Little Miss Muffet - Sunday Spotlight

Good morning!  Happy (very early) Sunday to you!  Hope you've had a great weekend so far!  I plan to be sleeping when you see this and I will be if Mr. Blogger does his thing.  I am here to share the card I made for this week's Sunday Spotlight on the Little Miss Muffet blog.  Barbara has chosen the adorable Pluto as this week's spotlighted stamp.  He is available in the new store at a discounted price today, so hurry over and pop him in your cart before it's too late!

Here is my card with Pluto:

I used him to make another Christmas card for my stash, but he would be perfect for any gift-giving occasion.  My card base and mats are SU Garden Green and the shiny patterned papers are from the Kaisercraft Silly Season Collection.   I colored Pluto with my Copics.  I didn't give him very traditional parrot colors, now did I? A bit of artistic license, I say! A double-loop striped ribbon bow and a sparkly silver dimensional sticker from my stash finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Little Miss Muffet blog for more inspiration from the DT with this fun stamp!  You still have until Tuesday, July 30 at 11:55 PM CDT to enter our Nursery Rhymes challenge.  All the details are in the challenge post and on the blog sidebar.

Have a wonderful day and see you soon!

Hear The Angel Voices

Hi again!  OK, don't faint, but I am actually back with a second post today!  Working on cards has been a nice distraction for me this week, so I managed to finish up another card before the weekend. It's for a few challenges I enjoy doing, but I don't always get my act together and complete them before the deadlines.  This time I did!

Here is another Christmas card:

My card base and mats are SU Pool Party and the patterned papers are again from the My Mind's Eye All Is Bright 6x6 pad.  The precious image is The Littlest Angel from the Elisabeth Bell Digital Collection.  I printed it on MiC Blending Card and colored it with my Copics.  I added lots of pearl accents with my Viva Decor Ice White Pearl Pen.  I also added Golden Rod Stickles to the stars and the flame in the lamppost and Star Dust Stickles to the wings.  There is a little Glossy Accents on the lantern and on the holly berries.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  I used both a punch (Martha Stewart Modern Garland Edge Punch) and dies (Spellbinders Scallop and Classic Circle dies).  A sparkly 3-D poinsettia sticker finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:

Thanks for stopping by!  Hope you have a great weekend!

Alcohol Marker Challenge - The Outlawz

Good morning!  Happy Friday!  Hope you've had a good week and you've got some fun plans for the weekend!  It has finally stopped raining here, at least for awhile.  It didn't rain at all yesterday and the sun is shining this morning!  I was beginning to think we would need a boat to get around!  Anyway, before I get on with my day, I am here to post my DT card for this week's Alcohol Marker Challenge at The Outlawz site.  Given that it is the last Friday of the month, our theme is the ever popular, "anything goes" and as always, we offer the Christmas twist to those who would like to add a Christmas card to their stash.  It's completely optional to do so.  The only requirement is that you have coloring with alcohol markers (any brand) on your project.

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Baja Breeze and the patterned papers, top and bottom, are from the My Mind's Eye All Is Bright 6x6 pad.  My adorable image is Three Little Angels from Lili of The Valley.  It was one of the wonderful goodies in the fabulous blog candy I won from my DT sister, Tress.  Isn't it precious?  I stamped it on MiC Blending Card with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored it with my Copics.  I added Star Dust Stickles to the clouds, Golden Rod Stickles to the star garlands in their hair and Diamond Stickles to their little wings.  Some wide lace and three Imaginisce chipboard alpha stickers, spelling out JOY, finished my card.  Another flat design for easy mailing!

Here is a close-up of the image:

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Alcohol Markers Challenge and check out the gorgeous creations from the rest of the DT!  We hope you will be inspired to play along!  It's your last chance to get in on the draw for a terrific prize from our July sponsor, Bombshell Stamps.  There are also lots of  fantastic site-wide prizes up for grabs when you enter the challenges at The Outlawz!

I am entering my card in the following challenges:

Glamour and Glitz

Hi there!  Happy Wednesday!  How has your week been so far?  Good, I hope.  It's been raining cats and dogs here all week!  Between that and the thunderstorms, it was so dark yesterday that the streetlights came on in the daytime!  It's rumbling again out there, so I am going to try to get this posted before the storm gets too close.  I have a card to share with you that I made for a few challenges I like doing when I can.

Here it is:

My card base is GKD Heavy Base Weight White and the mats are SU Lavender Lace.  I created the embossed layer with a Cuttlebug Window Panes embossing folder to which I added some Basic Grey Bling It diamond gems. The patterned paper is from the Prima Meadow Lark 6x6 pad.  My glamourous image is Fancy from Saturated Canary.  You can find her in Krista's store here.  I printed her on MiC Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I added lots of sparkle to her bodice and the flowers in her hair with Stickles.  I added pearls to her hair with my Viva Decor Ice White Pearl Pen.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A satin bow and a few more diamond gems finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:

Copic Colors:

Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, R20, R11

Hair: E21, E25, E29

Little Miss Muffet Stamps - Mega New Release and More

Good morning!  Happy Tuesday!  Hope you are having a good week so far!  If you visited the Little Miss Muffet challenge blog last Thursday, Friday or Sunday looking for the new release, Friday Freebie or Sunday Spotlight, then you saw that they were all on hold until today and wow, do we have a massive reveal in store for you today! You'd better grab a coffee and settle in, because in addition to the new stamp releases, Barbara has given the Little Miss Muffet Stamp shop a brand new look and there will be lots of special offers to help celebrate!  As far as the new release goes, there are both rubber stamps and digis from Pollycraft for Little Miss Muffet Stamps and it's all about Christmas this time!  Wait until you see how adorable all these stamps are!  Check out the New Releases Section of the fab new store to see everything!

To get started, here is my card for the new release:

My card base and mats are SU Ruby Red and the patterned paper is from the October Afternoon Holiday Style 8x8 pad.  The adorable image is All The Trimmings by Pollycraft for Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  I colored her up with my Copics, then added lots of texture and sparkle with Stickles, Snow Glitter and Glossy Accents.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  I finished up my simple design with a red taffetta bow.  The sketch was one I missed from Tuesday Morning Sketches.

Here is a close-up of the image:

I am entering my card in the following challenges:
Oozak Challenge #18 (anything goes with texture)
Sentimental Sundays #164 (Christmas in July plus a sentiment)
Pollycraft Challenge #3 (ruby red)

But that's not all.  I wasn't able to make a card for the Friday Freebie feature, but be sure to check out what the other DT girls have done with Polka Dot Pals Glasses.  I do have a card for the Sunday Spotlight, which was to use any Fancy Sunbonnet stamp from Bugaboo for Little Miss Muffet Stamps.

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Primrose Petals and the patterned papers are from the Echo Park Sisters collection.  My adorable image is Fancy Sunbonnet Flowers.  I colored her with my Copics and added Buttercup Liquid Pearls to the flower centers.  I added more pearl accents along the punched borders and the corners.  The sentiment is from A Piece of Heart.  Sharon generously shared it as a freebie last August.  You can find it here.  Some wide pink crocheted lace finished my card.  The sketch was another I missed on the Seems a Little Sketchy blog.

The Sweetest Gift

Good morning!  Happy Monday!?!  Hope your week is off to a great start!  We had a record rainfall yesterday and today is not looking to be much better.  I guess I will have to stay in and maybe even find some time in my craft room.  Before getting on with my day, I am here to share a card I made for the currrent Guest DT call on the Digi Bells DT blog.  I had so much fun as GDT last year that I always like throw my name in the hat when these calls come up again.  The theme for this GDT call is "summer".  I went with some warm summer colors, some pretty flowers and birds, and an adorable barefoot little girl for my summer creation.

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Crisp Cantaloupe and my patterned papers are from the Prima Songbird 6x6 pad.  The sweet image is Little Friends from the Elisabeth Bell Digital Collection.  I printed her on MiC Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I added some Mint Green Liquid Pearls to the buttons on her blouse and Eucalyptus and Golden Rod Stickles to her hair tie and the little bird. The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  I added some birds that I cut with the Birds on A Wire metal die from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  I tucked in a few vintage tickets from the same Prima pad.  Some mint green lace, a May Arts silk ribbon bow with a metal birdcage charm and  a few Wild Orchid Crafts roses and rosebuds finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:

Thanks for stopping by!  I truly appreciate your visits, especially when I haven't been able to reciprocate much this last couple of weeks.  I hope to get back into my routine soon.

My card is also for the following challenges:
Elphine House #48 (use something metal; I used a metal charm)
Crafts and Me Challenge #138 (anything goes)

Have a great day and see you soon!

You're In My Thoughts

Good morning!  It's very early on Sunday and I hope when you see this I am still sleeping (please, Mr. Blogger, do your thing)!  I am here to post a card I made for this week's Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #220.  Little Miss Muffet Stamps is the sponsor for this week, so the Little Misses were invited to create a card for the challenge.  Miraculously, I managed to get my act together and actually make a card for the challenge!  Each challenge, they provide an inspiration cupcake and you are to make a card or other craft project that is inspired by the cupcake.

Here is this week's inspiration:

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Rich Razzleberry and the patterned papers are from the Basic Grey Green At Heart Collection.  The adorable image is Fancy Sunbonnet Little Miss Muffet from Bugaboo for Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  I colored her up with my Copics and added some grass.  I added Magenta and Orange Stickles here and there for some sparkle and Glossy Accents to the ladybug.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A few mulberry paper roses that I won from Jacque's Sweet Stuff, a couple of 3D butterfly stickers and a some pearls from my stash finished my card.

Alcohol Markers Challenge - The Outlawz

Good morning!  Happy Friday!  Hope you've had a good week and you have fun plans for the weekend! Sorry I've been MIA again this week.  I've been working behind the scenes on some upcoming DT cards, but to be honest, I'm not feeling much like designing and coloring just yet.  I'm sure I will get back in the swing of things soon, but right now, I have a bunch of things to take care of first.  On a more upbeat note, I am here this morning to share my DT card for this week's Alcohol Marker Challenge on The Outlawz site.  The theme this week is "travel".  Perfect for this time of year when lots of people take fun vacations with their families!  Interpret the theme any way you'd like, but you must have some coloring with alcohol markers on your project.

Here is my card:

My card base, mats and ornate frame are all SU Island Indigo and the two patterned papers are from the Webster's Pages Palm Beach Petite Papers pack.  The fun image is Pack Light from Saturated Canary. You can find her in Krista's store here.  I printed her on MiC Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  Some ribbon, a few pearls and three felt flowers finished my card.
