Superduper boy and the winner of Tilda with Hanging Rabbit!!


    Hi everyone! Well, we're a little closer to the weekend! Can you tell I'm ready? LOL! This was the card I designed for my Copic coloring class this month. I fell in love with this cute little guy Superduper Boy from Mo's Digitial Pencil Too! He's colored with Copic Sketch markers (yep! I have the colors listed below). Cardstock is Bazzill and the DP is from Inque Boutique.


    There's lots of dimension as each panel is popped up from the one under it. All three panels are machine stitched, and Superduper boy is fussy cut and popped up from the oval Nestie. The stars were cut with the Expression using the Gyspsy and George cartridge. The twine was just wrapped around the panel and then tied in a bow.



    I also used an old Martha Stewart border punch along the bottom half. First, here are the colors used for the card. Then scroll on down to find the winner of Tilda with Hanging Rabbit! Good luck!!

    I am entering this into
     Mo's challenge this week "Let's hear it for the boys!"  
    Simon Says Stamp challenge of Birthdays.

Happy Birthday with Loralei


    I think I may have a new addiction - Loralei stamps!  The Loralei stamps are a product of Loralei Productions.  While in Chicago at CHA I met Loralei and her model/friend Susan.  I have not used my Susan stamp yet, but soon....


     I am going to confess that what I like about the Loralei stamps is their lack youth!  They remind me of me and my middle-aged girlfriends; the wide hips, the not quite perky bosom, and the mature facial features.  These women rock!


    I added a small package to the lower left corner of the card - the package is one of several smaller stamps included in the Loralei stamp package.

    The card is constructed of smooth white cardstock with a piece of patterned cardstock affixed to the front of the card.  Using a two inch scalloped circle punch, I punched three circles and attached them to the left side of the card. I tied a ribbon around the card vertically over top of the circles. 


    I finished the card by affixing the Copic colored stamped images to the front of the card using pop dots and stamping a Happy Birthday sentiment inside the card.  I still have two unused Loralei stamps to share with you... But those are for another day.

What'th up?


    Today, I got to make a card simply for the fun of it. I truly fell in love with this cutie pie when I found her last night! Her name is Tabatha and I love her tattered look! It's just so much fun! I colored her with Copic markers and cut her out so I could pop her up off the card. The shaped card was cut with my Cricut Expression using the Wild Card cartrdige. The word blurb and the question marks were cut using the Cuttin' Up cartridge. Cardstock is Bazzill and the DP is digital, and the sentiment was just printed from the computer.  Of course the bow was made using May Arts silk ribbon. That's it for today! Thanks for stopping by to see me today and hope to see you back again soon! Hugs!Source URL: https://policfashion2011.blogspot.com/search/label/Copics

My First Loralie Stamped Card - A CHA Purchase


    While at the consumer show at CHA, I discovered Loralie stamps.  Apparently EVERYONE else knew about these hilarious stamps before me, but I am okay with that.  As long as I did FINALLY discover them!  I purchased two of the Loralie stamps, a swim suit cutie named... wait for it.... Susan!  And this fabulous woman.  Is she not THE cutest?


    I had my scrapping girlfriends over earlier tonight to give them the little goodies I brought to them from CHA (and I do mean little).  I also pulled out all of the cool products I discovered and shared.  The groups' favorite Loralie was not Susan (insert sad face) but this nameless cutie.  So after everyone went home (and Duncan the lady-loving-wonder-dog settled down), I decided to try my first Loralie stamp.


    I began with basic black staz-on ink and stamped the image.  The hat netting is a second stamp so I went ahead and added that.  I used a slate colored copic and began coloring the slacks and hat, and I added dark highlights to her hair and pearls.


    I added pink to her top, her shoes and her flowers.  I added more gray colors to her hair and I used a micro-tipped black pen and added stripes to her purse and definition to her necklace and earrings, as well as additions swirls to her hair.  And finally I colored her skin, adding touches of shadows and sun.  I finished her with pink pearls on her earrings and dark blue eyes.


    I cut the stamped image out and added pop dots to the back.  I then created this fun card using Three Bugs in a Rug paper, an old Deluxe cuts die cut, and organza ribbon.  I also added more of the die cute swirls and left over paper to the inside of the card.


    I know that my staz-on and copics did not like each other, but I really do think the card came out cut for a first try!!!  I cannot wait to play with my second Loralie stamp!!Source URL: https://policfashion2011.blogspot.com/search/label/Copics

Kraftin Kimmie discovers a happy birthday!

    One of my friends at work commissioned me to make a card for his mom, and she is really into tie dyed shirts. So after some thinking, this is what I came up with. I've got to say that I totally and completely love how this card came out!! I got this adorable Kraftin Kimmie stamp called Josephine from Lacey at Stamp and Create. She's from the Moonlight Whispers line, and the stamp is actually supposed to be a love potion. The only problem was a love potion wasn't what I needed for this card. So after some thought, I realized that after years of trying, Josephine discovered something different!!

    I stamped her with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored her with Copic markers. I also added some Smooch to her jewelry and the little doodads hanging from her skirt wrap. I thought up the sentiment myself, and then printed it out on my computer. Here's a close up of the sentiment (I doodled around it).

    The paper is Basic Grey, and I also used a Martha Stewart border punch. The stamp on the sentiment mat is one of the extra stamps that comes with Josephine. The bow was done with black silk ribbon (sooooo lucious!!) and my Bow Easy. And I added another one on the inside of the card with a charm.


    So what do you think? Think she'll like it? I sure hope so!! That's it for today! Thanks so much for stopping by to see me today, and hope to see you back again soon! Hugs!!

Wags 'n Whiskers - My Favorite Things!

    Happy Friday everyone! We made it through another week and it's time for a new Wags 'n Whiskers challenge. This week, the challenge comes from the awesome Jacqui, and she's asking everyone to use their favorite things. I chose to work with one of the new "Wee Ones" from the newest release of Wags 'n Whiskers stamps called "Hey Grandma". Isn't he so adorable??

    So what did I use on my card that's my favorite things? Well, I'll start with the image that reminds me of my four Grandsons, then there's buttons and silk bows, polka dots, and an adorable charm! I used my Copics and Nesties and Cricut to cut the stars, too! So there's tons of things that represent things I love. :) I'm not so sure about the pom poms on this one, though. I don't think I like them.

    Please be sure and visit Wags 'n Whiskers to see the AMAZING creations by the rest of the Diva's. They are sooooo talented!

This weeks challenge is from the fabulous Inge, and it's to use the colors brown, blue, and white on your project. I love this color combo, and chose to use the stamp Bear Hug.

(smile) It's time for a new challenge from Kerry over at Three Clovers Designs. The challenge is to use at least two images on your project, and words don't count!! I used these adorable new High Hopes stamps that I got from Lacey over at Stamp and Create! Have you heard that Dustin Pike is their newest artist? How exciting is that?! I fell in love with these aliens and had to have them. So I used the two different aliens, Chuck and Quentin, and the cute space post sign, and they're colored with Copic markers. The sentiment was printed off from my computer onto the sign. Chuck photographed really red, but he's actually orange in person. The grass was just drawn in with my Copic multi-liner.

    The stars, scalloped frame, and photo corners were all cut out with the Cricut using my Gypsy that I got from Hallmark Scrapbook. That's it for today!

Papertake Weekly - Pretty in Pink!!

    If you're looking for the Magnolia-licious blog hop, please scroll down one post....

    Nope, you're not seeing double. LOL! This weeks challenge for Papertake Weekly is Pretty in Pink, which is being sponsored by KLM Digistamps! And the really sad part, is I didn't even realize how similar I had made the cards for yesterday and today until it was too late to turn back. I just didn't have the time to make a different card for this challenge. At least I had used different stamps, even if the basic design of the card is the same. :) I'm really sorry it's so similar to yesterdays card, but I still love them both in their own individual little way. I used one of my all time favorite Tildas, #280, Pink Tilda with striped tights from Magnolia-licious. I just love her and think she was born to wear pink and white. :)
    I used Basic Grey Bittersweet papers along with a dark brown Bazzill cardstock. I know it looks black in the pics, but it really is a dark brown. This card is on it's way to someone that will be able to verify that pretty soon.


    Please be sure and visit Papertake Weekly to see the fabulous projects from the rest of the talented Design Team, and the grab your paper and glue and play along with us! You might get lucky and win a prize! Thanks for stopping by to see me today, and hope to see you back again soon!
