Too batty??

Hi another quick card! I fell in love with this image the moment I saw it! They had free shipping at Bella, so I needed it badly!! I may have overdone it with the Martha Stewart bats, but it needed something!! I thinkI'll make a few more with this little cutie and I love the sentiment!

The background is CB'd with the Web folder, but it doesn't show up very well in the picture!

Stamps: Bella, Stampendous
Paper: Basic Black and K&Co.
Ink: Prismacolor Pencils & Gamsol

Twisted Sistahs Challenge Part IV

The Rulz:

Colors: Must use at least two of them. Other colors can be used to color with, but not paper, except white or off white!! Chocolate Chip (big surprise!), Green Galore and Purely Pomegranate.

Sketch: I have no idea how to draw one, well maybe I could, but too lazy for that, so I'll say to use a cuttlebugged panel, a DP or stamped panel and then your main image.

Entries should be completed by Good Friday. All cards made during this challenge should be sent to someone that has an RAK request on SCS!!

I'm still trying to decide if I want to add a sentiment on the front, what do you think? It's for this RAK:http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/fo...57#post9232657

Stamps: Changito Dos

Paper: Chocolate Chip, Purely Pomegranate, and Green Galore, DSP

Ink: Prismacolor Pencils

Accessories: Ribbon, punch, CB

Thanks for looking! Make my day and leave me a comment!!

I made this card for "K". I later realized it might not be appropriate depending on her religion, so I've gone back to the drawing board! I had a hard time deciding what ribbon to use on this card because Kelly always uses the most fabulous ribbon!! I wanted fabulous ribbon too! I think it might be a bit over bearing on this card, but I love it anyway!! Double click the image and you should be able to see the swiss dots embossing on the main card and the horizontal green piece. I used the sakura gel pen to color in the dots on the green piece. As usual, I'm going to tell you it's much cuter IRL, do you believe me?? Anyway, I think this is the best coloring I've done with my copics, but still need lots of practice!!

Stamps: Stampendous

Paper: Positively Pink??, Green Galore, White

Ink: Copics

Accessories: Ribbon and Swiss Dots CB

So Sorry, it's been so long!!

Wow, I've really neglected you haven't I. Let me give you some eye candy!!

I borrowed this stamp from my wonderful Aunt Pudge. Thanks so much, hope you like it!
This is a stampendous stamp that I purchased a while ago from Lil Deb's Stamp and Scrap Station and the background was done with SU's Boho Backgrounds. I didn't realize the backgrounds didn't stamp too well at the bottom, but it sure shows up in the scan! Just playing around anyway. The ribbon was lighter than it needed to be so I dragged it across the purely pomegranate stamp pad.
This is a fun set called Doctor FeelGood that I purchased from Gina K designs. It is by Carolyn King, isn't it cute!!
My friend Pat sent me a big fatty package of stamped images, dontcha just love this one?? So stinkin' cute and fun! Lots more of them too! Thanks Pat!!

You're a Hoot!

Thanks for looking!!

I adore Changito Loco!

Got this today from Lil Deb's Stamp and Scrap Station and couldn't wait to use it, so even though we were having a party at my house I snuck in and made this card! Isn't he just the cutest!!

Bad Fluffles!

Not so sure this looks any better, but if you color his eyes it's eerie! Oh well! There is fun flock on the top of the stocking and crystal effects on the bulbs, which wasn't quite dry and it stuck to the scanner. Good thing I don't have any more stamped images because he is frustrating me, BIG TIME!

Sweet Fluffles!

The challenge was to use metallic. All I had was this gold mirror paper, co I cuttlebugged it with the white behind it. Fluffles is also colored in gold and fun flock on the ball of the hat. There is glitter on the snow flakes.

I didn't like the previous card, so I re-did it! Looks much better with the Bravo Burgundy and certainly celery. Thank goodness for scraps, this was the only piece of Bravo Burgundy I have.

The ribbon gets squished and discolored when you scan it, but it's much better than the photo.

I like this one much better and prettier IRL.

Thanks for stopping by!

Snowboard Fluffles!!

This was for yet another challenge on Splitcoast. This one was a layout challenge. I purchased this stamp from Lil Deb's Stamp and Scrap Station. I also got some Fun Flock, which I used for the first time on this card. The embellishments are from an old card kit that I purchased a long time ago, so maybe eventually I will use all of this STUFF!

Took longer than should have because after I colored Fluffles, I got the smart idea to shade him and had to start over. I feel like it needs some doodles around the border, but it's too late for me to have to start over again. This is the first time I've used Fun Flock it's pretty cool, but I don't think I got enough on.

Stamps: Snowboard Fluffles

Paper: DCWV, Wild Wasabi & Pretty in Pink

Ink: Wild Wasabi, Bashful Blue, Pretty in Pink & Close to Cocoa

Accessories: Wild Wasabi Double Stitched Ribbon, silver ribbon, dimensionals , silver cord, misc embellishments, dazzling diamonds glitter and Fun Flock

So what do you think I think he is adorable!! Stampendous is also coming out with some really cute new Changito's, Bunnies and Bee's for Easter and Valentine's Day that you must have so stop by her eBay store today.

TFL!

Happy Bee Day! Quickie

Here is another card that was made for Cameron's actual birthday. Turns out I had about 5 minutes to make it, so it's not that great, but it is kind of cute. If I had more time, I would have liked to do something with the background. Since I have already given it to him, I guess it doesn't make much sense to think about it now.

This is a 3x3 card. The colors are barely banana, basic black and rose red. There is stickles on the wings, which is my favorite thing right now. The stamps are from Stampendous and might be found at Lil Deb's Stamp and Scrap Station.

Isn't that lil bee just the cutest?

Just Hangin' Around

Next up on the agenda...more ribbon! I just got the new double-stitched ribbon from Stampin' Up, but there are so many more great ribbons that I need to buy. I just love the Ribbon Originals and the Gingham too. I never seem to have just the right ribbon. Well anyway, couldn't wait had to have this clear set before Sept. 1st when they had the general release...so I figured I better use it before then considering I could have bought three of them for the price I paid with shipping. The bananas were cut out and tapped on the chocolate Chip pad too look more real, not sure it worked. Look for Changito at Lil' Deb's Stamp N Scrap Station soon! The paper is Stampin' Up Chocolate Chip and River Rock. The faux stitching is done with a set from Stampin' Up call All in a Row. The tag is done with Stampin' Up tag punches. This is colored with Stampin' Up markers Old Olive, Close to Cocoa, and Summer Sun. TFL

Don't worry....bee happy now!

Another stamp purchased from Lil' Deb's Stamp N Scrap Station, isn't this little bee just adorable. Wish I would have done this a little differently though so he would stand out more. Working on another version now. The paper is from AC Moore and the designer paper is by Basic Grey. There is glitter on the bees wings, but it doesn't show up too good. TFL

3x3 Circle Card

This is a small 3x3 circle card made with the GIGA Scallop Circle Punch! The Stampendous stamp was purchased at Lil' Deb's Stamp N Scrap Station! All paper and inks from Stampin' Up. Colors are Soft Sky, Groovy Guava, So Saffron and Sage Shadow. The striped paper is Designer Series Paper from SU. You'd be surprised what a difference DP (Designer Paper) and a little glitter can make. Please feel free to contact me for more info about SU products, I'd love to hear from you! The colors didn't scan well (as usual), they are much brighter and prettier in person. TFL

Improved Changito

Bet you wanna kiss me now! LOL... Didn't like this one, so made a few changes. What do you think, do you like it? The image was purchased at Lil' Deb's Stamp N Scrap Station, the DP is from a LSS a long time ago, and the polka dot ribbon was purchased at Michael's. The sentiment was printed on the computer and then punched with the Marvy Scalloped Oval punch. Used SU Close to Cocoa and Creamy Caramel to color the monkeys... hand drew the lips, cut them out, colored them with real red and glued them on.

More Changito!!!

Here are some other Changito 3x3 cards that will be included in this set, only 3 more to go. I hope to finish them today. These ones are all pretty similar, but not much you can do with 3 square inches when you're not feeling creative. Even so, that's the beauty of these lil cards, you don't have to do too much with them to make them cute. After I finish this set, I want to make a brown and red set! You can get Changito at Lil' Deb's Stamp N Scrap Station. If you'd like a template for 3x3 boxes to hold your finished cards, please leave a comment with your e-mail address or contact me. These would make a great gift. Be sure to use a heavy cardstock (like Stampin' Up!) TFL

My Favorite 3x3 Changito!!

I love these 3x3 cards, they are so much quicker to make and these little guys are the perfect size! He needs to be holding something, but I haven't figured out what yet. I made a little 3x3 card box to match these guys, so trying to use all the same papers! Fluffles the Cat and Calendar Chick are also the perfect size. Leave me a message with your name and e-mail address, if you would like more information about purchasing these stamps or click on the Best Buy Shop link to the right! TFL!!

Changito 3x3 Quickies

Started these cards a few days ago, just colored the monkeys. Sunday Pudge brought up the banana stamp, so I stamped it on two small squares because I wasn't quite sure what to do with it. I definitely want to buy one, so I can play with it whenever I want and of course Changito is going to have to eat. Then Bob called and said he got some Changitos in to sell and needed more examples. I've been tired and blocked, but I figured I could finish these easy enough. Hope you like the, just the beginning of the collection. You will be seeing lots more of him!! TFL I printed the sayings on the computer and punched them out with Stampin' Up's word window!
