Frolicking Fairies

 The Stamping Boutique is sponsoring a challenge

at Charisma Cardz Challenges. The challenge

is Easel Cards.

I decided to take part in this challenge as I have

never made an easel card before and have

always wanted to try. Well I think my easel

card turned out pretty good, especially for 

a first time....

The image that I used is called "The Fairies Frolic"

and can be found in The Stamping Boutique store.

My image is printed onto Cryogen white Card stock and

colored with my copics.

Here's a close up of my image:

Here are the directions that I used to make my easel card:

I started with a piece of card stock 6" x 12".  I then

scored that piece at 6" and 3" and folded on the scored lines.

I also had a piece of card stock that was 6" square, this is

for my front of my card.  I took some score tape and put that

on the end 3" section and attached my 6" square to that.

Then decorate as you please.....

Here is a closer look at the front of my card:

Hope you will give it a try and join in the 

fun at Charisma Cardz Challenge for a chance to win

some really great prizes....

The Stamping Boutique Digi Day At PCP

 Today was The Stamping Boutique Digi Day

at PCP.  I was a bit late today, but I did get a 

card done for the Challenge #3.

If you want to check it out the details of the 

challenge, go HERE.

I used the Horseshoe image from The Stamping Boutique.

I printed out my image onto Cryogen White Card Stock

and colored it with my Copic Spica glitter pens. 

I wanted to make it kinda sparkly.

My card is pretty simple, at least for me, usually I 

add lots of embellies, but I'm still  not feeling 100%

yet with the new meds.  Hopefully, I'll be back

to my usual self and will have my crafting MOJO

back.

Here's a closer look at my colored image:

 Thanks for taking a look at my creation. I do

hope you will stop by The Stamping Boutique Challenge Blog

to see more great creations using these great images.

Spring Fever Blog Hop with The Stamping Boutique

We are hosting a "Spring Fever" blog hop this month ! We are
all sick of the snow and would love a little sunshine and flowers to pop in
so we decided to bring them on ourselves! And bring it we did!!

You'll have to make sure you hop to every design team blog.
Make sure you comment on EACH blog post for TSB to be eligible
for the prize, our 4 new spring images.

You will need to start at Amanda's blog and work your way through
the group! At The Stamping Boutique, there will be
an Inlinkz where you can post your comment after you have
completed the hop!! From this list, the winner will be chosen
randomly.

The hop will run from Saturday, February 19th 12AM EST
and you will have until Sunday, February 20th 6PM EST.
After that time, the comments will be tallied and the winner will be
randomly picked.

You should have came here from Dardi's blog, if not please
go back to the beginning of the hop, which is, Amanda's Blog.

Today I have used a digital image called "Bunny Egg".

I printed my digital image out onto Cryogen Card Stock and

colored it with my Copic Markers.  I cut around my

colored image, but left a little edge all the way around

it.  I took and folded up one corner of the background

paper and added a brad.  I then took and cut out 

a few of the Easter Eggs and added them to the

bottom right corner on the green card stock and also

right above the brad.  I then added a bow in the upper right

corner.  

We were challenged to use the following sketch for our card:

 I kinda flipped it around for my card.  I also left 

off the sentiment so that I can add it later if I want to.

Here is a close up of my image:

Isn't she cute???  There are so many cute 

images in The Stamping Boutique Store, so go check them

out, you'll be glad you did...

Now continue on the hop to Heide's Blog.....

Etsy Inspired Challenge - The Stamping Boutique

The Stamping Boutique is 

sponsoring the Etsy Inspired Challenge blog today.

We were to go to 

http://www.etsy.com/shop/glowgirl16 and look around

and find an item or two that inspires you and to create

a project based on that item. 

Here is the item that caught my eye:

I just love the Teal and purple colors..... 

with a splash of yellow mixed in.....

And here is my project based on this item:

The image I used is called "Frolicking Fairies" from

The Stamping Boutique store.

My sentiment is from Heartfelt Creations. 

Here is a close up of my image:

The purples and teal colors in the Etsy picture is what caught

my eye.  This is such an awesome color combo

and I just had to try them together. 

Of course it is a color combo that I would

never have thought would look great together,

so I really did get inspired to try something new....

Here is one last look at my card:

Isn't it great....

Acetate Card

Today I joined in all the fun over at Paper Craft Planet for the Digi Days with The Stamping Boutique.  I loved seeing what the rest of the DT had made.  So I decided to join in the fun.  

I have used the Digital image called "Bag of Hearts".  I took my acetate and ran it through my Big Kick with the Swiss Dots embossing folder.  I then took some score tape and placed it diagonally accross the front of the card and then added some glitter to the tape.  I also took my ribbon and wrapped it around my card, using score tape to hold it in place.  Then added a bow.  

I really like how this card turned out, so I may be using more acetate on my cards.

Here's a close up of my image:

And here's another picture of the card:

Monkey Business

Today I'm showing off with some Monkey Business.  

Actually it is a digital stamp from The Stamping Boutique.  

This is my 2nd card that I have created using their digital images since

becoming a member of their FABULOUS Design Team.   

This is a real exciting adventure.....

Now Lets take a walk on the Wild side and see some

Monkey's !!!!!

Okay, maybe just one monkey....

The Digital Image that I used today is 

called "Pocket Patootie Monkey".

 Not sure if you can tell, but the Monkey is 

popped up on pop dots to give the card some dimension.

The wonderful papers that I have used

are from the DCWV Animal Crackers paper pad.

I thought these papers went so great with this image....

What do you all think????
