Saturday Inspiration with Marcy - Got Pie?

Hi Friends and Happy Saturday!  It's my Inspiration Day and I'm excited to share my latest card with you! :)

Here it is...

This card features the adorable "Baking Marci"!  What a cute little little baker so cute in her outfit and little kitchen mitts.  I also love that she's holding a pie, one of my favorite desserts of all time! :)  I had so much fun coloring her up with my copic markers and added some stickle in "Start Dust" to the trim on her apron and to her little hair bands.  I love the paper collection I used which was perfect for this baking theme.  The papers are from Kaisercraft called "Nan's Favourites".  Super cute collection!  The cherry blossoms are from Wild Orchid Crafts.  Laura just added a bunch of new flowers to the store and they are all so pretty!  The sentiment "Got Pie" is from a stamp set in my stash.  I thought it went well with cute little Marci! :)

Here are the Supplies Used:

Baking Marci - La La Land Crafts

Nan's Favourites - Kaisercraft

Victorian Velvet - Tim Holtz Distress Ink

Black Tuxedo-Memento Ink

Copic Markers

Cherry Blossom flowers - Wild Orchid Crafts

Doily border punch - Martha Stewart

Be sure to stop by the Loves Rubberstamps store to see the items used on my card including a lot of adorable La La Land Craft stamps to choose from! 

Also, make sure to stop by tomorrow for the "Sensational Sunday" blog hop where you can win some fun prizes!  You also have time to join in our favorite "Anything Goes" challenge!

You are Special - Friday Inspiration with Athina

Hello Friends!

We have made it to Friday once again, so that means Athina here to share some more inspiration with you!  I have spent my week out in warm California, what a great change from here in Ohio where it has been frigid.  The weather was in the low 60's, but it felt like summer to me.  It is very funny how you get used to a temperature, the locals were all freezing.  It was nice to get away, but I am glad to be back and sharing some fun inspiration with you today.

I found this cute little Tiddy Inks, Celebrate Joyfully image in the store.  I just love her! She is colored with Copics and cut out with the Large Oval Spellbinders die.    I kept the background very simple, which was actually a challenge for me.  But I like stepping out of that comfort zone once in a while.  The background papers are by My Minds Eye.  The sentiment is from C. C. Designs - Amy R - Be Happy.  It is stamped with Rich Cocoa Memento Ink.

Supplies Used:

Tiddly Inks - Celebrate Joyfully 

Rich Cocoa Memento Ink 

Amy R - Be Happy 

Copics 

Spellbinders  - Large Oval

My Minds Eye

Pink Lemonade Hemp - Lawn Fawn

Cardabilities Sketch # 92

Laura has been busy adding many fun items to the store this week!  So make sure to stop by and check out the New Items section.  I have a gift certificate I need to spend, but have been holding off so I can see all the fun new goodies.

Also be sure to come over and enter your latest creation in our weekly challenge.  This week is Anything Goes!

I hope you have a fantastic weekend!  Thanks so much for stopping by.

Hugs,
Athina

Love Is In The Air

Hi Stampers!

Today is a new challenge at Crafty Sentiments Designs and Loves Rubberstamps! I was lucky enough to be able to combine my Design Team Project for each one :)

This week at Crafty Sentiments Designs the theme is all about LOVE! For my project I took an image called Sweet Cookies that I think is super sweet BUT she is at first glance an image for Christmas because she is really baking little gingerbread man cookies on her pan... WELL...I think she is sweet enough to be used for many occasions :)

I decided that for today little Miss Sweet Cookies would be baking little heart shaped, iced sugar cookies!

You can use this image ALL YEAR long...not just Christmas! You can get creative and make different shaped little cookies depending on what you are making it for! I am thinking little shamrock cookies for St. Paddy's Day...Small Easter Egg Cookies for Easter...Pumpkin Shaped for Halloween...little Turkeys for Thanksgiving...OR you could do the little standard circle shaped for whenever! 

Here is a close up of my image...

And the little cookies....

What I did for the pan was in the areas that had the gingerbread man ... I colored those in a darker shade with my copics. To create the little cookies I made little heart punchies and sponged the edges with Tim Holtz Walnut Stain Distress Ink. Then I placed Liquid Applique on the top and then sprinkled some chunky pink glitter on top. I smooshed the glitter into the liquid applique and then just let it dry. I did not heat it because I didn't want it to puff. The liquid applique dries the same color as you are using so it looks like smooth white icing, and it holds the glitter when it is dry as well. 

This project also fits in to our Loves Rubberstamps Challenge this week because it is ANYTHING GOES! Always a fun challenge! 

I hope you enjoyed my project today and that I gave you some inspiration on taking a look at your Christmas Stamps and see if there are ways you can use them all year round :)

Be sure to play along in BOTH of these fun challenges this week! Crafty Sentiments Designs - Love Is In The Air...and whatever you create for that one...it would also be eligible to enter in the Loves Rubberstamps Anything Goes Challenge as well :)

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hi Friends and Stampers,

It's my turn to post on the Loves Rubberstamps Inspiration Blog. Have you seen these new MFT pure innocence images? They are so adorable. I love her little outstretched arms. The raining hearts is a separate stamp and now that I think about it, I wish I had chosen Memento Lady Bug Red ink. But the black is super matchy, lol. How is your week starting out? I hope you have had a chance to play with us in our current Challenge - use Lace!

Have you clicked on the New Items button lately? If so, you may have seen that Laura is adding Wild Orchid Flowers to the store! These are available now as pre-orders and she is not quite done adding them all in, but go take a look!

And there is more!!!! Yippee.

Did you catch the Superbowl Game yesterday? Ughhhhh. I hate it when it's a runaway game like that. The build up for the whole season and it comes down to the Super Bowl where the two best teams are playing and the Broncho's forgot to bring their energy with them..... It was awful to watch. But my dear husband got the wings, the chips, helped with the dip and did everything in his power to make sure I had a great Super Bowl Sunday. I just love him for that!

Thanks for Looking in on Us,

Holly

Isn't she so cute?!!  I wanted to color her up in yellow and pink which are such "Happy" colors for me!!! :)   I colored up sweet Lucy with my Copic markers and did a little embossing on the white background behind her.  The fun papers collection I used is from Pink Paislee called "Hey Kid".  I also added some pretty Wild Orchid Craft flowers which are new to the Loves Rubberstamps store!!! I absolutely love adding flowers to my projects so I'm thrilled they are now being carried at the store! 

Here are the Supplies Used:

Party Time Lucy - C.C. Designs

Victorian Velvet - Tim Holtz Distress Ink
