Sniffles

Unfortunately, it's "sick" season, so you can never have too many 'get well cards' on hand. This little guy from Mo Manning would cheer someone up. I think he's adorable. I colored him up with Copics. The chandelier garland can be found here.

 

Tea Time

Would it totally shock you if I didn't post a Christmas card this close to the holiday? ;) I like to sell some of my cards and it's past time selling Christmas, so I made a general themed one. Thought it'd be sweet for a birthday or thinking of you.

I chose Joyful Tilda and colored her up with Copics. The big white rose can be found here. I added some cheesecloth and other embellishments I had on hand. Then I glittered the flowers with Stickles.

 

Copic List:

Skin-E31, 11, 00, 000, RV11, 00, 000

Hair-E47, 71, 33

Good Morning, Everyone! Happy Tuesday! One week until Christmas...unreal!

This week at Digital Tuesday Challenge, we'd like to see layers. My digital element is the font. Prize: Crafts and Me-3 digis. I don't know the supplies used because I borrowed from my SIL. :)

 

Brother and Sister

Hello all,

The clock is ticking...Christmas is a-comin'! :)

I made a small card that would be perfect for attaching to a gift. The image is Sister & Brother from Magnolia. I used my Cuttlebug to cut out the circular shapes. The bling is from BasicGrey and the twine is from My Mind's Eye. The paper is from my scraps, so I'm not sure where to direct you on that.

 

The following is a list of the Copics I used to color the image:

Hair: E57, 33, 31

Skin: E11, 00, 000, 02

Red: R37, 39

Yellow: Y28, 26, 04

Turquois: BG75, 49, 15, 10

Shirt: W3, 00

Rubber Buggy Challenge

Welcome to the 2nd official challenge here at The Rubber Buggy.

We will be offering the winner a Gift Certificate from The Rubber Buggy.

We'd love to see your holiday themed cards using non-traditional colors in conjunction with traditional colors.  So pull out all the stops and show us what you have created.

I created a Christmas card seal using a snowflake image from Magnolia. The red paper is also from that company.  I colored in the snowflake with Copic 110 Special Black (thus the non-traditional) and added some Stickles.

Cocco Tag

Wow, can you even believe how fast Christmas is approaching? Yikes!!! I have everything done except stocking stuffers.

Made a quick tag using Cocco with Present.  I just placed the tag over another piece of paper and thus created this look. I love how it turned out. Used Copics to color.

Thank you for visiting,

Cocco with Present

Busy, busy, busy!!! That's what it is around here...I'm sure you are, too. Thanks for taking the time to check us out.

I chose to use a simple layout with not very many embellishments. Used the spotted coloring technique with my Copics.  The cute bear image comes from Magnolia and is called Cocco with Present.

Thank you for visiting,

Joyful Tilda

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! Anyone venture out for Black Friday?

Now that Christmas will be quickly approaching, it's time to kick it in gear and get those cards made. This one took on a vintage flair (I seem to be doing that a lot lately). The paper comes from Magnolia as does Joyful Tilda. The flowers and twine came from my stash. Copic markers were used in the coloring.

Thank you for visiting,

Brother and Sister

I just knew I had to have this brother and sister image from Magnolia. It reminds me of my children (except sister is taller than brother right now).  This image is another versatile one...love those! I made it into a Christmas card because I thought it'd be perfect for grandparents from both of them. You could use it for many occasions.

Nurse Tilda

Hi again! I have another card using the Nurse Tilda stamp from Magnolia. This image is such an easy color and who can have too many nurse cards on hand?! Especially, when there are several in the family and some you go to church with. Plus, it would make a great get well card. Love images that are versatile!

There really was no rhyme or reason to making this card. I just sliced up papers and stuck them! LOL! How's that for creativity? ;) I love the vintage flair it has.

Peachy Tilda

Wow! Is it ever crazy around here. I've been packing all week because we're fixing to move to WV! This is a quick move, so I've been on the go. I'm seriously 'bout to fall asleep sitting here typing, so if it doesn't make sense, there's my excuse! LOL 

This card was kept fairly simple in the layout. I also kept the coloring minimal. I think it allows the image to speak for itself. This is such a sweet one!  It's called Peachy Tilda and perfect for lots of different occasions!

Picking Peaches Tilda

Happy Saturday, Everyone! Don't ya just love them? It's my "get out of the house" day. 

Not too much to say today...just a cutie Tilda to share with you.  This image is a lot of fun to color, but I kind of have that thinking toward the Magnolia images. I think that's one reason why they're so popular.

Nurse Tilda

Happy Weekend!! Anyone headed out to do something fallish? Have a favorite fall treat? Pulling out the fall wardrobe? I love this time of year. We visited West Virginia last weekend and it was a gorgeous drive. 

 

For this card I used the Nurse Tilda from Magnolia. With nurses in my family, I knew it was a must for my collection. It is a quick one to color and perfect for birthdays, thank you, and appreciation week. The rest of the products were pulled from my stash.

Digital Tuesday Challenge

Yikes! I actually had my card done early, but I guess it helps to post it. LOL

 

The theme at Digital Tuesday Challenge is "warm & fuzzy." (It's a warm day and the twine is fuzzy...how's that for interpretation)? :) Our sponsor is Bugaboo Stamps  (7 IMAGES!!!!!) and the image I used is from there. So cute and so easy to color.
