Passionate Paper Creations : Love U

Hey there Crafty Friends,


This weekend on Passionate Paper CreationsSome Odd Girl is our sponsor. I love the super cute images she comes draws up for us to color. I want to share a CAS card using a clear stamp from Some Odd Girl.  The clear stamps are only available in surprise grab bags now but I'm sure if you don't have one you'd love to get one. The grab bags are available here: Some Odd Girl "Grab Bags"  To color her up I used Polychromos color pencils.

This Stamp is called: Crushin Gwen


Polychromos Colors pencils (+ one Prismacolor)
Here are the colors I used:
skin: Light Flesh, Burnt Siena, Ivory and Medium Flesh
Lips: Caput Mortuum and Light Purple Pink
Eyes: Ultramarine, Sky Blue and Black
Dress: Light Purple Pink, White and Caput Mortuum
Hair: White, Burnt Siena and (Prismacolor) Jasmine


Thank you for stopping by,

I Pikachoose You to be My Valentine

Hello Crafty Friends!

Happy Valentine's Day!

I hope all is well and you're having a lovely day. Today I am sharing a card using Lorraine - Hello. I colored Lorraine  as Misty from the show Pokémon. My kids love Pokémon and all of their characters, they collect and trade cards, and sing the song all day long. LOL    So for Valentine's Day at school I made their Valentine's goodie bags with instead of Pokéballs into a Pokéhearts and included snacks. For Jade since she loves getting cards I made her one with the Pokémon theme.


Misty is a Pokémon trainer, she has very bright orangey hair, green eyes,
she wears a yellow crop top,
with short-shorts, red suspenders
what appears to be Converse shoes so I drew some laces...
Don't look too closely though....

I randomly drew some "Pokéhearts" with my Copic multiliner
and colored them in like Pokéballs. haha
I wrote out "I Pikachoose You!" as sentiment as a play with words
of "Pikachu" the main character (I think.)
here is a close-up. I had to color her again because for some reason

my Copic multi-liner bled and the back got picked up by the

marker... I made have contaminated it with one of my Sakura pens. :(

but this one came out okay I just had to do the eyelid and eyelashes after I was done

coloring the face.

I hope you like it.

Happy Valentine's Day or Happy Friendship for some.

Thank you for stopping by,

Oh Snap It's Valentine's Day

Hello Everyone!

Happy Sunday! Today I'm am sharing a card I made for my little Brother David Meza and his girlfriend Lala. I'm also happy to say that they are expecting a little baby boy, due sometime around my birthday in April. :P Woot Woot! I can't wait to meet another nephew! I wanted to personalize a Valentine Card for them. My brother is a photographer, biker, teacher, public speaker, hipster and all sorts of other things but his main profession is photography.

I used the stamp Chloe and Sam - Love You and for the little black and white insta-photo or polaroid photo I decided to use Sam from Chloe and Sam but I masked Chloe's face and then stamped Chloe - Stay Cool so yea same girl different stamp. LOL

I colored everything with Copic markers this time and I made sure to color Lala's hair in Warm Grays but David's hair is jet black and very shiny so I used the Cool Grays for his hair.  The papers are from Recollections Valentine 6x6 paper pad it's an older pad but I gotta use it to buy more right?

Chloe and Sam - Love You
Chloe's Hair W9, W7, W5 and W3
Sam's Hair C9, C7, C5 and C3 and pants too.
easy peasy... lemon squeezy
Chloe's Dress R35, R37, R46 and R39
Dies are from My Creative Time and from My Favorite Things


I kind of sort of forgot to add the glasses  before but I managed to use my embossing pad
and Whispers Opaque Black for the glasses. I was scared to mess up the image while 
making the card but I will definitely add some Glossy Accents to make the lens.

When making the card I was inspired by this photo of them. I didn't take that photo but I think it was a selfie... and probably David took it. LOL  

so with some masking and coloring with my Copic Warm Grays
I came up with this image.  Please excuse the scribbles...
it's my 3 year old Daenerys' artwork she wanted to add legs to 
the area that wasn't stamped. LOL 

Here it is all cropped and in a tiny polaroid picture die 
from My Creative Time.

I hope they like it and I hope you like it too.
Make sure to stop by 
for more inspiration with these adorable stamps.

Thank you for visiting and happy crafting.

`~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
here is my completed card using
I colored her up with Copic markers. 
I wanted to mainly work with blues and pinks so I gave her a cotton candy 
sort of hair color. I think the hair and the balloons came out pretty cool
but I feel that I may need to redo the face. Perhaps I will redo in a
different medium for you fine people. :D
Other than that I think it's okay and it was kind of simple to do with
My Creative Time dies called Stitched Cartoon Cloud Dies
The Recollections 110 lb cardstock is my fave for card bases
the light blue cardstock is 60 or 65 lb (I don't remember) but it's great for layering.
The clouds are with the 110 cardstock and some I even used the
Scotch mounting tape to pop them up (including Kelly and her balloons.)
That is it for now.

You can find her on this link http://simplybstamps.net/item_3105/Lisa-H-Steampunk-Bday-Digi.htm

Isn't she cool?


I colored her up with Copic markers
Of course I chose red as part of the colors since it was also Valentine's day
The paper is from DCWV Tattered Time stack (12x12)
My Crafty Friend BreAnn McFarland sent me the gears as part of a Christmas gift. 
(She's is looking at this from Heaven)
I fussy cut a larger gear for a little bit of dimension 
The faint stamping is from a Heartfelt Creations stamp
which I have misplaced on this messy desk.... 
I used Antique Linen Distress Ink to stamp that on the edges.


That is it. I hope you like it
I hope Lisa H likes it too.

Slinky Tart DT: Finger Lickin' Good

Hey Everyone!

Back today with a saucy little card....Tamara has done it again and came up with something super sweet and sexy image for us to color and play with.

Today I'm using Culinary Claire 2.0  you can find her here https://payhip.com/b/ezvk or you can browse through her shop https://payhip.com/SlinkyTart



 I colored her with Copic Markers and the garter belt I tried to make it sheer as well as her stockings
Found the recipe for love online just typed it up and added a couple of ingredients.
The paper is one of my favorites just wish I had some plain cardstock to match it
it's from Prima Markerting: 6x6 paper pad called The Optimist
The brad on the recipe card as well as the sticky  tag is also from the same collection.
I found the paper pad at http://www.thestamproom.com/
The circle and heart doilies I found those at Michael's and the flowers are from
http://www.wildorchidcrafts.com/ that I got a long time but they match with the paper I 
Just inked them with the Copic Refills. 

Here you can see a little more detail in the coloring
I wanted to make her frosting dimensional with my pearl pen 
but my Krafty Korner is a horrible mess... .... yea...


Anyway, I hope you liked the card.
I had a lot of fun coloring her up and trying to think of something saucy but clean ;)


Thanks for looking.

SBS DT: Dies and Judes

Hey Everyone!

Back today with a little image from Simply Betty Stamps and it's all about the Jude and the Rockers. We are to use any die cut; frame, border, cuts, anything just use any die cut from any machine or favorite die brand.

I used Baby Jude Addams that I purchased oooh so long ago and you can find him here: http://simplybstamps.net/item_1693/Baby-Jude-Addams-Digi.htm This particular digi did not come with a sentiment like most SBS digis do so I created my own with a poem I found online.

When I colored him up I was totally inspired by the baby Pubert Addams. He's too too cute but he is a handful little fella. LOL I also have a couple of Crafty friends that are Anti-Valentine so they also inspired this card... BreAnn and Tanja. Heehee.

 Since the card was inspired by a movie 
I used the film die which was gifted in a RAK by BreAnn McFarland.  <3 p="">
The button was given to me in a SBS Secret Pumpkin Blog Hop by Stacey Stratis.  :)
Here is a close-up of him. Too cute and has that totally lovable baby face.
I really love his expression.

Card Recipe:

 Digi Stamp: Jude Baby Addams
 
Coloring Medium: Copic Markers

Papers: DCWC The immortal Love Stack
and Bazzil Basics Paper for the base

Die/s: The Greeting Farm - Film & Polaroid die set
                
Accessories: Martha Steward Elegant Witch Fabric and pearl swirls are from Prima just colored with Copic in W9 to match colors of the paper/clothing. 


Thank you so much for visiting.

SBS DT: Color Combo

Hey Everyone,

Simply Betty Stamps is bringing back the Teen Scene Steampunks! These cuties will be making their way onto the site something this month.  There was a contest going on at Simply Betty Stamps Fan Page and you just have to use your favorile color or favorite color combo.

I love all of the colors... rainbows... iridescent anything.... but for this card I chose a color that pops for me that I enjoy buying and that is HOT PINK and black.

I used My Funky Valentine Betty (will add the link when it's back in the shop) in the meanwhile you can look around in the teens section if you like this style of digis.   Here is the link http://simplybstamps.net/category_331/Teen-Scene-Digis.htm

Okay here's my card.

I colored her with Copics. I printed her pretty small 
and took me a lot longer to color but it came out alright in the end. 
I used Bazzill Basic cardstock for the base and The Sweet Lace cardstock from DCWV
the steampunk gear dies are from Prickley Pear and I bought them here  http://www.thestamproom.com/search.aspx?manufacturer=24
The big heart box is actually the one she's holding 
I just flipped it, enlarged, fussy cut it and then I covered the hand 
with some of the design paper I used as the back ground. 
Here is a close up of the digi.
Took me a while to color it only because it's much much smaller than what I'm used to coloring. 

Thank you for stopping by.

Slinky Tart DT: Valentina has gotcha!

Hey Everyone!

Posting my very first blog for the brand spanking new Slinky Tart. This digi brand was created by Tamara van Wijk, she is the owner of the former The Stamping Chef but unfortunately had to close that shop... she now is only doing Smexy art and Pin-Up style but I love it! If you have any questions regarding the new shop http://slinkytart.com/Store/  even for the old store TSC, please don't hesitate to contact Tamara @ info@slinkytart.com.

Now to show you my creation with Valentina, just click on the link and you'll find her there if you want to buy her. If you love these Smexy/Pin-Up Styled digis then you would love to join in at https://www.facebook.com/groups/SlinkyTart/ there are sometimes prizes, get info from store, even inspiration from everyone else who loves Slinky Tart and sometimes who knows... a discount code.


 I loved coloring Valentina with my Copic markers.
The clouds I created with my Caran D'ache Supracolor II Soft water color pencils
then of course brushed a little water over the drawing for soft puffy clouds.
The Gotcha, arrow and small heart cuts were from the Silhouette store.
The awesome red and blue Bazzill Basic Paper were gifted in a big stack from
my one of my Crafty BFF's BreAnn. :) Thank you so much. 
The super sexy image was provided by Tamara. Thank you very much as well.  
Here is a close up of the face.

I hope you love this image and style, they're so fun to work with.
