So…what do you do with all these cute images??? Somebody somewhere came up with this stair step card idea and it worked so well for these girls! The tutorial was in Splitcoaststampers weekly newsletter this week and it was just the trigger I needed to get going on these images! So…without further ado, I introduce you to the Sugarplums Beachie girls!

I stamped in Memento black ink on Neenah supersmooth classic crest white card-stock and colored with copic sketch markers. Border punches by Martha Stewart and Fiskars. Sand paper from True Value! The word stamps are from a Summer set by Technique Tuesday. The sun punch is an EK Success Paperkins punch. Hope they make you smile! There is NO DOUBT it’s Summer in Iowa today…humidity off the chart and HOT! ick, stickeeeeeeee!

Boxes….so much fun for children and Mo from Mo’s Digital Pencil has captured this little guy, setting out on his journey, perfectly! I LOVE him! How many times growing up, did we use paper plates for something on a creation!!! He’s colored with copic sketch markers and die cut with nestabilities rectangles. The tracks stamp is from Stampin up and the 100% boy circle is from a Recollections clear set from Michaels. See ya later aligator!

Hope and Grace Snuggle – I like to call it Bunny Hugs!

Be sure to click to see all the dimension…lots of cutting and layering…tried to get it to show up in the photos!

I love the Anya stamps from the Greeting Farm and today on their Anyaversary they are introducing more new Anya’s and new images! I’ve been anxious to get this new to me Snuggle Bunny Sprout stamped up and colored and went ahead and did her not even thinking that an Anya would have been better! oh my mind!!! Anyway, I do have an Anya post here and she’s cool!

Here’s a little different angle shot of this snuggle bunny gal…love her and I’ll be posting more Anyas soon!

The pattern paper I used here is Girl Friday by Cosmo Cricket…oh HOW can two sheets of double sided paper have so many colors of pink in them! It was a challenge to decide which copics to use. I ended up using the R3 series. The flower is a Quickutz die and the button is from a Making Memories embellishment jar.

My inspiration for this card came from Mariska…a wonderful copic artist!

Thanks for “hopping” by! I appreciate it!

Inky Impressions 2nd Design Team call…..

July 23, 2009March 1, 2012 Pam Sparks18 Comments

This call is open to everyone!! Click here to go to the Inky Impressions blog for all the particulars!

I just found out about this rubber stamp company yesterday and placed an order today! My submission is going to have to be a creation from another stamp company, since I’m so late finding out. I am looking forward to creating with the new stamps when they arrive! They are really cute, sweet girl images….

This card I’m submitting is Anya from the Greeting Farm. I’ve colored her multiple times with copic sketch markers and layered her hair, puffy sleeves, bow and basket of flowers. I chose this Basic Grey paper from a 6×6 pattern paper pad. The stamped sentiment is from Hero Arts.
