Stamp Act

My Favorite Things WSC ~ Happy Easter....

Hi!

I hope you had a great weekend!  Yesterday, the weather was dreary so I had a chance to make a card based on MFT's Wednesday sketch challenge!  I have also added a whole lot more stamps for sale HERE!  I am still pricing a few but should be done shortly.  Here is the sketch ~

Here is my card ~

The base of this card is Vintage Cream with a mat of Early Espresso and then Kraft CS that I embossed using the new SU! tulip folder.    I then added a strip of SU! DP {from their Vintage Spring Collection} and across the top a strip of May Arts lace topped with a bow made from Baja Breeze seam binding.  The darling PI image {from My Basket of Eggs set}, was stamped on Vintage Cream CS using Black Memento ink.  I then cut the image out using my Oval Nesties, Sponged a little Crumb Cake ink while the die was still in place and then colored using my Copics {E00, E11,E50, E33, E53, E55, E57, E59, B000, B91, B95, G82, YG03,Y02, YR04, R20 and BV00}.  I matted the image with a scalloped oval cut from Early Espresso CS.  The sentiment is also included in the set and was stamped on Vintage Cream using Early Espresso ink, cut out and stitched on the left side using cream twine. 

Here is a closer look at the image ~

I accented her shoes with little pearls, added some clear glitter on the eggs and the hearts and then added some whisps of grass using a Moss Prismacolor Pencil.

That will do it for me today!  Have a great day!

Friends Brighten Your Day....

Hi!

I have a couple MFT challenge cards to share with you today.  The first one is based on THIS weeks sketch and the second is based on LAST weeks sketch.

I had mentioned before that I was cleaning my craft room, well, it's amazing the things you find!  I have a huge amount of OLD Chatterbox paper that I don't use but haven't been able to part with.   Luckily I didn't part with it as there were some patterns I have that worked perfectly for a frame I made for my daughter's friend!  I will share that with you tomorrow but really, my point is that I ran across the stamp set I used on today's card that I forgot I had!  I haven't used it in years so it was like using a NEW stamp set!!! LOLOL!!! I guess there is 1 thing good about cleaning!!!   Here is my card ~

The base of this card is True Black with a mat of textured Going Gray and then True Black again.  The pink polka dot DP is from MME Tickled Pink Fine and Dandy Collection and the yellow flower paper is from Echo Park's Walk in the Park Collection and then the cloud paper is from MME True Blue Fine and Dandy Collection.  The image is from MFT and is called Rain or Shine.  I stamped the image once on Select White CS and a second time on Going Gray.  I cut the Select White image out using my oval Nesties and then colored it using my Copics (E00, E11, E50, E55, E57, E59, BG10 and B41).  I added some Dazzling Diamonds glitter to the puddle using my Quickie glue pen.  I used my SU! scallop border punch to layer the yellow and Select White, added a Basic Grey yellow button and tied the Friends sentiment on using Rose floss.  The Friends sentiment is actually part of a sentence and since I didn't have room for a sentence on the front, I just inked up the Friends part using Black Memento ink, stamped it on Select White CS and punched it out using my Martha Stewart tag punch.  Here is a closer look at the image ~

I added the rest of the sentiment on the inside of the card ~

 

The following is a card I made for a friend who recently had surgery and as I said before, it is based on last weeks MFT sketch ~

 

The base of this card is Select White with a mat of Pure Poppy and then one of the darling heart patterns included in Bo Bunny's Crazy Love Collection.  I stamped the sweet Better get Better Pure Innocence image on Select White using Black Memento ink and then cut it out using my Lacey Circle Nesties.  I colored the image using Copics, matted with a Early Espresso circle and added Pure Poppy ribbon.  I tied the sentiment on using a brown button and red and white bakers floss.

That will do it for me today!  I have a list of things to get done so I better get with it!  Have a great day and thank you for stopping by!

My Favorite Things WSC ~ Mommy's Little Angel....

Hello!

Happy Sunday!  I hope your weekend has been great!  My card today is based on My Favorite Things Wednesday Stamp Club sketch #2 (AKA ~ MFTWSC2).

The decorative paper is again from Webster's Pages Wonderfall/Hollywood Vogue Collection.  I really like these papers!  My card base is Baja Breeze with a mat of Vintage Cream.   The next Vintage Cream panel was embossed using my SU! Victorian Wallpaper folder and matted with Early Espresso CS.  The sweet image is from MFT's Pure Innocence line and is called Little Angel.  I stamped her one time on Select White CS, cut her out.  Stamped again on the Blue DP (dress) and cut that out.  I then stamped one more time on the off white panel.  I colored her and pieced her dress on her and then added White Liquid Pearls on the buttons, shoes and around her collar.  I REALLY need to practice coloring skin with the Copics...Oh well, she looks VERY fair, almost pink!!! LOLOL!!! 

I cut the side circle from the same DP using my Lacey Circle Nesties, added the ribbon and finally the little tag that I stamped the sentiment, also included in the set, using Early Espresso ink.

That's all for now!  I hope you have a wonderful day!

Crazy 4 Challenges (C4C69) ~ You Warm My Heart...

Oh yippee, we are supposed to get snow again?!?!  What the heck??? LOL  Oh well, I guess I can just stay in and play with my stamps!!!

Today's Crazy challenge is a color challenge!  Our Crazy girl Maria has tasked us with this awesome challenge!!!  Use the colors in this beautiful picture for your inspiration ~

Here is my card ~

The layout of this card is based on My Favorite Things new Wednesday Stamp Club challenge which is now going to be sketches!  I love sketches.  Makes my life much easier!  Anyway, MFT had a big sale after Christmas so I ordered the Grow Love set that I had been looking at for a long time.  The sentiment is not in the Grow Love set but is from the Pure Innocence Snow Day set. 

The base of my card is Dark Chocolate with a mat of Select White.  The decorative paper is from Bo Bunny's Crazy Love collection.  The top large layered scallops were cut using MFT's Jumbo Scallop die.  The tree was pieced with 2 different patterns and then adhered to another pattern that I cute using my oval Nesties.  The buttons are from PTI and the string is white floss.
