Monster Love

Who doesn't love cute adorable little monsters?!!!!  This sweet image is part of My Favorite Things Monster Sized stamp set, and I just could not resist adding them to my ever growing collection of images.  

The monster and stars were stamped with My Favorite Things Black Licorice Hybrid ink on Copic Xpress It cardstock and then colored with Copic markers.  After coloring the images I added Judikins Diamond Glaze to the eyes and stars to give them all added dimension.  The sentiment is included in the stamp set and was also inked with the MFT Hybrid ink.  The sketch is from the latest My Favorite Things challenge.

I am entering this card into the 

My Favorite Things Sketch Challenge #375

Joy at Christmas

Hard to believe that it is the first day of December already!!  Time flies when you are busy moving and babysitting the grand kids!  

Today's card is another one I colored up last year and features the Stamping Bella image Tiny Townie Jenny feels Joy available here.  The image was colored with Copics, and then I added Stampendous Fun Flock to her dress and shoes, and touch of Judikins Diamond Glaze to the berries in her hair.

Little Mummy

Halloween is quickly approaching - soon the little ghosts and goblins will be out trick or treating and my card today is perfect for the season.  

This is "Mummy" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps that I colored with Copics.  The card front is black card stock that I ran through my Cuttlebug to get the pumpkin embossing, which I then highlighted with orange and green Viva Decor Inka Golds.  After wrapping the card front with some bits of torn cheesecloth, I mounted the fussy cut image and a sentiment from High Hopes stamps to finish it off.

Just to let You Know....

I probably shouldn't tell you this but I almost forgot to post a card for today.  Blame it on school!!  I spent the entire day at student orientation in downtown Calgary, learning all the ins and outs for the course I am starting next week, and by the time I got home, all I wanted to do was relax, so................ it is now 11pm my time and I just remembered to do this post.  



 

This sweet image is another fabulous image from Stamping Bella featuring Petunia the pig and new chick friends - Nice to See You Petunia available here.  And before you ask, yes the u is missing from the sentiment because you are missing "U".  The image was colored with Copics, then fussy cut and put on a background that I created with some Copic Various Ink refills and Colorless Blender solution.  The glasses that the animals are all wearing received a coat of Judikins Diamond Glaze to replicate the look of real glass.

Summertime Bliss

In honor of the first official day of summer, my card today features an adorable image from Saturated Canary digital images.

 

This sweet image is entitled Soda Pop and I have printed her out on Copic Xpress It cardstock, then colored her with Copic sketch markers and added Judikins Diamond Glaze to her glasses.  The sentiment is from Lili of the Valley.

I Like....

Today is often referred to as Throwback Thursday, so as a salute to that, my card today is not a throwback card, but the subject is definitely from another decade - welcome to Throwback Thursday 80's style.  

 

This sweet image is Stamping Bella's Uptown Girl Farrah Loves Flashdance available here.  I colored the image with Copic Sketch Markers, added Judikins Diamond Glaze to her bubble, Wink of Stella silver accents on the stereo, and randomly drew lines around the entire image with a Sakura Clear Star pen.  After cutting the image and surrounding mat with a Spellbinder die, the image was then mounted on older Fancy Pants paper.  The musical notes were cut with Memory Box dies, and the sentiment is included with the image.

Snowlady Greetings

Welcome to the first day of the last month of 2014, and to welcome in the new month it is time to show a card for this month's challenge at One Crazy Stamper.  The theme this month is ANYTHING GOES and I have stamped up a cute High Hopes image entitled Snow Sweet Snowlady.

 

The image is colored with Copics and then I have added Judikins Diamond Glaze to the candy buttons for dimension, as well as added gold pearls with a Viva Décor pearl pen.  After fussy cutting the image I popped it up using 3D foam squares from Scrapbook Adhesive on the card front made from dp and ribbon from my stash.  The sentiment is also from High Hopes.

Just BEE-ing Me

One full week into the new year, and I hope everyone had a great holiday season and are ready to get to creating wonderful projects.  For this week's Terrific Tuesday post for One Crazy Stamper I have a super cute card!

 

My card features an image and sentiment from YOUR NEXT STAMP Smiley Happy Critter Crew Set Three.  I stamped the bee on Copic X-press It cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, colored with my Copic sketch markers, then added Judikins Diamond Glaze to the eyes, and Stardust Stickles to the wings for added dimension.  After fussy cutting the image I matted it with black cardstock and popped it up on the card front with pop dots.  The card front and interior feature dp from Bo Bunny's Zip-a-dee-doodle collection.  The bee's flight path was created with a black Viva Decor Pearl Pen, while the border was created by embossing a strip of black cardstock, and then highlighting the design with the jade Viva Decor Inka Gold.
