Hello My Friend!

Hello Friends and Happy Saturday!  It's Marcy with some inspiration for you all!

Here is my card...

This card was made using the adorable Gorjuss Girls stamp set called "You Brought Me Love"!  I love all of these Gorjuss stamp sets and this one was so much fun to create with!  This set also comes with a cute little squirrel and a pile of leaves but I decided to use this cute girl on her own for this card.  I colored her up with my copic markers and then added quite a bit of of my Wink of Stella in clear to her dress, ribbons and boots to give her some pretty shimmer.  Love my Wink of Stella!   The set also comes with a fun border stamp which I used to create the background with some colorful inks.  I   stamped my sentiment using some Versamark Ink  right onto my background and went over the "hello" with some black sparkling embossing powder by Ranger.  I added some enamel dots and some dark pink rope twine to tie to the top to finish off my card.  

Here are the Supplies Used:

You Brought Me Love - Gorjuss Girls Stamps

copic markers Distress Ink

Black Tuxedo - Memento Ink

Versamark Watermark Stamp Pad - Tsukineko

Black Sparkling Embossing Powder - Ranger

Be sure to stop by the Loves Rubberstamps store to see the items used on my card and all of the adorable Gorjuss Girls stamp sets.  We also have a new "Sensational Blog Hop" starting tomorrow so be sure to come check it out! :)

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!

Wonderful Time of Year

Shanna here today with another holiday card to share. I am really getting a jump on my holiday cards for this winter. I really need to start my Halloween and Thanksgiving cards now though that Fall is knocking on the door. 

I kept this card again simple but fun. It is another great card you can give to anyone. I used some snowflake stickers I had left over from, oh my... last year... maybe even the year before that. ( I have a sticker drawer with some old stickers that may never get used.)

I had fun making this simple dimensional card I must say. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today. Please keep coming back for more inspiration!

Items Used:

My Favorite Things - Seasonal Sentiments

Bo Bunny - Snow Day

WOW Wednesday - Featuring Dangina

Hi Stampers -

Hope you are having a great week so far! My week has been long and I will be ready for a few days off when they get here - even though they always go by so fast :)

Today I would like to share a few of  Dangina's gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous...did I mention GORGEOUS?? Altered Notebooks and Album that she has created using the Prima Dolls. I know I am kind of on a Prima Doll kick because I love these stamps but I find them intimidating a little because of their large size so I LOVE looking at how people use them - LOL!

Now Dangina has also created quite a few stunning tags using these dolls as well but I will save them for a later feature otherwise this post would be ginormous because they are all so pretty! :)

Here we go...

This is a jaw-dropping 12x12 inch scrapbook album that Dangina created using the Doll with Bolero Sweater stamp! I love the color scheme and all of those beautiful zig-zag flowers that Dangina created! Couldn't you just stare at this for hours?!?! I know I could! I also love all the different textures, layers and bling! Such a beautiful family heirloom!

Dangina also did a few different Altered Composition Books as well. These are all amazing! Such a neat idea to create notebooks you would be proud to show off and use! These would make stunning gifts too! This beautiful black and white themed notebook was created using the Doll With Swing Dress stamp. 

This altered composition book was created using the Lorrena Prima Doll Stamp. She has a wide, full dress and I love how Dangina added the bling to the folds of her dress! The ribbon flowers on this are so beautiful also!

I love the neutral color palette that Dangina used with this journal! Check out the background too! I love the mix of the brick patterns with the distressed dots - looks amazing! The paper pieced outfit on the Doll With Bolero Sweater stamp goes perfectly with the background! The flowers add such elegance to this! Love it!

Every time I saw a new Altered Notebook that Dangina did I swore it was my new favorite and then she would make a new one that I loved just as much - LOL! I love the purple and white color scheme on this one. The zebra stripes on the dress give it the mix of a little wild with the girly-ness of the flowers and bling! This one would totally be my style :) This Prima Doll is called Doll With Pocket Dress.

This is another adorable altered notebook featuring the Doll With Ruffle Dress stamp from Prima. I really love the neutral colors on this one and using two different patterns of paper to paper piece the dress! The embellishments really look gorgeous and I bet the gold embossing really looked amazing in person! 

And the last one uses the Doll With Swing Dress Stamp. I love this one! The pinks pop off the background and I love all the sentiments, and that camera is so cute! LOVE LOVE LOVE it!

Well...I hope you enjoyed Dangina's Altered Notebooks and Prima Album! I really love the variety of colors, styles and themes of the different notebooks! Some AMAZING and STUNNING WORK!

I have listed the newest release prima dolls last week in the store so be sure to check those out and I will be listing some of the new release prima collections for preorder as well over the next few days :)

Sunflower Sweetheart

Hi Friends and Stampers,

It's a new Holly-Day Monday and I am here to show you some stampy inspiration today.

MFT Sunflower Sweetheart

MFT Die-Namic Sunflower Sweetheart Die Set

MFT Die-Namics Jumbo Fishtail Banner Stax

Copic Markers

Copic X-Press It Paper

Candi Dots

Candi Fix it

Memento Black Ink

 

Oh My Gosh I love this stamp set and I plan to use it again and again.  I went ahead and bought the matchy dies to go with.  Now normally I do not mind fussy cutting, but I liked the dies that went with it and had some 3D in mind when I bought them.  I did not pop anything up here, but I did decide to go ahead and use the dies.....LOVE!!!   I cut out using the dies first.  Then I applied my stamp on an acrylic block and put a scrap piece of black under the cut out on the foam pad that I stamp on, so I could see the outline better.....JEEZ, so much easier to see right where to stamp. 

I'm also still crazy about the Candi Dots.  I used Icing, (white) and colored with my E09 Copic Marker.  I didn't have to scramble around looking for that perfect colored brad, I just had to color my Candi Dot the perfect color.  I like them because they still leave shimmer even though I colored them. 

As you can tell, I am so ready for fall!  It's been 107 here for a while and everytime we go out of the house to do anything, it seems to suck the life out of us, lol.  I went into the stashy hoarded stuff and pulled out this paper pad.  I knew it would be perfect for her. 

Have you seen all the wonderful yummy NEW ITEMS that Laura has added to the Loves Rubberstamps Store?  I went shopping TWICE!!!!  She might have to kick me off the team just to have stuff left for her customers, lol.  

I also want to remind you that you have today to finish up your Challenge Projects for the current Loves Rubberstamps Challenge - buttons and bows.  We start a New Challenge tomorrow, so you definetly do not want to miss out on that either.  Oh and you still have all week to Blog Hop on our Sunday Sensational Blog Hop.   We pick a name for the monthly drawing each week and then a winner each month.  We just picked a winner yesterday and Heidi won a store voucher for $20.00!!!  That would pay for the Sunflower Sweetheart stamp set with some money to spare! 

I hope you all have a great week!

A Watercolored Sympathy card!

Hello and Happy Saturday all!   It's Marcy and I have a watercolored card to share with you today! 

Here it is...

This is a sympathy card I made for a friend.  It features Contemporary Roses which is an MFT stamp set designed by Mona Pendleton.   This is such a gorgeous set and so versatile! When I first saw this stamp set, I thought it would perfect for this occasion!  I also thought the images from this set would look beautiful in watercolor so that's what I ended up doing.  For the roses and leaves, I decided to stamp them using some white embossing powder and then watercolored over them with my Koi watercolor paint set.  I cut out my flowers and then put them up on some dimensionals. I also added some Wink of Stella in clear to make these roses nice and shimmery.  For the background, I used some of my Tim Holtz distress inks mixed with water to give the background a watercolor effect.  I also took a small paintbrush and splattered it in random spots on my card for more interest.  I really love using my watercolor paint set but also love how distress inks can also be used to give a watercolor effect which is just as pretty!

Here are the Supplies Used:

 Contemporary Roses - (Mona Pendleton Design) MFT

Peacock Feathers - Tim Holtz Distress Ink

Spun Sugar -Tim Holtz Distress Ink

Shaded Lilac - Tim Holtz Distress Ink

Picked Raspberry-Tim Holtz Distress Ink

Be sure to stop by the Loves Rubberstamps store to see the items used on my card and all of the fantastic MFT stamp sets.  Also, we have a new "Sensational Sunday" blog hop which starts tomorrow so make sure to come back soon!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!

Hugs,
