It's All About the Peeps!

Good morning!  Did you think I meant the edible Peeps?  LOL  I see the Easter ones are in the stores...do any of you like them?

It has been awhile since I've played along with Bellariffic Friday, but I had a bit of free time today so I combined the sketch with some other challenges.  I've been in a bit of a funk lately, but I like how this one turned out!

The Peeps are colored with pencils and their eyes are dotted with a black gel pen.  I did some paper piecing with the cup and added a big dose of glitter to the heart (love that sparkle!).  For embellishing, I kept it simple; a felt flower/leaves and some Swarovski flatbacks.

Creative Card Crew Challenge: Snow Day

(Sneak peek and detail shot of glitter and crystals.)

Good morning and Happy New Year!  With the arrival of the holiday season, I noticed a lot of challenge blogs were taking a break, which is good as it gives us more time to enjoy our families and the festivities.  That said, I am happy to be back in the swing of things and get a routine going again!  Anyone else feel that way?

With the new year comes a new challenge from the Creative Card Crew...Snow Day!  I really love this theme...to me it means snow, snowflakes, and glitter...I love it all!  Our sponsor for this challenge is Simon Says Stamp, a great online store that has a huge variety of stamping goodies.  Play along for a chance to win some of those goodies for yourself!

I choose a stamp set from The Cat's Pajamas that had been begging to get inked....  Isn't the bunny the cutest?  The image is colored with pencils, cut out with a Spellbinder's die, and accented with glitter.  I went for the subtle stuff...just wanted to add a hint of sparkle so I applied it to random snowballs, not all of them....  I also used a die from TCP, called Snowflake Lace Paper.  It is really cool since you can use both the positive and negative shapes; if you are into snowflakes like I am, this die is a "must" for your collection!  I embellished the card with some ribbon, a button, and some Swarovski flatback crystals; I like the contrast of the "homey" button with the "fancy" crystals.

Paper: PTI Stamper's Select, SU! Soft Suede, Carolee's Creations DP

TMS...on a Saturday!

Good morning! I'm a bit late with my card for this week; I've had it done for a couple of days, but have been unable to upload to Blogger. The sketch shows some lovely swirls, but I just couldn't make them work...adhered and tore them off twice, so this one is super clean and simple. I really love the Penny Black quotes so that is the focal point of my card. I did a bit of distressing, added some rayon ribbon, and a button topped with a crystal.

Sentiment: Penny Black
Paper: PTI Fine Linen, Bo Bunny DP
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Embellies: SU! Pear Pizzazz Rayon Ribbon, PTI Button, Swarovski Flatback Crystal in "Olivine"

Halloween Kitty

Good Sunday morning! I received the cutest Mo Manning image from my S.S. and when I realized the month was coming to an end, I decided I better get busy! I have to admit I was a bit intimidated to color the image, but I like how it turned out.

The image is colored with Prismas and the mask is accented with fine glitter...it adds a nice, soft sparkle. I used a circle punch to remove a portion of the corner so my button would fit, then popped the image up. I layered a couple of buttons and used some Swarovki flatbacks for a bit of extra sparkle.

For The Mom-To-Be....

Good Friday morning! I was asked to make a card for a baby shower...the mom-to-be is expecting twins! I made 3 cards total; will share the others later. With my first card, I wanted to focus on the mom-to-be. I thought of this cute A Muse stamp that is perfect for paper piecing. I paired it with some DP I've had in my stash for a long time (love the pretty paisley!), added some punched flowers and Swarovski crystals to give it a bit of extra sparkle. Inside the card is a white panel that reads:

Expecting JOY...

Stella and Her Broomstick

Good morning and "Happy Friday"...Bellarific Friday, that is! The challenge for this week was Halloween, so I decided to go with Stella. This cute stamp was sitting in my stash uninked, so she needed a bit of love....

Stella is colored with pencils and accented with glitter...of course, I didn't forget her lipstick; I am thinking she loves it as much as I do! LOL I'm really not sure why I came up with the crazy idea to cut her out, but as soon as I started I was doubting my judgement...it took me forever! I used a bunch of diecuts and some Swarovski flatbacks to finish the card.

More Halloween....

Good morning! I have been in a bit of a creative funk lately...I just havn't felt like stamping. I play around on the computer looking for ideas and sit at my table, but I just don't get anything accomplished. When I saw this cute card of Wanda's, I just knew I had to play along with the challenge. I even used the same sketch she did.... I also loved the way Kathleen placed her bats on this card, so I had to give that a try too.... Thanks for the inspiration ladies!

I used my My Mind's Eye Mischievous paper pad...love that paper! I love how they added a subtle touch of blue...so unexpected! I took my cue from the paper and colored Fluffles orange and accented her hat with blue. I used a liberal dose of glitter...let's just face it...glitter makes me feel good! LOL I don't mind the mess and I didn't even care when I looked down and my lap was covered with it.... I also used a lot of diecuts on this card...Spellbinder's, Martha Stewart, MFT Die-namics...I like that they are fast and easy. I felt like I needed a bit more blue to pull everything together with the blue card base, so I added a few Swarovski flatbacks.

Here's a close up of the diecuts and yummy glitter.

"Hey Chickie" Revision

Good morning! As I was making my TMS card this week, I was thinking I could utilize another coordinating DP by turning it into a square card...there would also be more room to write a message inside.

I simply added a square card base, distressed DP, some ribbon, and another felt flower diecut. This one is my favorite...which one do you like better?

Good Tuesday morning! It's time for another fun challenge at the Tuesday Morning Sketches blog.... We have a unique twist this week...a circular card. I have to admit, I have only made a couple of these....

I've been a Halloween-a-thon (as my blogging friend Amy would say) so I continued with that theme and pulled out one of the Calendar Chicks. She's so darn cute with her little treat bag! I colored her with Prismas and added a bit of glitter. I did some distressing, added a die cut flower and some Swarovski flatback crystals to finish it off.

Bellarific Friday

Good morning and happy Friday! Today's challenge on Blogabella was animals, along with patterned paper. As I was looking through my stamps, I came across Butch and Mimi and knew they would be perfect!

After choosing my DP, I decided to leave my image uncolored...I like the way it mimics the black/cream in the DP. I added just a bit of color (along with some glitter!) to their bows...just for fun! I added a bit of PTI Raspberry Fizz to the mix along with a felt flower and vine diecut.

Good Tuesday morning! We have another fun sketch this week, which was drawn by Jessica! Like I said, it's a fun sketch, but I was a bit stumped at first.... Finally I decided I could showcase some pretty DP and little "trinkets".... The stamping was kept to a minimum on this card...just the sentiment.

I bought some of the new Basic Grey "Out of Print" DP on my last trip to Archiver's. What a great line; it's funky, eclectic, and the colors are fabulous! I chose a couple of patterns, added some vellum circles and filled them with assorted embellies. This card reminds me a bit of the 80's with the pink and black color scheme.

Sentiment: SU!

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black

Paper: SU! Blushing Bride, PTI True Black, Basic Grey DP, The Paper Studio Vellum

Embellies: Making Memories Charms, Pink Button (my stash), Swarovski Flatback Crystals in "Lt. Rose", SU! Black Grosgrain Ribbon

Extras: Spellbinder's Nestabilities, Die-namics Rolled Rose Die, MFT Felt, DMC Floss

Here's a link to the Tuesday Morning Sketches blog so you can check out the sketch for yourself and see all the goodies the DT has created. I hope you will play along too!

Shabby Wedding Chicks

Good morning! I've got a shabby, colorful wedding card to share today. I used the sketch from SCS and a fun mix of DP. The image is colored with pencils and accented with a black gel pen and glitter the edges of the papers are inked. I used the PTI doily edger die and the largest of the MFT mini rolled rose dies. (I will have to post pictures of all the sizes, there are 4; the little ones are so dainty and cute.)

Image: Stampendous Calendar Chicks "Wedding Chicks"

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, PTI Chai and Chamomile, Sakura Black Gel Pen

Embellies: Doodlebug Glitter, Swarovski Flatback Crystal (AB), Black Grosgrain Ribbon (my stash)

Extras: Prismas/Goo Gone, PTI Doily Edger Die, MFT Mini Rolled Rose Die, Spellbinder's Nestabilities, The Paper Studio Sticky Doos

I thought this was a fun sketch; while making this card I thought of a few variations so I might have to try them out too....

Today my oldest turns 13! I may compile a few pictures to post later....

Good morning! I have a card using MFT's Wednesday Sketch Challenge to share. I had about 3 different plans going until I finally got started...then I had to flip the image panel to make it work. Now, if I would have thought of that right away, I could have stuck with plan 1! LOL

I stamped and colored the image on Kraft CS; I found that it is a bit harder to blend, but it works. Her dress is paper pieced and her crown is coated with Distress Stickles. I sponged the edges of the DP and embellished with a felt flower, leafy vine and some Swarovskis.

Paper: PTI Kraft and True Black, Fancy Pants Designs DP

June Sketch For You To Try

Hi there! I am cutting the deadline really close with this card...I made it by about 3 hours! Good grief; I have had the whole month of June! It's a great sketch, so I'm glad I got to use it.... Stamping Bella is the June sponsor for Jen del Muro's SFYTT, and I just received some goodies last week, so I had to use this cute, little Peep! Isn't she just a doll in her snazzy, red raingear?

It took forever for me to pick out a paper combo...does anybody else ever have that problem? I finally decided on some October Afternoon DP from various pads. The little Peep is colored with pencils and her umbrella was paper pieced. I embellished with some lacy black trim, a red felt rose and some Swarovski crystals.

Image: Stamping Bella "Umbrella PEEP"

Paper: SU! Real Red, PTI True Black, October Afternoon DP

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Sakura Black Gel Pen

Embellies: Black Ribbon (my stash), Swarovski Flatback Crystals in "Topaz"

Extras: Prismas/Goo Gone, Spellbinder's Nestabilities, MFT Die-namics Rolled Rose Die, The Cat's Pajamas CutUp Die (leaves), The Paper Studio Sticky Doos

Here's a photo of the card I was about to upload. Something just wasn't right, and I decided that the black strip was just too wimpy. I removed some of the embellies, added a thicker strip over the first strip, replaced the embellies and voila'! Much better! Still somewhat lacey,but more substantial to ground the rose.

Thanks for stopping by!

MFTWSC22: Cesare Pavese

Hello! I just had to give the MFT sketch another try.... I switched gears this time and went for a bit of a shabby-chic look. This DP from 7 Gypsies is one of my favorites; love the versatility of all the colors. I used vellum panels so you could still see the pattern; the corners are held in place with crystals which also frame the sentiment panel.

Here's a detail shot with the flower. I was thinking a had a leafy vine die, but I guess I don't. Anyway I found this leaf die while looking through my PTI dies. It's a bit different from the one I usually use, so it was fun for a change of pace.

Do you see how you can see the DP through the ribbon? I fixed that by cutting a strip of yellow paper just a hair narrower than the ribbon and adhered it first. It's an easy trick, try it!

Sentiment: MFT Clearly Sentimental About Parents

Ink: PTI Smokey Shadow

Paper: PTI Smokey Shadow, 7 Gypsies DP, The Paper Studio Vellum

Embellies: PTI Lemon Tart Satin Ribbon, Gray Grosgrain Ribbon (my stash), Swarovski Flatback Crystals in "Black Diamond"

Extras: Spellbinder's Nestabilities, MFT Die-namics Rolled Rose and Scalloped Border Dies, MFT Felt (green), PTI Leaf Die, PTI Raspberry Fizz Felt

That's all for now; enjoy your Monday!

TMS#96

Good Tuesday morning! I hope you enjoyed your Memorial Day holiday and were able to spend some time with your loved ones. My Dad is a veteran, so he was in a parade...he has been every year for as long as I can remember. I always get tears in my eyes as he marches by.... Thanks to all veterans who have served; and thanks to those who serve their country now.

As you know, Tuesdays mean another sketch from Melissa at Tuesday Morning Sketches. I tell you...her sketches have stumped me lately! I decided to go with a clean and simple approach this week. I used some DP from the girls' paperie (one of my new favorite companies...love the vintage flair), some sponging, and simple embellishing. The sentiment is stamped on vellum, then adhered to the paper. I got out the supplies to make my own flower embellie, but then remembered these Prima roses in my stash...I thought the size was perfect.

Sentiment: Stampabilities

Ink: Palette Burnt Umber

Paper: PTI Fine Linen, the girls' paperie DP, The Paper Studio Vellum

Embellies: PTI Dark Chocolate Twill, Prima Rose, Swarovski Flatback Crystals in "Smoked Topaz"

Tips and Tricks:

Often you can see the adhesive when using vellum, so I like to use small embellishments in the corners of my project to cover it. I simply place a tiny dot of adhesive between the paper and vellum, then add another tiny dot to the top and cover it with my embellie.

I can't wait to see what the rest of the DT has done with this tricky sketch! I hope you will visit the Tuesday Morning Sketches blog to check them out too!

Thanks for stopping by today!
