A Cup of Love

The colder weather is definitely here now, with probably more on the way, and today's project for One Crazy Stamper would be an ideal gift for someone special.

I have colored up the High Hopes image "Snowy's Cup" with my Copics, then fussy cut the image and placed it on a little gift bag that I created using my Scor-pal. I used the Martha Stewart Snowflake border punch as a decoration around the base of the bag, and added touches of glittler with a Sakura Clear Star pen, and red berries with a Viva Decor Pearl Pen. The bag is full of hot chocolate mix and a couple of cinnamon sticks to add some extra flavor. The sentiment "Cup of Cocoa" is the perfecrt way to present this gift!

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.

Making Friends in the Snow!!

It's a beautiful warm sunny day today, yet I'm showing you another cute winter themed card using a High Hopes image called "Making Friends". This is one of the newest images released at One Crazy Stamper with our monthly High Hopes celebration of Christmas/Winter themed images.

I had a great time coloring this image with my Copic Sketch Markers, and loved the final design of the card. The dp is from We R Memory Keepers Winter Frost collection, touches of white flocking are added to the fur trim of the snowman's hat, and I have added tons of 3D snowflakes by just using a Sakura White gel pen. This is definitely my favorite card this month.

Sunkissed

Good Wednesday morning and welcome to my first post as a new design team member for One Crazy Stamper.  First off, let me introduce myself and tell you a little bit about me and then show you my project for today.

My name is Heather and I have been crafting in some form for most of my life.  I have tried it all ~ sewing, knitting and crocheting, painting and paper crafting.  I started scrapbooking about 10 years ago so that I could make an album for our wedding and was hooked ever since.  I started card making about three years ago now and added blogging then to share my creations as well.  My bff, Shari, introduced me to Copic markers two years ago and I love to sit and colour while relaxing and watching TV.  Personally, I have been married to my wonderful husband for 10 years.  I have one son who is married and I became a grandmother in September of 2012.  I enjoy reading and baking when I have any spare time :)

Now on to my card. This sweet little image from Whimsy Stamps Elizabeth Bell Designs called Sunkissed reminds me that Spring is on its way and I just have to be patient:

RECIPE:

Party Time!!!

You still have a few days left to enter your card in this months challenge here at One Crazy Stamper, and the theme for this month is Birthdays! Brand new, both online and in store, are the Art Impressions stamps, and I have been eagerly waiting to show you one of the cute images made into a card!

This is Party Girls - stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Copic Xpress It cardstock and colored with Copics. I added small bits of sparkle confetti with a Sakura Gelly Roll Clear Star pen. The dp, ribbon and sentiment are all from my stash of supplies.

Wishing everyone a day filled with as much happiness and fun that these ladies are enjoying!!!

Lovely Kissy!!!

One Crazy Stamper's Terrific Tuesday is upon us again - it's my turn to show you some of the wonderful items available both online and at the store.

Here's Kissy by Mo Manning for Stamping Bella!!!!!

Doesn't she look just like the typical Prima dona waiting for her accolades!!

The image was stamped with Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Copic Xpress It paper.  I colored her with Copic sketch markers and Prismacolor pencils, then highlighted the rubies in her crown, on her slippers and around the sentiment with Stickles Christmas Red.  Although you can't see it on the photo her sash and crown shimmer with the addition of Sakura's Stardust pen.  The dp, frame and seam binding were distressed with Tim Holtz's Vintage Photo Distress Ink.  The designer paper is from the Pretty in Pink collection from Glitz, the flower is from Prima, and the frame is from Spellbinders ( it's an oldie but goodie ).

Baby Kiki Fairy

Dana here and I've got one of my all time favorite images to share with you today.  I found the artist Mo Manning almost as soon as I started making cards and quickly fell in love with her images. Now many of her most popular images are available in rubber. Case in point, check out Baby Kiki Fairy available through Stampavie:

Even though I've colored her many times before every time I try something new and push myself to improve in some small way. This time I tried to get more realistic baby skin tones and I did that by adding quite a bit of R30 (copics).  I also wanted to try to get the wings to look how I wanted without the use of Stickles. Here's a close up:

After stamping with Memento Ink I used these colors:

I did use a Sakura Stardust pen to add those sparkly bits around her wings and hat. I never noticed before that her lil' hat looks like a strawberry, so that's why I went with the reds. 

My patterned papers are from Bo' Bunny. I think the only other touches are my Spellbinders and some flat back pearls. My sentiment is from Amy R of CC Designs.  I don't see that particular set at the moment but LOTS of other cute ones to chose from!!

Thanks so much for looking and I hope you have joined our sketch challenge this month : )

Hugs~
