Crazy Dogs by Tim Holtz, a birthday card for a special friend

Hi

My friend and I often craft together, each inspiring the other in different ways.

We both really like these new stamps by Stampers Anonymous so I felt it was appropriate to make this years card using them.

I decided to keep the colours quite muted, so chose light brown shades for the dogs,  and for the mat and the shadows of the die cuts. All dies are by Sizzix .

I am pleased to tell you that she really loved the card (phew!).

Cute Crazy Dog Christmas card

Hello

I would like to show you a Christmas card which features the little scottie crazy dog stamp by Tim Holtz.

The dog was stamped then coloured with Promarkers before adding the hat.

I cut out this panel with a Crealies die, matted it onto mirror card and added to the card which I had covered with patterned paper and ribbon.

I stamped the hat and parcel using Tim Holtz  Crazy things stamps then cut out and coloured before adding to the card.

I tried another colour combination which is below.  I am not sure which one I prefer, what about you?

I have more Christmas cards to show you soon

Crazy Dog card for my 'keep fit' friend

Hi

My friend is a keep fit addict - not something I can claim to be.

This is a card I made for her birthday using the Crazy Dog stamps by Tim Holtz from Stampers Anonymous.

The background is quite plain as you can see - it is simply dark blue card which has been die cut using a Tim Holtz Mixed Media die from Sizzix.

The dog was stamped and cut out before colouring with Promarkers,  as were the balls and lead.  I printed the sentiment on my computer.  Hope she likes this, and I hope you do too.

All for now

Combining Crazy Dogs and Bird stamps again

Hi everyone

Here I would like to show you another card which uses both the bird and dog crazy stamps from Tim Holtz  by Stampers Anonymous.

I created the background using distress inks and randomly stamping with foliage and rain drops. 

Then , as I did in my last post, stamped the bird onto shrink plastic, coloured it in before shrinking.

 I think this gives a bird which is just the right size to sit on the dog's head.

Combining Crazy Dogs and Crazy Birds - A belated Birthday Card

Hi

As I have both the Crazy Dog stamps and Crazy Bird stamps, by Stampers Anonymous,  I was looking for a way I could combine them  and here is what I came up with.

I created the background with Brusho crystals,  I printed the sentiment on my computer and the branches are from a die set by Sue Wilson.

I stamped the doggy image, then cut it out and coloured it with Promarkers.  The bird was stamped onto shrink plastic then cut out and coloured with Promarkers before shrinking with a heat gun.

I am happy with the result,  hope it gives you some ideas.

All for now

A golf themed card for my husband

Hi
It will soon be my husband’s birthday.

He plays golf often so I thought I would make him a card using the golf die I have from Joanna Sheen :

I wanted a different colour scheme, so chose purple and navy, which I used for the tree, background, golfer and the grass (the grass and the tree were cut from Tim Holtz Mixed Media dies)

Can you spot the little crazy dog which I stamped onto shrink plastic and coloured before shrinking it.

A colourful card using the Crazy Dog stamps by Tim Holtz

Hi


Well, I have more Crazy Dog cards to show you starting with this one:-

The background was a piece I had coloured by spritzing with Brusho crystals which I had diluted in water and put into spray bottles (just red and yellow).

The Crazy Dog was stamped, cut out and coloured with Promarkers before adding a hand drawn skirt and hat from the Crazy things stamps. 

I finished with balloons, sequins and a sentiment which I printed on my computer.

Hope you like it and that this gives you fresh ideas for your stamps.

All for now

Pat
