Stamp Something Cute

Happy Friday!! Todays Stamp Something challenge is something cute. Our sponsor is Sugar Nellie who of course has SUPAH cute stamps! I got to play with a Leann Ellis image Fly Free. This image seemed springy to me so I colored the image to match the Twitterpated dp. I used this weeks Sunday sketch and stamp for my layout. You can check out the SS designers Sugar Nellie creations here and pull out your cute stamps and join us this week! We have a SS record breaking week last week with over 700 to play along! Woo Hoo!! Thats it for me today. Short and sweet since Im working on day 3 of a headache that just will not take the hint and leave already!LOL!! Have a good weekend!

Happy Birthday Makayla

Wow its been so long since I posted I actually dont know how to start this post!LOL!! So we'll just jump right into it. Todays Stamp Something challenge is Anything goes. Our sponsor is Whimsy Stamps and I was so excited b/c I've had this Maya blowing bubbles image since it was released and I finally got it colored. She just looks so sweet and after seeing Crissy color her up I had to have her b/c she reminded me of my niece. Since Crissy is a shading/coloring expert I used her card as my inspiration while coloring Maya. I actually colored this image up with no dp in my just my niece's fave colors. I kept the layout super simple just adding a sentiment stamped on the dp, some ribbon, and bling. I did also add some stickles to the bubbles and bubble jar. Be sure and go check out the SSDT cards and our fabulous sponsor here. Hope you all have a great weekend especially since its a 3 day weekend for most of us!

Stella Glitters

Show us your glitter! Today at Stamp Something our challenge is glitter. I picked up this DCWV Linen closet glitter mat stack on a recent shopping trip with my Mom so I knew I had to use it. I love the soft muted colors in it which is very different for me. I usually like the bold bright colored dp. Since I was such a slacker with my Christmas cards (I didnt send out any!) I decided to go ahead and get a head start on Valentine cards. I used Stella from TGF and colored her with copics. I chose this weeks SCS sketch challenge for my layout and stamped a sentiment from a Kim Hughes set on the horizontal panel with some pearls I colored with e43 copic. I also used some primas and flower centers I picked up. I was so excited since I usually never find any good embellishments at our local stores! Be sure and check out the sparkling creations from the Stamp Something ladies here. Thats it for me today! Hope you all had a great Christmas and a I hope you have a very Happy New Year!

Warm Winter Wishes

Its Digi Day at Stamp Something! I love digi day!LOL! This week I got to play with Whimsy Stamps and I was so excited. I love Crissys stamps so I played with this Warm Winter Wishes image. Arent those penguins and polar bear adorable?! They were so fun to color! I used some retired SU wintergreen dp. My fave to use for wintry cards. I love the colors in it. The sentiment is from MFT Baby its cold outside. Ive been trying to play around with some layouts instead of always using sketch challenges!LOL! I just love sketch challenges though. Of course my image is colored with my copics and I added some polar white flower soft under their feet (thanks for the flower soft Mama!). I love this stuff for snow! So fun! The ribbons I used were also SU. Be sure and check out the Stamp Something blog to see all the other sponsors this week and check out the SS girls creations. Have a great day!

A Cheeky Christmas with Stamp Something

Todays Stamp Something challenge is holidays colors. I used traditional Christmas colors on this card. I had this scrap of dp from last year and I paired it with my new Cheeky Christmas girl from The Greeting Farm. Of course Cheeky girl is colored with copics and I love playing around with new combos to get me out of my usual color combos like for reds I tend to always grab r24, 27, and 29. For this red combo I tried out r37, r46, r59, and a tad of c5 for the shadows. I really like how it turned out and it really matches the red in the dp better than this photo is showing!LOL! My e000 marker also ran out so I had to start using some other skin tones colors until my refill came in the mail so for this girl I tried more of a pink complexion using r000, r00, e11, and e13 and rv32 for blush. I used e40, e41, e42, and e43 for all the white areas using dots for a little texture. I also added some SU dazzling diamonds for a little sparkle. For her hair I used e31, 33, 35, 57, and 59. Now its time for you to pull out those holiday colors and

join us here on the SS blog. Of course while you're there check out the other fabulous holiday colors samples from the SS ladies. Have a great one!

Thankful Somethings

Since Thanksgiving has creeped up on us so fast Stamp Something decided to make some thankful cards this week. Our sponsor this week is Simon Says.

For my thankful card I used a new release image from CC designs Honey scarf (available today at ATS). As soon as I saw this image and her polka dot scarf the BG Green at heart dp popped into my head and I just had to use it with her. Honey is colored with copics and I added some fun grass and flowers. The sentiment is a retired set from SU Riveting I just covered the image with the button. When I showed the card to my hubby he said "Baby that doesnt look like a Thanksgiving card...wheres the turkey?!"LOL!! Well duh....I didnt say it WAS a Thanksgiving card!LOL!! I know this is short and sweet but Im super tired tonight work is kicking my tail after being sick!LOL! Have a great day!

Hershey the reindeer

Its Friday and its digi day at Stamp Something!! We have lots of sponsors this week and I got to play with this adorable image from one of our sponsors Sew Many Cards. This is Hershey the reindeer. I had to color him a chocolate color b/c of course a dog named Hershey would be a chocolate colored dog right?!LOL! I colored him all up in Christmas colors and paired him with some cute plaid Christmas dp from my stash. Im not positive where this paper came from but I think it came from a MME Christmas stack from HL. The plaid dp and kraft cs just seemed perfect to pair with this cutie. I really liked this weeks SCS sketch challenge so I used it again and just added some buttons for some simple embellishments. You can check out the sponsors and see what the other Stamp Something girls have played with here the print out those digis and come play along with us!

Hostess with the Mostess

My poor desk has been missing me...I would feel it call out to me every time I walked by it this week!LOL!! I finally had a chance to sit down and put together this card tonight. Todays Stamp something challenge is Stamped something (clear or rubber stamps). I used Amber Inks new set that Im just lovin Hostess with the Mostess. This new set from Amber Ink is available NOW in clear stamp or digi stamp!! I love how you can add all the accessories to her tray to make this such a versatile set! I decided to go with Thanksgiving for this card with her. I used some BG Indian Summer dp and the sentiment is from SU. I started out using this weeks SCS sc for my layout but then realized I left off a panel but I still love how it turned out. Sorry the pic isnt great we've had some rain so I pulled out my photo tent and remembered why I havent been using it..my nephew broke one of my bulbs.

Come join us this week at Stamp Something and pull out your clear or rubber stamps and get them inky! Check out what the SSDT got inky this week here!

Stamp Something Halloweeney

Its Friday!! Which means another Stamp Something challenge..just another reason to love Fridays! This weeks challenge is Halloween. I pulled out CC designs Halloween Brigitta and played with her for the challenge. Isnt she cute?! Love the spiderwebs on her hat and dress. Ive been spider crazy this Halloween for some reason!LOL! I used Anyone for Anyas color challenge of purple, silver (gray) and white to color up Brigitta and I also added in some olive green for her hair for some two toned hair. I used a lighter shade of purple (Coredinations cs) than I would normally use for Halloween colors but I like how it turned out with the black and silver. The spider web dp is from Echo Park. I used Jenns sfytt for my layout.For the Glitterbabes challenge I added silver stickles to the lines of the embossed spider web. I also added some my sakura clear glaze pen to go over the punched spider, her eyes, her wings, and the spider and web from her hat. I really dont know how I ever lived without this pen!LOL!! I went over the spider webs lines on her hat with the sakura silver pen-another must have for me. Lots of sparkle and shine on this cutie! Now go check out the other Halloween creations here.

I added LOTS of sparkle and shine for the Spoonful of Sugar challenge.

Okay now onto deets about the card. I colored Honey with copics and added some polka dots to her witch hat and skirt using my black copics marker. I added some copper stickles to her hair. My Sister and I ALWAYS had to add glitter to our hair whatever our costume was!LOL! And good grief does that stuff ever stink!LOL! I went over her eyes, lips, the spider and web, and the cats eyes and nose with the Sakura clear glaze pen(dont know how I ever lived without this!LOL!)

Ccceellebrate good times...come on!! Its a Celebration!LOL! Sorry couldnt resist a little Kool and the Gang this morning. So now that I have that song totally stuck in your head for the rest of the day onto the challenge...

Todays SS challenge is of course celebrate. I used this adorable Sweet and Sassy image Cocoas gift. Isnt he so cute peeking out the box?! I need to get started on my Christmas cards so I went with that but you can use the image for bdays also. I pulled out some retired SU dp that I only have a very few pieces left...GASP!! This is my FAVE SU holiday dp and I thought it went great with Cocoa. I also pulled out some of those snowflakes and added it to my button/bow treatment.

Sweet and Sassy is sponsoring this weeks Stamp Something challenge so I decided to use their Sweet Stop sketch for my layout. I always love these sketches! My sentiment is from an H&M set that I cant remember the name of but it was perfect for the challenge. So pull out your occasion stamps and join in on our celebration this week at the Stamp Something challenge blog!
