Sparkly Day 7 Kids Challenge No. 21

Happy Wednesday, y'all!! It's another 7 Kids College Fund challenge day and I am so excited to used something other than a Magnolia stamp on a card. Don't get me wrong....I <3 my Maggie's, but 7 Kids has tons of fabulous other stamps in stock waiting to be loved too!! (sounds like a puppy at the pet store, eh?)

Our challenge this week is

Circles!!

**Create a circle card or use circles on your card.

I used one of the stamps in the Aladdin set from Whiff of Joy. This is such a perfect set - 14 stamps (including awesome sentiments I use on other cards all of the time!!) The sentiment on this card is from the same awesome set!

I could not resist making another Scalloped Easel card, this time using Circle Nesties. I airbrushed 2 doilies with some G24 and YG21 Copic Markers and then layered them under some Sultry DP from Basic Grey and some SU cardstock. I distressed all of the edges and then added Stickles all over. I swear I went through 1/4 of a bottle of Star Dust (my fav) on this card!

Copics Used: E11, 00, 000, RV11, 10, 000, 0000, C9, 7, 5, 3, G24, 21, 20, YG00, Y21, 26,

Flowers or Showers

I decided to go with Flowers!!

I used Tilda with Ice Cream on this Scalloped Easel Card. Ice Cream is perfect for a day like today!!

I used Tilda with Flower in her Hair and the Flower Basket stamp, both from Magnolia Stamps. I masked off the flower basket and airbrushed the background around it. The flowers were double stamped, colored and double layered on the front of the card. I added lots of Stickles to the flowers and to Tilda's eggs.

2 New Tilda cards!!

Happy Thursday night, y'all!! Hope everyone is doing well. I had a busy, but productive day working on some Spring Cleaning - fun stuff!! :) I do have a great sense of accomplishment, though.

I was asked to make a few cards for a customer, so I thought I would stop over here and share them with you!

My first card is a Thinking of You card. I used Tilda with Three Flowers and Shabby Chic Fence (both Magnolia Stamps). To create the background, I stamped the fence and masked it off. I, then, masked off the ground and airbrushed the sky using a cloud template and B24 Copic Marker. I then turned the mask around to mask off the sky and airbrushed the ground. It really does not take long to master this!! Tilda was colored, cut out and layered on top of the background.
Here is the front of the Easel card.

This is the inside of the card.



I used these Copics: E11, 00, 000, R30, B24, YG23, YG97, V01, V12, V15, YG95, YG93, E37, 35, 33, 30, E57, 55, 53, 50, YR18, YR00


Supplies:
Stamps - Tilda with Three Flowers, Shabby Chic Fence (both Magnolia), sentiment (Inkadinkadoo)

Ink - Memento, Copics
Accessories - Stickles, Copic ABS, Nestabilities, Fern Punch, leaf punch (Martha Stewart), Flowers (WOC)


My 2nd card is a birthday card using my new favorite Birthday Tilda!!

I used some Olivia DP from Basic Grey and SU cardstock for this card. I am on an Easel card kick again, so bear with me! The flowers are WOC and were inked with some SU ink and a sponge dauber as was the image and white panel inside of the card. I added lots of Stickles to her cake and candles. The leaf punch is from Nellie Snellen and can be found here along with the fern punch. The flourish is from Sizzix. The floral edge punch is from Martha Stewart.

Have Some Cake and Be Square!

Happy Wednesday, y'all. How are ya? I am busy today catching up on projects and cleaning my office.

Today 7 Kids has a brand new challenge:

CALLING ALL SQUARES

make a square card - any size, just has to be square

I used Birthday Tilda from the new So Special Collection.

I decided to take the square theme and also turn it into an easel card. Love the look of these! The papers are from the Jubilee DP set from Memory Box. I airbrushed some doilies with some R24 Copic Marker. I used some Nesties for the sentiment and image and inked around the edges with some Ruby Red ink (SU). The flowers are WOC and have Stickles added to them as well as Tilda's yummy cake! Tiny pearls were added all over for some more dimension. Here is a sideview of the Easel Card.

Here is a front view of this sweetie!

Happy Birthday Wishes!! 7 Kids Birthday Challenge!!

Happy Wednesday! Hope everyone is having a good one. It is very warm in FL right now, way too warm (almost 90 today!! Eek!) I would love to hear about the weather in your neck of the woods!

Today, 7 Kids College Fund is having another challenge today and the theme is:

BIRTHDAY!

Who doesn't always need birthday cards in their stash?? I never seem to have enough!

I decided to make an Easel card for this challenge. I used CC Designs Swiss Pixie Miss Rosalie stamp. She is so sweet and versatile. I colored her with Copics and cut her out. She was popped up on a panel cut with Oval Nestabilities and run through my Cuttlebug with the Birthday embossing folder. Here is a sideview of the cuteness! I airbrushed both of the pink panels using my Copic ABS. The inside panel is for a quick message. Here is a close-up of Miss Rosalie.

Be sure to hop around and see the other DT Members' blogs for more Birthday cuteness!

Supplies -

Stamps - Miss Rosalie Swiss Pixie (CC Designs), sentiment (Amy R Stamps)

Lady Tilda

Happy Tuesday! It is rainy here today, so I am getting some scrappy stuff done!! Yay!

I have a new Tilda easel card to share with you. I finally inked up Lady Tilda and the Castle Background. I bought these stamps when they first came out several months ago and finally got to them! LOL - I really need to get better about inking things immediately! These beautiful papers are from the Memory Box Gossamer collection. I paired it with some Pale Plum (SU), and Spring Moss (PTI). I used a distressing tool to distress all of the edges. The purple flowers are Prima and the white ones are Wild Orchid Crafts. You can get the fern punch here.

I really like how the coloring turned out. For the ground and bushes, I did a series of dots and then blended them with a lighter color.
Here is a sideview of the Easel card. I love these cards because they pack such a punch, but are really simple to make!

I computer generated the sentiment and distressed it too.

Be sure to stop back by tomorrow!! 7 Kids has a brand new Challenge being issued and it is sure not to disappoint!

Supplies: (Most of the supplies can be purchased HERE at 7 Kids College Fund)

Stamps - Lady Tilda, Castle Background (Magnolia Stamps)

Ink - Memento, Copics

Wishing you a Happy Birthday

Happy Wednesday, y'all! It was a gorgeous day here in FL - sunny and 70's! I had to spend a little time outside today just to get some sunshine.

I am back with another Tilda card today. I really love the Jam Tilda image. (Unfortunately, she is out of stock right now, but I am sure Diana will have her soon!) In addition, I used the Old Bench image.

I loved making the Easel cards last week, so I just had to make another one! I reached back in my Basic Grey stash and pulled out some Urban Prairie. It goes nicely with Pink Pirouette and Cool Caribbean cardstock. I added some stitching and lots of Primas and pearls and of course, my beloved fern punch. I am going to have to find another one soon - it seems like it is breaking. It is so hard to punch lately and bends kinda funny.
Here is what the Easel card looks like standing up.

I stamped Tilda and then masked her off to stamp the bench. I then cut all of it out and popped it up on a circle that I airbrushed grass and clouds on.
Here is the inside of the card. I used one of Amy R's Birthday sentiments. I stamped it and then airbrushed the background with BG000.
Here is a sideview - these are so pretty standing up!

Here are the Copics I used.

Hope you have a great rest of the night. Be sure to check back tomorrow. PCS is having a new digi release and you won't want to miss it! ~Tori

The Sky's the Limit!!

Good Morning, Y'all! It's Thursday and it looks like I am surviving another week pretty well. The weather is still chilly here, but sunny. Hopefully it will warm up before this weekend when the kids have soccer & lacrosse games.

Pink Cat Studio is having another digi release today!! You can find the new images here.

My first card uses the Billy Snowboarder image. This is my tribute to the US Men's Snowboarding Team, especially to Shaun White, since he won another gold! I don't know about you, I really enjoyed watching the Winter Olympics. I decided to step out of the box for this card and try my hand at an Easel card. I can't believe how completely easy they are to make! Here are the directions for making them.

I used some really old Basic Grey Dawson DP along with some Basic Grey (SU) & Bazzill cardstocks. I used a Heidi Swapp distressing tool to distress the edges of all of the papers and then added some Versa Mark chalk ink as well. I created the sentiment on my pc, cut it out with a nestie tag and then airbrushed it with some YR16. The snowflake border is an EK Success border punch. I used a MS snowflake punch and a phillips head screw brad that I colored with C7. The small snowflakes are were left over from the border punch. Here is a close-up of Billy. I masked him off and sponged some So Saffron around him. I used the following Copics: E0000, 000, 00, 08, 11, R20, YR12, 15, 16, B00, 02, 91, 93, 95, 97,
C1, 3, 5, & 7. I created his jacket using a colorless blender. I added some Liquid Glass (CTMH) to his goggles and snowboard.

Here is the inside of the card:
Here is my second card - Lily Snowboarder. I used a Magnolia-licious sketch for this card. I know this is super-bright, but it very cheery! I used some Basic Grey Lime Ricky. I bought this when it first came out, but I think this is the first time I ever used it. I thought it was perfect for this snowboarding princess! The sentiment was created on my pc and airbrushed with some YG25. I did not have any primas that matched this card, so I airbrushed them to match. Some Raspberry Fizz twill matched nicely with this DP. The bling is Doodlebug Designs.
I cut Lily out and popped her up on a background that I created a cloudy scene with my Copic ABS. I used these Copics on her: E0000, 000, 00, 11, 30, 35, 37, R20, RV11, 14, 17, 19, B000, 00, 02, 05, Y02, 11, YG 00, 21, 23, 25 & colorless blender.

Here is the inside of the card. I used a MS border punch to mimic the flowers on her board.Here is a peek of the new stamps that Melissa has in the store:
Be sure to check out the other PCS DT member's blogs - their addresses are on the right side of my blog.

Hope you have a wonderful day! I am off to play with some of my new stamps that came in the mail this week! I will be adding some new stuff to my Etsy store soon!
