SugarPea Designs - Mix It Up # 5 - Whisky Business

Hello Stampin' friends! I made a card yesterday for Hannah's 17th B-day...which is today and I still can't believe she is 17 years old...where has the time gone?!....Well, I think getting inky yesterday  sparked up my crafty spirit or magically rekindled my absent mojo. So, I headed back down to my craft-room this afternoon on a mission to make a card for the SPD - Mix It Up # 5 Challenge (LOVE the concept of this FUN challenge) with this sweet SugarPea Designs Whisky Business Stamp set...ADORE her to bits!

I took inspiration from both the sketch and the from some of the beautiful and vibrant colours in the yummy inspirational photo!

I started off by making some watercolored paper with my Peerless Water Colors inspired by some of the yummy colours from the Mix it Up inspirational photo. While, my water colour paper was drying I coloured up the Whisky Business girl, the KitchenAid stand-mixer, whisk attachment and the layered cake with my Copics and cut them out with the coordinating Whisky Business Sugar Cuts.  

I used the largest and second largest die from the Zig Zag Stitched Rectangles Sugar Cuts to create the frame and popped it up on the card with foam adhesive. I cut the fishtail banner from the Stitched Flags Sugar Cuts and stamped a sentiment from the Whisky Business Stamp set on water-coloured paper with a smaller stitched fishtail flag also from the Stitched Flags Sugar Cuts. I wrapped the stitched sentiment flag with purple AC Hemp Twine and popped up the adorable little stand-mixer. Finally, I sprinkled around some pretty purple YNS Gumdrops. 

And I finished off the inside of the card, as per usual, with a water coloured tag cut with the Gift Tag Sugar Cuts,  stamped another sentiment from the set and then popped up the layered cake on the tag.

Thanks SO much for stopping by and havin' a little look at my Whisky Business card for the SugarPea Designs Mix It Up Challenge # 5!

Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge - March 15 - Rainbow...Lucky Me...

Hello stampin' friends! Welcome to the NEW challenge over at the Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge - Rainbow!  I knew when I saw the NEW CCIC challenge was Rainbow I had to use my Reverse Confetti Weather it Together Stamp set and coordinating Weather it Together Confetti Cuts. I thought I would do some watercolouring too; inspired by the pretty vases of coloured water in the inspiration photo.

I needed some inspiration for the card design and found this great sketch over at Sunday Stamps...perfect for my rainbow card!

I used a technique that I've coined "Reverse Watercolour".  I made several swatches of watercoloured paper by laying down a watercolour wash with my Peerless Watercolours. I set the sheets aside and allowed them to dry. When dry, I strategically die-cut various shapes from the water coloured paper and stamp over the watercolouring. I cut the circles from various watercoloured swatches of paper with the Reverse Confetti Circles 'N Scallops Confetti Cuts. I stamped the sentiment from the Reverse Confetti A Friend Like You Stamp set  on the large yellow circle. I cut the clouds and sun from the watercoloured swatches and then stamped with the coordinating stamps from Weather it Together Stamp set.  I added a smattering of Your Next Stamp Gumdrops in various rainbow colours. Finally, I used Heidi Swapp Black Velvet Color Shine spray mixed with a little water and spattered the card and added an AC Hemp cord bow to the sun.

Thanks So much for stopping by and havin' a wee peek at my Reverse Confetti rainbow card for the Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge - Rainbow.

Reverse Confetti...SKFYTT # 20 & Exciting News...A Note From the Heart!

Hello fellow 'Fetti Fans! I am beyond thrilled to be able to share some super exciting news today!!! Jen asked me to join the Reverse Confetti - Challenge Crew for a 6 month rotation...Whoo Hoo, YAY, Yippee!!! I had such a blast when I joined the Confetti Crew as the 'Fetti Friend for September and October so I jumped at another chance to hang out with the RC Crew!!! I'm absolutely ecstatic...I just LOVE all things.... 

So, I just had to make a card for this special announcement and what better way than to join the Reverse Confetti Sketch For You To Try with Rocky Raccoon from the Quirky Cuties Collection!

Here is the great sketch that we have this month and all the challenge details are available on the Reverse Confetti Blog...SFYTT# 20 

I made my card with Authentique Glistening 6x6 paper pad and paper pieced Rocky Raccoon and used my Copics to add in some shading. Then I cut him out and popped him up on the circle panel cuts with the Circles 'N Scallops Confetti Cuts.  

I stamped a sentiment from the Rocky Raccoon Stamp set and cut it out with the fishtail banner form the Tag Me Confetti Cuts and I added some hearts cut from the wood-grain pattern paper with the Love Note Confetti Cuts. I punched a hole in the large die cut heart to a little heart tag and added some hemp twine. 

I finished off the inside of my card too....I stamped a shadow image of Rocky and added another sentiment from the Freida Fox Stamp set. 

Thanks SO much for popping by and having a little peek at my card for the Reverse Confetti January SFYTT # 20!

My Favorite Things Stamps...WSC # 84...Here's The Story!

Hello stampin' friends! MFT, Wednesday Stamp Club has another fabulous sketch challenge this week!

The lucky winner will receive a $15 gift voucher and if the winner uses MFT stamps, they will receive $5 in bonus bucks, for a total of $20!!!  Hope you can get sketchy with us this week!

Here is the great sketch that we have for you to use this week!

For my card today, I used the fabulous MFT a´ la modes, Here's the Story! I coloured her with my Copics and cut her out and pop-dotted her up on the panel cut with the Rectangle STAX Die-namics. I paired this ALM girlie up with the pretty Authetique, Fresh 6x6 papers. This card is definitely a CAS  card for me and I didn't add really stuck to the sketch. The only thing I changed out was I used the Chat Bubbles Die-namics for the sentiment. I used Joanne's Cut and Re-cut technique to shorten the chat bubble to fit the sentiment. 

Here is the inside...I stamped the ALM Here's the Story girl again in Grey Flannel Momento ink and I used my all time fave, Layered Label Die-namics, the Vertical Greetings II Die-namics and Fishtail Flags STAX Die-namics to build the sentiment panel. The sentiment is from the ALM Here's the Story Stamp set.

My very good friend and co-worker was just promoted to a management position. I made this card congratulating her on this accomplishment. I used the wonderful Vertical Greetings Stamp and Die-namics set. The sentiments are so inspiring, feature a beautiful mix of fonts and make fabulous looking cards, quickly. I can't seem to get enough of this gorgeous BoBunny, Country Garden 6x6 paper pad lately. I stamped a sentiment from the A La Modes Grad Girl stamp set on a pattern paper cut with the Fishtail Flags STAX. I also used the Simply Scallops Die-namics and the Circle Tag Die-namics that comes in the Let's Toast Stamp and Die-namics set.

Here is the inside of my card...I used another one of the beautiful sentiments from the Vertical Greetings Stamp and Die-namics set and stamped another sentiment from the A La Modes Grad Girl stamp set and a Fishtail Flag banner.
