Naughty or Nice?

If you haven't already heard, we have started a new challenge blog, and I am SUPER excited to be a part of it...mostly because it's naughty, with a side of nice:) You can check us out on the Naughty or Nice blog, but for now, a bit about our challenge. 

So what do we mean by Naughty or Nice? Well, take a look at your sentiment stamps - are there any in your collection that are kind of "off-color" or a little bit racey? Pair them with a seemingly innocent image and BAM! You've succeeded in being naughty. But for those of you who cannot find a devilish stamp that fits the bill, no worries - you could be nice and post a card with our theme and you will be fulfilling our challenge parameters too!

With There She Goes closing, I really needed a place to get my snarky, naughty, slightly off color sentiments a place to hang out, and Naughty or Nice is the place!! This card was made with an image from the Shiver Me Timbers set, and paired with a sentiment from the Ship Happens set. Nothing says love like a little booty:)

I used Cosmo Cricket Pixie-Licious paper, along with Not Quite Navy and Jellybean Green cardstock. I used the MFT Heart Stax Die-namics, spiral clips, Michael's brads, Sweet Tooth grosgrain, and Smooth White cardstock for my base.

So, my card shows love for the booty, while also playing along in the Crazy 4 Challenge's challenge. This week's challenge is a color challenge, so be sure to check it out as well!

That's it for me for now, thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!

TCP Tuesday Challenge-Valentine Home Decor

This week's The Cat's Pajamas Tuesday Challenge is to make a Valentine Home Decor. I don't normally do "altered items", but something about them makes me super happy. I love love love making these shadow box wall hangings.

For my wall hanging, I used the super cute Honey Bear stamp set. I colored him on X-Press It blending card with my Copics. He was then layered with Bubblegum, Electric Red, and Black Licorice cardstock from MFT. I used an Echo Park paper pad, which I added some Michael's brads to the bottom of. My buttons are all from MFT, and they are in Sweet Tooth, Black Licorice, Electric Red, and Bubblegum. They have black twine through them, and to add just a little bit of me, I threw in some spiral clips....what can I say? I'm obsessed.

3-2-1 TCP Tuesday Challenge

I wanted to play along with this week's The Cat's Pajamas Tuesday  challenge, and this week's challenge was a 3-2-1 challenge. The rules were to use 3 different patterned papers, 2 different embellishments, and one type of twine or ribbon. The hardest part for me was chosing two different embellishments.....the rest was cake:)

I used the super cute Under the Stars set, and colored my image with Copics after stamping it on X-Press It blending card. I then layered my image with Gumdrop Green cardstock. My other colors are Lemon Drop and Smooth White, both from MFT, and my blue is Spring Rain from PTI. For my embellishments, I chose Gumdrop Green, Lemon Drop, and Berrylicious buttons from MFT, and spiral clips. I chose hemp cord from MFT, mostly because I could use it in my buttons, too. 

Here are the Details on how you can join in on the fun:

1. Each Tuesday a new challenge will be posted here on this blog as well as on ourSplitcoaststampers forum and our Facebook page.

For today's Love is in the Air theme, I decided to use the ultimate fairy tale, Cinderella.

They are both a part of the Once Upon A Time 4 set, and I stamped her on X-Press It blending card then colored her with my Copics.
