Winter Bird Notecards

I love birds and I gorgot to show you the amazing work by Bonnie so directy from her blog:

Last week I shared a calendar that I made for DD's birthday. I used the Calendar Birds from Nicecrane Designs. I also got a sheet of Christmas Birds. I made them into some note cards that are perfect for thank you notes or for any Winter occasion.

The images are already colored so it's really quick and easy to put together a set of cards.

Close-ups:

Nicecrane Designs has added some lovely Valentine images to its collection and each and everyone is so sweet. that it is hard to make a choice which ones to use.I decided to use an image from this sheet:

GET HERE BE MY VALENTINE CS

I did not use any design papers on this box, since the image itself was so lovely it hardly needed anything more than a few bit and bops.
The heartbox is a die from Whiff of Joy.
The arrows that I stamped on the cotton are also from Whiff of Joy.
Looking forward reading your comments.

But take a look to my new sheets:

Magical Names & Vintage Ladies Cards

Working with Magical Names

Vicky at my DT did a really amazing work with my Magical Names Sheet, so directly from her blog:!!! I haven't shown you a creation from Nicecrane Design in 2 weeks!!!! YIKES!!! You can tell if I didn't post anything last week it's because I've been really really sick... So I created something and just didn't have the energy to post :( So sorry about that.But I'm here tonight will I'm watching the olympics opening to share with you the little card that I made with the fabulous set Magical name

It's just so fabulous to use with a little sentiment of your choice!!!

So adorable and cute Magical Card vy Vicky

For this card I decided to use some papers from Spring jubilee by Pink Paislee. I think it's just perfect for the vintage look. I used some vintage buttons from my buttons and some twine. I used my wonky rectangle to cut the image and the paper under it. And I stamped a little happy b-day sentiment from my stash.

Here's a closer look at the fabulous digi that I colored with my copics.

For the love of Vintage

Astrid Maclean did a Play of Art,,,,OMG:Hello everyone, thanks so much for dropping in. This weekend I had some playtime so I decided to play with some of the wonderful designs from Nicecrane. I created a kind of accordion card, using the Tim Holtz Vintage Cabinet Card die.

I cut 3 large ones, two of them with the small cabinet card die inside to create frames, and then I used the cut outs for the end pieces as you can see from the pictures. I cut them all from chip board, then painted them with Fresco paints, first in Mud Splat, then with crackle glaze and then the top coat was Stone. When the crackle had done its magic I cut some trellises with a memory box die and glued them behind the two framed pieces. Finally I decorated them with papers from the Papermania Madame Payraud's collection. I totally love those papers. The vocal images are from the following two Nicecrane collections: Henry Hutt Women and Vintage Woman's Hats.

One of the end pieces, collaged with bits and pieces from the paper collection. I also stamped all the frames with a Stempelglede swirl stamp in Walnut Stain Distress Ink.

One of the Henry Hutt women, the roses are from the Graphics 45 Ladies' Diary collection. I inked them with some Aged Mahogany and Walnut Stain Distress Inks, to tone them down a bit. The butterfly is from the Madame Payrauds collection.

I thought this lady from the Nicecrane Vintage Woman's Hat collection, needed to take centre stage on this card. She looks so confident and happy. The other bits are mostly from the Madame Payrauds Collection again and another G45 rose.

Another Henry Hutt woman, to mirror the first one, again embellished with the G45 Lady's Diary flowers.

And the final end piece, to mirror the first panel.

And Here is the sheet used:

Japanese Inspiration, Puppies & Kitten Cards

Working with Japanese Textures

Ginny at my  DT did these amazing and so lovely Japanese Cards: just did two OSA cards using busy prints, they are for the Kodomo and the Koi Mingles

Both of these are images stamped on vellum over prints.First the Koi card: This is an example of using a image as a design element;

This card is made with digital images and hand stamping. The Koi are from a PNG file that I made and printed on vellum, the beautiful background paper is from  Japanese Textures Collection  texture pintables.
By combine the images over the patterned paper and adding a complimentary color (using a color wheel if you aren't familiar with color family/combinations).

The end result:

.

So stunning Koi Card by Ginny

The glittery stuff is actually cheap nail polish with mica flecks. The photo do not due it justice.

In my Kodomo card, Similar technique, again using a Nicecrane texture , print on prints with color "rests:

There is enough solid color in this card to give it balance and your eyes a rest. The coloring on the rooster is again, cheap nail polish!
