Inchin' By...

Happy Monday!  I have some Inky Antics goodness for you today for my One Crazy Stamper Post!
I decided to go with this adorable HoneyPop set because this cute little fellow just makes me grin!

He is colored in the traditional Inky Antics way; Prismacolor Pencils and blended out with Gamsol.
I dressed the feller up a bit with a glittery bow that I fussy cut and popped on with a glue dot.

Inside of the card is the HoneyPop surprise!  The dear little fellow is holding up his HoneyPop apple.  The flower centers bordering the inside of this card are glittered as well for an additional touch of fun!

Papers for this card are from My Mind's Eye's Lime Twist Life of the Party and Fly A Kite collections.

Sweet Blossom

Today I'm sharing project using the Sweet Blossom image from Whimsy Stamps for my One Crazy Stamper post! 

I colored her up with Copic markers:  B99, B97, B95, B41, YG67, YG17,YG13, E02, E00, E47, E44, E43, E31, YR27, YR14, Y35, Y21.

I distressed the image edges with Tim Holtz's Distress Inks in Tumbled Glass and Peeled Paint.

I love using embroidery on a card to dress it up a bit.  This is the first time I used three different coordinating threads to frame my image.  I create a pattern I like, pierce it freehand and then stitch it up!

Designer papers are from BasicGrey's Clippings collection.  I then framed the panel in a 9 x 9 inch frame that my husband made for me.  I left the glass out for the purpose of the photo.

Good Company!

I have a very Victorian feel card for you today for you today for One Crazy Stamper.

I used some beautiful dies for today's card on some tan cardstock.    The edge die is Lace Light Deco Border from Cheery Lynn Designs.  The oval is the Lacey Oval CR1204 from Mariann Design.

For a fun touch I threaded some pink/white bakers twine through circular holes on the oval die.  A simple tip for you....use a dab of glue to twist the *needle end* of your thread...and it is simple to sew through the holes with  no fraying tip!

Papers are from Authentique's Lively collection.  I colored the image from Flourishes set From The Desk Of with Prismacolor Pencils.

Hello!

A simple title for a Clean And Simple card for One Crazy Stamper!  My niece has a birthday coming right up....and this image is perfect!

This adorable image called Hello by Stampavie inspired my pink, black, grey and white color scheme. 
I colored my image with the following Copic Markers:  110, T4, T2, N3, RV10, E42.  I used a pink Sharpie permanent marker for my phone details and used a Signo white gel pen to add the detailing on the phone back in after coloring it black.  I also highlighted kitty's eyes with the white gel pen.  Finally, I distressed the image with Tim Holtz Pumice Stone Distress Ink.

I used a simple designer paper and some stickers to add my sentiment.  Sometimes clean and simple just strikes me, and in this case I wanted the image to shine!

One Crazy Monday....

 It's still Monday for a few hours!  GASP!  It's been a busy week around here with Swimming Lessons, Piano Lessons, Birthday/Pool Parties and some CHA design work!

Today I'm sharing a card using an Inky Antics HoneyPop set.  This set is called Turtle and has some fun images and sayings in it. 

These sets work with the HoneyComb Paper Pads to create a fun 3D surprise on the inside of your card.

For the front of my card, I used my new Fabulous Flowers stamp set with Inky Antics to create the grass and the rosette flower.  These are super simple to use and create quite the fun flat embellishments for your card.

I colored these images with Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol.  I used papers from the My Mind's Eye Lime Twist Collections.

I layered Mr. Turtle here on a Martha Stewart Punch Around The Page panel.

Be sure to check out the store for more fun HoneyPop Stamp Sets and Honeycomb Paper Pads.  Lora always has fun sales to browse as well.

A Glimpse Back In Time

Happy Monday!   I caught myself a dandy cold over the weekend..and have no new cards to share with you for my One Crazy Stamper post....so I went back in my archives and am sharing some cards using Stampavie images that I did for a store that is no longer in business.   I could have cropped off my watermark...but I hope Lora will forgive me and y'all will overlook it this one time since I think these little ladies are just too sweet to not share with you! 

The GREAT thing is...you can still get Picnics of Daisies, and the Spring is Back image is very similar in style to the second card's image!  I colored all my images with Copic markers.

Under The Weather?

I have another get well card for you today.....since it's umbrella season and all!!  This time it's for One Crazy Stamper featuring the Inky Antics HoneyPoP set Umbrella Friends.

I stamped my images with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then colored them with Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol. 

These cards are fun because the designing isn't just left to the outside of the card....but continues inside as well!  Check out that adorable HoneyPoP umbella element! 

Other elements on this card are designer paper from My Mind's Eye, Candi embellishments and a touch of Faux Stitching.

Be sure to stop by and see what SALES Lora has going this week!  You won't want to miss them!

Funny Birthday Wishes!

For my One Crazy Stamper post I am sharing another Inky Antics Honey Pop creation.  This time I used the Birthday Elephant Honey Pop set and a rainbow Honeycomb paper pad. 

If you missed my tutorial on the coloring or assembling of these fun cards, please see last week's post.

You can decorate the inside of your card as much as you wish.  I cut out some circles from designer paper to ground my elephant...and was sure to add plenty of present accents.

Be sure to check often to see what sales Lora is offering....she has a great variety of items and is always adding goodies to the store!

Have a great week!
