The Rain

Welcome to Terrific Tuesday for One Crazy Stamper and my next card from our sponsor this month - WHIMSY STAMPS!! This adorable image is from the Crissy Armstrong collection of images and is entitled I Will Carry You!

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

A Very Scary Sight!!!

Wow, hard to believe but it's only a couple of more weeks until one of my favorite holidays will be here - I love Halloween almost as much as Christmas - the ghosts and goblins will be out prowling the streets. My card this week features the adorable image Hazel from Whimsy Stamps Wee Stamps collection, and fits the theme for this months challenge at One Crazy Stamper.

I colored the image with Copics then cut it out with a Spellbinders die, then used an Antique Linen Distress Ink pad to color the background. The edges of the die shape were also inked with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. The dp is from My Mind's Eye Happy Haunting collection, which is also where the "Scary" word came from. I used two Memory Box dies to cut the spider web and spider for the corner of the card front. The hints of glitter on the spider were created with a Sakura Star Dust pen.

Spring Fairy

Welcome to another Terrific Tuesday for One Crazy Stamper, and since the theme for this months challenge is flowers, I have designed this card with an abundance of bright colorful spring flowers.

I have used Rangers Distress Ink reinkers, and a water brush to color this cute Young Spring Fairy image from Whimsy Stamps. The image was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink on water color paper, colored and fussy cut, then placed on some older My Minds Eye designer paper. The border of flowers is the Memory Box Spring border die, which I cut from several colors of cardstock to get the various colors of flowers. The ribbon, charm and sentiment are all from my stash.

Nerds Unite!!!!

Wow, where did the month of February go? It seems like only yesterday that the theme for February's One Crazy Stamper challenge was announced, and now you only have two days left to enter to win a fabulous prize by entering your Love themed project.



My card for today features "Computer Nerd" from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps January release. The image is colored with Copics to match the dp from My Mind's Eye Oliver collection, and the sentiment is included with the stamp. The glasses were highlighted by adding a stroke of Sakura's White Glaze pen, and then covering the entire lens area with Judikins Diamond Glaze. The metal embellishments are from my stash.

Don't forget that you only have a couple of days left to enter the challenge theme of Love, here at One Crazy Stamper!!!

Sun Kissed!

I have a sweet card for One Crazy Stamper featuring the Sun-Kissed Whimsy Stamp and the Impression-Obsession Herringbone Cover A Card background stamps.

I inked up the background stamp with Tim Holtz Distress Inks in Wild Honey, Shabby Shutters and Tumbled Glass.

Next I stamped my image on the background piece and colored the grass and hair wisps.  I stamped the image again on white cardstock and colored it with Copic Markers:  E59, E57, E44, R02, E11, E02, B95, B93, B91, YR68, Y38, YG63.

I fussy cut out the girl and applied her over my background image...the touch of dimension is adorable.
I cut out an element from the My Mind's Eye The Sweetest Thing Tangerine collection and added an element from the MME Sweetest Thing Decorative Brad Collection.  A touch of distressing and you've got a cute card!

Light of Hope

It's Terrific Tuesday again for One Crazy Stamper, and today I am featuring a brand new Whimsy Stamp from artist Sylvia Zet called "Hopeful".

The image was stamped on Copic Xpress It cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, then colored with Copics. I used Clearsnap Smooch Illuminate paint on the lantern to make it shine, and of course you can't see it, but it's there! The image was then layered on four different papers from an older My Mind's Eye 6 x 6 paper collection Lime Twist - Happy Go Lucky. The layers were distressed with the We R Memory Keepers Heart Attack Distressing/Sanding tool, and then inked with Tsukineko Memento Dew Drops - Danube Blue and Lilac Posies. The flowers are a mix of companies, butterfly is an older Prima embellishment, and the die is from Cheery Lynn.

Wishing you a sunny day today!

"NAP" Time

I LOVE Art Impressions images and the newest release has not disappointed!!!

So for this weeks One Crazy Stamper project, I have used an AI People image "Power Napper Set".

As usual I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Copic Xpress It cardstock and colored it with Copics. No fussy cutting this time, unless you count her feet sticking out of the frame!! Spellbinders Label Two was used to cut the image out, as well as to frame it. I stamped the included sentiment repeatedly on to the dp from My Mind's Eye Fiddlesticks collection, with Versafine Onyx Black ink - the repeating seems to reflect the sentiment - stress, chaos and mayhem. The card is a gate fold with black sheer ribbon tying it closed, and Viva Decor pearls accenting it.
