My Hero "Father's Day Card" by Peggy Lee

Good morning everyone, with Father's Day upon us soon in just a few

short weeks...I wanted to share with you all one of my cards.

I used a stamp set called "My Hero"!

Started with a white card base.

Stamped the airplane in chocolate ink (second generations stamping).

I also fussy cut out the images from the Skylark paper packet...

Inked all the edges with chocolate ink.

I popped up the images with tucking the banners to give

depth to the card...like the banners are flying.

As I type this blog post I remember my father who has been gone 

for  many years...I so miss him, love him more deeply!!

I try to share memories of him with my daughters, telling them stories

that he would share, songs he would sing....

I believe even though he is not with us, He Is!

Thanks for stopping in today,

hugs

Insta-Frame Magnet by Peggy Lee

Howdy peeps, it's Peggy Lee here,

to share with you all my

"Insta-Frame Magnets"

I created these for a workshop I hosted last weekend...

Inspired by Heidi Swapp, 

which I just LOVE her style!!

This first one is an ART in a frame magnet!!!

You could stamp anything inside the frame...holiday themes...or pretty art!

The second insta-frame magnet...is a Photo holder one...

We left one side open to slide a photo in!!

This is the one the ladies created and they sure did love it...

What's really awesome you could use this in a layout, in a frame to hang on wall...or 

as is a magnet to adorn your fridge!!!

Balloon Ride Thank You Card by Peggy Lee

Good morning, hope everyone had a Happy Easter!!

Over this weekend I had a paper crafting retreat where my 

crafty gals got to create this 

adorable balloon ride thank you card...

I wanted to share with  you all it too!!

"Balloon Ride Thank You Card"

We started with a standard base card.

Blue embossed paper is 1/4 smaller than card base...

Stamped the balloon onto a colonial white card stock-colored

with water colored pencils with a blending pen...

Layered with pattern paper and popped up off the blue embossed paper layer.

Last touch is distressing the edges...and add a crystal gem.

Everyone needs a thank you card....

I had so much fun with all the crafty ladies creating this weekend, then spending

a wonderful Easter Holiday with my church family & family....

Hope you all enjoyed your Holiday!!

Thanks for stopping by today,

hugs,

Best Wishes Card and Sketch using Washi Tape by Peggy Lee

Morning peeps, it's Peggy Lee here 

sharing my take on Tonya's Card Sketch....

You all can play along for more details-you can find them here.

Challenge is to use (washi tape) on your project!!

Here is my take on Tonya's Sketch..

"Best Wishes" Card

Card base is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2

I grabbed a few of my washi tape collections (which I have discovered

that I need more, yes more washi tape...)

I had a paper doily sitting on my table which I colored it 

with Distress Ink in spun sugar and a little water!!

For texture I splatted some ink watered down onto the card.

I took my center washi tape and covered a piece of paper then die cut out

a tag shape....cut out another piece of white paper to stamp 

"Best Wishes" onto popped them both up and glued a twine bow on!!

Oh embellished with a button and sequins...

There you have it my finished card...so cute!!

Thanks for stopping by and won't you play along with our 

Sketch Challenge, here.

Last Minute Christmas Cards

Happy Monday everyone!

With Christmas just around the corner, do you ever find yourself needing a card at the last minute? I do so here are a couple of last minute cards I whipped up using my scraps and washi tape...

These cards are going to be hand delivery so the size is much bigger and bulky embellishments.

Who doesn't love a tree card...this homespun feel is my favorite.

Tree Card:

Measures 4 x 9 1/4 tall

Randomly stamped the music note for background.

Stamped tree image in green ink cut out.

Glittered up the star along with brushed white paint on in places.

Added a glitter trunk 

and 

Stamped a little tag of 25 Merry Christmas!

Another quick card I created using card stock and washi tape!

That simple!!

Washi Tape Card:

Measures 4 1/4 x 5 1/2

I just layered red and white card stock for the base of the card.

Ripped strips of different washi tape

to create banners.

Stamped Merry Christmas and added a little metal flower!

Easy as that...simply but so pretty!

Hope this little inspiration of last minute Christmas Cards peeks your creative

side to give an handmade card, they really do put a smile on someones face.

Light up someones world with a handmade card done by you!!

Happy Holidays

and

Merry Christmas

It's Christmas Time...

To start our celebration here in our home, I have started to collect the

Holiday decorations, and also create some one of a kind 

home decor...

Who doesn't make Christmas Cards? 

I do make special ones for my special family and friends...

But I also love to make a few and leave them around my home in my decorations!

Here is one I've created using 

Marion Smith's new paper collections "Nirvana"!!

I love the vintage feel...earth tones...and of course touches

of trims and lace!

I just love this image of the little girl that is on 

one of the embellishment pages.

This little image could be my youngest daughter..so I knew

I wanted to use this image in my decor displays with pics 

of my girls...love it

Vintage sheet music I used to create the Rosette...

Used a Tim Holtz stencil with gesso to create the 

background.

wooden tree

OH CHRISTMAS TREE

Hi Artsy Addicts fans!

Peggy Lee here to share with you 

a little mixed media canvas.

Even though it's still November and Thanksgiving is next week.

I have already started listening to Christmas music...one of my favorites is...

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree

How lovely are Thy Branches

Love that song!!!

So with that I have been playing and creating tree theme artwork.

"OH CHRISTMAS TREE"

mixed media canvas

Using a Canvas Corp's canvas

I started by spraying some Heidi Swapp Color Shine

in Tinsel and Teal  and  Perfect Pearls Mists in many colors.

to create the background...adding texture 

with Crafters Workshop stencils 

and stucco/gesso mixture.

To create even more texture-randomly stamp all over canvas

also splatters of Color Shine and Perfect Pearls Mists!!

Cut out Tattered Leaves (Tim Holtz die) out of linen fabric...

colored with Distressed Stains in Bundled Sage and Forest moss.

Edged with Viva Precious Metal Effects Paint in Gold!

Covered the colored, stamps leaves with gel medium to give strength.

which helps shape the leaves in place.

Title "Oh Christmas Tree" hand written and backed in burlap mesh...

same burlap mesh became a tree trunk.

Tree leaves adorn with tiny real pine cones glittered with

Precious Metal Effects Paint in Gold

Garland is Canvas Corps jute rope...I love the woodies feel it gives the tree.

Thanks for stopping in today,

Please leave comments for us with what's your favorite Christmas song!!

Like what music do you listen to while creating?

Happy Holidays,

Peggy Lee

Boo Pumpkin Sign

Happy Monday morning to everyone, it's a cool brisk morning we are waiting for snow to show up any day...so with that said I wanted to create a little boo pumpkin sign for Halloween! Which it usually snows on Halloween night and the kids are adorable walking in a snow flurries!!!

Boo Pumpkin Sign

I grabbed a drink coaster and covered it with pattern paper pack I picked up a few weeks ago.

By Crate Paper 6x6 in pad DIY Shop

I so loved it for the wood grain paper that was in the pad.

I went through the pad picking out papers for the pumpkin that I cut out on my Cricut.

Then cut one of the pumpkins in quarters to create a two tone pattern paper.

Inked the edges in Distressed ink-walnut ink.

Popped them up from bottom layer to give depth.

Created some rolled paper roses out of the papers...and leaves..

Cut out tiny little banners out and used Prima alphabet Romance Novel line.

Splattered the whole sign with Perfect Pearls Mists in Heirloom Gold.

and 

Added some touches of CTMH Glitter Gel in Bronze

added some twine...done...adorable!

Paper Pumpkin Time!!!

That's right it's that time of the year...for paper pumpkins...inspired by Miranda and her G45 pumpkin projects on her blog.

http://mslibertycreations.blogspot.com/2013/09/graphic-45-petaloo-xyron-blog-hop-day-5.html

I had to create one, which I have created this paper pumpkin years ago..

it was so fun to create this little beauty.

I used some fall scrapbooking papers cut at 3/4 inch by 6

which you need 19-20 strips of paper.

I inked the edges of the papers.

Punched a hole on both ends of the strips.

Hook one edge with a big brad.

Spread out (fan out)

Using another big brad, pull up each strip

and place onto the brad

repeat.

After all the strips are hooked on the brad

fold down the brad pronges.

Form the pumpkin to how you like it.

Now the FUN part

EMBELLISHING your pumpkin

which is all up to your own style...

I cut out leaves, inked and stamped them...

cut out vines and honeycombs.

I used paper flowers I stamed and inked added some gems.

Ribbon for the stem. 

Last I cut out a doily and used a fringed burlap string

to tucked under the paper pumpkin.

whoola!!!

Hope you enjoyed!

Poster Tidings "JOY" Card

Here as promised I am sharing the other image of the Poster Tidings Stamp image that I shared last Monday using the fall stamp image.

The "joy" stamp image makes a beautiful and classic card...with using some holiday themed papers, stamps and glitter paper!!!

I took the Poster Tidings "joy" stamp dabbed into the slate ink...

over and over to give depth and texture

when stamped!

I love how the stamp image looks like real stone.

Cut out little glitter banners

out of silver glitter paper.

I just love the SPARKLE!!!!
