WMS Sneek Peak Day 3

Another day - another sneak peek!! These two new masculine stamp sets are coming out tomorrow at Waltzingmouse!!! ... " Free Spirit- Boy" images and "Free Spirit Sentiments".

Today I have another graduation card to show you - this time using the little graduation cap, the star and some of the numbers (0-9 included in the set). I made this from a piece of card stock measuring 8.5 x 2.5 folded in half so it's a little narrow guy!

And here's what I stamped on the inside - short and sweet with plenty of room to write a personal note to the graduate! Several of these could be whipped up in no time and you could use the particular school colors for each graduate you need one for!

Check out more sneak peeks here:

Under the Weather?

Happy Tuesday everyone!  I wanted to post this get well card I made for a dear friend who's feeling a bit under the weather. 

I used the FREEBIE image from Melanie over at Wink Wink Ink!  It was perfect for my card.  I used a pop up card for it and I think it's pretty cool.  :O)  I added some Liquid Glass for the little water droplets.  It quit raining and he's just shakin' off the excess!

Remember that Wink Wink Ink will be starting a monthly challenge on April 5th...the first Monday of the month.  There will be prizes awarded, so don't forget to play along with us!  Darlene has a special post up that lets YOU get in on the action...give us suggestions for upcoming challenges and if yours is used there could be something sweet just for you!!!

WMS Sneak Peek Day 2

How often have you wanted to say this to your little tyke or grown son?! Well, this is the perfect stamp set to do it with! I just love these neat racing cars don't you! I thought they looked fun stamping them in multi colors! And the word 'son' is a separate stamp. There's also 'dad' 'uncle' brother and man' so you've got all the bases covered!! I drew my black outline border with a Micron 01 fine tip pen.

Inside I stamped the sentiment as well as multicolored stars to match the cars on the outside of the card. Another clean and simple masculine card - this one measures a small 2.5" x 4.25".

Both of these great stamp sets will be available at Waltzingmouse Stamps on April 1!

WMS Sneak Peek Day 1

I'm so excited to be sneak peeking two wonderful masculine stamp sets that will be available on April 1 over at Waltzingmouse Stamps! Claire really has her finger on the pulse of us stampers and knew we needed a set for little to any age guy events!

Today I used this wonderful cluster of circles stamp (that looked like clouds to me) and I've got the stamped and cut out paper airplane soaring through them. This would be great for any age graudation from kindergarten right up through college or even for someone starting a new career!

Inside I stamped the outline paper airplane right over the sentiment! The new image set is called "Free Spirit - Boy" and the sentiment set, that includes birthday, graduation, congrats, miss you and tons more, is called "Free Spirit Sentiments". Both will be available on April 1.

Guy cards are kind of fun to do - being that they are usually made clean and simple - no buttons or bows for the boys!

Check out the other DT members who are doing sneak peeks today too!

With a Heavy Heart...

Good morning/afternoon all my crafty peeps!  I have some super sad news to share with you today...

It is with a heavy heart I am announcing that I have stepped down as a Senior Design Team member with Sassy Studio Designs. 

I know that my blog has been full of fun creations by this company and I thought many of you would wonder why SSD images were absent.  I hope that you will still come by and see me...I promise to have other cute stuff for you to see!

Much Love!

Cross Word Puzzles & Tea

Here's my card for this weeks Tuesday Teapot Party over at Split Coast - I really have no story to go with my card today (!) other than I was inspired by the cross word puzzle teapot Cindy showed us. I had this fun piece of acetate designer paper called brick wall - (the black is printed on the clear acetate) and I layered it over a pretty fibrous paper that had green and brown Asian writing on it - the colors reminded me of tea! You can see the gloss of the acetate on this card IRL but not in the pic! (at least there's no glare on it either!)

And I thought this sentiment might calm down both Chris and Crisanne (his girlfriend) who were all in a tither about Chris not remembering how to spell TEAPOT for the big Crossword puzzle challenge in Boston he was involved in! (check the link to the teapot party to see what I'm talking about here!)

So maybe I do have a story after all!?

I've got a really busy weekend coming up - Kent and I are going to a play on Friday night, a matinee play on Saturday and then Sunday is Palm Sunday so there'll be church and my Easter craft sale after services.

So you may not hear from me until Monday when I'll be back with a sneak peek for a new Waltzingmouse set coming out on 4/1!! Whoo hoo! Claire will have her own sneak peek on Sunday so check that out too!!

Stamps: Papertrey Ink - Tea for Two
Paper: Vintage cream, Dark Chocolate - PTI, Wild Wasabi - SU, Natural fiber DP - unknown, Hambly Screenprints/Brick wall - acetate

A Pearled Egg Sketch

I made my Easter cards today based on Mercy's Tuesday Sketch. I started out just making

this first card.I white embossed this beautiful Waltzingmouse egg stamp on blue card stock. Then I sponged the outside edges with blue ink and added sticky pearls. I tied a pink silk ribbon around the egg patterend paper and popped the egg up on foam dimensinals.

I loved the embossed egg so much I decided to make another one!

So I embossed a second egg on green card stock layered over Amy Butler paper and tied with green silk ribbon. I just noticed that the top pearl fell off somewhere between my work table and taking the photograph!?!

and then I made a third card using another green egg but changing the ribbon to blue - it changes the whole look of the card doesn't it? And now I have 3 cards for Easter!! Nice egg, huh??!
Stamps: Waltzingmouse Stamps - Nested Eggs, sentiment - Spring Baskets

Paper: Ocean tides, white, spring moss - PTI, Bashful blue -SU, DP - DCWV spring stack, K&Co Amy Butler

Ink: Bashful Blue - SU, Spring Moss - PTI, Versamark, Memento Tuxedo Black

Lady {bug} Gaga!

***This is my 3rd post today...if you are looking for The Digi Shack Challenge, please scroll down once...Flutter By Wednesday, please scroll down twice.***

Last post for today highlights Inktegrity and our Hump Day Inspiration Sketch!  I used the cute Lady Bug Fairy for my card today...as did most of the design team!  Too fun!  Joni's title on the Inktegrity blog was so cute, I snagged it for my own!  ;O)

Be sure to join us...anyone who plays along will receive a free Inktegrity image!  How cool is that???  We can't wait to see what you come up with!  :O)

Hello, You Cackling Hens!

***This my 2nd post today...if you're looking for Flutter By Wednesday, please scroll down!***

I'm baaaaaaaaaaaack!  This post is for The Digi Shack's Wednesday Challenge.  Toni challenged us to make any card that isn't an A2 size or square.  How easy is that???  I chose to make mine a #10 size, or business envelope.  These crazy chicks have been making me laugh since I saw them, so I decided to use them for my card today.  :O)

Aren't these guys too funny?  I hope you like it too!  Be sure to check out what my awesome teamies have made too...links are on my sidebar!

Miss You, Flutterby...

Good morning, crafty people and Happy Hump Day!  It's Wednesday and that means several posts for today!  First up is Flutter By Wednesday #102.  This week's challenge is an open one...all you have to do to play along is use a butterfly, fairy or angel on your project.  Simple!!!  I also entered this into the current Oh, Alice! Challenge...use a butterfly or caterpillar.

I made another layout for you today.  This is of my best friend, Thom, who passed away in February of last year from Lymphoma.  I miss him so much!  :O(  I thought butterflies were appropriate to symbolize his passing.  See those letters?  There are little tiny butterflies adorning them too.  I love you, Thom!

Be sure to check out my awesome teamies, including Brandi, our newest full time FBW DT sistah!  Welcome aboard, lovey!  Links are in my sidebar!  ;O)  Check back in a bit for The Digi Shack's Wacky Wednesday Challenge and Inktegrity's Sketch Challenge!  (I told you I was busy today!)

Proud in NY

The Clean and Simple challenge over on Split Coast this week was to show something about New York City - skyscrapers, broadway, nightlife etc .

I have always loved the Stature of Liberty and I have several stamps of her - so I knew just what part of NY I would have on my card. I stamped Miss Liberty and my sentiment with Ocean Tides ink directly on the Ocean Tides CS.

I used a gold Spica pen to highlight the flame, the star and the rim of her crown. It looks shimmery IRL, not so much in the picture! Then I just tied a ribbon around the top - clean and simple!

Public Service Announcements!
Don't forget the sale over at Rubbernecker - it ends tonight at midnight! Dave is offering 15-28% off on selected items from Ranger, Spellbinders, Tsukineko and Clearsnap! - so be sure to check it out before it's over!

Remember to check out the WMS sponsored Inspiration challenge over at Stamping Around - you could win a WMS Sewing Box Hugs stamp set!

If you live anywhere near Hampton, NH - hop over to Stamping Around and sign up for the fun weekend they are planning for 4/16-4/17 - I'll be teaching a class there using WMS stamps and Lauren Meader will be there teaching too!! There are still some spots open and I'd love to get to meet you!!

Got Horns?

No, not the kind of horns that say "I'm Evil", but the kind that say "I'm a Whimsical, Magical Creature!"  Happy Tuesday everyone! 

I wanted to share with you a card I made for one of my good friends.  Amanda is having yet another girl (this makes number 3), and her shower is coming up this weekend.  It is expected of me to make a cute card for the baby's book, so this is what I came up with.  I used the unicorn image called "Beauty" by Wink Wink Ink.  I paper pieced the unicorn...I love my striped unicorn!  ;O)  This digital stamp actually comes as a horse with the wings and the horn in separate files.  Talk about versatility!  Be sure to get over to the shop and pick this Beauty up for yourself!  While you're there look at the newest stamp called Little Bird...it is darling!!!  Anyway, I hope she likes it...and I hope you do too!  :O)

A Serene Scene

The Featured Stamper over on Split Coast was the very artful Mutnik (Cathy)! I CASE'd her birch trees with birds card.

I changed stamps used circles instead of rectangle framings and used striped ribbon instead of striped DP but kept the tree theme and used the black magic technique.

I offset the circles so that the orange piece mirrored the moon outline on the stamp (although this stamp from Rubbernecker is called Serene Sunrise - I made it a night time moon scene!)

The background is embossed with the Distressed Stripes Cuttlebug folder. I stamped the image with white chalk ink - then colored over parts of it with colored pencils (the Black Magic Technique) and added highlight dots with a white gel pen.

Dave is having a great sale over at Rubbernecker Stamps until midnight Wed March 24th - 15-28% off on selected items from Ranger, Spellbinders, Tsukineko and Clearsnap! - so be sure to check it out before it's over!

Mr. Stinky Stinkerson & a Freebie!

Happy Monday everyone!  Did my post title get your attention?  My dear friend, Marlene, would be talking of farts if not sharts by now with a title like this...you should stop by her blog and have a read.  She is a trip, for sure!!!  BWAHAHAHAHA! 

I wanted to share another layout with you today.  I used the adorable skunk and bear image from Wink Wink Ink, appropriately named Stinker for it...PERFECT!  It also comes with 3 sentiments to use.  These are pictures of my great nephew, Conan...and he IS too stinkin' cute!  :O)

Don't forget that today is Manic Monday Freebie Fun Day over at The Digi Shack!  Go grab your freebie before it's gone!

Here Comes the Easter Bunny!..... and a little lamb!

A fun Free for All challenge at Split Coast on Friday - to make a 3D basket using the colors of plum, celery and banana.

I used Claire's adorable basket template from last year. I stamped the sides of the basket with the beautiful broderie anglaise lace stamp (don't you love that name?!) from the Faux Fun set by Waltzingmouse Stamps
I made my handle using a Martha Stewart lacey punch and I put a strip of yellow CS behind it so it shows through the holes in the lace. The base is a narrow scalloped rectangle Nestability.

I'll be making 10 of these to sell at my church Easter Sale. Aren't these little Lindt bunnies and lambs adorable!? They fit in my baskets perfectly don't you think?!

You can see the basket I made using this pattern last year on this post

Kent and I met up with friend and fellow Stamping Around teacher, Donna and her DH, Doug yesterday - we had a great meal at The Old Salt Restaurant in Hampton, NH. Donna and I will be teaching at the next Stamping Around weekend at Wholly Scrap in North Hampton, NH 4/16-4/17 We'd love to meet you there!!

Playing Dress Up and a Sale!

I made this card for two challenges over on Split Coast this week.

First - for the Tuesday Teapot challenge we learn that all Flat Footed Ruby wants is a pair of high heels to wear so she will be cool and beautiful! and that her jealous brother Swoop wants something manly - so I have two pretty high heel shoes for Ruby to try as well as her flats in case she realizes that high heels aren't all they are cracked up to be and often hurt your feet!!! And the drink is for Swoop so he can cool his jets while Ruby is trying on all the shoes!

I'm also CASEing Mutnik's butterflies card because she was appointed by Anne Ryan to be the unofficial Queen for a Day at Split Coast!! Cathy is a wonderful card artist always adding her special artistic touch to all of her creations!

My sentiment says "Playing dress up never gets old" - and it doesn't -does it ladies?!?!?! The stamp set is called Fashion Icon and it's by Rubbernecker Stamps

WMS St. Paddy's Day Hop

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Everyone is Irish today right?!? LOL!! And WMS is celebrating with a customer blog hop over on the Waltzingmouse Forum I'm so thrilled with how my treat bag project came out today! I have had these nice little canvas bags for over a year but have been afraid to ink them not knowing if the images would look good when I stamped them on the cloth. I got my idea from a project I saw last year on Denise's blog.

But I decided to just bite the bullet and give it a try and I'm so glad I did! The Staz On ink worked just perfectly with Claire's quality clear stamps.

I used words and shamrocks from two different WMS stamp sets - Irish Blessings and Celtic Heritage. Here it is flattened out so you can see just what I stamped and how I lined it up.

My tag is a Sizzix die that I punched and hung on a key chain attaching it around the drawstring handle. The web store I purchased my bags at a year ago no longer has them so I did a google search and this is the closest thing I could find - the 6"x 8" loot bag with drawstring. My bag measures 5"x6" so it's slightly smaller. (If anyone knows where to get a bag like mine I'd appreciate your leaving a comment with the link!)

A cute little bag to give to an Irish friend! Now go check out the Waltzingmouse Forum so you can find the other St. Patrick's Day cards!

Remember to count the leprechaun's on all the DT's projects (check my pic at the top here) and post your total over at the Forum in the Play Room in the March Blog Hop Chat thread - there'll be a prize!

Stamps: Waltzingmouse - Irish Blessings, Celtic Heritage
Paper: Rustic White - PTI, Handsome Hunter - SU
Ink: Staz On Olive Green
Accessories: small oval punch - SU, beaded key chain - Michaels, clover eyelet - unknown, Cropadile, foam dimensionals, Sizzix Shamrock Die, canvas bag
