Design Team Project for Little Blue Button Stamps



My last card of the month for Little Blue Button Stamps is using the adorable ML fox image. I chose to use a regular A2 size white cardbase for this card. I then added a piece of patterned paper from Echo Park "A perfect summer".

I chose to die cut out the Greeting Farm fence die using my Cuttlebug and some brown patterned paper. I colored up the image using my Copic and other markers. I used E00 and E11 to color her skin. I used C5 on her tail and ears to make some contrast I just used more in some areas. I used W2, W3 and black for her dress. I colored her hair in with Bic sunset orange and R08. She was a very fun image to color in. Thanks for looking

Little Blue Button DT card



I am now a designer for Little Blue Button Stamps. I used this adorable "Miss Lily Cutie" digitial stamp from LBBS. She was super fun to color in with my Copic markers. I used a plain white card base and then added a piece of patterned paper from K&Company onto the base. I added some beautiful lace from Craftsupplies1 on etsy to the middle of my card along with a beautiful piece of ribbon that I received from my Aunt and a strip of the small flatback pearls from Craftsupplies1 on Etsy.

I colored in the super cute Miss Lily Cutie with my Copic markers and added her to the card with pop dots. I bought some chipboard glasses at Michaels and thought they would be fun to add to my images. I used my Versamark ink and then my silver embossing powder to give them a beautiful shine. I added about 3 or 4 layers of the embossing powder. Thanks for looking.

SP&Company Trends Challenge #9



The trends challenge this month is to use our dies and punches. I do love using my dies but sometimes forget about the punches. I loved this challenge. I chose a white 5 X 7 cardstock base. I added a piece of the patterned paper from Echo Park "A perfect Summer" which was the April kit of the month.


I then took a chipboard die cut piece that was given to me a RAK and is a Tim Holtz die. I took the hanger part and use some water on my non-stick craft mat along with some blue colored perfect pearls and I made a paint that I used to cover the chipboard piece. I love how it made it look metallic and gave it dimension. I then took my twine that I had gotten in a previous monthly kit from SP&Company and used it to attached the hanging sign part. I used my new pink Tim Holtz distress paint to paint the hanging part. I then used my new nesting heart dies from SP&Company to cut out some patterned paper from the same paper pack. I adhered them to the sign and then stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Happy Banners SP&Company stamp set. Thanks for looking.

SP&Company Color Combo #140



I chose to use the current color combo from SP&Company to make a Mother's Day card. I love the new Gill Roberts "Best Mom Ever" stamp set. I used a white cardstock base and cut a piece of grey and white DCWV patterned paper to put on the background. I cut out a Cheery Lynn designs doily from pink cardstock and a Label spellbinders die out of red cardstock to place behind my stamped image. I added some heart rhinestone bling to the doily where the heart shapes were cut out.

I stamped the image with my Black Memento ink and colored it in using my Copic markers. I added some Dimensional liquid glass to make the bubbles and puddle of water look more realistic. I inked around the image using the SP&Company pink flamingo chalk ink. I really love how this sets your image off and adds great color. I used a Spellbinder fancy tag die to cut out a piece of pink cardstock. I added a red pearl at the ends of the tag and stamped the Mothers Day sentiment from the "Best Mom Ever" stamp set. I also stamped one of the sentiments on the inside of the card.

Sushi Doll DT projects




I have been on the design team for SushiDolls for awhile now. If you love digital images then you need to go check out the adorable ones that Susi has for sale here. They are very reasonable at the price of only $3.00 per images and they are yours to use as many times as you would like. I love how easy digital images are to use and very fun to color.

I used the "Let's Celebrate" image. I colored her in using my Copic markers and chose a red, white, blue theme since she is holding a firework. I added some frosted lace Stickles to the white part of her dress. I cut out the Sushi image with my scalloped Spellbinders. I then took a piece of A perfect Summer Echo Park patterned paper and used my scalloped octagon Spellbinder. I like how the scalloped Octagon looks behind the scalloped circle. I added some red Versamagic chalk ink to the edges of the scalloped circle to set off the image.

The card base is a 5 X 7 white cardstock. I then adhered some striped patterned paper that I got from my scrap drawer. I adhered the scalloped Octagon on the top with the image on top of that. I then added a strip of blue washi tape to the bottom of the card. I then took some red lace that I received in a RAK and hot glued it on my card right above the washi tape. I then took some beautiful blue trim that I got from Micheals and hot glued that onto the top of the red lace.

I then took my fancy label Spellbinder die and cut out some blue cardstock. I took my Celebrate Studio G stamp and embossed it in red on the blue label. I then took 2 red Queen and Company pearls and adhered them to the very ends of the label. Thanks for looking.



This is the second card that I created using the Sushi doll image called "Maria". She is so adorable. I started out with a 5 X 7 white cardstock base. I added some beautiful patterned paper from K & Company. I added some gorgeous ribbon across the top of the card that I received from my Aunt Bev and then a strip of gorgeous butterfly washi tape that was holding a package together that I received. I cut out a Spellbinders Medallion and added that on top of the ribbon and washi tape. I made a rosette using My Favorite Things die and added a gold button to the center of it. I then placed the rosette on top of the Medallion using some foam tape.

I cut out my new Greeting Farm gate die using some black cardstock and placed on my card right above the scallops. I then colored the image using my Copics. I added some gold stickles to her crown and some blue stickles to the bodice of her dress and to the hem. I added the Maria image to the the card using foam tape. Thanks for looking.
