PEAS Be MINE!!!

BE my Cupcake!!!

Bee Mine Valentine…

Today is January release review for All That Scraps on the ATS blog, HERE. I used Honeybee Lolita, in the store HERE. I wanted to play in the Sweet Stop Sketch challenge so I used Korin’s sketch…fun… I know, there’s that Sandylion clear set border again… I do like that set! lol The Sweet Stop Sketch has a “spin” this week , use dry embossing, so I used a Cuttlebug heart embossing folder that I over stamped with an old French Writing Hero Arts stamp and my stampamajig…the “LOVE” word down the right side of the background and the “XOXO” in the “PEAS” card are from a new Amy R. sentiments set called “All About Love“, in the store HERE. The key die cut is from the new CC Designs cutters key and lock set, in the store HERE. Very cool! The sentiment in the circle “Bee Mine Valentine” is from a new set by CC Designs, “Funny Valentine“, in the store HERE. I LOVE it! So CUTE! So the first two cards in my post today are from the Funny Valentine set also! I used my square and square scallop Nestabilites die sets, Martha Stewart punch set, paper piercing, ribbon and the Tim Holtz tiny attacher stapler. All images are colored with Copic Sketch markers and Lolita has frosted lace stickles, in the store HERE, all over her…eek… look at those eyelashes… ok, I’m sorry I put it on them!!! lol The honey in the honey jar has liquid pearls on it, in the store HERE. The pink ink edging on the Lolita card is Spun Sugar distress ink, in the store HERE and the ink blending tool, in the store HERE. Hope you’re inspired to get creative with Valentines! I feel like I’m kinda slow getting with the program but I’m trying!!! lol OH, the heart on the Bee Mine circle is from Printworks, A2580, HERE and stamped with spun sugar distress ink.

Notice…the cupcake is chocolate!!! lol always fun to color cherries! The peas were fun too, I used the G20’s to color them. ttul!

Swiss Pixie Violet with a key…

January 11, 2011January 11, 2011 Pam Sparks17 Comments

Isn’t she just melt your heart cute?! Today the All That Scraps Design Team is showing more creations with the January release Swiss Pixies on the ATS Blog, HERE. I used Swiss Pixie Violet, HERE… Swiss Pixie Key and Lock set, HERE and the Sugarplums stool, HERE.

The heart (from the key and lock set) is stamped randomly on Bazzill card-stock to create the background. I stamped it once, cut it out for the embellishment and added a piece of 1/8th in. Creative Impressions grosgrain ribbon. The border is from a clear stamp border set by Sandylion. The little puffy heart is from K & Co., Smitten was the name of the release but I don’t think they are available anymore. Violet is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Beckett Expression Supersmooth 80# cover Radiance card-stock and colored with Copic Sketch Markers… RV00, 21, 23, 25, 29… I know…the photo doesn’t look like the marker or card-stock color at all! So… I quit looking at the card or I’d still be trying to get a photo to turn out the right colors! ugh! Her skin is E000, 00, 01, 02, her hair is E50, 13, 15, 17, 19 and a little 18. Her shoes and the key are the N grays.

The inside…I used the sentiment from the key and lock set and the new CC Designs Cutters Key and Lock embossing/cutting set… very cool and popular because it’s already out of stock! You can do the little notification email request, HERE so you can get it when it gets back in stock! I used the same card-stock inside…a little closer to the right color in this photo but not really! I tried! lol

It’s a Winter Wonderland here… more Valentines coming up! Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the new stamps and dies from All That Scraps! The new Magnolia collection should be arriving soon! Christine set up a new Magnolia forum for us to keep up on the latest… be sure to stop by and if you comment (just say “Hi”), you will receive an email next time someone posts… hopefully it’ll be Christine posting, “they’re here’!!! : )
