Happy Saturday All!

I can't believe another Saturday has rolled around! Here is my card for One Crazy Stamper. Don't you just love Stamping Bella's Senior-Ita Wanda?! It doesn't get any cuter than Wanda sending you a big sloppy kiss! MWAHHHHH! 

I always colour 2 images when I am making a card. It helps to build up your stash and in case you make a huge mistake you have a back up as well.  I decided to use the design paper from Echo Park's We Are Family. Echo Park is one of my favourite companies for paper! I always pick my paper first and then colour to coordinate with the paper. It just works the best for me! I used dies from Spellbinders (Lacey Circles) and Pretty Pink Posh (Stitched Borders 3). A bit of ribbon, some enamel dots and cabochon flowers were my embellishments of choice for these cards. I added Crystal Stickles to the flower enters and on Wanda's lips.

 This stamp comes with 2 sentiments. I used both on these cards. Of course I always use some of the scraps from when I trimmed my paper to add on the inside of my cards.

Skin: E00, E11, R20

Blog Hop

Hello All "Hoppers"!

Today Art Impressions is doing a blog hop with Chameleon Pens and Perfect Paper Crafting. 

You should have arrived here from Perfect Paper Crafting

Below is my finished cards using the Ai Little People stamp called "Little Sprout" (Sku# 4317). I think this little character is absolutely adorable!

This was the first time I have used the new Chameleon Markers. I choose to use the Cool Tone set. They are really neat as you can get multiple colours from one pen. 

  The first step with the pens is to choose between 2 nibs: the soft brush or bullet nib. Then you insert the marker into the mixing chamber which holds a blending solution. The longer you hold it in the solution the lighter the color will start off. You can sort of see the color variation from light to dark on my scrap piece of paper. You can view a tutorial on the Chameleon website or click here.

It takes a bit of practice but it's really fun to play with these pens!

I was so excited to try out the Perfect Paper Crafting tool called Perfect Layers Mini and the Perfect Cutting Mat. Wow I was very impressed with how easy it is to cut perfect borders around your projects. You just line up the "catch lip" against the edge of your art and using a knife press firmly while cutting along the edge! There are 8 different border sizes! I don't think I'll use my paper trimmer ever again LOL!

Here's the simple design on the inside of my card.

Markers used:

Copics: 

E00, E11, R20

Chameleons: 

BL3 (Blue sky)

BG4 (Aqua Marine)

PR4 (Purple Grape)

Gabriel Loves Soccer!

Howdy 

I am just loving this New Release All About Boys from High Hopes Stamps! I love them all! Today I am using the stamp called Gabriel Loves Soccer! This is a perfect image as soccer has become such a popular sport, especially among the young boys and girls! I am sure you know someone that would appreciate a card made with Gabriel! 

I decided to use paper from the Doodlebug Back To School collection! I just love the vibrant primary colours! I layered all my design paper with matching cardstock as well as my image and sentiment. I used a sentiment from the new Sentiment #3 Set. I've had the MFT stackable star die forever and finally put it to good use! A little bit of twine with a knot and voila my card is done!

I left the inside blank until I need to use it for an occasion then I will stamp a sentiment.

Copics Used:

Skin: E00, E11, R20

Hair: Y21, YR23, E15

Top: B24, B26, B28, R29
