Featured Stmper 107 Sgtstampers

Happy Sunday everyone and you know what that means: Featured Stamper time on SCS.

Today's lucky stamper is Sgtstampers. I chose this card: Holiday Hello. We are to change at lest two things on the card. I changed the colors, image, moved the sentiment, embossed where the top ribbons were and the size of the card which is 4 x 4.

My base card is Cranberry Crisp with Kraft and Basic Black. The image was stamped in tuxedo black and colored in with Copics. This is a pretty straight forward card, I did not round the tops of the image panel, I wanted to keep a clean look.

Thanks for stopping by!

I stamped the large heart in Ridinghood Red and cut it out and attached with dimensionals. I then stamped the three hearts in Pale Plum and punched them out and attached two over the flower image and one on the large heart.

Happy Saturday all!

I love the simple design and the colors. I made mine into a birthday card since I don't drink coffee, plus I need a birthday card for my sons friend from Pre-School who is having a party next Saturday.

I started with a piece of Ruby Red and ran that through the Swiss Dots folder, I then added a layer of River Rock (I still love this color) and used the thin Ric Rac strip for the edges in place of the decorative one on the original. The image is from Our Craft Lounge Anna Mae. It stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored in with SU markers and blender pen. I layered this up with the Labels 2 nesties and placed it up on dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment in Ruby Red directly onto the River Rock!

This was so simple!! Thanks for stopping by!!

Color Challenge 201, OCCC

Good morning and happy Tuesday. here is my card for today's Color Challenge to use Kraft, Baja Breeze and Not Quite Navy. If you look at a post from a couple of days ago, I almost used the same colors. I actually pulled out these exact colors and thought, no, these don't right together so I grabbed Buckaroo Blue and Bashful Blue with Kraft. Well I couldn't have been more wrong, these colors are awesome together. So, here is my card using Not Quite Navy, Baja Breeze and Kraft. I actually just purchased Kraft!! LOVE IT!! Okay, on to the card.

I used Kraft for my base and I ran it through the Cuttlebug with Swiss dots. I used the Labels 2 nesties to cut out the focal image panel. The images are from Autumn Leaves, Pocket Silhouettes and Best Yet. I colored in the images with inks and a blender pen. I used Close to Cocoa for the center of the flower, then NQN and Baja for the rest. I put Crystal Effects on the center blue of the flower. I cut out the image and adhered with a dimensionals. The butterfly is from the same set. I also colored in with inks and a blender pen. It is also adhered with a dimensionals.

I added a large silver brad to the panel a button on the sentiment panel.

The Sentiment panel is stamped with an image from Pocket Silhouettes in Baja Breeze and the sentiment is stamped in NQN.

Featured Stamper 101- JayDeKay, OCCC

Happy Sunday everyone!

Here is my card for today's Featured Stamper on SCS JayDeKay. She had an awesome gallery, you should check it out!! I also made this for the OCCC to use two shades of blue along with a neutral color. My two shades of blue are Bashful Blue and Buckaroo Blue along with Kraft being my neutral.

The FS challenge is one where you pick a card from the FS gallery and change two or more things on it. This is the card I chose: ssnotime34 Happy Critters. I liked the layout and that is kind of what I stuck with. The card size is 4 1/2 x 4 1/2. The bottom panel is square, but he other panel is more rectangle to fit the image I chose. I also changed the colors, theme, moved the sentiment, added the button, omitted the stitching and did some doodling. The back Kraft panel was ran through the Cuttlebug. The square panel had Basic Gray Boxer dp and the image was colored in with watercolored pencils and a blender pen.

I hope you like what I did here!!

Limited Supply 202- Hearts

Hi! I made another one for this fun challenge to use hearts, but the catch was the it use pink or red, heart image, embossed hearts or anything that has any of the above on the card. I went with an all Pink Pirouette and Whisper White card. I did the negative embossed folder technique with the block heart folder. The image was stamped in Dazzle Versamark and then Pink Pirouette and clear embossed, I did the same for the sentiment, I cut them out with my nesties and layered the, on Pink Pirouette, Each fo the images are up on dimensionals. The ribbon is wrapped half way around the card and adhered in the back. I made the bow and attached a big pink button in the middle.

Here is a close up of the sentiment. I used stickles for the heart. It is really sparkly IRL. You can kind of see the shimmer on the letters from the Versamark.

Thanks for stopping by and have a terrific weekend!

Color Challenge 200

Hi,
I made another one for this challenge because I was not thrilled with my first one which is the one below this post. I used Flower Filled for this one. I stamped the boots in Stazon UltraMarine and cut them out. I stamped the stems is Stazon green. I then stamped the flowers in Pumpkin Pie and the Ultramarine. I stamped the pumpkin one's again onto WW and punched them out and adhered them on top of the other ones with pop dots. I then added blue gems to the middle. The other flowers have stickles in the middle as well as the button on the boot. I used the Garden Green for "grass" and sued the Martha Stewart edge punch for that. I added orange brads to to bottom with my Crop-a-Dial. The Butterflies were made with the MS punch and sponged with the Pumpkin Pie and Ultramarine inks, attached with pop dots and the smaller blue gems to the body. The sentiment is the Cute and Curly set. I trimmed around the sentiment to make it fit. I then added the primas with a crystal brad. I cuttlebugged the white cs with birds and swirls.
