After I made this card I realized I should have used three different patterned paper but it's all glued down so I'll just have to live with it! We're having fun again over at the StampInsanity blog and this time we have a sketch challenge along with instructions to use things in threes. On my card I have three glittered Skittles, three stripes of DP, and TONS of distressing! Come join us and play along this week!

Uh oh, I just noticed that I forgot to color his eyes! Well, they will be blue so just imagine that :-).

All the DP is from MME La Paperie collection, the glittered skittles are from Pezadoodle.com, and the cardstock is Bazzill. I colored the image with Copics.

Be sure to visit the rest of the DT to see their fabulous creations!

Stamp Insanity Birthday!

I'm very proud to a guest designer for Stamp Insanity Stamps this month. It also happens to be the 1st birthday for Stamp Insanity! This is a new image created especially to celebrate the birthday and I think it's great! Also to celebrate there is a SALE going on. From September 2nd through September 8th at midnight, everything is a whopping 50% off!! You just use code BDAY2010 to get your discount - you don't want to miss this sale. Head over to the SI store HERE to do some shopping.

I colored the image with Copics. The DP is MME La Paperie and the cardstock is Bazzill and I coated the edges with black Stickles. Pink rhinestones are from KaiserCraft and I made the flower with blossom Nestabilities and a pearl brad from Hobby House. The top of her dress got a coating of Martha Stewart tourmaline glitter.

What's a birthday without cake, right?!

I made this "cake" using three graduated boxes and trim I cut using a Stampin' Up! border punch. The sentiment is a new one created for the birthday celebration. The image on top is the same as the one on my card, I just sized it way down so it would fit on the top of the cake (wasn't much fun to color that small!). The trim is Papertrey Ink's Sweet Blush and the boxes were created using the Back to Basics template.

Here's a close-up of the cake topper.

Aqua Snowman

I created this card using a digi stamp from Prairie Fairy Designs which can be found HERE. I'm entering it in their Fairy Fun Fridays challenge this week which calls for pearls and lace. Can you spot my pearls? I colored them with my Copic to match his hat and put them on him for buttons! You can find the challenge HERE. They're also having a blog hop this week and you can find the beginning of the hop HERE. Phew! That's a lot of links.

The DP is digi paper from Etsy and can be found HERE. The pearls are KaiserCraft and I used polar white Flower Soft for the pom pon on his hat. The snow under him received a coating of Sparkly Fluff. I colored everthing with my Copics, of course. The snowflake is a Martha Stewart punch and the lace is from my stash. It has flowers in the lace but I thought they looked like snowflakes, too.

Frosty the Snowman

Isn't this snowman just too cute?! He's a little retro and I think he looks like Frosty the Snowman. I found sheet music to Frosty the Snowman on the Internet, printed it out, crinkled it up, smudged some blue ink on the edges and glued it onto my card.

The image is from Stampin' Up! and I colored it with Copics, what there was to color. It's hard to see but there's some white glitter on the ground to look like snow. The DP is digital paper.

Santa!

I think this is just a beautiful Santa. I can't remember who makes the stamp but I use it every Christmas even though it's pretty big and it's difficult to fit any embellishments around it.

I colored the image with Copics, matted it with Bazzill CS, and used digital DP. The rhinestones are from KaiserCraft. I used a silver Spica pen on the bell and Sparkly Fluff on the white part of his hat. That's it; pretty simple.

Copic colors:
Beard - C2
Hat and berries - R27, R24, R22
Holly leaves - G99, G94, G82
Face - E11, E00, E000, R20

Whiff of Joy Christmas

I got this stamp last year from Whiff of Joy and although I love it, it is problematic because it's so big. I usually make cards that are 5.5 x 4.25 or 5.5 x 5.5. To accommodate the large image I had to make a card that measures 9 x 4 which will fit in a business size envelope. Please note that the actual image only has one reindeer pulling her sled but I like to stamp the image twice, cut out just the reindeer, and pop it up on 3D dots so there are two reindeer.

I colored the image with Copics. The DP is K&Co and the cardstock is Bazzill. The snowflakes are Martha Stewart punches and I covered them with pink flocking. The charm is a sled from my stash. I covered the top edge of the sled in white glitter.

Copic colors:

Hat, coat, sled, and boots - R85, R83, R81

Scarf, mittens, skirt, and seat - G99, G94, G82

Shadow - C2

Hair - E35

Skin - E11, E00, E000, R20

Sorry, I didn't write down the colors I used on the reindeer
