Hi there! Back again with an inspiration card for Kraftin' Kimmie as March Guest Designer. 

When I saw these I was really excited to use these sentiments. 

Here is the first card I have created with one of the sentiments from the Kick Assy Birthday set. :P 

I used Distress Inks for the background 

and a Uni-Ball Signo Broad White pen to create a galaxy scene. 

The rectangle die is from My Creative Time and the balloon dies

are from C.C. Designs. 

I decided to keep it sort of simple to focus on the sentiment but still have plenty of color

for some interest. For me CAS cards are a little challenging but I love adding lots of colors anyway.

Since I used Black Soot for  the edges and in between some of the bright colors I wanted to 

give it a high contrast with a white card base and used white paper to stamp the sentiment and make it stand out as well. 

I chose this stamp from the set because it gave me a little giggle and

it's perfect for my older crafty friends. LOL You can use it for whomever you'd like but my crafty friends are the ones that came to mind first- one in particular knows I like to mess

with her on her birthday cards. :P

Here is the full set

Thank you so much for visiting.

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

So here we go for July'sTheme Week!

Make ANY project using rainbows (papers, colors,, patterns, etc!)

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

Hi! Today I'm popping in to show you my rainbow themed card.

I had a blast coloring this image. I did ask for permission from the owner Annie to alter the bangs and

the clothes.... just an F.Y.I. Keep in mind that the owner has the right to say no.... This time Annie was okay with it and I had so much fun coloring her like Rainbow Brite. Did you gals or guys

have any of Rainbow Brite dolls or toys? The Color Kids or maybe even a Sprite?

I only had a Rainbow Brite and I remember she had yarn hair.... to be honest that is all I remember of of the doll of yeah and she had a purple star on her cheek. I did watch the cartoons in Spanish growing up but and I found some of the English videos on YouTube that I watch with my youngest daughter when trying to soothe her and distract her from her severe Eczema itching.

I used Memento Desert Sand ink dye pad to be able to do the "no-lines-coloring" technique

and to be able to alter the bangs and clothes without any masking but if you look 

closely you can sort of see the original lines.

Of course I used Copic markers, Copic multi-liner and a Uni-ball Signo White Broad

(I love Sakura but I wish the white pen was a little more opaque

because I so much prefer how it looks in the end)

For the image I used 

Trudy- Happy Day!

Copic makers I used

E0000, E000, E01, E04, E21, R21 and R30

E33, E35, Y35, Y08 and Y26

V06, R24, B24, G05, YR04 and Y08

(sorry forgot the blues in her eyes) 

the colors look a little brighter in person the blues in her clothing look a little too dark here.

Here you can see here up close.

Here you can see the shimmer on the stars. 

The sentiment I use hand-wrote myself

(I was a bit lazy to see if I even had a color themed stamp. LOL)

and I just colored the rainbow background in carefully

and I only gave it two passes since I was scared they would

bleed into each other. The little stars from some

My Creative Time dies as well as the rectangle to cut out the layer.
4x4 Journal Die + More
Stitched Rectangular Frame Dies & More
The for the stars I chose colors from the rainbow that I colored then I 

added Wink of Stella clear and letting them dry before I glued them 

on to the card. 

I hope you all really liked all of the cards for the theme week,

rainbows are one of my favorite things to see and color. 

I also hope that you get a chance to work on some rainbow themed cards

using Stamp AnnieThing stamps. 

This is how Trudy - Happy Day! looks before the no-lines-coloring technique.

Thank you for stopping by.

Have a colorful day!

Stamp AnnieThing July Release Day 2 Kelly

Hi and welcome to Day #2 of 

Stamp Anniething's July release!  

I love the carefree days of Summer and hope you find this release to reflect on that.

Summer is the perfect time to catch up with your favorite books!

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

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

Good morning! Here is the project I made with the new stamp Kelly!

I colored the image with Copic markers

then I fussy cut so I can glue her

on a piece of cardstock that I distress inked

with different colors to create a galaxy full of stars.

The words from her book I stamped that part 

of the image onto a section of a Doodlebug

paper that says Meow Meow Meow... 

but you can only see that in person or

a super close-up picture. LOL  

I found the sentiment online and I just hand-wrote it

with my Uni-ball Signo Broad pen... I noticed that

the ink would separate from the middle so when it

was almost dry I went in with my Uni-ball Sign Angelic to fill it in.

Before gluing Kelly on I made sure to die cut the galaxy with

a die from Desert Divas. The white layered paper is cut

with a Rectangle die from My Creative Time. 

I hope you liked my card. 

I love things with bright colors

and things that encourage kids to read...

My first intension was to make a bookmark

but it's on my long list of projects to make. LOL  

Thank you for joining us for our July Release

 and have a great day!

A Dream is a Wish your Heart makes

Good morning friends!

Katya Bess here showing you another princess card, this time I colored Paige as Cinderella.

I colored her with Copic markers (no lines coloring) then fussy cut her.

Then I used a Sakura Gelly Roll to add a few sparkles

which is hard to see with the lighting I had.

I left the card without a sentiment

since I don't have a particular person to give this card to yet.

The rectangle die is from My Creative Time.

I will include a Copic recipe later tonight.

Here is a close up.  :D

Here is Paige with the sentiment and crown.

The background wasn't colored by me... 

It was my daughter Daenerys' Disney Princess Palace Pets set

she got  as Christmas gift from the people at our kids' Bible Club.

As I was taking apart the boxes for recycling I noticed that

 I could probably use the inside of the packaging so I saved it 

particularly for these princess stamps. LOL    

Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend...

Have a great time crafting or watching the football game

even if it's just the commercials and Half Time Show

 since our teams are NOT playing. Teehee 

Thank you for stopping by.

Anything Goes

A Kiss Would be Nice

Hi and welcome to Day #1 of Stamp Anniething's February release!  

If you love Princesses this release will be right up your alley!

Paige is ready for the ball!  She even comes with an optional tiara crown (that fits on any of our pretty princesses!)

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

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

Here is my completed card using Paige but you can see I colored her 

Princess Tiana from Princess and the Frog

I colored her with Copic markers

but before I colored her in I had to mask her and color in night background

with distress inks. After using distress inks I went in with a water brush to 

remove some of the color in random spots and colored in with a Yellow Copic

then I used Yellow Wink of Stella to make it look like fireflies are around her.

This is supposed to be Tiana in the masquerade dress that her friend Lottie let her wear.

The hand written message is a something that Tiana says when she sees

the "frog prince" when she first sees him and he responds by saying, 

"A kiss would be nice!" LOL  or at least is what I think he said.

For the crown I used Ranger's Big & Bossy embossing pad

and Martha Stewart tinsel embossing powder.

The dies are from My Creative Time. :P

That's all for now friends...

Stamps will be available in the STORE Friday!

Thanks for joining us for our February Release

 and have a great day!

I hope you liked the card

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

Here is my finished CAS card. 

I colored her as Princess Aurora and yes with a blue dress not a pink one. LOL   

I used Copic markers:

My interpretation of Strawberry Blonde 

Aurora's Dress

Her purply blue eyes before the eye lights.

Her skin and Whoops!!!

I misplaced one more maker for skin E0000

I loved coloring her so much. 

Hope you can get your little crafty hands on her so you can

have fun coloring her too.
