Cutting the Cake

I haven't played with my paper dolls for a while 

and decided to pull them out and put something together.

I was quite inspired when I saw the inspiration photo at

If You Give a Crafter a Cookie.

I stamped Lorrena from Julie Nutting and
Alex from C Thru the Woods
on white card stock, colored with Spectrum Noir markers
and fussy cut.  I embossed Lorrena's skirt and added some stickles.
I added a veil made with some netting.
MY background DP is from
the Paper Studio Kirby Teesdale Studio paper pack.
I layered a die cut cut with Ornamental Iron Cricut cartridge.
The cake a bouquet are colored digital images from
Deedee's Digis. I created a cake table with some vellum and netting.

I love the way this turned out! Hope you do too!

Jack the Pirate

Hey there everyone! Today I'm on the blog at

C Thru the Woods Clear Stamps

sharing a card I made using Charlene's newest stamp set.

Meet Jack!

I stamped Jack on white card stock with black ink and colored

with Spectrum Noir markers before fussy cutting.

I created the back ground with a pirate ship digital

image I found on the internet and colored with

Spectrum Noir markers. The treasure chest was also

found on the internet and colored with markers and gel pens

before fussy cutting. Jack was popped with foam dots.

I love the way it came out.

Dancing Couple

Hello everyone!

It's my day to post over on the

C Thru the Woods Blog.

I created an anniversary card using one of the new

digital files Charlene has created called

"Dancing Couple".

I love digital files for their versatility.

I printed this one in a size that worked well on my 5 x 6 1/2" card base.

The image was colored with Spectrum Noir markers and gel pens, fussy cut

and popped with foam tape on the rectangular panel.

The sentiment was printed on the computer and die cut.

My DP is from the paper Studio's Simple Elegance paper pack.

The flowers are Spare Parts by the Paper Studio.

Christmas With Alex

I have a new card for C Thru the Woods Clear Stamps.

I used the large Alex from the
Boys in the Woods Series
 this time with a Christmas theme.

I stamped Alex on white card stock and colored him with spectrum noir
markers. He was then fussy cut and I replaced his hat with a present which was part of a
sticker sheet I had in my stash. I created a fireplace

which was also colored with spectrum noir and smudged with black ink.

I punched greenery for the fireplace mantel with a Martha Stewart pine
fronds punch and added a dazzles border on top of the greenery.

The wreath was done with a Stampabliites stamp called Evergreen Wreath 

and also colored with spectrum noir and a gold gel pen. 

The wall behind the fireplace was created with a striped paper from a

DCWV paper stack called the Christmas Combo

and embossed card stock.

I added some K&Company corner treatments and 

used dazzles suckers for the sentiment.

I used some tiny gems throughout to finish.
