You are Beautiful!

Hello! It's Marcy here for Loves Rubberstamps Inspiration Saturday!!!

Hope all of you enjoyed your week and that some of you may also be able to enjoy an extended holiday weekend for Martin Luther King.  I am off of work on Monday so I'm looking forward to getting some additional crafting time in!

So today's card features the adorable Saturated Canary image called "Nevaeh".   I just love all of the Saturated Canary images and my collection is slowly growing.  Not only are they adorable but most of these images have the prettiest hair which I love to practice coloring with!  Nevaeh is no different and I had so much fun coloring up her hair and everything else with my copics!  I also added some stickles in "Pink Taffeta" on the ruffle and parts of her dress to give her more shimmer.  I went with one of my new favorite color combos of purple and teal.  I don't have a lot of paper collections with purple so I was excited to find this DCWV pad at Michaels called "Violet Leaf".   I also took out my new Christmas toy called the "Bow it All" and made this fancy bow.   Loving this new tool as I am not great with bows! Lol  The sentiment "You are Beautiful" comes from an MFT set called "DC Polka Dot Greetings".   I thought it was perfect to use along side the Beautiful Nevaeh! :)  Finally,  I added some  flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts and teal pearls from my stash.

Supplies Used:

Nevaeh-Saturated Canary

DC Polka Dot Greetings-MFT

Black Tuxedo-Memento Ink

Seedless Preserves-Tim Holtz Distress Ink

Copic Markers

Violet Leaf-DCWV

Flowers-Wild Orchid Crafts (Soon to come!)

Be sure to stop by the Loves Rubberstamps store to see all of the beautiful Saturated Canary images. Laura is constantly getting new ones in the store!

You still have time to join in on the "Use Metal" Loves Rubberstamps Challenge and don't forget to join tomorrow's "Sensational Sunday" blog hop starting right here to win some fun prizes!

Hope you like my card and have a wonderful weekend!

Just Sitting Here with Athina!

Hello Friends!

It is Athina here!  Friday once again so that means some Friday Inspiration!  I hope you had a great week!  It has been a busy one here, but that just means the weekend comes sooner!  Some of us will get an extra day this weekend, how nice. =)

So I found this adorable C. C. Designs Fuzzy Boots Birgitta in the store not to long ago.  I thought she is just adorable and would be perfect for this time of year.  Who doesn't love the warm boots, hat and sweater!  I colored here with copics then fussy cut her out so she could sit in the cute little window by Spellbinders (Labels 18).  The paper is Fancy Pants Designs - Blissful Blizzard.  I just commented the other day when Laura used it that I hadn't really used it much, so I was inspired to give it a shot.  I love the results!  I added some ribbon, bow, lace, flowers with brads and a little flag with an Amy R - Be Happy Sentiment.

 

Supplies used:

Tuxedo Black - Memento Ink
C. C. Designs Fuzzy Boots Birgitta

Copics

Spellbinders

Fancy Pants Designs - Blissful Blizzard

Amy R - Be Happy Sentiments

Be sure to stop by Loves Rubberstamps and see all the new items Laura has added.  There you will find a fun new line for the store - Whiff of Joy!

Hi Stampers!

Hope your week is going well. I am not feeling very good today so I am headed to the DR. this afternoon :(

Today is my Design team day for The Cutting Cafe. This week we had a real range of files to choose from...all the way from rainbows to snow! Now, even though I am so ready for Spring to arrive with all the rainbows and spring showers...I just received this super super super cute little snowman digi from The Doodle Garden called Rolly Polly Snow Baby and I just couldn't wait to use it on something so I knew I HAD to choose to use the Snow Word Shaped Card Template :)

Now, I don't have a cutting machine but Regina's files are still very usable by hand cutting which is what I did for this card. I used scissors around the outside and then a craft knife to cut the inside pieces. It really didn't take too long, so don't be afraid to try these types of files even if you don't have a cutting machine. Her files are very user friendly!

The little hat and mittens are part of the Snow Word file. I paper pieced them using papers from the Echo Park Winter Wishes Collection and then added liquid applique for the trim. My sentiment is from the Some Odd Girl Winter Friends stamp set. 

I thought I would give you a little peek at what I have been working on...

These are my piles of new WHIFF OF JOY stamps that I have been working on adding to our store...yep...not done yet but getting closer :) 

Thanks for stopping by today! Be sure to stop by The Cutting Cafe Inspiration Blog to check out what my fellow design team members created! Also while you are there...leave some love for the team and be entered in a chance to win some free files of your choice! Awesome deal!! 

Now I am off to lay down for a bit before my DR Appt....

Have a great day all!

Laura

Aloha!

Hello Friends! It's Marcy and I'm here to share some inspiration for a wonderful Saturday! :)

I know we are still in the Winter season but I'm already looking forward to the Summer months.  Because with Summer comes warm weather, the beaches and hopefully maybe a Summer vacation???  A girl can dream, right?!! LOL  Well this sweet image definitely makes me smile and dream!  This is "Aloha" and comes from the Doodle Garden Collection from MFT.  Don't you see yourself right now on a sandy beach drinking a pina colada?! :)

I wanted to go colorful with this card and used a fun paper collection called "Summer Soul" by Fancy Pants. Perfect papers for my summer theme!  I colored up this cute Hawaiian gal with my copics. and then added some glitter to her flowers to give her more shimmer.  Behind her is one of my favorite new dies called Die-Namics Oval Dainty Doily Die by MFT.  MFT has such awesome dies and the store carries a bunch of them! I finished off my card with some pink polka dot ribbon I had in my stash, some flowers and some pink pearls.  The sentiment "have a sun-sational day" also comes with this fun stamp set.

Supplies Used:

Aloha-MFT Doodle Garden

Die-Namics Oval Dainty Doily Die-MFT

Black Tuxedo-Memento Ink

Copic Markers

Summer Soul-Fancy Pants Designs

Flowers-Wild Orchid Crafts (Soon to come!)

Be sure to stop by Loves Rubberstamps to see all of adorable images from MFT's Doodle Garden collection and so much more!
