Uptown Girl Sandy and Her Sombrero - Stamping Bella (TPE231)

Happy Monday!

We have a two week "Anything Goes" Challenge over at The Pink Elephant.

 I used a new stamp from Stamping Bella called Uptown Girl Sandy and her Sombrero for my card.  I'm kind of all Christmas carded out - LOL.  I want the warm weather back!

 

I used some Ocober Afternoon Thrift Shop paper that I have had forever - but still love.  She is colored in copics and I stamped the image in Memento ink.

 

You can see the glimmer of Wink of Stella on her glasses and her drink glass.

 

I added some twine and a little bow to finish off my card. 

 

Please join us for this fun challenge over at TPE!

Tammy's Scrappin' Corner - Guest Designer

Happy Monday!

A few weeks ago I entered a challenge over at Tammy's Scrappin Corner and I was chosen!  :)

Here is the card I created for the challenge:

The these was Inspired by a Song Title.  I used Old Macdonald.

Here is a close up on my coloring.  I used Copic markers and some Wink of Stella pen on his buttons and the wheat he is chewing on.

I used October Afternoon's Campfire pad for my papers.  I think it fit in pretty good.  Please go check out the challenge here.

 

You can see my video on how I colored this image here on my Youtube channel!

 

Have a great week!

Joanie - Mo Manning

Hi Ladies,

I have a sweet card to share with you today.  I have used a new digital image from Mo Manning called Joanie.  She is a little artist with a paint palette.  Too cute! 

 

I used October Afternoon's Thrift Shop paper pad.  I printed the image on Copic Xpress paper and colored it with copics.  I have used a few PTI dies and the sentiment is also from PTI.

 

I also glittered up some mini clothes pins and used one of them on this card.  :)

 

 

The main image is pooped up on foam dimensionals.  I have stitched the main panel and around the image.  I added some Star Dust Stickles on the paints on the palette and the paint brush.  I also put the stickles on the apple and the stem and leaf on the apple.

 

 

Here is a close up of the colored image,  You can kind of see the stickles here.

 

I am entering this card in the challenge below:

Mom's Birthday Card

Today I have a card and a tag to share that I made for my Mom's 60th birthday.

I used a layout from  Debbie Olson that I found on her blog.  :)  She is a sweet lady.  I used an October Afternoon paper pad called 5 and Dime.

The stamp set is from Papertrey Ink and I think it is call Botanical Silhouettes.  The ribbon and buttons are from my stash.  The sentiment is also PTI.

Here is the tag that I made for the bag that was holding her present.

Here is a close up of the matching tag.

Below is a part of a card that my middle daughter made for my mom:

She used some scraps and a butterfly punch from Stampin Up.

She did a great job!

Chalkboard Technique

Hey ladies, happy Sunday!

Today a few a few cards to share using the very popular chalkboard look that is all over Pintrest.  I used the same Ocober Afternoon Thrift Shop paper pad so all of them look like a set.  I used a variety of stamps for the sentimets.  I used some Taylored Expression dies to help decorate the Lil Inker banner.  The doily is from Michael's baking section.  The individual card details will be below each card.

 

This stamp is MSE - Who Am I. 

 

This stamp set is from Stampendous, it's called Holiday Home.  The little birds are a PTI die cut.

 

 

The stamp I used on this card is from PTI called A Big Thank You.

 

 

My last card in the "set" is using Mark Your Spot from Taylored Expressions.

 

 

Enjoy the rest of your night - work tomorrow.

Tonight I have a card to share that I made using a Saturated Canary image.  My daughter saw her and said she looks like Belle in Beauty and the Beast.  :) 

I printed the image on Neenah cardstock and colored it with my copics.  I added some Crystal Stickles around the image for sparkle.  I used my Fishtail MFT dies and my cirlce and scalloped circle Spellbinders dies.  The patterned paper is October Afternoon scraps from my stash.

Fixer Boy and Dante's Drum - Mo Manning

Hi Ladies-

Mo Manning has a fun challenge - is asking you to post your favorite Mo Manning card that you have made in 2012!  Well as you know I use a ton of Mo images so the choice was very difficult for me.  :)

I went through my posts and found this one below.  I love Fixer Boy!

I am submitting this post for this challenge:

http://mosdigitalchallenge.blogspot.com/2012/12/challenge-166-fave-mo-card-made-by-you.html

Have a wonderful day!

Natasha




Are you a Mo Manning fan?  I sure am.  I was looking for an image to make a card for my husband on his bithday and I found not one but two images on Mo's site!  The first one was Fixer Boy.  He is so adorable.  I totally cased this card from here:  http://onehappystamper.typepad.com/stamping_inspirations_wit/2012/03/a-sweet-new-discovery.html

Cindy did an awesome job on her card.  Here is my version:

I printed him on Copic Express Blending paper and colored him with Copics.  The patterend pape that I used was from October Afternoon's Campfire paper pad.  It is so "boyish" in a very appealing way.

My next card, that I made was using Mo's stamp called Dante's Drum.  He is the sweetest little Rasta Boy playing his drum.  :)

I printed Dante on Copic Express Blending paper and colored him in some happy Jamaician colors.  :)  I mounted the image on some Kraft cardstock.  I don't remember who the patterend paper is from...

Well that's all for now - have a wonderful evening.

Coconut Cove -Taylored Expressions

 

Hi Chickies!  Happy Saturday!  Here is a card I made a few days ago using a new stamp set called Coconut Cove by Taylored Expressions.  I love this set!  It has such a vacation time feel to it.

 

I stamped the palm trees multiple times and cut them out so that the palm tree branches have some dimension.  I also added a few rhinestone coconuts. 

 

 

The DSP is October Afternoon's Thriftshop and I used Kraft and Early Espresso for matting. 

 

 

 

Not sure if you can see it but the door, windows and waves have Star Dust Stickles for shine.  The clouds were with my Lil Inker Cloud dies and the waves were a Fiskars punch.  The card was of course colored with copics.

 

Hope you enjoyed!

Nurse - Mo Manning

Hi Ladies -

Today I have a card that uses an image from Mo Manning called Nurse.  I have actually created two cards with this image.  One was for a friend who wanted a nurse themed birthday card and the other is a get well card.

This first card is the birthday card.  I stamped the image on Neenah paper and used some October Afternoon Thrift Shop papers.  I added some glitter and glossy accents for interest. 

This next card is the get well Nurse card.  Again the image was printed on Neenah paper and I colored both images with my copics.  This one has stickles on the teddy bears shirt and the needle and stethoscope.  I used paper from My Minds Eye Hattie papers.  I added a few buttons and twine along with a sentiment from Scrappy Moms.

I am going to enter this second card into the challenge below:

Float My Boat - There She Goes Stamps

Hola - I'm back with another post tonight.  These cards were also totally cased from Wendy @ http://sugarpea-designs.blogspot.com/.  I love her work and I was feeling mojo-less, so I went there for inspiration.

Here is what I created using her layouts and ideas to help me along:

I used the Float My Boat stamp from There She Goes and paper from October Afternoons Thrift Shop.  I colored the image with copics and popped up the little guy in the boat.  I added some stickles to the waves and some black glossy accents to the birds.

Here is another card I created along the same lines:

I used the same stamp but made up my own layout...  The mojo coming back?  :)

I hope you enjoyed!

Bon Appetit - There She Goes Stamps

Hi!  I have not posted a card in a few weeks...  I just haven't been very motivated.  I have made a few cards for friends at work, but nothing that I have taken a picture for to post here.

I figured I better get back in the groove!  I didn't know what to make so I went perusing the blogs of some of my favorite card makers and I ended up on Wendy's blog:  Sugar Pea Designs, here is the link to her blog:  http://sugarpea-designs.blogspot.com/  She is one of my all time favorite card makers so I cased a few of her cards:

Here is one using the Bon Appetit stamp from TSG.  Love that little chef!  I used some papers from October Afternoon's Thrift Shop and a few dies from MFT.  I colored him with copics.

Here is another version that I made using the same layout:

I used some glossy accents on the wine bottle and the wine glasses.

I have another post tonight of another card totally inspired by Wendy.

Best,

Natasha

Wryn, Hanging Around - Tiddly Inks

Hey Chicas!  I have a fun card to share with you tonight - it's using a Tiddly Inks image called Hanging Around.  Wryn has so much character- she is full of spunk!  I printed her on copic blending paper and cut her out.  She is popped up on foam tape along with the clouds.  I used my new Spellbinders Nestibilities dies for the circle and the scalloped circle.  The clouds were punched out with my two Fiskars cloud punches.

I colored her with my copics and used a PTI sentiment.  The clouds behind her were sponged with Tumbled Glass distress inks.  The patterned paper is from Thrift Shop by October Afternoon.

I am going to enter this in the challenges below:

Joy Ride - Tiddly Inks

Good evening, I have a last card to share this evening.  The stamp that I used is one that I won from the Tiddly Inks Photo Inspiration challenge.  It's called Wryn-Joy Ride. 

Isn't it adorable???  I love the little bug!  My youngest daughter wants one when she can drive - hers has to be pink though!  :)

I used October Afternoon's Thrift Shop paper for the map and Recollections Elegance paper for the background.   I colored the image with copics and added some sparkle to the box labels and the heart exhaust.

I am entering this in the challenge below:

Bubba Elephant- Memory Box

Whew! I have so many cards that I have made prior to having a blog that I want to share!  I feel like all I am doing is posting!  Trying to get caught up.  :)

Here are the details on the card below:

This card was made using the Bubba Elephant stamp and die from Memory Box.  I also used the Distressed Tag Die from Memory Box.  The balloons were stamped twice using the Memory Box Balloon Bundle stamp and cut out and popped up on dimensionals.  I colored Bubba and the balloons with copic markers.  I covered the balloons with Dazzling Diamonds for some amazing glitter! 

The patterned paper was October Afternoon - Thrift Shop.  The sentiment is from SU.

I hope you enjoyed!

Have a great day!
