Spring Challenge

Hi Everyone, 

Here is the other challenge card I did for the Gina K Designs March Release. We were supposed to make a spring card. I used Easter Blooms, and colored the image with Koh-I-Noor Pencils & Gina K OMS. 

I usually don't use pastel colors on cards, but I wanted to use something bright. I have a lot of SU Print Patterns paper I need to start using up! 

Have a great night!

Hey Cupcake!

Hi Everybody! 

Hope you are enjoying your weekend, the sun is out here, and it's gonna be close to 50! Yay spring is finally here. 

Gina K had release party on Thursday Night, so it's Gina K Challenge time! I made this card for the sketch challenge, using Sweetest Blessings. I am soo LOVING this cupcake stamp! I colored in with Koh-I-Noor Pencils and Gina K OMS. 

I think I'm gonna go get out for awhile and enjoy the nice weather! Tomorrow I will post my other Gina K Challenge card....

Hugs, LJ

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! 

Hugs, LJ

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! 

Hugs,
