Whipper Snapper/Designed2Delight Blog Hop

This is your next stop on the Whipper Snapper/Designed2Delight Blog Hop.

Hopefully you haven't had any trouble hopping along and you landed here via Jen McGee's blog.  How cute was her Halloween card?!!  I am thinking that "I NEED" the whole set of stamps!
If not, you will want to go back to the BEGINNING and check out all the wonderful designs along the way.

A big CONGRATS to Faith for her winning designs that were made into rubber stamps for Whipper Snapper Designs.

Don't forget to leave a comment on this blog post for a chance to win a $3 Gift Voucher to the D2D Shop.  Who can't use a FREE digi?!!

Moving from Halloween to Birthday fun...


I couldn't resist working with this sweet cupcake image.  Cupcakes and buttons?...now that is what I call SWEEEET!  Each cute cupcake is topped with a button that I added Glossy accents to create a little shine.  I added some Stardust Glitter pen to the swirls and candle flame for some sparkle.  Faith created a special pack of papers to go with her designs for Whipper Snapper.  I used the purple gingham DP to match my purple and pink cupcakes. I used the birthday EF for the background the cupcakes are place on. A pretty pink crocheted flower and a purple button center accent the white grograin bow.  This is a card for someone special! 

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget...

  Leave a comment for a chance to win a $3 Gift Voucher to the D2D Shop.   Stay with us until the end and you will be delighted with a little surprise.

Autumn Harvest

Be sure and stop back by on Monday.  The D2D design team is having a blog hop showcasing Faith's new Whipper Snapper Fall/Winter Designs.  There will be lots of digi's to be given away!



I am absolutely loving this new digi from Designed2Delight!  I have so many ideas for using it running through my mind.  It's a great Autumn image!  I tried something new...I have had this canvas paper for some time now and wanting to use it.  I printed the image directly onto the canvas paper which I attached to a piece of card stock.  I wasn't really sure if it would work or not in my printer, but yea!!..it worked great!  I just used my Copics to color the image.  Then again, not sure about coloring with Copics on the canvas, but yep...it worked just fine.  I generated my own sentiment to fit inside the tiny tag punch and attached it with an orange brad.  I just trimmed the image to fit in a frame and there you go...a decor piece for Autumn.  I give it 2 thumbs up for printing and coloring on canvas :)

I will be doing a tutorial on printing and coloring on Canvas later in the week.

Recipe:
Stamps - Autumn Harvest (D2D)
Paper - Canvas (The Paper Studio)
Coloring - Copics
Misc - Frame, Tag punch (MS), brad, brown ink.

Paper - Fall Stripe (The Paper Studio), Amber Autumn (DCWV)
Coloring - Copics
Misc - Circle, Long Rectangle dies (Spellbinders), Picket Fence punch (MS), Stardust gel pen (Spica), Leaves embossing folder (The Paper Studio), Leaf sticker

It's a busy kind of day and I need to run, but I will be back with the recipe for my card and more.

Happy Friday!

School Maisie Belle

Back as promised with my card using "School Maisie Belle" image by D2D.



I don't know which I love more the name, Maisie Belle or the image?  Very school related card using lots of hoarded school related papers.  I added a mini red brad for the button on Maisie Belle's dress and 4 more!  I don't think that I will ever use up all of my hoarded brads!  I added a hole reinforcement to the sentiment that I colored with a marker.  Don't forget that the Friday Free Stamp Challenge at Delightful Inspiration is using this adorable image.  If you haven't been playing along all month, then you can still join in on the fun and purchase the image in the D2D shop.

Waiting for Autumn

Anything Goes

No excuses this week.  Just play with whatever D2D image that you own.  It's that easy :)

Here is my card:

I, so love to create with Autumn colors.  They are my most favorite color combos...oranges, browns, greens and yellows.  I can almost smell the wonderful scents of Autumn.  Something about argyle and Autumn seem to go together.  I actually used my Sizzix button die to embellish the border strip.  I had to have that die and it has been sitting in my craft room for way too long without ever being used.  Why do I do that?  I used a real button on the image.  I am sure you will be seeing more of this image in the near future.


Stamps: Stitched Pumpkin set (D2D)

Ballerina Teddy


Well, I am either late posting today or early for tomorrow.  I want to think in a positive way and say that I am posting early for Wednesday.  I have a list a mile long this week to try and get done and sneaking in some creative time has not been easy.  I have actually had this image, "Ballerina Teddy" by Whimsy and Stars Studio colored up for about a week now and waiting to decide on which DP to use.  I finally decided on a pattern from the Songbird Collection by My Mind's Eye (floral), Amber Autumn Collection by DCWV (embossed red) and Spook Tacular Collection by K & Company (orange/red polka dots).  I am really liking the red, orange and yellow color combo.  It feels very festive to me.  I added some glitter to the ruffles on the skirt and the star wand.  I cut out one of the flowers from the DP and added a felt button to the center and used it an an embellishment.  I even added some gemstones to the tips of the crown.  I don't seem to use my hoarded gemstone quite enough :(

If you like Mabelle's designs...you have another day or two to pick up a free one here on FB.

I sure am going to miss working as a designer with Mabelle's images, as this is my last month on the Whimsy and Stars Guest Design Team.  You can be sure that I will continue to create with her adorable images :)

Challenges:
Bearly Mine - Bring on the Bling
Clear It Out - Glitter
Creative Craft World - For a Child

Back to School Thanks



Another fun image from Whimsy & Stars Studio.  Since school is just around the corner or in some cases, already started, I wanted to create a card using a school image.  I have had the image colored for a couple of weeks now and was wanting to get it made into a card.  Sometimes there is just not enough creating hours in a day!!  I used DP from the Amber Autumn stack by DCWV and Homework by Cosmo Cricket.  I made the lil' chalkboards with black cardstock and a white gel pen.  The "thanks" sentiment is from the SU! set, Three Thoughts, stamped with white ink to get the chalk effect.  Just a little paperclip with some ribbon was the finishing touch.

Challenges:
Celebrate the Occasion - Back to School
Daisy Doodles Creative Challenges - School Time
Heart Song Inspirations - Back to School

Coffee Girl



Lots of dots, checks and stripes.  I am loving this image, "Coffee Girl" and the colors that I ended up with.  I have thoroughly enjoyed my time on the Whimsy and Star Studio Guest Design Team and totally honored to have given the opportunity to work with Mabelle's original designs. 

The DP is from the Sweet Nectar collection by K & Company.  The sentiment is from the stamp set, Coffee Cafe by TPC Studio.  I used a white gel pen to add all the white dots to the image.  It's the little things that add so much to the image after coloring and I need to remember to used my white gel pen more often :)
