Shop Some More!

I just had to make one more of these cards! I'm loving the Fancy Pants paper with their fun colors and designs. I again colored the images with Copic Markers and then popped them up on foam tape for dimension.

TIP: Use the Copic Colorless Blender to give your images some added interest. I did on the sweater, skirt and her hat.

TIP: Use the Spica Glitter Pens to add some more fun interest. I colored the heart on the credit card and added a dotted design. I added coordinating spica accents on each of the shopping bags as well. Also I glitzed up her sunglasses! ~michelle~

Sometimes A Girl Has GOT to Shop!!

Sometimes a girl has to get out and have some retail therapy!! Whether it's at the mall, your favorite thrift store OR your *favorite* Stamp Shoppe! These stamps are a hoot to send to your girlfriend...invite her along for the fun!

The designer paper on this is Fancy Pants...what a fun color combo! The stamps are by Stampavie....so simple to color!

My hint: Use those Copics to make your own designs on plain images. I decorated my shopping bags and the purse with Copics and the Spica Glitter Pens!

Another hint: Use the Copic Airbrushing System Set to give your sentiments a touch of color.

One final hint: Cut out your images and pop them up on foam tape for some fun dimension on your cards!!! ~michelle~

Snowboarding!

Here is Heidi's version of the Snowboarding Girl by Penny Black! Amazing how color scheme and paper choices make an image look entirely different! Colored in Copics. Pieceing, scuffing, inking and faux stitching add lots of dimensional interest. Designer Paper is by Fancy Pants.

Fancy Pants Cheery Hello!

This card features Fancy Pants' Arctic Chill collection. The flowers are a Penny Black Stickeroo. We are in the midst of painting our half bath....and so I put to use a paint chip for my mat layers! I used a Marvy square scalloped punch to finish off my main image. The heart is from Cuttlebug....the set has a die cut and four embossing options. With Love is by Hero Arts. Various flowers and gems finish the card off. Thanks for stopping by! ~michelle~

It Bee Snowing & Blowing

A few post ago, you saw this stamp as one. I decided to add a twist and separate the componants of the stamp. I used the one bee and cut the hap-bee holidays sentiment off. The blowing swirls were part of the snowflake rub-ons we have at the Stamp Shoppe. They give the real feeling of cold. I used the rub-ons on the new Fancy Pants snow paper and used the snow background from cuttlebug. Adding a little glitter and small gemstones from Hero Arts complete the sparkling chill of snow. Even though it's cold outside, hopefully this card can warm your heart!!

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.

Happy Summer

I made 24 of these cards for my son's class. Am I crazy or what?? I have been volunteering and helping in the classroom and the kids made me a cute "Thank You" book. This was double sided paper from Fancy Pants. The swirls on the background were perfect for the water look. The colors were perfect with the Copic markers that I used. I love it when a card just falls together!! I printed the Happy Summer saying from my computer and made up a poem on the inside. Now to bake some cookies for them...I'm sure that is what they will like the best!
