Hello and welcome.   Today begins a new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and this week WE are sponsoring the challenge.  My card this week uses MFT's Lighthouse Gnomes.  I've had this set for awhile now and just haven't used it until now.

 

I started out by stamping everything in memento tuxedo black ink onto Copic white card stock before coloring the images using Ohuhu's Honolulu markers.  Once the coloring was finished, I fussy cut the gnomes and seagulls before setting them aside to blend some tumbled glass distress ink around the edges and to fill in the sky before layering and adding brads.  I then adhered the layered image panel to my card base using glue dots, then adhered the gnomes I had cut out.  The only embellishment added was some ice stickles to highlight the water and light from the lighthouse.

Hello and welcome.  Today begins a new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and this week we are sponsoring the challenge.   My card this week uses a retired set Hanging With My Gnomies from My Favorite Things that I received in a friends destash box.  After stamping all of the images, and saying, in memento tuxedo black, I colored them using both prismacolor and copic markers before blending tumbled glass distress ink to fill in the sky.  Brads and ice stickles finish the card off.  I'm pretty happy with how it turned out since I'm still dealing with a bad migraine.

It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

 

Hello and welcome.  I'm still playing catch up on posts for cards I had started before the passing of my mom.  So, today I'd like to share with you a card made using one of the My Favorite Things stamp sets I recently received thanks to a gift certificate from @kreabymik.   

I started out by stamping images/saying from Christmas Carols in memento tuxedo black ink using my MISTI.  I then stamped the snowflakes in Tim Holtz broken china distress ink using an acrylic block before coloring everything using my Castle Arts watercolor pencils and a blender pencil. Once my coloring was finished, I blended some Tim Holtz stormy sky distress ink for the background using my blending brushes before layering and adding brads and adhering to the card using glue dots.  I then dug out of my stash some white/silver thread and tied it across the top before adding a silver snowflake charm I've had for years.  The final touch was adding some waterfall and diamond ice stickles to the snowflakes and sidewalk.  I'm really happy with how this turned out.

 Hi friends! Welcome to week 6 of Falling For Wednesdays hosted by @kellysantidesigns If you are interested in joining the Winter Hop starting in November, please send Kelly a PM! This week’s fall theme is: Farmer’s Market!  For this week's card, I allowed myself to be inspired by the pumpkin patch we used to take the kids to when they were little and the weekend farmers market here in town.  

 

So I pulled out my Happy Pumpkin Season stamp set (NBUS) from MFT Stamps, and a slimline card from my scrap pile, and stamped all of the images in memento tuxedo black ink before coloring using my Castle Arts pencils.  Once my coloring was finished, I stenciled the background hills using a retired MFT mountain/snow mound stencil and the clouds using my PFS slimline cloud coverage stencil using PFS blending brushes.  After adding some clear Gin and Tonic sequins, my card is finished.

Furry And Bright

 

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share with you a Christmas card I made using an adorable, but retired set, from My Favorite Things.  I'm trying to get caught up on my stash of Christmas cards since I'm usually finished by the end of September but not this year.  Migraines, and illnesses, have put me way behind.  

I started out by stamping my images using my MISTI (I received as a gift) in memento tuxedo black ink before coloring using both prismacolor and copic markers.  Once my coloring was finished, I die cut the kitten out before adhering it to the image panel using glue dots.  Once the panel was layered and silver brads added, I adhered it to the razzleberry card base using medium sized glue dots.  The only embellishments added were some silver/white thread along the edge, a blinged-out flourish and some crystal ice stickles as "snow".

The prize will be a $10 Gift Certificate from

My Favorite Things

Hello and welcome.  Today begins a new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies.  This week we our prize is a $10 gift certificate to My Favorite Things.  My card today is using a retired MFT stamp set I had bought last year and hadn't ink yet.  It's designed by Rachel Ann Miller called Away In A Manger.

 

I started out by stamping my manger scene in memento tuxedo black ink on some scrap Hammermill card stock before coloring using both prismacolor and copic markers, along with Lyra flesh tone pencils, before fussy cutting the scene and star out before setting aside.  I then pulled a 12x12 sheet of Recollections designer paper to use as the background of my scene before adhering it to a navy card base.  Once I added my manger I was able to stamp the saying onto scrap white card stock then layered.  The final touch was color spritzing some Stampin Up night of navy marker.

Boston Tea Party

 Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share with you a card made for the new Ways to Use It Time Travelers challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.com.  For my card, I decided to go with a Boston Tea Party inspiration and pulled out a set I had bought from The Cat's Pajamas during their stamp clearance called Ship Happens.  TCP currently has the set in digital form.  

After stamping my images on scrap Hammermill white card stock, I colored them using both Prismacolor and Copic  markers before stippling some tumbled glass distress ink over a slimline cloud stencil from Picket Fence Studios.  Taking some scrap light blue card stock, I used an old wave die-namic from My Favorite Things to create my waves before layering and adding brads.  The card was dry embossed using an old Cuttlebug divine swirl embossing folder with my big shot then lightly stippled more of the tumbled glass distress ink over it.  The only other embellishments are some silver/white bakers twine, crystal ice stickles and highlighted parts of the image using Castle Arts glitter gel pen all from my stash.

Where's The Fountain Of Smart?

Hello and welcome.  It's Freebie Friday at Bugaboo Stamps blog Catch The Bug.  Today's image is Stella Calendar September, and she is priceless!

After printing off the image onto Hammermill white card stock, I colored her using both prismacolor and copic markers before sponging ballet blue ink around the edges and layering.  For the card, I added some never before used Creative Imaginations ruled designer paper I had forgotten I had onto a ballet blue card.  I then took some matching scrap card stock, stamped a book border using a retired MFT set, then also sponged ballet blue around the card before adding my layered image.  The only embellishments added were matching brads, ribbon and some dew drops.

Yay Nats!

Hello and welcome.  Sorry it's been a bit between posts, my health issues have been giving me fits. However, today I'd like to share a card I made for a friend who's a Washington Nationals fan.   The entire card is made using card stock scraps too.  Gotta use up those scraps you know.

I started out by stamping the baseball onto the actual card in memento blue Danube then cutting down the image panel and red layer to fit the smaller card before stamping everything else.  Once the pennants were stamped using MFP's retired Tailgate Party and then adding MFT's Wendy Alpha, I pulled colored them using copic markers before stippling Tim Holtz tumbled glass ink over and around them.  I then stamped the baseball, also from Tailgate Party in memento black onto more white scraps, cut out, then popped up over the main image panel.  As an afterthought, I highlighted both the lettering and baseball using embossing glaze pens.  The only other embellishment added, were matching blue brads.

Summer's Last Hurrah

Hello and welcome.  I'm still trying to focus on something other than my elevated pain levels, so today I'd like to share with you a card I made for a few challenges using the retired Summer Pin Up digi from Simply B Stamps.

After printing my image onto white card stock and coloring using both prismacolor and copic markers, I stippled some Tim Holtz tumbled glass distress ink and Adirondack caramel ink around the image before layering onto scrap card stock.  I then stamped the saying in memento black and added some silver brads.  For my card, I added some scrap wave designer paper before adding two die cut wave borders sponged with buckaroo blue ink.  I then adhered my layered image over the sponged waves.  The final embellishments were a Jolee's beach umbrella die cut sticker from my never before used stuff stash (NBUS) and a few waterfall dew drops.

Knowledge Is Power

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share a card I made for a couple of challenges using a retired set from My Favorite Things called I Heart Books.  Since I was going with a "back to school" theme, I pulled out a brown paper lunch bag to use as the base of my card before adding some retired Basic Grey designer paper and sponging Tim Holtz fired brick distress ink around the edges of the card.  I then stamped the images in memento tuxedo black ink onto scraps of white card stock and colored them using both prismacolor and copic markers.  I then cut out all of the colored images and popped up the reading child and added the book worm to the inside.  The only embellishments added are some red bakers twine, brads, and a couple of prima flowers with a bling center.

MFT Brag Book

Hello and happy Monday.  Today I'm sharing with you my first attempt at a paper bag book made as an entry for this month's MFT Guest Designer contest.  Since my friend KelliJo threw down the gauntlet, I just had to pick it up and run with it.  So here's what I came up with.

Pulling out my Crate Paper School Spirit designer paper, and deciding which ones I wanted to use, I cut them down to the size needed to fit both inside and on the front cover of my brag book. Once that was done, I dusted off several of my MFT sets that hadn't seen ink in awhile, I stamped all of the images I wanted to use in memento tuxedo black ink onto white card stock and colored them with prismacolor markers making sure the image colors matched their corresponding pages.  As each page was colored, the images were cut out and adhered to the inside.

Here's a close up of the last page so you can see the bookworm a bit more closely.

After adding some MFT coffee ribbon to bind my book together, I was finished.  Although I didn't use any die-namics on my project, I'm really happy with the way my book turned out since I put it together while still battling another migraine.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day.

Let Your Light Shine - MFTWSC60

It's been a long while since I've been able to participate in a weekly stamp club sketch challenge, but this week I got to play along - migraines and all.  I had to do something to keep my mind occupied since my son started getting cyber bullied this weekend.  I do not need that added stress for my migraines!

I started out by pulling out some Making Memories vacation designer paper and went from there.  After stamping the light from MFT's new Inspired By Lighthouses set on Snow Storm Smooth premium paper by Mark's Finest Papers, I pulled out my prismacolor markers and started coloring.  Once the coloring was done, I die cut the image out using MFT's Oval Open Scallop Die-Namic and then stippled Stampin Up! basic gray ink around the image before popping it up over a plain border.  For my finishing touches, I die cut three of the Leafy Flourish's and then hand cut out three of flowers from the designer paper.  I'm pretty happy with how it turned out since I was on double migraine meds when I put it together.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great evening.

Dogs Have Owners....

Cats have staff!!!  That is sooooooo true!!!  At least in my household with the 5 cats I have and the one dog.  That fantastic saying is from the retired Mod Mod World set from The Cat's Pajamas. 

I signed up for an ATC swap over on Splitcoaststampers back in December having never made ATC's before.  Not exactly the brightest thing for me to do, huh?  However, thanks to my trusty friend KJ, aka KelliJo on SCS, she reminded me of the resources section on Splitcoast so I found the tutorial on how to cut ATC's.

So once I stamped all of my images from Mod, Mod World, I colored Miss Sprinkles eyes and the stripe on her spaceship with prismacolor markers before realizing my spaceship was the same size as the main layer of the ATC.  That's a slight problem.  So I then had to cut out all of the images I had just colored, set those aside, then cut my ATC's, designer paper layer, and then another black layer with a stamped background.  After punching holes for my ribbon to go through, I also punched some Martha Stewart rockets and some funky looking star clusters.  Since the rockets looked a little plain to me, I found my MFT Banner Alpha and stamped the TCP on the rockets before adding them to the ATC's.  After popping up Sprinkle's spaceship, the rocket, adding bling to the funky star clusters and ice stickles, my ATC's were done.  Well?  What do you think?

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day.
