For my card tonight, I stamped my scene on X-Press It Blending card, and then colored it with my Copics. I cut the image out with the Oval Stax Die-namics from My Favorite Things, and my layer is the Oval Open Scalloped Doily Die-namics in Wild Cherry, also from My Favorite Things. My paper is from the Cosmo Cricket Baby Jane line, and besides the Wild Cherry,I paired it with Lemon Drop(MFT) and Aqua Mist(PTI) cardstock.

I stamped her on X-Press It blending card, colored her with Copics, and paper pieced her dress with some MME Miss Caroline Dolled Up paper. SO YUMMY!!

It's a Sweet, Beautiful, Sketchy Day

Hey everyone, and happy Monday! Today, I have a card I made using this week's Sweet Stop Sketch, along with one of the GORGEOUS new There She Goes sets. This month, There She Goes is celebrating it's birthday, and there is a TON of fun going on over at the There She Goes blog. Riddles and prizes galore!!

For my card, I used the gorgeous new Beautiful Day set, illustrated by Di Carubia. I stamped my girl, and flower box, on X-Press It blending card separately, and then colored them both with my Copics. I cut her out using my Cuttlebug and Circle Nesties, and then layered her with Black Licorice(MFT). The box was hand cut, and then layered on top of her, so it looks like she is behind it. My paper is from the Authentique Uncommon pack. I also used Bubblegum(MFT) and Cameo Coral(SU) card stock. My brads are from Michael's, and my seam binding is from The Ribbon Carousel.

Forgotten Stamp Friday- Week 26

Hey everyone!! Sorry I skipped last week, release time can get SO HECTIC!! Forgive me? (flashes her puppy dog eyes)

Since it is Friday, it is time for Forgotten Stamp Friday. If you aren't familiar with this challenge, it is a personal challenge that I have posed to myself to make me use some of my un-inked, unused, and neglected stamps. The only rule is that it has to have been un-inked or owned for 6 months. Digi images count, as well...we tend to collect those, and then never use them, too! If you decide to play along, just be sure to enter your name in the Mr. Linky, and when uploading to an online gallery, use the keyword...FSF26.

For this week's card, I paired the ADORABLE Puppy Love set from There She Goes, with this week's Sweet Stop Sketch. I LOVE these adorable puppies, and couldn't wait to play with them again. This set was illustrated by the EVER fabulous, Torico!! Isn't she the GREATEST??!!

Well, that is it for me for now! Thanks for stopping by, and I can't wait to see if you play along!

Vroom/Hibiscus Blog Hop Challenge!!

It is night two of this month's There She Goes Blog Hop Challenges, and tonight we have two super cute sets to share with you!! Tonight's hop started at the There She Goes blog, so if you didn't start there, head on back there to get started. If you are here now, you should have come from Jessica's blog!!

This adorable car illustrated by Melyssa is great to make a fun, every day card for family and friends! The larger car featured in this mini set was sized so that it could also be used with Leah (who can be seen in the Freeze The Moment stamp set).

Vroom is a 3x4 set that includes a total of 6 stamps and will sell for $7.


For my first card, I started with the smaller card from the set, which was colored on an X-Press it Blending Card. I then layered it with Orange Fizz and Hot Fudge. I felt a little retro with this super cute little car...so it just worked for me! I used some MME Lime Twist paper, Cappuccino Twine, and Michael's brads. My sketch is this week's Sweet Stop Sketch.

These gorgeous tropical flowers were illustrated by Torico and will quickly become a favorite from your summer stamping collection! Use them to create beautiful custom designer paper, color in the line art images to use as a focal point for your project or pair them with a TSG sentiment stamp set for a card that can be given for any occasion.

Hibiscus is a 3x4 set that includes a total of 7 stamps and will sell for $7.

For my second card tonight, I colored my Hibiscus on an X-Press It Blending card, and then layered it with Jelly Bean Green and Red Hot. My paper is from two different paper packs- the Cosmo Cricket Homemaker line, and the October Afternoon Fly a Kite line. I used some Maraschino Twine and Michael's brads.
