First Watercolor Media Card

This card I made for a friend that is on her way to a better life. She just had the procurer done where they put the band around your inner stomach so you don’t eat as much anymore. She has already lost 25 pounds before she even went in for it; do to all the fasting they had her do! I hope for the best in her transformation and I want her to do good so this card is for her encouragement to start feeling good about herself!

So I have been playing with other Medias to color my Magnolia stamps just like to experiment with other Medias and how they work. So far I have tried Prism color Pencils and they were ok but I just could not get the colors to blind correctly. I will probably try them again before I put the color pencils away! This was my attempt at coloring with Derwent Watercolor Pencils, not to bad if I do say so myself. I really enjoyed this media so much that I actually started working on another card using the Watercolor Pencils too. So we have not seen the last of this media for me! I also used some distress inks with blinder on the edges of my paper. I used my Gypsy along with my Cricut Expression to make lots of the cuts here. I just love all the creativity you can do with the Gypsy! Magnolia stamps are just lovely to make all these projects come alive!

My first Aisle Card

So I made this card for my sister in laws birthday and it was my first attempt to make the aisle cards that stand up for display. I used the Magnolia Tilda Stamp blowing Fairy Dust since it reminded me of Blowing out the candles to make your birthday wish. I also used my Home Decor Cricut Cartridge and my Cuddle Bug for the embossing. I can’t remember what the name of the paper that I used in the background it has little squiggly lines in the back ground like candle smock, I thought it went well with the card. My sister in law got it for my birthday a few years ago and there is not much of it left. I tend to use it a lot… :)

Spring is Blowing In!

Well it’s been a long while since I posted anything personal that I have been making so I thought I give it a go again. We been busy over at Scrappers Delight been doing lots of swaps and member rewards this year already! I even have a card challenge going this month.

This was my entry for the Card challenge we have this month, I also have tried entering into Magnolia Ink Magazine so I hope that I hear from them saying that I was one of the ones picked! I used the following products:

Magnolia Stamp: Fairy Tale Collection - Bubbling Tilda

Tim Holtz:

Distress Inks: TIM21483 - Scattered Straw, TIM21414 - Broken China, TIM20333 - Peeled Paint

Die Cut: Elegant Flourishes

More Brilliant Bugaboo

Hi everyone, Andria here again with another gorgeous creation from our Design Team. This is another creation made with images from our July sponsor Bugaboo Stamps. You really should go check out this website as the images are just totally adorable, something for everyone.

Amanda:

Amanda says:

"Just LOVE these Bugaboo stamps. They are so stinking adorable! And there is so much variety in what Jodie designs so there really is something for everyone. I used the FM Flower (Fat Mouse...hehehe) for this card. He was printed out at 3.25 inches on white cardstock from Papertrey Ink. Actually I printed him several times because I simply could not decide on good colors. Ultimately I made him a grey mouse. He was colored with Copic markers and I just LOVE my copic markers. The ease at which the colors blend is amazing and even for someone as inexperienced as me with coloring, I think I did a pretty good job :)

The pink cardstock is DCWV and the glitter patterned cardstock is My Mind's Eye. I did bling him up just a little with a few Stickles (another one my obessions). The stamps are ones I just got in the mail from Clear Dollar Stamps. The set is called Heartfelt Sentiments. I also used a Fiskars border punch and some yellow ribbon."
 

So We will be back very very soon with our August projects and our "Sweet As Candy" challenge.

D T projects

Hi everyone, this is Andria here again stepping in for Rebecca as she's on vacation, we all hope she has a brilliant time and deserves a relaxing break.

I'm here to share my July DT Project, we were again lucky enough to have been sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps.

Andria:

I used my Bugaboo image to make a card and matching gift tag for my goody hamper

My image was coloured with promarkers and then I added some black glitter to her dress and shoes and I added a few drops of brown glitter to the chocolates to look like sprinkles. The Design paper and ribbon were from my stash.

Well this is my final project for our Design Team as I have a lot of personal things going on right now and dont have as much time as I would like to dedicate to my crafts.

However I will be back to host our Sweet As Candy Challenge at the end of August

Please keep your eyes peeled for more news to follow

Batty about Bugaboo

Hi, it's Andria here again with a wonderful project from our fellow DT Teamie Jasmine. Again this month we were given permission to choose one Bugaboo stamp to work with on our projects. Here is Jasmines work:

Jasmine:

Isn't this just the cutest little guy, reminds me of the "Whuzzles" (a cartoon on UK tele in 80's). That Ice cream looks good enough to eat.

Jasmines inspiration behind the card was a very exciting challenge we have coming up in August. So keep your eyes peeled for more info on the "Sweet as Candy" challenge.

I'll be back soon with some more creations.

Another slice of inspiration

Good morning, I'm back with two more gorgeous projects from our Design Team. Both projects were again made with Bugaboo stamps.

Jude:

I find there is nothing better than a hot cup of cocoa on a cold winters night, especially when your tucked up in bed listening to the howling winds outside.

Jasmine:

Jasmine made this tag on her computer isn't she clever? you can just print and go :)

Remember for the month of June & July our sponsors are Bugaboo stamps. Our projects are going to be judged by the fabulous Jodie and the winner can choose 7 yes that's right 7 free digi stamps for their own use.

For more details on how to sign up please visit our Scrappers Delight community.

Brilliant Bugaboo Stamps

Hi everyone it's Andria here again with some more totally stunning creations from our talented Design Team.
Again for the month of June we have been working with Bugaboo Stamps, please stop by the website and check out these fantastic images for yourself.

Rebecca:

"I used regular Card Stock, and a Wood grain stamp put out by Hero Arts and Cricut Wild West Cart for the Happy Tails and Platinum School Book for the Grass, Copic Markers, and Bugaboo Digi Stamp.

I made this card for my dad's father’s day."

Andria:

"I chose this stamp as I needed to create a Golden Wedding anniversary Card for a family friend. I distressed the image with promarkers (tan, sandstone, cinnamon, cocoa, burnt sienna and shale) and then put a layer of crackle accents on the top.

The two hearts were cut with a cuttlebug die and raised on foam pads to act as a buffer. The ribbon was from my stash and design papers were all MME Wild asparagus range.

The main image hides a hidden tag, the tag has the sentiment which came with the stamp."

You have to agree these stamps are just brilliant, something for every occasion.

June Design Team Projects

Wow where has time gone, we are so sorry that we have not posted for a while, guess time just runs away with you sometimes. So our June sponsor over at Scrappers Delight was the fantastic Bugaboo stamps.

This month we got to choose our own digi images to work with and as if that's not cool enough, our creations are going to be judged  by the super talented lady responsible for these gorgeous images Jodie and the winner can choose 7 of their own stamps as their prize :). For more details of joining up to our Design Team visit our community here.

So here is some of our very talented DT's creations:

Ginger

"here is my card for June

paper is My Mind's eye

and the stamp is CTMH

Amanda

"For this card I used the alligator balloon stamp from Bugaboo. It was SO HARD to pick an image to use since so many of them were just too adorable!

I colored him in with my copic markers and added a little grass.

Paper is from DCWV and the white card stock is PTI

Other items used: Swiss Dots cuttlebug folder, brads, brown Memento Ink"

 

Wow didn't these ladies do well, I'll be back soon with some more gorgeous projects to share.
