Release of new stamps at SCACD today!




I'm so excited to show you one of the wonderful new images released by Susana at SCACD today!
Smiley from millan.net
Two mini stamp sets, one of them is designed by the fabulous Elisabeth Bell and called The Special Edition Ornament Collection. I've used this gorgeous stamp called Surprise on my card. She's so sweet with her lil' puppy, wonderful for both Christmas cards and birthday cards.
I colored the image with Prismacolor pencils, and cut it out with Nestabilities dies. Added a ribbon and a heart charm, a QuicKutz Poinsettia and some Kaisercraft Rhinestones.







The other mini stamp set that's released today is designed by the wonderful Victoria Case, and it's called Everyday Gals. Beautiful and fun girl images, I can't wait to start using them on my cards!

On both sets there are Susanaments (sentiments) to go along with the beautiful stamps, this really is a fab deal! And the ornament stamps are almost like two stamps in one, the 'ornament frame' can be masked off, then you'll have some cute girlie stamps to use for any occasion!
The stamp sets, and single stamps, will be available in the shop at 9AM PST (6AM EST), (3PM CET).

Today you will get to see all the stamps used by Susana's DT, please stop by my fabulous DT sister's blogs to check them out:







And now a message from me, I will not be posting any cards in a week or so,
I fell and injured my right hand.

It has to heal and rest a few days before I'll be able to craft again.
But I'll be back on Oct. 1st to tell you the winner of my blog candy!

Friday Sketchers # 71 ~ Old Magnolia







Time for a new sketch at the Friday Sketchers blog, this week's fabulous sketch is made by Jeanette. I had a great time using it for my card, I mirrored the sketch, just 'cause I felt like it. Smiley from millan.net

I did a real good diggin' in my pile of stamps, and came up with this old Magnolia image, Emilia, one of the first stamps that ever came from that company. I like these old ones very much, small and cute. I colored Emilia with Prismacolor pencils, and the sentiment is computer generated.

Take a look at the wonderful cards made by my talented DT sisters over at the Friday Sketchers blog, find inspiration and join us in the challenge, nice prizes to win!

TIOT # 37 ~ Lily, Tweety and a Snowman




Try It Out Tuesday with Flower Soft, yes, that's today's challenge for us at SCACD's DT.
A bit embarrasing to admit this, but it is the very first time I use Flower Soft! It was fun, and I'll do it more often from now on!

The cute image is from the Lily and Tweety sheet by Pink Cat Studio from SCACD. I colored with Prismacolor pencils first, and then put Polar White Flower Soft on the snowman. It sparkles, but I added a little bit more glitter.
Smiley from millan.net

The sentiment is by Catslife Press. Used Nestabilities dies to cut out both image and sentiment. I put on some snowflakes made with a Martha Stewart punch, and metal snowflakes and Kaisercraft pearls.

On the company blog Follow Your Heart you can see all the wonderful cards by the rest of the DT ladies!

Friday Sketchers # 70 ~ Aloha








It's Friday and a new fabulous sketch over at the Friday Sketchers blog, today it's the talented Jacque's sketch we've played with!
I'm not quite ready to let go of the summer just yet, so I made a card with a cute Hope & Grace image from The Greeting Farm, Hawaiian style, and masked in a palm tree by Magnolia.

I colored as usual with my darling Prismacolor pencils, and got to use two new punches of mine, Hydrangea flower by MS, and Morocco Lace by EK Success, they're fab!

TIOT # 36 ~ Triangular Tri-fold



A new lovely Tuesday, and a new lovely TIOT challenge for the SCACD DT! Suzanne asked us to make a triangular tri-fold card using this tutorial: Triangular Tri-fold. Very fun to make!

I just had to pull out my Aud stamp again, I think it's so cool to have such a pretty stamp named after me! It's from the Hearts and Hugs Collection Series #2 by Victoria Case for SCACD.
I colored 'me' with Prismacolor pencils, made the card base following the instructions, but not quite. I made a small change in the size, in stead of 3 1/2" x 10 1/2", I made mine 4" x 12". Then the card front was big enough to fit my image, and with this size, you can get three cards from one 12 x 12" cs. Added some punched flowers and leaves, and Kaisercraft pearls. And a ribbon of course.




I put some dp on the back of the card too.

I made my card a little bit larger than the tutorial shows.
Here's a template I made. Click to enlarge.




On the company blog Follow Your Heart you can see all the wonderful cards by the rest of the DT ladies!

Friday Sketchers # 69 ~ My First DT Card!



OK, so here we go! Smiley from millan.net
My first card as a DT member for the Friday Sketchers blog!
I feel a bit nervous since it's my first time taking part on 'the other side' of the sketch challenge, to be showing a sample card.
I'd like to say a big thank you to the lovely ladies
of the design team for the warm welcome!
Smiley from millan.net

We have a wonderful sketch this week by Jacqueline!
I've used the cute Rian from Elisabeth Bell for SCACD on my card, colored with Prismacolor pencils. The sentiment is by Whipper Snapper Designs.

Hope you'll take a look at the cards made by my talented DT sisters over at the Friday Sketchers blog, and join us in the challenge, nice prize to win!









The butterflies are from a laser cut sheet by Karen Marie Klip
I put lots of Stickles on them, really sparkly IRL

TIOT # 35 ~ Sweet Susy




Today we're having a sketch challenge at the SCACD's DT, a wonderful sketch made by Suzanne.
I used cute Susy from the Hearts and Hugs Collection Series #2 by Victoria Case for SCACD, colored her with prismacolor pencils, and cut her out with my beloved Nestabilities dies. Don't understand how I got by without the Nesties before they came on the market! Other indispensable stuff are the Kaisercraft pearls that I used in the Petaloo Dazzlers flower centers.
A thing I can live without is the good ole' paper crimper, but it was fun diggin' it out and use it in the making of this card! The sentiment is by Hero Arts.
