Have A Ice Day - Penquin Shaker











Here's another Inky Stamper card. This is the last one as their guest designer. Thank you, Chelsea, for inviting me
For a wonderful opportunity, I'm honored. When I was coloring this penguin, I just had to make a shaker card since I had some fish, Sequins, why not. I also decided to use some snowflakes because we all have caught snowflakes on our tongues. 
I wanted a different shape card. I used a circle die cut and cut only half of the circle.

HB you Sly Fox




 I have another card for Inky Stamper this week. We can't have enough masculine birthday cards on hand. I thought would be fun, if I could make the fox into a female.  Just colored her purple, added some sparkle and some eyelashes.  Wish you could see the sparkle on her tail. I used a blade to cut around his hand. Then I trim down her hand, to slide under his hand. When you're out with your gal, you want to hold her hand.

Purple fox - V00,  V01,  V04

My Sons Wedding Invitations


 This is the designed I came up for my son and his fiance. I described what I wanted and Crackerbox Stamps are amazing to work with. Wendy loves dolphins and they plan on swimming with the dolphins 🐬 on their honeymoon.   

I Stamped and heat emboss with silver Embossing powder. Then I fussy cut around the Dolphins to create the heart. Of course used a popdot to give a shadow underneath.  


This Stamp was created by:

Fox Congratulations Card

 This month I'm super excited to have been asked to be  a guest designer for InkyStamper. This company loves puns.  I often hear people are looking for ideas for masculine cards. I believe this card is a great card for many different occasions, birthday,  encouragement,  or just bc. 





I die cut 2 foxes out of white paper and one colored fox. I glued and stack them on top of one another.  Making a spinner you want to strengthen your image. 


I used lawn fawn die to make my card interactive. I placed my card front down. Then I glued the cut out down. 


I used double-sided foam tape
 I used 2 pennies and popdot between the pennies.  You want to lay the penny down, to make sure your foam tape doesn't interfere with your movement.  When using foam tape, I always use glue.  Because it allows you a little extra time to place your card perfectly. 


Copic colors:
Flags
Y11, Y13, Y15
R27, R25, R23, R22
B21, B24, B26, B28
BG 11, BG13, BG15, BG18

Fox
C0, C01, C02, C04, R20

Nuvo Drops:
Black
Crystal 

Distressed Oxide: Salvaged Patina 

Cut a strip of strip gray paper to ground the Silver fox.  This little guy moves side to side and twirls around.
