Glitter, Stencils, and Stickers!

Hello, my name is Angie and I am addicted to outline stickers!  I don't use them as often as I should considering the number of them that I've accumulated.  I recently got a couple sets of stickers that were little garden fairies and rushed home to do something with them.  I decided since they are fairies, coloring them on glitter was the way to go.  I covered some paper with ScorTape, burnished on some glitter, added a few stickers, and got to coloring.

After that, I couldn't decide what to do with them.  So they sat on my desk for a couple of weeks while I figured it out.  Then when I watched on of Darlene's recent videos, I was inspired.  (See her video here.)  I loved the card layout and thought these girls would look great on a hill of their own!

I didn't put any sentiments on so they could be used for whatever.  There was a ton of die cutting involved, some distress inks, colic airbrushing, embossing paste, ad lots of time, but I love this little set of blank cards.

I'm playing along with the following challenges:

Purple Bunny Shaped Card

I'm working on some cards for Farmhouse Memories this weekend.  Here's one of my favorites so far...

Not the greatest pic but not too bad for having practically no light ;)  The little image is by Wild Rose Studio and actually says Happy Birthday with a little mouse in the tree.  I masked that part of the stamp when I stamped it so I could use it for a different card.  The ribbon was colored using the darkest copic marker that I used on the purple in the image.  It's cute... I may not be able to part with it!

For the inside, I stamped a border that coordinates with the dies (like I did on the front of the card) and added a sentiment sticker from SRM.

Ball of Cuteness

Wow!  It's been almost two weeks since I've posted.  I can't believe how time has flown by these last couple of weeks.  I've been busy making some samples for a local store, Farmhouse Memories, with some adorable little stamps that she's starting to stock.  I thought I'd finally do a post to share a couple of them...

I started off small, by making this little gift tag:

I stamped the Stampabilities House Mouse Make a Wish 2 image, colored it with my copics then used a mid-sized Spellbinders rectangle to cut it out.  I rounded the corners with my corner chomper.  I attached the image to the scalloped rectangle (also cut from a Spellbinders die) with foam tape and added a little line of sparkly stickers from Starform.  I added an eyelet to the upper left corner and finished it off with some green ribbon.

The second one I'm sharing with you, I'll also be throwing into MarkerPop's latest challenge #15...

The theme is perfect for valentine's day (or just a love themed card), which I thought was perfect for this stamp:

For this one, I used Stampabilities House Mouse Close Knit Friendship.  Colored it with a few light R Copics.  I used a Spellbinders die to cut out the image and also the Lacey Circle that it was matted on.  Then I used some sewing floss to crochet around the edges - I would have used yarn, but apparently in my massive stash, I have no pink!  The sentiment is from Variety Pack 2 by Words to the Rescue.  The inside goes on to say, "One fabulous couple.  Happy Anniversary."

Happy New Year!

Is your new year off to a good start?  After having some of the in-laws in town for the holidays, I finally had some time to get up to my craft room and have a little fun.

I recently got this adorable stamp at my local scrapbooking store and was itching to color it up.  Here it is:

After coloring the main image with my copics and cutting it into the wonky rectangle,  I stamped it again on some masking paper.  It took me quite some time to get it cut out with all of those little blades of grass, but it was finally cut out so I masked my coloring, added a few cloud die cuts from the same masking paper and airbrushed the sky.  I airbrushed it with a blue copic marker then after removing the cloud masks, decided it needed a little bit of gray, it is raining after all.

I matted it on a larger wonky rectangle, then adhered that to a standard size card that I clear embossed with that amazing background stamp.  To finish it off, I colored a piece of white seam binding with the darkest copic from the flower and added that to the side.  Such a cute mouse!

Thanks for stopping by!

Swiss Pixies Frame Card

Today I wanted to play with one of my Swiss Pixies stamps from CC Designs.  I love coloring them in! 

I stamped Gretel on some white card stock and colored her in with Copics.  I based the colors of her outfit based on a piece of paper I wanted to use for the frame from Basic Grey's PB&J paper pad, but when I cut the frame from the paper, I just wasn't happy with it, so I found another piece from the same collection and was much happier with it.

I'm entering this into the latest All That Scraps Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes.and MarkerPop's Fur/Hair coloring challenge:

Color Splashed Congrats

I'm playing along with a few challenges today - feels like it's been ages since I've made cards for a challenge! Here are the challenges I'm playing along with (click on the images to go to the challenge websites):

I was so excited to participate in a couple of challenges that not only did I make one card, I made a whole set of encouragement/congrats cards:

I didn't have any bright blue card stock that I liked for what I had in my head, so I grabbed a piece of Neenah Solar White and covered it with one of the summer Distress Inks - Salty Ocean.  The color was perfect for what I wanted! 

 

 

To make the sentiment banner pop from the patterned background, I inked the edges with the Salty Ocean ink pad. And for those counting my layers for the YCU challenge - there's FIVE :)

It was a quick set to make and I can see lots of possibilities in all colors of the rainbow with this one!

Thanks for stopping by!

Copics in Storage

This week, I challenged myself to color images without using my copics.  I love coloring my stamps from Some Odd Girl with those magical markers, so I thought I'd color Gwen in using my Prismacolors...

The card is based on this weeks CPS sketch:

I flipped it 180 degrees and made it a trifold card.  The front image on the scalloped oval flips up to reveal the inside fold and small sentiment...

Then that panel folds down to reveal where a written message would be...

In addition to the CPS challenge, I'm playing along with:

Lily Pad's Patterned Paper Challenge

Anything Goes Challenge

I'll be back tomorrow to finish up my challenge week with one more non-Copic colored creation!

Gift Box II

Since I made this gift box, I've been itching to make another, so that's what I did today.  Instead of going with a Christmas theme, I went with a generic "For You" -

I based this box on three different challenges going on right now:

   

I used the color scheme from PCD's Color Splash Challenge and the layout from CPS's sketch.  Here's a close up of the front panel:

To finish it off I added a tag in honor of the CAS-ual Friday challenge using Mandarin and Charcoal twine from the Twinery:

Now that I've done a generic one, I better get back to the Christmas theme so I have plenty to use for gift boxes this holiday.  :)

Happy Monday!
