I had a bit of a crazy week and a few emergencies popped up on Friday and Saturday, so I was not able to make a new card for the hop today. However, I still wanted to participate in the hop with everyone, so here is a fun monochromatic card I made awhile back using this AWESOME cake image from Impression Obsession. This stamp is so awesome, I love the textures of the cake layers and the elegance of it (while still being fun)!

Supplies:
Impression Obsession - Layer Cake
Colored Cardstock
Memento Ink
Mono Multi (of course!)
Red Liner Tape
Dimensional Foam Dots

Loves Rubberstamps #153: Favorite Beverage with Impression Obsession!

Good morning stampers! It's Tuesday, and that means a new challenge is up over at the Loves Rubberstamps challenge blog! Challenge #153: Coffee/Tea/Favorite Beverage. There are prizes to be won, so get out your toys and play along with us! 

Here is my creation for today's challenge, using this awesome image from Impression Obsession. I have several of these fantastic and clever martini stamps, and I was so happy to see them for this beverage challenge! They have been under-utilized, and I NEED to fix that. If you haven't seen them, you NEED to check them out.  IO has some really fantastic images, and my folder of IO pretties is sitting out on my stamp table now! Be ready for more, my friends!

This is my...lounging-on-a-white-sand-beach-with-a-nice-breeze-and-lots-of-sunshine-and-waves-sipping-umbrella-(or birthday candle!!!)-drinks card. Striped towel, glittery, sparkly water... :)

Supplies:

Copic Markers (love 'em ALL!)

I also used Viva la Verve sketch #4 for May, and combined the DRS Designs color challenge with these summer fun colors (#175):

Thanks for stopping by today, I can't wait to see your creations for our sentiments challenge over at the Loves Rubberstamps challenge blog! I'll see you back here very soon with another great project to share. Happy stamping!

Let Them Eat Cake!

TGIF! How is everyone today?

I wanted to share a card I made a couple of weeks ago for one of the February Viva la Verve challenges. This one called for a monochromatic creation using this sketch layout. I went with blue, and my colors are Not Quite Navy and Baja Breeze. The stamps are a mish-mash, the main image and horizontal background piece are images from Impression Obsession, the vertical background piece is {Little Paper Shop}, and the sentiment is from Stampendous. I made the grid background with my Scor-Pal.

Not much to it, although somehow it did manage to take me forever to make! Hope you have a great weekend FILLED with stamping! Be sure to stop back tomorrow for the Unity Stamp Co. World-Record Blog Hop! I am participating!

CBC45 - Christmas!

You know what they say...Wednesday again! heehee. Well that means it's time for the Belli Challenge! If you're not familiar with the challenge, belli is short for embellishment - each week our challenge founder, Chris, chooses an embellishment or theme for us to showcase. This week is #45 and the challenge is CHRISTMAS (keyword CBC45 on Splitcoast). You can visit Chris's blog for more details and to link up your creations for a chance to win a prize and have your project spotlighted on Chris's blog! The rest of the Belli DT has inspiration for you too, and their blog links are in my left sidebar.

For my card - I knew I had to get out my new stamp from Impression Obsession. I've wanted to order from them for a long time and I finally treated myself to a couple of images, which just arrived on Monday. I stamped this Holiday Margarita in Real Red and colored it with my Copics. I added some Celery Shimmerz over the top of the drink and some Opal Shimmerz over the top of the floating gifts. I stamped the image again in black, colored and cut out the tree and added it with dimensionals. Had to put on some little rhinestones of course, and a glittery star brad. Also have some red pearls as the holly berry garnish on the right. Chunky salt glitter on the rim and viola! You can see the full-size picture with more detail by clicking on it, above. {Yeah, it's blurry once again, sorry. We haven't seen sun in several days so I don't have my perfect photo spot - gotta make do with overcast skies and incandescent lighting. I will try to retake it today if the sun comes out!}
