Hello and welcome to another challenge over at Pammies Inky Pinkies.  This week we are sponsored by  We Are Three and I'm using their Floral Blooms which is a never before used one (NBUS) for me.  

I started out by printing the slim line image onto Neenah white card stock so I could color it using pencils but then changed my mind and went with my prismacolor and copic markers instead.  Once the coloring was finished, I took a teardrop memento tuxedo black ink pad and rubbed it along the edges (DTP) of the colored image before layering.  For my card, I took some dusty Prima Sun kissed designer paper I've had for a few years and never used until now and added it to a bashful blue card base.  I then took some of the scrap designer paper and used it as one of the image panel layers.  My only embellishments were some pastel blue brads, some sunflower ribbon I've had for years in my stash, and a few drops of crystal ice stickles to highlight parts of the sun flowers.

You're A Classic

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share with you a card made for my future brother-in-law's birthday using a fairly new stamp set called Oil Always Love You from The Cats Pajamas that I just haven't used until now.  It's ending up being a belated birthday card thanks to health issues and just not having the energy to much of anything.

 

I started out by stamping the main image twice (once on card stock and once on scrap designer paper) in memento tuxedo black ink before coloring parts of the image using Castle Art pencils and a blender pencil.  Once the coloring was finished, I added some Tim Holtz stormy sky distress ink and Stampin Up going grey ink using my blender brushes from Picket Fence Studios before layering and adding brads.  I then took the stamped designer paper images and cut those out so I could paper piece them onto the blank areas of my colored image panel.  For the card, I pulled out some scrap vintage clock face designer paper I had bought at Costco years ago and hadn't finished using up yet, added that to an artichoke card before blending Tim Holtz forest moss distress ink around the edges using my blender brushes.  I then took a scrap strip of Close To My Heart designer paper, layered it onto some chocolate card stock, then added to the card.  After stamping the saying onto the layered image panel, I added that to the card using dimensionals.  The only other embellishments were highlighting parts of the rabbits face using a black artist pen then some dew drops as the cars hub caps and some in the bottom right corner of the card.

It's Pumpkin Time!

Yes it is!!  

 

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share with you a card I made for a few challenges using a retired The Cat's Pajamas clear stamp called Hello Pumpkin (K0712CL).  I absolutely LOVE this set; especially those penguins. 

 

After stamping the image in memento tuxedo black on a Hammermill white scrap, I colored it using both prismacolor and copic markers before stippling Tim Holtz stormy sky distress ink and Stampin Up garden green/summer sun/close to cocoa around it.  Once I was done stippling, I layered the image panel then added some brushed copper brads and added it to a textured cocoa card with a dry embossed border and cocoa ink sponged around the sides.  I then popped up my layered image panel over the border, added a chocolate ribbon and felt flowers I've had for years with bling centers using glue dots.

Happy 29th

Hello and welcome!  Today I'd like to share a card made using two of my favorite sets from The Cats Pajamas.  Unfortunately, both sets are now retired: Smells Like Cake and You Say It's Your Birthday.

I stamped everything onto scrap card stock (including the card itself) before coloring using both prismacolor and copic markers.  Once all of the coloring was finished, I stippled some Tim Holtz broken china distress ink around the edges of the image panel and Stampin Up tempting turquoise around the card before layering.  The only embellishment I added was to highlight portions of the party hats and cupcake sprinkles using some Sakura glaze pens.

Hi Sprinkle

This week's TCPTuesday269  is an inspiration challenge.  For this challenge, I pulled out Flying By and stamped Miss Sprinkle in memento black before coloring her and her plane in prismacolor pencils, adding brads and layering.  I then pulled out a Stampin Up! cloud embossing folder, dry embossed a white panel of card stock, stippled some Tim Holtz tumbled glass distress ink lightly over the clouds before adding my layered panel at an angle.  After adding a butterfly and some handmade flowers, I made my own saying by just inking part of one of the saying stamps in the Flying By set.  The final embellishment was to spritz a little color from a pacific pointe marker over everything.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day.

Life Is Too Short

Hello and welcome to another TCPTuesday challenge.  This time we were given a color challenge of kraft, rose, and vanilla - definitely not my favorite colors, however, that's why it's called a challenge.  So I pulled out one of my favorite bunny sets, Lickable, and stamped it in memento black onto vanilla card stock before coloring with prismacolor markers.  Once my coloring was finished, I lightly stippled some Tim Holtz tattered rose distress ink around the edges before layering and adding brads, some vanilla lace ribbon adhered with glue dots, and some felt flowers to finish my card off.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day.

Some Days And Flying

Hello and welcome.  It's almost the weekend!!!  Today I am sharing a second card I've made for this week's TCPTuesday 267 Anything Goes challenge extension using Flying By and a pre-folded red scallop card.

After stamping the images in memento tuxedo black and coloring with prismacolor pencils, I then stippled some Tim Holtz tumbled glass distress ink around the edges to help fill in the sky before layering onto a real red panel then adding two cloud brads.  Then I added that panel onto a dry embossed cloud panel that was lightly stippled on the reverse embossed side with tumbled glass distress ink to help highlight the raised cloud "images".  That was then added to my card after stamping one of the clouds from Flying By in real red ink directly onto the scalloped card before adding two prima flowers with a clear dew drop center.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great weekend.

Riding and Walking

It's time for another TCPTuesday!!  The challenge this time is an extension of the Anything Goes challenge from the previous two weeks.  So with that in mind, I pulled out my Besties set along with some DCWV Timeless Collection designer paper and got to work.  After stamping the image in memento black on white card stock, I colored the bike and penguins using my prismacolor pencils.  Once the coloring was finished, I pulled out some stipple brushes and lightly stippled Tim Holtz tumbled glass distress ink around the upper edge of the main image panel for the sky and brushed corduroy for the "road" then stippled in a little bit of Stampin Up! basic grey to help darken the "road" a bit more.  The only embellishments added were some vintage brads and two heart flourishes.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day and don't forget you still have time participate in the TCPTuesday challenge.

Woooooooo! Sing It Baby!!!

Hello there!  It's time for another TCPTuesday over on  The Cat's Pajamas and this time the theme is anything goes.  Since I'm still getting my mojo back from taking care of hubby for a few months, not to mention my own migraines, I pulled out one of my favorite TCP sets "Idols", which is retired, along with an allegro cuttlebug embossing folder to make it easy on myself.  Not much of a challenge, but hey, what can I say?

After stamping and coloring the images, I stippled some Tim Holtz wild honey distress ink around the edges of the main image panel before layering then adding some baby brads.  To the embossed panel, I also stippled Tim Holtz spiced marmalade distress ink to help highlight the embossed edges before adding some silk flowers from my stash.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day.  To everyone who has served in the military, or is currently serving right now, THANK YOU SO MUCH for you service.

Happy 29th.....Again!!!

Hello and welcome.  This week's TCP Tuesday challenge is all about numbers, so I decided to make a snarky birthday card using some of my older TCP sets and some Doodlebug Design Fruit Stand designer paper.  Since most people after age 20 don't like to figure out how old they are, the saying in You Say It's Your Birthday is perfect for my snarky card along with the punch line from Smells Like Cake for the inside.  All of my images are stamped in memento tuxedo black ink onto white card stock and colored using prismacolor markers and ice stickles to highlight the cupcakes along with some yellow polka dotted ribbon at the top.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day and don't forget to stamp a card for the challenge.  You could win some Cat Cash to spend in the TCP store.  Check out all the deets here.

TCP Tuesday Happy Spring!!

Hello and welcome again.  This week's TCP Tuesday challenge is all about clouds.  Since the calender says it's springtime (although in California it still feels like early summer), I decided to make a spring card using the TCP cloud border and go a bit outside the box by making the clouds into bushes!!  So once I got done cutting my border in two different colors of green scraps of card stock, I pulled out my Spring Fling stamp set and got to work.

After stamping all the images I wanted to use in memento tuxedo black onto some white card stock, I started coloring them using both prismacolor markers and koh-i-noor pencils blending the pencils with an alcohol blender as needed along the way.  I'm starting to love this new technique after learning about it in one of the MIX-ability challenges on SCS even though I'm not much of a mixed media person - at least I don't think I am.  Once all of the coloring was finished, I then created my own little "road" for the carrot car Poochie is in to drive on to pick up Miss Sprinkle before adding some Tim Holtz tumbled glass distress ink around the edges for the sky then layering onto some Making Memories English Garden designer paper I've had in my stash for ages.  Adding the "bush" clouds using various sizes of dimensionals and pop dots gives the card some extra dimension as well as drawing in my own little birdies flying in the sky.  I then punched some butterflies from scraps using a Martha Stewart butterfly punch, added ribbon and ice stickles all over the card to finish it off.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great week!!!

What's Mew Bingo?

Hello and welcome!  Today I am sharing a card I made for this week's TCP Tuesday challenge.  I decided to make the card for my hubby whose recovering from total hip surgery and loves getting happy mail himself since he's home bound. 

I used some some Kaiser Craft Chapter One designer paper gifted me by my awesome friend KelliJo.  After stamping my images in memento tuxedo black ink and coloring with prismacolor markers, I stippled some tim holtz distress inks around and over the images to help "age" things a bit.  Even though the card is for a man, I also added some ribbon and flowers to help finish things off.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day.

Holla! - October TCP Tuesday

Hello and welcome.  This month's TCP Tuesday challenge was to use, or not to use, any embellishments.  I ended up making two cards for this challenge, however, for the first one I put buttons on it at the last minute and had to toss that - thank goodness HYCCT was going on so I could use the card there.  However, I digress.  Here's my corrected card with NO embellishments - migraine and all.  This was soooo much harder for me than I thought it was going to be even with keeping the card clean and simple.  Yikes!

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great and safe Halloween tommorrow.

It's TCP Tuesday Time!

Hello and welcome.  Today I am sharing a few cards I've made for this month's TCP Tuesday paper piecing challenge.  Although it's a very simple technique with beautiful results, it's also one I don't do very often.

My first card uses one of my favorite TCP sets, Coffee, Tea, Meow along with some scrap designer paper for the tablecloth, heart pearl brads, ribbon, and a pearl dew drop.  Miss Sprinkle is also colored using prismacolor markers and a blender marker.

My second card features Oh Chute on a one layer scrap card, scrap designer paper for the parachute, a die cut cloud border I cut apart, popped up, then stippled ink on and some hand drawn birds.  I also stippled some of my own clouds using a scalloped oval punch scrap along with Tim Holtz tumbled glass ink.

There's still time for you to enter into the challenge so what are you waiting for?  Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day.

July TCP Tuesday Challenge

Hello and welcome.  I've been having some additional health issues lately, so unfortunately, haven't been able to stamp or post to my blog on a more regular basis.  I'm hoping to be able to get back to a more regular posting schedule soon.

This month's TCP Tuesday challenge is to make our own tags, so I chose to try my hand at making a couple of cards for the challenge.  The tags on both of my cards were made using Sizzix dies and my big shot.  After stamping my images in memento black and coloring with prismacolor markers, both cards were assembled before adding ribbon, stamping matching backgrounds and sponging ink around the edges.

Clean And Simple - TCP Style!

Hi there!  First let me say THANK YOU to all of our men and women in the military for their service and to their families for letting them serve.

Today I have a few cards I am sharing that I made for this month's TCP Tuesday CAS challenge.  I've found that as my migraines bug me more, when I'm able to stamp, my cards tend to become more clean and simple so this challenge was perfect for me.  In fact, I was able to get three cards made for the challenge, two with matching envelopes using scrap card stock.

My first card uses the TCP set A Cuppa stamped in memento tuxedo black onto a white card then colored with prismacolor markers.  I kept this card very simple with no embellishments, or inside sentiment, of any kind so it could be used for a get well or thinking of you card depending on need.

My second and third cards use the TCP set called You Sick Thing (isn't that a great name for a set) stamped in memento black ink onto scrap white card stock folded into smaller cards to fit into those small #10 envelopes we all have around the house somewhere for bills.  Who wants bills showing up in their mailbox?  Happy mail is much, much better instead!  Once the cards were colored, I stamped and colored the envelopes to match before lightly sponging some going grey ink around the outside edges of Sprinkles© card.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great weekend!

Love Stinks - TCP Tuesday April Challenge

Second post for me today.  If you are looking for my Inspiration Challenge post, please scroll down one.

Today I am sharing a card I made for this month's TCP Tuesday April challenge.  This month Alma has challenged us to create a card or project using flowers as the main focal point.  So, not being one to shy away from this challenge even though my migraine was still bugging me,

I pulled out some die cut flowers I had received as part of a secret sister gift and paired them with the TCP set Love Stinks and stamped part of a background using only the solid hearts from the set along with some Stampin Up! lavender lace and regal rose inks.  After sponging the same inks around the edges of some of the flowers, as well as kiwi kiss ink, I added them to my card in the corners along with some punched "greens" using a Martha Stewart punch and scrap card stock.  Then I stamped my saying onto another die cut panel, sponged ink around the edges, and them popped it up onto my card.  The final touches were to add some pink pearls and Stampendous class-a-peel butterfly stickers.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day.

Love Stinks

Short post today since I'm still dealing with a migraine and have had no sleep.

Hello and welcome to Wednesday.  Yay!!  That means the week is half way over!!  I have not been feeling my best lately thanks to my migraines, but I just had to ink up my Cat's Pajamas Love Stinks set.  I just love those penguins Alma draws!!  They're so cute and addicting!!  I decided while stamping to follow the rules for the TCP Tuesday 193 and 194 challenges for the card as well as the Valentine Blog Hop on Alma's Blog.

After stamping my penguins in memento tuxedo black twice, so I could cut one set out and pop up later, I colored them with prismacolor markers before stippling Stampin Up! regal rose ink around the edges of the image panel and card itself.  Then taking my Queen of Hearts Border, I die cut one border and saved the little hearts that are punched out of it to use as faux brads.  After layering my penguins, and adding my faux brads, I popped up the image panel over the border using Stampin Up! dimensionals and then added the additional cut out penguins with dimensionals as well.  As a last minute thought, I stamped the hearts in the top corners before adding more hearts next to the sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day.

I Want To Hold Your Hand - TCP Tuesday 191 & 192

Hello and welcome to Wednesday and knowing that your week is half over.

Double challenge here!!!  How's that for multi-tasking??  I was able to get both the TCPTUES inspiration and embossing challenges with the same card by using one of my favorite TCP sets Idols.  Now who do these little guys remind you of?  They are so much like the Beatles (I know I added an extra singer) that I just had to buy the set when first I saw it. 

For the inspiration part, I chose to go with the hearts in the photos and pulled out my cuttlebug heart blocks embossing folder to use for the embossing challenge since I refuse to use my heat gun as much as I can. 

After I stamped all of my images on Mark's Finest Papers snowstorm smooth white premium paper in memento tuxedo black, I pulled out my prismacolor markers and colored the open images; blending as needed.  For the cymbal, I pulled out my metallic crayola pencils to use the gold pencil on that part.  After I was done cutting some of the images, and hair, out, I pulled out some pop dots to add a little dimension to the "stage" before adding some musical note brads I had found at Michael's a few months back.  Some ribbon tied in a knot at the top is the only other embellishment I added to my card.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Hop on over to Alma's blog for all of the deets about this week's challenge and the opportunity to be next month's Swanky Stamper!!  Have a great day.

Merry Christmas From Maynard!

Hello, cat friends.  This is my first take on The Cat's Pajamas TCP Tuesday challenge.

A friend of mine just recently lost her 12 year old cat, and replaced it with a kitten named Maynard.  Or I should say Mayhem Maynard! :)  After having two adult cats for years, she and her husband forgot about what kittens love to get into.  Needless to say, there's no Christmas tree up this year thanks to Maynard climbing up the one they were starting to put up & decorate thereby hurting himself.  So down came the tree.  Since Maynard makes all of "his" friends laugh so much, I decided to pull out this TCP set called Deck The Hall and make them a Christmas card from my family and Maynard.  I mean, shoot, the saying alone is just too perfect for Maynard.


I wanted to go with some non-traditional colors since Maynard is a "non-traditional" type of cat.  So I pulled out some of my Stampin Up! card stock and my MFT Perfect Panels and got to work.  After stamping my images twice on MFT white Perfect Panels and coloring with Prismacolor Markers, I cut out one set of images for popping up.  Pulling out a cuttlebug ornament embossing folder, and running my card stock through my Big Shot, I got to work layering and stippling Stampin Up! summer sun ink.  After rummaging through my stash of ribbons, I finally found this Queen & Company poinsettia felt self sticking ribbon to create a border.  Keeper, my friends dog, is popped up over the tree and then popped up again.

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a great day.!
