A Thank You Card



Good day everyone out there in the bloggy world.

I love love love this image. I love the blue and got to use some new papers I have in my stash.


I colored the image with copics and I love how that turned out. I got to use some flowers from my stash too and embellished them some butterflies as well. 


I created this as an easel card and raised the sentiment to create a pop up for the stand.

WOW Wednesday - Featuring Marcy

Good Morning Stampers!

I feel like I haven't wrote a "real" blog post in a long time! I haven't had as much crafty time...well that is a total understatement...I have had NO crafty time since the beginning of April with all the personal things we went through and trying to keep things together and running. Now that things are more back to normal and I can try and get on a routine I am hoping to remedy my no crafting slump this week so wish me luck! LOL!

One thing that I thought would be fun to do is have a "WOW WEDNESDAY" each week. Our design team is so phenomenally talented and I am always so grateful for all the ladies on our team and the ones that have been with us and moved on, I just can't even tell you. These ladies put in a lot of hard work and I could literally spend hours just going back through all of the team designs and oooohing and ahhhhing - LOL! Sooooo I thought that if I loved seeing the "Blasts from the Pasts" from our Design team ladies, then you might as well!

Each Wednesday I am going to share a few favorite projects that one of our design team ladies have created with you. It could be from one of our current design team members or a past member, might be one project or a few...but they will always blow your socks off :)  I think it will be a fun feature and I hope you all enjoy seeing these past stunners as well!

Today's projects were all designed by the mega talented Marcy Dangcil. I call Marcy our Queen of Girlie Projects because she always does the most beautiful projects filled with lots of bling, pearls, lace, flowers, and all those pretty things us girls love :) I have recently added the newest release from the Prima Mixed Media Doll Collection by Julie Nutting to the store and so I thought it would be fun to check out some of the gorgeous tags and mixed media canvas projects that Marcy created using these fun Prima Doll Stamps!



This gorgeous tag was created for our Anything Goes Challenge #102 using the Prima Doll With Strapless Dress stamp.


This beautiful tag was created using the Doll With Ruffle Dress stamp for our Anything Goes Challenge #64. I LOVE how Marcy added the little rose trim to the dress and one for her hair!


How gorgeous and girly is this tag?!?!? I love the lace trim and flower bead trim on the dress, the lace bow, all the gorgeous flowers....everything - LOL! This is the Riley Doll stamp and Marcy also used the Wings stamp set that is created to use with these dolls as well. Marcy created this gorgeous tag for our Anything Goes Challenge #81. She has some close up pictures on her blog post here if you want to check those out!


I really love the colors in this tag and her paper pieced dress is so pretty! This gorgeous tag was created using the Doll With Peasant Dress stamp for our Anything Goes Challenge #72!

And.... last but not least.... this breath taking Mixed Media Canvas using the Prima Doll With Swing Dress!


Wouldn't this look amazing hanging on your wall or displayed on a shelf? I LOVE the sequin trim dress - how GENIUS! Such a stunning project!

I hope you enjoyed checking out Marcy's stunning Prima Doll projects with me today and i hope you were WOW'ed! :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Somethings Fishy



Hi Friends and Stampers,

It's a Happy Holly-Day, mostly because I'm off today!  Whoo Hoo and I have nothing planned but getting inky today!!!!  For todays inspiration I thought I'd whip up a little something fishy.


I hope you like my fish bowl as much as I do.  I just love this set.  I still have a fair fish the kids won last year at the fair on my kitchen counter....grrrr..... how long do they live? lol.   I am only used to the ones who live a week or so, lol.  I thought I would get some pictures and make some scrap pages using this die as well. 

Don't forget to check out all the New Items, Laura has added to the Loves Rubberstamps store.    We have a brand new Challenge starting tomarrow but you still have all day to play in our current one.

Thanks for Looking and Checking in on us.

A Wish For You!

Hello Friends, It's Marcy with some inspiration for you all today! 
 Hope you're all having a wonderful weekend!  I've been making a lot of Summer cards lately and I think it's because I realize how fast my favorite season of the year is going by and I'm trying to hold on to what's left of it! :)  

Here's yet another Summer inspiration card for you all today...


The adorable girl is from the Pure Innocence Collection called Make a Wish by My Favorite Things!  I think she looks like a "Summer" girl to me! :)    I've had this sweet stamp set for a while and couldn't wait to color her up with my  Copic Markers.  I also had so much fun paper piecing her outfit with some fun, bright papers called "Lemonade Stand" by Bo Bunny.   I kept my card pretty simple by just adding some small Prima flowers from my stash as well as some yellow jute to tie to the top of my card. 

Here are the Supplies Used:
Make a Wish (Pure Innocence Collection) - MFT
Lemonade Stand - Bo Bunny
Flowers - Prima
Peacock Feathers - Tim Holtz Distress Ink
Black Tuxedo -Memento Ink
Be sure to stop by the Loves Rubberstamps store to see the items used on my card and all the Pure Innocence Collection stamp sets.  There are so many to choose from!  Also, tomorrow we start a new Blog Hop so come back to visit!

Enjoy your Saturday and your Summer and thanks for stopping by!

Hugs,
Marcy

Kimono Marci


Hello Friends and Stampers,

Happy Holly-Day Monday!  Sorry this is so late!  I got in late last night from the beach, slept in way too late and my Sister is here visiting.   But I wanted to take few minutes to share my Kimono Marci with you.  I found this tri-fold card someone had done on Facebook and I knew it would be perfect for my Marci.  I cut out the bottom with my Bracket Tab die and the top with the negative from the Faux Crochet Border.  And I colored her in with my Copics. 

I have had a great birthday weekend and thankfully I am off today to recover and catch up on some shopping and errands.  Along with all that laundry! lol.  I hope your Monday is fabulous as well.  And that you have some time to get inky!!!

Thanks for Looking and Have a great day

Holly

Happy Birthday with Balloon Kaylee!


Hello Friends, It's Marcy with some inspiration for you all today! 

I've been on a roll with making birthday cards and here is another one to share with you...


 This summer has been filled with so many birthdays!!!  In fact, we are celebrating my youngest son, Ethan's birthday today! We also have another birthday on Sunday and one next week.  I'm not exactly sure who will be getting this birthday card but it will definitely be given to a birthday celebrant soon!  The cute girl on my card is called Balloon Kaylee.  She's so adorable and I colored up her hair and skin with my Copic Markers.  I ended up paper piecing pretty much everything else on her.  The fun papers I used for this as well as the background are from Doodlebug Designs called Sugar Shoppe.  These papers are so perfect for birthday themed cards.  To finish off my card, I added some sequins and some twine.  The sentiment is also from this same cute stamp set. 

Here are the Supplies Used:
Balloon Kaylee - Some Odd Girl
Sugar Shoppe - Doodlebug Designs
Black Tuxedo -Memento Ink
Be sure to stop by the Loves Rubberstamps store to see the items used on my card and all the fun SOG stamp sets.   We also have the "Sensational Sunday" blog hop tomorrow so hope you stop by again to visit and join in!

Have a wonderful weekend and thanks so much for stopping by!

Hugs,
Marcy
