Loves Rubberstamps Saturday Inspiration: Wish Big!

Hello Friends!  I wanted to share a card with you all today for my Loves Rubberstamps Inspiration!  I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!

Here's my card...

This is a birthday card I made for a friend.  I have quite a few birthdays coming up so I was happy to make one this weekend and add to my birthday card stash! :)  This sweet image is called "Wish Big" and is from the Pure Innocence collection by My Favorite Things.   Isn't she so adorable?!!  I just love fairies and this stamp set is so cute!  I've had this sweet gal for some time and thought she would be fun to color up with my copic markers.   I added some stickles in "Star Dust" to her wings, wand and shoes to give her some sparkle!  I also paper pieced her outfit with some fun papers called "Here and Now" by Echo Park.  The pretty roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts.   

Here are the Supplies Used:

Wish Big (PI) - My Favorite Things

Here and Now - Echo Park

Spellbinders

Victorian Velvet - Tim Holtz Distress Ink

Black Tuxedo-Memento Ink

Copic Markers

Roses - Wild Orchid Crafts

Mono Multi Liquid Glue - Tombow

I'm entering this card in MFT's Get Sketchy Challenge #164.  Wish me luck! :)

Be sure to stop by the Loves Rubberstamps store to see the items used on my card including a huge selection of Pure Innocence images to choose from!

Also, make sure to come visit the Loves Rubberstamps Blog tomorrow for the fun "Sensational Sunday" Blog hop!

Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by!

TGF Farm Fresh Friday Challenge: A cup of some "Cafe Ian" for some Inspiration!

 

Hello Friends and Happy Friday!  Today is another Farm Fresh Friday challenge and today is a fun one! The theme this week is a Color/Inspiration photo challenge.  Here is the photo...

and here is my card...

So how about a cup of some  "Cafe Ian" for Inspiration? :) Isn't he just so cute?!!!  I love his steaming cup of hot java!  I'm not always great with inspiration challenges but what caught my eye in the photo aside from the pretty colors were the 4 pieces connected together.  Those actually reminded me immediately of my Spellbinders ornament dies!  So that's what I actually decided to use for my card and I thought they looked pretty cool next to Ian.  Guess I found another way to use those dies other than for Christmas cards! :)   The fun papers I used are by Echo Park called "This & That" and the sentiment "how've you bean?" is from an old stamp set in my stash!  Please check out The Greeting Farm blog to get the details on this challenge and to see the other "Color/Inspiration" projects from the rest of the DT gals.  Happy TGIF and thanks so much for stopping by!

Hugs,

Marcy

Loves Rubberstamps Tuesday Challenge : JJ Coffee to Go!

Hello Friends and welcome to The Loves Rubberstamps Tuesday Challenge!  Our challenge this week is a fun one that will make you smile!!!  That's because the theme is to "Use a Funny Sentiment"!

Our Fabulous sponsor this week is Bugaboo Stamps!!

 

    

Here is my card...

I had so much fun creating this card and working on this challenge!  First of all, I don't really own a lot of funny sentiments and when I saw this image called "JJ Coffee to Go" by Bugaboo Stamps, I just had to use it!  This just totally made me smile because I do love going out to get coffee every chance I get.  Also,  the sentiment is just so funny because some days when I feel like pulling my hair out from a crazy day, I would love a latte like this one! LOL  I kept my card pretty simple wanting to focus on my image and the sentiment.  The fun papers I used for the background are from  Echo Park called "Beautiful Life".  I further embellished my card with some yellow twine and rhinestones from my stash.

Here are some additional supplies used on my card:

Victorian Velvet-Tim Holtz Distress Ink

copic markers

Please check out the Loves Rubberstamps store to see supplies used on my card.  Also, check out the Loves Rubberstamps Challenge blog to see what other  projects the rest of the Design Team made.  If you want to join this fun challenge, I'll post the details below and you could have a chance to win some great prizes form the store!

Loves Rubberstamps Saturday Inspiration: A "Fall Love" Valentine's Day card!

Hi Friends and Happy Saturday!  Hope you all had a wonderful Valentine's Day yesterday with your loved ones.  I know many of you are continuing this "Sweetheart" celebration this long holiday weekend!  I know I am! :)  So with that in mine, I have a V-Day card to share with you today.

Here it is...

This sweet image is called "Fall Love" which is from the Time for Tea Collection by Whimsey Stamps!  The cute gal could really be used for any occasion but the heart on her outfit made me immediately want to use her for a V-Day card!  After coloring her up with my copic markers, I added some stickles in "Start Dust" to the heart on her pretty sweater.  For my papers, I used the fun "Love Note" collection by Fancy Pants which was perfect for this theme!  The pretty roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts.   I can never get enough of using these gorgeous flowers on my projects!  The heart doily peeking out from behind my image as well as the small pearls on the corners are from my stash.

Here are the Supplies Used:

Fall Love - Whimsey Stamps

Love Note - Fancy Pants Designs

Victorian Velvet - Tim Holtz Distress Ink

Black Tuxedo-Memento Ink

Copic Markers

Roses - Wild Orchid Crafts

Mono Multi Liquid Glue - Tombow

Oh and I wanted to also share a few more gift bags and also some gift favors I made for Valentine's Day using the We R Memory Keeper Punch boards!  These are so addicting and so easy to make!   If you saw my last post, I shared yet another gift bag and will definitely be making more! Lol I just really love how you don't need to add much since the patterned papers are already so pretty as is!  With these, I just added some die-cuts, some ribbon and voila... instant gifts! :)

Be sure to stop by the Loves Rubberstamps store to see the items used on my card including so many  cute Whimsey stamps to choose from as well as these very popular We R Memory Keeper Punch Boards! 

Also, make sure to stop by tomorrow for the "Sensational Sunday" blog hop where you can win some fun prizes!  You can also check out our "Paper Piecing" challenge still going on!

Have a wonderful Valentines and holiday weekend!

TGF Farm Fresh Friday Challenge: A "Fairest" Sweet Treat for Valentine's Day!

 

Hello Friends and Happy Valentine's Day!!! This week's theme is "Sweet Treats" and just the perfect theme for this special celebration!

Today I actually have a Valentine's gift bag featuring the cute "Fairest" and here she is...

So you might recognize this sweetie as one of the exclusive Secret Stamp Club stamps.  In fact, she is the first one and available right now at the TGF store!  I've had her for some time and so excited to finally have a chance to color her up.  Even though she's holding an apple, that's still considered a "Sweet Treat", right?!! :)  Healthy but still sweet and delicious!  I colored her up with my copics and added some stickles to her bows, shoes and even the apple for some added sparkle.  I placed her actually on the back of a Valentine's gift bag I will be giving to my goddaughter who just loves all of the Disney Princesses!  I thought "Fairest" would be cute to see on the back of some goodies!

Here's the front!

I kept it pretty simple adding just some V-Day die cuts from my stash and a bow.   I also used a decorative punch for the front and velcro for the closure.   I will be filling this up with lots of "sweets treats" for sure! :)  And this bag was actually made using the popular We R Memory Keepers Gift Bag Punch Board.  I've been so addicted to making these bags and will have more to share with you tomorrow! :)

Be sure to head over to the  TGF store to pick up "Fairest" and also visit The Greeting Farm blog to get the details on this challenge and to see the new release which Rosie and Rachel are previewing!  Happy Valentine's Day and hope you all have a sweet one! :)

Hugs,

Marcy
