Hello and welcome.  Today begins a new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies.  I would like to thank them for their sponsorship of our challenge. My project this week uses the retired Paradise Palms and Newton's Seashell sets.  

 

I started out by stamping everything using various colors of Memento ink before coloring my kitty/shell using Ohuhu markers.  Once that was finished, I stippled chipped sapphire, broken china distress inks and caramel dye ink before layering and adding some sand dollar brads I've had for years.  After adding the layered image panel to my card, I adhered a gold lighthouse charm using glossy accents, bling and two punched blue crabs to my scene.  Some twine finishes the card off.

Run Up To Christmas 2023 Week 8

 

 

Hello and welcome to week 8 of the #runuptochristmashop2023 and this week we're being inspired to Make A Scene.  Now I love scenic stamping so this challenge is "right up my alley" so to speak and I knew the stamp set I wanted to use.  I just received this Snow Village set by Impression Obsession from a friend that's been on my wish list for some time now.  I decided to use my church in Anchorage, Alaska as inspiration for my scene.

I started out by stamping the village in memento tuxedo black ink on a slimline scrap panel before coloring using both prismacolor and copic markers.  Once my coloring was finished, I pulled out my Slimline Cloud stencil from Picket Fence Studios and created my cloud background using Tim Holtz stormy sky distress ink and blending brushes.  At this point, I decided I needed some more trees and a couple of snowmen, so I stamped those on scrap white card stock, colored using gel pens, then cut out to adhered to my card.  After stamping my saying from Colorado Craft Company's Bethlehem's Light, I then adhered the image panel to a spruce green card before adding the clay snowflakes from  plum pudding sequin mix and diamond ice stickles because snow just had to sparkle.

Well Behaved Women

 

Hello and welcome.  Today I'm guest designing over at the Pixie's Crafty Workshop #410 and I've used a whole bunch of snippets for my card.  In fact, just about everything is from a snippet except the card base. First, I would like to thank Diane for letting me guest host this fortnight.

I started out by trimming a Neenah white scrap panel before stamping the background pyramids from Clearly Besotted's Egyptian Feline (NBUS) and coloring using Castle Art Pencils before stamping the pyramids again onto scrap caramel card stock, then cutting them out and adhering over the colored pyramids using glue dots.  I then stamped the saying above before stamping the remaining images onto scrap white card stock, again coloring with pencils, before cutting them all out and adhering using glue dots.  I then die cut the sun, blended some yo-yo yellow ink on the edges before popping that up using dimensionals.  Taking scraps of green card stock, I punched out the "hanging fern" and flowers adhering all of those using Ranger glossy accents.  The final touches were adding some extra flowers in the vases, ice stickle highlights, and white gel pen to accent my cats eyes.

Swimming Through The Kelp Forest Among Others

 Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share some cards made for the Dare To Get Dirty challenges over at Splitcoaststampers.com.  If you're not a Fan Club member of Splitcoast, you can find more information here. The challenges are open until August 20th at 11:59pm CST.  Sorry I haven't blogged them before now.  I'm dealing with a nasty migraine again.

My little mermaid's inspiration was taken from Monterey Bay's kelp forests and ferns/flowers that were punched from lots and lots of scraps then added using Ranger glossy accents.

 

Challenge entered: Pixies Crafty Workshop #409 - Use Your Snippets/Scraps

 

My Halloween card below was inspired by the ghost stamp set and the saying both from Picket Fence Studios.

My floral spray is made using die cut flowers and leaves along with some punched fern greenery that's been run through a paper crimper.

Made my cowboy card thinking of little boy birthday cards which I need desperately.  Images from Stampin Up!

My dog bone card is made from an old template I purchased from My Favorite Things over a decade ago.  Saying from Picket Fence Studios. Dog image from a long retired Stampin Up set Ruff Day.

These are just a few other the cards I've made.  Thank goodness the design team had a month of planning to allow me time to make these.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day.

Hello and welcome to Pammies Inky Pinkies challenge #2116.  This week we are sponsored by Newton's Nook Designs.  I would like to thank the Newton's Nook for sponsoring this week's challenge.  Trust me, if you love cats or especially cute images, then Newton's Nook is your kind of stamp store.   For my project today, I am using a cute little set I recently bought (NBUS) called Lake Advice, and you know, the sentiment is so true.

For my card, I decided to try using up some of the scraps still on my stamp table.  I started out by stamping all my images in memento tuxedo black ink before coloring using Castle Art pencils and a blender pencil.  I then stippled some Tim Holtz tumbled glass distress ink around the edges before lightly blending some summer sun behind the trees so it looked like the sun was rising/setting.  I then stamped the card itself in gardent green ink before stippling the same ink around the edges. After adding some ice stickles to highlight the water, I then cut out the canoe/oar and adhered them using glue dots.  The final touch was adding some Picket Fence Gin and Tonic sequins using Ranger glossy accents to adhere them due to their small size.  I'm really happy with how this turned out, especially since I made it while dealing with another migraine.  Had to focus on something else besides the pain since the pain meds weren't working.

Tonight I once again semi-CASED myself and pulled out I'm Going Batty to create my card with along with some scrap 12x12 designer paper from my stash.  The only embellies I used are moon brads, bright green primas, orange ice stickles and an icicle border punch I used as a "gooey" strip.  The inside saying finishes the outside with "if the broom fits, fly it."

I then took some of my non halloween stamps (Mountains Selections, On The Fly, Tree Selections), made a card and added a broom and cat which I popped up from Halloween Selections just to see how it would turn out.  I kind of like it.

Enjoy the Hop. Come back each day to be
