Sweet Stamps Spring Challenge

Today our challenge at Sweet Stamps blog is to create a Spring project/card. 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 creation:

 I used the"Strawberry Bear" and the "Strawberry Corner" on my card today.  My stamps are stamped onto Cryogen card stock and colored in with copics.  I used the Cheery Lynn Squares and Scalloped Squares to cut out my image and for the mats behind the image.  I added some pearls to finish off my card.  Pretty simple today.....

Here is the inside of my card:

I followed the same theme from the front of my card.  Hope you like it!!!!!

Make It Crafty

Make it Crafty is having a DT call.  I LOVE the images/stamps that are available at Make it Crafty.  They are so great to use my copics on.  They have lots of detail and I really enjoy coloring them up.  I would really like to be able to put all my knowledge that I have with the copics to use.

I made 2 cards for this call.  Here is the first one:

I used "Zoe Celebrates" and colored her using my copics. 

Here is a closer look at my coloring:

 Here's a list of copics that I used on my image: R85, R83, R81, E11, E00, E000, R20, B99, B97, B95, B93, B91, E9, E7, E25, E23, E21

And here is my 2nd card:

 I used "Sam and Dylan fishing" for my image on this card.

And a closer look at my coloring:

Here is a list of my copics used for this image: E11, E00, E000, R22, R24, R7, B91, B93, B95, B97, E31, E33, E35, G28, G24, G21, YG67, YG63, YG61

And here is one that I just did today, Wednesday Mar 14th:

1. Country you reside in (DT is open to everyone worldwide) I live in York, PA USA

2. What style of creations do you like to make? I prefer to make cards, I do a little bit of lots of bling to plain and simple

3. What do you enjoy most about crafting? It is so very relaxing to me.  I really enjoy using my copic markers and coloring in all the awesome images that I have.

4. What are your favourite products at Make it Crafty? I would have to say all of your awesome digital images.  The scenes are really great as well as the new images you just added.

5. Why would you like to be on the Make it Crafty team? I feel I could make your images come alive using my copics.  You can see above at my 3 images that I colored.  I taught myself how to use the copics and all the many techniques with using them.  Your images are so great to use the copics with and I would really like to find a DT that I can put my knowledge of the copics to use. thanks for this great opportunity.....

One of my favorite projects to date has to be the Anthony and Burt get well set that I made.  Once I learned how to make these hinged boxes, I haven't stopped.  They can be used for so many things/ideas.   The link to my card and project is HERE. Another of my favorite card that I have done so far this year is the first one on this post.  This image reminds me so much of myself when I get good news.  I like to jump up and down and yell......

Doily Rose

Hi Everyone.  I am here on this Friday with yet another card for the Cheery Lynn challenges.  I used two of my FAVORITE companies, Cheery Lynn and Sweet Stamps.

I used 2 of Cheery Lynn Doily dies, the Kiwi Oval Frame and the Doily Stacker Circles 1, 2,3.  I also used one of my favorite stamps from Sweet Stamps called the Cutwork Roses.  My roses are colored with my copics and I fussy cut out my colored image and popped it up on top of the doilies.  Hope you like it.......

Challenges Entered:
Cheery Lynn Challenge 18 - Doilies

Little Ballerina

Hi Everyone!! I am here on this Friday with another sneak peek, this time using the Paintbox Poppets' collection that will soon be available at Crafter's Companion! I used the Ballerina stamp for my card today.

I stamped my image onto cryogen card stock and colored her in using my alcohol ink markers.  I have a habit of creating scenes with my images.  The little ballerina looked like she needed to be on a hardwood floor. I cut out my colored image using a die and then I added some lace and some pearls.

A closer look at my colored image:

I will share a bit on how I made the hardwood floor.

First you take a ruler.  You want to lightly draw a horizontal line where you want the floor to be.  You will then take and draw a vertical line. This will create a corner.  I also took and drew a vertical line to create the wall corner.

Next, you will take your ruler and again very lightly, draw horizontal lines to make the boards of the hardwood floors.  You want to follow the first horizontal line in the way it goes.  The boards closer to you should be a little bit bigger that the ones further away.

Next you start to color your floor boards. You will color the sections closest to where the floor meets the wall darker and go outwards with a lighter color. 

Next, I used my grey markers and very lightly added shadows to create the corner of the wall.  I also used the greys on the area where the floor meets the walls.  This will give you some dimension to make it look like a real wall.  Of course, you could also make the wall to look like mirrors if you wanted to. 


See you all next Friday with another sneak peek of another new release..


Alcohol Ink markers used: R81, R83, R85, R20, E11, E00, E000, E39, E37, E35, E33, E31, E59, W1, W3, W0
