Little Miss Muffet Stamps - Super Saturday

Good morning!  Happy Saturday!  Hope your weekend is off to a great start!  They weren't able to finish the roof yesterday because it started pouring down rain.  They assure me that they will finish today without fail.  Let's hope so.  Besides the noise, my yard has been strewn with trash and equipment since Tuesday and I'm ready for a quiet, clean yard again.  Enough about that.  I am here to with my Super Saturday post for the Little Miss Muffet DT.  We have a great freebie for you, a wonderful spotlighted stamp at a reduced price, and inspiration from the Little Misses with both.

The freebie is Bountiful Cornucopia.  I didn't have a chance to create with it, but it is perfect for this time of year!  The spotlighted stamp is La Jeune Fille a L'Eventail.  I love this stamp!  It's so elegant, yet fun!

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Rose Red and the patterned papers are from the My Mind's Eye Collectable "Memorable" 6x6 pad.   I stamped La Jeune Fille on MiC Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I added Stickles here and there and Liquid Pearls to the beads on her hat.  I fussy cut her and popped her up on an elegant chaise.  The Victorian Chaise is a digi from Make it Crafty.  I printed it on MiC card and also colored it with my Copics.  It was cut out and popped up on a circle frame.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  Some pretty lace, a triple-loop seam binding bow and a few paper roses from my stash finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the colored images:

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Little Miss Muffet blog and check out the wonderful inspiration from the other Little Misses!  As a reminder, you still have until Tuesday, November 19th to enter our "seeing dots challenge".  We hope you will join in!

Pretty in Pink

Hi again!  I'm back with a second and very quick post to share a card I made for a couple of challenges I enjoy.  I haven't had much of a chance to make non-DT cards since my surgery, but this one was quick and easy to put together so I gave it a go.

Here is my girly-pink card:

My card base and mats are SU Pretty in Pink and the patterned paper is from the Echo Park Bundle of Joy Girl 6x6 pad.  The darling image is Little Ballerina from Lili of the Valley.  I stamped her on MiC Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I added Diamond Glitter to her tu-tu and the hearts on her headband.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  I finished my card with a double-loop pink satin bow, a few Ivory Flower Shape Flatback Pearls, a Wild Orchid Crafts Pale Pink Cosmos Daisy and a couple of Wild Orchid Crafts Baby Pink and White Sweetheart Blossoms.  You can get all of these embellishments at The Ribbon Girl on-line shop.

Little Miss Muffet - Super Saturday

Good morning!  Happy Saturday!  Hope your weekend is off to a great start!  This is another scheduled post because I am spending a couple of days away with family and I have limited internet access.  It's time for another Super Saturday on the Little Miss Muffet blog.  As always, we have a freebie, a spotlighted stamp that's available at a reduced price, and lots of inspiration from the Little Misses with both.

The freebie this time is Skull & Crossbones Pirate.  I didn't have time before I left to use this one, but I did make a card with the spotlighted stamp, Clover Snowflake Kisses by Pollycraft for Little Miss Muffet Stamps.

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Riding Hood Red and the patterned papers are from the My Mind's Eye Mistletoe Magic 6x6 pad.  I colored up Clover Snowflake Kisses with my Copics and added glitter to the trim on her outfit, Goldenrod Stickles to the star and bells and Crystal Stickles to the snowflake.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A bunch of snowflakes punched from glitter paper finished my card.

Here is a close up of the image:

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Little Miss Muffet blog and check out the fabulous inspiration from the rest of the DT, then head to the Little Miss Muffet store and grab your freebie and of course, do some shopping!

Alcohol Marker Challenge - The Outlawz

Good morning!  Happy Friday!  Hope you've had a good week and you have fun plans for the weekend!  It's Labor Day weekend here in the States, so there is always something fun going on in the area. Even though the kids are already back to school here, Labor Day weekend has always signified the end of summer to me. Where I grew up, we didn't go back to school until after Labor Day. Anyway, I am here to share my DT card for this week's Alcohol Markers Challenge on The Outlawz site.  The theme this time is the ever-popular "anything goes" with the optional twist to make a Christmas card for your stash.  You can do anything you'd like, but you must have some coloring with alcohol markers (any brand) on your project.

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Riding Hood Red and the patterned papers are from the Jillibean Soup Winter Tortellini and Spinach Soup 6x6 pad.  My cute image is Joy from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.  She was another of the fabulous stamps in the blog candy I won from my teammie, Tress, awhile back.  I really hit the jackpot with that win!  Thanks again, Tress!  I stamped her on MiC Blending Card and colored her with my Copics,  The sentiment came with the stamp.  A few buttons with twine bows and a taffeta ribbon bow finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the colored image:

Alcohol Markers Challenge - The Outlawz

Good morning!  Happy Friday!  Hope you've had a great week and you have fun plans for the weekend!  I get to see some dear friends that I haven't seen in almost two years, so I am really looking forward to the weekend!  First things first, though.  I am here to share my DT card for this week's Alcohol Markers Challenge at The Outlawz site.  This week we have a color inspiration challenge for you.  We've never done one for this challenge, so we thought it would be fun.

Here is the photo we have for inspiration:

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Baja Breeze and the patterned papers are from the My Mind's Eye Kate & Co. Cambridge and Collectable Unforgettable 6x6 pads.  My cute image is Fairy Wishes from Saturated Canary for Little Darlings Rubber Stamps.  She was another kind gift from my teammie, Tress when I won her blog candy awhile back.  I stamped her on MiC Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A satin bow and a few gems from my stash finished my card.

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:

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.

Here is a close-up of the image:

Little Miss Muffet - Sunday Spotlight

Good morning!  Happy Sunday!  I sure hope Mr. Blogger cooperates and posts my card this morning for the Little Miss Muffet Sunday Spotlight!  This week's spotlight is the Cozy Cafe rubber stamp set from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  This set has all the elements for a cute cafe setting and you can get it today for a reduced price in the Little Miss Muffet Stamp store.

Here is my card with Cozy Cafe:

My card base and mats are SU Baja Breeze and the pretty patterned papers are from the My Mind's Eye Kate & Co. Cambridge Court 6x6 pad.  I used digi versions from the Cozy Cafe set, but you can also create your scenes with the rubber stamps and masking.  I merged the digis to create my scene, then printed the merged image on MiC Blending Card and colored it all with my Copics.  I added some Diamond Stickles to the tablecloth, Glossy Accents to the pitcher and glass, and Liquid Pearls to the dollop of frosting on the cake slice.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  Some pink gingham ribbon and a few yellow gems from my stash finished my card.

In The Hole

Hi again!  I'm back with a super quick post to share a card I made for a challenge that is ending any minute now, so I'll be brief.  My card is for the QKR Stampede Challenge #44 and the theme is "summer fun". I wanted to use some cute digis that I won a couple of challenges ago.

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Real Red and the bright patterned papers are from the Bo Bunny Surprise 6x6 pad.  I merged two digis for my cute golf scene.  I used digi15309 Golfing Bear and digi15317 Golf Flag from QKR Stampede.  I printed the merged image on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored it with my Copics.  I added a cloudy sky and the grass for the golf green.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  I always like this one for my golfing friends.  An aqua ribbon and some flowers with pearl centers finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:

Little Miss Muffet - Sunday Spotlight

Good morning!  Happy (early) Sunday!  Hope you've had a good weekend so far and you have enjoyable plans for the rest of the day!  We've had wonderful weather here this weekend!  It's been warm, but not as humid as usual for this time of year.  I am hopefully still sleeping right now, but I am here to share the card I made for our second Sunday Spotlight feature on the Little Miss Muffet Challenge blog.  Barbara has selected "Puppy Additions" for this week's spotlight stamp.  These little guys are just too cute!

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Real Red and the patterned papers are from the October Afternoon Sidewalks 8x8 pad.  I used both puppies from the Puppy Additions set and I paired them with the adorable, My Ride from Pollycraft for Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  I colored them all with my Copics and I added a cloudy sky and some grass to the background.  There is a bit of Glossy Accents on his glasses.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  Some yellow gingham ribbon and a polka-dot flower finished my card.

Make it Crafty Coloring Challenge

Hi again!  I'm back this morning with a quick post to share a card I made for the Make it Crafty Coloring challenge on Facebook.  It ends in just a couple of days, so I didn't want to miss out.  The challenge was to color brown hair and there were three difficulty levels: easy (just brown hair), medium (brown hair with fine details) and difficult (brown hair with fine details and a top right light source).   Given that my coloring skills have decided to take a vacation, I should have stuck with the easy challenge, but I decided to go ahead and try the difficult one.

Here is my attempt:

My card base and mats are GKD Cranberry Tart and the patterned papers are from the Carta Bella Beautiful Moments 6x6 pad.  The gorgeous image is Zoe by Krista Smith for Make it Crafty.  Krista designed this image especially for Zoe to use in her "Coloring Long Hair in Fine Detail" EBook.  I printed out the image on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored her with my Copics, attempting to follow Zoe's fantastic tutorial in the EBook.  Let's just say I still need a lot of practice with long hair, that's for sure!  I kept my card simple otherwise, just adding a ribbon, bow and a few pearls for embellishments. There is a bit of Gold Liquid Pearls on her pendant.

Here is a close-up of the colored image:

Copic colors:

Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, R20

Hair: E35, E37, E47, E49, E51

Dress: R22, R29, R46, R59

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope to be by to visit you a little later today.

I am also entering my card in the following challenges:
