Loves Rubberstamps - Design Day

Guess what day it is- Saturday and I'm back with another card for the Loves Rubberstamps. It's also a belated 'Happy Birthday' Card for my Brother-in-law who's birthday was on Monday.
So I used Crumb Cake paper for my base which is a 5"x 7" finished card size.  I used Manchester paper by Stampin'up for the rest of the paper. I stamped the
fisherman from the set called 'Catching Z's Set' by Art Impressions using black memento ink onto shimmery white paper and colored him using Prismacolor pencils. I sponged Ice Blue Fluid Chalk and Chestnut Roan along the edges to soften white paper. I stamped the sentiment 'Fish bait, tackle box, lawn chair... there's a "nap" for that..' using Chestnut Roan ink and used Spellbinders 'Ribbon Tag' to trace the outline around the saying.  I sponged  Chestnut Roan along the edges to soften white paper. I stamped 'Happy Birthday' from the set from Whimsy Stamps called 'Celebration Mini Tickets' using Chestnut Roan ink. I added some Chocolate Chip 5/8th grosgrain ribbon by Stampin'Up.

I used 'The Sharon Ann's Christmas Magic Collection for the rest of my papers. I printed the Xmas Pup in Star onto shimmery white paper and coloured him with Prismacolor pencils.

This week's Challenge at Loves Rubberstamps  is to use Tic-Tac-Toe to make a creation that makes either a line or diagonal  on your board - one catch is that you must have all 3 elements on a card. So here is my card which uses gold paper as my base and a 5"x 7" card size. I'm used buttons, Spellbinder die cuts and embossing for my Tic-Tac-Toe.

I ran the striped paper thru a Stampin'Up embossing folder called 'Lacy Brocade'. I then used a Stampin'Up folder called 'Square Lattice' and AG1666 paper for the third layer. I cut out the frame using gold paper and Spellbinders 'Label 10'and ran it thru another Stampin'Up embossing folder called 'Fancy Fan'. I then cut out a frame using Spellbinders 'Label 10' using the largest and second largest frame using AG1668 paper. I stamped the 'Elegant Flower' by La Blanche onto their specialty paper using Coffee Archival ink by Ranger. I colored the image using Tim Holtz distress markers. I then went over the flower and the butterfly using an embossing pen and applied UTEE and then heat set. I added 4 Real Red corduroy buttons along with some gold thread. I cut out some flourishes using gold paper and Spellbinders 'Twisted Metal Accents  & Tags.

DIGI DARLA'S CHALLENGE

Loves Rubberstamps - Design Day

It's the long weekend of August, in another month, my son will be going back to school. Oh how time flies... I'm back with another card with Loves Rubberstamps and I decided to use LaBlanche stamp called 'Tea Cup'. These stamps are so detail and are silicone based. I tried them along time ago and didn't think they were all that hot, but I didn't think you needed to use their specialty paper so I wasn't impress with their stamps. Oh Boy, did I ever change my mind, I used their specialty paper and stamped the Tea Cup', what a difference!

 It made me a believer! So here is my card, I used Copper metallic paper for the base which is a 5"x 7". I used Penny Black paper for the first layer and Kanban paper called  'Bella Damask -Mocha' for the second layer. I cut out gold label using Spellbinders 'Label 20'. I then sprayed a paper doily using Lindy's Stamp Gang Starburst sprays using Dark Chocolate Truffle and Bayou Boogie Gold. I stamped La Blanche's Tea Cup using black archival ink by Ranger and colored the image using Tim Holtz distress markers. I cut out the tea bag/string and cube of sugar by Cottage Cutz using gold paper. I added some ivory pleated ribbon by May Arts and then laid gold ribbon on top. I added gold flourishes using Spellbinders Twisted Metal Tags & Accents. I added a sticker from Christine Adolph 'Tea Time 16637 by Creative Imaginations.

Stamping Dragons Designs - Theme Summer Colors

I'm back with another card for Stamping Dragons Designs and this week's challenge is Summer Colors. So here is my card, I started off using Rich Razzleberry paper for my base which is a 5"x 7" card size. I  used Basic Grey's "Green at Heart" because this collection reminded me of summer colours. I used    
'Grass' for the first layer and used 'Sage' for the second layer. I used 'Seedling' for the third layer. I cut out a frame using Memory box 'Debutante Frame' using Tangerine Tango paper and then used another Memory Box die called Twirling Vine for the overlay which was laid on top using 'Kelly' paper. I printed the image called 'Jiggys Sandcastle' onto shimmery white paper and colored him using Prismacolor pencils. I wrapped some Old Olive 5/8th Satin Ribbon and made a double bow to lay on top. I cut out a flower border using Poppystamps Bubble Daisy Border using Melon Mambo paper. I laid the daisy border on double sticky tape called Be Creative Tape and used the following glitter to color the flowers; Lilac Pink, Plum Berry, Grasshopper and  Poppy Orange. For the bottom of the card, I used Tessatina Border by Memory Box again laid it on double sticky tape and used the same glitters to colour it.
