Its time for another Stamp Something Challenge

2nd Post Today

Hi friends! Today is another opportunity for a great challenge over at Stamp Something Challenge. Whiff of Joy is the sponsor this week and your challenge is paper piecing. I love this technique, but don't really do it often enough. I also notice that I generally only do it with people stamps and clothing. So of course its fitting that my card uses the super cute Whiff of Joy Charlie stamp. I got several of these stamps when Katherina first started her company and I think they are adorable.

I colored any parts that I didn't paper piece with Copics and then added a bit of detail with some Liquid Applique for the snow balls and snow.

I also had some fun with Fun Flock and used it on Charlie's gloves. Love the look it created with it.

And finally, paired it with a sentiment from a Close to my Heart stamp set and ribbon.

Thanks for stopping by and make sure to visit Stamp Something Blog to check out the rest of the DT's fabulous samples.

Thanks for visiting and have a great day.

Clear Dollar Stamps Sneak Peak #4

Happy Friday everyone! I've got one more sneak peek for you today and this will finish them up for this month. You can go to Clearly iStamp to see the full reveals of today's and all the stamps being released tomorrow. Yup... first thing tomorrow you can order to your hearts content!

So here is the rundown of stamps being shared with you today: Church Chatter, September Aster, October Calendula, Stamp of the month Blown Over, $1 stamp Apple & books

I'll be sharing 2 cards with you today, one for the September and one for the October Flower of the Month. The first card uses the October Flower - Calendula. I must admit that as much as I enjoy coloring, there are just as many times that I want/like simple stamping. I did add the background stamping on the designer paper using the text stamp that is in the stamp set. Its super easy to line up and looks fabulous.

It doesn't get any simpler than this. I kept it simple and did some distressing with my scissors and some inks.

I also added one my new favorite type of ribbon - silk. It is just gloriuous to work with and then I added some Basic Grey self adhesive pearls in the other corners.

Recipe:

ALL CDSTAMPS LLC STAMP SETS USED: Calendula October Flower of the Month
CARDSTOCK AND PAPERS: Chocolate, Garden Green (Close to my heart) DP: from Costco
INKPADS: Brilliance Coffee Bean, Chocolate (Close to my Heart), Distress Ink (Papertrey ink)
ACCESSORIES AND EMBELLISHMENTS: Spellbinders Nestability Labels 3, Basic Grey Pearls, May Arts Silk Ribbon

My next card uses the September Aster and ironically, I made these two cards with quite a bit of time between them and still ended up with similar looking cards, but different (lol).

For this flower, I embossed it with gold embossing powder and used just 2 tombow markers and an aqua painter to color it in. I again, inked the edges just slightly and cut it out with a nestability. I also embossed the background with my swiss dots folder and added that great silk ribbon and the Basic Grey pearls.

See, different but the same.

Recipe:

ALL CDSTAMPS LLC STAMP SETS USED: Aster September Flower of the Month
CARDSTOCK AND PAPERS: Olive, Buttercup (CTMH), Watercolor Paper, Wisteria Basic Grey
INKPADS: Versamark
MARKERS: 772 (pink), 098 (green)
ACCESSORIES AND EMBELLISHMENTS: Silk Ribbon, Gold embossing powder, waterbrush, Kaisercraft pearls, SU! ticket punch, Curved Rectangle Nestabilities

Well, that's it for me, but go visit these lovely ladies for even more eye candy!

Clear Dollar Stamps Sneak Peek #3

Happy Thursday friends. It is still freakishly hot here in the Pacific Northwest, but don't worry, we'll survive (lol) Well, its day 3 of Clear Dollar Stamps Sneak Peeks. All previous stamps and today's stamps will be available first thing August 1st - yahoo. You can also see the full reveals on Lori's blog - Clearly iStamp and some more wonderful samples.

So... what do I have for you today? I will be sharing samples for 2 sets today, but here are all the sets being shown - Rosebud Prince, Playful Pixies, Pansy, Sweet Symphony & Sheet Music.

My first 2 samples are from another new flower set called Pansy... can you guess what it is?? LOL... bad humor (sorry) This is a nice sized image that is great for coloring with just about any medium you prefer.

I chose to use my Copics and tried to match up my pansy to the colors on my Basic Grey floral background paper. I think I did a decent job of it. I also cut the flower slightly off center which allowed room for a small sentiment which is actually from another Clear Dollar set called Sunflower Songs. I added a cute charm and a Basic Grey self adhesive pearl to the center.

Recipe:

ALL CDSTAMPS LLC STAMP SETS USED: Pansy, Sunflower Songs (sentiment)
CARDSTOCK AND PAPERS: White (Papertrey ink), Smokey Plum, Indian Corn Blue (Close to my Heart), DP: Wisteria (Basic Grey)
INKPADS: Black (Close to my Heart), Memento Tuxedo Black
MARKERS: B00, B12, B45, B95, YG63, G21, C-1
ACCESSORIES AND EMBELLISHMENTS: Basic Grey Adhesive Pearls, Dollar Store Ribbon, Petite Oval Nesties, Charm Flower
COLORING MEDIUM (if any): Copics
***************************************************************************************************

I decided to go with a much different color scheme for my second card. When I was done, I decided it was definitely a holiday looking card. I think it would be just fine to send a red pansy card for the holidays instead of, let's say a holly image. You can let me know if you agree or not :)

Now here is my hint for you. I could not find a piece of cardstock to match the green Copic marker I used for my leaves so all I did was cut my border with my nesty circle and color the edges with my copic. You can't even tell that it started out as a piece of white cardstock.

I also used the Swiss Dots embossing folder and then added my ribbon to tie up in what I consider a present design.

Recipe:

ALL CDSTAMPS LLC STAMP SETS USED: Pansy
CARDSTOCK AND PAPERS: White, Pure Poppy (Papertrey ink)
INKPADS:Memento Tuxedo Black
MARKERS: G17,G28,R59,R39,R29,Y17
ACCESSORIES AND EMBELLISHMENTS: Ribbon (Papertrey ink), Swiss Dots embossing folder, Small Inverted Circle Classic Nestabilities,
COLORING MEDIUM (if any): Copics
******************************************************************************************
My last 2 cards are from the set called Sweet Symphony and an individual stamp Sheet Music.

I love the look of having the black ink on white and vice versa. I thought the piano keys was perfect with the stamped background. Then I added some fun ribbon to it.

Recipe:

ALL CDSTAMPS LLC STAMP SETS USED: Sweet Symphony, Sheet Music
CARDSTOCK AND PAPERS: white, pure poppy (Papertrey ink)
INKPADS: Black (Close to my Heart), Pure Poppy, Fresh Snow (papertrey ink)
Markers: C-1, BV29
ACCESSORIES AND EMBELLISHMENTS: Ribbon, Petite Oval Nesty, Word Window Punch
COLORING MEDIUM (if any): Copics

My next card is a bit warmer in color and focuses on the violin image from the set. Again, I colored in my image with my Copics and other than that, the card is pretty cut and dried. Oh, also just got these butterfly shapeabilities and had to try them out.

Recipe:

ALL CDSTAMPS LLC STAMP SETS USED: Sweet Symphony
CARDSTOCK AND PAPERS: White, Chocolate (Papertrey ink), DP: Porcelain (Basic Grey)
INKPADS: Chocolate, Honey, tulip (Close to my Heart), Moss Green (papertrey ink) Memento Tuxedo Black

Clear Dollar Stamps Sneak Peek #2 - Post 3

Post 3 Today - New Release Sneak Peeks for Clear Dollar Stamps - available for purchase on August 1st!

These are my last sneak peeks for you today... are you tired yet? This last set is another fun one and gives me just a teeny, tiny twinge wishing I had a little girl. But don't worry, the twinge doesn't last long at all. I'll stick with my boys!

Anyway, this set is called Bee-utiful Ballerina and is another fun, whimsical set. I colred her in with Copics and then created my own designer paper for my background. I seriously love stamping my backgrounds. It is just plain fun.

I also have a close-up of the dew drops I used. I attached them onto my card with some Fruit Punch Stickles. There are so many uses for stickles and my only wish is that I had more colors. Anyway, the stickles look beautiful under these clear dew drops and add the perfect sparkly touch to the card.











************************************************************************************************
My next project using this stamp set is a small journal that I created using some 4x4 coasters. I used some Close to my Heart designer paper and just used regular adhesive to put it together. I also used my Bind it All to bind it. I love this little sentiment from the stamp set and thought it would be perfect for a little inspriational journal. And finally, I stamped some images in the corners of each page for some fun inside the journal.


















Thanks for stopping by!

Clear Dollar Stamps - Sneak Peek #2 - Post 2

Post 2 Today - New Release Sneak Peeks for Clear Dollar Stamps - available for purchase on August 1st!

This next stamp set I'm sharing is called Sails, Subs, and Tugs and is super cute. I had a lot of fun creating my samples with this set. This first card uses the "tug" portion of the set. I colored the tug in with my Copics and then added a little bit of detail with some white embossing for the life preservers and the foam for the water.

Other than that the card is pretty cut and dried. I used an EK Success border punch for the red cardstock and a Spellbinders Nestability for the mat.


My next card takes advantage of the "sail" part of this stamp set. For this card, I chose more of a "sea" colored theme. I used some Close to my Heart designer paper, Copics to color in my image and of course nesties to cut it out. I also did some stitching and some distressing with my scissors. Don't look to closely at the circular stitching... ack!

Clear Dollar Stamps Sneak Peek #2 -- Post 1

Good morning everyone. Yay, I have samples to share with you today. Remember that Lori at Clearly iStamp has the full reveals of today's and yesterday's sneak peeks. The stamps being released today are Bee-utiful Ballerina, Angel Ballerina, Sails Subs & Tugs, and Nice Neighborhood.

The first stamp set that I'll be sharing with you is called Nice Neighborhood. I love house stamps and this is will be one that will work for all sorts of occasions. It is a great one for coloring or paper piecing, which is what I did here. I stamped on the blue cardstock and cut the main house out. Then I stamped again and used my Copics to color in the rooftop and the windows. The windows are popped off the card with dimensionals.

I added some stitching on the ribbon and in between the strips of ribbon as well as on the edges of the card. Did you notice how cute that paper is?

My next card uses the same stamp set, but the moving truck image. I thought I would make a completely different type of card and created a boy's card with it. This set is quite versatile.

I colored the trucks in with Copics and paired it with some nice bold paper and ribbon.

Don't forget that this is only one of three posts today so make sure to check out all the sneak peeks.

Clear Dollar Stamps Sneak Peek #1

Hi friends... its the beginning of the Clear Dollar Stamps sneak peeks. Everything you see from here on out will be available on August 1st... can I just cry here... I can't believe it is nearly August... yikes!

Anyway, I don't have any sneak peeks of my own to share with you today, but I do have a list of the stamps and links to where you can see some gorgeous samples. If you go to Lori's blog (Clearly iStamp) you can see the full sets there, plus some great samples.

Before I get to my list, I thought I would share some 3x3 cards that I had made for a PCP Color Challenge that I just never got posted. Time has a way of just slipping by, doesn't it?















So without further ado here are the stamps being previewed today:

Under the Sea, Bitty Bots, Hanging Out, and Charlie Tweens

Guest Design Team Member Spot and Craft Critique

Hi Everyone! Just a couple of quick notes for you. First, Lori has her post up for the Clear Dollar Guest Design Team Member spot. This would be for the month of August. CLICK HERE to check out the details. Remember, if you don't try you won't know.





***********************************************************************************************

My other note is about Craft Critique. Sarah and reporters are at CHA and you should keep tabs on the blog for updates, pictures, and even some prizes.

Its Monday and another TaDa Creative Studios Sneak Peek

Hi Everyone! Phewww... it is hot in the Pacific Northwest. Let me tell you we are babies when it comes to the heat. Supposedly its supposed to get even hotter throughout this week. I am going to try and move as little as possible!

Well, if you haven't noticed... many in blog land are making their way to CHA in Orlando. Sadly, I won't be there, although I don't relish the heat that everyone will deal with in Florida. My grandparents used to live there and we always managed to visit them during the summer and I remember getting off the airplane and literally walking into a wall of humid heat - GROSS!

Anyway, Annette and Mary of TaDa Creative Studios are making their way there and will have a booth. You should go visit and check out their new lines they are introducing. You can see those HERE. I'm excited, I'll even have some of my projects there using their fabulous papers (excited).

BUT... the whole point of today's post is to share some new product that they are introducing:

Here is a blurb straight from the TaDa Blog:

My Scraptopia is a chipboard house frame that can be covered with patterned paper or painted to create any virtual space you can dream! Designed to keep kids busy while Mom scraps, the little ones will love building their very own room, shop, or even a town! And it can all be done with Mom’s scrap leftovers, or papers of their choosing. These chipboard structures can be hinged together to create an entire scrap street or backed up to one another, creating an even larger house with a pass-thru doorway. It’s a sure bet Mom may even want her own!

This product is a great pairing with our Abode a la Mode patterned paper collection. See samples below.

Coordinating family and furniture sets will be sold separately.

Doesn't this look cool? Mary and Annette said that this is just the tip of the iceberg... how exciting!

Thanks for stopping by and make sure to come back a lot this week. Off to the last week of swimming lessons.

Papertrey ink Blog Hop and Limelight Papercrafts Sketch Challenge

ETA... I realized after looking at other posts that I was dreaming this challenge. Its not distress... its text... so.... I either read this on a different blog hop, can't read, or can read and need help with comprehension, or a other multitude of other issues that I won't get into and of course I figured it after the fact...duh!!! Does the sentiment count as text??

So, my apologies for making up my own challenge (hehe)

Wow... its been a while since I was able to play along with the Papertrey ink Blog Hop, but things aligned and I already had all the materials on hand, so I'm excited that I have something to share this time around.

I also got double duty from this one and I loosely followed a really cute sketch that Mandy has up for the Limelight Sketch and Product Challenge. The focus there was sentiments and I love this sentiment from my newest stamp set from Papertrey.

I used is my very newest set called In Bloom and since I hadn't been able to get the set called Friends til the End, I jumped on the chance to pick this $15 set.

The challenge for the Blog Hop was all about distress. I started with some Dark Chocolate Cardstock and then layered some Melon Berry, which I stamped with one of the flowers, and then flanked that with some patterned paper from Green Tea Leaves. I think that patterned paper is my all time favorite.

I then did some stitching, and used duo distress inks and then scissors to rough up all my edges. The inks are wonderful to work with and I highly recommend them.

Finally, I layered my sentiment, added some PTI chocolate buttons and matching ribbon. I love how this card turned out and I hope you do to.

Thanks for visiting and have a great night.

PCP Clear Dollar Stamps Color Challenge - 2nd post

Hi everyone. I have another challenge to post today. This one is a color challenge you can find over Papercraft Planet. This is a great way to get your Clear Dollar Stamps out and have some fun. Cassie is the hostess for this weekend and she has picked out some bright and fun colors for you. They are:

• Basic Gray (or a dark gray)
• Bermuda Bay (or a teal)
• Only Orange (or a bright orange)
• White (neutral)

My gray is minimal, but its in there. I chose this really cute Charlie image (Charlie Fenced In) and paired it with a sentiment from a different Charlie set (Charlie Gets Giddy). I do end up mixing and matching a lot of my Clear Dollar Sets.

I used a cuttlebug embossing folder and then brayered it with orange ink. I also cut a separate fence and used pop dots to "pop" it out. Ribbon is some American Crafts that I got and the label is a Spellbinders tag set.

Thanks for visiting again!

Stamp Something Challenge Time

Hi everyone! Happy Friday! Well guess what! Are you liking my staccato sentences (lol). It is Friday, which means that its a new Stamp Something Challenge. This week's challenge is Bugs, Butterflies, and Things with Wings.

My card today uses a digital Little Miss Bitty image from Fred She Said who is sponsoring this coming weeks challenge. What a cutie huh? Had lots of fun with her.

I paired her with the new June Bug Basic Grey paper and some new flower shapabilties from Spellbinders that I just got. I have to say that the only reason I wanted these flowers was because of my fellow CDstamps DT member Tori Wilde.

Remember, you've got all week to play. Thanks for coming by and visiting.

Some more TaDa... a barnyard card

Hi everyone! I have a couple of cards to share with you today using a soon to be released line of paper from TaDa Creative Studios called EIEIO. What a cute name huh? I just adore this paper, it is absolutely the cutest ever.

This first card was created by using a portion of one of the scrapbook papers. TaDa papers are double sided and a nice weight.

All I did was take the existing design and cut to fit my 6x6 card. I then stitched along the existing color division and along the edges too.

I then accented the wheels with miscellaneous buttons and love how they turned out.

The sentiment is from a Close to my Heart set of mine.

This next card turned out so cute... quite pleased with it. I have lots of pictures of this one. The foundation of this card is from the Fiddle Dee Frame card kit. The kit includes 8 card bases, frames, and envelopes. Here is a picture of the front of the card. I traced the frame on some matching cardstock and then distressed the edges just a tad. I did the same thing with the front of the card.

The cards are tri-fold so I decided to glue the front and middle sections of the card together along the sides and bottom to create a pocket for my bookmark.

Inside of the card (cards are 5 x 7)

And matching envelope.


Thanks for visiting and have a great Wednesday ---ack--- where is the time going :)

Papercraft Planet (PCP) Color Challenge Featured Card

Hi everyone! Thanks to everyone that was able to participate in this past weekends color or lack of color challenge. If you didn't get a chance to play along, don't worry, there will be another one next weekend.

Everyone did a great job with the challenge and because we had a light group this past weekend, I decided to link all the participants.

You can see Tricia's card HERE... simply elegant.
You can see Christi's card HERE... ooohhh the shimmer
You can see Grace's card HERE... simply purrrfect
You can see Pamela's card HERE... so blissfully peaceful
You can see Carol's card HERE... so light and fluttery
You can see Cassie's card HERE... so chillingly beautiful

And my choice of featured card is Gloria's card. I have to say that all the ladies did a fantastic job with the color challenge. We all had a very dominant theme in most of our cards and that is that WHITE is a great way to use those embossing folders. So the reasoning for my choosing Gloria's card specifically didn't have anything to do with colors but rather something completely different.

I chose Gloria's card for purely selfish reasons. I loved how she was able to incorporate your sentiment on the front of her card in such a unique way.

This can sometimes be the hardest thing to do and I often leave my sentiments off until the very last thing and then I am often at a loss as to how to balance it after I've created a balanced (what I think is balanced) card front with the main image and elements. Very clever Gloria.

I'd like to thank Gloria and all the other participants for playing along.

Remember, come join us next week.

PCP Weekend Clear Dollar Color Challenge - 2 posts today

2nd post today :) This one is for the color challenge that I posted over at Papercraft Planet. You've got all weekend to do it and I made it easy or hard depending on how you look at it (lol). CLICK HERE to get to the challenge link with all the details.

This weekend's color challenge is really a lack of color. Your job is to come up with a all or mostly WHITE card. I've seen other challenges like this, but haven't had a chance to participate and have always loved the result. Who doesn't love the look of clean white on white.

As soon as I thought white, the May Flower of the Month stamp set (Lily of the Valley) came to mind. If you are a regular, you know I already did a card using this stamp set and Flower Soft, but I just couldn't resist. This particular stamp is the perfect match for the Flower Soft. I used the Ivory for today's card.

I did use some color on my stamp for the foliage, but kept everything else white. I also used C-1 Copic marker to ink around the edges of all my cut cardstock... just that little something. Then I added several different types of white ribbon. I used some white crochet ribbon, some luxurious white satin ribbon and then topped it off with some sheer sparkly ribbon. Oh, and don't forget about my embossed background with the Swirls Cuttlebug folder.

I left off any sentiment and to be honest, I sometimes find it hard to add that sentiment on the front so I'll just write my own note inside.

Thanks for coming to visit or coming back and I hope you can squeeze in this challenge this weekend.



PS... I've got another tutorial up at Clearly iStamp. Its a little fun Favor Box.

Stamp Something Challenge - its Sketch time

Hi friends... Happy Friday to you! With that said, Friday is the release of a new challenge opportunity for you at Stamp Something Challenge Blog. This next week's challenge is sponsored by a very cool guy name Dustin Pike. If you haven't seen his images, then you are in for a treat and the CHALLENGE for this week is a sketch provided by our very own Denise :)

Oh, one more thing too. Dustin has free digi images every single week. How cool is that... as I and friends that I know say "free is for me".

For my card today, I picked the Skate Dragon image to create my card with. This is a digital image, just so you know.

I have to admit that I didn't follow the sketch super well... but the premise is there. I hope you all will forgive me (hehe).


I printed out my image on my laser jet printer and then grabbed some Basic Grey Lime Rickey paper and some Copic markers to match. As soon as I saw this image, my first thought was that Basic Grey line. Its bold and bright, but I love it!

I kept the rest of them embellishments to a minimum and just used those bold eyelets.

I didn't have a good stamp to much so I just hand wrote the word Dude. Don't ask me if that is the right word to use with a skateboarding dinosaur, but I did so hopefully I haven't broken any skateboarding code. My boys aren't old enough to know (hehe).

Thanks so much for stopping by and be sure to stop by the other DT members for some fabulous eye candy. You've got an entire week to play along so make sure you do. You will the prize.

Have a great Friday!
