Another Thank You

Thank Ewe!

Here is another Thank You that I made for co-worker.

This one utilizes the Hoppity Skippity set from the magalogue. I stamped the ewe and then masked him while drawing in a black line for the ground/sky separator. I then sponged the blue sky, green grass, and yellow sun. The sentiment is from the same set and was stamped in black. I then added 3 black rhinestones to the bottom. To finish it off I applied glue to the ewe and fun flocked him in white. Then it was matted on black.

This was one of my co-workers favorites only because she thought it was so neat that he was fuzzy. Isn't it fun to make the easiest card for someone and have them love it sooo much!

Still have a few more "Thank Yous" .... Stay Tuned!

Thank Yous

Thanks so much!

I recently made 12 thank you cards for a co-worker of mine. I made 6 sets of 2. This was one of the sets.

It uses the flowers from the Spring Flowers stamp set. They are colored with copics. The sentiment is from the new level C hostess set and then a stamped a pair of leaves on there with them. I used a nice floral paper by American Crafts and added some Grosgrain ribbon tags/flags. I matted the whole card with a matching green cardstock. I rounded the ends of the white strip with corner rounders.

More thank yous to come .... my co-worker loved them and I hope you do as well.

Baby ATC

Special Delivery

I made this ATC for a swap that I was in over at the Stamp Shack. It was for baby ATCs and how could I resist using the new Special Delivery set by Mabelle over at TAC. I colored it with colored pencils and OMS. I cut slits next to the storks body and threaded the ribbon through .. I love that look .. gives it lots of dimension!

Time for a Parade

Don't you love taking images and conforming them to the holiday by coloring them in the color for that holiday???

This stamp is from the BRAND NEW set from the Angel Company called Hear the Angels. It was just released last week! I got a sneak peek at this set at Seminar and they allowed us to stamp some images.

I colored her in red and blue with my copics for the 4th of July! She looks like she is ready for a parade! The sentiment is made up of 3 other stamp sets. Don't you love combining your stamps to make a masterpiece!!!

The images were matted on red and then placed on a blue cardstock base. I then added a touch of red with another strip on the bottom.

New Catty from the Angel Company

It's here - the new 2009-2010 catty.

Here are a few sneak peaks at some of the new sets. I did not count yet how many there are.

There are also a few new accessories/tools.

If you would like to order a copy of your own catty please contact me ... I should have them in the next week and I can get one to you right away.

Seminar Update
We are having a blast ... we had "Project Playground" where we made make and takes and we also tried out new coloring techniques. There was also a "Stamp Your Heart Out" section where we could stamp images to take home with us to make samples with.

Seminar Swaps

One of my favorite things at Seminar (besides the unveiling of the new catty of course) is swaps and swapping with other angels.

This year I made card fronts and "special" trades.

Here is my card front card:

Sweet Birthday Wishes

I used my favorite set from the Magalogue called Little Cupcake. I stamped the cupcake in blue ink and then colored it with colored pencils and OMS. I mounted it on a scalloped circle and then stamped the sentiment also from Little Cupcake in blue ink as well. I added a splash of coordinating colors with adding paper strips from either the Kaleidoscope Boyz or A Little Whimsy.

I made just over 80 of these to swap!

For my "special" trade I made a post-it note holder. I figured everyone could use post-it notes to mark the pages with new sets that were on their wish list.

Front

I used a stamp from the set that we received for seminar. I colored the contents of the pencil jar with copics and then paper pieced the can with paper from the Uptown Girl collection. I punched a black scalloped circle and mounted that on 4" coasters that I covered with Uptown Girl paper as well. I used my Bind It All to bind it together and then adhered the post-its inside.

Inside

Back

I made 24 of these. (I know there are only 16 in this picture!)

Well I am off .... hoping to post a few snippets once I get my hands on the new catty!!! I am sooo excited!

TAC Seminar 2009

Well it's finally here ... TAC Seminar. I am headed off tomorrow and can not wait.

One of our tasks was to take a chipboard heart that they sent us with our registration pack and to "decorate it".

I was stumped and not really sure what to do ... then I had an idea and here is the result:

First I covered the heart with Uptown Girl paper and inked the edges with Claret ink. Then I added Modge Podge to the heart to stiffen it up and make it more durable. After it dried, I added 2 flowers to it and attached them with pink eyelets.

Then I took the girl stamp that came in our Seminar stamp set and paper pieced her dress out of Uptown Girl paper. I colored her hair, face, and scissors with copics. I used a white gel pen on her lace collar. Then I completely covered her with Modge Podge. Then I cut a thin strip of white cardstock and stamped "Seminar 2009" and of course then Modge Podged that.

I put the whole thing together using foam tape to make it have more of a 3D effect .... and the great thing ... it's not heavy!

I connected it to my badge ... but I wanted to make it removable. So I added velcro! Gotta love Velcro!

This is the side view ... You can see how 3D it is in real life.

Ok ... off to finish packing ... more fun snipets over the next couple of days.
