 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:

Sitting Angel Tilda

 Hi Everyone.  I am here on this fabulous Friday with my first post as a DT member at The Rubber Buggy.  I am thrilled to be here. I was sent a wonderful assortment of products that are in the Store.

Here is my first 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 stamped her a second time to create a mask so I could stamp the Bench for her to sit one.  I then colored Tilda in using copics.   I used a die and cut her out. I also added a border that was punched using a border punch.  I attached some ribbon and a bow and a charm. I also added some Prima roses in a teal and white..

A closer look at my colored image:

Copics used E11, E00, E000, R20, E47, E44, E43, E42, E40, BG72, BG10, BG0000, E27, E25, E23, E21, C3, C1, C0

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!!!!!

Toread's Just For You

Happy Friday Everyone!!!!  I am here today on this fabulous Friday, to show you some more inspiration using the new "Toreads" stamps.  I used "Comge" and a sentiment "Just For You". 

I made a pocket card today.  Directions below.  I stamped my image onto Premium White Card Stock  and colored it in using my Spectrum Noir markers.  The colors I used were: GT3, GT2, GT1, FS9, FS6, FS4, GB`0, GB7, IG1, IG2. I fussy cut my colored image so I could pop her up on my card front.

 And a closer look at my colored image:

Here is what the inside looks like:

To make this pocket card, you will need a piece of card stock 6 x 12.  You will score at 3 1/2 and again at 7 1/2.  You will fold on the score lines and fold both in.  Next, you need to cut the back flap at an angle so you can form a pocket.  Next, place some 1/4" Super Strong Double-Sided Permanent Adhesive Tape along the bottom of the back flap and along the short side.  This will create the pocket.  I used a border punch on the front flap and also took some teal card stock and punched it as well so I could layer it on top of the first punched border.  I added some sheer white dotted ribbon around the teal punched CS and also a bow.  

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

Don't forget about the challenge going on at the Challenge Blog of Fall colors.  So get out those Crafter's Companion products and let's see what you can do with this challenge!!!

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

Totally Stampalicious Anything Goes

Today's Challenge was supposed to introduce a few new Halloween Stamps, but the stamps didn't get here in time for us to use them.  So look for some new Halloween Stamps next year.  But I was told I could use the card that I already had made.  I used a digital image from Bugaboo called Bobblehead Witch, this is the digital version of one of the stamps.  So here it is:

I created a pocket card today.  Here is a picture of the inside:

To make this card you need a piece of cardstock that is 6 x 12 and you need to score it at 3 1/2 and again at 7 1/2.  You fold both score lines in ward.  On the shorter side, you want to make a diagonal cut, but not all the way to the bottom.  You then want to put sticky tape along the bottom and again along the short side and stick to the back of the card to create your pocket.  On the edge of the front of the card, I used a border punch to create a punched border, you can also leave this straight if you would like.  I just wished I had some Halloween punches, unfortunately I don't, so I used a doily lace punch.  I also used the same punch and created another strip which I layered on top of the front of the card. I added some ribbon and a bow, then I attached my cut out colored image and sentiment.

Hope you will give it a try, it was a fun card to make. 

Until next Monday, Happy Stamping!!!!!!

Sparkle N Sprinkle October Sketch Challenge

Today is the 1st of October and that means a new Sketch Challenge at Sparkle N Sprinkle. I made a card using the sketch for the Sparkle N Sprinkle October challenge. You are welcome to join and you will be eligible to win a stamp set of your choice! You can see the challenge here. Here is the sketch and my card.

I used Sir Pengie from the Playful Pengies stamp set 438.  I also used Pengie Noel from the same stamp set.  Here is my card:

For the NOEL, I used a technique called "stamping on Glitter" which can be found HERE in the SNS Tips and Techniques section on the blog.  I used the "Sparkling Snow gllitter". It was a pretty fun thing to try and I think I will be doing alot more of stamping on glitter.  I also added glitter to the snowflake that Sir Pengie is holding.  Sir Pengie was stamped and colored 2 times using Copics. I fussy cut out one and popped him up on top of the other colored image to give my card some dimension. I added some ribbon and a bow to finish off my card. For all the specific details of how I made my card, you can go HERE. Hope you have enjoyed my card and have gotten a little bit of inspiration to try this technique.

So get out those SNS stamps or digi's and join in on the Sketch challenge.  Until next time.......

 Happy Stamping!!!!
