Old & New Creations & Treasures

The Conie Fong Art & Design Group FB challenge this month allows both new and old creations with Conie’s wonderful images. I made a Birthday Card using the Butterfly Princess digi, plus am entering two of my favorite cards made with Conie Fong digis during 2019: Bella with Gift (originally posted HERE) and Snowy the Penguin (originally posted HERE. Check out the original posts to get details and see the inside of the Bella card. It is a beauty!) I used a boxed card as my base. It is from a set that I found at Goodwill last year. I love the variety of fronts, and I helped the inside sentiment to match the digi on the front my printing an extra butterfly. (I did just notice that I need to add the antennae to that little critter!) I am entering the Butterfly Princess card into several other challenges including the Outlawz Saturday Challenge (butterflies make me happy, and during this cold and windy flu season, butterflies mean Spring… which I’m already longing to see!) and the Butterfly Challenge (My card includes all three colors: Riffle Green/Raspberry/Rajah-light orange, and all three themes: Butterfly, Ribbon-tied into a bow, and Raised Up-foam tape beneath the bow and then oval that holds the cute digi. I added a photo so show this.) 

(Note- I’m only entering Bella and Snowy cards in the Conie Fong challenge as they have been previously posted on my blog so they wouldn’t qualify for any other challenges.)

My final entry into Di’s Digi Stamps current Challenge features one of Di’s sweet digis named “Three Chilly Polar Bears.” I wanted to make them really stand out, so they take center stage on a Bridge fold card. (I love that these cards are so easy to make yet are fun to send because I know that they are often displayed. Especially when I send them to my 96-year-old MIL. She loves sharing cards on the shelf outside of her room at the assisted living facility where she now lives… and those that stand by themselves are her favorite. So I am thinking she will love this one!)

Supplies: 

·    Digi- Di’s Digi (Three Chilly Polar Bears )

·    Sentiment- Imagine That Freebie Digi Set “Jenn & Friends” (No longer available)

·    Colored with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·    Assorted background papers from my stash

One of my new years resolutions is to make a few Christmas cards a month in order to build a stash for this year's holidays. I’ve always loved this cute Azadi Earles image, which is one of the first stamps I ever bought. It was in the late 90’s so it is a wood-mount stamp. I’ve downsized my collection of these space taking wood mounts, but this one has survived my annual cuts, mainly because he was one of my mom’s favorites. She loved to color and loves cute critters, so this image won in both of those categories.

Supplies: 

·    Sheep Wood Mount Stamp- Azadi Earles (Company no longer in business)

·    Inside Sentiments- Computer Generated

·    White Liquid Applique on the hat- (Available from several places, if you check the web.)

·    Stamped on grey parchment cardstock- available from most office supply stores.

·    Assorted background papers from my stash
