Happy Birthday Simply Betty!

I have been a fan of this company since the beginning... I love their stamps and I bought these a LONG time ago and I whipped one out to help them celebrate their birthday.I colored Rio with copics and I used a die cut for the gigantic cupcake. I added the pearls with Viva Decor and glittery icing and of course... a cherry on top! So happy birthday Simply Betty ... and many MOOOOOORRRRREEEEEEE!

I am SOOOO Glad That I FINALLY ...

...made this gorgeous image into a card! This is from Linda Biggs's and it is called Bella's Paradise.

I had this image colored for a while and then I finally decided to make it into a card and i am so glad that I did! i had a blast using all of my copics to deck her out and then i used glitter and ribbon and punched and here she is!

And here is a close up of the little darling! How cute is she with her seahorse pet?

Look at Me...Using a DIGI!!!

I DID... I USED A DIGI!!! They are not my forte... but I Love the stamps and the people at In Style Stamps. I made this card using the BUTTERFLY image... and its a digi! I cut a piece of designer paper to 8.5 x 11 and i put it in the printer and said a prayer. I got my file ready to print and VIOLA!!! Out it popped... THEY WAY I WANTED IT TO! So I then cut out the butterfly, added some helmar 3 d glue dots to the body and the antennea and popped the wings. I used crystal effects on some of the flowers and flitter on the others. I put a sparkley gem in the middle of some of the flowers and used a rub on for the sentiment... and check it, I got my water mark on there too! Yeah me! Thanks for popping in and be sure to check out all of the fun digi and rubber stamps at IN STYLE STAMPS!

sugar sugar... SKULLS???

So I made this treat holder using Bombshell's Sugar Skulls. And then I got to thinking about what to put in it.Everyone is on a diet... so no chocolate. I am on a budget... so no diamonds... What then? I KNOW...a gift card from the spa that I work at! It is the perfect size... not only for the treat holder... but also for the person who gets it...a massage, a pedi, a facial...Pampering is always the right size!

This was super easy to make also. I used a 8.5 x 2.5 piece of paper and i scored it at .75,1.25,4.5 and 5. A few quick folds and some decorating and copics of course and here is my creation! i hope you will try this yourself... fun and easy... and candy fits in there as well! Thanks for popping in!

ARTful Inkables Think Ink Challenge... ATC into a Card!

So our challenge at ARTful Inkables this week was to make an ATC and then turn it into a card... so I used the set Sunburst Dandies to create this ATC. I embossed the glitter flowers over the red circle and sponged some clouds into the background. I stamped my sentiment onto some SUNNY card stock and punched it out. I mounted the entire thing onto a green piece of paper and that was my ATC.

And here is my whole card. I just sponged a white A2 sized card and adhered my ATC onto it! Please play along with this challenge and make sure to post to the ARTful Inkables blog so we can see your creation and there are prizes! Thanks for popping in ... see ya tomorrow with another fun challenge...

WoodWare Anything Goes ... Even Glitter Alligators?

I LOVE to do anything goes... I LOVE thinking outside the box and here is what I did. I stamped the alligator from JUNGLE PALS onto acetate with stazon ink in jet black. Then, on the same side that I stamped on, I filled in various areas of the gators with crystal effects and dumped glitter on it and repeated the process with different colors and glitters and here is what I came up with. I used pop dots to life the acetate alligator panel off the paper so the light would show through and I covered the dots with the leaves that I cut out. I added the leaves under the panel too and got out the stickles and jazzed them all up! This was really a fun technique and it was funny too because Milo, my 15 year old Jack Russell STILL has glitter on him... and so does my hubby...(but that can be our little secret!)

Thanks for popping in!
