Stampin' In Alaska

Hi!  I have two projects to share with you tonight.  The first for this week's There She Goes challenge is to create a card/project using the theme "Presents/Gift Giving".  What better gift than a little bag of Hershey kisses! I used two TSG sets for this project.  The wrapped gift is from "Scent-sational" and the sentiment is from "Blossom by Blossom".  The little gift bag is from Martha Stewart and the image was colored with Copic Markers. My second project tonight for the Lil' Inkers Design Blog .  Laura, owner of LDB, is having an impromptu challenge to CASE the following card. I chose to focus on the colors in Debby's Card and this is what I created using "Rain Boy" by Lil' Inker Designs. I used this week's sketch from Splitcoast Stampers as my starting point.  The little boy image was colored with Copic Markers and the umbrella has been paper pieced.  Memory Box dies were used for the clouds and ta...

This week the Mo's Challenge Blog is asking us to use Buttons.  I had this cute elephant image called " I Forgot " colored and on my craft desk.  This is going to a co-worker who is having a baby girl in a couple of months.  Usually, baby cards don't come easily to me but this one went together in a snap! The image was colored with Copic markers.   I made a frame using Spellbinders Picot Edge circle and a standard circle for the inside.  I thought the designer paper was just to cute to cover completely!  I added several buttons, baker's twine and a little sentiment from Mike's $1 bin.  Oh, I added a zig zag machine stitched border. Thanks for stopping by for a closer look!

I'm back with another post tonight!  I think I may be skimming in with my challenge post this week. This week's Sassy Cheryl Challenge is a sketch.  I love a good sketch and this one is no exception: Here is what I came up with using the sketch: I used Cheryl's "Sally's Letter" digital image for my card.  The image was colored with Copic Markers and layered with papers from Jellibean Soup Blossom Soup.  The finished card size is 5.5 square. Hope you have a great (and creative) week!

It's a brand new week of sharing with all of the nosy "Sassettes" (including me!) for Cheryl's Show Me  Challenge .  DH snuck out to go caribou hunting this weekend and left me alone with check book.  :-)   Shhhh.... don't tell him all of the goodies that I found at my LSS (Stamp Attic) and Michael's. Sorry, I cut off the packaging, but the giraffe image and sentiment is from Art Impressions.  I laughed so hard when I saw this set!  It describes many days that I wish I could make this a to-go order!!  I hope to play with him really soon.  If you look closely you will also see the beginning of my Sassy Cheryl challenge card for this week.  Isn't Sassy Sally a cutie!! Edit:  So many have commented they had to enlarge the photo to read the sentiment I mentioned.  Sorry about that!  It says " A double cafe' mocha vodka valium latte... to go please."  And he looks pretty frazzled!!   That's all I have this we...

This week on the Sweet Stop blog , the ladies have provided a "Spin" with the sketch.  Our challenge is to create a "Welcome Fall" project.  I was recently the lucky winner of Sweet 'n Sassy's " Autumn Bounty " clear stamp set.  What a perfect set to welcome Fall! I took a little different direction with the sketch this week and actually used the left diagonal panel as the card front; exposing the inside.  Below is a photo of the card front: Next is a photo with the card opened: The pumpkin image was colored with Copic Markers then die cut with Spellbinder nestibilities.  This is a standard A2 card size (5.5 x 4.25) and the front of the card was cut diagonally then layered with designer paper.  I added a Prima leaf and a rhinestone sticker that I found at Micheal's yesterday.  I am also submitting this for the Sweet 'n Sassy September Fall Frenzy Virtual Stamp Day over on Splitcoast Stampers.  Giovana challenge...

It's time for another Sweet 'n Sassy digital challenge! This week's challenge is to create a pop-up card.  Here is what I created this week by using a pop-up card tutorial over on Splitcoast Stampers by Beate. I used " Eskimo Kisses " from the Sweet 'n Sassy digital image store for this card.  The sentiment is also digital, but I don't remember where I got it.  (Sorry!)  The cute couple has been paper pieced and colored with Copic Markers.  I applied liquid applique and a fine glitter to the coat trim of the little girl.  They have been placed on a Spellbinder heart die which was dry embossed and edged with diamond Stickles.  This is my first attempt at a pop-up card, but certainly will not be my last! A close up of the cute kissing couple! I kept the outside fairly simple and the organza bow is used to hold the card closed.    Because of the pop-up, the card is a little thicker than usual.  I cut a couple of hearts...

This week's challenge on the There She Goes Clear Stamps blog is to create something sweet.  In keeping with their 4th Birthday celebration, I created a Birthday card. I used the cake image from "Scent-sational" for this clean and simple design.  I have combined it this perfectly coordinating digital sentiment.  It's a freebie that you can find on Create with TLC .  (Be sure to give Paulette a Thank You for all of her hard work!)  The image was colored with Copic Markers and orange Stickles were added to the candle flame.  Baker's twine and pearls are the finishing touches. Thanks for stopping to take a closer look!  Hope you have a great Friday!
