I'll Get You My Pretty! --PP315

October 2, 2016

It's Sunday and time for a new challenge at The Paper Players!

I am the hostess this week and our theme is Halloween!

I sure hope you will join in the fun!  I think of Halloween as a day for children to dress up, pretend, go to a party, trick or treat and eat candy!  I loved Halloween when I was teaching because of the delight it brought to the children.

I have wanted to use this stamp for a long time.  I bought it month's ago and couldn't wait to create my card with it.  

My base card is white.  I used a piece of purple for my first layer.  The retired spider web SU embossing folder was used for the next layer on black paper.  The witch is from Art Impressions-Best Witches Set.  I stamped her on Neenah Solar white paper and colored her with Copic Markers.  

Her bottom actually wobbles.  I colored her bottom twice and used the matching die to cut the top part out.  A action wobble piece was attached to make this happen.  Hopefully, you can see it in this picture.

 The sentiment is an old stamp that I keep in my stash.  It is a joke with my granddaughters.  We love to watch The Wizard of Oz, so I tease them with this saying.  Wink of Stella and shiny enamel dots were added to complete my card.

My best friend from college came to spend a few days with me.  We always enjoy shopping and more shopping when we are together.  I made this card for her.  It pretty much sums it up for us!  

I used a square white card base.  I added a polka dot background.  The white square was cut with the SSS square stitched die.  I stamped the  bathing beauties from Art Impressions Selma and Gladys Set in Momento black ink and colored them with Copic Markers.  I stamped the sentiment and fussy cut the speech bubbles.  I made a mask and then added Distress ink for the background.  Sparkling clear sequins were added for fun!

Of Course I LOVE You! --cQc #327

February 4, 2016

I wanted to make a very special Valentine for my hubby.  He puts up with all my crazy ideas and whims.  LOL!  So, when I saw the colors at the Colour Q Challenge I knew just what I wanted to do.  

These are my favorite colors and they worked perfectly for "my" dress.  

I didn't want to make the card girly, so the Kraft paper was the perfect background.  I found this retired DSP from Stampin' Up! in my stash and loved the way it gave movement to my card.  I die cut this DSP using a Simon Says Stamp-Postage Die.  I also cut a Real Red rectangle using the same dies.  Neenah White Solar paper was used with Momento Black ink for my image. The stamp from Art Impressions-Tina Set is colored with a variety of Copic and Stampin' Up! Markers.  I worked the Cherry Cobbler into her balloon, hearts and sponged the main image and sentiment on the edges.   The sentiment was stamped in Momento Black ink and I used a circle punch to cut it out.  It was applied with dimensionals.  The banner die is from SugarPea Designs-Stitched Flags.  I cut around the balloon before I cut the image out with the die.  Lots of Wink of Stella was added for shine!  

I hope my card made you smile today!  Please leave a comment!  I always love to hear from you!

Have a fabulous day!  

HUGS!
