TSMONDAY, Kickin' It Old School!

Hi Everyone! It's Monday, that means Totally Stampalicious Challenge time! This week we are challenging you to get out a stamp that hasn't seen ink for at least 6 months or so! There's also a prize for one lucky winner this week, you'll get to choose one of the 4 original Totally Stampalicious sets!

I've used one of the original four Totally Stampalicious sets today, this is Road Hawg! I loved this set as soon as I saw it in the SCS Gallery when it was first released!

OK I went a little out of my element today with colours for a biker, but I decided to use up a piece of paper I had left from using the Ink Spray & Smash technique! The background piece I made was sprayed with the gold shimmer spritz, & I thought it might be cool to use gold on the bike instead of silver!

The card base is black with a layer of baja breeze stamped with a tire track stamp I bought a while back at our local craft store. I stamped it in basic grey and then sponged the edges with the baja breeze.

The Road Hawg was stamped onto white and coloured with copics. Then I coloured over the pipes and handle bars with the gold uni-ball pen. Then because I kept cutting the image panel in the wrong spot!!! I ended up cutting the whole thing out and backing it with black!

The gears were made with the SU punch, and the sentiment is from the Road Hawg set!

So dig out some old stamps and join us in our challenge. There will be a prize drawn this week, and remember all Guest Designers and chosen from those who play in the weekly challenge! Just make sure to upload your creation to the Totally Stampalicious Blog for your chance to win!

Have a Great Day!

TSMONDAY, Thankful!

Hello, Happy Monday! Since our Canadian Thanksgiving is fast approaching, this weeks Totally Stampalicious Challenge is to make a Thankful card or project!

I made a card, and although it may not seem like a Thank You card, the inside will either say Thanks or Happy Thanksgiving, I haven't decided yet!

For today's card I used Farmer Hawg and coloured him with copics. I had picked my dp first, which is usally how I start, so I coloured him to match.

The strip down the side is white stamped with poppy parade and Hero Arts Spoon & Fork. The sentiment in his sign is also from this set.

The card base is black, with poppy parage and dp from Moxie called home cooked.

I finished it off with some ribbon and popped up the main image panel!

Everyone is welcome to play along, and who knows, maybe you'll win something! Make sure to upload your creation to the Totally Stampalicious Blog for your chance to win!

Have a Great Day!

MMTPT89, Pork Chopper to the Rescue!

This weeks Teapot Tuesday Party MMTPT89, is in honor of Faith (Markies Mom) and of course her side kick Speedy the Cat! Faith is nearing the 100,000 comments on SCS, shes worn out, and now Speedy is up to his usual tricks, hiding stamps, knocking things over and doing just about anything to cause a scene and get Faiths attention! So Faith has decided to sent Speedy on a little vacation to see Kittie Caracciolo (Kittie747) so she can teach him how to create a beautiful artistic scene!

Speedy has been slow to get ready for his vacation, hes worried the rumors are true! Youve probably heard the rumors that have circulated for 42,000 some odd years now...about the existance of...Slater the cat hater Gator!!!! What ever will he do if he comes face to face with a cat hating gator???

It is a little known secret, that Speedy the cat is very well respected by the Head Hawg of the local biker gang...Pork Chopper! This guy thinks so highly of Speedy the cat, he even had his likeness tatooed on his arm. Unfortunately the tatoo artist didnt graduate at the top of his class, so his work isnt as clear as it should be!

Anyway Pork Chopper, head of the largest bike gang around, with 100,000 members, has made it his personal mission to deliver Speedy the Cat safe and in one piece to Kittie so he can create the perfect scene!

No way will those gators be bothering Speedy! and of course he enjoyed the ride with the wind blowing through his black silky fur...what a life he leads!

Stamps: Road Hawg, Our family Tree, Speedy the cats friends, snakeskin-inkadinkado
Paper: tempting turquoise, black, white
Ink: memento tuxedo black, versamark
Accessories: copics, black ep, copic atyou spica silver, brads, distressing tool, circle punches, word window, dimensionals

Happy 40th Sean!

Hello Everyone, it's Monday, and that means time for another Totally Stampalicious challenge! This week it's a colour challenge, Black, White & Wow, a colour of your choice! Now I was going to use something other than red, because my first thought is red or bright pink, but I had to use red for this one!

I made this for my little (haha) Brother who turned 40 on the weekend. My SIL had a surprise party for him. So in honor of my Brother Sean, I added red because ther ruby is for 40th anniversarys! I also made my very first wiper card, I had been avoiding them because I thought they were difficult, but I was wrong!

I used the Road Hawg set for this card. The base is real red, and the black pieces have been crumpled and distressed in an attempt to make them look like leather.

The main image was coloured with copics, then I cut it out and popped it up.

I found this really cool glittery cardstock at the Dollar Giant the other day, so I used it and my 'Olivia' cuttlebug die to make the numbers. I also made part of the road hawg sign with it.

Here you can see the wiper up!

and this is the basket of suckers I put together! I've seen these on SCS, and thought it was a fun idea, so I had to give it a try.

I hope you can join in the challenge this week. Remember to upload your black, white & wow creation and use Mr. Linky here. If you post on any forums, please use the keyword TSMONDAY18!

Have a Great Day!

Have a Swine Time!

Hello, I made this for the Monday Challenge on the Totally Stampalicious Blog This weeks challenge is to make a card in a shape other than the usual square or rectangle!

So I used the new Farmer Hawg to make an octagon card!

I stamped the image twice with memento tuxedo black, and coloured with copics. I also stamped the image onto paper to make a mask so I could sponge in the clouds. Then I cut out the Farmer from one coloured image. His right side is glued down directly to the cardstock, his left side (with the sign) is popped up.

Thanks for another great challenge!

You should join in the fun, the prize this week is a $10. gift certificate.

Manly Road Hawg, Monday Challenge!

Hello, I made this for the 2nd Monday challenge TSMONDAY2 over at the brand new Totally Stampalicious stamp company! We were to make it manly!I combined this with the TLC240 foil embossing.

The first thing I thought of when combining these 2 challenges was the diamond plate EF. I didn't have one yet, so I had to go pick one up at our local stamp store!

I started with a riding hood red card base (I'm so going to miss this colour when I run out!) and sponged the edges. The dp is from Memory Keepers Teen Angst. The 12x12 edges were black, so I cut it to fit & sponges the cut eges black. I covered a piece of cardstock with tin foil, and embossed with my new diamond plate EF, then attached this and added brads to the exposed corners.

The Hawg was so fun to colour, and don't you love his shocking green bike! You can't really tell, but I added sakura stardust pen to the pipes & handle bars. I popped this panel up.

The mailman brought me the new nestie Fancy Tags today, which were a surprise from my Husband, so I had to try and work one in. I cut out a black tag, squished it into my versamark pad, & added clear EP. What's great about this tag, the SU oval fits perfectly in the center. I stamped the sentiment in black & sponged the edge with silver.

You should come & play, the contest runs til Sunday, and you could win a $25. gift certificate to Totally Stampalicious! You don't have to use there stamps, but if you win, you could get some free!

Have a Great Day!
