7 Kids Crafts: Steampunk Debutante

Hello Everyone!

I purchased another Graphic 45 - Steampunk Debutante (Deluxe Collector's Edition) and felt like yes, I can cut the one I already have. haha I love things Steampunk or Victorian Era but always feel intimidated to cut my paper or really I don't feel that I know how to ensemble a great project with such fancy papers.

When I think about the Victorian era I also think about Steampunk. Fancy people of society roaming the sidewalks, many political gatherings, dinners or parties and lots of inventions. Even the houses and gardens that I imagine are beautiful to sit and admire. If I had lots of money for my wedding, I would have chosen a Victorian theme especially after watching a Novela called Alondra.  I was fascinated with their wardrobe in that Novela.

I had so much fun creating this card and with pretty much everything from the Graphic 45 - Steampunk Debutante (Deluxe Collector's Edition) except for the flowers some are from 7 Kids Craft Store and some are from Not2SshabbyShop. The Sprocket Gears are by Tin Holtz idea-ology that I got from Michael's many moons ago and same from the clocks which are a Michael's brand.

Lots of fussy cutting went down to make this project. Some days I look at it and it looks like a fancy feminine card and other days I look at it like: Oh man did I pile it on too much? But nah, you can't have too many roses or butterflies right?

Graphic 45 - Steampunk Debutante (Deluxe Collector's Edition)

Here is how the original lady with the corset looks and I added some
color with Copic markers. I forgot to write them down but I did
take note of the Copic Refills I used to tint the flowers to try
to match to the fun Steampunk Papers.

Copic Refills:

R11, YR21, YR12

BG10, BG34

Y21, YR21

7 Kids Crafts: Big Hugs in Paris

Hello Everyone!

Hope you are all having a wonderful day! Today I've had so much fun creating a romantic card using a Sweet November digital stamp. 

This month I've been loving coloring this Sweet November digital stamp Big Hugs. The last time I colored this image I blew it up and just had headshots to focus on their sweet faces. I also made it to be more like a platonic love or a like a mother and child love card. This time I colored the their full bodies and colored them to be in a romantic love in Paris with a scenery of the Eifel Tower in the background. I just love how Amy Young draws these sweet images. This digital stamp is exclusively sold at 7kidscrafts.com. Don't forget that this month the Vendor of the Month special for February are Flowers. Everything in the chosen category has flowers and they are on sale for 20% off, pleases use code: FLOWERS The link to that flower category is here: Vendor of the Month sale: FLOWERS

Sweet November Stamp - Big Hugs

I used lots of colors to color my image Copic markers which

skin:

E0000, E000, E21, R30

her hair:

E84, Y26, Y21

her wings:

RV52

romper:

RV55, RV66

his hair:E79, E29, E25

eye:

E23, E25, W1

his shirt:

C0, C1

vest:

B24, B26, B29

trousers:

E25, E29

shoes:

E25, E29

his wings: 

E21

sky: E0000, E000

grass:

YG07, YG17, YG63

trees/bushes:

YG67, YG63, E84

Eifel Tower:

I lightly drew it in with pencil

and just colored it with 

E71, E70

I kind of drew it in too thick on one side though, 

got a little heavy handed there.

I wanted him to hold a mix bouquet of flowers in his hand

so I cut a tiny portion of the Doodlebug Sprinkle. Then

I cut it up a little more to fit in the shape of his hand as best as I could.

I thought the size of this Doodlebug was perfect for the size I printed the image.

Nestled within the roses I put a little lock that comes in the 

Doodlebug Shaped Sprinkles called French Kiss,

I thought it was perfect for this romantic love and French themed card.

The 6x6 papers I used are called

Doodlebug Designs - French Kiss

The little embellishments are from:

Doodlebug Designs - Shape Sprinkles: French Kiss

The roses are from 

Wild Orchid Roses 

and I just used my Copic refills to match my card.

I had a blast making this card, I hope you got 

a little inspiration and if you'd like get to go 

shopping over at www.7kidscrafts.com/

Snowball Fairy

Good morning!

Last night I was working on this fairy that I've had for a while now but I hadn't trimmed it. I don't know why I don't do it when I first get my stamps..... I need to get better with that. This one is a retired gray Rubber Stamp but it may have been re-made into clear or revamped I'm not sure.  I found  a photo of the insert online so you can see how it looked on the shop. I also took a picture of a fraction of the mess I had created while trimming and coloring this fairy. No, It's not cute but when I get most creative the results for my desk are spread out and messy. At the end I might start a new coloring with the same pencils or markers or I'll put everything away and start fresh.

The Flowers are from Not2Shabby Shop (I just colored them a little),

 The corner Snowflake die is from LaLa Land Crafts,

and the Oval dies are from Spellbinders and from Avery Elle.

The paper is from Doodlebug Design

 close-up

I used Sakura gel pens for some of the shimmer 

I also used iridescent Chunky Glitter from Recollections.

Here's some of my kreative mess

These are most of the Copic makers, a Copic Multiliner, a Sakura Gelly Roll,  

a Uni-ball Signo Angelic, and one Prismacolor pencil

Here is how the stamp set looks (only mine is lavender)

I used Kraftin' Kimmie's September Sketch 

I hope you liked my card. 

Thank you for stopping by.

Holiday card

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.

Stamp AnnieThing June Release Day#3 Trudy

Hi and welcome to Day #3 of 

Stamp Anniething's June release!  

I love animals and my furbabies.... so this release is homage to PETS!

Here is Trudy and her very tweet friend!

Trudy will be available in the store NOW along 

with the other 2 stamps we showed you this week!!

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

Trudy

Trudy looks so cute with her little birdie.

Here is my completed card. 

I used Copic colors:

W5, W7, W9,

R20, R21, R22, R24,

E0000, E000, E01, E11, E40, E41 and E42

I used Copic Refills R20 and R30 to

color the smaller roses (from Wild Orchid Crafts)

that I purchased from The Not2 Shabby Shop

The paper is Prima Marketing: Lyric Collection

The dies are from Spellbinders

The banner from Spellbinders I just hand wrote 

the message myself. 

Here is a little bit of my process:

First I colored up Trudy but I outlined the leg 

since I wanted it to be visible behind the cage.

Then, I fussy cut as I normally do

but I cut off the cage. 

(My baby didn't like that I cut off the birdie. LOL)

Next, I only inked the bottom portion of the stamp

on to the Prima paper.

After that, I used a Spellbinders Oval die

and traced the outer part to make myself a bigger oval.

(Need to take care of that from my wish list....

buy bigger oval dies. LOL  )

Oh yea! I didn't throw the little bird from the original 

stamped image. I colored up the bird so I could stick 

it to the cage that was stamped on the Prima paper. 

I didn't keep beak nor the legs since it will show with the

the stamped image at the bottom.

Finally I glued her and the birdie down and added flowers all around.

***********************************

Thank you for joining us for our June Release

 and have a great day!

Hello!  I'm back with Day 6 of

May Them Week: Florals

I used Jessica - For You stamp set and colored her up with Copic markers.

Jessica - For You

Some colors I used

B93, B91, R30, Y23 and Y21

BV31, E0000, E000, E01, E21, R20 and R30

This is a 6x6 card

I tried to embellish with as many roses I could

without going too crazy with it.

I also colored the white roses with Copic markers

E13 and Y15

to match her clothing, bow and roses in hand.

The design paper is from 

Penny Black: Coco Style 6x6 pad

I used the colors from the papers as a contrast 

to the colors I colored her with. 

Here is a close-up of the coloring.
I've been experimenting (as usual) with certain colors
and intensity of which ones I want to stand out more.
I made this card for a technology teacher
at my kids' school that is leaving to pursue
a medical career. She is always very nice and always
happy to help... We will miss her. 

I hope you liked the card.

Thank you for visiting. 
Have a great day.

Sweetie Pie Liberty

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

This month is all about being in the kitchen... who doesn't like fresh baked goods, right?

Meet our newest stamp,

Liberty, Sweetie Pie!

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

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

Here is the Project I made :

Liberty, Sweetie Pie!

I kept thinking on all of the yummy sweet potato pies my MIL makes for

our family Thanksgiving Dinner

but I only had pumpkin paper haha not my favorite 

but there have been a few I've enjoyed. :P

Then as I colored this stamp I kept thinking of all or should I say few

pie songs I know and probably... or most likely... well heck 

definitely have nothing to do with real pies. hahaha

Do you remember that song by Domino called Sweet Potato Pie?

Or the one by Warrant called Cherry Pie? or maybe a newer song

called Trap Queen by Fetty Wap... I was very disappointed

that he really wasn't in the kitchen cooking pies for his baby

but I'm guilty of still jamming that song 

and putting that sweet image in my head. 

Yes, I'm weird.  haha

I used Copic markers

and dies from 

La-La Land Crafts and My Creative Time

The big rose is from Wild Orchid Crafts that I got 

from The Not2Shabby Shop I just colored it with a Copic refill R37

the paper is from Doodlebug Designs called Fall Friends

I used sketch from Mojo Monday

here is a close-up

I fussy cut her and paper pieced her dress, apron and hair bow. 

This stamp will be available in the STORE Friday!

Happy B-Day Jackie R

Hello Everyone, 

How are you? Today is sweet Jackie Randolph' birthday and I wanted to share a little card I made for her today. 

Happy Birthday Jackie

I hope you like your birthday card when it arrives.

I used this digi that I purchased a long time ago it's called

 Birthday Goddess.

 I only used Copic markers to color my image. 

Some roses were bought from Wild Orchid Crafts and the bigger roses from the

same company but were purchased at Jamie's Not 2 Shabby Shop here in the U.S.

 The inside before writing...

close up of the birthday digi :)

Thank you for looking. 

Katya Bess

I plan to enter my card at:

Slinky Tart DT: Be Stylish

Hey Everyone!

Gung Hay Fat Choy!  (Happy New Year!) I'm back with a shaped card today for Slinky Tart Design Team. I was inspired by the corset this digi stamp is wearing and by my mom who used to sew and had all of these different sewing machines; mostly the Singer brand and I would love to feel on that black metal and how the pieces moved. They would often have gold or metallic designs. Very Steampunky if you think about it. Also, thinking about the amount of manual work and hours it would take to make such a beautiful and interesting creation. 

I used The Big Teese digi stamp that I purchased last year, click on the link and you'll find her or you can explore the site and find some personal favorites here http://payhip.com/SlinkyTart.

 I colored her up with some of my favorite colors to wear: Red and Black

I cut it with my Silhouette Cameo but I created a card with simple welding in the program.

The paper is from Recollections.

The pearl swirls are from Prima Marketing.

I used Faber-Castell Pit pens Silver and Gold to doodle around

Then some layering with colored Sakura Gelly Rolls

The roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts and then used Copic refills to color them up.

 Here is a close-up of The Big Teese

I used Glossy Accents to add a glass effect or add a lens to her eye piece.

Here you can see that it is an actual card and not just a flat piece. 

The backdrop is my prom dress... of course I can not fit into it anymore

but I love the design and I love the colors. My hubby didn't want to go to the prom and in the end

I convinced him and we found it the night before our prom in San Francisco's Chinatown. 

If I remember correctly I only paid $38... maybe a few pennies less... 

The price was right and it fit perfectly... well a little tight on my hips but it was okay

I was happy I didn't pay like $300 to $500 like some other classmates. LOL   

May 2002 with my High School Sweetheart (and now husband + 4 kids together :D ) 

Thank you for visiting.
