Terrific Tuesday is here again at One Crazy Stamper, and this is my last card for this month's "Love is in the Air" challenge. This week I finally got to color an image from a stamp company I had never bought from before.

This is "You and Me Boy" from Morehead Stamps, one of the newest companies that Lora has brought into the store. The image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Copic Xpress It cardstock, then colored with Copics and Prismacolor pencils blended out with Gamsol. I used the Copic Colorless Blender Pen to give his shirt a plaid pattern, which is an easy but very effective technique - just color the shirt as you normally would, then use the Colorless Blender pen to remove the color to make the lines. The Colorless Blender pen is not for blending as you can easily see, but instead is Copics answer to the eraser.

Here's a closer look at the lines that were created with the Colorless Blender -

The image was cut with Spellbinders Label 21, the sentiment is an oldie from Waltzingmouse, and jute string was wrapped around the front to finish the card.

Today is the last day to enter the challenge to win the monthly prize, so finish up that last minute project and enter!!

You're My Top Dog!

2012-02-27T09:55:00.001-07:00

Happy Monday! Today for One Crazy Stamper I'm sharing some Inky Antics stamps and HoneyPop goodness! This set is called Baking Pup.

I colored my image with PrismaColor Pencils and Gamsol for a soft and mellow look. I paired the images up with My Mind's Eye designer paper, seam binding and some Candi.

The surprise comes when you open the card and a fun honeypop element opens! In this case, an adorable puppy treat!

I added some colorful papers to the inside of my card and did some fussy cutting...but if that is not your thing, they are adorable when you just stamp them on the inside of the card as well.

Have you tried out HoneyPop papers?! They are much fun....I'll be sharing more samples and a tutorial with you soon!

MFT--Fighting 50

2012-02-25T00:46:00.002-07:00

Hi All,

Well I have had some major technical problems this week! Monday my laptop slipped off my desk and I did catch it before it full hit the ground BUT it jarred the hard drive and created a disk error. It now takes 45 minutes to turn my computer on and load windows. As a blogger I use my computer a lot, as a student it is like an extra arm so we tried everything to save it and it went bye-bye! So Wednesday night we went to purchase a new laptop hopefully one that will last longer then 11 months unlike the last one. This is my 3rd laptop purchase in 4 years. So we made it count and I got a beauty of a laptop. It is top of the line and pretty much is one of the best out there. Of course with my clumsiness my hubby was sure to purchase one of those accident protection plans and he got the max so I am covered for 3 years if I drop it, break it, crack the screen, and pretty much everything else I can possibly do to the thing.

An example of how cursed I am with electronics is a few years ago I was holding my MP3 player and I touched metal. Well, I had so much static electricity built up that the shock actually surged my MP3 player and fried it. So the reason for this long winded story is why my picture is not watermarked because for the past 2 days we have been slooooowwwwlllllyyyyy getting data off of my old laptop and putting it on our external hard drive.

I have a 50th surprise party to go to in a few weeks and I thought this Fight Like a Girl A La Mode by My Favorite Things would make a FUN birthday card. I used my snap together alphabet to create the saying. I also used the large circle and large scalloped circle nesties. I also used sew easy floss for the button.

Golfing in February

2012-02-24T01:03:00.000-07:00

Our Challenge this month at One Crazy Stamper is Love.

Yes, and I love to be able to play golf in February in New England.

I played nine holes on Wednesday and it was fabulous to be out there swinging the golf club.

Love this new stamp from Art Impressions: Golden Oldies available at One Crazy Stamper.

I stamped my golfing lady with Memento Tuxedo black ink unto Xpress It cardstock. Then I colored this lady with the copics pictured below.

I created the grass with a Martha Stewart border punch. I added some pearls (let's pretend they're golf balls) for embellishments.

Not a card but my project uses paper

2012-02-23T03:01:00.001-07:00

I’m mixing it up today on the OCS blog to show you a crafty project I recently completed. Ever since I saw a cluster of the alphabet in Pottery Barn’s magazine I’ve wanted to do my own version. Fast forward a couple of years and I finally got around to doing this project. We recently rearranged bedrooms in our house so this left me freshly painted walls to decorate. After I collected all the letters, I was ready to start!
I had to dig through my stash and find some really fun printed papers. Most of these happen to be October Afternoon papers…one of my favorite paper companies! I used Modge Podge to adhere the paper to the letter. I painted the rest of the letters and made a few of them special. The “Z” is chalk board paint and the “R” has Viva Decor Pearls on it.

View Full Album

I really like the way this project turned out and the kids love it too. My mini 2 year old munchkin points and starts singing the alphabet when she sees this.
Have you recently finished a project that you love? I’d love to hear about it.

Stampless Card

2012-02-22T01:01:00.003-07:00

Hi all, Madge here for another Wonderful Wednesday! All is well on the home front – my little Michou has rallied around and is back to normal. Thank you to all who the emailed me of concern. Everyone who knows me personally, know how much I love that little furry cuddle-bug.
I’ve chosen to do a “stampless” card today. [ Oops, I lied – there are two stamps used on it – one for the inside and one for the back.] When I noticed that OCS was carrying the Marianne dies, I was over the moon! So today I’m showcasing a Marianne Creatable die called, Elegant Lady , along with Spellbinders oval and scalloped oval die. I started with the die cut and made it into a cameo by placing it onto a white oval (added color to the cut out) and matted it with a black scalloped oval, to which I added pearls made with my Ice White Viva Decor pen. The die is so elegant, that I thought I would make it look like a picture covered with glass – so I used Ranger Glossy Accents to cover the cameo. “Gorrjussss”!!! Looks like a little framed picture.

I LUV making different folds for cards – this one is a vertical flap over a regular ( 41/4" x 11" - scored in half) card base, which allows me to leave a private message, but also allows the card to be displayed in an upright position. With all the beautiful die cut borders and border punches available at OCS, I chose a MS border punch b/c I had it handy on my crafting desk. I used Broken China TH distress ink to distress the edges and added some flowers and a trendy, large Organza Ribbon Bow. The flowers are from here, and here. The flap is held in place with a little black photo tab and brad (from stash).

Here is a look at the inside flap of the card.

And the back.

Until next time – take care

Lovely Kissy!!!

2012-02-21T01:30:00.000-07:00

One Crazy Stamper's Terrific Tuesday is upon us again - it's my turn to show you some of the wonderful items available both online and at the store.

Here's Kissy by Mo Manning for Stamping Bella!!!!!

Doesn't she look just like the typical Prima dona waiting for her accolades!!

The image was stamped with Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Copic Xpress It paper. I colored her with Copic sketch markers and Prismacolor pencils, then highlighted the rubies in her crown, on her slippers and around the sentiment with Stickles Christmas Red. Although you can't see it on the photo her sash and crown shimmer with the addition of Sakura's Stardust pen. The dp, frame and seam binding were distressed with Tim Holtz's Vintage Photo Distress Ink. The designer paper is from the Pretty in Pink collection from Glitz, the flower is from Prima, and the frame is from Spellbinders ( it's an oldie but goodie ).

Be Mine

Hi All!

It seems like every week gets busier and busier and I wish I could add a few more hours each day just to stamp! I see soooo many cute ideas out there but there is just not too much extra time! I had a little bit of time today to play and I had to pull out some fun, bright colors!

I love this My Favorite Things A La Mode Talk Nerdy to Me! It can be used for soooo many different occasions and I love when I can use a single stamp for different purposes! These stamps are also soooo much fun to color!

Hope you have a wonderful week!

2012-02-17T01:00:00.000-07:00

I cut her out with Spellbinders Label 8 die.

“Hands Up” by Nellie Snellen

2012-02-15T02:02:00.001-07:00

Hi all, Madge here for a wonderful Wednesday – following Shari’s Terrific Tuesday card (which was really terrific).

I’m a little distressed today as I had a rough night last night with my little Michou (13-yr old Shih Tzu / Poodle cross). He was having some problems and needed out every half hour all through the night. Needless to say, I kept a close eye on him all day – which makes me very cranky. Worse than having a sick child – at least a child will point to where they are hurting. We will have to keep an eye on him for a couple of days to see if it continues – which will probably mean X-rays / blood tests / etc. etc. if he doesn’t improve. He’s been my best little bud for 13 yrs – used to sit under my desk at work :) He was great at being the official greeter at the office. Anyway my card will be simple – with the explanation to follow.

I’ve chosen to highlight one of Nellie Snellen’s delightful dress-up kids at play called “Hands Up” from the Young Rebel series. I’ve been on a mission lately to use some old techniques and to use up supplies that I haven’t looked at for awhile (and some of my favorites) – and here they are:

Technique: Paper Tearing & Z-fold card.

Supplies: Bo bunny papers, gold seed beads (for sand) Tombow glue (to attach beads); twine , crackle accents to strengthen the anchor cut from c/s, Copic Markers; X-press It Blend c/s; Pearl Pen (Ice White)) (for seashells); Can anyone guess what i used for the lettering and the sea shells?? . . . . . . . . split pea soup mix . . . . . kinda fun poking through a whole package to find the correct letters!! My 110 Copic Marker was used to highlight them. I also drew on the paper to give the illusion of a pirate’s map.

Well, that’s it for this week. Hope your significant other treated you well for Valentine’s Day. I know mine did! (unbeknownst to him . . . lol).

‘Til next time -

Sassy Bling Baby!!

2012-02-14T01:00:00.000-07:00

Happy Valentines Day everybody, I hope that you are all spending the day with your special someone!!

It's Terrific Tuesday here at One Crazy Stamper which means it's my turn to shine, so without further ado, may I present the fabulous Bling Baby from Whimsy Stamps Kenny K collection!!!!

This sassy little lady was stamped with Memento ink onto Xpress It paper, then colored with Copics. Labels 14 from Spellbinders was used to cut the image out, then the edges were inked with a Brilliance Starlight Silver Dew Drop ink pad, and mounted on metallic silver paper. The front of the card was made by stamping Street Art from Whimsy Stamps Backgrounds collection with Versa Mark. and embossing with white embossing powder. To give the card and sentiment a silver glow I used Delta Sheer Silver Glaze over both ( the things you find when looking for something else in your stash!!!! ). The sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps Film Strip Sentiments and there is a matching die to cut it out. The edge of the card has a punched border of hearts cut from silver metallic paper using a Martha Stewart punch.

The theme this month here at OCS is LOVE IS IN THE AIR and you still have two weeks to enter the challenge for your chance to win, so check out the rest of this blog and the creative talents of the design team members, then get creative and enter!!

Hi All!

It feels like forever since I have posted! I am keeping this a little short because there wasn't much to this project! I ended up giving away the first January Page I did and I made another one for myself. Although I don't have very many pictures for January so I need to get better at taking photos!

I used the adorable Kraftin Kimmie Stamp Eva. She is sooooo much fun to color and was a had to have once I saw her on the One Crazy Stamper Store site! She is just so SASSY!

Hope you all have a wonderful week!

Happy Stamping,

Tilda with Candy Cone

2012-02-08T06:56:00.001-07:00

Hi all for another wonderful Wednesday – looks like a Frosty Friday outside here in the Okanagan Valley. We’ve this spectacular thick frost coating all the tree branches and when the sun hits it it is absolutely amazing.

Today I’ve chosen another Magnolia stamp called Tilda with Candy Cone – available at OCS. I’ve had this image colored for a while – but hadn’t gotten an idea of what I wanted to do with her. I was poking through some DSP’s and found a piece of SU, that seemed to fit in perfectly. I have one of the most wonderful SU demo’s and we had just done a couple of unique folded cards – this is not one of them, but the other cards gave me an idea of something that could be done differently. It is a card within a card.

Materials used: Magnolia Stamp – Tilda with Candy Cone; Xpress It blend c/s; Copic Markers; Memento Tuxedo black ink; Doohicky border dies; Shrinky Dink (hearts); Marianne Creatable die; White pearl hearts (died red with Copic marker). Misc. C/S from stash.

Hope you will join us in the Feb. Challenge at OCS which is “Love is in the Air”. Love to see what you create and gives us a way to drop in on your blog to visit.

A Pencil and a Dream

2012-02-05T03:33:00.000-07:00

I REALLY love this sentiment on my card. It kind of gives me chills if I really sit and think about it. It applies to so many things..drawing, inventing, math, a speech. But the first thing I thought of was writing, as in a book. I love to read and often sit and wonder how the author came up with the ideas for their book. It’s inspiring

The word I chose for myself for 2012 is WRITE. I believe the idea for the word of the year originated from Ali Edwards blog? Did you choose a word for 2012? I have so many things I want to write. Funny stories about my kids, childhood memories, and stories I’ve made up.

And I love this image from MFT. I made this card for my daughter’s teacher for Valentine’s Day. The papers are from October Afternoon.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look!

I’m gonna be honest, I’m not really a cat person. But who wouldn’t love this sweet Belles N Whistles image. I know a little girl who loves kitty’s and this image is just perfect for her. So this is her Valentine’s Day card from me :) I had fun coloring her up with my copics and adding this fun border with my Viva Decor Pens. My papers are from My Mind’s Eye.

So, what I want to know is… are you more of a cat person or a dog person?

Grandma's Doilies

2012-01-29T06:00:00.003-07:00

Hi Everyone! It seems that winter has finally come to the Brampton/Bolton area of Ontario today as it is blowing snow and very windy.

Hope everyone has had fun playing along with the Whimsy stamps and One Crazy Stamper blog hop that started Friday, January 27th. As two prize winners (a stamp set and matching die each) will be chosen on Monday, January 30 there is still time to play along.

For my post today, I have used a border and center set called Grandma's Doilies from Just Rite Stamps. I have used a combination of copic markers and Sakura Gelly Roll Stardust Glitter Pens.

Supplies used:

Fight Like a Girl-MFT

2012-01-28T14:40:00.000-07:00

I am sooooo sorry I am late today with this post! his week has been INSANE! I started a a local University this week and I planned on taking care of all last minute details on Monday. Oil change, grocery shopping, looking at the map of the HUGE campus to figure out where to park and to figure out where my classes were located. While at the dealership waiting for the car to be completed I was passing time on Facebook and I saw a post about the university welcoming students back for the first day of classes. WHAT?!? School started on Tuesday it was marked IN INK on my calendar I was all planned out! I called the University and NOPE classes actually started that day. OH MY! So My car was completed and I rushed home and through a few things in my backpack and ran out the door to drive to school (about an hour away) and it really was a sink or swim moment for me! I was about 15 minutes late for my first class and 20 minutes late for my second class and it was a VERY insane day. I really hit the ground running and feel like I haven't stopped since!
OK so that has been my crazy week and that is why I am late posting!

Here is my card featuring the fight like a girl a la mode by My Favorite Things. his is just a simple card! I made this for a friend of mine that will be celebrating a year in remission on Tuesday.

I hope you guys a have a fabulous upcoming week and you still have a few days left to enter in this months challenge! We have a new challenge on Wednesday!

Happy Stamping!

Ellie Loves to Ski

2012-01-25T14:28:00.002-07:00

Hi, Madge here for another Wonderful Wednesday. This week the thermometer has climbed and I’m not feeling like such a bear. In fact, I’ve chosen a stamp from YNS (Your Next Stamp) featuring Ellie Loves to Ski.

I started by stamping the image onto Copic Xpress Blend it cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, colored it with copics, and cut it into an oval to fit over the Spellbinders largest Lacey Oval die. The DP’s are from Bo Bunny “Gift of Love” collection. I used SU cardstock to layer the card and for a card base.

The trees are from a previous project. They were embossed with white on white, then I added 3 tones of green copics. I dabbed on white Embossing Paste and sprinkled it with Glitter Ritz Cool Tone while it was still wet.

For the metallic looking goggles, I used a very favorite Sakura Stardust Pen – they don’t dry out and last forever. (No need to buy different colors – as the sparkle turns any color to sparkle……They are the Greatest!!

So that is it for another Wednesday – hope everyone is well and taking time to do a little stamping. On Friday, stay tuned for a joint Blog Hop with our friends from Whimsy Stamps and our OCS Design Team. It should be lots of fun . . . . . and it will showcase the Whimsy January 2012 New Releases. Be sure to join in on the fun!
Rubber hugz,

Fred Bear the Snow Bear

2012-01-24T04:36:00.001-07:00

My last post this month for the challenge here at OCS, and as a reminder of the theme of the challenge this month my card is RED/WHITE and the color of my choice, black.

My card features a My Favorite Things stamp entitled "Fred Bear, Snow Bear" one of my favorite images from MFT. As usual the image was stamped on Copic Xpress It blending paper with Memento ink and colored with Copic Sketch Markers. The red cardstock and the snowflake were embossed in my Cuttlebug with embossing folders, and the snowflake was inked and glitttered. The Snow Buddies sentiment was handwritten with Art Glitter Designer Dries Clear Adhesive and Metal tip, then both the sentiment and the snowflakes were glittered with the Cool Highlights Glitter Ritz.

Chillin' With My Friends ~ Shaker Card Tutorial

2012-01-23T00:01:00.002-07:00

Today I'm sharing a tutorial on Shaker Cards for One Crazy Stamper.

For my card I used Chillin' With My Friends stamp set from Kraftin Kimmie Stamps.

Scor-Tape, Copic Markers, Glitter.

My tip: Recycle acetate from your packaging for your windows!

Tip #2: Angling the tape in the corners helps reduce the amount of glitter used and helps seal your seams so you don't sprinkle glitter when you shake your card!

I attach my taped layer over my image panel/glitter on a craft mat to avoid things sticking where they should not stick!

Then simply finish your card as you wish! I embellished my card with a Martha Stewart Icelandic Snowflake Punch.

Have a Jolly Good Day!!!

2012-01-22T06:00:00.003-07:00

It's time for my Sunday post here at OCS. I have used another amazing stamp from Kraftin' Kimmie called Elaine.

Supplies used:

Stamp: Elaine and sentiment (Kraftin' Kimmie)
Ink: Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black
Paper: X-Press It Blending Cardstock, Cardbase -- Whitewash Collection (Core'dinations), DP -- Enchanted (BoBunny) and Sugar Dot (BoBunny)

2012-01-21T12:40:00.000-07:00

It has been such a busy, busy week here! I enjoyed my vacation so much from school but this last week I have been making sure I have everything ready to be able to start school this next week. It is hard to get back into school mode! I have been enjoying being a bit lazy and I cleaned my stamp area.

Part of my vacation has been working ahead. And I mean WAY ahead! I have my images colored for all design team projects through March!. and I've had my January projects completes since the first week. I am putting this in print because this is the FIRST time that has ever happened. This is usually my intention all the time though :)

OK so for this weeks project:

If you couldn't tell I am completely IN LOVE with this MFT A LA MODE! I have used this for a welcome baby, a seasons greeting and a get well soon card! It really comes down to the sentiment so have fun with all the different images! I layered this a lot and stamped the bear twice. once on copic paper to color and the other on Cosmo Cricket Design Paper for the bow and I used pop dots to layer it all. the twill ribbon, brads and dies are all from my stash!

Enjoy!

The Red Queen

2012-01-20T03:35:00.000-07:00

I am just loving these new stamps from Kraftin Kimmie available at One Crazy Stamper. This is the Red Queen. I stamped her with Memento Black ink onto Express It card stock and colored her with copics: R20, R22, R24, R29, C5, C7, C9. I placed white dots with a white Ultra Fine Posca Paint marker along the border of her dress. Then I cut her out and layered her onto a die cut. I added a lime green accent ribbon.

Uptown Girls Calendar Page

2012-01-14T00:46:00.002-07:00

Hi all! I was at one of the big chain stores over the holidays and they had a bunch of 2012 calendars and these 12x12 picture frames. I thought it would be a cute idea to make a calendar page for each month and then I can write any info on the calendar. My plan is take photos throughout the month and do a 2 page layout following each month. I thought this would be an abbreviated version of that Project life I have been seeing everywhere. Before I commit to documenting weeks and days I need to see if I can do a short month in a view first.

I used the super adorable Uptown Girls by Stamping Bella. I colored them in and cut them out. I then Tsukineko Shimmer Spritz! OMGosh am I in love with this stuff. I use a lid to an old shoe box and spritz away. there is sooooo much glittah and bling in one little spritz. It seriously made my heart sing with joy!

Hope you enjoyed this weeks project!!!

Sophia

2012-01-13T03:23:00.001-07:00

Our challenge this month at One Crazy Stamper is red, white and one more color.

I went with red. white and pink, which seems to be a current theme.

I love these new stamps by Kraftin Kimmie. This gal is called Sophia. I colored her with copics:

R29, R24 and R22. E11, E1000 and R02, C7, C5 and C3.

I cut my focal image with a large oval nestie and layered it unto a scalloped nestie.

I added a wide red, white and pink gingham ribbon with a large rhinestone.

Join in the fun at our red, white plus one color challenge at the

One Crazy Stamper Blog!

Fabulous

2012-01-12T03:19:00.000-07:00

I wanted to show you a card today using a Stampaive stamp from the OCS store. I paired it with some Echo Park paper.And I used some Stickles on her boots, belt, and headband cause she really looked so wonderfully dressed that I thought she needed to sparkle a bit too :)

I think I need some pink sparkly boots, but I’m not sure where I’d wear them too?!

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look!

Tilda Sparkles

2012-01-11T01:01:00.000-07:00

Hi All for another Wonderful Wednesday! Today I’ve chosen a Magnolia Stamp called Tilda Sparkles available at OCS.

A very dear friend is having a Birthday near the end of the month and I decided to do another “book card”.

While we were away at Christmas I found some Hershey Nuggets (which I couldn’t find for my other Christmas book cards ….grrrr). To dress the nuggets, I made a wrapper for each of them by using a scalloped border punch, distressing the edges and adding a glittered snowflake (randomly).

Here is a close up of Tilda Sparkles.

Supplies used: Copic Xpress It Blend Cardstock, Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, Copic Markers, TH Antique Linen Distress Ink, TH Stormy Sky Distress Ink (still my fave), Zig 2-way glue pen, Glitter Ritz "Sand" and Glitter Ritz “Cool Highlights” , Flowers from OCS, MS Border Punch, SU Border Punch, Paper from Stash, SU Snowflake die, Pearl Snowflakes from stash.

My friend has a sparkling personality so I wanted to give this card lots of sparkle – and sparkle it does! ()

I have made a special envelope box for this – and it will be hand delivered!

Have a wonderful day – take time to create. ~ Rubber hugs ~

Pink Ice !!

2012-01-10T04:45:00.007-07:00

Welcome to my next card highlighting the theme for this month's challenge - RED/WHITE + ONE OTHER COLOR OF YOUR CHOICE. I choose the gorgeous Magnolia Ice Tilda to color for this card, and made it into a slider card so that she could glide across the pink ice!

The image was stamped on Copic Xpress It paper with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, colored with Copic Sketch Markers and then fussy cut. The pink glittered background papers edge was punched with a Martha Stewart Around the Page punch, snowflakes are dies from Cheery Lynn, sentiment is a LOTV, and the ribbon and snowflake button are from my stash. The pearls that highlight the sentiment and the border of the card were made with the Ice White Viva Decor pearl pen.

You have until the end of the month to enter the challenge for a chance to win a Craft Lounge stamp set!

Ellie's Warm Winter Wishes~

2012-01-09T00:01:00.007-07:00

I just had to color up Ellie Loves to Knit from Your Next Stamp again! You can find Ellie and lots of her pals at One Crazy Stamper.

I colored her up with Copic Markers and then cut her out leaving a small narrow border. I matched her to the KaiserCraft collection called Bubblegum Hills. This collection is fun because it has fun die cut borders such as the one on the bottom of this card.

My embellishment on this card is a snowflake rosette made with Honeycomb paper from Inky Antics. Lora has some on the way....so be sure to keep your eye peeled! This stuff is fun, both in it's traditional use on HoneyPop cards and as fun borders and rosettes such as this!

Winter Fairy Wishes!!

2012-01-04T01:00:00.006-07:00

Hello Everyone!!

I have some Winter Fairy wishes for you today. Winter Fairy is from Whimsy and I'm so in love with all the Wee Stamps, they are just fantastic. I made this card several weeks ago for my Mom..she was quite tickled to receive it in the mail. I had not had the chance to blog it yet because I kept selling out of the stamp in the store. I really love working with monochromatic colours and the new collection from Basic Grey called Little Black Dress was the perfect choice for me to work with.

If you are looking for all the colours and the rest of the details for this card I have them up on my personal blog at http://www.onecrazystamperblog.com/

Cheers,

Jump start on next years cards!

2012-01-03T03:02:00.000-07:00

I realize Christmas has passed, but I had this super sweet Whimsy image all colored up so I thought “why not get a jump start on next years cards!?” haha

I used my copics to color this image up and added some twine and viva decor pearls to my card…simple and sweet.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look!

Porky's Bacon...

2011-12-29T03:01:00.000-07:00

I used this wonderful Whimsy Stamp called Into The Farm for my card. I love the Echo Designs from Whimsy Stamps, especially the vintage ones. I only used part of this stamp and the rest of it is, just as wonderful as this part. I love anytime I can add a masculine or neutral card to my stack cause it seems that I NEVER have a boy card when I need one.

Just a reminder, you have another day or two to enter our "Winter/Christmas" themed challenge for a chance to win a fabulous prize!!!

Tilda with Christmas Snow Heart

2011-12-28T01:49:00.000-07:00

Today was not a good day weather-wise to drive home, so I’m finding myself about 400 km from home separated by bad weather over the pass. I have a very quick post for today using anoher one of my favorite Magnolia images called Tilda with Christmas Snow Heart, available at one Crazy Stamper.com.

Supplies used: White Xpress it, Tuxedo Black Memento ink; Copic markers; Spellbinders Lacey Ovals; Bo Bunny DP, Cherry Cobbler Ribbon and Cardstock.

This front was made into a card box with a hidden surprize of chocolate bar and cash. (see previous post)….

See you in the new year.\

Looks Like Another Christmas Card!!!

2011-12-27T04:27:00.002-07:00

I know this looks like yet another Christmas card, but I think this cute little fairy elf is having a long deserved nap, after getting through another busy holiday season!!

It's time again, to show you my card for One Crazy Stamper's Winter/Christmas theme challenge this month. The image is from Whimsy Stamps Crissy Armstrong's stamp collection, and is called "Christmas Dreaming". It was stamped with Versa Fine Onyx Black ink onto watercolor paper, then painted with Distress Ink re-inkers and a Pentel Aquash Water brush. The wings were covered with clear glue and Glitter Ritz Cool Highlight micro fine glitter. After fussy cutting the image, I popped it up with EK Success 3D Foam dots, and adhered it to the embossed piece of cardstock. MME's Lime Twist twine was wrapped around this layer, and two tags with a handwritten message finish the card front.

You still have a few days to enter the One Crazy Stamper December challenge to win a great prize.

MFT Christmas Bear

2011-12-24T00:17:00.000-07:00

Hi All!

Can you believe Christmas is already here!?!? I swear it was just summer and we are already a week away from 2012. I hope everyone is finding some time to get crafty during all of the holiday rush!

For today's card I slid in one more Christmas card for the season! I love these a la modes stamps from My Favorite Things. They are so easy to stamp (a crisp, clean impression on the first try!) and super fun to color and the images have bold lines which makes it easy to paper piece (I did that to the bear). I also used some of the fun Lime Twist Twine! The paper is from My Minds Eye!

Hope you all have a wonderful holiday and see you in the new year!

Your Next Stamp and Die Set

2011-12-23T02:52:00.000-07:00

I just got to play with this new Happy Holidays stamp and die set from Your Next Stamp available at One Crazy Stamper.

It is so much fun to use.

First you make a template from the dies.

then you stamp your images.

Line up your template over your stamped images and trace the circles.

Now all you have to do is line up the die with the traced circles and you have perfectly cut images every time with the coordinating dies.

Wishing you Fairy Dreams!!

Tilda with Cross Stitched Heart

2011-12-21T03:49:00.003-07:00

Hi all, Madge here for another Wonderful Wednesday! Are you all ready for that Magical Day of the Year?? I’m not . . . . but still have a day before we leave for the holidays. . . . . . DH says, we have to make a break for it when the weather is good! The pass that we go over is quite bad in the winter – and storms come in at the drop of a hat.
I’m so enchanted with Magnolia Stamps and so I’ve chosen to showcase one of the Christmas Darling’s called “Tilda with Cross-stitched heart”. She is just so sweet, sitting with her lantern in the snow.
I stamped the image onto Copic Xpress-It Blend C/S with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored her with Copic Markers. Cut her out, added 3D tape and plunked her cute little bottom onto a strip of rolled wide Seam Binding to keep her warm…….. lol. I then added a bow to add some dimension and Stickles on her Heart X Stitch, and accents on the papers. I also sponged the papers with Tim Holtz Tea Dye Distress Ink.
The papers I used are from the 25 Days of Christmas Collection available at OCS. Love the vintage look.

Now for the inside......... I have made this a box card with treats hidden behind a removable acetate sleeve with a sentiment on it.

I wish you all, a Very Blessed and safe Merry Christmas. May you spend time with family and loved ones.

For a little extra Holiday Magic go to the One Crazy Stamper Blog, there is still time to enter.

Santa's On His Way!!!

2011-12-20T04:52:00.058-07:00

Welcome to another Tuesday at One Crazy Stamper and my card for this months challenge theme of Winter/Christmas.

I was so happy when Lora started carrying the Impression Obsession Stamps at OCS as the detail in these stamps is absolutely amazing, and this image is no exception. This is Santa's Bridge which I stamped on watercolor paper with Versa Fine Onyx Black ink, and then colored using a Pental Aquash Water Brush and several colors of Tim Holtz's Distress Re-inkers. You can use your Tim Holtz Distress Ink pads for this technique as well, by just pushing down on the center of the lid of your ink pad, and then using the droplets of color on the inside of the lid. I have always used a palette that I created out of a list of the 36 colors of distress inks and a sheet of acrylic, and I have now added the new Tim Holtz Ink Palette to my collection, and I love the fact that you can just close the lid and save your colors for the next project ( see photo below ).

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and all the best in the New Year!!!

Don't forget to enter the challenge for your chance to win!

I had the chance to play with this new Kraftin Kimmie stamp again. This time I paired it with some of my favorite October Afternoon papers. This card and stamp brought a big smile to my little guys face. He LOVES dogs. When he sees a card I've made that he really likes he asks "whose that for?" I think I need to start a book for him with all the cards that he LOVES. :)

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look!

Smooching Birdies

2011-12-14T02:52:00.000-07:00

My heart melts whenever I watch the birds in our back yard in the bird feeders in the snow. These cute little birdies are no exception – Winter Birdhouse from Stampavie. image is available at OCS (Your complete online store.)

They are “smooching” birdies, because in my hurry to add “smooch”, I dropped a hair laden with smooch onto the top of my paper…..which led to me taking a layer of paper off to remove the color…..so then I added some TH distress ink (stormy sky) and topped it with some white StazOn. So my birdies are enduring “stormy” weather.

What did we ever do without “Smooch”, Glaze On, Stickles, - they make adding glitz and glitter to a card so easy….What did we ever do without Copic Markers??

I colored this image a while back using Xpress It white, Memento Tuxedo Black ink and for the few times I actually matched the copics to the paper (from stash) I chose.

Copic Markers used:

Bow: R17; R14; R46; R29; R59 (Glaze On)

Birds: C4; C7'; B91; R32 Y00

Greenery: G07; G28; YG03 (smooch)

Bird House: C00; C1; C4; C9 (Stickles)

. . . . . . . . and here is the inside . . . . . . . . . . . . . I used a Hero Arts Clear stamp and colored it with copics and stickles.

Thank you for taking your busy time of the year to take a peek. May all of you have a safe and blessed Christmas with your loved ones.

Until next week. ~ rubber hugz ~

Are they called a Herd?

2011-12-13T03:26:00.002-07:00

I'm not sure if a group of reindeer are called a herd or not, but here's my interpretation of three of Santa's special friends getting ready for the big day, and my card for this month's challenge theme of Winter/Christmas.

Your Next Stamp has adorable images and this is Happy as a Reindeer, stamped and masked on Copic Xpress It paper with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, and colored with Copics. The colored image and the red mat were both torn and inked, then mounted on designer paper from Fancy Pants Saint Nick collection. The reindeers harnesses and the red stripes were all highlighted with the Chrome Silver Pearl Pen from Viva Decor, and textured snow was added with White Liquid Applique.

Ready, Set, DUCK!

2011-12-12T00:09:00.001-07:00

Tee, hee! Today's card just makes me grin! The image is called Ready, Set, DUCK! and is by Whimsy.

I colored my gal with the following Copic Markers: E47, E44, E02, E00 BG49, BG45, B00, R35, R32. I fussy cut her out leaving myself a *snowbank* at the bottom of the image.

For the background, I embossed my background panel with an Embossing Folder and then distressed it with some Tim Holtz Snowcap Acrylic Paint. For a funky frosty look I did the whole card...the mat too!

I added some glitter to the snow banks and snow balls. I added flocking to the coat cuffs and boots.

The icicles on the card are HoneyComb paper scraps that I stretched out and taped down.

Be sure to check out all of the new goodies Lora's been busy adding to the store and sales galore!

Whiff of Joy--Willow

2011-12-10T00:45:00.000-07:00

Hi All!

Hope you are staying warm as the cold weather is coming in! I will keep this short and sweet today because I am sure everyone is super busy with holiday preparations!

I used the adorable Willow with a cocktail! She was super fun to color and she inked up so clean and it was such a nice impression. I was really impressed with that! Some stamps I have to stamp a few times to get a perfect impression and this one was the first shot! I used some design paper from my minds eye and I kept this really clean. I did not add a sentiment yet because I am not sure what I might use this for in the future. Of course she was colored with my copics!

Have a great week!

You're the best! Xpress It Tape Review

2011-12-03T03:01:00.000-07:00

I really can't get enough of Mo's images. This one is from Stamping Bella. And the papers are from My Mind's Eye and I LOVE this color combination.

I wanted to introduce you to Xpress It tape if you haven't already tried it. I have personally been using Xpress It tape for a few months now and have had great success with it. It was the perfect thing to attach my fence on this card. I use it to adhere my background papers to my cards. Here's a picture of what it looks like in case you've never seen it before. It comes in a roll and seems to last forever. I especially love that I can cut off strips of as much or as little as I want and love that it sticks well.

Thanks for taking a look today and remember we have a "Christmas/Holiday" challenge going on for the month of December.

Winter Vacation

2011-11-29T05:03:00.002-07:00

For my last post for this months Food/Drink challenge, I stamped the hilarious Art Impressions Girlfriends image - just imagine yourself on a beautiful white beach in a tropical location gossiping with your gal pals - wouldn't that be lovely!!!

The image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Copic Xpress It paper, colored with Copics and fussy cut, then mounted on to two papers from Fancy Pants Beach Babe paper collection that was available this past summer. I used a Versamark pad and a light tan embossing powder to imitate the sand.

Today is the last day to enter this months challenge and the winners will be announced tomorrow. Thursday will be the start of December's challenge, so keep checking back to see the theme.
Don't forget that tomorrow is also an extra special day for us here at One Crazy Stamper, our first blog hop with Kraftin' Kimmie, come back and check out all of the wonderful cards that the dt's have created.

....Ellie that is!! Ellie Loves to Knit is the name of this cute stamp set from Your Next Stamp. You can check out all of the new winter images at One Crazy Stamper!

I chose my colors from the sheet of Bo Bunnydesigner paper from the A Gift of Love collection. The Copic markers I used are pictured below:

I fussy cut my image an mounted it with foam tape. I used some Martha Stewart snowflake punches and embellished them with Candi.

Other items on this card are a metal embossed sticker strip and an edge punch.
Warm Winter Wishes!!
