Queen Annes Lace & Life is better in Flip Flops

Hello Everyone!
I'd like to share my latest Imagine That Digistamp designs:

"With heartfelt sympathy"

I printed this image/sentiment on Xpress-it paper and colored it with Copic Markers. I chose a peachy/orange card base, added a background that I created using Tim Holtz Oxide Inks and then matted the colored image with black card stock and added it to the front of the card.

Here are the Imagine That Digistamp sets I used:

    Queen Annes Lace                         Sentimental Thoughts

"Life is better in Flip-Flops"

I printed these colored images/sentiments on white card stock and fussy cut them (except for the sentiment, I used a corner punch to fancy it up).  I chose a blue-green card base, added beach designed paper and assembled.

Here are the digistamp sets I used:

Flamingo Beach (sentiment)        Beach Floaty Girl (flip-flops)

Sunny Days (Sun)                                  Beach Girl Framed (Shell)

I started by stamping the images/sentiments on Xpress-it paper, coloring them with Copic Markers and then fussy cutting them.  I chose an orange card base and a purple accent strip of card stock paper.  First, I added the bat patterned paper, the strip of paper made with Tim Holtz Oxide inks on the purple card stock and the top note die cut (from Stampin' Up's top note die).  Next, I added the colored images to the orange base and the purple strip before assembling them together.

Here are the two stamp sets I used:

Happy Harvest                          Happy Owl-oween

     

  (NOTE: if you'd like to get either/both of these, just click on the name above the stamp set image)

*Score on dashed lines & nest the two pieces together before taping.

KKS Krafty Skrappy Challenge: Anything but a card

Hello!

I'd like to share with you my creation for the "Krafty Scrappy Challenge: Anything but a card" over at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps...

Here's my gift bag:

(front view)

(top/side view)

(close up view)

I started by stamping the image/sentiment on Xpress-it paper with Memento Ink and colored it with Copic Markers.  I matted the colored image on a background I created with Tim Holtz Oxide Inks on watercolor paper.  And then attached it to a gift bag I made using two 12x12 sheets of red card stock.

Here are the instructions on how to make the gift bag:

On both sheets, put the following score lines:

2 inches from the top

3 inches from each side

3 inches from the bottom

On the first sheet, make a cut on the score line 3 inches from the edge of each side to the side score lines. On the second sheet, cut the small 3x3 squares created by the score lines on the side and bottom of the page and remove them.

Here is a sketch to help:

Now to assemble:  fold the top score lines back so that there will be a flap on the outside of the bag, fold all other score lines towards what will be the inside of the bag.  Overlap the bottom and side flaps and adhere with a heavy duty tape/glue.  Last step is to hole punch two holes on each side of the bag and then cut two strips of ribbon.  Insert each end of the first ribbon in the holes on one side and tie a knot in them to make sure they will not come back through the hole.  Repeat for the other side.  Your gift bag is complete :)

Here is the stamp set I used:

Pamper Me Paulina!

Oooohhhh..... 

Did you know there's a Krafty Komeback at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps?  It's totally awesome... The amazing artist, Annie Rodrigue has revamped this fabulously spooky image and Kraftin' Kimmie changed up some sentiments, so even if you have the original from years ago, you'll want to grab the new one!

It's WITCHYPOO!

I started this one by stamping the image/sentiment on Xpress-it paper with Momento ink and colored her with Copic Markers.  I chose a black card base, added a background created with Tim Holtz Oxide Ink and placed Witchypoo on top of the background.  Lastly, I added a few bats with Nuvo drops as their eyes.

YES!! It's Witchypoo too!!!!

I stamped the image/sentiment again on Xpress-it paper with Momento Ink, colored her with Copic Markers and fussy cut Witchypoo out.  I chose another black card base, added a background created with Tim Holtz Oxide Inks and then matted the sentiment with black card stock.  Once I assembled it all together, I added some stars to bling it up.

You know this set is so AWESOME, I just had to color it up twice :)

Here's the full set:

Manatee Sports - Imagine That Digistamp

Hello Everyone!

Imagine That Digistamp has some new manatee sports images: Basketball, Soccer & Tennis, I have made some cards using each of these new digistamp sets.  I can't wait for you to see them so let's get started :)

Score!

I printed the image/sentiment on Xpress-it paper & colored it with Copic Markers.  I chose a blue card base, added green patterned paper and mounted the colored image on a paper I created using glitter paste.  Lastly, I added a few stars to bling it up a bit.

Here is the digistamp set I used:

Manatee Basketball

Next we have: Goal!

I printed the image/sentiment (Goal!) on Xpress-it paper and colored it with Copic Markers.  I chose an orange card base, added patterned paper from the 6x6 Perfectly Plaid paper pack by Lawn Fawn and then used my black copic marker to trace along the edge of the colored image to give it a little framed look.  Once assembled, I added a sentiment from Stampin' Up matted with black card stock.

Here's the digistamp set I used:

Manatee Soccer

(you can give the manatee whatever soccer # you'd like as the image has no # however you get a set of numbers to use, that way your little manatee can have the same number as your little soccer player... so cool!  I just love to personalize)

Last one:  Tennis

(front of card when closed)

(front of card when opened)

(side view of card when opened)

   

I printed the image/sentiment on Xpress-it paper and colored it with Copic Markers.  I chose a brown card base for this 3D card.  For the top of the card I created a patterned paper with Oxide inks and hand wrote "So Proud of You" on it and then matted it with white card stock.  Then I assembled the card.

Here is the digistamp set I used:

Manatee Tennis
