Sledding with Frances Mary and Cornelius

Here's a great winter card using a wonderful winter image from Queen Kat  artist Kathy Cyr.  This fun duo is Frances Mary and Cornelius and is called Sledding.  I decided to change it up and color it pinks today and so a monotone card with pinks and black.  Isn't she adorable in that color?

Drop by the Queen Kat store and check out all of Kathy Cyr's images.  She has a whole bunch of adorable Francis Mary and Cornelius images as well as several other fun images!

Project Materials: Cardstock (Neenah, Making Memories, My Mind's Eye, Pebbles);  Buttons (JoAnns);  Die Cuts (Spellbinders Nestabilties);  Twill (Doodlebug); Colors (Copic markers); Adhesives (Pop dots, Glue All, Glue dots); 

Sledding

 Happy December everyone!  are you getting ready for Christmas?  Need I say we are just 23 days away now.  I am making some winter theme cards.  This fun image comes from Kathy Cyr and is called Sledding.  So adorable. I decided to color her up in blue and make a blue card to match.

The card is meant to stand up on the desk and will fit perfectly in a 5.5 in envelope.  Can't you just imagine this pair out and about handing out Christmas cheer to everyone?

 

Hope you will check out all the Frances Mary and Cornelius images as well as some of the gorgeous lady stamps from Kathy Cyr at the Queen Kat store!

Meet Me in the Pumpkin Patch

Here's a gorgeous witch from Queen Kat artist Kathy Cyr. It's Frances Mary and Cornelius hanging out in the pumpkin patch. I added some gorgeous die cut vines and some fun pumpkin brads to decorate this card.  I think it would be fun for Halloween or even a witchy thanksgiving.

Be sure and drop by the Queen Kat store as the new stamps for the month have been added. There's some great holiday images that are in now.

Cheers all!

Finally Friday with Kathy Cyr

Howdy folks. Emily here with another Finally Friday card.   Sorry for being a tad late posting this. It's been a hectic week in here in NE PA.  Today I have another card for you using a Kathy Cyr image.  I love this cute Christmas Morning image.

Her and her feline companion look like they are ready to dig into those presents.  She is such a fun image to work with.  You can find her in the QKD Store.

I printed off the image on Neenah White card stock and colored the image with colored pencils and OMS.  I used some Sakura Glitter Gel Pens for the presents and the decorations on the tree.  I picked some DPs from my stash from a couple Christmases ago.  The sentiment is one I have had in my stash since I first started making cards.  The image, DP, and sentiment are matted onto a nice Christmas Green and the whole thing is on an Old Olive card base.

Thanks for stopping in today to see what we have created using the wonderful images from QKD.  Have a wonderful day.

Bundled Up

Here's a wonderful image from Queen Kat artist Kathy Cyr.  This cute image is called Bundled Up.  Queen Kat is having this Christmastime in Summer fun this month, showing many brand new Christmas theme stamps so that crafters who love to make their Christmas cards can get a jump on their holiday creations.  Isn't that clever?  This artist makes the most adorable images of this cute girl and her cat, called Francis Mary and Cornelius

Be sure and check out Kathy Cyr's other stamps in both rubber stamp and digi-stamp format at the Queen Kat store.  She has a bunch of adorable Francis Mary and Cornelius stamps that are too adorable, I own several of them, my fav is called "Hello" probably closely followed by the one where they are both dressed as Ballerinas!

Bundled Up Two Ways!

It's time to think about planning ahead for Christmas and those winter birthdays!  What odd advice for July!  I want to show you two cards that I made in two very different styles using the super cute bundled up girl and her cat digital stamp by Kathy Cyr.

The first card is a bundled up birthday card, perfect for those colder weather winter birthdays.  This card features a white card with embossed happy birthday folder on shimmery white paper.  I used water color pencils (General Brand - Kimberly)  to "color" the stamp, then I made the painted look using a very fine tip brush.  With just a little patience and time you can have the look of a water color painting.  I think she has a really sweet soft look.  Rather than leaving her on the card stock she was printed on, I fussy cut around her and mounted the cut out stamp with dimensional tape.  I also used a make a wish rub on on white card stock and some pink twirly twine.

This second card looks very different!  It is Christmas in July!

The card features background patterned papers from Jillibean Soup mounted on a white card.  For the coloring on this digital stamp I used Sakura Gel pens and my Crayola colored pencils.  The sentiment was printed on white card stock and the edges inked.  I'm proud to say that I have one Christmas Card created!

Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas in July

Happy Friday everyone.  Emily here to showcase a really cute stamp by Kathy Cyr.  I love this image.  It's so sweet.

I used a new medium this time..Soft Pastels.  They worked really well for blending and shading, but just not so well on an intriquite image like this.  I used my Sakura Glitter pens to add some sparkle and shine to the card.  The CS is Colorbok and the DP is The Paper Studio.  The sentiment and little holly stickers were from my stash.   I hope that you guys enjoyed your eye candy for today.  Take a look in the store and see what new and beautiful images we have there.  Have a great weekend!

It's time for Christmas!

Well, perhaps we are not really having any Christmas time weather here in summer, but we can be making our Christmas theme cards now.  Queen Kat is releasing a bunch of new Christmas theme stamps this month including this adorable image from artist Kathy Cyr.  It's part of the Francis and Mary collection and is called Bundled up.  It will be released in early July.

I know lots of stampers who make it their goal to create a handful of Christmas cards every month so that when the holidays get here and they are so busy, they already have a wonderful selection of cards to give out.  What a nice idea.  Drop by the Queen Kat store and check out this month's release of brand new Christmas theme stamps.  I have a bunch of new cards to share too.

Girl and Bear

Here's a brand new stamp that comes in digital format from Queen Kat.  Did you know she sells digi-stamps now?  She does!  This fun image comes from artist Kathy Cyr and is called Girl and Bear.  Too cute.  Be sure and check out her other fun stamps.

Among my favorites of her are the Francis Mary and Cornelius stamp line, those stamps are wonderful.  She's one of my favs at Queen Kat.
