Tag - You're It!

Hiya! It is time for another All That Scraps Wednesday Challenge and we have a really fun one this week - Gift Tags!! When I saw this I thought this would be a fun quick project that I would make a bunch of (quick because I didn't have to think about the card part, and fun because coloring is my favorite part!!) I still had a really fun time, but I somehow veered away from the quick! My tags are almost as big as cards (and I thoroughly admit to thinking about turning them into cards and starting over on the tag part!!)

The first one uses a Sweet November digi image from last year (It is still available if you look in the digi section at All That Scraps!) I colored her and cut her out but I had to redraw the string holding her star because I couldn't cut that precisely! I also just realized I forgot to put her halo back on!!

The Details:
Stamp: Angel Babies - Sweet November, Amy R Merry and Bright Sentiments - both from All That Scraps
Paper: My Minds Eye (very old from my stash), Prism Nautical Blue MD, White (Copic XPress)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Faded Jeans Distress Ink

For the next one I used another Sweet November image - these Baby stamps are so much fun to paper piece! I can't seem to stop myself from doing that when I use them! I also cut a felt Christmas tree using a Sizzix die and gave it some glittered brad ornaments.

The Details:
Stamp: Baby Present Girl - Sweet November from All That Scraps
Paper: My Minds Eye, White (Copic XPress)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Copics:
Skin: E000,E00,E11,R00,R20

Misc: Sizzix Tree Die, Doodlbug Sugared Brads, Ribbon (Offray)

For my last tag I used the adorable new Tickled Pink Ornaments Cherrie. I colored her and cut her out using a circle Nestability die, leaving the head and part of her dress outside the cutting area.

The Details:
Stamp:Tickled Pink Ornament Cherrie, AmyR Merry and Bright Sentiments- both from All That Scraps
Paper: My Minds Eye, Pure Poppy (Papertrey Ink), White (Copic XPress)

ATS Wednesay Challenge

Hello! It is time for another challenge at the ATS Wednesday Challenge blog and this one is a new one for me! I tend to do "just cards" so my knowledge of anything else is pretty limited. Good thing there is a great tutorial HERE for this week's challenge "Box in a Bag". It was really quite easy (it took way more time and effort creating the paper for the background than actually making the Box in a Bag! I created the background by using a couple of different colors of Glimmer Mist (plus a few homemade one's) along with a seascape mask. It was shaped like an anemone. Everything has lots of spray on it (even her tail) so it is very sparkly!

The Details:
Stamps: Fathom Calmsea, AmyR Summer Sentiments - both from All That Scraps
Paper: White for background (Georgia Pacific), Night of Navy (SU), White for image (Papertrey Ink)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Copics:
Skin: R00,E00,E11,R20
Hair:BV01,BV02,BV04,V04
Tail:G14,G05,G17,BV02,V04
Misc: Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist, Pearls (Reminisce?), Fiskars Wave Punch, Martha Stewart Large Border Punch (Shell looking handle piece), Ribbon (SU), Stardust Stickles.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you will get a chance to join us in the challenge this week.Remember, every week there is a new and exciting prize being offered and in order to be eligible to win, your card must include a stamp that is sold in the All That Scraps store. Whether it is any of our wonderful in house designs or from the various other stamp companies that ATS carries, the choice is yours.

Pink and Brown at ATS!

Hello! We have a color challenge for you today at the ATS Challenge Blog - pink and brown! I used some older My Mind's Eye paper from my stash and slightly altered a new Sweet November Fairy, Clover Greenfield, so she could hold a cupcake. I just rubbed away the ink on the arm that was tucked behind her back before I stamped her, which just left me to draw fer arm from the elbow out. The cupcake is from the CC Designs stamp Cupcake Kiki. I am not fond of masking - I would rather stamps something a few times, cut it out and layer it to get that same look, so that is how the cupcake was put in her hand!

The Details:
Stamp: Clover Greenfield (Sweet November Stamps), Cupcake Kiki (CC Designs), Amy R Big Words - All from All That Scraps
Paper: My Minds Eye, Iced Azalea (Prism), White (Paper Trey Ink)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Walnut Stain Distress ink

ATS Shaped Card Challenge

Hello! Our challenge today at the All That Scraps Challenge Blog is to make a shaped card. I admit that this is a challenge for me!! (And apparently taking a picture of a shaped card is also a challenge! I don't know why it is so stretched out and strange looking.!)


I decided I wanted to put Chenille (from the new Sweet November set Darby and Chenille) on a flower. I used my Tinkerbell Cricut cartridge to cut the flower. I cut a circle out of Kraft cardstock and attached a lot of Dew Drops with Crystal Effects. (I hope that will hold them on there permanently!)

Stamps: Darby and Chenille (Sweet November), Amy R Spring Sentiments - both from All That Scraps
Paper: Summer Sun, Kraft (SU), White (Paper Trey Ink)

Sidhe Makes Me Happy!

Why, hello! It feels like ages since I've been here....sorry about that. I have been working on a few things I can't show you yet, and the rest wasn't worth showing you (in fact they were downright embarrassing!)! I was getting seriously bummed about it! But yesterday I sat down to make my card for this week's All That Scraps Wednesday Challenge (which is a sketch challenge this week), and I was so pleased with it! Ginger has totally lifted my spirits! (And just in case you are wondering what in the world my title means, Sidhe is pronounced Shee and basically means Faerie!)


All of those layers in the sketch seemed a bit intimidating at first, but once I picked my papers it was easy because they all came from the same line so coordinating wasn't a problem. I paper pieced her dress and the mushrooms from some of the DP. Her wings were stamped separately on vellum and coated in Stardust Stickles. I didn't have a sentiment small enough that said what I wanted so I just hand wrote my sentiment this time. I was so thrilled that the Sugraplum stump fit Ginger perfectly, too!

The Details:
Stamps: Ginger (Sweet November), Sugarplums Stump (CC Designs) - both All That Scraps
Paper: My Minds Eye, Vellum, Chocolate Chip (SU), White (Paper Trey Ink)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Walnut Distress Ink
Copics:
Skin: R00,E00,E11,R20
Hair and Stump: E21,E25,E27,E29
Clothes: YR00,YR14
Mushroom Stem: E50,E53,E55
Misc: Stardust Stickles. Brads (SU)

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you will join us in the ATS challenge this week! There is always a prize offered and all you have to do is use stamps sold at All That Scraps (and there are TONS of different brands they carry) to make your challenge card, then upload it using the Mr Linky at the ATS Wednesday Challenge Blog!

Good Luck!

Well, I have had quite a few exciting, wonderful opportunities open to me in the last month and now I have more news!! 2 days ago Christine from All That Scraps asked me if I would like to be a part of All That Scraps Challenge blog! Would I! Well, of course I would!! I get a lot of my paper and embellishments from ATS and they are also the place to get Sweet November Stamps (plus LOTS of other adorable stamps!!)


So last night I found out that today's challenge was to create "Valentine Packaging". I used the fabulous Sparkle Thistleweed (yep, she's been showing up a lot lately! I can't seem to stop using her!) The container was made with my Cricut and the Boxes, Tags and More cartridge. (Don't look too closely at the candy - it is leftover Christmas candy! I would be embarrassed that it is still around but I am too proud of myself that I haven't eaten it!!)

The Details:
Stamp: Sparkle Thistleweed - Sweet November Stamps
Paper: Basic Grey, Close to Cocoa (SU), White (Paper Trey Ink)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo black, Close to Cocoa (SU)
