I love to add many layers to cards and this one has several. I used designer papers on the left a right side of the card base and placed them vertically. Leave just a small frame of the dark green card so you can see the color.  The two vertical pieces in red were cut out of the designer paper and glued almost to the bottom of the card. The butterfly was stamped and colored with markers then the sentiment was added cut from a punch.

 I have really missed stamping scenes! This one was done on shinny paper and I used chalk inks to color with. This type of technique makes me feel like I am paining a canvas.  I think the moon light reflected in the water turned out really well!

You could stamp any type of flowers then color it to match  the designer paper you have on hand. There are so many beautiful new paper designs in the new catty!

WINGS AND PRETTY THINGS!!!

This is a variety of cards for you today that I found as a surprise on my computer this morning! Sometimes I save card photos and they just disappear! Like magic this bunch of cards were there when I opened my computer this morning! I have a computer Ghost that plays tricks on me so that I can get frustrated and feel silly! HA!  The butterfly was colored on photo paper! I like using photo paper for a different look but you have to experiment as to which markers, and inks will work best. The photo paper grabs the ink quickly and it is difficult to blend, so you need a oily based ink or pencil for best results.  I have found some oil based colored pencils from Japan and I just love them, and they work on a variety of card stock. I like to use the chalk ink pads,(small diamond shaped) and I apply them straight from the container, then blend with a medium.

This card uses a magazine picture for the background in the window, It had lots of grass and flowers on it, so I cut it out and placed it behind the window die cut. The little blue bird was a sticker. 

This bird is a stampin up stamp and very flexible to use on  many designs! The embossed white paper gives it another texture and I like using several on one card. 

This is another stamping up set and it is a blast to color. I made a larger card and you can really get the full design on one this size.  

This card is so beautiful in person and my picture is not a good one, but it was colored with copics and then placed under the die cut frame.  

This is a special fold that I  added just for your fun thing to try this week. It takes a full sheet of card stock to cut from. 

I love to design scenes and this is on shinny paper and colored with the oil based inks, and chalk inks. 

This butterfly is a stampin up die cut and the fold is avery easy one that really adds to the look of the card by using double sided paper. Have some fun stamping this week send me pictures to share! debsegler@gmail.com 

Little Girls With Nanny!

I found this sweet picture of my little girls at Christmas and just had to share the wonderful little blessings in my life!  They have all changed so much and their little personalities have gotten even better! Thanks Lord for the special gifts of Love you give us! 

Today I am posting a variety of cards to just give you some inspiration and ideas! This die cut card was designed by my stamp friend Debbie! We love to use die cuts and we have great therapy sessions when we get together to stamp and fellowship! We often spend part of the time laughing, sharing about our lives and getting our praise on! The card has an inside pocket to drop a note or gift card inside. 

This card was such a fun one to make and I love special folds for my cards. The card has flaps so that the card opens up like a box top. There are several flaps inside to decorate and a place to leave a great note to someone special. 

 This flower card was designed by Betty she loves the color green and we used an embossing folder to make the base of the card. The flower was placed on the top of the ribbon and the bright colors really worked together!

Tangling on cards is so very relaxing and this card was done using a stamp. The fun of stamping and then tangling inside is a great way to combine techniques. 

Children stamped and colored with copic markers, Then placed on bright designer papers. 

Birds and flowers stamped and colored with markers and colored pencils. Then cut out with die and placed on card front .  The new stampin up catty will be ready to order from June first. I you want to have a catalogue please email me debsegler@gmail.com 

Happy Stamping! 

Spring Cleaning!

 

 Hello my stamping friends! Its time to clean out for Spring! I am cleaning out my store room of 5 years! And it has been very emotional for me, I have realized that I saved these things for the memories more than the items themselves! I found BIG DADDYS golf bag and had to touch it and try to feel his tender loving spirit and support of our family! HE MADE US ALL FEEL SAFE AND STONG LIKE HIM!  Then a box that had spilled out left black and pink wire hair rollers, that I used to fix my Mothers all white hair. It was a once a week for church thing and it was a time to visit and catch up! We often came to my house to to fix her hair and have meal and so it turned into a good long visit and fun time together! Kyle & Rusty reminisced over golf stuff and helped me to load my clothes racks so I can redo my closet! I had to go get in the truck to hide my tears, and as I tell you this again today I still have had some tears to run down my cheeks! But I am realizing the blessings that we had with all of our family members that are now with Jesus! This die cut card is very beautiful in person! Debbie cut the shapes out for Lorna and I and brought us this wonderful design. The windows show the solid pink on the inside, the little bling dots added a perfect touch to the outside. The flowers card was colored with colored pencils and splash of washi tape runs across the bottom of the card. The design is piped up on top of the card base and allows the cores to show on the to and bottom of the card.  

Hello butterfly card is a pre cut card that came in an older 

stampin up kit. I stamped and colored the butterfly, added the bling and it maDE A VERY PRETTY CARD!  The new stampin up catty will be out soon and there is a large retirement list. Please let me know what you want to order before they are all gone! debsegler@gmail.com 

Rainy Day Therapy!

Have you ever had so many blessings in one week that you  are just giddy! Well that happens to me often and this week was no exception! First we traveled to Portals New Mexico to see our oldest son Tres Segler become the new head Coach of Eastern New Mexico University! Please go to you tube and see his press conference.  We are so proud and excited to have been a part of this wonderful new journey in their lives! He was the former assistant at Mid Western University, and they are leaving some wonderful friends behind! I know that they will form a new extended family and many will be blessed by this move! Next I got to keep Kyle and Ashley's sweet little Landry that is four months! She is just the easy going laid back little love of our lives! She is smiling and talking all of the time and I can not help being so amazed as I watch Poppie who is smitten by her! 

My cards today are to get you some free inspiration and rainy day therapy! Lots of rain here in Little Elm on the pond. Water is overflowing the banks and running up the street!  This first card has been cut with a stampin up edge die and I love the look of the two colors and shadow effect! The white background has been dry embossed and edge cut as well. The flowers and have been stamped and punched then colored with sponge to paper. The edge of the card is covered with pink satin ribbon. I will be happy to order these supplies for you debsegler@gmail.com.  

The layered card is one of my favorite designs ever! Love the look of the images matching up and it brings back my days of sewing were we worked so  hard to match the stripes and designs. The design is stamped all on one piece of white and then cut apart so that you can match the design on each layer with the next one. You do not have to match in a straight line mix it up and down matching for a great new look! 

 This little fairy card was designed by my friend Betty and it was very fun to make while we enjoyed our stamp friends company! The base was die cut then we used a stencil to add color with a sponge. The fairy was a rented image we fussy cut and added on the top. We then used wink of stella and liquid bling!

The cute little bird was a stampin up die cut and we double cut his head and added it on top to give the bird dimension. The brick is a stampin up embossing folder that has been iced with white ink on brown card stock. We colored the flowers with colored pencils, and cut the branch and leaves with a die cut! Thanks for the great comments on my projects and I am wishing you some fun therapy!
