Bellarific Friday!

Image
Hi there! I love Stamping Bella stamps, and create with them whenever I can(I'm slowly building up my collection). They have Bellarific Friday every week on the blog and the theme for this week is to use 2 Stamping Bella stamps. I chose to use Romantic Chandelier and Stella Ballerina. The sentiment is also from Stamping Bella. It was a lot of fun making this card, the papers are from Echo Park's Everyday Eclectic 6 x 6 paper pad, stamped with Momento Tuxedo Black and colored with Bic Mark- It's. Also used some ribbon by KaiserCraft & Star Dust Stickles from Ranger. Love this card!   Thanks for stopping by! Have a great weekend of crafting, I'm checking out the local craft shows this weekend. :-) Brittany

I promised details...

So I made this cute little card for Unity's Friends With Flair on Friday and promised to come back and give you details. Note to self: Posting on the blog with only the cell phone is not a good idea! It's hard and not very fun. :-)  So here's the card again:  He was stamped with Momento Tuxedo Black on acrylic painting paper. Then I got out the fun Tim Holtz Distress Markers and started coloring. I used Festive Berries, Evergreen Bough & Iced Spruce which were the winter colors when they were limited release inks. It was fun. I did completely color each section and then used a water brush just to soften it up just a little. Finished him off using Tim Holtz Distress Stickles in Picket Fence on his awesome Santa hat and the snow under him.  For the base of the card, ha, I'm sneaky and you think it's a white cardstock base, but it's actually an acrylic front that I then attached a piece of white card stock. It opens from the top and I have the sentim...

Unity {beInspired} Challenge

So I just got the full set of Tim Holtz Distress Markers, I know, I know, they've been out for a while, but I wasn't paying full price for them and I got a killer deal on them from Blitsy.com. :-) So I did a little experimenting with them these last few days, and then yesterday finally sat down and created an actual project with them. I used a flower petal and a leaf stamp that I got in a grab bag from Unity Stamp Co, and the sentiment is from them too. I'm entering this in their {beInspired} Monthly Challenge for the Color Challenge. Here's what they gave us for a color palette:  I used Black, Orange, Green, Purple and the barest hint of that Cream color that you can't really see in the pic, but eh. I was kind of having a blast, and I loved the colors but didn't really want to do a Halloween project. And then I went to the grocery store. Now I don't know about your grocery store but around here they all have these gorgeous bushels of mums sitting o...

TGIF!

Oh my what a week. The kiddo has been pushing my buttons about going to school all week. So glad it's Friday and I have a couple of days break before he starts up again Monday morning. So it's Friday, which means Friends With Flair with Unity Stamp Co. Kinda makes me love Fridays. :-) So this week I combined FWF with the Unity {be inspired} Challenge they have monthly on their challenge blog. I used the card sketch from the blog and tweaked it just a little.  Here's the sketch: And here's what I did with it: This is the "Doin' It with Style" Itty Bitty from Unity, and the papers are from the Hip Hip Hooray 6 x 6 paper pad from American Crafts. I was having way too much fun coloring in that apron, it's too cute.  Thanks for stopping by, off to play with the other 2 Unity {be Inspired} Challenges this weekend and visit with my Mom. :-)  Have a fun & crafty weekend!

It's Friday!

And you know what that means! Friends with Flair over at Unity Stamp Co. I've been MIA for a few weeks while trying to get the kiddo used to school again and fighting with bronchitis but I'm feeling better now. :-) SO here's what I did for FWF this week:  This is the "Sending my Love" stamp set. I haven't had it long, this is the first time I inked it up. The papers are from My Mind's Eye Quite Contrary Jack & Jill 6 x 6 paper pad. Love these papers. Thanks for stopping by, I'm off to help a friend make displays for her new Paparazzi Jewelry business. :-) Have a great weekend & happy crafting! Brit

Happy Friday!

Hi all! Happy Friday! It's the last weekend before school starts here so it's a little chaotic but it's fun too. It's Friends With Flair over at the Unity Stamp Co. Blog so here's what I did today plus I'm entering it into the monthly {be inspired} Unity Challenge as a color entry. I LOVE this card.  This is SammyGirl from the AngieGirl line. I have a few of the girls now, and I adore them all. The papers are from Echo Park's This & That Charming 6 x 6 paper pad(yep, totally used boy paper for this card). She's not this pink in real life, I'm going to try and get another pic after the kiddo goes to bed tonight, but I still love her. :-)
