TS Monday - Christmas time!

Hi all!  Yes, it's still October but over on the Totally Stampalicious blog, it's Christmas time!  I used one of my favorite TS Christmas images, Winter Bird Snowman.  I colored it with copics and added some pearly Smooch around the entire image.  I used a few die-namics and some MFT buttons with black jute twine for extra interest.  The sketch is Karen G's SSSC169.

TS Monday -- thank you!

Hi all!  It's Monday and time for another Totally Stampalicious! Blog challenge!  Since the Canadian Thanksgiving was yesterday, our challenge is for you to make a Thank You card.  I used the Balloon Kidz Boy set.  I paper pieced his balloon and used copics on everything else.  The sentiment is from the Balloon Kidz Girl set.  

Did you know that you could win ALL of our NEW RELEASES in 2013?!?!?!  Seriously!  Find all of the details HERE!!!!

Hope everyone has a wonderful week!  Thanks for stopping by!

MFTWSC91, You're so cool

Hi all!  Here's my card for MFT's WSC91.  I had to use this sweet Ice Princess PI.  She's colored with copics, cut out and popped up.  The die-namics I used were the crown border, Fishtail Flax Stax and one of the mini tabs foursome die-namics.  Brads and some swirly pearls finish it up.

TS Monday - anything goes!

Hi all!  It's time for our Monday Totally Stampalicious Blog challenge and this week it's an easy one - anything goes!  My New Orleans Saints are needing some support this season, so I thought I'd make a card in their honor using our Football Brat.  He's colored with copics and I used a gold spica pen on his helmet.  I masked him and some cloud die-namics then sponged in some sky.  I used some die-namics to cut out the sentiment, which is also from the set.  Some black cotton twill, a couple of extra stars and a brad finish off the details.

TS Blog challenge- Fall Colors a little late

Hi all!  Nope it's not Monday which mean yes, I'm a wee bit late with my Totally Stampalicious Blog challenge... but alas, here 'tis.  I chose to ink up the newly released Stella Waitress.  I always love this gal!  I colored her with copics.  The sentiment is one from her set.  

Detail shot...  kraft ribbon, cherry button and some twine *love*...

TS Monday - Birthday Girl!

Hi all!  Hope everyone had a nice weekend!  I am personally cherishing my weekends more than ever before now that I'm working 8-5 again. ;)  

Our challenge this week is for you to create a Birthday Girl card or project.  Who couldn't use more of these in their stash?!  I had to use this sweetie from the Sweet Birthday Kids set.  I love this set because it has a boy and a girl with two sentiments - all your kiddie birthday card needs in one set!  Gotta love that!  I paper pieced the balloons but the rest of her was colored with copics.  I cut out the sentiment with one of my die-namics.  I also added a Fishtail Flag Stax.  The orange polka dots strips were cut out with my small scallop border die-namics.  A little bling and some ivory jute from the Ribbon Carousel finish off the details.  The sketch is the MFTWSC89.

Here's a close up of the balloons...  I added glossy accents to make them *shine*.

And a peek at the inside.  I inked up only the balloons with some versamagic ink.
