Christmas Carole by Conie Fong

Hello everyone!  Welcome to my DT post today.  I made this card for Conie Fong's monthly Facebook challenge.  If you join in the fun, you may win some gorgeous images from Conie.

This beauty is "Christmas Carole" by Conie Fong.  I coloured her with my trusty Copic markers.

I used part of Spellbinders "Grand Vaulted Cabinet" dies for the frame around the image.  I have quite a few Martha Stewart Around the Page punch sets, and I find that they work rather well on slimline cards.  Granted, you can only get three sides punched out but I still think they are fabulous.  And, I get to use some of my old punches...LOL.  

Thank you for stopping by; I truly appreciate it.  I wish you a happy day.  Hugs, Lori xx

Materials and Tools Used 

Frame:   Spellbinders "Grand Vaulted Cabinet" dies

Panda in a Mug by Sasayaki Glitter Digital Stamps

 Hi dear friends!  Happy Saturday.  There is a 2021 Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop going on now.  It ends on Friday, November 19.  I love coffee and I drink two big mugs every morning.

 I made this card using the adorable "Panda in a Cup" image by Sasayaki Glitter but, unfortunately, their etsy shop has no items listed.  It is an old image so perhaps that is why.

The image is coloured with Copic markers.  The Coffee Love Frame is an SVG file which I found in the Silhouette Design Store.  The image iscut and matted using Spellbinders "Standard Circles Large" dies.   I made the pinwheel bow and the flowers are from I Am Roses.

Thank you for stopping by.  I wish you a happy weekend.  Hugs, Lori xx

Ballerina Kitty 3 by Aurora Wings

Hello friends!  The 2021 Cat Lovers Hop is going on right now on Her Peaceful Garden.   It ends on October 30 so there is still time to join in.  So, what are you waiting for?  

I am so excited to join the Hop this time.  For my card, I have selected the gorgeous "Ballerina Kitty 3" image by Aurora Wings.  What a delightful and sweet kitty!  I coloured her up with Copics and Polychromos.  

I made my own template for the piano keys, and the black keys are raised with 3-D foam.  It took a long time to create but I am very happy with the result.  The orange flower is handmade.

Thank you for taking the time to visit and I hope to see you again.  Have a wonderful day.  Hugs, Lori xx
