The Alley Way Stamps October Rlease Blog Hop

Hello!!

This is my second post today, click here if you are looking for my Art Impressions post!

It's time for a new release at The Alley Way Stamps!! Whoo Hoo!! You are going to love this release!! My card today features the new set Sweet Thing!

I started by stamping the ice cream from the TAWS Slurp set all over a panel of watercolor paper. Then i used my Spectrum Noir Aqua Markers to color them in. I was going for a almost messy watercoloring look, lol, by going out of the lines here and there.

While that was drying i cut out the matching SVG file for the big Sweet, then i stamped the sentiment on it. Next i used a black sparkly marker that i've had forever to color over the sentiment.

Next i adhered my watercolor panel to a white card base, then trimmed some white card stock and added it horizontally over the panel. I added the Sweet with foam tape and last stamped Thing below it on the white stripe.

Thanks so much for stopping by!! Make sure you stop The Alley Way Stamps blog for your chance to win all three new sets!! Keep scrolling for the next stop on the hop!!

Hi!!

I'm on the Art Impressions blog using clear stamps available at Hobby Lobby, Dare to Be Fabulous! 

I found a water color panel that i made some time ago, i used it to match some pattern paper to. On the pattern papers i stamped single lady from the set and again on some white card stock. 

I colored the skin, skirt and shoes on the white card stock lady. Then i fussy cut different parts of her outfit and adhered them on the white colored image. Next i fussy cut her out.

I found a cork circle in my stash and added it the watercolor panel, on top of the cork i added the paper pieced image. For a sentiment i added one in the bottom left corner, then added the panel to a black card base.

Thanks for stopping by!

A Gift From Me to You

Hello!!

This is my second post today, click here if you are looking for my The Alley Way Stamps post.

I'm sharing a Christmas card today, featuring some Crafter's Companion stamps and Spectrum Noir Markers!

I started by die cutting some white card stock with a rectangle die. Next i stamped Bebunni Christmas Present on the panel. I colored him up with Spectrum Noir Markers.

Next i stamped the A Gift From Me to You sentiment from the same set. I found a stray piece of twine and tied it in a tiny bow and added it to the bunnies hat.

Last i just added the panel to a green card base that matched my coloring!

BUT today you can stop by The Alley Way Stamps blog for your chance to win one of the new stamps Waddle Pals! This is such a cute set, i have so many ideas!!

I added white Perfect Pearl powder to the snowflakes after stamping with versamark ink. No matter what i did, i couldn;t get a good photo!!

Next i stamped one of the penguins and hat from Waddle Pals, then colored them up with my Spectrum Noir markers, then fussy cut them out.

Then i die cut a small circle and stamped the sentiment, Bring on The Snow!! (yes, i'm ready!!!). Before i added my watercolor panel to a card base i wrapped some twine around it and tied it in a bow. Last i added the penguin and circle to the card with foam tape!!

The Kindness You Show

Hello!!

I'm popping in quick to share a card with you. It's going to be a little busy on the blog over the next few days, so i wanted to try and get this in! I'm using Crafter's Companion stamps and colored pencils!

I started by die cutting some Crafter's Companion Kraft Card Stock with a stitched die. On the panel i stamped the women with umbrella in black ink.

Then i used Spectrum Noir Colored Pencils to color her, also i used SN's blending solution and paper stub to blend and smooth my coloring. I just love how colorful the pencils are on Kraft!

Next i stamped the sentiment to the left of the image. Then i adhered the panel to a black card base. I decided not to add anything else, and let the focus be on the colored image!!

Thanks for stopping by!!

For You

Hello!

It's the weekend!! Yeah! I get to do a little crafting and a little Chemistry! Today i'm sharing a card featuring a Crafter's Companion die, they recently release some new Die'sire Edge'ables Christmas Collection. I'm using Christmas Carol for a non Christmas card!

I started by using the die to cut some double adhesive sheet. Then i peeled off the backing on one side and added black glitter to the top part of the music notes, then added purple for the bottom. Then i peeled off the backing off the other side and pressed it on to a white panel.

Next i wrapped some black ribbon around the panel tying it in a knot. Below the ribbon i stamped For You in black ink. The stamp is from Crafter's Companion Inspiration Magazine Issue 7.

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

Hello!!

Today i am participating in the Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop! Originally i wasn;t going to, but a couple nights ago as i was waiting for another project to dry i got an idea and quickly cranked this card out in between the other project.

My idea started with the background, i used an awesome leave stamp set by Penny Black to stamp some leafs on some watercolor paper. Then i used some distress ink and water to color the leaves. I tried to get the watercolor look, but the colors blending to well! With red and brown ink added splatters, then set it aside to dry.

Then i stamped the coffee mug from Simon Says Stamp What's Brewing on some white card stock and again on some brown polka dot pattern paper. I stamped the Sending You a Latte Thanks below the white mug. Next i trimmed the top half of the card stock.

I fussy cut the polka dot paper and adhered it over the white mug. Then i added the mug and sentiment panel with foam dots to my card base. Last i added a few brown sequins.

Thanks for stopping by!! I'm looking forward to check all the inspiration along the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!!
