Stamp and Create August Challenge

Happy Wednesday! Just a quick post from me today to share my card for the August Stamp and Create Challenge which has the theme of “One for the Girls”

I used an image from Saturated Canary that has been on my wish list for awhile now. This is Casey and I decided to go the “no lines” coloring way. There is definitely a big learning curve on this technique but I think it isn’t too bad :)

The August Challenge is:

One for the Girls
******

 

 

One random participant will win a $25 Gift Certificate to Stamp and Create.

also the sale is still on going

 

As a reminder, everything in the store is 20%-60% off!

Items will NOT be restocked so grab then at these great prices when you can!

That is it for me! Stay tuned this week as I try to catch up posting all the cute Summer cards I have created!

Stamp & Create ~ Princess Peanelope

Happy Tuesday! I thought Fall was on its way but tomorrow they are calling for a stinker of a day. 38 C with the humidex factored in. I will stay wherever it is air-conditioned….thank you.

Just want to quickly share my Stamp and Create DT make for this week with you.

I used one of the newly restocked Saturated Canary images: Princess Peanelope for my card. Love these images and this one was so much fun to color. I made it nice and bright and cut out some banners to look like bed-hangings. A few adhesive gems, and my card was done.

SKetchie for Stamp & Create

Happy Monday my lovelies! How is your Monday so far? This is the kids’ last week at school and I am scrambling to get teacher gifts prepared and get ready for my middle guy’s Grade 6 graduation. Next year high school. How did that happen?

I have had this image for a while and I finally had the chance to ink her up. Had a lot of fun with this one :)

The image is Saturated Canary's Sketchie.  If you love to color with your Copic markers, then this one is almost a must-have :) I colored the image with a combination of Copic Markers and Prisma-color pencils. Afterwards, I masked the image and stamped this Spatter background from Impression Obsession with Hero Arts Wet Cement. Then I sponged the edges with Hero Arts Tide Pool. Once the mask came off, I added some sparkle with a clear Wink of Stella pen.  I also used some Crystal Stickles on the wings.

To the top of the card I added some white wrinkled ribbon and a Sun charm tied with some twine. This just balanced the card out a little.

A two card post :)

Happy Monday everyone! It has been busy, busy in our little household with many things happening at once. One very important event was the Confirmation of our middle son. It was a beautiful ceremony and we were extremely proud of him. Lots of preparation in our home for the party afterwards and moving forward, the boys all have their music exams today. I am pretty sure they will all do well as they have been practicing up a storm. I hope the neighbours haven’t minded too much :) My eldest is leaving on a school trip and I am getting the laundry done and will have to run to get a few bits and bobs for him to take with him.

In the midst of this, I have managed a few projects……………but am behind schedule for sure. I would love to spend some quiet moments in my craft studio………hopefully soon.

For the time being, I want to share my weekly project for Stamp and Create with you. Honestly, Lacey has the best inventory of stamps and papers and ribbons! So much to choose from. This is a newly arrived stamp.

As an avid reader, this image was an absolute must-have! Paired with this sentiment from PTI, it is perfect to go into my Project Life album. The image is Saturated Canary's Reading Beauty and was colored with my beloved copics.  I added some banners made with some paper scraps from a MME paper pad and added white dots using Liquid Pearl from Ranger as well as some adhesive gemstones.

This week's new  Stamp & Create candy is:

Kitty on Swing from Gillian F Roberts/Stampavie

I also want to share my latest LLLC creation with you. We were following a theme of “Sparkle & Bling”

I used the image New Years Marci, as well as the Scallop Border die and Butterfly die. By using this lovely mauve color, I think she can be used for more occasions than just New Years. The paper is old……very old from Basic Grey. I am making a concentrated effort to use my stash :) The card fold is a Stair-Step card. Here is the video I created a while ago, that shows you how it is done:

Stamp & Create DT Card

Happy Tuesday Everyone! We are having a “snow” event at the moment. Such much snow in fact, that our school board called a snow day! What joy was seen in our little household this morning, especially since it is my middle son’s birthday! Woot! Woot! He was super excited to stay home with his brothers!

I was happy to be feeling better. Yesterday, I was sick and when I say sick, I mean stomach woes. I am glad that today I seem to have recovered :)

Anyway, I am late with this post because of feeling poorly, but here it is now!

Another Project life insert. I love this Saturated Canary Summer image. Her hair is awesome to color and lends such a carefree air to this little sweetie. I added just a few scraps of patterned paper and these gorgeous wood veneer butterflies to add some interest. I also added some liquid pearls to create the white high-light dots. They make the image pop just a little more. The sentiment is from Verve Stamps.

There are a ton of brand new stamps at the store:

New "Cling Mounted" collection called Blackberry Lane...

New Annabelle's Meadow...

New Wild Rose Studio Bunnies...

New Wild Rose Studio Teddies...

….and the weekly candy is:

 

A Good Book, Ryan's Chocolate Trouble, and Shoot the Puck from Wags 'n Whiskers

Stamp & Create ~ New Saturated Canary

Happy Monday! The week begins once again! Hope you all had a great weekend and had some time to play with your stamps and papers!

Today I am sharing my Stamp and Create project for this week. In case you didn’t hear, the store is now carrying Saturated Canary Stamps! WOOT! WOOT! They are in stock and already to be shipped out to you but better get them before they run out. In honor of this, I have used one on my card today!

I created a criss-cross pocket card to showcase this sweet image. Here is a video that I made a while back in case you want to see how to create one yourself:

I used Saturated Canary's Thank You stamp for my card. I also added some Prima Flowers, pink crochet lace, ivory wrinkled ribbon, the bow easy and a sun charm to add some extra texture and interest to the card.

This week's Stamp & Create candy is:

Apple Tag from Magnolia
