Monster Hugs & 

M's Place Stamp Set

Isn't this the cutest monster you have ever seen?  Monster Hugs is one of my favorites from this newest adorable Susana Love Stamps set!   The sentiment used comes with this cutie pie too! Sentiment was glitzed up with my Sky Blue Spica.  Papers are from the Basic Grey Life of the Party Collection (which is 20% off now at SCACD).  Corner were made using the fabulous Classic Corners Dies by SCACD.

Monster Hugs was colored with Copices and pastels.

Copic Colors Used: Body: B00, B02, B04, B05, R20, Hair & Teddy Bear: E23, E25, E27, E29, Shoes: Y13, Y18, Y19, B00, B02.

For my second card I honored to introduce to you:

Little Lily 

 I've used the Echo Park This & That Graceful Collection (which is 10% off at SCACD) for this card.

Little Lily was colored with Copics.  Her arm bands, belt, hair ties and eyeshadow got a coat of Star Dust Stickles for all the giltz...this little rocker likes to shine and sparkle!  Her eyes also got a coat of diamond glaze for even more shine!  Don't you just love this little cutie pie?!

PEEKER FEVER...Take 2!

Happy Friday Friends!  I hope you all enjoyed the sneak peeks of the amazing Peeker 2 Collection this week...if you missed my post showcasing the fabulous Mama's Purse Peeker scroll down to the next post to go have a looksy!  Today is the BIG day...you are finally able to purchase these beauties, which you can find -->here<--!  The fabulous SCACD DT has some fabulous inspiration for you today as well....if you came here from Suzanne's Blog then you are cruising along correctly!  If not head to the SCACD Store Blog to get the run down on today festivities!  Now I am please to introduce you to one of the "missing Peekers!"

Meet the ultra cute

What's in the Box Peeker:

This is one of the two missing Peeker stamps that hadn't been revealed in the sneak peeks that were going on all week!  When I saw this stamp I totally fell in love.....I love how you can use this stamp for any occasion you are celebrating, whether it be a birthday (as I have used for my card), a confirmation, holiday/Christmas, the possibilities are endless!  Papers are from the My Mind's Eye Lost & Found Madison Avenue collection.  I absolutely adore this paper pad!

 What's in the Box Peeker was colored with Copics and cut out using the SB labels 14 die.  While the image was still in the die I airbrushed around the edges to give the image a softer look and that beautiful white crisp edge. The bow of the present has been accented with Illuminate Smooch and Fruit Punch Stickles (on the dots).  The bow of Miss. Peeker's dress and headband have been sparklized with Star Dust Stickles.

 The double bow was made using my handy dandy Bow Easy....I love how easy it is to make bows with this tool!  Mini flower arrangement was made with Wild Orchid Crafts flowers that consist of a 8mm semi-opened rose, 5mm closed rosebud, heart pin, and a small sequin butterfly.  The beautiful heart bauble was made using the fabulous and SUPER EASY Epiphany Crafts Heart Punch.  I took some of the stripped paper that I used on the card and hand made a matching accent...that is what I totally love about the Epiphany Crafts tools....you can customized embellies to match your project!

Finally the main flower arrangement was made using more WOC flowers that consist of Gardenias, 20mm Roses, 15mm Roses, Aster Daisies, 6mm closed rosebuds, Tea Rosebuds, Gypsophilas, and finished off with another small sequin butterfly.

Now make sure that you head off to the SCACD Store to order your very own Peeker 2 Collection!!!  For our over the pond friends, you can get your Peeker 2 Collection at Quixotic Paperie!  If you are looking for more inspiration head off to the talented Colleen's Blog!  I know she has something fantastic to share with you all today!

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!

TIOT #88 - Suzanne's Sketch

Hi Everyone~

Yes, it's Friday and I am finally posting my TIOT!  Sorry it's a day late...it's been a crazy school week!  Had an exam on Tuesday so I didn't get any crafty time this week.  This week over at the SCACD Blog Suzanne has challenged us to use a super fun sketch!

 Today I have used the super fun Little Sprite from the New Mini Little Acorns Collection by Victoria Case for SCACD.  Papers are from the Basic Grey Euphoria Collection.

Little Sprite was colored with Copics and accented with a white gel pen.  I've used the two different color technique that I also made on -->this little acorn card<--.  She's been popped up on top of a SB Labels 14 which was then popped up on top of a SB Labels 4.  The glitter around the edge of the Labels 14 has been created with my TonerTex pen and glitters, I've used the teal colored glitter.  I've also used the TonerTex Foils on the middle of the flowers of Sprite's dress.

 These gorgeous Epoxy Baubles were made using the Ephiphany Crafts Solid Round 14 Maker and Round 14 Bubble Caps. If you haven't read my post on the Ephiphany Crafts, click -->HERE<-- to go and see more info regarding them!  They truly are amazing products!

Flowers of course are from the fabulous Wild Orchid Crafts!  For my arrangment I have used a Gardenia, 20mm Roses, 15mm Roses, 10mm Roses, and 4mm Closed Rosebuds.

SCACD Little Acorn Sneak Peek

I'm SUPER pumped today because I get to share with you a preview from the DUAL MINI RELEASE from SCACD!  If you haven't read my previous posts.....I'll share the info again, we are having two mini releases--one from Elisabeth Bell and one from Victoria Case for SCACD!  Both of these mini sets will be released this Thursday (Sept. 30th) so mark your calendars because you don't want to miss this release....I'm telling you they are all a MUST have!!!!  And don't forget that Susana has some AMAZING Blog Candy at the store blog!  Click -->HERE<-- to go and enter!  So today I'm using one of the cute NEW Victoria Case images called "Little Acorn" from the Mini Little Acorn Set! 

She's so sweet with her cute little ladybug!  She's definitely a favorite from this new release....I absolutely love her!  Papers are from the NEW Basic Grey Pyrus Collection, boy do I love this stack!  Gorgeous colors!  Corners have been jazzed up with my Viva Decor Dark Brown Pearl Pen.

 

Little Acorn was colored with Copics and accented with a white gel pen.  Her little ladybug friend was decorated with my TonerTex pen and Red Foil.  Viva Decor Glitter Liner in Hologram was used on her hair ties for extra sparkle.  Stamped the swirly leaf frame and then used Metallic Rub On in Sky Blue to add a soft shimmer to the edges.  Love the sparkle and shimmer that the Metallic Rub On adds! 

As I promised last night, this card also showcases the Epiphany Crafts Flower 20 Button Maker!  I love how you can customize your buttons to match your project with these fun tools, and I think they are very reasonably priced, and SUPER EASY to use!  They truly punch like a dream.  If you have arthritis or problems with your hands and you are worried about punches being too tough for you, these certainly are NOT a concern at all!  You hardly use any pressure when punching.  I've also used my Bow Easy to create the beautiful bow. 

Flowers are from the fabulous Wild Orchid Crafts.  Arrangement consists of 35mm Large Wild Rose, 25mm Wild Roses, Aster Daisies, 15mm Rose, 8mm semi-open roses, 5mm closed rosebud.  All flowers started out white, I used my Copic ABS to get the exact colors to match my card.  Then flowers got a coat of Illuminate Smooch to jazz them up!

I hope you've enjoyed this sneak peek!  Wait until you see the rest of the collection at the SCACD DT's Blog Hop on Thursday, Sept. 30th....seriously all these stamps are gotta haves!!! :)  If you haven't already signed up for Susana's WONDERFUL NEW RELEASE CANDY, make sure you head over to the SCACD Store Blog HERE to sign up now, you only have until Wednesday to sign up!

Epiphany Crafts Spotlight

Do you remember -->this card<-- that I posted the other day for the WOJ Challenge.  Well tonight I would love to share a special tool that I used on that card.  Do you remember me talking about the Epiphany Crafts Button Makers?  These makers are absolutely amazing!

These gorgeous Epoxy Baubles were made using the Solid Round 14 Maker and Round 14 Bubble Caps.  These are SUPER easy to use!  It seriously took me 30 seconds to whip both of these baubles together!  All you do is select the design paper you want to use, slide that into your maker, place your clear bauble or clear button cap on top in the specified space in the maker, replace the button holder, close the cover and punch!  It's that EASY....and the magic of these makers is that you can make these baubles/buttons to match the theme/design of your project....like I used parts of my dp to make these matching baubles!

Here you can see a sample using the Flower 20 Button Maker and Flower 20 Button Caps.  And if these samples aren't enough, come back tomorrow for a Very Special Sneak Peek that uses the Flower 20 Button maker as well! :)


If you haven't ordered your Epiphany Crafts Makers yet....you really need to head over to SCACD and order yours tonight!  These are seriously a must have in my book!

*** Don't forget to sign up for the Amazing Blog Candy that Susana is offering over at the SCACD Store Blog!  You have the chance to win some AWESOME New Release Stamps!!!!  Susana is so generous!!!  You only have until Wednesday to sign up!***

WOJ #88 - A Special Thank You

Happy Wednesday~

Are you ready for another Whiff of Joy Challenge?  This week we are celebrating a very special milestone over at the WOJ Challenge Blog....it's our TWO YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!!!  And seeing how we wouldn't have a wonderful challenge blog without our Whiff of Joy stamps.....this challenge we are devoting to a Special Thank You Challenge!  We would love to thank Whiff of Joy, Katharina (owner of WOJ), Simon Says Stamp, present and past DT members, and most importantly you our followers and participants because without all of you we wouldn't have this fun challenge blog! 

I've used one of my favorite WOJ stamps, Willow with Hot Chocolate.  Papers are from the TH Vintage Shabby Collection.  Sentiment is from MFT.  I also got to use my new Magnolia Doohicky Dies on this beauty!

Willow was colored with Copics and accented with a white gel pen.  She was cut out with a SB Labels 14 and then the background has been airbrushed with B000, B01, W1, W3, and W5.  The label was then popped up onto my Marianne Frame Die. 

Flowers are all from Wild Orchid Crafts.  Arrangement 1 consists of a 25mm Rose, Cherry Blossoms, 15mm rose, and pink crystal stems.  Flowers were accented with Star Dust Stickles.

Arrangement 2 consists of 4mm closed rosebuds, 5mm closed rosebud, Gypsophila Stem, pearl sprays, pearl stars.  The bow was made with my Bow Easy, I just love the double sided ribbon.

Here is an angled view of Willow.  Here you can see the Star Dust Stickles that I have used on her shirt, pocket, and flowers on her jeans.  You also can see the Diamond Glaze that I added over her mug to make it appear more real.

TIOT 84 - Anything But a Square

Happy Weekend!

I hope you are having some fun this weekend!  WOW another week of school has gone by!  This semester sure is flying by....must be because I am really enjoying my classes!  However, with a busy week full of homework means not a lot of crafty time. :(  I did finally get my TIO*T* card done for this week! YAY!  Suzanne has challenged us to create a card that is ANYTHING BUT A SQUARE!  Oh I love making fun shaped easel cards!!!  So I grabbed my SB Labels 11 and went to work!

The cutie on this card is one of the new Animapeeps from the newest Elisabeth Bell for SCACD collection....her name is Just Ducky.  Speaking on NEW....I have a bunch of NEW goodies on this card!  The wonderful papers are from the Cosmo Cricket Mitten Weather collection.  These papers are so beautiful....there are gorgeous holiday papers in here as well as papers that can be used for any occasion, like those that I've used on this card.  And my FAVORITE new tool  that I have used on this card is the Epiphany Crafts flower button maker!  See those oh so cute flower buttons....I made them myself with the papers from the Mitten Weather Cosmo Cricket collection!  I love how easy it was to make buttons that matched my project perfectly!  These makers are a dream to use, SUPER easy, and MEGA fun!  I think it took me less than 2 minutes to make both customized buttons!  You seriously need to get one of these!  I can't wait to use my solid round one now! :) 

Isn't Just Ducky so adorable?  She seriously is a dream to color!  I've colored her with Copics and and then accented her with my TonerTex Pen and have used Diamond Glaze on her eyes.  I've used the TonerTex pen and Glitters on her hair bow and boots.  Then this sweetie's umbrella was accented using the TonerTex pen and Foils.  Love the holographic foils, they are so gorgeous!  Here you can see a close up of the Epiphany button too!

The bottom of the card holds a sentiment so this card can be used for any occasion, and again showcases the Epiphany button!

Finally, a side view to share the dimension and shine with you.  The umbrella has been double popped up so that it sits higher than Just Ducky.  I hope you have enjoyed my Anything But a Square card, make sure you head over to the SCACD Blog to see what my DT Sisters have made!  I hope you come back soon, as I have some more goodies to share with you soon!
