TSMONDAY, Making It Masculine!

Hello, this is my card for today's Totally Stampalicious Monday Challenge! This weeks challenge is to make it masculine! I used Gus Hunter for my card today. I coloured the image with copics and added crystal effects to his glasses. The card base is chocolate chip, with a layer of old olive embossed with a sizzix branches w/leaves EF. The edges are distressed and the image panel is popped up. The sentiment is one of several in this set, and I finished it off with some ribbon, HPH and micro brads!

TSMONDAY, Red, Yellow & white!

Hi Everyone, I made these bookmarks for the Totally Stampalicious Challenge. This weeks challenge is to use the colours Red, Yellow and add a neutral like white or vanilla!

I used the new set from Totally Stampalicious called Kitchen Chickens. These are great to use with home cooked items or a get well package, but today I made myself some bookmarks for my cookbooks.

I also added a piece of dp to the backs that has lines, so I can write my favorite page# and recipe on the back.I can't take credit for this idea, I saw it somewhere, but can't remember where!

I had all my pieces cut, coloured and ready to assemble and somehow managed to get a black ink smudge on one, so I covered it with a heart! Love problems that are easy to fix!

Okay so now it's your turn. Please make something using this colour challenge, and upload your creation to the Totally Stampalicious Blog!

Have a Great Day!

TSMONDAY, Paper Pieced Lamb!

Hi Everyone, it's time for the Totally Stampalicious Monday Challenge! This weeks challenge is to paper piece, one of my favorite things to do!

I used the cute lamb from the Moo-velous set. On the first basket, I paper pieced the lamb using a scrap of dp.

On the basket above, I stamped the image onto a second piece of white, embossed it with the swiss dot EF and cut it out. Then I lightly sponged the edges with Tim Holtz antique linen.

You can find instructions to make this box here, but please read the instructions as I made a labeling mistake in the photos!

Now it's your turn, just paper piece something and upload it to the Totally Stampalicious Blog!

Here's a side view. I used the new Smiley Balloon Riley, he makes me smile!
