Sneak Peak with MMSC#35

We have some new Valentine, Easter, Baby and More Stamp Shoppe Creations Stamps. I will be having sneak peaks for the next week, so be sure to see what's new!! I used the sketch from the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge for this baby card. This also fits for the Cute Card Thursday Challenge. We were to use some thing new. Since this is Hot off the Press, I figured it would work!! I decided to do a baby card, because I had these darling pacifiers from Dress it Up that I wanted to use as my embellishment. Then the rest fell into place. I used the Special Delivery stamp from Stamp Shoppe Creations and colored it with copics. To create the illusion of be popping off the page, I colored with the G000 Copic around the whole image. I chose some Cosmo Cricket paper for the dp.

Mr. Frost Sends Snowy Greetings!

It's raining here today....but if it were a bit colder we'd be seeing the white stuff! I just love large Mr. Frost....he's adorably cute and perfect to send Snowy Greetings to someone you know! Copics and Spica glitter pens are all you need to dress him up! Use your paper scuffer to distress the edges for a fun frosty feel! Glitter dots from Dress It Up! will add some glitz to your snowflakes!

Pop down to the Stamp Shoppe and check out all of the new images from Stamp Shoppe Creations and Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!!

Sneak Peak #4

Here's a sample of the kids from the new Stamp Shoppe Creations line!! I colored this image with the Copic Markers. With hair, you can use a feathering technique that makes the hair look more streaky. I added some Prima flowers and a glitter bug from Dress It Up to use a few embellishments. The stamps will be here later than we expected. There have been a few learning experiences for us with making stamps, but we will be sure to let you know when they arrive! It will be SOON though!

Happy Haunting

This little bee is dressed up for Halloween. What a cute stamp from Whippersnapper. The image is colored with Copics and highlighted with a white gel pen and blinged with the Spica pens. Background Halloween paper is from Bo Bunny. Extra accents are made with the orange glitter dots and the distresser. Hope your day is Boo-tiful!!

It's your day!

Oops! I missed another birthday. My mother-in-law's birthday was friday and I didn't get a card out on time...the story of my life. Anyway, I decided to use these old paper clip dies from sizzix and make my card around it! These dies are old, but new to me. I thought the circle topper was perfect for my birthday sentiment. This "stuffed" bear is from Whippersnapper and with the large white space in the corner, it was perfect for my paper clip. Using a glitter star from Dress It Up, it added an embellishment in the center to add some pizzazz. Coloring with Copics (of course!) and white gel pen to add highlights. Now to get it in the mailbox, so I'm not any later :)

Cutie from High Hopes

These kids are sure cute from High Hopes. After coloring the girl, I colored the ground around her feet with gray, to give here something to stamd on. I used some Spica markers in the water that is in the bucket. I used the swirl die from Sizzix again. They are versatile! Make a border with the Fiskars scallop border punch and add some glitter dots. Hope this made you smile :)

Don't monkey around

Here is another Rachelle Anne Miller stamp from Stamp Avie. Her animals are sooo cute! After I colored these with the Copics, I used the star theme from the balloon and cut out some stars with the nestabilities. Some of the embellishments were the Glitter Dots from Dress it up and the Dew Drops from Robin's Nest. I folded up the Two-sided card stock and used some faux stitches to create a look of sewing it in place. There are many cute animals from Rachelle Anne, come in and check them out!

CUTE!

That's what I said when I saw this cutie!! Image is by Stamping Bella,I believe. She's colored in Copics and higlighted with a white gel pen. Dress it Up glitter dots bling it up a bit!

HINT: Use your Nestabilities in a whole new way.....make a frame...and then use it for and embellishment rather than a frame!! FUN!

Gorgeous Prima Flowers and doodling around the image finish the card! I stand by my original reaction...this is just CUTE!! ~michelle~

Birthday Bella!

Check out this little cutie from Stamping Bella! Nestabilities frame her so nicely.

HINT: Use different shapes of Nestabilities to make interesting frames for your images! It's fun to coordinate your frames with your designer papers!

Adhesive pears, glitter dots and prima flowers finish the card. ~michelle~

Stamping Bella Graduation Card

Another Stamping Bella image, they are so much fun to color!! A very simple card....used faux stitching and doodling, ribbon is by The Paper Studio and was perfect for the simple look of the card. The glitter dots are by Dress It Up! You may not be able to see it, but the roses, tassle and scroll are accented with Copic Spica Glitter pens. ~michelle~

Congrats!

I had the occasion to make a baby card...and I'm about 4 months late....so I decide to go for more of a *boy* card!

This little image is by High Hopes, colored with Copics and I highlighted the buckles and glass with Spica Glitter Pens. Designer Paper is by Cosmo Cricket....perfect with it's subtle woodgraining and distressing for a little boy...just ask me how I know!!

I'm not sure the company on the ribbon...but I know I got it at the Stamp Shoppe, and I need to get some more, I love it for little boy projects! The Rub-ons are by Making Memories, the brads by Dress It Up!

Stampavie Stamps are here!!

These little cuties are SO fun to color....this one is all decked out in her Copic duds with white gel pen accents! She is framed so cutely with a Nestabilities frame that has been enhanced with faux stitching! Cosmo Cricket designer paper gives a fun summery feel, as do the prima flowers and the glitter dots! I'm pretty sure she must know that it's going to hit 70* tomorrow, don't you think?! ~michelle~

Happy Birthday!

This little cutie is by Whipper Snapper, and is colored with Copic Markers and cut out. I popped him up on foam tape, and he is *standing* on the Birthday block. The shadow is sorta funky in this picture....but he looks like he's balancing on it in real life.

The birthday background is done with the Cuttlebug Embossing Folder. I inked the background with a white ink pad to make it *pop* out. The card is finished with Prima flowers, adhesive gems, ribbon and a glitter dot.

Born to be WILD!

Go Granny, GO! This granny has it all....style, bling, and she seems pretty fit!

Image is by Art Impressions and is colored with Copic Markers. Prima flowers, Dress It Up! glitter dots, Cuttlebug Paisley Embossing Folder and glitter paper make this very bling-y!

Knight in Shining Armor!

Take a peek at that mushy couple through the window! These adorable cards from Heidi Grace come flocked and with the window embossed and cut in them. The interior of the card is a coordinating pink. Heidi added some additional embossing with the Cuttlebug folder. The Glitter Flower is by Heidi Grace as well. The Glitter Dot from Dress It Up! is the perfect touch to finish the flower.

I will update this post soon with the stamp companies since I'm not sure.

Penny Black Stickeroos!

Penny Black's Stickeroos are just the ticket for a very classy card done quick! I used two of the eight stickers on the sheet and came up with two nice cards. The designer paper is by The Paper Loft. Just Because is by A Muse and is stamped in black Stazon ink. I layered the stickers on cardstock and then added the glitter dots for a bit of pizazz! I will be back with some more of these quick cards soon....how fun for a change of pace! ~michelle~

Some more Inky Antics!

Heidi beat me to making a card with this image....but I was working on this fun little feller too!
I colored him with Prismacolor pencils and odorless mineral spirits. His tummy is white flocking and his glass and ice cube are coated in Diamond Glaze. I used the Cuttlebug Snowflake Embossing Folder on vellum for a frosty look. The designer paper is Cloud9 Design. The glitter dots are by Dress It Up! and are available in various colors at The Stamp Shoppe.

Hope you are keeping warm and had a happy weekend! ~michelle~

Hap-bee Holidays!

These little bees are shivering in these Wisconsin temperatures.....but they're all decked out with flocked hats, and glittery wings. Copic At You Spica Glitter pens are used to glitz up the sentiment, their noses and antennae. Base Cardstock is Bazzill, designer paper is by Fancy Pants. Glitter dots are by Dress It Up! Art Institute's Pearlescent gliter has been added to the snowflake and *mountains* along the bottom of the card. The cut snowflakes are from another sheet of Fancy Pants designer paper. Faux stitching finishes off this untraditional holiday card.
