Your Next Stamp Card Trio and MASSIVE BLOG CANDY!!

Today I'm sharing more of the September 2011 Your Next Stamp Release available at One Crazy Stamper! 

My first card features the Apple Pie Cutie set.  You may not see it in the photo, but the Chocolate Truffle cardstock has been embossed with Tim Holtz's Sizzix Woodgrain embossing folder!  Designer paper is from BasicGrey's Out of Print collection.

This card features the Apple Tree and Autumn Harvest set.  I used the same woodgrain embossing and uses the same designer paper collection and cut out my image with a Spellbinders Oval Die.  I distressed the sky and grass with Tim Holtz Distress Inks in Tumbled Glass and Peeled Paint.

My last card features the Ellie Loves Sunflowers set.  I used some designer paper by My Mind's Eye's Stella Collection as well as a misc scrap I found in my stash.  I colored my card images with the Copic Markers shown below.

Popcorn Baby!

Today I'm sharing a card for One Crazy Stamper that I've had in my mind for a while!  I wanted to make this adorable bear from the Popcorn The Bear Christmas Collection into a sweet baby card!  I paired it with the My Mind's Eye Tickled Pink Collection.  I colored the image with the Copic markers shown below.

So...I hope that you have been inspired to think of your stamp sets in a different way!  Wishing Americans a Happy Memorial Day!

A Vintage Greeting!

I have a vintage greeting to share with you this morning!! This image is from the Flourishes set From The Desk Of. It is one of the smaller images in the set, but I just love flowers and books...it's so *me!*

I colored the image with Copic markers shown below:


I framed my image with a Spellbinders Fleur De Lis Rectangle die. I used some Tim Holtz Frayed Burlap Distress Ink to distress my image before removing it from the die.

The designer paper is from the My Mind's Eye Tickled Pink Collection.

Spring Is Back!

I'm sure hoping that Spring is Back! In celebration of that hope, I chose this adorable Stampavie image to showcase for One Crazy Stamper today! The challenge this month is flowers...bring on spring! Please consider joining the challenge! One lucky participant will win a generous gift certificate!

I stamped my image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it with the Copic markers shown below.

I used the My Mind's Eye True Blue 6x6 collection for my card. I love that though there is not a flower in the collection...I was able to make it flowery!

Bernadette Admiring The Spring Flowers

Phew....today it was pretty warm here...unseasonably so...and with it we had some wicked weather. Thankfully all is well...and we're all happy to wait more patiently for the warmer temps...preferably without the *weather!* I chose to use this happy Stampavie image today called Bernadette Admiring the Spring Flowers. I stamped her with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then colored her with the Copics in the photo below. The designer papers I used were from the Tickled Pink 6x6 collection from My Mind's Eye. I used Spellbinders Labels Four dies and Fleur De Lis Accents for my card. The sentiment is by Hero Arts, flowers by Prima. We hope you can join us this month for our Flowery challenge! There is a generous gift certificate on the line for one lucky participant! May it be YOU! Good luck!!

Spring Has Sprung!

Positive thinking, though we are still buried under a foot of snow here in Wisconsin!! I was just itching to use this adorable stamp from Stampavie's 2011 winter release called Spring Has Sprung.
I stamped the image in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and colored it with Copic Markers. I used the Victoria Cuttlebug Embossing Folder and designer paper is Tickled Pink from My Mind's Eye.
