOL!

I very recently started using digi stamps. This is by Simply Betty Stamps, and I love how it turned out! After coloring and cutting him out of an oval, I pierced the edges and whip stitched around the panel. I added a heart charm to the bow because, after all, this was a love story. (Aren't ALL Tim Burton movies?!! LOL!) I finished the inside with the perfect sentiment, colored in the heart, stamped a pair of scissors and I was done!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Don't forget to check out what the other Midnight Margaritas have in store for you! Even better, play along! You could be crowned the next Life of the Party!!
