Chanel!

Hi Digi Doodle Fans!
"Tis The Season" for Holiday parties and this adorable girl from Digi Doodle Studios called "Chanel" is ready to go! Chanel is from the New Release called "Masquerade Ball".

I thought the perfect Holiday Party colours for Chanel would be gold! I chose papers from my stash that were gold themed and matted them with black cardstock. A bit of gold ribbon, and some sequins finish everything off.

I added glossy accents to the bubbles and here you get a better idea of the gold foiled papers that I used.

Copics Used:

Skin: E00, E11, E21, R20

Hair: E55, E57, E59

Outfit: Y21, Y23, Y26, Y28/ C7, C9

Bubbles: B000, B01

Make sure you head on over to the Digi Doodle Studios online store and see all the new digital stamps from the "Masquerade Ball" Release! You're going to be wowed!

Happy Stamping!

Girlfriends Christmas!

Hi Ai Fans!

It's Friday so that means I am over on the Art Impressions Blog sharing another new release, the "GF Christmas" set!

The set comes with the main image, 6 sentiments and 6 smaller stamps you can use as well! Great value if you ask me!!

I used papers from the Scrapberry's Elegantly Festive 6x6 collection on the card and added Stickles to each of the gals hats! I also used my Brother Cut N Scan to fussy cut around the image and then popped it up with foam tape!

I decided to do a second card using more traditional colours for Christmas!

Here's one of the sentiments on the decorated inside of my cards.

New Challenge!

Hi HH And OCS Fans!

Wow December first already! I'm starting to get in the panic mode that I don't have my Christmas shopping done! Today starts the new Challenges over at High Hopes and One Crazy Stamper and the theme is "Christmas/ Winter". I decided to make a simple yet pretty card using the "Simple Winter Tree". I wanted to make a card with very little Copic colouring for a nice change.

To start I stamped my trees on Copic friendly paper and then stamped them again on patterned paper. The paper is from Penny Black and is called Frosty & Festive. I used my Brother Cut N Scan to cut plain trees out. Then I fussy cut the trees from the patterned paper and glued them to the plain trees.Then I mounted them with some foam tape onto the card front. Easy peasy right?!

I used the High Hopes sentiment called "Candy Cane and Mistletoe".

Triple Layer Snowflakes!

Hi High Hopes Fans!

Just popping in today to share with you a technique I've wanted to try or a while now! It's called Triple Layer Stamping and I thought it would be perfect to try using the High Hopes Snowflakes!

It's really easy to do!! I started by layering 3 sizes of white paper. I attached a bit of tape on the back of the paper to keep it from shifting. Then all I did was stamp my 2 different Snowflakes (HH061 & HH062) in a random pattern. After that dries, I added my layering blue cardstock to each piece, and then glued it all together. It makes a nice CAS design that stuns!!

I added some Nuvo drops to the Snowflake centres and some silver enamel dots in the 4 corners. I cut 2 different colours of the die cut "Noel" and slightly offset them. To add some dimension to the "Noel",  I die cut out a piece of adhesive "fun foam" and glued the offset to it. 

Here you can see the 3 layers and the "Noel" popped up!

I stamped some Snowflakes inside and used the HH Sentiment "Pillow Fight".

Give this technique a try!! You can always YouTube it for more ideas and tutorials! I think you'll love how easy it is!!

Happy Stamping!

25 Days of Christmas Tags!

Hello Everyone!!

High Hopes Is playing along in the 7th annual "25 Days of Christmas"  Challenge over on "In My Creative Opinion" blog by Tracey McNeely.  High Hopes is sponsoring Day 26 which is a bonus day!

I'm playing along using the new "Winter Kitty" and "Winter Pup" from the High Hopes "Winter Joy" Release.  I thought these 2 stamps made the perfect tags to use for Christmas. In our house the dogs always do their own "shopping" and give gifts to everyone!

I'm using paper from the Bo Bunny Dear Santa 6x6 collection. I made the sentiments on my computer and cut them apart for added interest on my tags!

This "Winter Kitty" looks so elegant in her hat and scarf. I added Nuvo Crystal drops in White Blizzard to the fur on her hat and scarf. (hard to see in pics)

This little darling "Winter Pup" also has the Nuvo added to his hat and scarf!

Copics Used:

Kitty: C1, C3, C5, C7/ B34, B37, B39

Puppy: E13, E15, E17, E19/ R24, R27, R29/ G16, Y26

Christmas Morning!

Good Morning!

Today I'm over on the Digi Doodle Studios Blog sharing this super sweet digital image called "Christmas Morning"! I fell in love with this image as soon as I saw the shy looking dear! 

To start I downloaded the "Christmas Morning" from the Digi Doodle Studios online store. Then I sized the digital image to what I wanted, printed it off from my computer and went about colouring it in with my Copic markers. I decided to choose papers from the Doodlebug "Here Comes Santa Clause" 6x6 collection! I also added the "Happy Holidays" from the DDS "A Season of Cheer Christmas Holiday" digital sentiments. I added some Spectrum Noir Glitter pen to the snow for some bling! A die cut Poinsettia flower finished everything off!

On the inside I used another sentiment for the digital set called "A Season of Cheer Christmas Holiday"

I got to play with the Girlfriend set called "Merriest"! These gals just make me chuckle! I wonder what carol they are singing and I can just imagine that they likely are a bit off key!!

This paper is from one of my favourite collections this winter, the Sizzix Sweet Christmas designer paper! I have added Gold Wink of Stella and Crystal Stickles to each of the gals for a fun element!

Snowy's Cup!

Hi High Hope Fans!

It's Tuesday so that means you can find me over on the High Hopes and One Crazy Stamper Blogs sharing the cards I made. Today's cards feature the adorable "Snowy's Cup" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps!

I love this stamp because you can stamp a sentiment on the middle of the cup! I used the "Dot warm Winter Wishes" sentiment to do just that!

On the inside I used the "Dot Snowman Melts" sentiment!

My paper is from the Doodlebug Polar Pals 6x6 collection, an oldie but still one of my favourite paper collections! I used my Brother Cut N Scan to cut around my image and then popped it up with foam squares for added dimension. I struggled with this layout, I wanted to add more of something but couldn't decide what! Then my mom appeared in my ear saying "less is more" lol so I decided to just leave it like it is! Sometimes Mom is right LOL!

It's hard to see but there is Glossy accents on the nose and buttons, and Spectrum Noir Glitter pen on the purple areas and the red stripes of the candy cane.

Copics Used:

C1, C6, C8, YR04, R24, R27, R29

Happy Birthday!

Hi!
Just popping in again today to share with you a card I made for my Mom. Yesterday was her Birthday  and we were away in Sudbury celebrating my Granddaughter's first birthday. My Mom and JD share the same date, pretty special for the Great Grandma don't you think?!

I'm using the Stamping Bella "Tiny Townie Bree Loves Buttercream". My paper is from the Tailored Expressions "hello Happiness" 6x6 collection. A few die cuts, enamel dots and Spectrum Noir Glitter pen on Bree's skirt finish everything off!

On the inside I used the Stampendous "Special Day" cling stamp.

Of course my 3 dogs had to give "Grandma" a present and this is the card I made for them to give Grandma. I used the High Hopes Stamps "Prancing Puppy" and "Puppy Pals" stamps to create my card. I used a washcloth and some Copic Blender solution to make texture on their bodies.

Copics Used:

Skin: E00, E11, E21, R20

Hair: E43, E44, E47

Top and Tights: BG72, BG75, BG78
