Create with TLC: "Oh Deer Winter is here" candle holders

Greetings!

Brrr...it is cold and it has been a while since my last post.  Life has taken over and mix in the holidays and I've been going non-stop.  One of the things that I have been doing is learning how to work with vinyl.  Oh boy, has it been a blast.  My project that I am sharing with you today is the results of my first try at working with vinyl. 

I used some awesome wordart from Create with TLC combined with some svg deer I found online and came up with some wonderful Christmas gifts for my friends.

Here's my project...

Oh Deer

Oh Deer Winter is Here candle holders

I used my Cameo to cut out the wordart from Create with TLC. I was really nervous, because it was my first time cutting vinyl and boy is this stuff expensive. I was very pleased to discover that it cut perfect on the first try and I love how the lettering turned out. I added some silhouettes of different deers that I had recieved with a svg packet. The glass jars came from the local Dollar store as well as the candles. After applying the vinyl, I sprayed some protective spray over the vinyl. It is made by Kryolan who makes several different paint products.

 

I will be linking these up to the Show It Off Sunday over at Create with TLC and these will end up as gifts for my friends.  I am now working on transferring pictures to tiles.  The possibilities are endless, but the time to accomplish it all isn't. *smile*

 

OH yeah!  Paulette has also been working with vinyl and wordart.  Check out this gorgeous canvas that she is giving away to one lucky winner here!  (fingers crossed it is me-lol)

Create with TLC: Color my world FANTASTIC!

Greetings!

I hope that your Saturday has been productive!  I started out the day shopping wich is such a treat, because I finally found some brown sandals at DSW.  I had a certain style in my head and refused to settle for anything less.  I also got a 40% discount so I am happy as can be. :-)  After shopping I stopped by my mom's house to check up on her.  She had told my sister that I must have met a guy because I hadn't been by to see her. lol  I assured her that she would be the first (possibly the second) to know if I met someone.

Well, enough jibber-jabber I am here to show a card I created to thank my sister for designing me a logo.  She is a Graphic Artist and so I wanted to make her an artsy themed card.  I once again called on Paulette over at Create with TLC to create a wordart set for me to use.  She graciously took on the challenge and I am so glad that she did.  She is so sweet. 

Anyway, here's my card...

Mo's Jacqui

I designed the easle card on my Cameo.  I used Kraft cardstock to cut it out and matted using black Bazzill cardstock. 

I colored the image using Copic markers.  I use E11, E13 and E21 for her skin and E25, E27, and E29 for her hair.  I also used C1, C3, B00, B000, E50,E51, E53, E49, and BV02 to color the other items. 

Here's one of the sentiments from Paulette's new Art and Color TLCreations set.  I used my Copic markers to color in the letters that spell Fantastic.  Isn't that a fun font?! 

You can pick this set up and many others from the Create with TLC store.  I can think of so many images from so many different artist that would go perfect with this set.  I am playing around with an opportunity for some blog candy give-a-way involving this set and possibly some other goodies so stay tuned to see how that plays out.

Create with TLC: Roman Fashion Vintage Collage

Greetings!

I hope your Monday is going well.  I am popping in with a card I designed using my Cameo for a vintage collage image from Create with TLC.  I like how this card turned out and will be using this design on future cards.  I have an entire list of sympathy cards that I need to make (unfortnately), a couple of birthday cards and a mother's day card (I know, I said Mother's Day).  I would go out and buy these cards, but the recipients wouldn't be happy with me. 

Well, here's my card using TLC's Roman Fashion Vintage collage image.

True Beauty

I love the how elegant this lady is in the collage.  She screams feminine beauty.  I didn't want to add a lot of color to her so I just used E41, E42 and E43 copic markers to color her dress and umbrella.  The card base, I must admit, was inspired by a card that Heartfelt Creations showed in a card class that was taught at the Megameet Scrapbooking event.  I looked at it and thought I wanted to recreate it using my Silhouette.  I like how it turned out.  The picture in the lower right corner is the front of the card.  The sentiment was aslo created by Paulette for another image I was going to use, but it works perfectly with this one, I think.  :-)

You pick this image up in the Create with TLC store.
