Loves Rubber Stamps - "Give Thanks" Challenge

Good Morning crafty people! Today the Challenge at Loves Rubber Stamps is Thanksgiving. We are sponsored by the wonderful Saturated Canary, but who needs an excuse to color up a Saturated Canary image!?! Since the theme is "Thanks" I decided to make a Thank You card for my daughters student teacher who has been going out of her way to help my daughter in class. The little matching treat bag is for some chocolate.

Patience....is what I am practicing with this HAIR! ....I know I am getting so much more patient the older I get, but working on detailed hair like this really lets you practice the art of patience.

Above are the Copics I used.

Hair: E57, E49, E33. Skin: YROOO, YROO, EO2

You can find the supplies here at Loves Rubber Stamps!

{From the Heart Stamps} Sketch 44

Good Morning ladies!

Today is a new Sketch Challenge over at From the Heart Stamps and the sketch is a cutie!

I used the digi stamp Ali's Chick and Basket and I used it without the basket, for a less Easter look. The color combo is a little odd, vanilla, cream and gray!

And the inside says "Smile.....Jesus loves you!~"

Hope you all have a wonderful day and play along with us at From the Heart Stamps Challenges.

My card inspiration today!

Awwwwww! Here is a photo of my son (who is now 11!) and he inspired today's card, which uses an image by Mo Manning. I now know why Mo's images are so popular - they are super fun to color and I had a blast making this card.

My youngest son is now 2 years old, so needless to say I don't have much baby fever anymore....and what little I have could be satisfied by making this card.

Word Art Wednesday - Psalm 19:1

Today is a brand new.... Word Art Wednesday challenge. Last week we had over 200 entries - woot! So if you played with us - congrats! You know how fun it is to make an uplifiting card and your card is up for one of the weekly prizes which are randomly selected. If you didn't play, then don't be shy this week because EVERYONE is welcome.

To play this week, just create an uplifting and positive card and post it at Word Art Wednesday challenges.

As usual, Karen M. (Papercraft Memories) created the beautiful graphic for today's verse:

I wanted to make a card that honored one of God's beautiful "handy works"....nature. I got to try out my Darice Arabello tree embosser and I used some sparkle from Michaels.

Cryogen cardstock

Stampin up card stock

Darice Arabello tree embossing pad (Jo Anns)

Distresser

Ranger Antique Linen Ink pad

Stash bling (Michael's)

I did not use any dies on this card, which has to be a first in months! Hope you all enjoy it and hope that this weeks scripture speaks to you as well.

Loves Rubber Stamps - Vintage Challenge

Good Morning crafty people! Today is my second "official" post as a Design Team member with Loves Rubber Stamps. I am super excited for this weeks challenge because it is Vintage or Shabby Chic Challenge. I don't usually do vintage style (ok, never...LOL) so it was a "challenge" in the true sense of the word.

For this challenge I used the Gorjuss Girls Decoupage "New Heights" pack that I bought at Loves Rubberstamps. LOVE!!! Not to sound like a commercial, but it was only $4.99 and it includes all the stuff below, plus some extra paper not even shown here:

Materials used:

Gorjuss Girls Decoupage Pack "New Heights"

Crate Paper

Best Glue Ever

Best Cleaner Ever

Gorjuss Paper Pack - 8 x 8 Collection

Copics

Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pad - Antique Linen

Memento Ink Pad - Rich Cocoa

Stash fuzzy ribbon

To decoupage this card, I just popped out the image and the image repeats. I mixed Diamond Glaze with a little water and brushed it on the base, then I used Best Glue Ever as if it were a silicone glue, because it is not runny so it dries in a nice ball if you want it to, and I attached the second figure raised by the glue. Then I pasted a coat of Diamond Glaze over this. Repeat. It is super fast and easy. Actually quicker for me than coloring and stamping. Decoupage is fun!
