Stamp Something "Charmed Somethings"

Happy Friday! Here is a fun card I made for the "charmed somethings," challenge on Stamp Something! This card was SO fun to put together! I found the image from Fred She Said. I altered the image a little. This cute fish is colored with watercolor pencils and blinged up with gold glitter glue. I used a "sand" colored DSP for the background, and then 2 summery print DSPs on the smaller sections. The pins are fish I picked up at this years CKC. I used gold brads and a starburst charm I found in my stash. The sentiment (pun!) is from my first trip to the CKC a LONG time ago! The flower is embellished with a button tied with twine. The crab is a Jolee's that I got in a grab bag. Thanks for looking :)

Altered

Hello and welcome back to my blog! I am having too much fun with my stamping lately! Today, I attempted something new. I am trying to use something NOT meant for my cardmaking and altering it to suit my needs. I found some tissue paper that a purchased item was wrapped in at the dollar store! I crumpled it more and "antiqued" it with brown ink and a sponge. Then, I punched photo corners out of gold dsp. I attached 3 flowers in layers with a brad. I used 3 gold brads on one corner. Pooh is a digital image I got from a free coloring sheet site (my trick for when I need an image!) I colored him with watercolor pencils. The sentiment is a sticker I found in my stash and stuck in a bookplate. Okay...this card fits the following challenges:

Everybody Art Challenge: Butterfly
Pile It On: 3 Flowers
Simon Says: Distress
High Hopes Challenge: Gold
Kaboodle Doodles: Digital Image
Stamptacular Sunday: Child's Play (Pooh is a children's character...stretch???)
The Pink Elephant: 3 Flowers, 1 Brad (in the flower) DSP.
My Time to Craft: Forgotten Item from your Stash

Another one for today...

Hello! This is a card that started out with something completely different in mind! I hated the way it was coming out, so I kept the base and searched through my supplies to see what I could do. I came up with this girlie "camouflaged" Whimsy turtle. I paper-pieced the turtle's shell and colored the parts in different shades of pink. I "glammed" it up with some pink glitter glue. I used some Primas, a bow and some eyelets to embellish this cutie! This card fits the Pile it On "at least 3 flowers," My Time to Craft "floral frenzy," and Daring Cardmakers "bejeweled bliss." Thanks for checking it out!

Whimsy and then some!

Hello and Happy Monday! Monday means, new challenge time for Whimsy Stamps Challenge! Our theme this week is Friendship! So I made this fun card using the sketch from Friday Sketchers, Daring Cardmakers "bejewled" challenge and of course, the Whimsy challenge. I stamped the alligator and the frog and colored them with watercolor pencils and cut each out. I used some new glitter cardstock as the background and embellished with brads, a book plate with the sentiment "a friend is someone who...," and the chipboard buckle with ribbons and a dragonfly charm. I highlighted with a white paint pen and some white ice stickles. The inside of the card simply has the rest of the sentiment..."who has always got your back!" I love the colors of this card and I hope you do too! Thanks for stopping by! Check out the other DT cards at Whimsy Stamps Challenge here.

Princess Anya

Happy Friday! Today I decided to browse tutorials on SCS and found this super easy bag! I also decided to try my luck to join another design team starting soon! So part of their tryout was a sketch using a Greeting Farm stamp! The name of the blog is Anyone for Anya? I used so pink cardstock and CB'd with Textile folder. Then I cut a DSP from K&Co and used both sides for the next layer. I used pink and green ribbon for the center strip and I criss-crossed them. I double layered the image layer with 2 different shades of green and distressed the edges. The hearts were hand drawn (as was the sentiment) and the crown, wand and hearts were embellished with glitter glue. Princess Anya is colored with watercolored pencils. Embellies are half pearls, Primas, and more ribbon. This card also fits the Roses on Paper "hearts" challenge as well as Pile it On's "watercolor" challenge, Simon Says "distressing" challenge, and the "friends" challenge from Cute Daisy May. Thanks for stopping by, and wish me luck!

Stamp Something Challenge

Happy Friday, All! Thanks for coming by again! Today I am posting my card for the Stamp Something Challenge. Our sponsor this week is Whiff of Joy and the challenge is paper piecing. So I used one of my newest Willow images and paper pieced her dress. I colored the rest of her with watercolor pencils. My card is made from a tutorial on SCS. It's a fun, easy folding project. I used 3 different DSP's to cover each section in a patchwork fashion. I used a bookplate to highlight the "friend" sentiment. I used buttons, paper flowers, Dew Drops, a Prima and some eyelets to really bring the card to life. I used 3d foam tape to make Willow "pop." This card also fits the Whiff of Joy "floral" with a WOJ image, Stamptacular Sunday's "inside out" challenge, and Pile it On's "watercolor" challenge. The sentiment below the image is from SU's "Simply Said," set. Thanks for stopping by! Check out the rest of the design team's creations here: Stamp Something Challenge Blog
