Scrapy Land cards

I have a few cards to share with you today that I made for my Scrapy Land design team.

 

The first is this card I made with the Chalkboard Stamping Technique. I have a great tutorial on the blog about how to achieve this look and you can find it HERE.

 

I made this second card during We {heart} Stamps month on the Scrapy Land blog. For all the details on this card including products used, you can find my post HERE.

 

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a great day :)

SOUS Card Sketch: Feb 6-19th

Wow what a busy week for me! If you are looking for the Stuck on U Sketches Blog Hop click HERE and if you are looking for Sara's Birthday Blog Hop click HERE.

 

Now for today, we have the first February card sketch from SOUS. Check out this cute little sketch from Leah Schaeffer.

 

 

Since the card sketch was so long and skinny I went out of my box and made a card to fit in a Legal sized envelope (4 1/8 x 9 1/2).  

 

 

I further went out out of my comfort zone with the style of this card. It is a lot more romantic and vintage looking than I typically do but I had this beautiful collection from Basic Grey called Serenade and it worked perfectly!

 

 

I used Distress ink around the edges of the card to add to the soft vintage feel. I created the splotches of ink by rubbing some of the distress ink on my craft mat. I then got a paint brush dripping with water and got the ink wet. I filled the brush with the watered down ink and flicked it onto the paper to get the spots.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope you will join us and play along with our challenge for your chance at being featured on the SOUS blog as one of our Top 3! Link up your card here.

 

Have a great day!
I love to read your kind comments

My Creative Sketches: October Sketch

Hooray for sketch release day!! Today I get to share the new October sketch from My Creative Sketches with you. This months challenge is brought to you by Kim Keane...

 

 

And here is my take on the sketch....

I have had this line of Christmas papers from Basic Grey forever and I've never used any of it, so I figured I'd break into it.
 

 

I used these cute little Christmas lights I got from the dollar store  a loooong time ago. I've never used them either, but I guess that is why I hold on to everything...one day you might need it :)

 

Another older item I dug out of my stash was these snowflakes printed on acetate from Heidi Swapp. I love using up old stuff!

I cut out one of the little ornaments from the patterned paper and popped it up to give some dimension, but it might be a bit difficult to see in this pic.


Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you'll join us by linking up your layouts HERE. You have until November 14th to play along.

Have a great day

Guest Designer at OCS!

I am so thrilled to be one of the guest designers at One Crazy Stamper blog this month! They have a great Canadian store and for all my Canadian friends, really great prices on Copics!

I am loving 6x6 paper pads right now! especially for cards since the patterns are scaled down from the regular 12x12 size and it makes them just perfect! I used two different 6x6 pads for my OCS cards today.

The other thing I am loving are the Lulu stamps from Kraftin Kimmie! This little chick is soooooo adorable, I want all of her images. They carry the Lulu stamps and many others from Kraftin Kimmie in the OCS store, you should check 'em out! I used the Lulu set called Lulu on the Move.

First up I used the Fabulous 6x6 pad from Simple Stories

OCS product used: Copics- skin: E000, E00, E11, R20. hair: E31, E33, E35, E37, BG10, BG11, BG13. skates: R81, R83, C0, C1, C3. ground: W00, W1, W3. outline: BG0000 Lulu Stamps: Lulu on the Move; Simple Stories Fabulous 6x6 paper pad (FAB2101) This & That Graceful Asst Brads (THG27020) Buttons Asst Pink (SE026F) Maya Road Twine Pink Lemonade (TC2054) Memento Tuxedo Black Ink (M900) Scor Pal Tape 1/8 (201) Scor Pal Tape 1/4 (202) Glue Dots 3/16 Mini Sheet; Small 3D Foam Squares (01612) Large 3D Foam Squares (01610) Misc products used: Photo corners, Amy Tangerine/AC ribbon, doodlebug border sticker.

I stamped Lulu right on to one of the little journaling spots that comes in the SS 6x6 pad. I wasn't sure how my Copics would color on that paper, but it turned out really good I think. I used the tiny patterns from the pad to paperpiece her dress.

For my second card I used the What's Up 6x6 pad from Basic Grey.

OCS product used: Copics- skin: E000, E00, E11, R20. hair: E31, E33, E35, E37, BG10, BG11, BG13. shoes: BG10, BG11, BG13, hoop: BV00, BV02, BV04. ground: W00, W1, W3, W5; Lulu Stamps: Lulu on the Move; Basic Grey What’s Up 6x6 paper pad (WHA3713) Memento Tuxedo Black Ink (M900) Scor Pal Tape 1/8 (201) Scor Pal Tape 1/4 (202) Glue Dots 3/16 Mini Sheet; Misc products: buttons, photo corners, circle punch

I'm really happy with how this one came together. Again, I paperpieced her dress, and I'm just loving the little banners! That and the hoola-hoop really give this card a party feel!

Well, that's it for me today, thanks for stopping by!

Every Saturday I can head out to our local market (which is only half a block from my house) and get my cupcake fix. Don't tell my mom, but sometimes I even have one for a special weekend breakfast ;)
