Cupcake Craftroom - Sweet Christmas!

It's a new challenge over at the Cupcake Craftroom and a new set of delicious papers. You'll need to head over to the craftroom to check out the new Contemporary Christmas papers that Mandy has designed. The challenge this month is a Sweet Christmas! I made two projects - one naughty and one nice.

Sweet Christmas can be interpreted in many ways - the first, was of course naughty with all the fabulous Christmas candy. I went in search of ribbon candy and I couldn't even believe that I couldn't find it. The next best thing is the hard candy that I remember sitting on grandma's table in the green candy dish. I used my Art Philosophy to cut the french fry box and used There She Goes newest release No Peeking! to adorn the front. What a great sweet treat idea! I used a digi sheet called Swirl It. I printed in on avalance Bazzill cardstock to give it texture. I love this print - it's so gorgeous. I also used Christmas Polkas.

The second, the nice with beatiful fruits. I used another There She Goes stamp set that I purchased, but somehow never inked it up. I totally love coloring this image, the stamp set is called Season's Greetings and it's an full of old fashioned holiday images. For this card I used three digis sheets, also printed on Avalanche Bazzill paper called - solid red, big dots, and swirl it green. Aren't the papers gorgeous and I think perfectly paired for this fabulous stamp set.

 I hope that you like today's projects. I hope that you'll visit the Cupcake Craftroom to get these delicious papers and There She Goes for the fabulous holiday stamp sets.

Thanks for stopping by. Have an awesome day!!

Tuesday Morning Sketches #118

It's another fabulous Tuesday Morning Sketch day. We have a wonderful sketch to use this week. Our sponsor is Robyn's Fetish. Robyn's store offers some fabulous digital stamps as well as digital papers. I hope that you'll check out her store. In the mean time...here is this week's sketch and my project.

I totally fell in love with this stamp set from Close To My Heart. I love pumkins and I'd love to see them come out with other sayings for the top of the pumpkin.

I stamped the leaf three times and cut them out and popped them up. I think they look great! What I like about this set is that each piece is an individual stamp.

I hope that you'll join us this week. Please do stop by the rest of the DT to see their amazing creations and leave them a little love. Thanks for stopping by. Have an awesome day!

There She Goes Release Week | Day Two

It's day two of There She Goes release week!! Today's set is so cute...and I am so inspired by the set that I have decided to host Thanksgiving dinner at my house. Yes, I am going to cook. I'm actually excited.

We have another fabulous set from Torico – she’s showing off her range of creativity. Whip us some delicious greetings with the new Bon Appetit set. From the succulent turkey to steamin’ hot pie create some mouthwatering table settings or pass down secret family recipes for generations to come. Compliments to Chef Torico!

Bon Appétit is a 4x8 set that includes a total of 31 stamps and will sell for $18.

When I saw this set I was a little intimidated because I am not a cook. I totally love this chef - he's just too cute. I thought about making a new recipe card file for a friend, but she's not into my hobby and wouldn't appreciate it...so I thought why not make one for me?? So I decided that I needed some recipes for Thanksgiving and I came up with the two recipe cards below. I have a recipe card file and I'll be decorating that in the next few weeks - so you'll have to come back and check it out. If you have some good (low fat) recipes pass them on.

There She Goes Release Week | Day One

Yahoo!! It's release week at There She Goes and do we ever have a great line-up this week. So be sure to come back this whole week to see what Jessica has in store. Today I have two sets to show you...and I just know you'll love them.

The seasons are changing and it’s time to add some rich colors and beautiful leaves to our paper crafting projects! Autumn mini set has a bunch of different leaves each with a fun pattern that you are going to love to use!

Autumn is a 3x4 set that includes a total of 13 stamps and will sell for $7.

Jessica has designed a wonderful set. I had to restrain myself from using all the leaves in the set. The sentiment is just so perfect. For my card I referred back to what I learned from Silke a few weeks back. I stamped the ink straight onto the clear block, misted it with water and then stamped it straight onto the cardstock. I just love how this technique looks and thought it was perfect for this stamp set.

Now onto the second release of the day.

Torico brings us a techno savvy stamp set that everyone needs. We are living in an information age on an information planet so why not surprise your Friendbots with some automated cuteness. Let’s make it the age of interfacing with all your B.F.F.s!

Friendbots is a 3x4 set that includes a total of 5 stamps and will sell for $7.

 

I had so much coloring this set. I do wish that I went a bit bolder with my colors, but I just love this card and this image. It's just so cute!! I hope you'll like it too.

Tuesday Morning Sketches #117

Good morning crafters -

It's a fabulous Tuesday morning and Denver is expecting snow today - yikes!! I wish our weather could be as good as it was today 77 degrees otherwise I would prefer to stay home.

Today at Tuesday Morning Sketches we have a fabulous sketch and sponsor - Tiffany Doodles. Although I was not able to use a Tiffany digi I totally adore her images. Be sure to head over and check out her shop. For my image today I used a There She Goes set - Day or Night - that I have had and haven't inked. I was over a friends and I forgot to take my color pencils and she had the ShinHan Touch Markers and I got to play. Today's card was colored with the markers and I thought they were easier than Copics - why I don't know they're sort of the same!! I totally love these markers and may consider investing.

I totally had a blast putting this card together. I am in love with these new papers from Close To My Heart. I thought they went perfectly with the colors in the image.

I hope you like today's card and that you'll play along with us. Thanks for stopping by - I hope you have an awesome day!!

Tuesday Morning Sketches #116

Good Morning Crafters - It's another wonderful Tuesday Morning Sketches day! This week we have two sponsors to help celebrate "pink" Breast Cancer Awareness month. First we have a new sponsor ~ Print Candee and a returning sponsor ~ DRS Designs. We will have two drawings!! The sketch comes from me. When I looked at the line up for the month I thought to myself, "What was I thinking?" I really didn't like the sketch until I started working on my card.

I totally love this card. I used a pre-colored digital from Print Candee, however, I did color the faeries wings pink. I printed two copies and cut out the second set of wings and popped them up. I have posted for you two images so that you could see the wings.

I can't wait to see what you create this week. Thanks for stopping by. Have an awesome day!!
