Totally Stampalicious NEW Release!


Well I'm Totally thrilled to be designing for Totally Stampalicious, and wait til you see this fabulous new set Glam Kitty! It will be on sale today Friday Jan 15, and don't forget there's a sale going on right now, how great is that!

I always seem to focus on the main stamp image in a set, so I decided to try using just the smaller pieces. I love how this turned out!

The card base is rich razzleberry, and the white was made with the spellbinders classic frame, sponged with pale plum. The pale plum layer was cut using the scallop rectangle nestie, this layer is popped up.

The purses were stamped onto the white, and then on cottage wall dp. The sentiment also from the Glam Kitty set, was stamped in rich razzleberry and punched with the SU oval, then layered on the scallop oval & popped up.

I finished it off with the old olive taffeta, I love that stuff!

Please visit the other Designers and see all the great things they've come up with! I promise you won't be disappointed.

Grinch Treat Box for Daisy!

My Daughter's friend Daisy loves Jim Carey & the Grinch, so when I came across this Grinch by ILdyson76, the wheels started spinning & I came up with this Grinch treat box for Daisy! Jen (ILdyson76) was nice enough to post the instructions on her blog here.

I changed the colours a bit and embossed the fur on his hat, but other than that I used the same parts.


You can see from the side, that I made a little box out of the green (if I remember right it's old olive) and I also made a back.


Paper: Old Olive, Real Red, Whisper White,so saffron, Basic Black

Punches and Die:Boho Blossoms trio punch, scallop edge punch, 1 3/8" circle punch, Top Note Sizzix die

Ink/markers: Old olive, Basic Black Stampin Write marker

Accessories: Red gems, sponge, d'vine swirl EF

Have a great Day!

Perfect Depiction!

I bet I'm not the only one that looked like this as Christmas was fast approaching! I saw this awesome card by flowergal36 in the SCS gallery, and I just had to get this image and make a card for my friends Sandee & Sue. This is a digital image from sketching stamper digi images



I used the same bold black & red, because I loved it, but I added the heart punched edge.



Digi Image: Christmas card crisis

Paper: real red, black, white,

CC252, Sympathy for a Friend


Hello, it seems that although I have boxes of cards, when I need one for a friend, I never have the right one!


Our Friend lost his Mother and although I have a few sympathy cards, I didn't have the right one! So I needed it fairly quick and decided to use this weeks colour challenge CC252 bermuda celery hunters, and I took inspiration from Faith aka markie'smom, she always has beautiful cards.


The card base is handsome hunter, with a layer of bermuda bay and and then a layer of white that was embossed with the victoria EF and I punched the edge with Martha Stewarts botanical scallop edge punch.


The image from Flourishes Birds in Vines set, was stamped onto white with memento tuxedo black & then I coloured the leaves with copics. The coloured was sponged on with daubers, and I used a white inkssentials pen on the flower. I cut this out with oval nesties and popped up.


The sentiment from SU Warmest Regards was stamped with handsome hunter and punched with the modern label punch. I popped it up and added tiny pink gems.


It's finished off with white satin ribbon.

TSMONDAY11, Rockin Frawg!


It's Monday, and there is a fun sketch challenge over on the Totally Stampalicious Blog! I swear I hadn't seen Joycelyn's card before I made mine! I thought I was being so clever using the Rockin' Frawg set with stars! lol I guess great minds do think alike!
The card base is pretty in pink with a layer of dp from Basic Grey's Sultry. I added dots with a chocolate chip marker, and all the pink edges & the white panel are sponged with pretty in pink ink.
I didn't colour my frog, instead this time I stamped him on dp from Basic Grey's Eva. I stamped his whole body, and then his head twice. I also stamped him on white for the guitar & the whites of his eyes. The guitar is coloured with copics. So then I glued everything in place, including the eyes & eyelids then the head is popped up.
The music notes in the background are also from the Rockin' Frawg! set I stamped them in chocolate chip. I just realized while typing this that I could have punched out a circle from my strip since the chocolate circle is bigger! duh It took me 3 times stamping it to get the right placement! Well that's my lesson for today! lol
Not much else to tell, the main panel is popped up as well as the circle & the stars.

Have a Great Day!
