Just Believe!

Happy Saturday all and hope everyone's having a great day!  I have a fun card to share with you all this weekend...

Here is my card....

I always have so much fun getting "girly" with my cards and the cute "Anya" images from The Greeting Farm are always perfect for that!  This image is called "Fairy Queen Anya" and she is super adorable.    I  just LOVE fairy princesses! :)  I colored Anya up with my Copic Markers and then added lots of Wink of Stella on her crown, wings and dress for lots of sparkle.  I decided to distress the pretty papers I used which are from a collection called Enchanted Garden by  Bo Bunny.  This collection is so beautiful and perfect for your mystical images!  Of course I had to add a bunch of Wild Orchid Crafts flowers and some bling too to finish off my card!

Here is the full supply list for my card:

Fairy Queen Anya - The Greeting Farm

Enchanted Garden - Bo Bunny

Black Tuxedo - Memento Ink

Distress Tool - Tim Holtz

Spun Sugar - Tim Holtz Distress Ink

Mono Multi Liquid Glue - Tombow

Anything Goes Challenge + DESIGN TEAM CALL

Hi Stampers!

Today we start our FAVORITE Loves Rubberstamps Challenge.... Anything Goes! We are also having a Loves Rubberstamps Design team call. You can see all the details and also how to apply in this by clicking here to go to the blog post.

Here is my project for the challenge...

I created the background using Tim Holtz Distress inks in Chipped Sapphire, Seedless Preserves, and Salty Ocean. I then used some Ranger Texture paste and a Hero Arts Stencil called Stars Pattern and created the raised stairs. This setncil also has some tiny dots mixed in with the star shapes too. After that dried I mixed some water and Perfect Pearls on my craft sheet and then splattered it using a paint brush onto the background.

I had been itching to use this cute Groovin' image from the Little Darlings Rubber Stamps Dollhouse Collection and I thought she would look cute against this background since she has little stars in her eyelids :) I just love her she is so fun! I colored her with copics, fussy cut her and popped her up on dimensionals.

The sentiments on my card are from the Avery Elle Stamp set called Written In The Stars. This will be listed in our store soon ... I am currently working on listing the Avery Elle line of stamps and dies. I used some kool tak clear foam under the gems to attach my vellum piece.

Here is a look at how I did the inside of the card using another sentiment from the Avery Elle set...

Be sure to keep checking our new items section in the store... I will be adding the perfect pearls, the hero arts stencil, texture paste and loads more very soon!

Hope to see you play along in our challenge and try out for our Design Team as well!!

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

Rule the World with Coffee!

Hi Friends and Stampers,

It's a Happy Holly-Day Monday!  Mostly because I am off today with the boys on their last day of Spring Break.   It's time for me to show you some Monday inspiration over at Loves Rubberstamps Inspiration Blog. 

MFT - Perk Up

MFT Die-Namics Blueprints 12

Sprinkles

I started with my Perk Up set and added the circle and flag from my Blueprints 12 set and viola!  Instant gratification!  This was a quick and easy card to put together and I NEED a lot of coffee cards for my friends.   So I am happy with this CAS design.  This is a set I can come back to over and over again and not get the same design.  

So how was your Sunday?  I had to work :(   But my dear husband was stoic enough to get up at 5:00 a.m. on his day off and get the boys up while I grabbed some COFFEE!  They went through their baskets and starting the Sugar Loading early.   Then with their flashlights, they went out to the patio for their Easter Egg hunt.  That was a lot of fun!  Then off to work I went.  We had a nice meal.  Traditional Potato Salad and beef ribs.  YUM.   I didn't have the time or the energy to put a big meal on after working for ten hours, so that was just nice.  

Tomorrow is a new Challenge over at the Loves Rubberstamps Challenge Blog and I hope to see your fabulous creations there.  Also, take a peek at the New Items in the store!  So fun! 

Thanks for Looking and have a Fabulous Day!

Holly

Congratulations Teresa! Please email: lovesrubberstamps@yahoo.com by April 11th to claim your prize.

Before I show you my project for today I wanted to let you know that we will be posting a DESIGN TEAM CALL for our Design Team term that starts May 1st and runs through August 30th. We will have the details and how to try out for the team on our Tuesday April 7th Challenge. You do not need prior design team experience to apply. We would love to have you try out! 

Today I wanted to create a scenery style card. I love sponging sky backgrounds and making outdoors scenes for my cards and I don't do it as often as I would like. Today my card was inspired by the outdoor scenes that Delphine creates. I have always admired her little outdoor scenes that she creates and I really love how she does her grass area to give the scene depth. So I read through a few of her tutorials and tried a scene of my own :) 

 

I don't think it turned out too shabby for the first time I tried this style. I really like how my grass area turned out...I tried something different with the sky and clouds and I am not sure I am really loving that part...but it may still grow on me - LOL! 

I didn't have any of the colors that Delphine uses in her tutorial so I had to use a mix of my copics and spectrum noir markers for the scene. I was pretty irritated because many of my spectrum noir markers were dried out! Some I had never even used yet and I am not happy about that! I have always kept them in a cool environment with no temperature extremes so I don't know why they are dry. So I was even more limited on my color choices because I had to find markers that worked! GRRRR! 

For my clouds I am awful at drawing the cloud shapes so I decided to use the cute cloud image in Paper Smooches Forest Whimsy set by stamping just the tops with Memento London Fog ink. It was darker than I wanted it to be so I ended up swirling my white gel pen over it and then blending that with my finger to try and tone it down. I also added clear wink of stella over my clouds for some shimmer. I want to try and find a really pale light gray ink to try this again because I don't want it to be as noticible, but I do love the cloud shapes in this stamp set. 

My sentiment panel is created using papers from the Prima Optimist paper pack which I will be listing in the store soon. 

Here is a closer look at my scene...

That sweet little girl is the Blush Babette image from The Greeting Farm. I really love the images from this collection. 

Thanks for stopping by today and don't forget to mark your calendars to check out our Design team call on Tuesday!

Now let's hop along and see what the Design Team ladies have in store for you...

Easter Card With Love

Hello Friends!  It's Marcy here with some inspiration for you all today!  I hope you're enjoying your weekend so far!

Here is an Easter card I've made....

I had so much fun making this card and especially with these cute bunnies from the Lawn Fawn set called Snow Day.  Even though this stamp set can easily be used for Christmas, it can also be used for Easter and many other occasions.  I mean who doesn't love cute bunnies, right?!! :) This card is going to my mom from my kids and it's perfect since there are 3 little bunnies to represent each of them!  For the background, I had fun watercoloring using some Tim Holtz distress inks over an embossed background stamp called BG Gingham Background from My Favorite Things.  I really like the way it came out with the soft colors which match the copic colors I used on this image.  To finish off my card, I scattered some sequins on top and also took out my bow it all to make a festive 3 looped bow!

Here is the full supply list for my card:

Snow Day - Lawn Fawn

BG Gingham Background - My Favorite Things

Copic Markers

Black Tuxedo - Memento Ink

Salty Ocean - Tim Holtz Distress Ink

Peacock Feathers - Tim Holtz Distress Ink

Mustard Seed - Tim Holtz Distress Ink

Versamark Stamp Pad - Tsukineko

Mono Multi Liquid Glue - Tombow

Wink of Stella - Coming soon!

Make sure to check out the Loves Rubberstamps store to see all of the adorable Lawn Fawn Set!  We also have a new Sensational Blog Hop starting tomorrow so be sure to to visit again!

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!  For those of you celebrating the Easter holiday, may you have a special day with families and loved ones!

Hugs,

Marcy
