Time for Tea Designs - Fairytales and Cocktails!

Good morning friends! Are you ready for your weekly dose of inspiration from Time For Tea Designs? I know I am! Don't forget that you can (and should) play along in our monthly challenge, for your chance to win free digis! Everyone loves free digis, am I right? The theme for our challenge is Anything Goes. My favorite! It's so easy to enter - just make something using your Time For Tea Designs images and post them! Share with the hashtag #timeforteadesigns so we can find them, and you're entered to win! Challenges run monthly, and we will have a spotlight and a prize winner at the end of each challenge.

For today's card, I pulled out the newly released Fairytale clear set and got to work! 

I stamped the princess on a piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock and colored her in with Copic Markers. I buy all of my markers, refills, and adhesive at Scrapbookpal.com - I have for close to 10 years! I love their fast shipping and awesome service. Wink of Stella clear on the crown and shoes.

Each word grouping in this set is an individual stamp. This is SO helpful for creating customized sentiments, mixing and matching, or eclectic placement! BUT, you need to be careful when you're setting up to stamp so things don't come out crooked, or off the page. Before I stamped, I cut out the different elements with various dies and laid out the front face of the card. I chose where I wanted each of the words, and then pulled out my MISTI - the Most Incredible Stamp Tool Invented so I could line everything up just so. I really like that I can put it all together, see how it fits, line it up, and stamp away. No more mistakes or crookedness from "eyeballing it". 

I used a bunch of patterns from the Fairytales 6x6 collection from Doodlebug Design. So much adorableness! I used an old Mojo Monday sketch for the layout here. The shoe die is cut from gold cardstock using this Pretty Princess die set from Gina Marie Designs - my favorite for dies! Various layers are popped for dimension - thickness 1/16" up to 1/4" (I love my foam squares!).

Gina Marie Designs - New Release Dies!

Happy Tuesday! Is it an election day where you are? We had some items on the ballot, so after a busy day out in the rain at work I was off to the polls. I appreciate my opportunities to make my voice heard (it's pretty loud, yaknow :D).

I have a treat for you today - inspiration featuring brand new dies from Gina Marie Designs! I actually have a whole bunch of projects to share with you featuring some fun dies that released yesterday (no foolin'!) - Friendly Cat & Dog and Pretty Princess.

You may not even believe it, buuuuuttttttt...NO COPIC MARKERS were used today! Whaaatt....?! These dies are so cute, fun & easy, I didn't need them. I stuck with the silhouette of these frisky felines - they really want to kill those balloons, and their strings too! There is SO much dimension on this card, it was so much fun to create. <3 font="">

Polkadoodles Digi Choosday - Week 41!

Good morning everyone! I hope your day is off to a great start. If it's not, it CAN be - it's Choosday over at Polkadoodles! That means a new Digi Choosday challenge, and a new DISCOUNT CODE for the Polkadoodles shop! Head over to the blog to grab it before your shopping spree!

Today's challenge is, as always, Anything Goes! This week the DT has focused on the color scheme Purple & Green! Love it, great for fall and HALLOWEEN!

Starring in today's card is the adorable Manny Monster. I used the gorgeous Fanciful Circles nested die set to cut and frame him after coloring with Copics and adding metallic purple accents with my Arteza pen. I've paired him with papers from Winnie Wednesday - Papers 2 and Helga Hippo - Papers 3. My sentiment is from the new Hey Pumpkin clear stamp set.

Embellies from Doodlebug. Cute stickers to help show that Manny is a harmless cutie this Halloween!

That's it for my project details! Don't forget to head over to the blog to grab today's discount code! Then shop your heart out. Choosday is the best day!
