All That Scraps May Preview, day 1…

That time of the month… NEW stamp release from All That Scraps!  Today the DT is showcasing the new images,  Cute Birgitta, Stone Wall and Lamppost. Click HERE to go the the All That Scraps blog to see the other DT gal’s fabulous creations! Be sure to add your name to the linky tool for a chance to win these stamps!

I used the new Lamppost for a Christmas card!  I know, crazy! lol  I just associate lampposts with carolers at Christmas… so my next card with the post will be for Spring,  since I got the Christmas one out of my head! lol  I used the bow from a Sugarplums stamp kit, I don’t see it in the store anymore and a couple sentiments from  Amy R’s Christmas sentiment sets… I’ll link them below.

The bow is colored with R02, 05, 08 and E07,  the post is colored with the Warm Grays.  The pattern paper and card-stock stickers are from Basic Grey’s Jovial pack.  I used the largest Labels One die from the newest size set. Edged everything with ink and the ink blending tool.  Added a couple pine branches from the Martha Stewart punch.

Inside I cut the Magnolia Doohickey’s Vintage tag die (link below) and stamped the sentiment on it and used a few of the card-stock stickers again from the Jovial paper kit.

I’m linking my card to the Crafty Hazelnuts Christmas Challenge blog… use a little yellow.

Stamp “stuff” I used on this card…

Thanks for stopping by!  Don’t panic… lots of days before Christmas! : ))

Day #4 April Release…

Does she make you laugh?  She makes me chuckle…she looks sweet but kinda on the tough/tomboy side of sweet!  Like…  my mom made me dress up and hold this balloon! lol  Meet Little Loli,  one of two new images from the Love Lolita line by  CC Designs and available Sunday, April 3rd at All That Scraps.com, HERE.

I stamped her on PaperTrey Ink white card-stock with Memento Tuxedo Black dye ink and colored her with Copic Sketch Markers.
  • hair – E50, 41, 43, 44, 47, 49
  • skin – E000, 00, 01
  • cheeks – R20, 21, 22
  • eyes – E23, 25, 27
  • dress, socks, shoes – R20, 21, 32
  • ground and shadow – W0, 1, 3, 5

I created the card and paper pieced her heart with the Hazel paper pad.  The sentiments are from parts of two stamps inked up with Versafine and stamped with the stamp a ma jig. I like to use the little square Versafine stamp pad for this… it’s really easy to get in and ink up just what you want!  Flowers are from Hero Arts with Bazzill Bitty brads in the center, that I colored with Copic marker R21.  The pink flower layer is the EK Success small Retro Flower punch.  For the corners of the scallop rectangle nestability, I used some old Making Memory button brads and colored them with Copic marker R21 too.  I used a regular nestability and cut her out of the box.  The cute little banner cuts at the top and the bottom are from a NEW CC Designs banner die set the gals will be showing tomorrow and will be released Sunday, April 3rd too.

Below are the links to the products I used on this card… hope you find it helpful… it looks nice but I’m curious what you think!  Christine has been busy adding lots of new in the store,  HERE… stamps, paper pads… lots!!!

Have a great weekend! Looks like Spring! ttul!

Day 2 – April Preview…

Oh NO!  I feel a song coming on.. “it had to be YOU”! lol   Another great set by Amy R. from CC Designs, called “All About You“.  I got this card finished and immediately thought of some other ideas I could have used!  So… down the road…there will be more of these!  The “it’s a celebration” stamp is from the “It’s Your Birthday set” in the store HERE.  I love all these word sets! You can be so creative in mixing and matching them up with each other!  The brackets dies are coming!!! Part of the April release, in the store April 3rd HERE!

I used the My Minds Eye Hattie 6×6 paper pad, in the store HERE.  Stamped the words with Versafine Onyx Black ink, the post card paper is a few years old, from Making Memories and the banner is an old, old, OLD triangle punch from Emagination Crafts… see,  I told you!  OLD! lol  I glued the triangles to a piece of SU card-stock with Mono Multi glue, in the store HERE (my favorite glue ever) and then cut two sides with the Fiskars mini pinking decorative edge scissors.

What else is new?  LOTS!  new Stamping Bella images… new Wild Rose images and papers…in the store HERE and the list of what’s NEW is HERE.   I almost forgot!  Christine has added to the clearance section too,  HERE!

The new kid on the block… Rain Lilliput!  I truly do LOVE her!  I have this “thing” about umbrellas anyway! (see me ‘n my umbrella on my ATC HERE)  The April release will be in the store Sunday, April 3rd, HERE.

I stamped Lilliput on 140# Cold Press Watercolor paper with the full size Versafine Onyx Black ink and colored her with Distress Inks, in the store HERE. The sentiment is from Amy R.’s Get Well sentiment set, in the store HERE I used my little square Versafine Black ink pad to just ink up parts of the sentiment and with my stamp a ma jig,  stamped it on the clouds.  The clouds are a new die for the April release too!  They’ll be in the store HERE, on April 3rd also.  The pattern paper is the My Minds Eye 6×6 pad, Gertie, in the store HERE.  Hero Arts gemstones on the clouds,  Magnolia Doohickey dies for the flower and leaves, in the store HERE and HERE. (the leaves are the poinsettia Doohickey die)

Distress colors I used…

  • face – tattered rose, vintage photo and a touch of worn lipstick on her cheeks
  • hair – antique linen, vintage photo and walnut stain
  • umbrella, boots – tumbled glass
  • coat – aged mahogany
  • skirt – crushed olive
  • a little black soot here and there…
