Stamp Something Summer!

Happy Friday! Today I have a card I whipped up for our Summer Something challenge at Stamp Something this week! Our sponsor is LaLa Land Crafts!  I got to work with Snorkel Sherman.  Isn't he fun?  I went with a sketch and decided to make a shaker card...but the glitter keeps sticking to the glossy accented goggles...lol!  He's colored with Copics.  Thanks for stopping by and please check out the rest of the DT! 

Challenges:
Kraftin' Kimmies: Summer/water theme
Quirky Crafts: Summer
Rosie D's: Blue+fish (cat is swimming with fins...does that count...lol?)
Truly Scrumptious: Sketch

Charisma Cardz: All about bling (glitter water)
Hand Full of Stamps:  Water

Stamping on Fabric

So I decided to experiment.  I had this plain apron that I had intended on decorating.  Today was the day!  I used my Alota Stamps cake.  I stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black.  I colored with Copics. It did bleed slightly...thus the shading...lol!  I hand wrote "eat cake."  Hope you like it! 

Challenges:
Cute Card Thursday- Anything but a square (not a card, does it count?)
YNS- Buttons (3 tiny ones in center of cake's flowers...didn't photo well!)
Allsorts-Buttons

Whimsy Inspirations

Hello! Thanks for stopping by today! This is a card I posted for Whimsy Inspirations.  This is the Woodland Fairy by MelJen Designs Fairy Tale Collection for the Whimsy Digital Collection.  I colored her with Copics and highlighted with white gel pen.  The flowers are felt and I added a rhinestone flower to the center of the solid flower.  The "stitching" is a combination of free hand and a border stamp. The branch punch finished the flowers.  I also added a rhinestone brad to her dress for a little more sparkle.

In the second photo, you can see the sentiment is a pullout tab.  The sentiment is from Raindrop Echo Designs for Whimsy and it is a rubber stamp set.  I used a new EK Success label punch for the backing. Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you stop by Whimsy for more inspiration!  Have a great day!

Challenges:
Cupcake Craft: Dazzle Us
Pollycraft: Ribbon and bling
Sketch and Stash: Sketch (I used scrap cardstock from my stash to do all of the layers)
Challenge Up Your Life: Critter cratters and bling (I'm guessing on the critter cratters!)
Everybody Art Challenge: Things with wings (butterfly, bird)
Rainbow Lady: Fantasty (woodland fairy princess) and tag
Aly's Sunday:  Sewing

Stamp Something Happy!

Happy Friday, All! Glad to have you back!  This week's challenge at Stamp Something is to stamp something Happy!  Our sponsor is Karen's Doodles this week and she kindly let us work with her images.  I chose "Born to Ride."

I went with the Tent Card design to make this card for my step-dad for Father's Day.  I gave him an early card...so this is the one that doesn't go with a gift...lol!  I used black base, street sign paper from Rusty Pickle, silver brads, black mini brads, and the CB Diamond Plate embossing folder.  The biker is colored with Copics and silver glitter markers on the chrome parts.  I Glossy Accented his lenses and the lights.  Hope you enjoy it and please visit the rest of the DT for more fun images and projects!

C.R.A.F.T.: Father's Day

Here is a little Bio from our Victoria at Blue Jelly Stampin

I'm an independent Stampin' Up! demonstrator based in Nottingham but can ship anywhere in the UK! I run some virtual clubs, so you don't have to host a party at home to take advantage of hostess benefits but if you live in or around Nottingham I'd be happy to help you host a Stampin' Up! party at home and arrange a fun night for you an your friends. I also run classes in Nottingham too - a great place to meet other crafter's and have a laugh too. If you're interested in buying products for yourself at a discount or you're interested in joining my Stampin' Up! team, please get in touch and I'll be happy to help.

So my card is based on a sketch, DCWV papers, half pearls, the sentiment was stamped and sent to me...unsure of who's it is, and the flowers I made from the same papers and cardstock.   Thanks for checking it out and please visit the rest of the DT for more fun!
