Pink Paislee Rocket

So, yesterday's card was too girly and this is the one that met with ds's approval and was boyish enough for his friend.

The card base is textured Wild Wasabi and the patterned paper is from the Hostess Prints Pack.  I'm going to miss the In Colors from this past year but have a feeling that it will only be fleeting because the new In Colors ROCK!!!!  Other colors used are Blue Bayou and Neenah Solar White.

I stamped the rocket from Pink Paislee's Vintage Pop on Neenah Solar White with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored it in with the following Copics:  BG000, BG10, BG72, BG75, YG11, YG17, and G21.  I went over the eyes and smile with a Black Copic Spica Glitter pen for a hint of sparkle--boys like things that sparkle, too, right?  The rocket is cut out with an oval nestie and mounted on a Blue Bayou piece that is also cut out with an oval nestie.  I placed this piece on dimensionals and mounted it a little askew so it looked like it was blasting off.  The sentiment is from PTI's Pond Life Sentiments and is stamped with Blue Bayou on Neenah Solar White.  I used my small corner rounder to round one side and a small square punch to clip out the other end.  I got this idea from Natasha's blog.  This is also mounted on dimensionals.  Finally, I cut a little slit in the fold of the card and tied some Striped Wasabi Grosgrain through it.  This was a fun card to make and I really, really love my Pink Paislee Vintage Pop set.  I can't believe I've made 4 different cards with this set.  I'm infamous for getting a set, using it once, and then moving on.  My goal is to try to use everything I have for more than one card from now on.

Thanks for visiting and come back soon!

Fuzzy Birdie

I still cannot get enough of my Pink Paislee Vintage Pop stamps!  This cute little bird is from the set and I'm about to go and stamp and make another card with another of the images.  

This card fits in with Thursday's Ways to Use It Challenge at SCS which was to use birds.

I stamped the bird with Memento Rich Cocoa  on Neenah Solar White and then colored him in with Copics.  Then I cut him out and embossed him with a square Nestability and matted him on  a Rose Red square and Tempting Turquoise square that were also cut out with Nestabilites.  Then I covered him with my Quickie Glue Pen and used Doodlebug Crushed Velvet Flock on top of him.  I love how soft and fuzzy he is!  His eye kind of got lost under all the flocking so I added a dot of Cinnamon Stickles over his eye for a tiny bit of bling.  The cardbase is Rose Red and the patterned paper is from BasicGrey's Euphoria line---I looooooooooooove this paper!!!!!!  I mounted my focal image on dimensionals and ran a piece of Turquoise Grosgrain ribbon around the card.  The sentiment is from my SAB rubons that I'm slowly using over time.  Finally, I added some piercing around the edges of the focal piece to frame it even a little more.

Isn't this cute!!!!  I never would have put these colors together but the patterned paper has some really cool colors in it and I think it actually works!

Rockin' Skull

Ok, I think you're going to be seeing a lot more of my Pink Paislee Vintage Pop set. I love all the images and they're so much fun!!!!!

We've got a birthday party to attend for the next 3 weekends, plus there's also a wedding to go to so I've got lots of *real* reasons to stamp these days. I made this card for a friend of ds who's turning 7 and he saw it, liked it, but then told me that his friend likes purple and I need to make him a purple card. So, this may be going to someone else. . .

Here's the deets: cardbase is Going Gray and other cardstock used is Basic Black, Real Red, & Neenah Solar White. Patterned paper is from the Rock Star Paper Pack by DCWV. Ribbon is from SU's Jersey Ribbon Originals. The little skull embellishment is some grungeboard that I painted with a silver acrylic paint dauber. Ink used is Memento Tuxedo Black and Brilliance Rocket Red. Other items used include stickles, copics, circle Nestabilities, and Ranger Glossy Accents.

and. . .I have a confession to make. I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig for the first time ever on this card! I tried to use markers to ink up the sentiment (which is from Verve Visual) but the markers just weren't working on the acrylic for me and I really wanted the little pop of red. I don't know what I waited for. The Stamp-a-ma-jig is pretty cool and I may have to break it out a little more. I always felt too lazy to do it but then again, when you see how much crap I pull out to make a card, what's one more tool?

Luv this dino!

DD has a birthday party for one of her classmates this Sunday and here's the card I made. I think it's perfect for a little boy who's turning 4, don't you? I got the cutest stamp set that I've been eyeing for awhile at my LSS recently. It's Pink Paislee's Vintage Pop and it's so perfect for kid's cards. I know I'll get a lot of use out of this one. I think I may have to start buying more Pink Paislee stuff because it's so darn cute!!!!

I stamped the dino in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Neenah Solar White and colored him in with copics. The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink's Mixed Messages and is also stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black. The dino is cut out with oval Nestabilities and then matted on Basic Black and Wild Wasabi which were also cut out with oval Nesties. The cardbase is Wild Wasabi and the patterned paper is from Sassafras Lass. Brads are retired SU Vintage Brads and the ribbon is from one of the SU ribbon originals but I can't remember which one at this time. The focal image is up on dimensionals. I used a little bit of my black Copic Spica glitter pen on his eye and the little horns on his back--are they horns or what exactly are they called?.

Anyway, it's late and I need to hit the hay. 2 more days of work until I'm on vacation :-)
