GVT - Sketch


What's up Tuesday! Come and join us for our Garden Variety Tuesday Challenge over at The Greeting Farm.


It's sketch time! This one is from the talented Annie Rose.


Here is my card using CC Tuesday Premiere. She may look a little different, she went and got her hurr did! LOL. Growing up playing with Barbie's, I never could leave their long and luscious hair alone, I would always chop it off. I guess some habits never die, hehehe. I gave her a cute little trim or she could have it in a loose bun =) Anywhoo, she's all fancied up for a party.


The image is colored with my Copics and glittered with my Stickles. Come over to the TGF Blog and play along, you just might win!


GOOD LUCK!!

MyStyleStamps - "Let's Rock & Roll"


Hi guys, hope everyone is having a beautiful Sunday. I currently am a new Designer for MyStyleStamps. This is a New Release "Sock Hop". To find out it's official release date, head on over to the MyStylesStamp Blog.


Isn't she a cutie! This set has a 1950's theme. Her whole outfit is paper pieced. The only Copic coloring I did was her hair and skin. I added some glitter accents with Stickles Star Dust. There's a border strip in the stamp set that I used in the background. I stamped a mini record three times to add little accents at the top of the card. "Let's Rock & Roll" is one of the six sentiments included.


Here's a quick little video of my card.


Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

FFF - Punches and/or Dies


Happy Farm Fresh Friday!


Today's challenge is to use Punches and/or Dies. I chose to use Dies from the Mini Clouds w/Die (cloud) and Film & Polaroid Die Set (heart). The houses and the sentiment are from the Dreamy Kit. The paper I used is from DCWV Sunday Afternoon. I love this paper stack!


The little hearts on the houses are colored with a Copic marker and covered in Xmas Red Stickles, gotta have the glitter. I'm sure everyone has either punches or dies in their arsenal of scrap supplies, so come on over to the TGF Blog and play along with us!

GOOD LUCK!!

Retro Fresh Challenge - Cupcakes & Sprinkles


Hey guys, I'm hosting the Retro Fresh Challenge over at The Greeting Farm this month. Check it out, the theme is CUPCAKES & SPRINKLES! Yummers!

Here is my card using Birthday Anya II, Delicate Words Die Set, Film & Polaroid Die Set and the Tulip Border. I was inspired to make this gigantic cupcake (card size of course) by my friend Gina. It's is a coffee sleeve and just a circle insert. How easy was that?! I just decorated it with a doily for icing and some pattern paper for trim. Anya is colored with Copics and also paper pieced. I added some polka dots to her skirt with a marker. 

I wanted to mimic the heart cherry on top of the cupcake on the Anya image, so I used the heart from the Film & Polaroid Die Set. The heart was too pointy, so I just did a minor trim to round out the edge of the point at the bottom. 


I hope you like the theme I chose. Come and play along over at the TGF Blog, you just might win!

GOOD LUCK!!

GVT - Pink/Blue & Kraft


Happy Tuesday!


Here is today's color GVT Challenge over at The Greeting Farm:

Kraft/Pink/Blue


I used WS Charlotte Chic and the Film & Polaroid Die Set for this card. The die set comes with three dies, I used all them (film strip, Polaroid frame, heart). I love the dotting technique that I used to color her hair with my Copics. Her outfit is paper pieced. You might recognize the doily in the background, I used it on a previous card w/Cheeky Lessons. It's by far my favorite doily die. You might see it again in another project LOL.


Inside the Polaroid frame, I place some vellum in the inner square and laid the heart die cut in the center. The filmstrip die was cut from kraft paper. To finish the card, I added some pearls and a wood Polaroid veneer.

I loved playing with this color combo. Give it a try and enter to win over at the TGF Blog.

GOOD LUCK!!

FFF - Red, White & Blue w/Ribbon


Happy Fourth of July!! In celebration of this holiday, our Farm Fresh Friday theme is Red/White & Blue and Ribbon.


Here is my card using Cheeky Lessons and the TGF Fence Die from The Greeting Farm. I colored her with my Copics and added some polka dots with my gel pen. The fence is embossed with tiny stars.


Across the top of the card is half a doily and a banner made from book text paper. I added some star die cuts that I colored with my blue Copic marker. I traced an outline of the star with a black fine point marker, added some faux stitching and some rhinestones.

Last I added a black satin ribbon with a heart button w/blue & white twine and also the word "Party". I think my card turned out very festive. Hope you guys give this challenge a try over at the TGF Blog.

GOOD LUCK!!

July IAR Challenge - Featured Flower


Hey guys, I have another post for you today. Here I am sharing my project that I made for the July Challenge over at the I Am Roses Challenge Blog.

Here is the tag I made.



The featured flowers are the new Lilies (LY). Aren't they gorgeous. If you want to win some, head on over to the I Am Roses Challenge Blog for more details on this month's challenge.



I finally gave in and got a Prima Dolls Stamp by Julie Nutting. I also used the coordinating Tag set. On the background of the tag, I sprayed some Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays in the colors Plumeria Pink and Creme Brulee Cream. The image of the girl is colored with my Copics and I paper pieced her entire outfit. One requirement of the challenge is to use vellum, here instead of using designer paper, I used vellum for my doily die. The paper collection I used is from DCWV the Primrose Collection.


I made a cluster of the lilies, added some stamens and used seam binding for the ribbon up top. I had a leaf and mini butterflies punches by Martha Stewart and I used vellum for that also.


At the bottom of the card is another cluster of lilies, stamens and vellum leaves. Underneath it all are some two toned maple leaves. Added some die cuts and pearls to finish off the tag.

This was fun to make and the lilies are to die for! Come join us and enter to win the new Lilies!

GOOD LUCK!!
