Beyond the Sea

Hi Everyone! Melissa here with another project made with one of the newest stamp sets Mermaids.  For today's card I stamped one of the mermaids and used two of the sentiments included in the stamp set.  I thought it would be fun to color her with bright pink hair. (I should not encourage this as my teen daughter would love to have pink hair.)
The image is colored with Spectrum Noir markers and a white gel pen for hi-lights. If you are just starting coloring like me, these are nice markers and a fraction of the cost of Copics. They are also packaged in color families which is very helpful.
Hair- PL1, BP2, BP6
Skin- FS3, TN2
Rock- GB8, GB10, EB8
Fin and top- BT1, BT2, BT4, BT5

Have a great weekend!

How tweet of you ...

Good morning. Ruza here to share a Clean & Simple (CAS) card with you today.


As I was going thru my stamps I noticed this adorable potted plant in the For Peeps Sake, and just had to make a card for the Clean & Simple Sketch #254. After coloring the potted plant with my Copic Markers, I cut out the circles, distressed the edges, and layered it on my design. I pulled out the sentiment from the Rare Bird stamp set, and added some gems to the edges.

The For Peeps Sake stamp set has so many different images that can be used year round. I hope today's project inspires you to head on over to the store to check out all of the amazing stamps that we have to offer.

Until next time ... Enjoy!

One Cool Hombre Dip.

Happy Monday! Barb here from BugBites with another project using the Stamp Annie Thing stamps. 
I have been on a role with recipe pages for my cookbooks and the One Cool Hombre stamp set was perfect for my Taco Dip recipe. 

I used several stamps from this set. 
First I stamped the buildings onto burlap paper at the bottom of my page. 
Then I stamped the cactus, colored it with my copics and hand cut around it. 
Next I stamped the Lil Hombre, colored and cut him out. The final touches were the bowl of dip and taco on the recipe card itself. All of these stamps are in this one set of stamps!

I'll see ya back here next Monday with another project!

Ms Mermaid

Hello Everyone! Melissa here sharing a sweet card made with Stamp Annie Thing's newest set Mermaids. She is so fun to color.  I colored her with my Copic markers and even experimented by coloring an under the sea  background.

Teacher's Gift ...

Good morning. Ruza here to share a Teacher Gift idea ...


I created my own DP using the Rose from the Party in the USA stamp set, and coloring them with my Copic Markers. The "Thank You" sentiment is part of the One Cool Cat stamp set.

Here are several more photo's showing the Gift opened up ...



I did not design this Post-it-Note Holder myself, I saw this awesome Tutorial last week over on the MFT Blog, and just had to try my hand at it. Since I am in the process of making Teacher Gifts for an upcoming Craft Fair that benefits the Special Needs Students in my community I thought this would be an awesome addition to the products I'll be offering.

I hope today's project inspires you to head on over to store to check out all of the amazing stamps that we have to offer.

Until next time ... Enjoy!

Donuts from Lulu.

Hey ya'll, it's Monday and that means it's DT day for me, Barb from BugBites.
I was crafting with friends all weekend and did a few projects using my Stamp Annie Thing stamps.

For this weeks project I scrapped a recipe for donuts that belonged to my husbands grandmother. I first discovered these donuts at her house when we were dating. Oh, how I miss them but at least I have the recipe.
I called upon Lulu from the Lulu's Valentines Day stamp set to do my recipe page. I like how she looks like she is  writing down the recipe.

Check out my blog for all the details. Have a wonderful week.

Garden Tag

Good Morning! Melissa here with a tag made with the Here's the Dirt stamp set.  The main image on this set is just adorable.   To accent the gardening girl, I stamped images from the Here's the Dirt set to create a coordinating background.  I colored her with Spectrum Noir markers and added some ribbon and a button.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Have a Happy Birthday ...

Good morning. Ruza here to share another Clean & Simple (CAS) card with you this week.

Size: 3-1/2" x 5"

When I saw the Clean & Simple Sketch #253 over the weekend, I knew it was perfect for a sweet Birthday card. So I pulled out the FUN Wish Big stamp set to create my card. I tend to cut my photopolymer stamps to use only a portion of the stamps when the desire hits, and that is what I did for this card. The small present is part of the Wish Big sentiment stamp in the set, and since I wanted to use both present images I cut the sentiment out. It fit perfectly back together when I was done. I also separated the sentiment so I could place it on 2-lines.

The images were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, and colored with my Copic Markers. Once I layered the pieces onto my card base I used a White Gelly Roll Pen to add white dots to the big presents and to the ribbon on the small presents, placed the sentiment in the corner, and then I added tiny gemstone to the bow.

The Wish Big stamp set has so many images and sentiments that are perfect for creating CAS cards. I hope today's project inspires you to head on over to store to check out all of the amazing stamps that we have to offer.

Until next time ... Enjoy!

Pink Thank You

Welcome to Monday and a Stamp Annie Thing project post from me, Barb of BugBites.

I needed a quick and simple Thank You card so I turned to a couple of my Stamp Annie Thing Stamps, Party in the USA and One Cool Cat to get the job done.
I used the rose flower design three times, colored it with a simple pink and green marker, nothing fancy. I then added them in a single row down the side of my card.
This design can be made by mixing and matching many of the images on all the Stamp Annie Thing stamp sets and this is what makes these stamps so great to have in your collection.

You'll find all the details for this card on my blog, BugBites.

See you next week for another fun project.

Three Birthday Wishes

Good morning! Melissa here with three cards I made with one of the newest stamps in the Stamp Annie Thing collection, Wish Big.  This is such a fun set that has 4 main images and coordinating sentiments.




The images are colored with Copic Markers and the edges are inked with Distress Ink.  The card shape is from SVG Cutting Files, Note Cards. The layers on this file are perfect for stamping. These would be really cute card set to give to a friend for a gift.  I guess I will have to make more.. these are mine :)

Good morning. Ruza here to share a Clean & Simple (CAS) card with you today.

Size: 3-1/2" x 5"

I pulled out the lovely Rare Bird stamp set for today's card. After stamping the birdhouse on Neenah Solar White cardstock, I colored the image with my Copic Markers, and then cut it out to paper-piece on the actual card. The sentiment in the set is perfect for thank you cards, and I know with school starting in 2-weeks I will be needing many of these. After adding the sentiment, I used a 0.3 Black Copic Multi-Liner and ruler to add the faux stitching around the card, and then stamped the birdhouse on the envelope.

This is one card that I plan on reproducing using different cardstock for the background.

The Rare Bird stamp set has so many images and sentiments that are perfect for creating CAS cards. I hope today's project inspires you to head on over to store to check out all of the amazing stamps that we have to offer.

Until next time ... Enjoy!

Wish Big!

Happy Monday. Barb from BugBites here today with a little project using the recently released stamp set, Wish Big.

I always seem to be searching for a little card to go with those gifts you give in a gift bag. Well, the Wish Big stamp set worked perfectly for my mini gift cards today. I did four of them so I have a few on hand. 

Each card measures 3"x3". I cut scalloped medallions at 2.5" for the stamped image. Did a little coloring and embellishing with my black marker and I was on my way to the party. 

Give this little stamp set a good look for all those Birthday card needs. Check it out here.

Admit One for FUN

Hello- Melissa here with a card to share with you today.  I found this adorable paper from Momenta called "Family Outings" and knew this sweetie from Fun Starts Here would be right at home.  She is colored with Spectrum Noir Markers.  Such a happy image...


The ticket was made by stamping one of the sentiments from the stamp set on a punched ticket shape.  Markers where used to color the edge of the ticket.

Thank you for stopping by today!
