October Blog Hop

October 1st is here; the children have been back in school for a month, Christmas is getting closer  and we have a new challenge at OCS as well as another blog hop.  The challenge theme is Christmas/Halloween/Fall.  Remember you  can have up to 5 entries, but no digital stamps.  The challenge prize will be two High Hopes Rubber Stamps of the winner's choice.

We are still celebrating the "Joys of the Seasons", the newest release of Christmas/Halloween/Fall rubber stamps from High Hopes Rubber Stamps.

While we are continuing this celebration of this newest release of Christmas/Halloween/Fall rubber stamps the gals from both the High Hopes and OCS Design Teams are hosting another Blog Hop from the 1st to the 5th of this month and and winner/winners will be chosen on the 7th.  Make sure you visit each gal to see what new release they have on their blog and then go back to the challenge posts and leave a comment on the OCS or High Hopes blogs.  Make sure you check the posts for both OCS and High Hopes blogs on the 7th to see if you are the winner.

 

This cutie is "Frankie" available here.  I have colored the image with Copics, then fussy cut and adhered it to the card front that features the Wonky Squares Spellbinders die, a sentiment from High Hopes Stamps available here, and some orange pearls made with a Viva Décor pen.

To Have & To Hold

Who loves weddings and who loves Lili of the Valley images!!!  I do, and so when I can combine the two into one card it's all about the love.  Lili of the Valley recently released new images and one was another gorgeous image of one of my favorite couples, so.....

 

.....here's the final result!!  This is Bride and Groom that I have colored with Copics, then framed with a Spellbinders die and mounted on dp from my stash.  The lace, ribbon, flower and sentiment are all from my stash.

Happy Magical Birthday





Welcome to another installment of Terrific Tuesday for One Crazy Stamper!  My card today features another super cute image from our sponsor this month YOUR NEXT STAMP - this is Magical Birthday.

 

I have stamped the image on Copic Xpress It cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, then colored it with Copic Sketch markers.

I highlighted some of the details of the image with Smooch Top Coat Illuminate to add sparkle, and added stitch lines with a Sakura white Glaze pen on the dp which is from Authentique's Sweetness collection.  A few pearls created with the magenta Viva Decor Pearl pen, and the included sentiment finish off the card.

November Challenge Theme

Welcome to a new monthly challenge for One Crazy Stamper, where we would like you to celebrate November with all of your gorgeous Christmas cards.  My card this week has NO coloring!!!!!!  Yes that's right, I did not pick up a Copic marker, or a waterpen and my distress reinkers, to create my card, instead I experimented with Stampendous enamels and color fragments.
 

 

I started by stamping several sizes of the Just Rite poinsettia set on to red and jade cardstock with a Versa Mark Embossing Ink pad, then sprinkled them with Ranger Embossing Tinsel and used my heat gun to emboss all of them.  The jade cardstock was put aside, while I fussy cut the red poinsettia's out, then bent and layered the three varying sizes and added a gold brad to form three flowers.  I put those aside, and went back to the jade cardstock and randomly used the Versa Mark Embossing ink pad on the card front, and sprinkled the Stampendous Aged Silver Embossing Enamel over the wet ink.  To add more depth I used both the Stampendous Powder Blue Color Fragments, and the Stampendous Chiffon Color Fragments intermixed in the Aged Silver Enamel, and then heat everything up from the bottom side of the card front.  To finish the card front I attached ribbon and the finished flowers, and a sentiment that I found in my stash - the sentiment was cut with a Spellbinders die.

 

Since it's a new month there is a new challenge theme at One Crazy Stamper of Christmas projects, and if you enter you could win a fantastic prize - check out the details here.
