Another pretty card and Blog candy announcement!

Hello my friends!

Before I get onto today’s post, I have a blog candy announcement

There is also going to be a top note die pillow cushion (your choice of fabric). I’ve decided to extend this offering of blog candy until Jan 31. I will make the drawing in the afternoon and post the winner to the blog.

Please remember, you may leave a comment any where on my blog and if you link my candy to your blog you get 5 additional votes. So keep up those great and much appreciated comments.

For the card;

You will need

card stock that measures 5 1/2 X 4 1/4″ folded in pink
Nestabilities new medallion die
Nestabilities circle and scallop circle dies
patterned paper, patience and some contrasting colors.
**
I used copics to color the image (whipper snapper designs) and embellished with glitter and sponged ink. It was really hard to resist the urge to put little google eyes on the image. I think she is adorable as is!

Stamp Happy and have a great night!

Blog Candy continues

Hi my fellow crafty people and blog followers!

Happy Tuesday! I know it was a nice long weekend and I was a bit lonely today with Mike off at work. I was busy though. I remade the card from earlier this week and decided that the girl and waggon image was too sweet to just have it on the card, so I recreated that part of the card on the altered Coaster. Both are gifts for a birthday club I belong to on Splitcoast stampers.
***
The images are from Whippersnapper designs and the paper is actually a few scraps I had left from another project.

Sorry I haven’t gotten to the video. Trust me its the road to heck is filled with good intentions. It has been a busy day. I had lunch with my step daughter and went shopping at our Joanne’s store. They had some of the nestabilities dies and I used my coupon to buy two of the beautiful new medallion ones they are now carrying.

Have a great day and Stamp Happy!

Happy Birthday to my friend!

Hello to all of you, my crafty and beautiful friends!

Today it is so cold and dreary in Maryland there isn’t much to do except clean up the house and stamp. I stamped all of my new Whipper Snapper design stamps for a friend. She is celebrating her birthday this week and I am working on getting a package together for her.

The image is stamped with memento tuxedo black ink onto Hammermill 100 pound 100 brightness paper. I wish you could feel the paper, it is as smooth as a baby bottom. I used both my copic markers and water color pencils to color the image.

My husband and I will celebrate our 9th Anniversary this Wednesday. We plan to eat out at Pasta Plus restaurant. It has been voted the best Italian Restaurant in the Washington, DC area over the past four years. The service and food are certainly some of the best I’ve ever enjoyed.

All of the puppies are snuggled in tight in their beds and in front of my space heater.

Are you guys ready for that video yet? We may all have to wait, husband is now watching foot ball on the tiny TV that we keep in the basement. I didn’t even know it still worked, I haven’t watched TV down here in forever.

Stay safe, dry and warm, and as always, Stamp Happy!

A couple of cards will go to the publisher

Hi stampers!

***

I hope that you all have had a wonderful Saturday and are looking forward to down time, crafting and stamping!

Both of these cards are going to be submitted to Just Cards magazine. The Hedige is from Penny Black and the mouse with the candy is a Whipper Snapper image. The one shown closes to the bottom measures 6″ square finished. I used dew drops, and glitter to accent the image. In this picture the glitter is still very wet.

***

I am going to shoot the video tomorrow so I look forward to the next project. Its another box video decorated and ready to go.

Thanks for visiting my blog. Have a great remainder of your long weekend! Stamp Happy!
