Stamper's Delights - June Anime Release Day!

Hello lovely crafters! How's your weekend? We're doing well here, and from a crafty standpoint, I'm excited to bring you some inspiration from Stamper's Delights! It's new release day for Anime, and continuing the Adventure theme, we've got this lovely Anime set called "Adventure".

I printed this beauty onto Neenah Solar White cardstock and colored with Copic Markers - I buy all of mine at Scrapbookpal.com for their low prices and fast shipping. I cut her with my Scan N Cut. I created the background using Distress Oxide Inks with Blender Brushes from Time for Tea Designs. The large oval masking stencil is also from Time for Tea Designs. The background stencil is Water Ripple from Gina Marie Designs. Sequins from Doodlebug Design, sentiment from Stamping Bella.

Visit the us on the Stamper's Delights Inspiration Blog to see all of the DT's amazing creations! I hope you enjoyed my project today. Don't forget to play along with our monthly challenge over on the blog too, for your chance to win. Thanks for stopping by!

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!).

Oh and as always with Time For Tea Designs - don't forget to use my discount code: T4TJENNIFER10. It will save you 10% on your order from the Time For Tea shop! Yayyyy :)

Imagine That Digistamp - August Challenge!

Good morning my dear stamping friends! I'm here today to share some inspiration for Imagine That Digistamp's "First Thursday" Challenge. That's right, the challenge is now monthly, on the ITD blog, complete with prizes!! The challenges start the first Thursday of each month and end on the last Tuesday before the new challenge begins. The theme is always Anything Goes. Click here for all the details. 

On the first and third Thursdays of each month, there will be a new inspiration post on the Creative Playground blog featuring the Design Team's projects. This is great to get your fix of ITDBK DT project postings! 

Today I've created a fun card using the Freda's Flower Basket digi set. The set contains black and white and color images, plus sentiments and papers. I've also used a paper and the sentiment from the Leesa's Tulip set to complete the project. Dies are from Gina Marie Designs - Stitched Square and Venetian Rectangle, glitter enamel dots from Doodlebug Designs.

This is a Double Twisted Easel card! How cool is that?! This is my first time making a card like this, so I used the precolored images from the set (in case my try was a fail, I didn't lose all my coloring too). I think it turned out really well and it's VERY surprisingly easy to make!! Even I was able to manage ;) I found the instruction here at Cardmaking Magic.

I'm entering this into the Petals for the Pittman's floral card fundraiser/linky contest. Check out THIS POST for all the information. I can't even imagine how difficult the family's struggle is right now. Consider checking out the awesome digi sets that have been assembled to help raise money. Jessica from Polkadot Orchard has done a mind-blowingly amazing job putting this together! I can't even share all the image photos here, there are too many!

I'm also entering this into the following challenges:

Polkadoodles Digi Choosday - Week 10: Anything Goes!

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! 

For my card today, I created a merged scene using the main image True Love over top of the tulip field background that comes with the Miss Kelly von Sweets image. I was really happy with how it turned out, creating this field of floral love! I printed the sentiment from Lil Miss Sugarpops collection as well and cut out with plain circle dies. I used a Copic fine line multiliner pen to outline the circle and then highlighted the outside before adding to the card. The frame die is Stitched, Scalloped Rectangle Frames from Gina Marie Designs. The enamel dots are Lighthouse collection from GMD as well, with the heart for good measure and some red pearl drops in there too. 

Image printed on Neenah white cardstock and colored with Copic Markers - I buy all of mine at Scrapbookpal.com for their fast shipping and awesome service. I colored the entire background with Copics as well.

I was inspired by this photo from The Paper Girls Challenge for colors on this project today. I didn't go with the pattern, but it looks like this sea of tulips I've created with all the red, pink and yellow blending together. Bright and fun!
