Get Well Treat From Nurse Sophie!

Hello, I made this for the Friday challenge HSC90, on the Hanna Stamps forum. This weeks challenge is Hosted by Cindy Haffner, make a treat holder!

I hope it doesn't matter that I didn't use the Halloween theme!

This is the new Nurse Riley/Sophie from Hanna Stamps. She looks so happy, she'd cheer anyone up!

So here is a 2,5,7,10 box, you can find the tutorial here. I coloured the Nurse with copics and added a tiny heart gem to her name plate.

Now originally the front edge was beautiful, I had used a MS edge punch with a tiny scallop edge & tiny hearts. But when I used the hole punch for the ribbon, I didn't notice it was wrecking my beautiful edge leaves indents! So I decided to repunch it, but I was doing it the lazy way, with the box already full of mints & the end result looked like I did it while drinking & the hearts didn't line up! darn it! so since I was running out of flap! I made it straight & rounded the corners!

I made the window in the box with an oval coluzzle, then backed it with acetate.The glittery heart was made with the Martha Stewart punch. I also punched a heart from a dbl sided sticky sheet, put it on the cs heart & dipped it into red glitter. The Nurse & the heart are popped up.

So that's my story!
Have a Happy Thanksgiving

These cards are pretty simple, I wanted the ribbon & colour to be the focus.

All the Ribbon Riley's were stamped onto white & coloured with copics. I matted each with the matching ribbon colour.

World Card Making Day!

Hello, this is a card I made for WCMD09L. It was a sketch challenge, and I decided to use Safari Riley.

The card base is brocade blue, with a layer of apricot appeal, and then a layer of dp from my momenta-born to be wild.

I stamped the image on white with noir black palette. Coloured with copics & used circle/scallop nesties to cut the layers.

The sentiment is from Stampology-Always & forever seals. It was stamped on white & the opposite side of the animal dp which is red. I used circle punches and hand cut the red piece. This is popped up.

Happy WCMD!

Name Badge for Stampin Palooza!

Happy Saturday everyone! I had a wonderful day today, my Friends Sandee & Sue treated me to the first annual Stampin Palooza event in Toronto! It was a full day in a room filled with many talented stampers.

There was a name badge contest and both Sue & Sandee encouraged me to make one! Okay so needless to say I was up way too late trying to come up with the perfect badge, funny, unique, etc. So I had 2 ideas, flowers, or sock monkey hmmmm..... well I started with the flower from 'Pretty Amazing' stamped it 3 times on so saffron & embossed with clear emobossing powder. You know when you play around waiting for that aha moment, which often comes when not expected? well I didn't get it with the flower, and time was running out, so I moved on to the monkey!

First I stamped a piece of kraft & a piece of natural (cream?) with the canvas bg stamp & creamy caramel. Then I stamp Ms. Monkey on both with close to cocoa. I also stamped the monkey on a plain piece of Kraft so I could make it a bit thicker. I then cut out the lighter pieces and glued them in place! Then I cut along the inside on the arm near the bottom. My husband then cut a piece of a flat kabob stir stick thingy for me and I attached a small piece of rubber scrap, and voila Ms Monkey has her own stamp! I attached the stamp under the arm with a glue dot.

The sentiments were computer generated. Then of course you need gems, because what's a party without sparkle, and this stampaholic loves sparkle! I added a brooch pin on the back with crystal effects.

My badge didn't win, and even though it took awhile to get the aha momento while making, in the end...I'm really happy with it!

Have a great evening
