TSMonday, Teapot, Sketch!

Hello, sorry I've been absent for a few days! I took some time off to do some much needed house cleaning, which didn't really get done because I've kinda been feeling a bit under the weather! So this is a catch up card, combining 3 challenges! This weeks Totally Stampalicious Monday challenge is to make a card for your BFF! I used Stampalicious Scarlette because I'm going to send this to a fellow stamper. This weeks Teapot Tuesday Challenge MMTPT139, is to bring ribbon! The destination Station is a fellow Stamper Ashley, who lost all her stamping supplies in a flood...can you imagine! What a nightmare! I used the colours in the Teapot photo for inspiration! And lastly, this weeks sketch challenge SC326! I coloured Scarlette with copics, and made the dots on her dress with my new white Sharpie-fine tip poster paint, finally a white pen that works! The card base is pretty in pink, with a layer of white embossed with the sizzix floral vine and the edge is punched with a MS punch. The next panel is embossed with the swiss dots. I popped the main image up and finished it off with some satin ribbon and 2 glimmer brads! Have a Great Day! Laurie

Speedy's Challenge #47, 3-3-1 round!

Hi, you can find the Riley and Company Blog Hop Here!

I made this card for the Speedy's The Cat's Friends Challenge #47! We were to use 3 pastels, 3 embellishments, 1 image on a round card!

I used the bunny from 'In the Forest' set. He was stamped onto white with Tim Holtz vintage photo.

The card base is bashful blue, with a layer of so saffron and then the main image. I curved the sentiment from the same set and stamped in on the top.

The flowers were made with a marvy punch and the leaves from the 2-step bird punch. I finished it off with some rhinestones in the center of the flowers!

Have a Great Day!

Riley March Blog Hop!

Hello, and welcome to the Riley and Company Blog Hop! Leave a comment on each blog along the hop for your chance to win some rubber! All stamps are available now at Riley and Company!

This is the new Tooth Fairy Riley! Isn't he/she adorable! I know the kids in my life are always anxious to loose a tooth so they can leave it for the tooth fairy, so I made a little box with the matchbox die!

Riley is coloured with copics, and I added some glitter & gold! The tooth is covered in crystal effects. I went to my local Scrapbooking store today to get a tooth brad, but they were all gone so instead I used a tooth punch. The tooth is 2 layers glued together, covered in crystal effects & popped up!

Below is the new Policemoose Riley! Who doesn't love a moose in uniform! lol My first thought was to colour him the colours of our local police, but instead I went with the colours of the dp. I bought this a long time ago, but I knew it would come in handy one day!

And lastly, the New Parents Riley & Sophie! Ahhh they are so cute! I don't use purple tones very often, so I decided to give that a try! I think this card design is called a tent topper card! Super easy. The base is 8.5 x 4.25" scored in half so you have a 4.25" square. Then add the topper making sure it doesn't go over the 5.5" mark, then it fits in a regular envelope!

Okay you should have arrived here from Cathy's, and now you will be hopping onto Silke's! Don't forget to leave some love along the way for your chance to win some awesome rubber!

Riley Sneak Peek Day #4, Shhhh.....

Hello, here's another peek to tide you over and entice you to come to the Riley and Company Release and Blog Hop tonight at 10pm est!

This is the new Moose in the Moon Riley! I decided to try something different, so I made a door hanger for a babies room! What a cute way to let everyone know baby is sleeping!

Riley was coloured with copics. Cut out and matted with a lacey circle.

For the background I tried a new technique to make it look like a quilt. It's really easy, first I cut a piece of white (cheap) cardstock slightly bigger than the mega curved rectangle nestie I wanted to use. I used 2 different DP's and cut 1" square pieces. Then I used a glue stick to stick them down. Then I ran it through the big shot with the mega rectangle die to cut it out!

The barely banana mat behind was made by taking the same mega rectangle die, I taped it to the cardstock in 2 places so it wouldn't move, and used my craft knife to cut around the outside!

The main image is popped up. The stars are sponged and I went around the edge with a gold copic atyou spica, and popped them up too!

The ribbon is sandwiched between the quilted part & the back so it looks neat on the back!

I look forward to seeing you tonigh at the Blog Hop, it starts at 10pm est. If you comment on the Design Team members blogs, you have a chance to win a Riley! All the New stamps will be available tonight as well!

Have a Great Day!

I coloured Riley with copics and added some gold with a copic atyou spica to his earring and a few spots on the guitar! Then I sponged the edges with Tim Holtz antique linen and went around the edge with some gold from the encore pad.

The words are also new this month. I cut then apart and sponged the edges the same as the main image.

The card base is black, with a layer of vanilla that I spritz with gold shimmer. The dp is from DCWV rock queen. The main image and the sentiment are popped up!
