Back to School series

Hello Crafty Friends!

Today I am showing you a card with sort of a school theme. I used the fun papers from Doodlebug Design called: Back to School. The stamp I used is James - Happy Birthday to You. This stamp comes with a sentiment but I did not use it this time. 

James - Happy Birthday to You

 I colored him with Copic markers, 

the eyelights were done with a Uni-ball Signo White pen

and the card sketch is very simple to recreate.

I used a sketch from Kraftin' Kimmy Stamps

I hope you liked the card.

Thank you for visiting.

Have a nice day.

TTPH DT: Kenny K Teacher Card

Hello Crafty Peeps!


Trying to unwind from a crazy week.... still have loads to do but still grateful for everything.

This week at Through The Purple Haze Challenges blog is ANYTHING GOES with an option to use Wood or Chipboard and our Sponsor this week is Kenny K Woohoo!

So I was assigned this image called Sexy Teacher. The image is super cute but I don't know any sexy teachers LOL and if I did I would feel weird giving them a sexy card. LOL So I hope I don't offend Kenny him in anyway but I had to add a paper skirt on top of the image so I am able to USE this card for my son's Kindergarten teacher. She wears big colorful skirts all of the time. I showed my son my card and he told me, "I told you my teacher loves purple!" LOL I said, "Well you can make her a card using lots of purple." LOL I was asking if he liked it and what he thought but I guess he TOLD ME.... Ha! Anyway on to my card.

Okay, I do NOT have chipboard and the wood veneer that I do have are bikes. LOL It was 

an optional twist. I used paper with pencils.... but I hope you like it anyway.

 I colored my Teacher with Copic Markers. 

The papers are from Me & My Big Ideas and it's called Off To School.

The dies and sentiment stamps are from My Creative Time.

That's all folks!

Make sure you join Team B this week at

Back to School Card for Kindergarten teacher

Hello Crafty Friends.

I have created a "back to school" card  with one of Robert Jackson's digi images. This digi name is
"Lil Back to School" You can find her on the Lil Folks gallery: http://fineartsbyrobertjackson.com/lil-folks.html I love this image.

I think the image is super cute for my daughter's Kindergarten teacher card. 

Or even a scrapbook layout for 1st Day of School.

 Somewhat detail of the "wooden desk."

I used Copic markers for the clothes, books, apples and skin. I used Spectrum Noir markers for her hair much cheaper than Copics- they did bleed a tiny bit but I wasn't using special paper... just plain old card-stock which is why I had to change my whole "card plan." (Can't throw my coloring away... I know it's just paper and ink but I'm slow at coloring and I barely do anything crafty so just make something different with the image right?) So I cut it and gave it a slight pop up look by fussy cutting her . I reprinted the image in brown for the desk and used a zebra embossing folder moving it slightly 3 times to give it a "wood" look but the embossing was too deep so I ran in without a folder to flatten it out a bit. I used glossy accents on the hair knockers/balls as well as on the mug to give it that ceramic look (sorry my photography didn't capture that.) The sentiment is from Emma's  My Creative Time, Gift Card Sentiments.

Thank you so much for stopping by my page. I hope you check out more of Robert Jackson's digis. Also, there are Weekly challenges always "Anything Goes." http://jacksonsdigitalexpressions.blogspot.com/

Anything Goes

Back to School Project

Hello Everyone!

Hope all is good and dandy. Continuing with the month long challenge/s and partnership of new sponsors sites for J.D.E. this week we are are introducing Mayzy Art Stamps. Mayzy Green is the heart of these cute stamps. She's a self-taught artist and boy do I love her stamps. At J.D.E. we decided to make it a "Back to School Theme" of course the challenges are "Anything Goes" for everyone using any stamp your hearts desire.

Here is my project/s; a mini backpack and a card to go with it.

The Mayzy Art Stamp I used is "School Time Hailey"

This is my "wanna be keychain with charms" LOL I wish I had the tools 

to make an "actual keychain" but I thought the backpack was too bare

and just had to add something. What is a girl's backpack without a cute charm anyway...? 

Right! A boy's backpack. lol

I know I have shrink wrap somewhere in my crazy looking craft corner but I just couldn't find it

maybe it's in the garage when I was putting my "junk-not-so-much-trash" away. So what I did is I printed just a few accents from the "School Time Hailey" digi stamp and enlarged them.

I colored them and then added Glossy Accents. 

This is my first time using Glossy Accents and I love it.

 I used Glossy Accents to make her glasses have the "glass" look.

For her uniform I printed one out the same size,

then cut just inside the lines all around it as well as

the pleats. I did this because I wanted a uniform like

the one my daughter will be wearing for Kindergarten

the school uniforms will be either Khaki or Navy blue.

Here's the card...

The sentiment is from Emma's My Creative Time: Gift Card Sentiments Set

and the mini backpack.

I hope you ladies and gents enjoyed your visit.
