Serendipity Stamps: Birdhouse Cling Set

 

Greetings!

 

My prayers and thoughts go out to everyone that is affected by the storm.  May God protect you and yours and keep you safe.  I am popping in to share a card with you that was the result of me winning a contest over at Serendipity Stamps.  I won a cool Scor Board and picked up this beautiful stamp set too.  I am really in to birdhouses for some reason.  This is a new obession so who knows what it will be months from now. :-)  Anyway, this set is called "Birdhouse Cling Set" and I must say that this is a really good quality stamp.  I love how every detail of the image came out perfectly. 

 

 

Here's my card:

 

Birdhouse Christmas

I started out with a 6x6 cardbase made using SU red cardstock.  I layered on various dp from MME 6x6 paperpack.  I matted my image on a scalloped circle Spellbinder's die.  The image was colored using Copics and I added "snow" to the leaves and around the birdhouse.  I also added Stickles and white gel pen on the edges.  I finished my card with a holly die from Marianne's as well as some crystal beads from Wild Orchid Crafts.

GDT for Eureka Stamps: Fruit of the Spirits

Greetings!

Today I am a Guest Designer over at Eureka Stamps and the challenge this week is "Buttons and Bows."  I decided to use one of their verses to create an inspirational card.  I love to give my digital stamps a break every now and then and work with sentiments.  I try to keep a nice stash of inspirational cards because you never know when you will need one.

I want to send a big THANK YOU to Joann Burton and the Eureka crew for allowing me to design with these awesome products. 

Here's my card...

Fruit of the Spirit

I created a 6x6 cardbase using SU cardstocks and designer paper.  I then used a Martha Stewart punch to cut out a band to put across the card.  I cut my sentiments and mat out using Spellbinder's Wonky Rectangle dies.  I stitched all around the card and embellished with ribbons and buttons.  Lastly, I used my Copics (YG11 and B00) to highlight the words.

I hope that you will join us for this week's challenge.  Take a trip over to Eureka Stamps and you will not be disappointed.  They have several different products for whatever your needs are including sentiments.

Whimsy Stamp Inspiration

Greetings!

Today I want to share with you a card I made for Whimsy Stamps review day and I don't think I ever shared it here.  It may very well be the first Christmas card that I have created this year.

Lia_ Presents

I started out with 6x6 Kraft cardstock and layered on some two-sided dp.  I used my ink pad to color the edges of the cardstock.  I layered on some squiggly curls around the edge of the cardstock and popped up the words "Merry Christmas" that I cut on my Cricut.  I colored my presents image using Copics and the diecut tree is from Marianne Dies (thanks Kim).  I used Stickles to decorate the tree as well as Copic Spica pens. 

You can get this image and the other fun releases this month from Whimsy Stamps (digitals).

ADFD: Lady Hat Bow

Greetings!

I hope your Thursday is going great!  I have a card I would like to share with you using ADFD's "Lady Hat Bow."  I believe I mentioned before how much I love hats; however, I don't wear them because my head is too big. lol  I will be entering this card in the ADFD's "Pop It" challenge.  I used 3D dots to pop my flowers as well as pop the dps behind my image to make room for the tag to slide in and out.

Here's my creation...



Hattitude
 

I started my card out with a 6x6 Kraft card base and layered on some pink cardstock.  I then added a layer of dp.  I used 3D pop dots to lift my 4x6 strip of cardstock with dp off the card a little to add my tag.  I used my Spellbinder's die to cut out a circle.  I also used the fancy frame diecut from Spellbinder's to mat my image.  I cut the tag out using my Sizzix tag diecut (haven't pulled that out in a while).  I colored this beauty using Copic markers R81, R83, E41, E42, E40 for hat and clothes; E25, E27 and E29 for her hair.   I finished my creation by popping some flowers and leaves in the corner as wel as added gems around the frame of the image.

ADFD: A special flower (For You)

Greetings!

Happy Tuesday!  I am popping in to share with you a card I made using ADFD's "A Special Flower." 

Here's my creation...

For You

I started out with a 6x6 cardbase using purple cardstock.  I layered on a sheet of purple polka dot 6x6 dp (trimmed) and a strip of flower dp.  I corned the opposite ends of my card and dp using my CTMH corner rounder.  I then used Spellbinder's die to cut a purple mat and to cut my image.  I colored my image using V93, V95, V99 (dress); E21, E25, E27 and YG11 Copics.  I colored the flowers with a white gel pen and gel pen for the center.  I added my crocheted flower with a pearl in the middle embellishment to finish off my card.

Fall Wheelbarrow

Greetings!

Happy Monday!  Wishing you a speedy yet productive week!

I have done several Fall cards and I can't seem to get enough of them.  This particular card was created using Karen's Doodles "Fall Wheelbarrow."  I really enjoyed coloring this image (especially the corn).

Here's my creation...

Karen's Doodles "Fall Wheelbarrow"

 

I really enjoyed creating this card.  I didn't have any plans for the layout, but really wanted to focus on coloring the image.  I started out with a 6x6 Kraft paper card based and added SU Orange and green cardstock.  I used Copics YR12, YR16, YR02 (pumpkins), G82, G40 (leaves), E40, E41, E43, E50, E51, E53 (barrow and ground), YR23(corn husk), and I finished the corn with gel pens.  I added Cheery Lynne flourish and some beads for embellishments.  I finished the card by using a white gel pen to add faux stichting around my card.

Mo's Lil Sailor: Sail On!

Greetings!

Happy Sunday everyone!  This past week has sailed on bye and today I was playing with another Mo image.  I purchased the Sailor set and if you recall I entered one of them in the last challenge.  Well, I couldn't stop coloring these cuties, so today I bring you another one just for the fun of it!

Here's my creation...

Sail On

I started this card out with a 6x6 Kraft cardbase.  I layered on light blue cardstock, dps and SU ribbon.  I colored the image using Copics light blues, yellows and greens.  I also used some browns for the boat and sand.  I added crackle glaze to the "water" to add some texture.  I used my Spellbinder's dies to cut out the brackets over and under the picture.  I finished the card off by adding a tag using SU punch and buttons.

7 Kids Challenge: Orange and Black

Greetings!

Happy Saturday!  I hope that you have a productive day.  I am sharing with you today a card I made for 7 Kids College Fund Challenge and their theme is orange and black.  I decided to join this challenge this week for two reasons 1).  My e-buddy Kim (who designs for 7 Kids) told me to and 2). these are my High School colors!  lol 

I knew the rules were to use an image that 7 Kids carries and while I had purchased goodies from 7 Kids, I wasn't sure if I had a stamp.  Lo and behold, Kim sent me a Magnolia Tilda & Wiola stamp a while ago that I loved (and 7 Kids carries) so I used it to make my card.  So to say "thank you" again   I call this creation "NY State of Mind," (Kim's from New York).

Here's my creation...



NY State of Mind
 

I started out with a 6x6 scalloped cardbase, layered on orange cardstock and then dp.  I cut out a NY skyline on my Cricut and traced the edges using a white gel pen to make it stand out.  I should have cut out a shadow layer, but didn't think of that until the Cricut was unplugged and turn off.  Hate when that happens!  Anyways, I layered on a piece of orange ribbon and then added my image.  I colored her up using Copics and Spica pens for some glitter.  I love the way it all turned out.  I added in the first picture a bracelet that is from Baubles by Bri.  Bri has some gorgeous bracelets in her Etsy store.  You should check them out.  (Also, Bri has a famous mom...Paulette who owns Create with TLC and is always so generous with her goodies.)  Make sure you stop bye and visit them both!  You will not be sorry. :-)

Okay, this is my first 7 Kids Challenge and I hope that I did it and Kim justice.  I loved playing with  rubberstamps again.  It's been a while...

ENABLER ALERT: Chelsea Le Designs - Cammy in the Wind

Greetings!

Okay, I must warn you that this blog contains a tempting image that you may or may not want to purchase.  Please continue reading (and looking) only if you will not hold me accountable for future purchases based on what you see. lol

I love finding new artists (new:  I've never purchased or seen thier work).  I really love artist that create images that challenge my creativity.  The designs that Chelsea Le creates are just those type of images.  She makes these gorgeous little ladies over at her Etsy shop Pretty Little Stamps.  I recently recieved an email from I Brake for Stamps and they now carry her!  Soooo, you can get these gorgeous images in digi or rubber!!  I noticed she offers more designs over at I Brake for Stamps.  (Note:  I do not recieve any type of compensation for promoting these stores.  I just really like these images. *smile*)

Well, today I used "Cammy in the Wind."  I intially chose this image because 1). it is simply adorable and 2).  I thought her name was Candy. LOL!  How very vain and self-centered am I, right?  (don't answer that)

Here's my creation...

Blown Away

http://paperplaychallenges.blogspot.com/
Well, recently I was asked what cardmaking "style" do I most identify with or like?  The only way that I can answer that question is that it depends on the image.  The image dictates my style and that is always changing so my style is always changing.  I do not gravitate to just one style.  I love them all...it's the Gemini in me that makes me so indecisive. lol

I started this card out using a 6x6 Kraft cardbase.  I actually colored up the image a week before assembling the card.  I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with her and once I colored her I was committed to this peach/baby blue color scheme.  I hunted through my stash and pulled out this 2sided dp and thought it would work perfectly.  I assembled the card layering cardstock and dp. I used my Tonic Tool to distress the ends of the papers and added white gel and Stickles to the edges. I applied SU ink to the edges and sponged it over the dp for a vintage look.  I used Copics to color the image and added Stickles to her dress and flowers.  The image and the mat were cut out using Spellbinders dies.  I finished the card by adding pearls in the corners, flourishes (using Cheery Lynn dies) and flowers from my stash.  The leaves were from a Marianne Dies set.

She blew me away when I saw her and the other cuties that Chelsea offers.  I will definitely have to pick up a few more. lol

Mo's DP2 Challenge: Is brought to you by the letter "B"

Greetings!

Yay, it's Thursday!  Grey's Night as well as Scandal.  I am so addicted to these shows.  Grey's is starting off pretty slow and boring, but Scandal is making up for it. lol  Well, my creation today is a bit scandolous.  teehee No, not really.  I love this image from Mo, because my neice when she was a baby took a similar picture.  She hates that I have it on display on my shelf in the livingroom.  I told her that when she gets her first boyfriend (when she is 40 and she is now 8), I will share it with him. :-)  I love being a tee-tee.

Anyways, this week Mo's DTs are asking for creations using images that begin wih the letter "B for this challenge."  Well, easy-peasy I say...easy-peasy.

Here's my creation...

No Butts about it...

I started this card out with a "bib" shaped scalloped card base.  I layered on Kraft cardstock that I cut out using my Spellbinder's eyelet circle diecut and matted my image on top using Spellbinder's circle diecut.  I colored this precious image using Copics.  I finished it off with a bow and went around the edges of the card with a white gel pen.  Easy-peasy!

Whimsy Inspiration Challenge: Sparkle

Greetings!

It's that time of the month and over at Whimsy Stamps Inspiration Challenge we want to see you sparkle!  Yep, bring on the bling, glitter, Stickles, stardust, and anything else you have in your stash that shines. 

I chose to work with Stamp Art Design by Kathryne cute "Frosty Friends."  Before I show you my creation using this fun image, I must apologize because the Snowman lost his frosty friend in a terrible scissor accident.  Never cut out an image and watch the Voice at the same time.

Here's my creation...

Snowman's eyes

I decided to make a "Snowman's eyes" gift set.  I had several of those little plastic containers and I filled them with dark chocolate covered yogurt raisins.  Mmmm...these things are yummy and good for you.  I thought they looked like snowman's eyes.  I colored my image using Copics and added Stickles around the snowman's face to make him shine.  I didn't stop there with the bling, because I used my Copic Spica pens to add sparkle to his hat and scarf.  You probably can't see it well, but believe me when I tell you this little guy shines.  I also added some snow to his nose using Snow Writer and some more Stickles.  I finished this guy off with ribbon and a bling gem on his scarf.

Cuddly Buddly - Pachela Studios "Little Star: Piece of Cake"

Greetings!

Happy Tuesday!  I hope your day is going well.  I took the day off from work (not to play) so that I could get my mudroom completely cleaned out and begin the renovations to make it into a pantry/laundry room.  I hope this great plan that resides in my head manifest into a reality - quickly and inexpensively. lol  I am taking a break from cleaning to share with you  a card I made that I think would be perfect for a little girl's birthday.  I love color.  The brighter the better (sometimes).  I decided to go all out on this card so if bright colors bother you - put on your shades. :-)

Here's my card...

Have a mice day!

I started out with a 6x6 scalloped white cardbase.  I layered on some SU cardstock and yummy, glittery, bright dp.  I used the Spellbinder's eyelet die with yellow cardstock to mat my image.  My image was colored using Copics and I accented it with gel pens and glaze.

ADFD: Club Kit Challenge

Greetings!

Happy Tuesday!  Today I want to share with you a card that is out of the norm for me.  I wanted to enter ADFD's Club Kit challenge and the rules was to create a card with neutral colors and one other color.  The Club Kit is this awesome tribute to silent black and white films.  I love it!! 

I chose an ADFD image from my stash and colored her up.  I must say I was pleasantly surprised at how easy and quickly this card came together.

Here's my creation...

One of a Kind

I started out with a Kraft card based.  I layered on a sheet of dp from Glitz "Pretty in Pink" 6x6 paperpack.  I then matted my image to blue cardstock.  I colored my image using Copics.  I thought it would be fun to use two different neutral colors on her hair.  I then added my "other color" blue to her eyes using a Copic Spica pen.  However, that wasn't enough for me so I added just a drop of glaze to her eyes which made them literally pop.  I don't think you can see on the picture, but her eyes enlarged when I put the gel on them.  I finished the card with a brown/white striped ribbon/bow.  I also added a sentiment.

ADFD Challenge: Tweet Music

Greetings!

I am back again with another post.  Over at ADFD they are having an "Anything Goes" challenge (with freebies).  I haven't participated in one of their challenges for a while and saw this cute little bird image and decided to go for it!  As a DT alumni of ADFD, I have always enjoyed working with these images, but just don't get the opportunity to do so often. 

Here's my creation...

"Tweet Music"

I started out with a 6x6 scalloped cardbase and layered on strips of dp.  I used Spellbinder's Wonky Rectangle dies to cut out a mat and my image.  The bird has sheet music on its wings, but I added the music notes under his feet (instead of the branch).  I added a couple of notes that I cut out using a Sizzix diecut.  I added crackle glaze to the bird's wing and the music notes for dimension.  I colored the bird using Copics.  Lastly, I added blue bling from my stash.

Tammy's Scrapin Corner Challenge #31: Friendship

Greetings!

Happy Monday and Columbus Day!  Today is bitter sweet for me because this will be my last challenge over at Tammy's Scrapin Corner challenge as part of the Design Team.  I  have enjoyed working with the awesome designers at TSC and look forward to seeing them in the blogosphere.  Today I dedicate this card to all the wonderful DTs at TSC (past and present).  This week's challenge theme is "Friendship."

We have 2 generous sponsors for this challenge and they are Digi Darla and Bugaboo. I actually decided to use the Digi Darla "Birds Hearts wreath" image for my creation.

Here's my creation...

Best Friends

I colored the image up a couple weeks before I put the card together.  I really didn't know what type of layout I was going to use.  My good e-buddy Kim Bell sent me some yummy diecuts to play with so I pulled them out, along with 6x6 paper, some Wild Orchid flowers and went to town. I really like how the card turned out.

I hope you join me for TSC challenge this week!

Mo's DP2 Challenge #155: Anything Goes

Greetings!

Happy Sunday!  I am sharing with you a card I created using one of Mo's "Sailor boys" images.  I am usually inspired by a lot of things and this card was inspired actually by the sentiment I created.  I searched for an image that would compliment it well and I believe this image perfect!  I am entering this card in the Mo's DP2 Anything Goes challenge.

Here's my card...

Sailor Boy

I used SU red cardstock to make my 6x6 cardbase.  I layered on some dp and using my Cricut I cut out the fancy little diecut.  I actually had cut this out months ago, but finally got to use it.  I used Spellbinder's square diecuts to mat and cut out my image.  I colored my little guy using Copics and used a white gel pen to add accents.  I printed off my sentiment and cut it out using Spellbinders die.  I added some red and silver dots and ribbon to finish it off.

Cuddly Buddly - Pachela Studios "Exciting News"

Greetings!

Happy Saturday!  Yep, it is official Winter is back from its vacation here in Michigan.  Wowzer it turned brrrr quick!  My sinuses have been going bonkers yesterday and today.  The upside to the cold weather is that I don't want to be outside-so more time indoors to create!  I'm always trying to find the silver lining. :-)
Today, I want to share with you one of the most A-dorable little images that I've had the pleasure of playing with.  Actually, I think that all of the Cuddly Buddly - Pachela Studios images are adorable.  I used "Exciting News" today to create my card.  I had this little cutie and a few more PS images for a while and have recently been trying to pull them out and use them.  If you have never visited the Cuddly Buddly store, you should because they have a lot of talented artist and items. 

Here's my creation...

"You've Got Mail"

I started this card out with a 6x6 scalloped card base.  I layered on SU cardstock and CTMH dp.  I had some brownish-copper netting that I layered and a diecut leaf that I outlined using Gold Stickles.  I cut my circles out using Spellbinder's eyelet and circle dies.  I added a handwritten sentiment and went around the card with a white gel pen to add faux stitching.  Lastly, the image was colored using Copics.  I colored the squirrel and popped him on top of the colored background.  I wanted him to really stand out.  I know it is a lot of colors, but they are all FALL colors so I think it works. :-)

Birdie Brown's Freebie Challenge

Happy Friday!  I can't tell you how excited I am that the weekend is here.  It's been a long week.  I started my exercise program back up and boy am I feeling it. lol  Today I want to share with you a card I made using the adorable image from Torico over at Birdie Brown.  Torico is so generous that she gives away a freebie monthly and then allows us to enter them in her awesome challenge.  I couldn't wait to color this little guy up using some yummy Fall colors.

Here's my creation...

I started out with a 6x6 scallop cardstock based.  I layered on some SU Chocolate chip cardstock and then some dp from 6x6 pad.  I then had some extra dp leftover from another project and it had some cool Fall colors so I layered that on as well.  I used my Spellbinder's Wonky Rectangle diecuts to cut out the mat, dp and image.  I then added a little sentiment tab and a leaf.  I love the colors and now that I look at my card it could totally be a male card, don't you think?

TAWS: Happy Birthday!

Greetings!

I am popping back in today to share with you a card that I did for the TAWS (The Alley Way Stamps) Inspirational Challenge.  I haven't had a chance to play in these for a bit, but had an idea brewing in my head for a while and thought now is a good chance to "just do it!"

Here's my inspiration...

 Here's my creation...

I just loved the colors and decided to use thier Tannebaum Trees freebie to make a pendant.  Ialso added the "happy birthday" sentiment to finish it off.  It is a very simple card; however, I think the colors make it really pop.  I went over the heart, dots, and inside of the letters with a gel pen to make them stand out.

You can check out the inspirational challenge here.
