Little One

I still have a couple of Sugar Nellie Christmas themed cards to show you all, but for today's post I am switching stamp companies to another of my favorites - Lili of the Valley.  Just before Christmas LOTV announced some new baby stamps and I just could not resist, so here's the first of six new images.

 

This adorable image is entitled "Balloon Basket" which I have colored with Copics then cut out using a gorgeous Spellbinder die.  The image was then popped up on dp from Authentique's Delightful collection and some beautiful lace 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.

Fun and Excitement

So for today's post I have another Sugar Nellie digital image entitled Gift Wrapping - the image was part of the Winter Wonderland release, but since there was nothing on the image that screamed Christmas, I choose to color her up in bright spring colors.

I colored her with Copics, added sparkle with a Sakura Star pen, Smooch Illuminate on the wings, and added gold pearls throughout the card front with a Viva Décor Pearl pen.  The card base was made using multiple Spellbinders Grand Dies.  The sentiment is from Your Next Stamp.

Elfie Christmas!

As promised last week here's another Sugar Nellie digital image that I colored up with my Copics!  This is Elf Made Magic.

 

 

After coloring the image I used Smooch to give sparkle to the wings, some of the  Spellbinders Holly accent dies, and a gold Viva Decor Pearl pen to add depth to the card front.  The sentiment is an older Just Rite stamp that I colored with matching Copic colors, then inked with an Antique Linen Distress ink pad.  The dp is from Carta Bella's So This Is Christmas collection.

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.

Getting a Jump Start

It's a little early to start showing off Christmas cards for next year, but that's what I have for today!  I actually had this image and several others colored up and ready to make into cards early in December, but then life got in the way, and everything got put on the back burner.

 

 

This beautiful digital image is from Sugar Nellie and is entitled "TIME TOGETHER", and is one of several newer images that were released just in time for the holiday season.  I have colored the images with Copic Sketch markers, then cut and matted it using a Spellbinder die.  The dp is from Carta Bella, snowflakes are from Maya Road, sentiment is from Lili of the Valley, and the jute trim is a recent purchase from a local big box store.

     I have a few other cards ready to post using the Sugar Nellie images, so stayed tuned for more!

New Year, New Challenge

Welcome to a New Year and a new challenge theme for One Crazy Stamper!

To kick off this new year, we have a wonderful sponsor for this months ANYTHING GOES challenge and that is YOUR NEXT STAMP.

 

 My card features one of the cute images from the Smile Happy Critter Crew Set Three stamp set.  I have colored the image with Copics, then fussy cut it and adhered it to the card front.  The card front was created by first using Copic Various Refills colors BG57 and G94 on a sheet of acrylic ( re purposed from packaging from a Spellbinder ) - I randomly added dots of color to one side of the acrylic and then allowed the colors to blend together by tilting the sheet.  After the colors dried, the sheet was run through my Cuttlebug with an embossing folder.  To finish the card front, I stamped the included sentiment and cut the talk bubble, and added buttons for bubbles.
