Sir Dustan

We now have in the new Dustin Pike stamps. All these images are so Cute!!! I used paper from October Afternoon in the background and then I used the green crinkle paper for the ground for these guys to stand on. The double sided ribbon is from May Arts and the sentiment is stamped on a spellbinder label. The images were colored with Copic marker to match the paper. Then I added a little distress ink around the edges and the scuffed up the edges to make it looked a little burnt and rough like the dragon had a little fun! I made this for my son's 16th birthday. The stamp is called Sir Dustin and my son's name is Dustan...what a perfect fit!

Copic Markers.......Now What?

Now that you have a nice little (or big {grin}) supply of Copic Markers, wouldn't you like to use them for more than just coloring images in? Join me for my Copic Marker Technique class where you will learn three different Copic techniques: Color Outside the Lines, Copic Stone and Airbrush Marker Omit. Class will be held on Wednesday, February 24th from 6-8pm. Preregistration is required--so, stop in today and reserve your spot!

See you soon!

Mojo Challenge #125

Brand New!!...Just arrived... Sizzix Textured Impression plates! We have all 6 of the new Textured Impressions here at The Stamp Shoppe. I am using the Birthday #3 set here for the Mojo Monday challenge this week. The background was used on the teal paper and then sanded down. The Happy Birthday label was also from this set. I brayered dye ink on the folder, then embossed it in my machine. I cut it out and used it for my decorative label. It worked perfect with this sketch! I then cut a hole for the cow from Stamp Shoppe Creations to peek through. Then I stamped the party hat, cut it out, colored it, then put it on the cow's head (since this is a birthday card!) Come in and check out the folders. They all are really neat!

You're One in a Melon

I am doing two challenges today!! First I used the sketch #88 from Friday Sketchers and then used the Spots and Dots theme from the Cute Card Thursday Challenge. Did I ever use dots!! Starting with the background paper from Cloud 9 there were dots galore. Then the dot ribbon from Bo Bunny and also the pink cardstock with the swiss dot cuttlebug folder. I cut out the circle with the Nestabilities. Then I airbrushed the background sky and grass. After the girl was stamped, I colored her with Copics and cut her out. I popped her on the circle.

Love Bear-eth All Things

Now that I have my latest edition of the Technique Junkies Newsletter, I can barely step away from my stamp desk!! I whipped up this cute card, with Stamp Shoppe Creation images, using the Mono Dies technique. I love it when a new technique breathes new life into supplies I already own--don't you?

I hope you're all having a wonderful, sunny day!
TTFN, Jane

Midnight Madness Challenge #39

Here's doing a Tuesday challenge on Wednesday... the Midnight Madness Challenge! I used the Heart scallop Nestabilities for the heart shape in the middle and layering it with the Sizzix heart die. I added some white dots with my gel pen to make the heart more elegant. I stamped the Love turtle from Stamp Shoppe Creations and colored him with Copics to match the Background paper from Cloud 9. Then I popped the turtle with the shell matching up with the curve of the heart. I then added some flowers, heart pins, corners, ribbons and pearls for all the extra embellishments. Here's to a little lovin'!

Mojo Monday #125

I am finally back!! I have been so busy that I have missed out on these fun challenges. I hope I am pretty well caught up on store business and can have a little fun again. Valentine's day will be here soon, so I wanted to do a little LOVE card. I used Bo Bunny paper for the background paper and matching colors for the matting. I cut out the chipmunk in the Hot air balloon and popped him out. Then I used some dew drop hearts from Cloud 9 on the side. I added some distress touches to match with the distress look of the paper. Love is in the air!!
