Witching You

Today I have my first card for the Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps Design Team.  I am excited for this awesome opportunity.  Thanks so much Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps!!!!   My card today uses the
Fall Scalloped Ovals 2 stamp set  and the Scalloped Ovals die. Take a peek at the new stamps that are in the store right now!!!!

Here is my card:




My card is pretty simple today.  Card base is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. Then I used some purple for the back layer, and some orange for the layer on top of that and finally my top layer is some DP that I had in my stash.  I added some orange web ribbon with a bit of purple ribbon layered on top and a pretty bow made from the orange web ribbon with a sparkly brad holding it together. To create my Scalloped Oval, I used my die cut machine and cut out the die using some white card stock.  I then put the stamp onto my block and stamped the oval frame and then stamped the sentiment at an angle inside the Oval frame.  I added my stamped scalloped Oval using some pop dots and finally I added 2 brads to the top corners.  Hope you like it!!!!!



Until Next time,  Happy Stamping!!!!!

A Christmas Wish

Hi Everyone!!!  I am here today on this wonderful Friday with a little Inspiration.  I thought I would share a card I made with you today.

 I used a stamp from the Mulberry Woods Christmas called "Winter Wonderland". Check out this really great selection of stamps, you will want them all.

Here is my finished card:


 I stamped my image 2 times and colored both using the Spectrum Noir Markers. These are some really great markers at a really great price.  Check out the whole range of colors..... I used one of my dies and cut out one of the colored images. I used IG10, IG8, IG6, GG2, DG3, GB10 to color my images.



I then fussy cut out the one of the panda's from one of my colored images and popped them up on top of the other colored image to give it a bit of dimension.  I added some ribbon and a bow.  My sentiment is also from this stamp set. I attached all to the card base that was embossed with a 6x6 Diesire Regal Frame embossing folder.  For the final touch, I added some Stickles to make the snow sparkly.


Keep checking  Crafter's Companion  for the new releases that are happening all the time.

See you all next Friday with another creation, until then, Happy Stamping!!!!!

Merry Christmas

 Hi Everyone.  I am here on this fabulous Friday with my post for The Rubber Buggy, to show you some more inspiration using some wonderful stamps and products from the Store. Today I used Magnolia Dancing With Stars Tilda.

Here is my project:




My card is 6" square.  I started out with a piece of card stock that was 6 x 12 and scored it at 6 and folded along the scored line.  I stamped my image using Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto some Cryogen CS.  I then colored Tilda in using copics.   I used a die and cut her out and for a mat behind her.  I added some lace and ribbon. For the finishing touch, I added some  Magnolia Shabby Chic Chandelier Garland Red and paper flowers and a charm, which will soon be available in the store.

A closer look at my colored image:


Copics used E11, E00, E000, R20, E27, E25, E23, E21, C3, C1, C0, G28, G24, G21, R27, R24, R22

I had fun creating this card because Tilda is what got me started in stamping and using Copics.  I am so glad to be able to create some great projects using some great products.  Check out the STORE to see what is available. 

See you all back next Friday with some more inspiration.  The challenge blog will soon be up and running, so keep checking back to see what awesome challenges we have in store for you all.....

Happy Stamping!!!!!

Happy Thoughts

Today, I have a card I made that uses some stamps and products from Sparkle N Sprinkle. 
I used a few stamps from the "Thoughtful Frames" stamp set 436. The Square Swirl Frame and the Happy Thoughts sentiment. I used some Guava Nectar glitter from Sprinkle N Sparkle.  I created a mitered frame using a border punch.  On top of that I cut out a mat from Spellbinders Labels 3. I then die cut out a square from Spellbinders Classic Squares and I stamped my Swirl Frame using the Essentials Glue Pad and sprinkle with Guava Nectar glitter.  I then stamped the sentiment in the center of the Swirl frame using Shades Dye ink in Rustic.
Here's a closer peek:

 Once dry, I assembled my card.  I attached the mitered frame to my card base, then on top of that I added some lace and ribbon that coordinates with my card stock.  I then attached my Labels 3 using pop dots and then I attached the Square with sentiment on top of Labels 3.  I added a few pearls and a bow.

Check out the Sparkle N Sprinkle Challenge Blog for an awesome challenge. 

Until next Week, Happy Stamping!!!!!!

Sweet Stamps Altered Item

Today our challenge at Sweet Stamps blog is to alter an item. This is an awesome challenge, we want to see what you come up with for this theme. Can't wait to see what you all can come up with, but be sure to use a Sweet Stamps stamp....

Anyone can enter, but if you use a Sweet Stamps rubber stamp you get two entries into the challenge for a chance to win a $20 shopping spree. Visit the design team blog and you will see what everyone on the Design team has done.

 Here is my altered project.

 I kinda didn't alter an item, but made an item.  I made a hinged box and decorated it using "Quilted Bunny" and "Quilted Frame".  I stamped my images onto white CS and colored them in using Copics.  I added some button fringe around my box.

Here is a picture of the side of my box, check out the awesome button edging I found and see the dimension of my box:

Here's a closer peek at my colored images:
