Hoppy Tuesday

Greetings! 

This is the card I came up with for Gina K's OMS Tutorial Challenge over on Stamp TV. I used Gina K Odorless Mineral Spirits and Kooh-i-Noor Pencils to color in the bunny and balloons. The purple heart balloon was popped up for al little extra dimension. I used two Gina K Sets for this card, So Hoppy and So Hippy.

MFT IDOL Audition

I figured, I can't sing, so there's no reason to audition for American Idol, but MFT (My Favorite Things) Idol? Lets see, ok I can try to come up with something (after a few SCS friends dragged me into the studio, I found out my stamping stage fright was really not that bad LOL!)

This idea came into my head last night, I had the Ride Em Cowgirl set (which actually is my favorite MFT Set!) and wanted to do a cute tag attached to a yunmy bag of candy,but what kind of candy??? so I thought, and voila! gotta do Jolly Ranchers to keep with the western theme! :) The second picture is the inside of the tag, which I also decorated.

So here it is! :) Maybe I won't make it to the next round (insert sarcastic Simon comment here) but I think I gave it a pretty good shot! Now just don't ask me to sing!

Soft Birthday

Here is another card with the Very Versatile Set. This is going to be one of my demo swap cards. I used Night of Navy, Mellow Moss, and Baja Breeze for this color combo. The main stamp was stamped in Baja Breeze and Night of Navy. The horizontal strip at the bottom and the stamped oval is more of the Walk In the Park DSP.

Wishing You Happiness

Happy Day! My SU pre-order for the Occasions Mini came today, and couldn't wait to play with my new stamps tonight. This card uses the new Very Versatile Set. I also used some of the new Walk In the Park DSP that will be in the new mini. I really like the set, because just like the title it's very versatile (LOL). There are sentiments for birthday, thanks, Wedding (or anniversary). and sympathy cards. I really needed a set like this for my card-making! 

More later!

U got Lucky Babe....

Gina K's first technique challenge over on StampTV was thumping. So I thumped a Little Tee from Melanie's set, and this is what I came up with. This song by Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers is one of my favorites. I think I was 5 or 6 when it came out, but I'm drawn to the tunes of the 1970's, for some reason! :-) 

The sentiments/words were done on my computer. I printed out the sentiment, and then stamped the t-shirt image over the printed sentiment. When I do this I do a couple (3 or 4) printed images, incase I stamp off-center. 

Stamps: Little Tees (Melanie Muenchinger for GKD)

Paper: Black, WHite, Glorious Green, DCWV Glitter Stack

Ink: none 

Access: SU Markers, bling, sparkle green brads (Doodlebug Designs), Spots & Dots CB A2 Folder, Nestablities, Black gingham ribbon,
