TAWS Sneak Peek - Have a Super day!

Hi all!  I'm SO excited to show you my sneak peek card today featuring the TAWS set called Happy Hero!  There are several images and sentiments so you can create your OWN super hero!!!  WHAT?!?  I know, right?!! We looove all of the Marvel characters in my house and who doesn't love Captain America??  I decided to make my penguin Captain America, even added some glossy accents to his shield.  Everything was colored with Copics, then fussy cut.  I added the star background with an MFT stencil and some modeling paste, then sprinkled silver glitter over them before they dried.  I love that the sentiment covers a few different occasions.

Thanks for stopping by!  Be SURE to swing by the TAWS Blog and leave a comment for your chance to WIN!!!!

YNS Sneak Peek - Hey there cutie!

Hi all!  Welcome to the YNS May Sneak Peeks!!!  This release is SO FUN!  For my sneak, I used the most adorable fox in the world from the Woodland Cuties stamp set ~ which also has matching dies!  Yay!  I colored him up with Copics then went to work on the rest of my scene.  The grass and flowers were cut out using the Spring Grass Die.  I sponged the edges of the grass with jellybean green ink.  I filled the flower centers with pink lemonade and sparkly pink gumdrops, and a few with liquid pearls.  For the sky, I sponged summer splash, Blu raspberry and blueberry inks onto a piece of summer splash splash card stock until I was happy with the look.  I used two of the stitched rectangle dies to create a frame then layered everything onto a grout gray card base.  I used foam adhesive to pop up the fox.  I seriously love this little guy!  The sentiment is also from the set - how cute is that font!?

Alright, now head on over to the YNS Blog to see more sneak peeks then get your wallets ready because the New Release Hop is tomorrow!  :D

SugarPea Designs Sneak Peek Day 3!!!

Hi all!  Welcome to DAY 3 of SugarPea Designs sneak peeks!  Today we are showing you Hot Diggity Dog and new SugarCuts called Homescape.  So I colored up two of the dogs in the set and then after looking at all of the sentiments, it hit me.  Shaker card!  So the little guy (who looks just like my doxie, Dexter) on the lower left is inside the shaker and is telling his friend to 'shake off' his 'ruff' day, lol!  And hopefully now you're singing the Taylor Swift song because I sure was while I was making this ;)

Here it is upright...  all of the sequins are from Butterfly Reflections Ink!

Now, for my second card ~ I had SO much fun creating this little scene!  All from the Homescape Sugarcuts!  I cut it out of Neenah white card stock, then used my Copics to color it.  I even tried to give the house a 'brick' look, hehe!  I cut the curve along the grass and along the white card stock layer by hand ~ I thought it would be fun to have a curvy edge.  The sentiment is actually from the Hot Diggity Dog set but is so perfect with this die!

Your Next Stamp New Release SNEAK PEEK!

Hi all!  It's Sneak Peek time over on the YNS Blog and boy, is this one FUN release!!!  Here is my card using Wild Ride!  The baby and zebra are one stamp but they would also be so easy to stamp separately, if desired.  I colored them with Copics, adding shading on the left side and underneath both the baby and the zebra with my W1 and W3 Copics.  I used an out of the box technique to cut the image out.  I took a circle STAX die and fed it through my machine just enough without cutting out the zebra's head or hoof.  Then I used paper snips to cut around the areas that hadn't been cut by the die.  I adhered the image using foam adhesive for extra dimension.  To add a bit of oomph to the polka dot DP, I randomly placed the new Stitched Circles dies over it, then ran it through my machine.  As long as the dies aren't too close together, you can run 3 or 4 of them through at one time {at least that's what I did and didn't have any problems!}.  This set comes with 3 sweet sentiments, including the one I used here.  A few sparkly silver gumdrops add the finishing touch!  The sketch is the current SCS weekly sketch challenge.

Thanks for stopping by!  I know the rest of the DT and our guest designer have some amazing sneaks for you, as well, so HOP ON OVER and check them out!

Your Next Stamp - January Release Sneak Peek!

Hi all!  It's time for us to kick-off our YNS January release and we have some FUN sneak peeks for you!  We're adding a new character to the mix and let me say, I just love this wild and crazy guy!  The set is called Perfect Chemistry.  I colored him with Copics then fussy cut him.  The sentiment, just one from this cool set, was stamped with sweet tooth ink then embossed with clear embossing powder.  This is my first shaker card EVER and it was so much fun to make!  The sequins are from the Teresa Collins Tinsel & Co pack.  I got the sketch from the featured stamper challenge on SCS.  

Thanks for stopping by!  Stop by the YNS Blog to see all the sneaks!

Your Next Stamp - New Release SNEAK PEEK!

Hi all!  Can you believe it's time for another new release from Your Next Stamp?!  I guess we get so busy that the last few months of the year just fly by... anyway... here's my sneak peek card featuring the LITTLE DARLING JACK set. So. Totally. ADORABLE!  Jack and his cute little sled-puller come separately, along with some great sentiments and a trio of snowflakes!  FUN!!!  I colored everything with my Copics then fussy cut it, leaving a bit of "snow" for them to run on.  I then layered them over Sno Cone card stock, which I had stamped the with the snowflakes from the set in sweet tooth ink.  I also sponged the sweet tooth ink around the edges to really give it a 'frosty' look.  

Here's a peek at the inside...  I stamped the snowflakes again, this time in Sno Cone ink.  For the sentiment, which is from the set except that I stamped it all in one line, not stacked which is how it comes, I decided to make it fun and put it under the tear away tab using our large die.  

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to hop on over to the YNS Blog to see ALL of the SNEAK PEEKS!   Our New Release Blog Hop is SUNDAY and you won't want to miss a thing!

TS sneak peek - day 2

Hi again! Let me introduce you to Storybook Elizabeth by artist Sylvia Zet! What a doll! I colored her with copics and sponged around her with pretty in pink. She's also up on pop dots. The sentiment is one of three from the set. I also sponged around it and popped it up on pop dots. The sketch is from this week's Mojo Monday. I don't usually color "blonde hair" on my images, so I thought I'd give it a try. Whatcha think? Added a pink bow that I made using my bow easy and some brads to finish it off.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check out what the rest of the DT made -->links are on the right side bar.

Off to my high schooler's open house! Ack!

Hugs,

TS Monday - challenge and a SNEAK PEEK!

Happy Monday! Yes, it's a HAPPY Monday because we have a new challenge AND a sneak peek! That's right! Totally Stampalicious is releasing 5 NEW STAMP SETS this Thursday at our Blog Hop! First though, this week's challenge is to make a birthday card for a child. Easy, right?! Well, when you're using a cutie pie stamp like this one, yes, it is easy! Here's a peek at Fairy Ava. She's one of the new Bugaboo stamps that will be released this Thursday. A-DOR-able! I colored her with copics then cut her out. I used the newest sketch from CPS. The two little clouds are part of this sweet little stamp, so when it came to cutting out the sentiment, I thought I'd use another cloud. It's an MFT dienamic. I added the black outline so that it matched the little clouds, then popped it up on a pop dot. Lots of sponging on the MME Blush dp and some faux stitching top it all off.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to stop by the Totally Stampalicious Blog to see what fabulousness the rest of the DT has for you!

Hugs,

It's a Sunny release day!!!

It's RELEASE DAY!!!!!!!!! Here's my final sneak peek for you using a different image from the same Mini Messages set that I used yesterday.


This also uses yesterdays' Sketch Challenge on SCS. The beach balls are up on dimensionals and I colored them w/ my SU markers. I love using up retired dp rather than just seeing it sit in my room!! Used a border punch on the bottom black strip, pierced the top black strip, added a little gingham and a sentiment from the same Mini Messages set and voila! Clean and simple w/ a pop of color!! Ok, now RUN to the Elzybell store (link on the sidebar--->) and see the full sets! Which ones are you getting???!!!
Thanks for stopping by and hope you enjoyed the peeks! Also, this is my last new release as an Elzybell DT member. It's been wonderful and I can't thank Elizabeth enough for giving me, someone not well known in the "stamping world" (didn't want to use your exact words, debi!), a chance to a be a part of her team. I've really enjoyed getting to know everyone else on the team and will continue to follow their work and stalk their blogs *wink*.

hugs,

3rd day of Elzybell Summer sneaks!!!

Here's a sweet little card that uses 2 images from one of the new Mini Messages sets being released *TOMORROW*!!!! The sentiment is also from that set. I colored the palm tree image w/ copics, then masked to create a little sunset scene. The flip flops were clear embossed on the saffron layer. A few rows of piercing and ribbon finish it off. The palm tree image is up on pop dots. This is a 4x4 card.
Thanks for stopping by and remember, tomorrow is ***RELEASE DAY*** and the last day of sneaks!!!

hugs,
