Skate on!


This busy boy is from KLM Designs.  I think it's so hard to find cute, cool images for the fellas!  This one is colored with copic markers.  The paper is Debbie Mumm (I *think) from JoAnn's.  The corner punch is Paper Shapers.  I added a few Dew Drops on each corner piece.  I did not add a sentiment to the face of this card since I thought it was pretty busy as is....there's plenty of  room inside!

Pucker up!

 This stamp is such fun to work with !  I cut off his crown so he looks more realistic.  He is painted with twinkling h2o's by Luminarte.  I added some Stickles for his warts and a little crystal effects here and there on the lines.  The background is alcohol inks on glossy paper.  The middle section is filled with Dew Drops in sunflower.  I used scor-tape under them in 3 rows.  The Kiss Me sentiment I stamped first in Staz On, but it wasn't dark enough so I went over it with a Pigma pen.  I still wasn't happy with them, so I topped them with crystal effects.  It gave them the dimension I was after.  I just love this card!  The frog stamp is by Dog Gone Stamps and you can find it here.   I hope you enjoy him!

Project Tuesday Origami Box




I admit it, I didn't stamp one thing for this, but I got to working on it and was on a roll!  This could really be neat paired with a matching card as a wedding gift!  Anyway!  This is Project Tuesday for today!  The tutorial for the origami box can be found here.  The ribbon flowers are really simple, and finished it off just perfect I think.  I found the video tutorial here.  I love seeing how things are folded rather than just reading them sometimes!  All of my paper is by Stampin Up.  The ribbon on the boxes is from Michaels, sheer creations.  The top roses are not really a fabric ribbon, but a paper one.  I found it at Michael's too.  It's by Paper Reflections.  For the large center rose I used the full width, for the two small ones I cut it in half.  The leaves are also from Michael's and they're by Prima.  Some are textured, some are just paper.  I also added in a few strings of tiny pearls for some shimmer.  I had a blast creating this!  Hope you enjoy today's project!

Elegant Geisha


I know I always say how much fun I had creating "this card" and "that card", but THIS one was even more fun!  The challenge was to color her well.  Black hair is hard to color, well it is for me at least.  I was happy with how her hair turned out.  The image is from I Break for Stamps and you can see it here.  I love the origami paper with any Asian image.  This particular paper is from Michael's.  It's a little more expensive, but adds a great deal to the art I think.  The little coin was in my stash, I think it was from a pair of shoes or something.  I knew it would come in handy somewhere!  Enjoy!

You've Got Mail!

This pretty mailbox is from today's new release at KLM Designs! Be sure to stop by and see what's new! I really like this image since it's so versatile. I colored it with my copic markers, used my nesties to cut it and the scalloped oval. The pretty paper I just got at Michaels and the flowers are simply cut out from a scrap of the same page. It's the English Garden collection by Making Memories. I am thrilled to be on the DT at KLM and hope you run by to see their awesome stuff soon!

Cupcake Box


This is one of the projects I made for the Stampin Out Alzheimer's event last week. It was a free template from The Digichick (link here but it's not a freebie anymore sorry). I was really pleased with how it turned out. It was pretty easy too once I got my silly printer to work on the sparkly paper! I even won $10 in digital downloads with my entry~it was a random one but still! Just wanted to share it with you all!

Seeing Double!


These seahorses are from the Mermaid set at Fred She Said Designs.  You can see the entire set here.  These are digital stamps and lots of fun to play with!  I colored my seahorses with twinkling h2o's by Luminarte.  I gave them some sparkle with Stickles.  The cute sea theme paper is by Doodlebug Designs.  Enjoy!

It's all about dessert!

Isn't she a cutie! She's "Karah's Cupcake" from KLM Designs upcoming release! She and 3 sentiments all come together! They are digistamps so you can print them out any size and as many times as you want! I always thought paper piecing would be out of the question with digistamps, but I proved myself wrong. I just cut the image away from the background and inserted two different papers for the table and wallpaper behind her. The cupcake is topped with crystal effects to make that chocolate look shiny. The cherry is a little Dew Drop. I colored the image with Copics. Her cheeks are a soft blush from a little chalk! Be sure to hit KLM Designs on the 8th to see all the cute new images!

Can you say Bee U T ???

Is she not a hottie? I am just astounded by these stamps! They look just like photos! All I did to this one was add some color to her lips, skin, and clothes. The sentiment and stamp are by I Brake for Stamps and can be seen here. The other ladies on the sheet are just as stunning!
Thanks for looking!

Jenn did a great job with her directions! The stamps I used are by Stamps and Smiles. I just love those cupcakes!
