Country Birthday Card

 

This image is from Power Poppy.  I have recently enjoyed coloring their images once again.  This is colored with Copic markers.  The paper is from The Paper Studio.  It is a wonderful pack of country papers.  I thought this pic was so unusual combining tomatoes and flowers.

Fruit Wreath for 2026

 

I do this fruit wreath every couple of years.  I always try to color it slightly different from previous years.  This year I cannot get the image to stick to the background.  That gold corrugated paper is almost impossible to stick anything to.  I have used it in the past and don't remember having that difficulty.

Anyways, the image is from Isabella's Sketchbook which I believe no longer exists online.  I colored the image with Copic markers.   

Christmas Stash (E)

 

 

This is my next batch of cards for Splitcoaststampers Christmas Card 

Challenge.  The picture above is from Power Poppy.  I colored it with Copic markers, Prismacolor pencils and a white pen.  The paper is from my stash.

 

 

 

This is another image from Power Poppy.   I colored it with Copic markers and Prismacolor pencils.

 Number three this week is also from Power Poppy.  I have such a large amount of their digital images and haven't used them in so long.  This image was colored with Copic markers.

  

This card took me hours and hours to complete.  It is done with the Spellbinder's Glimmer machine.  I honestly had forgotten how to use it, it's been so long.  Lots of not so nice words were flying around my craft room.  I finally resorted to You Tube to figure out how to use it again.  I found a series of courses that take you through how to use the machine.  My biggest problem was getting everything to stay in one place before it gets through the BigShot.  I finally watched the video about hinging the pieces together.  That solved my problem, thank goodness.

Birthday Card for my Brother

 

This card uses an image by QKR Stampede, I believe.  It is colored with Copic markers.  The paper is from Stampin' Up.  I think my brother will enjoy the sentiment.  

Pretty Christmas Cluster

 

I have been wanting to color this image for years.  I was always intimidated by it.  I finally decided to try and tackle it and am happy with the results.  The image is from Power Poppy.  It is colored with Copic markers.  Thr paper is from Stampin' Up.

 

Christmas Stash (D)

This card was made with a Stampin' Up die set. The snowflakes were punched with a 

Martha Stewart punch.

 

 

This card uses an image by Power Poppy.  It is colored with Copic markers and Polychromos pencils .  

 

 

 

  I can never seem to get my cards lined up correctly.  Oh well, this will have to co.  These cards were made from one of Stampin' Ups Christmas sets from last year. 

 

 

  

 

                                                

April 2026 Entry #2 for Splitcoaststampers CCC

 

This is another entry for the April CCC with the theme Evergreens.  I didn't even realize when I made it that I cold use it for that theme.  The image is from Power Poppy.  They have so many Christmas images that I love.  Quite a few of them seem to be no longer available on their website.  I'm glad I got them when I did.  The image is colored with Copic markers and the papers are from Stampin' Up.

Misc. Birthday Card

 

Just a little something to do while I was bored.  This image is from my stash.  It is listed as going in my Flowers folder in March 2010.  I have no idea where it came from.  I colored the image with Copic markers.The papers are from Stampin' Up.

I Brought the Wreath! for Splicoast CCC 2026

 

This door and girl image are from Mo's Digital Pencil.  The image i colored with Copic markers and Prismacolor Pencils.  The paper is from my stash.

Rustic Door for March Splitcoast CCC 2026

                                                                                     

  I decided to use a Mo's Digital Pencil image on a Christmas card. I absolutely loved the simplicity of this image. I then started thinking about what it would look like with a bow on the wreath. I want to enter one of them in the Splitcoast Christmas Card Challenge. I tried making an actual bow with ribbon. I could not tie it small enough.  I finally gave up and drew a bow and cut it out. I glued it on so now I will have to color another  if I decide to go bow-less. It only took a few minutes to color, though.

 

 

March CCC Front Door Decorated

 

The March Christmas Card challenge is Entry Way or Front Door Decorated.  I already had one March card done.  This is my second out of four.  

The very first design team I was on was Digi Doodle Shop either in 2911 or 2012.  This was one of the images I collected from Design Team work.  It came in rather handy for this challenge.  The image is colored with Copic markers. I used Diamond Glaze for the windows. I did one small change to the design.  There was no porch in the design, just blank space.  I decided it needed a porch so I drew the boards in. The paper is from my stash. I didn't get the sentiment placement right, but once it was stck down there was no moving it.   I tried something new, at least for me.  I put packing tape over my cardstock before I cut out the letters.  They held up much better after cutting.

Fa La La La for the Splitcoaststamper's Christmas Card Challenge April 2026

 

The above card uses two images from Mo's Digital Pencil, the door and the singer.  The singer is a PDF so I was easily able to put him in front of the door. I colored the card with Copic markers.  The paper is from my stash, or in other words who knows where I got it!

More Elves for Splitcoaststampers February Christmas Card Challenge

These should be my last two entries for the Splcoaststampers Christmas Card Challenge for February, but I found a few more images in my stash that I couldn't resist so they will be upcoming.

 

The above card is from Mo's Digital Pencil.  He's one of my favorite Christmas images.  He is colored with Copic markers.  I decided each of my elff cards would have glitter added to the fur on the hats.  This one gave me a challenge.  I put on the Stickles and let the card stand to dry.  My dear sweet cat went onto my craft desk and knocked the card face down.  Needless I had a mess of glitter on my glass mat, but a lot was missing off my card.I added some back on, but it lost some of it's smooth original look.  Oh well.

  

This image was a freebie in December for belonging to Mo's Patreon group.  He is adorable.  I also got a Peeking Santa and Peeking Reindeer. With this card the door knob took longer than the rest of the card.  I tried for about forty five minutes to cut it out with my Silhouette.  The Silhouette was not having any of it...one of those nights!  I decided to hand cut it, draw on the keyhole and use a hole punch to make the door knob.I'm not real happy with the way it turned out, but hey I probably could have spent the rest of my life trying to fix it. 

Christmas Stash (C)

This image is from Mo's digital Pencil.  I completed the Christmas Card Challenge for January at Splitcoast Stampers.  The challenge for February is Elves.  These are the first two of my elves.  I actually found ten that I liked from Mo's digital Pencil.   I need to complete four.  I will probably do more.

 

 

 

 

 

The three cards above were made with the Stampin' Up set "Frosted Gingerbread." The designer paper is from Stampin' Up, also.

 

 I am unsure of the manufacturer of this stamp.  Super easy coloring...only the scarfs.

 

 

This image is from Lily of the Valley.  It is colored with Copic markers.  The paper was from my stash.
