Cottage {Fairy Stamper}

 

Hey everyone! Happy Monday.  Today I'm sharing another project created for Fairy Stamper.  I created this scene using the Fairy Hugs Stone Wall stamp, and a number of different die cuts. 

Fairy Hugs: Stone Wall

I only used the one stamped image, but I wanted to show how well these Fairy Hugs stamps coordinate with many dies that you may already own.  One of the things I like about this particular stamp is that you can extend the wall in either direction quite easily  The stones are staggered perfectly so you can match up the ends and keep stamping.

For this project, I stamped the Stone Wall once with Distress Ink and then fussy cut it out.  The rest of this card is comprised of the following dies: Poppy Stamps (Proper Brick House), Memory Box (Puffy Clouds), Your Next Stamp (Chunky Grass), Sizzix/Tim Holtz (Funky Florals #3), and Elizabeth Craft Designs (Country Scapes-Woods 2).  

I die cut everything out of white cardstock and added color using my Copic markers. For me, this is easier than trying to coordinate different pieces of cardstock.  I also added a touch of Fairy Hugs Glitter Powder (Pixie Dust) to the flowers.  I love how the Pixie Dust takes on the color beneath it and just adds more sparkle.

Until next time,

Forever

In addition to lots and lots of glitters and embossing powder (not to mention rubber stamps), Sparkle N Sprinkle also carries chipboard from Want 2 Scrap.  I don't use much chipboard in my projects as I mainly create cards and I associate chipboard with scrapbook layouts.

I wanted to challenge myself to change this notion.  I started out by using the digi version of Happily Ever After so that I could alter the size of it.  Bridal glitter was added to the veil and Sparkling Snow glitter was added to the bouquet.  I also decide to use one of the soon to be released Neon Glitters Exhilarated! (a bright green).  This was added to the groom's vest and tie as well as the ribbon on the bride's bouquet.

This is also the color I decided to use on the "Forever" chipboard element.  I used the Glueless Glitter technique to adhere the neon glitter to the chipboard.  As you can see in the photo, it turned out a little darker than it did on the rest of the card.  In order to alleviate this, you can first heat emboss White embossing powder onto the chipboard and then add the color of your choice.

To finish off this CAS card, I added 1/8" Tear-ific Tape around the edges and applied more Exhilarated! neon glitter.

Wonder which Designer contains the Grand Prize this month?

For today's reveal, I've chosen Ellie's Dance Lesson and colored her with Copic markers.  Touches of Mystical Mauve glitter was added to the waistband, headband and her toenails, as well as to the mouse's tutu.  A small dot of dimensional glue was added to the centers of the flowers on her head band and then covered in Lavender Iris glitter.

After die cutting the image using the Spellbinders Labels Four die, it was adhered to a panel of Mon Ami Gabby Silver Diamond Mesh.  The photo doesn't really do just to the sparkle that this panel adds to the card.  It's also light weight enough that it doesn't make the card feel heavy at all.

The two solid color flowers were hand cut in a spiral shape and rolled up to create the flowers.  The center flower is a Sizzix die (Flowers, 3D) that I die cut.  The "leaves" are actually a tree die from Memory Box (Small Adler Tree) that I cut off various parts and adhered to the back of the flowers.

I'm the last stop on the Oct 1 New Reveal Blog Hop. I hope you've enjoyed it and have gotten lots of inspiration.  Don't forget to leave each of us a comment for your chance to win the grand prize of all six of the stamp sets released this month.

Fanny Thanks

Welcome to the Wednesday Inspiration Challenge from Dude Time Doodles.  Our sponsor this week is Graphicat Designs and the winner will receive a Sushi sentiment set.  Here's our inspiration board:

Now, if you don't celebrate Thanksgiving, you can also get inspiration from the colors, the sentiments, the animals; whatever inspires you from this picture.

I've chosen holidays and am using Fanny Thanks to create a mini album (from a Maya Road chipboard album I've had for quite a while)  for all those fun holiday photos that revolve around eating (you know, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter).  All the papers are Graphic 45 (Domestic Goddess) and everything is paper pieced except for Fanny's hair, skin and the turkey, which are colored with Copic markers.  The oval frame is from Cheery Lynn Designs.  The rose was created with G-45 paper and the Rose Creations dies from Spellbinders.

You'll have one week to upload your creation based on the Inspiration board to the Dude Time Doodles challenge blog. Be sure to visit the rest of the Dudes/Dudettes to see their take on this challenge.

Jiggy Goes to the Pool

It's still hot here - very hot!  What better way to cool down than splashing in a pool?  That's exactly what Jiggy thought too.  Jiggy Goes to the Pool is from Stamping Dragon Designs and he's colored with Copic markers and a little bit of Creative Inspirations Paints (Mellow Yellow) mixed with Stickles (Waterfall).  This mixture was painted on his wings and horns, giving them a greenish, blue tint with texture.

Since Jiggy loves the water, I made a pop up card using my Sizzix die (Card, Scallop Circle 3d Pop Up) just for him to splash around the water in.  I distressed the edges using a distressing tool.

You still have time to enter the Stamping with the Dragon challenge going on, so don't wait too much longer.
