FS318 In His Time

This is for two challenges today, first is this weeks Featured Stamper 318 is Connie aka Stamp300. Connie has a charming gallery and lots of inspiration. I choose this Party Hello creation to case. Kept the butterflies, layout and colors. Changed the butterfly stamp, moved teh panel to the opposite side and stamped my sentiment inside the square. Second challenge is for Sweet N Sassy's Pop is up challenge found HERE. My butterflies are from New Creature that I stamped, colored with copics then cut on and popped up on dimensionals and spread the wings out. I added fairy dust to the wings of each butterfly and the pierced square that I created. I do like how this turned out.

Thanks for stopping by today. Enjoy your day.

Happy Friday! Today is the Pre-Release Challenge over on Flourishes Blog. This is your chance to win our ENTIRE new release coming out next week. Simply be inspired by the colors below and then link your creation over on Flourishes blog to be in the drawing. Whohoo!!! Easy Peasy! Hope you can play along this week!

For my creation I pulled out my Butterflies and Blossom stamp today. My flowers are stamped onto classic white cardstock using memeno tuxedo black ink.

Several copic collections used today:

Since my new to me Spellbinders arrived today I decided to play around. This is Timeless Rectangles die cut using our Color Made Easy True Blue collection. Layered with a piece of scrap designer paper from the bin.

Took a lighter blue and die cut out with our Perfectly Pierced Victorian Oval that I cut in hald to make it fit the entire panel piece. Doubled up my white cotton lace so that it was thicker look and feel. The tied a ribbon layer with the matching Color Made Easy True Blue Dusk ribbon in the collection. After my flowers and butterfly were colored I cut around the image and popped the panel up on dimensionals. Added my sentiment which now I think with the beautiful piercing it is hard to see on the card, too late now. EEK! Lesson learned. Added a few snow white kaiser pearls and voila!

SSS200 Birthday Ride

Yesterday was so relaxing other than the laundry part. ha! However over all great day and I got several creations done. YEA! Needed a masculine birthday card so pulled out a new set never inked up yet GASP! This is from Sweet N Sassy Stamps called Timless Classic. I loved the image in this set for guy cards just haven't had time to ink it up till now. Figured I needed a sketch so went to the Sweet Stop Sketch blog from SNSS and played with the newest sketch.  

Stamped the truck onto classic white cardstock using memento tuxedo black ink. Colored with various copic markers. Turned the sketch sideways to fit my image and created a background with one of the smaller gears images in the set. Popped the panel up on dimensionals and added a few brads. Done! Have a great day!

Sending love

Happy Wednesday! Aawww... a day to relax for me. Been going going going and finally a day to create and relax. Well a few loads of laundry also but over all slower pace with no errands and such.  :0)  So I grabbed this adorable Kiss the cook and played around. Henry is stamped onto classic white cardstock using memento tuxedo black ink. Colored him with various copics and then cut around him carefully and adhered dimensionals to the back of him.

Die cut out using white paper the Lovely Doily Die-Light and layered that with some white lace trim and some light blue ribbon. My sentiment is from General Sayings 2.  Added Henry popped up and added a few pearls. Voila! Simple and sweet today. Now to go play some more. hee hee  Thanks for stopping in today.

HMF#139 Winged Mice

Good morning or should I say afternoon? I am very late in getting my post up today for the House Mouse and Friends Blog Challenge today, very sorry. Time is just tight and I made myself sit down for a minute to get this posted. :0)
The challenge this week is the Things With Wings. We have a few sponsors this week please check out the HMF blog for all the details. 

I really had little time to get a creation done this weekend as science projects are due in 2 weeks. We spent most of the weekend working on the boards and final copy of the written. ACK... I really need a break. ha!  These adorable mice with wings were perfect for the challenge. They are stamped onto classic white cardstock using memento tuxedo black ink and colored with copics. I punched out a snowflake and added a gem. The crochet ribbon and some pink are always a go to for me with soem swiss dots for the base layer. Cute Christmas themed card done too. yea! Easy Peasy. Thanks for stopping in today!

Christmas Holly

Each month on the 1st we reveal the new Christmas Spirit challenge HERE in the Fan Club Forum along with the details for the month. We would love for you to play along with us. Just think of all the extra time you will have come the holiday's when you are sitting back drinking some hot cocoa and listening to everyone else frantically coming up with a Christmas card. Now let's get to this months challenge details.... The challenge for March, Leaves of Green! Anything with leaves, any leaves that are green, how about 3 leaves or 3D- pop up your image. Have fun with it. When you load your creation to SCS please put keyword SCSCCMAR13 so we can find your creations!

My first creation for March is using Naturally Merry that I stamped onto classic white cardstock using memento tuxedo black ink.

Colored with copic collections:

Once colored I grabbed some of the Color Made Easy Pistachio paper and scalloped an edge of the darker color and a smaller layer of the middle shade of green.

My sentiment tag is using Tailor Made Classic Bookplate Die and I sponged a little bit of mellow moss ink before I removed the die. Tied off a ribbon bow using CME Pistachio moss green ribbon. Voila! One down for March. Hope you can join us this month. Have a great day.
