*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

So here we go for December's Theme Week!

Make ANY project that is inspired by GLITTER!

Hi there! Happy New Year!!! It's Katya Bess from Kattyxotica's Kreations. This is my last DT card at Stamp AnnieThing, it's a little sad but happy I had a chance to be here. I will still stalk everyone on Facebook or the blogs as usual... heehee maybe Anne will let me be a Guest DT sometime... Thank you Anne for giving a chance to color up your cute little images and being part of a nice DT. The DT gals are all so talented and always very inspiring.

So, for my inspiration card I used glitter pens. 

I colored Anne- Happy New Year separately with

Copic markers and used W3 and W5 to make light

shading on her headband and the blouse because

I wanted it to look silvery/glittery/white so

for that I used the remained of my Wink of Stella

and then went over with my Clear Star Gellyroll.

The Clear Star Gellyroll is my most favorite glitter pen. 

For the background I used Distress Ink

and then drew some fireworks and topped that

with my handy dandy Clear Star Gellyroll. 

The person I intend to give this card came to visit

for Christmas and went back to Florida

so that is how I imagine New Years to be like...

no jacket and probably a short dress, skirt or shorts. haha

Here is a close-up of my coloring.

Here is another close-up but with the lights dimmed... 

it really shows off the glitter but the coloring looks darker 

so I wanted to show you both.

I hope you enjoyed the card. 

I really hope you have an awesome 2017.

Good luck to the current DT and 

and good luck to the new DT.

Thank you for visiting.

Warmest Holiday Wishes

Hello Everyone!

Today I'm sharing a card I made with Felicity - Hello. I colored her up with Copic markers and gave the card a little winter/holiday look with the Recollections: Christmas Noel paper pad called: Say Freeze. 

I colored her up with Copic colors: 

Skin: B34, E11, E37, E34, R22 and R30

hair: N8, N6 and N4

Dress: C3, C5, C7 and C9

Scarf: R56, R46, R29 and R39

The eyelights: Uni-ball Signo White Broad pen

The dies and sentiment are both from: 

My Creative Time

I hope the intended recipient likes the card

and I hope you liked it too.

Thank you for visiting.

Stamp AnnieThing December Release Day 3 - Annie

Hi and welcome to Day #3 of 

Stamp Anniething's December release!  

We got some really fun new Chibi Kids to share with you today!

Annie is available in the store NOW along with the other 2 stamps we show you  this week!!

`~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Annie - Happy New Year 

I used Copic X-pressIt paper with Copic markers

Skin: E04, E55, E53, E51, E50, R21 and R30

headband and blouse: Y28, Y26, Y23, Y21 and Zig Wink of Stella

for the sparkly stuff on the headband 

I used clear wink of stella and Clearstar Sakura Gelly Roll

The papers are from Recollections

I chose to make this card very simple and depending on the

person I give it to I'll add another sentiment to the front of the card.

 I hope you don't have to squint too much to see the sparkle on

her blouse and New Year headband. LOL 

We hope you enjoyed our December release!

All the new stamps are available NOW in the store!

 Have a great day!

Stamp AnnieThing December Preview Day 2 - Felicity

Hi and welcome to Day #2 of 

Stamp Anniething's December release!  

We got some really fun new Chibi Kids to share with you today!

Felicity - Be Healthy

Felicity will be available in the store FRIDAY along with the other 2 stamps we show you  this week!!

`~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

To color up Felicity - Be Healthy I used Copic markers on the 

Spectrum Noir Ultra-Smooth 

White cardstock! (My fave so far!)

The Copic colors I used are:

W9, W7, W5

B34, E11, E37, E34, R22, R30

B02, B04, B05, B06

YG01, YG05, YG06 and YG09

The die is from My Creative Time

Most of the design papers are from Doodlebug.

The handwriting on the clipboard is my own

and the "be healthy" sentiment comes with Felicity.

I chose these uber bright colors because it's the colors

we use in our Zumba classes or at least a lot of the sporty

gear that a lot of the ladies and some gentlemen wear to class.

After our Zumba class is over there is usually a healthy

snack to chose from a bowl... fruit, raisins, nuts or berries

and there is always water or tea to drink through-out the class. 

When I saw this image I thought about how people

choose the New Year to make new resolutions or new goals

but choosing to be healthier doesn't have to start on the 1st of January

or the 2nd for some... you can start now/anytime!

I made this to be a little motivator card. 

Here is a close-up

Oh yea! I almost forgot I tried to color this apple like

an Ambrosia apple... I went to the grocery store

and tried these apples for the first time and they were actually

pretty good.... so I hope it looks like an Ambrosia apple but

it kind of looks like she took a bite. haha.

Also, I wanted to share this I found on the internet

We hope you enjoyed our December release!

All the new stamps will be available FRIDAY in the store!

 Have a great day!

Thank you so much for visiting.

Stamp AnnieThing Preview Day 1 - Giselle

Hi and welcome to Day #1 of 

Stamp Anniething's December release!  

We got some really fun new Chibi Kids to share with you today!

         Check out Giselle - Have A Ball   

Giselle will be available in the store FRIDAY along with the other 2 stamps we show you  this week!!

`~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

To color Giselle, I used Copic markers and for the first time I 

used the Copic X-PressIt paper. 

It was my very first image I colored with it but not

very impressed with the paper... I do like

how smooth it feels and how it easy it was to blend

but that was about it. 

So this release will be sort of New Year's theme

but when I saw this image all I could think

about was Mardi Gras masquerades or celebrations,

I chose to to color with Greens, Purples and a little bit of Gold.

When I was done coloring I think I used about 40 Copic colors. Insane!!!

Some of the 6x6 papers were from: 

Penny Black called Coco Style. 

Some were from Halloween pads from Doodlebug

and some were from I believe Kaiser Kraft.

All of the dies were from My Creative Time. 

I wanted to add some sparkle to her dress so I added

some Wink of Stella and I also drew

some sparkle with a Uni-ball Signo White Pen.

We hope you enjoyed our December release!

All the new stamps will be available FRIDAY in the store!

 Have a great day!

Thankful

Hello Everyone!

Hope all is well! Kind of feels like I haven't been blogging much, too many minimum days and days off at school for my kids which is cutting into my coloring and cutting paper time. LOL Normally I try to do my crafting in the middle of the night or very early in the morning but I'm been trying to catch up on other things. So about a week ago I heard Noelle the owner of Quick Creations was having a Guest Designer Call and it's only for one month in the second half of 2017 so I decided to give it a shot. One of the cards I made is for Thanksgiving. The stamp I used I purchased at The Greeting Farm a long time ago but I noticed that it was listed at Cheeky Cherry Pie @ Quick Creations. The paper is from Doodlebug Designs, the roses I bought at Not2ShabbyShop and I just colored them with Copic refills. The small Thank You dies I also got from The Greeting Farm.

Okay here is my  card using Cheeky Cherry Pie. 

I didn't mention above that at the end of the night on the 15th I noticed that I did make it as 

Guest Designer for the month of December 2017. Woot Woot!!!

I'm very thankful to Noelle for giving me a chance. 

I hope you liked my card.

Have a wonderful day.

Anything Goes + a sentiment

For Someone Sweet and Deer

Hello Everyone!

I hope all is well. I've been working on some Christmas coloring and decided to share this card I made with Lucille - What a Deer, she is one of my favorite Chibi Kids to color from Stamp AnnieThing. On one of my previous posts I decided to color her as a red head with cute little freckles and this time I'm coloring her as an African-American with sort of medium tone.

Lucille - What a Deer

I used Copic markers

the colors are

B34, E11, E37, E34, R22, R30

R27, R29, R46

E42, R43, E84, E33

N2, N4, N6 and N8

The papers are from DoodleBug Design: Sugarplums line

the dies are from 

My Creative Time

CC Designs

and Craftin Desert Divas

The sentiment is from 

Brooke- For Someone Sweet

and the DEC. 25th I fussy cut from 

the DoodleBug Design: Sugarplums 6x6 paper pad. 

Here are some close-ups.

I hope you like it.

Thank you so much 

for stopping by.

Anything Goes

Latte Birthday Wishes

Hello Everyone!

I'm latte! I'm latte! I'm latte for a very important date.... LOL  Today I have a coffee themed birthday card for you... it's a little belated birthday card. I'm thinking I need to make more of these (when I get time) with different skin tones and different hair colors and just have them ready for when I forget a birthday or just cause I'm busy. ha! I found this coffee themed 12x12 paper at Michael's and I had a few coffee cards for friends and teachers in mind but I love how clean and simple this one looks.

I colored her up with Copic markers

some of the colors I used are:

BV000, E55, E53, E51, E50 E21, R21, R20 and R30

for the clothing G07, G46 and G94 also N6, N4 and N2

The dotted circle die is from My Creative Time 

as well at the new sentiment.  To make the black outer layer 

I just traced around the die and cut with scissors.

the design coffee paper is from Recollections (found at Michaels)

and the base cardstock are from Michael's as well only the black

cardstock is the 110 lb paper I love to use for bases and the

white is 65 lb I like to use for simple layering. 

I was going to go for an otter bounds image and circle so I had cut out the face

and the latte/coffee but the head ended fitting inside the circle because

I didn't align it right LOL    so the only thing that is outer bounds is the 

latte/coffee but it ends out working out because the person receiving it doesn't

wear skirts or dresses and now it just looks like a trench coat which she does wear

sometimes. LOL   

Anyway, I hope you liked my card.

Have a wonderful day.

Stamp AnnieThing Preview Day #3 Lucille

Hi and welcome to Day #3 of 

Stamp Anniething's November release!  

We got some really fun new Chibi Kids to share with you today!

Lucille is available in the store Today along with the other 2 stamps we show you  this week!!

`~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Good morning Crafty Peeps!

Today is is the release day for all of the cuties we showcased this week. 

I like them all but one of the ones I love most is the Lucille chibi

she is so adorable with her little curls. 

So this is my card:

I colored her up with Copic markers.

Doesn't seem like it but I used a bunch of colors with her. 

skin: Bv00, E0000, E000, E21, E50, R20, R30 and R33

for the eye lights I used Copic White

hair: E08, E35, E23, YR27 and Y35

for her clothing: N4, N6, N8, R46, R29, R27 and R24

for the vest hoodie I paper pieced from a 

Recollections Christmas 8.5 x11 stack called

Frosty Cabin I 

found some year or two or three years ago. [gulp]

I really don't need any more Christmas paper

unless it's from Doodlebug Design or Echo Park

those I  use up really fast. LOL 

The die is from Craftin Desert Divas.

Oh snap! I could have made the hoodie brown

just like her deer hat. I didn't even think about that 'til

now... Now I have to color up another Lucille. ha!

but that's okay I love her! :P

My mind has been every where ATM with my kids'

school meetings and events, and CCSA meetings,

church choir rehearsals and other functions for the kids. I 

love all of that stuff but now we are also house

hunting and that has been taking up most of the time

and it's actually becoming overwhelming or really a little bit

stressful since we don't really know the neighborhood.

On the flip side of that I most likely will have my own 

craft room where I can close the door and my things

will be untouched by kids- keeping my fingers crossed for that

and I love my hubby but I hope that I won't have to 

share that space with him either.... so he won't have to look

at all the scrappy things I have bought or use my scissors...Seriously!!! 

Y'all know how that is. LOL 

okay too much of my unorganized, unscripted, unplanned... or just plain crazy 

crafting mom life. ha! 

Here is a close-up of my colored up Lucille.

I hope you enjoyed our November release!

All the new stamps are available NOW in the store! 

Woot Woot!

 Have a great day!

Stamp AnnieThing Preview Day #1 Brooke

Hi and welcome to Day #1 of 

Stamp Anniething's November release!  

We got some really fun new Chibi Kids to share with you today!

Brooke is available in the store FRIDAY along with the other 2 stamps we show you  this week!!

`~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Here is the card I created with Brooke she is looks

so sweet holding her giant candy cane so I had

to use the Christmas paper from Doodlebug Design

that has all of that sweet candy and kept the 

card pretty simple. 

I colored her with Copic markers. 

I used blends of

R39, R29 and R24

G05, G06 and G85

Y08 and Y13

As you can see I kept it very simple but she still pops

against the busy candy background IMO.

Here is a close up of the coloring.

I ended up fixing her eye lights with Copic White after I 

photographed it... I might come back to show how it looks

my Uni-ball angelic white is not being my friend lately. LOL 

I hope you enjoyed our November release!

All the new stamps are available NOW in the store!

 Have a great day!

Thank you for visiting.

To a very important patient

Good morning Crafty Peeps!


Today I made a 6x6 card using Holly - Cheer Up, she's a super cute little nurse. Actually, you can leave out her nurse hat and just color her as a little girl holding a Teddy Bear but this time I actually stamped and masked the hat so she can be a little nurse. The message "To a V.I.P... Very Important Patient" I just hand-wrote with my Sakura Pigma Sensei black pen.

The Markers I used are Copic.

The Teddy Bear was colored with E50, E51, E35 and E55

The clothing was N4, N2, N0. R46 and R35

All of the background paper is from Recollections 

and the paper I used to color is from Crafter's Companion.

Here is a close up of Holly - Cheer Up

I hope you like her. 

Thank you for looking.

Wild Wild West

Hi there!

Today I'm sharing a card I made with Savannah - Howdy Partner and a Magnolia background stamp called Golden Creek.

 I colored her with Copic markers except for one Spectrum Noir marker (TB1 for the sky)

For the hat, lasso and booths I used E51, E34 and E35

for the scarf R27, R35 and R46

for the jean outfit B91, B93, B95 and B45

I wanted to create a simple card to be used for any occasion so I left the 

sentiment out for now. 

The die is from My Creative Time

and the background paper is from Kaiser Kraft: Summer Breeze

Here is a close-up of the image.

Thank you for checking out my blog.

Stamp AnnieThing October Release Day 3

Hi and welcome to Day #3 of 

Stamp Anniething's October release!  

We got some really fun new Chibi Kids to share with you today!

Its Ugly Sweater season coming upon us, Lorraine is ready, are you?

Lorraine is available in the store TODAY along with the other 2 stamps we show  you  this week!!

`~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Here is the project I made for today using Lorraine!

I was inspired by Home Alone 2: Lost in New York

You know the hotel gun scene haha I almost know it all by heart. :P

Merry Christmas Ya Filthy Animal

So that is where I got my inspiration the inside reads

"... and a Happy New Year!"

Lorraine looks super sweet just like Macaulay Culkin (when he was a kid) lol 

so I made her blonde with baby blue eyes. :)

I colored her up with Copic markers.

Colors used:

BV01, E0000, E000, E01, E21, R21, R20, R30

B91, B45, B93, B95, B97

Y28, Y26, Y23, Y35, E35

R89, R59 and R46

For the sweater I decided to stamp on red cardstock 

with a white ink pad to get the white designs and to sort of match

the design on the paper from American Crafts

this line is called Kringle and Co (I think)

I found this paper pad at Marshalls.

I hope you liked my Christmas movie inspired card. 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

We hope you enjoyed our October peeks so far!

See you tomorrow!

 Have a great day!

Stamp AnnieThing October Release Day 2

Hi and welcome to Day #2 of 

Stamp Anniething's October release!  

We got some really fun new Chibi Kids to share with you today!

Diana is a little cold but her oversized sweater sure comes in handy!

Diana will be available in the store Friday along with the other 2 stamps we show  you  this week!!

`~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Here is the project I made for today using Diana!

This image is so cute with her slightly oversized sweater

trying to keep her hands toasty. 

I used Copic markers for coloring her. 

Colors used:

E23, YR27, E35 & Y35

Skin is BV01, E0000, E000, E01, E21, R20 and R30

for her freckles I used E23 (this time)

For her stockings I used C1 and C0

and a little bit of Wink of Stella to give them sparkle dots but it's hard to see

with my lighting. 

For the clothes I paper pieced from 

Doodlebug Design 6x6 paper pad called Sugarplums. 

To give the clothes a little extra dimention 

I outlined some areas with C3 copic marker.

One item that made it easier to paper piece was the 

Xyron Sticker maker -sometimes I feel like some sticker paper

gets wasted because of the design but it saves me a whole lot of time trying to 

glue small areas.

The stitched rectangle and oval dies are from My Creative Time

and the scalloped die is from CC Design. Oh the snowflake dies are from

Die-Versions.

Here she is close up. 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

We hope you enjoyed our October peeks so far!

See you tomorrow!

 Have a great day!
