MerMay Monday Part 3!

 It is time for another round of MerMay Monday!

This week I wanted to showcase two of the projects I did using our You Are Magical Stamp Set. 

In the first project you will notice I colored the mermaid in super bright and vibrant colors. In the second project I really challenged myself to dial it back and create this stunning mermaid sitting on her rock in white! 

Its incredible how versatile this stamp set is and how much you can change the outcome of your project by changing up the colors you use!

Make sure to check out our previous MerMay Monday’s Part One and Part Two post for other incredible projects our teams has done! Toodles!

She colored in the image using Copic Markers and then did this incredible oxide background with the Water Mandala Stencil. To finish off she used some of the adorable Sweet Mermaid Sweet Sequins.

Hey Mermaid

Hey hey hey... this mermaid is sure to make you smile.... the third in the new MerMay release from Some Odd Girl.  Check her out!

When I saw her I just knew that she would be laying out on a rock, sunning herself, and becoming any passing sailor.  Those poor fools have no idea what's coming.  I love her swath of brunette hair and this bubblegum pink tail.  I used my favorite Die from Honey Bee Stamps to cut out the scene, and then placed it atop a piece of incredible First Edition paper.  I added a huge pink organza bow and a few Nuvo drops for good measure. 

I hope that you are loving this amazing MerMay as much as I am.  I'll be back tomorrow with yet another mermaid to share with you.

Mmmmm.... I think I need another cup of coffee.... yup, pretty sure I do, Toodles! 

Mermaid Tunes

Oh Em Gee you guys!!!! I LOVE this next mermaid soooo much!  Check this out!!!

Ok, so I love that she is totally rocking out to her favorite music and I felt like she would be topside for this.  Just breaking the surface of the water and catching some rays.  I used a piece of paper from my stash that is rustic weathered wood with some peeling teal paint, and cute the card front out using a die from Honey Bee Stamps.  Then I added a really neat fiber from Busy Box Blends By Pammy J, and a fun Nuvo drops to finish off the look.  I LOVE this card so much! 

Okie dokie, I'm going to turn the music up and finish this cup of coffee!  Toodles!

Time for mermaids!!!!!

Welcome to MerMay my friends,  I promise you an overdose of mermaids and their friends for the entire month.  I have THREE new images to share with you today! Yup, three! 

I'm going to start this off with a cool new digital Image from Stamper's Delights. 

I love that Janice drew a MerBoy! You don't see a lot of male mermaids out there, so I was quite delighted to see this one.  I figured he needed to be in traditional boy colors and he would totally be getting into mischief as well. Check it out:

Next up is the sweet little mermaid and her fun little friend.  I loved the geodes in the foreground, Janice always adds so many cool details in her images. 

When I saw her my mind immediately went to rebellious teenager trying to find a hiding place to get away from her parents and siblings.  So I placed her in this little sea cavern.  I mean, can you blame her?  I'd totally go down to the sandy bottom and hang out with this adorable little squid away from everyone else who lives under the sea. Lol!

Next up, are these sweet little MerFriends.  They are totally finished with social distancing and are ready to make up for lost time. 

I decided they were going to be getting into a little mischief of their own hanging out in all the ruins of a sunken city.  I mean, that's what kids do right?  

I hope you enjoyed these images! They were so much fun to color and I loved creating stories and scenes for them!  Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you back here tomorrow for more under the sea fun!  I'm off to get some coffee as my cup is empty.  Toodles! 

Oh S%!#!!!

Yeah, so at some point this whole Coronavirus thing is going to end.... so I decided to make a card that reflected THAT sentiment exactly..... here it is:

The image is a Digi from Moonlight Whispers by Annie Rodrigue which was printed on Xpress it Blending stock.... Wow I haven't used that paper for a long time, and let me tell you.... I used to be a snob and only use that paper! NOT ANYMORE!!!! I HATE it now.  I'm a Sweet Sentiment Paper Snob in every sense of the word!  

Anyways, I busted open a new doodlebug paper pack and went to town with it.... So happy I did, these super bright colors and geometric patterns are perfect for the layers of this card. 

I heat embossed the sentiments which are from Ink Road Stamps. Then I added Stickles to it, because it needed a little sparkle. 

I hope you love this card.  I thought it was kind of hilarious.  I tend to handle the most serious of situations with humor, so this was totally right up my alley.  

Ok, I need more coffee.... as usual... talk to you all later... toodles! 

Polka Dot Orchard Project

Well, now that we all have a little time to stop and smell the roses, IF you can smell them through the face mask you're supposed to be wearing, I've branched out a bit and found a new company with awesome digit to play with!  That new company is named Polka Dot Orchard!!! Seriously though, you should totally check them out.

I found this amazing Rose Digi and I cannot stop coloring!  OMG I LOVE it so much!!!!! Check it out.

Copic Markers Used: R56, R85, R83, R81, YR21, Y21, Y000, BG96, G94, YG63, G24, G20

I added this amazing image to some incredible Authentique papers and added a few Nuvo drops in a soft translucent gray color.  The satin ribbon was from Hobby Lobby I believe. I just love how this card came out, it's not my usual style, but it was fun to push myself to do something soft and beautiful.  

Ok, I need more coffee, so here I go.  Don't forget to stop and smell the roses, visit Polka dot Orchard, and WASH YOUR HANDS!!!! Toodles! 

Hope it doesn't suck

Ok, so you all know I like to use stamp sets in ways that are unique and maybe even not the intended purpose.  That's why I try to make all o fly stamp sets super versatile.  The Stamp set "I Hope it Doesn't Suck" is no acceptation to the rule..... Check out these cards that I made today...

This is the Image as I colored it in the class for January.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE how this came together.  She is so sassy and just looks like a person I would totally be friends with.  She has attitude, and it not into this workout at all! hahahahaha!

Today, I colored her in a TOTALLY different way, I made her a ginger! hahaha!  I really wanted to use some bright and fun spring time looking papers, and this card allowed me to do just that.  

This just goes to show you, you can color any stamp in any way, you just have to let your imagination go a little wild.  That's the fun in getting crafty!

Now, I'm off to make some more coffee! I'll see ya all soon!  Toodles!!!! 

A Little Zodiac Mermaid

Hey there Oddies and Sweeties, I have a fun little birthday card to share with you all today.... Zodiac style!  Check it out:

I used the Pisces digital image from Some Odd Girl and colored her up with Copic markers. 

You can check out the image by clicking here: ♓

The background is made using the Sweet Sentiment Mandala Stencil and a few colors of Distress Oxide Inks.  I used a stamp from The Rabbit Hole Designs and some black WOW Embossing powder on a piece of vellum to make the sentiment. Then I added some Nuvo drops and a little satin ribbon to complete the card.  I also used some foam squares to pop up the little mermaid to add a little dimension to the project.  Here's a side view for you to see. 

Ok, I really hope that you all love this little card and I hope that you all have a wonderful weekend! 

I'm off to grab another cup of coffee, toodles! 

Cute Veggies!

Hey Oddies and Sweeties!  I'm here today to show you a new little project I made! Since Sweet Sentiment is doing an ATC swap this month, and the theme is Kawaii, I navigated my way straight over to the Some Odd Girl Shop to check out what was available to make these ATCs the cutest ever. As usual, Kristy did not disappoint!  Check out these adorable Veggies!

I used the Carrot and the Broccoli. 

I colored these cuties in using my Copic markers on some Sweet Sentiment Coloring paper.  I then mounted them on some Doodlebug paper from the "So Punny" collection.  I added a little pink and white bakers twine, and used Distress Oxide Black Soot ink around all of the layers to give it that finished look.  I just adore how these came out, good thing I mad an extra to keep for myself.... shhhhh don't tell ok? 

I hope these little ATCs inspire you to maybe join in our next swap, or to hop on over to the SOG shop and check out all of the cute Digis that are there!  I'm serious, I love them all! 

I'm off to make a cup of coffee!  Toodles! 

You'd better know how to swim!

Hey there Sweeties and Oddies!  I'm here today to share with you another fun DT project from Some Odd Girl! 

Allow me to introduce to you "Mermaid Piper."   I just adore her and her little come hither look over the shoulder.  I think she's fun with just a little bit of sass going on inside that head of hers.  That's why I chose to use that particular sentiment.  I put it inside the card, but I wanted you all to see it as well! 

I colored this image up using Copic markers on Sweet Sentiment Coloring paper. I didn't write down my color, I'm sorry, but this was one of those times when I didn't want to think about it, I just wanted to color.  When I was finished, there was a massive heap of markers on my desk and I quickly put them all away before I needed coffee (or wine) to make it happen! lol! I added some really cool netting I got from one of my friends (Busy Box Blends) who makes fiber blends for craft projects.  I thought the netting went perfectly with this nautical theme here.  All of the papers are from Authentique and the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. 

Okie dokie, I'm going to go grab that cup of coffee I was talking about because it's time for me to hit the road as I'm on my way to Creativation today! Woohoo!!!! See ya all soon!  Toodles! 

Day 3 of releases from The Rabbit Hole Designs

Ok, so today is day 3 and I'm here to show you three more projects!  Yeah 3!

First of all I want to show you the awesome new stencils that were released..... check these out!

How awesome are these????? I love them.  They are called "circle Illusion" and "Square Illusion" and they are wicked fun to work with.  I just sprayed them with my trusty Pixie Spray and laid them down on Sweet Sentiment Paper and went to town with my Oxide Inks! I added sentiments from the NEW "Anti-Valentines Day" stamp set that was also part of this release as well! I love the snark! 

Ok, the last card I'm going to be showing you today is this one: 

This stamp set is called "Put a Bow on It" and I saw it and immediately wanted to color a whole rainbow of ribbons!!!! It was a lot of fun to color this and I can see myself using it a lot more in the future.  It also comes with he sentiments "Hope" and "Love" in a pretty scripty font, so I used the word love and some clear embossing powder (for the very first time) to make the background.  I added another bow, because... well, YEAH!!!! Ha ha ha!
