This card is was made with the Layers of Color "Teacup Blessings" clear art stamp set. It's still in stock but hurry before it's gone!
Happiness is ... getting a little free time to make a card with the new The Crafts Meow stamps I received in the mail yesterday!
Actually there are tons of things that make me happy but that list is too long to share here. ;D Playing in in the CR84FN Color Challenge with a new stamp set is certainly fun!
Oh my gosh... these tiny birdies from the Lovely Birds stamp set illustrated by NinaB for The Crafts Meow really make me happy! Check them out:
Dies are by Spellbinders. Birdies are stamped with Tsukineko Memento Black then colored with Copics. I've had this wide ribbon in my stash for forever and thought it was too wide for a card. I played with it anyway and I do like the results! And by the way ...Tsukineko is releasing 12 new colors in the Memento stamp ink line. Yay!
I'm off to browse around the web for CHA news and pictures! Let me know if anyone has posted any great pics of the event! ;D
How many in your life have you pulled a dandelion, puffed on it and stood grinning as the beautiful cloud floated up and away? We all did that as kids. And don't you just have to reach down, pull a dandelion and send those little white fuzzies in all directions even now ? ;D
This stamp set is called Butterfly Kisses and I think it's delightful. You can find Butterfly Kisses at The Crafts Meow. It was illustrated by NinaB.
Well, It's almost here...CHA!! I suppose we will have a lot of fun checking out the announcements and new products in the next few days! I'm really looking forward to seeing all the delicious new eye candy that will be arriving in our favorite stores!
Wish I could be there in person... hey! maybe I should go pull some dandelions...
Sighhh.... just look at this photo I found over at the For Your Inspiration challenge blog.
See the tree at the bottom right hand corner of the photo? Yeah, the one with the reddish yellow leaves. That's the tree I'd pick to sit under with a good book! How about you? ;D
Well after I finished daydreaming I was actually there... I sat down and made my card. Of course it could never be as lovely as this landscape, but that's why they call it an inspiration photo right? ;D
I pulled out some of my Verve stamps today. My Grand Caliber and Spellbinders dies got a good workout with this one. ;D My inks are all Tsukineko.
I also entered this card in a challenge I just discovered... Make My Monday. What a cute little banner they have. ;D
I probably don't need to introduce you to Little Frieda. She spent quite alot of time with most of you that love The Craft's Meow stamps.
I haven't seen her as much lately.You know what they say "she had her 15 minutes of fame!" Poor dear... she's being phased out. But the good news is you can get her on sale!
She's so very cute, I think I'll still enjoy pulling her out of my stash for a long time! ;D
When I think of roses I don’t just think of ivory, red or pink any more….these days roses seem to come in all sorts of colors. Shades of yellow,orange and last week I was in the florist shop and she even had purple roses! I was surprised to find that the orange roses (yes,orange!) were my favorite that day.
Since it wasn’t a holiday or my birthday or any other special occasion in my household…I couldn’t think of a good reason to spend $50.00 on a dozen orange roses! So as my consolation prize I went home, skipped doing the laundry and made a card with orange roses. (grin)
This card was made with Layers of Color’s Beautiful Lace set. Such a pretty set. I used my Spellbinders tag die. Tsukineko inks are a must for me, in this case I used Momento Black. This is the best ink if your plan to color with Copics.
What makes it special is the lovely, shimmery card stock! This is Cryogen white and it is wonderful esp. with copic markers. And you can get it at the PaperTemptress store. ;D But don’t stop with the Cryogen white… you’ll need some of the other great colored and textured papers that the PaperTemptress carries! I used a couple of colors from the Pop Tones line of paper, gumdrop green and tangy orange. Those color names even sound yummy. ;D
Well, beautiful crafty friends… go make a card! ;D
Welllll... I thought I'd enter the current CASE Study challenge but I got the Blogger page that says the site has moved! Am I totally nuts? I guess I'll try the link again tomorrow.
*(okie dokie...I was able to log on today ,Wednesday so I guess I was nuts! LOL)*
The challenge...Negative die cutting is a huge trend these days,and can produce some spectacular results. We challenge you to give it a try too, but whether you do or not, we can't wait to check out how this card inspired YOU!
Here’s this months muse Jen Rzasa’s card:
Here is the card I made for the challenge:
I chose to focus on the negative die cutting aspect of the challenge.
I used two sheets of the same DCWV dp and then cut my Spellbinders die shapes using my Grand Caliber. One larger than the other...then layered them with dimensional tape. My sentiment is a Layers of Color set called Dotted Dahlias. The butterfly is from the Layers of Color Flutterescent set. I used all stamping ink from Tsukineko.
This was a fun challenge... you might like to try it. ;D
I got such a kick out of this little stamp in the $1.00 bin at Michaels, that I had to buy it!
The Outlawz CAS challenge is so simple this week. We just ask that you make a CAS card using bakers twine. Hope you'll join us!
I tailored my card to fit the CAS-ual Friday challenge as well by adding scallops. ;D
The Twinery makes this blue twine and many other fun colors. My dp is Heidi Grace designs. The red scallops are from DCWV. Memento black ink from Tsukineko and copic markers.
Crazy for Challenges that is! ;D
This week's challenge is to make a monochromatic card in blues. If you'd like to sit back and admire some beautiful cards, pop over and take a look at the design team's cards Wow! So pretty.
Here is my card for this week's challenge....
Oh how I love this dp from DCWV! I'll be so sad when its all used up. I like how the little leafy scrolls mimic the bottom of the dress stand. This gorgeous stamp set is from Layers of Color. This label die the image is stamped on is by Spellbinders. The only ink pads I usually use are from Tsukineko. This sweet little dress is colored with copic markers.
Thanks for stopping in.
I love the calm, soothing colors Broni chose for the Color Throwdown this week.
She described these colors as beachy and going to the beach is a calm, soothing activity. My family enjoys Pensacola Beach year around. We don't go swimming during colder weather but it's just great being out there breathing the fresh clean air!
For this color challenge I used the Fairy Wishes stamp set from Layers of Color. They are having a huge sale by the way. I stamped my butterflies onto patterned paper using Momento ink from Tsukineko.
Hope you're keeping warm and toasty.... hmmm I think I'll go and start a fire in the fireplace right now! ;D
