squirrely art: April 2015
http://squirrelyart.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 12, 2015. This month the card sketch over at PaperArtistsOnline is more of a technique challenge. Using splashes and splats of ink or paint. So I got out my Stampin Up Gorgeous Grunge set that hasn't seen much use since I got it a couple months ago. I stamped the various splotches and splats using Distress Inks and spritzing with water. I like how it turned out and am ready to try more! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Campbell, CA, United States. View my complete profile. CZ Design CZ Design.

squirrely art: February 2015

Saturday, February 21, 2015. Here are a couple birthday cards I made recently for some guys. I find it harder to make cards for the guys than I go for females, and I don't have too many stamps that are more masculine in nature. I have been looking at some of Laura Bassen's. Work, using overlapping colors and I came up with this idea with the PaperTrey Ink set; LIVE LOVE LIFE. She does some great clean and simple cards and I've been enjoying her posts and videos. Thanks for dropping by! Stamp Company, thi...

Monday, August 17, 2015. Here's a fun way to mix up using your embossing folders. Emboss just one section, then turn around and emboss the other section leaving an un-embossed area in the center for sentiments or images. I just added a few die cuts and sequins to complete the card. Saturday, August 15, 2015. A quick background piece of cardstock, mat the image and tie some twine. Stamp your sentiment and you're done!

Friday, May 29, 2015. Just got some new stamps and dies from PaperTrey Ink. Called Craft Brew. Love the glasses and all the fun labels to create. These are the first cards I've made, using cards from the designers as my inspiration. I'm looking forward to these sets for making more masculine cards for my stash. I need to search my stamps for an orange slice so I can make a Blue Moon! The foam on the Porter is made with felt! I'm pretty sure that's a Deschutes. Black Butte Porter in that glass.

Wednesday, January 28, 2015. I was in need of a baby card, and don't currently have any baby stamps. So I saw something like this on Pinterest and figured I could make it a baby card. Inside I stamped Welcome, which was from a Stamps of Life set and then added BABY in pink with some alphabet stamps. PS the Mom who got this card thought it was the cutest card ever - love when the appreciate my work! Friday, January 16, 2015. Friends With Flair - Unity Stamps. Thanks for stopping by!

squirrely art: Scrapbooking Yellowstone
http://squirrelyart.blogspot.com/2015/08/scrapbooking-yellowstone.html
Monday, August 10, 2015. I was determined to get our big trip to Yellowstone completed before September rolled around and a year had passed. Yippee, it's done! It was so fun to go back and do these, and thank goodness I had decided to make a travel journal and wrote in it each night. This way I had the notes to refresh my memories and some memorabilia saved! These are just a few of the highlights - it was such a fantastic trip. Mark and I are determined to go back again.

squirrely art: Embossing Paste Backgrounds
http://squirrelyart.blogspot.com/2015/08/embossing-paste-backgrounds.html
Friday, August 07, 2015. This is pretty fun to do - color your embossing paste with Distress Ink! Or I suppose any ink you have will work. I made three colors of red and then applied them to cardstock through a stencil! The cute owl and saying are from Unity Stamp Company. I won it a couple weeks ago on a blog hop. This set and a few more, they are most generous with prizes. Love them! This is also made for their Friends With Flair! Such a cute card,love the owl.xxx. Cute card, cute owl, cute design!

Friday, December 19, 2014. Pop Up Box Card. I needed a fun way to package up some gift cards and money for gifts this Christmas so I've been busy making different boxes and cards. This Pop-up box card is cool in that it lays totally flat for mailing if need be. You can find directions for it all over the interweb, here's one good tutorial. It's a set of stamps and matching dies. So it makes quick work of cutting out the snowflakes. Thanks for dropping by, and I hope you have a very Merry Christmas!

Thursday, June 04, 2015. Today I tried some water-coloring for the 30 day coloring challenge. I heat embossed the otter with Versamark and white embossing powder then water colors from the Koi Watercolor set were used to color the cute guy! Inside the sentiment reads "to my significant otter" - hee hee. I'm using this for Unity Stamps Friends With Flair. Tuesday, June 02, 2015. Ever trying to improve upon my Copic coloring skills I tried a few things I learned along the blog hop. Thanks for dropping by!
