WOJ #94 - My Sketch

Happy Wednesday Friends....as you are reading this I will be getting geared up for my advertising presentation that is today!  Oh how I dislike presentations!!  But after it's done that means only 2 more finals exams to go!  YIPPY!!!  I hear Friday...it must be almost here!  LOL!

It's another Whiff of Joy Challenge day today!  Yay!  Our challenge this week is to use my sketch!  I had so much fun designing this sketch and hope you all enjoy it!  However, I also have some sad news to share.  This is going to be my last challenge with the WOJ Challenge DT.  I have decided to step down from the DT as I will be starting a new chapter in my life with my internship.  I definitely have enjoyed my time being on this DT with such fabulous and talented ladies....you all are amazing!  I hope to still have time to be able to play along with the challenges now and again!  :)

Now onto my card:

I have used the Winter Love Birds stamp for my card today!  It's hard to believe this is the first time that I inked this poor stamp up!  These two are so adorable!!!  Papers are from the Bo Bunny Midnight Frost collection...oh my goodness is this pad absolutely stunning..it was hard for me to layer the papers because I didn't want to cover up any of the beauty on any of the pages! lol!  I've used some felt snowflake ribbon for my accent and then punched a blue snowflake strip with my MS punch that I got from my fabulous friend :0)

 And here is my sketch!  I hope you all like it and play along with us for this challenge! :)

These cute birdies were colored with Copics and then I airbrushed the sky around them.  The branch was decked out with liquid applique that I sprinkled with glamour dust before I heat set it....it gave my snow such a beautiful sparkle.  Then I applied little dots of glue around my image and used my Polar White Flower Soft (which is currently 15% off over at SCACD!) to make it look like the birdies are snuggling together in the snow!  Image has been cut out with my SB Oval Nesties and the blue layer was sparklized with Star Dust Stickles and then that layer was popped up onto my Marianne Die.

Flower are from the fabulous Wild Orchid Crafts and consist of a curly wild rose, 15mm roses that were layered on padded silver snowflakes and then white stamens were added for an accent.

From this view I am hoping to share all the lovely dimension of this card.  Thank you again to the WOJ DT for being such a wonderful group of ladies...I am going to miss you all!

WOC #12 - Color Challenge

Welcome to the craziest week of the year for me!  This week is my final exams....5 exams to take and one presentation to do!  I'm ready to pull out my hair...LOL!!!  But by Friday afternoon I will be MUCH better!  This weekend I got away from studying for a little bit to go run some errands with my hubby...we pretty much got most of our Christmas Shopping done...which is good because I don't have time this week to fit that in, ha ha!  Last night we also got hit with a MAJOR snowstorm....we got over 14 inches of snow!  YUCK!!!  I really am much more of a tropical girl, than a midwest girl....the snow and cold don't do anything for me...especially when I have to drive in the icky weather...the roads are plated in ice and snow right now....should make for an interesting drive to school!

BUT...on a much better note....today is Wild Orchid Challenge Day!  Woo-hoo!!! This week we are challenging you to ONLY use PINK, WHITE and SILVER on your creations!  I absolutely had a ball with this challenge...if you follow my blog you know that PINK is my ultimate favorite color....my hubby is teasing me and telling everyone that when we build our house it will most likely have pink siding! ROFL!!!  Well maybe not that...but I can guarantee my craft room will be PINK!!!

 

I've used one of the newest stamps over at SCACD for my card today....this is Look Out Below by Elisabeth Bell for SCACD! She comes in the Winter Sampler Collection...and I have to tell you I absolutely LOVE this set!  The pink paper is from the Bo Bunny Doodles collection, which was matted with white cs and silver metallic cs.  The panel that this cutie is popped up on has been embossed with my Cuttlebug snowflake folder and then the panel was spritzed with Maya Road Iridescent Pearl Mist!  OMG do I LOVE the pearl-essence effect that this mist gives...it's definitely a must have!!!  The embossed panel is accented with 5mm Self Adhesive Pearls from Wild Orchid Crafts....love the range of colors they have available!  The bow was made with my fantastic Bow Easy...this seriously is an amazing product to have...I haven't made a bow without it since I bought mine almost 2 years ago!

Of course this cutie pie was colored with Copics and accented with a white gel pen.  The pom pom on her hat, bow on her hair, snowflakes on her mittens, boots, and scarf have been accented with Illuminate Smooch!  The tassels on the end of her scarf were made with some embroidery floss. Then to make it appear as if she is sledding down a hill I added some Liquid Applique to the bottom of her sled.

Flowers are from the fabulous Wild Orchid and consist of: a pink Gardenia which has been placed on top of a punched silver snowflake and then layered on to a NEW flat bloom (which WOC has just gotten into the store...you get a HUGE assortment in each collection), the 15mm roses have been layered onto of padded silver snowflakes (I totally am in love with these!!!!), and the arrangement was finished with 10mm roses and 5mm closed rosebuds.  Flowers have been accented with 3mm self adhesive pearls in pink.

I hope you've enjoyed this cutie!  Make sure you check back in a little bit because I will have my Make A Mess Monday post up for you....and you are NOT going to want to miss this one....we are talking a girl's best friend here!!! :)

Flower arrangement 2 consists of the same flowers and also a pink heart pearl pin.

Miss. Snowball was Copics and accented with a white gel pen. She was cut out with a nestie and then the edge was blinged up using my Viva Decor Glitter Liner in Hologram!

Again flowers are from WOC and arrangement consists of 35mm large wild rose, 20mm roses, 15mm roses, 10mm roses, 4mm closed rosebuds, stamens, and pearl stars.

Leave the Light On

Welcome to the

 Quixotic Paperie Elisabeth Bell SCACD Winter Window 

Spotlight Blog hop.

If you have come from the fabulous and ultra talented Elaine Hughes' Blog then you are hoping in the right direction. If not please hop over to Elaine's blog Quixotic Cards to start from the beginning of the hop.

I am so excited as I was asked to join the amazing Quixotic Paperie DT for an extra special blog hop for you today. We have all been playing with the lovely new Elisabeth Bell SCACD Winter Window Stamp and hope to give you lots of ideas for your Winter creations!

But the reason why this is an extra special blog hop is that it is an introduction to the new once a month Quixotic Paperie Challenge which this month is:

Christmas Is Coming

Make a Christmas card and/or gift and join in the challenge, you can see Quixotic Inspirations for all the details.

For my Quixotic Paperie Elisabeth Bell SCACD Winter Window called I Will Leave the Light On I decided to make a stair step card!

As soon as I saw this stamp I knew I had to have it and I wanted to make another "scene" card!  I used the "sister stamp" Day Dreaming, (which is the spring version of this stamp) in -->this post<-- where I made my first "scene" card!  The "siding" of the house was created using my Cuttlebug folder and TH Weathered Wood Distress Ink.  

This cutie has been colored with Copics and accented with a white gel pen. Icicles were glammed up with Diamond Glaze and then Star Dust Stickles.  Snow was made with Liquid Applique.  Metallic Rub On in Walnut was used on window shutters to add a soft subtle shimmer!  Diamond Glaze was added to the windows to make them appear real.  

 Fence was made with my MS punch and then Liquid Applique was added for the snow.

The tree has also been winterized with Liquid Applique and snow banks were glitzed with Star Dust Stickles.  I hope you've enjoyed my Winter Window Scene card!

Remember for UK/ EU customers this beautiful stamp is available at Quixotic Paperie and if you're in the US/Canada you can buy it direct from Susana's Custom Art and Card Design.

Your next stop is the fantastic Judy Laing.  Thanks very much for hoping by and enjoy the rest of the inspiration along the hop! Don't forget to join in the new challenge too...there is a fabulous prize up for grabs!

Off To Jollyland We Go!

Hello Sweet Friends!  I hope everyone is having a joyful Sunday!  I have a card to share with you all featuring the NEW Jollyland and Winter Sentiments sets from Stamps and Smiles!  These are both available for sale right now over at the store!  What's fun about these sets is that they are wintery and can be used way past Christmas.

I used the Jollyland Full Image for my card....what's neat is that you can buy either the full image or you can buy the set with all the pieces to create your own image.  I have used my Imaginisce Polar Expressions papers which also can be used past Christmas!  They are perfect for winter scene cards.  Image was cut out with QuicKutz Nesting Label, and edged with my Gold Marker Pen.  Sketch is #85 from Sketch Saturday which I flipped sideways!

The image has been colored with my Copics and Spicas.  I have added liquid applique to the trees for added 3D texture.  The ground snow was created with Snow-Tex and then sprinkled with Glamour Dust.  I love how the Snow Tex looks like real drifts of snow.

From this view you can see more of the sparkle and shimmer of the image.  I used Lavender and Orange Spicas on the lollipop spirals.  Turquoise Spica was used on the tiny snowman on lefts gloves.  Silver Spica was used on Mr. Snowman's hat.  Snickerdoodle Smooch was used on Mrs. Snowman's hat and bow tie.  Moonlight Smooch was used on the white stripes of the candy cane and the sticks of the lollipops.  Diamond Stickles added the bling to all the snowflakes.

Right now Jennifer has a great sale on the new digi images!  You can save 15%....click -->HERE<-- to head over to the store right now!  Happy Shopping!

A "Latte" New at Stamps and Smiles!

Hello Everyone!  Today and tomorrow, there are two NEW Digi sets being showcased over at Stamps and Smiles!!!  Today’s set is called Latte & Smiles. This NEW release will be available for purchase on Friday, January 8th at 8 pm CST. 

Want to win this NEW digi? Head on over to the Stamps and Smiles Blog for your chance to win!

Here are my sneak peeks of this first set!  I have created some Thank Yous with this set!  These are going to be my thank you for all the wonderful Christmas presents I got!  **MOM...if you are reading this pretend you didn't see this!!!! LOL!**

 Here you can see how you open the card.  It's not a typical card, because to find the sentiment you have to pull the whip topping out of the cup.

And next is my preview of the Hot Chocolate image!  Isn't this snowman cup cute?

 Here is a close up of the image that was colored with my Copics.

 

 I used my Twinkling H2O in icicles to add shimmer to Mr. Snowman.  Liquid Applique was added to the top of the cup and sprinkled with brown glitter to mimic whipped topping with cinnamon on!  Peppermint stick was colored with my Copics and then gone over top with my Clear Spica for some extra sparkle.

I hope you have enjoyed my sneak peeks!  Don't forget to go to the other DT Girl's blogs to see what they have made!

Sugar Challenge #25

Today I went to my parent's house where I crafted the day away with my Mom and Gram!  We had so much fun and I got VERY inky! :)  I made a card using the Sugar Bowl Sketch....a chance to win 12 sugars....that's like heaven!!!  The addition to the sketch was to use your FAVORITE color...I bet you can't guess what mine is?!?! 

Yep...........It's PINK!!!!

I'm cutting it VERY close to the deadline to get this cutie uploaded....so I will come back later and edit to give you all the details on the card along with a recipe!  :)

ETA:  I used Hug in a Mug for my card!  Papers are Making Memories - Sabrina Collection.  Of course I have colored Miss Sugar with my Copics.  I used my new deep edge MS lattice heart punch behind my image...I'm loving those deep edge punches!!!  Tulle and ribbon used for some added depth.

A close up of Miss Hug In A Mug:

I have added Star Dust Stickles to this girlie's earmuffs and the end of her scarf.  My Black and Silver Spicas were used on the hot cocoa mug for some added sparkle.  Crystal Stickles was added to the snowflakes along with pearl centers.

Here I have made a ribbon rose!  I can't find where I found the tutorial.  Darn ..... thought I had it bookmarked in my computer and do you think I can find it!  If I do find it I will post the link in here.  I love the look this adds especially with using that silver lined ribbon!

I really dislike taking pictures at night with my Ott Lite...I'd rather have the daylight....but this will work!
