4 Crafty Chicks' Challenge #5 and a Happy Birthday to Colour Q

Good morning! I hope the sun is shining in your neck of the woods - it has sure been nice to see here in ours...we have had such a rainy, cold summer here in central Alberta - we are welcoming these 20C temps with much happiness!

Today I am bringing you a wonderful creation I "whipped up" for 2 challenges:

* 4 Crafty Chicks is at it's 5th Challenge already, and since it's the last Thursday of the month, that means it's the "Crazy Egg" challenge and there is a wonderful prize being offered by our wonderful Leanne! The challenge this week is to use a "CHICK" (bird) somewhere on our creations.....

* it's ColourQ's first birthday! They are celebrating BIG TIME and this week they issued a double-whammy! We needed to use the sketch provided AND pick our fav color combo from the past year.....so here we go.....

...here's the color combo that really grabbed my eye:

and here's my card using a bird, the sketch, and the awesome color combo:

Stamps: Elements of Style, It's Your Birthday; Paper: Basic Black, Poppy Parade, Bashful Blue, Whisper White, Nursery Suite DP; Ink: Versafine Black, Basic Black, Poppy Parade; Accessories: clear blocks, nestabilities, vintage wallpaper and perfect dots embossing folders, dimensionals, markers, pearls

Be sure to check out the rest of the DT's blogs (on the right) for more "chicky" creations :) And also, if you have some free time, be sure to whip up a couple creations for both these awesome challenges! Take care and happy stamping!

I Won at Color Dare!

OMGOSH, I am so pumped! My good friend, Tamie, called me about 10 mins. ago and told me that I was the Featured Stamper over at Color Dare for THIS card!

Thank you ladies...it was a lot of fun using those colors and I can't wait to play more challenges with you!

The Secret is Out....Stampin' Royalty Guest Designer

Yep, I was keeping a secret! LOL...and today, I can tell you ALL the secret....I was chosen to be a Guest Designer for Stampin Royalty for this week's sketch challenge! When Sandra emailed me, I was crazy-silly with excitement - it was like a Hollywood celebrity was emailing me :) I accepted with great honor and the sketch they have this week is AMAZING!

I really like using the Northern Flurry embossing folder for quick, easy cards as it gives you that ready-made background. I embossed the church/tree scene and sponged the edges of my oval to give it a softer look....I hope you enjoy it!

Stamps: A Wish for Peace; Perfect Punches; Ink: Basic Black, Versafine Black; Paper: Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler, Basic Black; Accessories: Northern Flurry embossing folder, clear embossing powder, black brads, dimensionals, black and cherry markers, scallop circle punch, black satin ribbon, big shot, Oval scallop frame Bigz die, sponge dauber

Be sure to go on over to Stampin' Royalty and join in on this week's challenge. Don't forget to visit the rest of the DT for some extra-added inspiration! They are an amazing group of talented ladies and I thoroughly enjoy participating in their weekly challenges! Thanks again, Stampin Royalty, for letting me play among the QUEENS as Guest Designer this week! It was a lot of fun!!

A Couple Christmas Cards...

I thought I would show you a couple more I made today with my new set, Come to Bethlehem, from the new Idea Book & Catty...and some super fine glitter and sugar beads (2nd card)...

I started by stamping the image on Whisper White cardstock with Versafine Vintage Sepia....Then I cut out a piece of Sookwang adhesive sheet that was a bit larger than my stamped image. I peeled one side of the adhesive off and placed the image face down onto the sticky side. Using a craft knife, I carefully trimmed around the image and then peeled off the other protective paper, revealing the other sticky side. I placed it face down in a tray of Sugar Beads (the first card was done using transparent glitter) and moved it around to ensure that the image was fully covered. I matted the image on some Chocolate Chip cardstock and adhered it to my card base... and WALAAA! Instant beautiful!!!

Now, just so that all you SU Demo's know...I *did* try to use our adhesive sheets that are being sold in the Mini, and it {does} work, but the beads/glitter will rub off :( The Sookwang sticky paper is ULTRA STICKY so it does work better...

Thanks for stoppin' in tonight - be sure to hop on back in the morning - I have a secret I will share!!!! :)

I'm an Artist Pick for Hand Stamped Sentiments!!

I just wanted to throw out a huge "THANK YOU" to the wonderful ladies at Hand Stamped Sentiments for chosing THIS card for one of their top 3 Artists Picks for last week's sketch challenge! This particular sketch was a lot of fun to make a card for and I will definitely be playing along with more of their challenges - you should too!!! Can't wait to see you there!

Thanks again ladies!

Micro Bead M-A-G-I-C!!!

So...at our stamping club, we each take turns providing a card &/or card front for each of the members in the club. Loretta came up with a suuuuweeeeeeeet card today! This stamp is a Thomas Kinkade and we used Sookwang sticky paper on the front to adhere super tiny glass micro beads!!! I'm not sure if you can really "tell" in my photo, but maybe if you click on it and get a bigger view, you will see them....

OMGOSH! I have never mucked with micro beads and let me just tell ya - I was in AWE! I will definitely be getting some clear ones and doing some Christmas cards with the Wish for Peace set and maybe the Lovely as A Tree set....the possibilities are endless! And...instead of the Sookwang sticky paper, I'm gonna give our adhesive sheets a shot (from the Mini) and see if they work....Ha!!!

Thanks for stopping in and thank YOU, Loretta, for such an awesome demonstration! :)

A Saturday 3-in-1 Sympathy

Good afternoon! Are you having a good weekend so far? I am busy doing tons of laundry today so I figured I would sit in between loads and make a couple cards :) The sun *was* out in full force this morning, however, it looks as if he has gone for a nap or something. It's quite dreary and dull out again...oh well, good day for coffee, candles and STAMPS!!!

I am really enjoying the sketch challenges from The Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge blog and I decided I wanted to get some Sympathy cards done up in advance to sell at the store or to have on hand...you can never have too many of those.

Now, I know this stamp set that I am about to show you is not a SU set, but it is one of my favorite sets for Sympathy cards and I am *really* happy with how this one turned out, so I'm displaying it here.

I am also entering this card into Stampin' Royalty's challenge this week of "stitching." I faux stitched on this card, so I am hoping it will still qualify! The challenge over at Cute Card Thursday is to have a bird somewhere on your project - and that I have.


Stamps: Forever In Our Hearts (Verve); Paper: Whisper White, More Mustard, Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, More Mustard DP, Cherry Cobbler DP; Ink: Early Espresso; Accessories: nestabilities, dimensionals, paper piercer, pearls, espresso satin ribbon, perfect dots embossing folder, marker for faux stitching

Easy peesy, right?!? It's probably my NUMERO UNO fav technique...so on with my details....

I was blog surfin' looking for just the "perfect" color combo and I came across this absolutely {DELISH} combo over at Colour Q Challenge Blog and paired it up with a fun sketch from The Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge Blog....

I flipped the sketch to fit my image that I had stamped, and used the Perfect Dots embossing folder on the green layer, then the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder on the cherry layer (you might have to click on the photo to see it better).
