Gypsy Vardo Center pieces

The day has finally arrived and below are the Vardos and Welcome sign, I had so much fun creating these wagons!!

Airbrushing

I put this design together as the image for our gift bags.  I was going to rhinestone it but we decided to go with a Red Hat with Purple band in rhinestones instead.  So I cut this out and made it into the welcome poster for the registration table.

This is the first image I created of a Gypsy Vardo. I got the idea watching YouTube videos.  I then figured out how to create the layout I needed to design and cut the centerpieces.

This is the rhinestone pattern for gift bags; first time I designed a rhinestone two color image and created 250 transfers and the first time I used my heat press to set the stones to the bags.  It was a very successful experience.

Merry Christmas Everyone

CDAC Progressive Challenge #4

This is the 4th challenge and for both I used Copic Markers to color the images.

This is a really cute image by designs to delight.  To purchase this image please vist the website

Around the frame I used a Tim Holtz gold paint dauber.

This is an amazing image from delicious doodles.  I use the cuttlebug Swirls embossing folder on the background paper and the Tim Holtz gold dauber around the edges of the image.

Gypsy Vardo

This Gypsy Vardo will be a table centerpiece for a theme party, Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves for the Red Hat Society I belong to.  So the wagon is Purple, The roof and steps Red and the woodwork is silver.  I plan to drape red and purple beads around the wagon and add a few gold wrapped chocolate coins.

Summer Cottage

I was trying to design a Gypsy Vardo as a centerpiece for a table, the party theme is Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves,  this looks like a Cottage so I went back to my MTC software to try again.

Thank You Card

Another card using MTC and I found a pretty font for the lettering.  I used Tim Holtz Dabbers to create the background paper pattern.

Lattice Card Made using MTC and cut with Black Cat Cougar

Hi Everyone,
I made this card from an MTC tutorial and cut it with my new Cougar.

Farewell Card

I had so much fun putting this card together.  I had no idea what I doing when I started, I just let the ideas flow based on the personality of the person I made it for and voila!  Please leave me comments in the comments area below. I would love to know if my art inspires you.

Birthday Cards

Hi Everyone,
I have been using my Cricut Carts along with switching between Cri-Kit Pens and the blades (sort of a faux digi art effect) and as always adding Stickles, Copics, Gems, Buttons, Embroidery Thread, Glossy Accents and anything else that takes my fancy, while trying new ways of designing cards.  Hope you like what I have created. Please leave comments below in the comments section if you like what I have done,  I would love to know if you feel inspired by my art.

Happy New Year Everyone

I tried my Cri-Kit Pens (different company than Provocraft) in my Cricut and the MTC (Make The Cut) software with layers so I could print the colors separately.  I found a fun design font for the silver design and TTF Fonts for everything else.  I just love these pens, it brings a whole new level of creativity to my thinking.  I added dots of silver stickles inside the champagne glasses and the four centers of the silver design.  I traced over the red with Red Stickles and added clocks at midnight instead of tiny bubbles. I added a Red ribbon to the glasses to add balance to the colors.  Wishing Everyone a Very Happy and Prosperous New Year!!!

Cutters Creek Blog Hop December 11 and 12, 2010

I decided my craft room needed a Christmas Tree with decorations and what better choice then Red and Green.  I used images from Cricut Christmas cartridge, Seasons Greetings and Christmas Cheer. The Tree is cut twice from the Christmas Cartridge on  12 x 12 card stock.  I folded each tree in half and one piece slit from treetop to middle and the other from bottom to middle and slid together.    

 The banner is also from the Christmas Cartridge and adhered with scor tape  to the Ribbon. 

 The Tree topper is from Joys of the Season and I used glue dots between the Red and Green. I used Green and Christmas Red Stickles a lot!  I created snow on the edges using Marvy Uchida liquid applique and my heat gun. The deer is from the Christmas cartridge.

The Snowflakes are from the Christmas Cartridge  I made two in Red and two in Green folded in half and glued together using a Quickie glue pen and alternating Green and Red.  I used COPIC  G07 Nile Green and R29 Lipstick Red to cover the Twinkle Jewels  and adhered with Glossy Accents

The Skate is from Joys of the Season and snowflake is folded in half over branch and looks very festive. I put Red stickles on the laces and Sakura Gelly Roll Silver on the blade.

The train is from the Christmas cartridge and the shadow layer is green with decoratvie paper for the train. 

The winter house is from the Christmas cartridge and covered with lots of Diamond stickles.  

 I hope you have enjoyed my Christmas Tree.  Don't forget to leave a comment to be entered in the draw for prizes from Cutters Creek.  One drawing per person. Contest ends Sunday, December 12 a midnight. From my blog one lucky crafter will win the following set of paper shapers.  Woohoo!!!!
