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!

Roaring Twenties Tiana

Hi there!

I made this card using one of the newest stamps from Stamp AnnieThing called

 Lucille - Roaring Fun. 

I colored her with Copic markers

and with the intention of looking like Tiana from 

The Princess and the Frog.

The skin colors are: B24, E11, E35, E23, R22 and R30.

For the Hair I used C9, C7 and C5...  I used that C9

so much that it was too sticky... good thing I have replacement nibs

and a refill because the alcohol did not help with bad it colored.

Oh yeah and the dress I used YG00, YG05, YG06 and YG07 (YG07 

always gives me big blobs of ink :[ I'm going to to have to stop being a cheap-o

and just change that nib too)

My desk is so cluttered that I keep trying new colors out because I can't

find my other markers... well I like trying new colors but part of it

is because my desk is so messy. LOL Creative Explosion happens I guess....

The paper is from Die Cuts With a View and it's called The Magnolia Way

and I thought it was perfect to go with "Tiana." 

The dies are from Craftin' Desert Divas and 

from My Creative Time. I fussy cut the image and used C9 all around to get rid of 

the white showing from the edges of the paper and then

added a little bit of Wink of Stella to her hair band and dress band

when it was glued down. The I decided to use the sentiment

that comes with this stamp that says: Roarin' Fun

but I accidentally used my Memento Black ink

and realized this will not work with that paper so before it smeared

I tried to rescue it with embossing and then realized that it was frantage

as I embossed it. LOL    It looks nicer in person but I may die

cut a little piece of paper and just glue on top... not sure yet.  teeheehee.

So the last card I made with this stamp I kept thinking of

Charlotte La Bouff aka Lottie which is Tiana's best friend...

you can see it here with the August 2016 release and I also 

colored Paige as Princess Tiana over here with the February 2016 release.

I have so much fun coloring the Chibi Kids as popular characters

especially when I make cards for my kids, teachers, family and friends.

That's about it for this card.

I hope you got a chance to buy and play with a 

few of these cuties. 

Have a great day.

Rip Roarin' 20's fun Lucille!

Here is a close-up of the image and you can see

where I added a little bit of Wink of Stella to add some sparkle to

Stamp AnnieThing August Previews Day 1 - Tess

Hi and welcome to Day #1 of 

Stamp Anniething's August release!  

Let's do a sort of TIME warp dance with this release!

Meet 80s punk rocking Tess!!

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

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

Here is my card using the rocking Tess!

I colored the entire image with Copic markers.

I stamped the image with Memento Desert Sand.

Copic colors used: 

E21, E11, E13, E04, R30, R21, R22

B00, B21, B0000

B21, BG01, B23, B24

Y08, C1

E35 and Y15

For the eyesights I used Uni-ball Signo Angelic

For the eyelashes I used a Copic multi-liner

Then added some light shimmer with Wink of Stella Clear on the hair

and parts of her guitar as well as the stars in the background.

I colored this image based on this show my daughter Jade watches

it's called LoliRock. Talia is the name of this character, her hair is normally

brown but with magical powers her hair transforms to this frosty blue.

Close up and you can also see the shimmer a little better. 

I hope you enjoyed our August peeks so far!

 Have a great day!

Rainbow Brite fun

It's time for another Theme Week!

Time for a smile.. its all about RAINBOWS... Simply use rainbow colors and themes!

We would love for you to participate with us in our THEME WEEK and it's quite easy to do so!  Simply create a project using ANY Stamp Anniething product (as your main focal point) in the set "theme" for that month. Post your project to the corresponding album over at our Face Book Group page (Stamp Anniething Stampers)! You may enter as many projects as you wish, but you will only be counted as ONE entry person.  A minimum of 5 people (not including DT Members) is needed in order for a prize to be given.

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

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!

Always Anything Goes

Cupcake Time

Hello Crafty Friends!

I have a little card to show you with 

Megan - Hey Cupcake.

I always like to play around with different skin tones but I also like to 

try out different hairstyles. With Megan I wanted to try and give her some 

braids. I have tried doing braids on another stamp Megan (Winter Wishes) before but with 

Prismacolor pencils and you can see my process here. 

I think it was a little easier for me to do it with markers

but I also tried a slightly different technique that was a little faster too.

I think in the future I will have to show you my braid process with 

the markers but probably when the kids are in school.... 

like I said before I colored Megan - Hey Cupcake

with Copic markers.

W5 and W7

E11, B34, E37, E34, R22 and R30

E50, (I forgot which yellow I used for the frosting)

but eh barrette, the collar, sprinkles

 and the cherry were done in RV29

The uniform was paper pieced

and all of the design paper was all from 

Echo Park: Birthday Wishes

The card base was with Recollections

Oh yea and I added Wink of Stella

Clear that I finally opened up to add some

shiny sugar to the yellow frosting. :P 

Also I used this sketch for my card I just placed the sentiment 

in a different spot... and I hope that is okay.

Sketch by Kaylin

I Hope you liked my card.

Thank you so much for stopping by

Have a great weekend.

SAT May Release Paige Girls Night

Hi and welcome to Day #1 of 

Stamp Anniething's May release!  

This month is all about being a girl and hanging with the girls, its also about pampering yourself a bit too!

Meet our newest stamp,

Paige, Girls Night

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

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

Here is the project I made!

I colored Paige - Girls Night

as The Princess and the Pea

Just hand drew some funny looking mattresses

and hid a pea on the bottom right. :P

I've seen several short YouTube videos

but I couldn't find one I saw as a child

(I don't remember who made it) but that 

one was my favorite and my second favorite 

is the one from HBO's Happily Ever After series.  

Can you believe that I didn't fussy cut at all?

The background edges I used my mini distress ink

called Victorian Velvet. 

The sentiment is from Giselle - For a little princess

and honestly I don't remember where my crown stamp is from

but I used embossing powder.  As soon as

I figure it out I will update my blog.

Make sure you take a look at the other 

DT ladies that made cards with Paige - Girls Night

Thanks for joining us for our May Release.

Have a great day!

Thank you for visiting.

Such a Beauty

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

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

here is a sneak peek of my card

She was so fun to color.

Annie is ready for her prince!  

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

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

Here is my completed card

I colored her with Copic markers 

this was actually the fist time I did a no-lines coloring

with Copic markers and it took me a little longer but

I enjoyed it the entire time.. Duh I love coloring.  haha

This method of coloring did take me a little longer only because it was 

my first time so I wanted to make it a CAS card but the

gold foiled card-stock gave it that extra something (I think.) 

I added some sparkle to her dress by adding some

yellow wink of stella and to me the shimmer is gold 

so it worked out wonderfully.

She's is such a beauty don't you think?

Stamps will be available in the STORE Friday!

Thanks for joining us for our February Release

 and have a great day!

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

A Simple Merry Christmas

Hi Everyone!

I know it can get a little hectic around the holiday season but crafting doesn't always have to be.... I made this CAS (Clean and Simple) card for my daughter's principal to wish her a Merry Christmas and to thank her for her excellent work at the school.

The rubber stamp is from The Greeting Farm's 

Secret Santa Set.

She's too cute but really all of them are. 

I colored her up with Copic markers.

The card layers dies are from My Creative Time. 

The white card base heavy cardstock is from Recollections

a Michael's brand.

Since the card is simple I tried to give it a little shimmer

with Wink of Stella Glitter pens on the bow and on the 

cuts on the from and inside of the card which read

Merry Christmas.

Thanks for looking.

Trudy cheers "Everybody say Warriors!!!"

Sneaking you a peek of Trudy...

Hi and welcome to Day #1 of Stamp AnnieThing's December Release! 

This release is all about sports... well SAT style anyway!

Trudy (Cheers)

Everybody in the stand let me hear you clap your hands(Clap hands) 

Now that you got the beat let me hear you stomp your feet (Stomp Feet) Now that you got the groove let me see your body move awooga awooga awooga (Move body from side to side with pomp pomps in hands) Now give me one loud cheer 'cause Trudy is the house! 

Trudy is back and she has loads to cheer about!

Look at her adorable pom poms and she even comes with the megaphone + a sentiment.

Color her to match your favorite team and get into the spirit!!!

Trudy be available in the store Friday along with the other 2

*\O/* *\O/* *\O/* *\O/* *\O/* *\O/* *\O/* *\O/* *\O/* *\O/* *\O/* *\O/* *\O/* *\O/* 

Here is my completed card. You can call it CAS.

I kept thinking of the cheerleader photos from high school...

not mine of course, I had a choice of going to cheer camp for the summer

and spending about $500 on that or earning some money with my love of 

visual arts at the Richmond Art Center. The art center won but I do love 

choreographed dancing too so I did that during the school year just not as cheerleader.

Coming back to Copic markers and I even used some

ZIG Wink of Stella pens my angel friend BreAnn, now in heaven gifted me last Christmas. 

I used GI. Yellow because it has a golden shimmer and GI. Blue 

which were perfect in making my Trudy be 

a Golden State Warriors cheerleader. 

I have to rep The Bay okay!  

Everybody say Warriors! 

"Warrrrriors!!!"  

The stickers of the hoop and basketball are from Michael's 

and sorry I misplaced the packaging.

Stamps will be available in the store Friday!

Thanks for joining us for our December Release

Have a great day!
