Whew...

I haven't posted this week, because I haven't stamped anything new. I've been mass producing the cards I just showed you! Button Crazy!!! Love it!

I did make something new today:

I bought this set off Ebay probably 2 years ago. I just love it! I used Kraft and Red cardstock from su, adirondack espresso ink and papertrey vintage cream cardstock. I used my copics to color them in.

I added some buttons from my local dollar store. I just can't get enough of them!

Sorry, the lighting is kinda funny, It's quite charming in real life! (I think)

Have a good weekend!

My New Favorite Stamp Set

is the Quilter's Sampler from Papertrey Ink!!! I have been going crazy with it! I've been making Christmas card for our upcoming Craft Bazaars...Here's one:

LOTS of Coloring. I'm making this particular set for one of my Hair Clients for a Christmas Present. She loves to quilt....

Happy Halloween!

Well, I'm getting ready to go do Alex's hair for her wedding! It's Today!! Woo Hoo!

Congratulations Alex and Tom!

Anyways, I wanted to make some Halloween cards. It seems I only have 1 Halloween Stamp set and my Mom I think only has 1 too.

I actually airbrushed the edges around the image with N7. I stole some of Brooklyn's Halloween ribbon from Michaels. I have a friend that wants me to send her a halloween card, so I think this one might be for her *wink*

And this Image is the reason I bought this stamp set. Those kids are so sweet! I just had to have them. The last card and this card is in the same set from My favorite things.

Recipe: (For Both Cards) Stamp: My favorite Things

Paper: Pumpkin Pie, Elegant Eggplant, Basic Black

Ink: Adirondack Pitch Black, Copic Markers

Accessories: Su word window punch, medium oval punch and yellow marvy punch, Michaels ribbon, dimensionals

Where's the Remote?

I thought this was funny. I left the sentiment off, so you could use it for anything...

I dabbed my colorless blender pen all over the rug, to make it look likes it has texture.

I needed to step out of my comfort "kid card" zone and make some pretty adult friendly cards...

We finally got the "Bloomin' Beautiful" hostess set, and looky that-It's in the new catalog!

Anyways here's something a little different from me--Different colors, different style, everything.

I read on someone's blog today that you should sponge-for depth and warmth-so I kept that in mind...I knew I wanted a crack at this image with my Copics, and wanted to go with colors other than pink or blue... I distressed all the edges with just my finger nail and sponged all the layers with River rock. Here are the copics I used:

My Mom was nice enough to order me Boards & Beams from Papetrey Ink. Now I just need the Quilter one! I loooove Papertrey stamp and everything they carry!!!!



So I have come to realize that papertrey white and cream paper are the BEST when coloring with Copic Markers. I also use Adirodack Ink to stamp with--no smearing or bleeding. I carry the Earthtone collection of ink at my store. I've learned alot of coloring techniques and tips from sherrie, mish and maryanne. Check these talented ladies out!!

Have a great day!!!
