Shimmerz Cupcake Birthday MFTWUW04 & SC199

Finally!!! I finally got to stamp, I finally got to post and I finally got to play with some of the goodies I've gotten lately from a few different friends! (Wait until you see the cupcake card tomorrow using my cupcake from Shannon & Lisa). Talk about multi-tasking...this is a Birthday card for my Chemo patient (I am a Chemo card angel), this is my paper piecing entry for MFT Stamps What's Up Wednesday Challenge and the SplitCoast Sketch Challenge 199...whew, that was a mouthfull :)
Let's get to the fun facts... The cupcake wrapper is paper pieced as is the frosting (technically), I colored the frosting with my copics using RV02 and BG23, then I painted over them using Pink and Mint Shimmerz. I also colored in the cherry using R29 and then gave it some dimension with Crystal Effects. Hopefully you can see the shimmer better on this little picture as well as all the dimension. Thanks to Carollee for this awesome paper, the perfectly matching Shimmerz and the super cute ribbon!!! Thanks for stopping by and looking!

Supplies:

Stamps: It's a Cupcake Kind of Day and sentiment from You Take the Cake (both sets by MFT Stamps)

Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black

Paper: The Sweet Stack with Glitter by DCWV

Accessories: Copic markers, Shimmerz, Pretty in Pink cs (by Stampin Up), Crystal Effects, dimensionals

Happy Halloween! & Bloggers Challenge #71

Happy Weenie Day!! Someone told me that today and I couldn't stop laughing!! Hehehehe. Happy Friday too!!! and of course Happy Blogger's Challenge Day!!!! Woo hoo! Today's challenge was an easy one...Halloween! Luck for me it was so easy, cause I am sooooo far behind and buried in everything I needed an easy thing! Besides I got lots of cool stuff for Halloween cards and have not really used any of it (insert super sad face here!). Well here is a card I made to send to my Mommy & Daddy. I made the card the other night and had to get it in the next day's mail so it would get there in time...had I had more time I would have changed a thing or two...like making either the jars or the spider dimensional. Oh well...I still liked the way it turned out. I stamped the web in black and then went over it with my clear Spica pen, the spider is embossed with black and I used my Stampin Up! Color Spritzer on the white background so it wasn't so plain.

Supplies:

Stamps: Totally Witchin' by MFT Stamps
Paper: Halloween paper packs from MFT Stamps, Papertrey Ink white, Tangerine Tango and Basic Black from Stampin' Up!

Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black

Accessories: Black 1/4" ribbon, black brads from Stampin Up, Copic markers, Clear Spica glitter pen, rectangle Scallop Nestabilities, embossing powder.

I made these little goodie bags for some of the neighborhood kids and the kid's of my co-workers. Quick and easy, but I was determined to make something with the Eat, Drink and Be Scary set that I just had to have because it was so super cute!!! I am so bummed the I didn't get more time to make Halloween goodies!! The hat is stamped with black on white and then matted on black and popped up with dimensionals.

Supplies (all supplies are Stampin Up!):

Stamps: Eat, Drink and be Scary

Ink: Basic Black

Paper: Basic Black, Old Olive, Whisper White

Accessories: Pumpkin Pien 1/4" ribbon, Top Notz Die

Bloggers Challenge #64 - Designer Paper

Happy Friday!! Woo Hoo it's Blogger's Challenge Day!!What a great challenge!! Who doesn't LOVE playing with designer paper?!? This card is all MFT, the DP is from the Simply Delightful Spooky Collection 2 one and the stamps are from one of Kim's Totally Witchin' Halloween set. Both of her Halloween sets are beyond adorable! I used the spider web stamp on the orange for a little background, I also added some silver glitter pen to the 'steam' for a little dimension. The pot is embossed in black and 'popped up'.

Paper: Elegant Eggplant and Only Orange cardstocks by Stampin Up, DP is Simply Delightful Spooky Collection 2 by MFT Stamps

Ha ha, I made to cards for this week's challenge! This Guidelines Designer paper is from Papertrey Ink...not only does she have great stamps, but wow! Nichole's paper is just beautiful!!! I just can't get enough of her papers. The ribbon is PTI also (one from her Perfect Match collection). The image is from the MFT Presents line, this one is by Annie LaPointe. I colored this image with my Copic markers. I colored another 'set' of flowers, cut them out and popped them up for some dimension. In the middle of the flowers I used a little techinique I saw on Gina's (from Gina K designs) blog...I took my Copic Colorless Blender pen and 'took off' some of the color in the middle...I think I like this idea!! :). The brads are, of course, Build-a-Brads from Stampin Up! Thanks for stopping by, have a wonderful weekend!!

A week late and a dollar short...BC W56

Holy Snickerdoodles, this was hard!! It's challenges like this that remind me that I still have a LOT to learn!!!! Last weeks Bloggers' Challenge was to use Really Rust, Sahara Sand, Regal Rose, Blue Bayou and Mellow Moss...whew! I sometimes have a hard time with 3 colors let alone 5! I kinda like the card, but not really the flowers at the bottom? Something, it's just not quite right...oh well it's done, and it's not half bad! The image is by Annie LaPointe for MFT Stamps, colored with Copics, and I used just a dab of Liquid Pearls in the flower centers (the colored flowers not the Primas). Thanks for stopping by!

Supplies:

Stamps: Chamomile

Paper: Sahara Sand, Really Rust, Blue Bayou and Whisper White cardstock, Blue Bayou DP

Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black

Accessories: Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder, Blue Bayou DS Ribbon (by Stampin Up), Prima Flowers, Pearls, Liquid Pearls

My Prince Charming...

Those of you who know me, know that I have a thing for Frogs, so how could I resist this cute Ellzybells stamp? A frog with a crown no less...irresistable (these rank even higher than just frogs in my bok, lol)!!! I colored Miss Elzy and her Frog Prince with copics, using a Spica glitter pen on his crown. The paper is called Meadows Edge by Rubbersoul (available at MFT). The sentiment is from the Starlight Starbright set by Verve Visual; I stamped the background in Versamark then the words in black. Ribbon and cardstock by Stampin' Up!

Happy Birthday Gram'ma!

Tomorrow is Gram'ma's birthday! Every year for my whole life, as far back as I can remember, my Gramma has called me on my Birthday and sang to me...this is one of those memories that puts a huge grin on my face! I will not sing to her tomorrow, and if you've ever heard me sing you know why! Anyway, I got the "You Take the Cake" set from MFT recently, and thought Gramma's card would be perfect to ink it up for the first time!

Happpy Birthday, Gramma! You are amazing and wonderful and I love you to the moon!!! (and back!!)

Thanks for stopping by! Don't forget tomorrow is Bloggers' Challenge day, and after a 3 week flake (I mean break), I am ready to jump in again! Happy Thursday all!

WSC26 Think Pink

This is my first MFT set...so much fun to color!!! I highly recommend several of these sets for every gal who loves to color! I used my Copics to color this. This is for Beate's Sketch challenge...I'm beginning to LOVE sketch challenges, they still take me a while to get going, but I always love the end result!!

I "chalked" the edges of the Loves Me DP with Close to Cocoa. The circles behind the CI Pink Rhinstone brads were made with the Slit Punch by SU! Ribbon is attached with a Silver brad by SU!
