Birthday Mouse

This House Mouse stamp from Stampendous was a fun one to color and can be used for a guy or girl, I just love versital stamps!  The image was watercolored and on the dice I applied Crystal Micro Glitter to the dots on the dice then covered the dice with Glossy Accents.  In person it is shiny and sparkly.

Jumping For Joy

I love this cute little birthday mouse!!  The stamp is called Cupcake Jump from Stampendous and it's so much fun to color.  I stamped it twice, colored the frosting on one, applied Crushed Glass Glitter, cut it out and applied a layer of Glossy Accents.  It was then popped up on the cupcake.

The sentiment is a Digital Down load so it was printed out on white cardstock and cut out using a Spellbinder die.  Before I removed the paper from the die, it was sponged with blue ink.  Circle paper clips were added and it was popped up in the corner.

New Heights Tag Card

Today I am showing a card made with the new Butterfly Charms Set from Stampendous.  I love collage but don't usually do it because I'm a neat, clean inside the box kinda gal...I know, you're probably thinking boring but that is what I love. So I was a little worried when I started this card but I must say the set makes it really easy to use, everything fits together perfectly!!  Here are the easy instructions.
1. Randomly stamp images with Adarondack inks in Latte, Caramel and Oregano on a cream panel.
2.  Emboss the edges with Gold Encrusted Jewels set from Stampendous.
3.  Stamp sentiment from the Soaring Sentiments set on the right side with black Versamark ink. 
4.  Punch out a 1 1/4" square, cut diagonally and use as a guide to cut edges to make a tage.  Layer onto brown paper and cut edges.
5.  Punch a hole at the end, tie with sage ribbon and mount to a caramel card randomly stamped as you did the cream panel.
6.  Stamp butterflies on white cardstock with black Versafine, heat set and watercolor with Staedtler pencils. Cut our, curve wings and glue onto panel.  Add bling to butterflies.

Merry Christmouse!

I have to say I will never get used to making Christmas cards when it is 100 degrees outside but it sure is fun! For this card I used Gifts To Tie from Stampendous, watercolored it and embossed Shabby White Emobossing Enamel at the bottom to look like snow.  The sentiment is from the Holiday Bird set stamped on decorative paper and the background is also decorative.

Now is the time to start your Christmas cards so they will be ready to mail in November.  I like to mail mine early, since I'm making them I would like my friends and family to have them around for more than just a few days.

Be sure to check out Stampendous'  Monthly challenge for August, the  theme is House Mouse and you can see all of the details HERE

Stampendous Is Hopping Today!

 

Hop with Stampendous and Dreamweaver today to see some amazing projects and a chance to win prizes along the way!

 

Time to catch a wave with this card which so easy to make and really doesn't need a tutorial.  I will say the Stampendous Surfin Kido was colored with watercolor pencils and Crystal Lacquer was used on the surfboard.  A Dreamweaver stencil was used for Summer by using stencil paste and sprinkling Orange Micro Glitter over it.

Stampendous + Dreamweaver=Fun!

Stampendous and Dreamweaver are joining together this week to create some amazing things for you!

It's fun in the sun time again with another collaboration between Stampendous and Dreamweaver Stencils! We'll be playing together all of this week, with a fabulous hop on Friday, August 2nd, featuring a slew of amazing talent from both teams, and of course...prizes!!!  So be sure to leave a comment for your chance to win!

I must admit this is the first time I've used a Dreamweaver stencil and was a little worried that I would do it wrong, but they are sooooo easy to use and look how perfectly they paired up with Stampendous stamps and glitter! Here's how my card was made-

1.  Tape the ice cream cone stencil to white paper and stipple the cones with Butterscotch and Caramel Adirondack inks.
2.  Apply Zig 2 Way Glue to the ice creams, remove stencil and sprinkle with Lavender, Green and Ice Blue Micro Glitters, shake off and set aside.
Just a side note, I LOVE Stampendous' Micro Glitters!!! They come in beautiful colors and you can see all of them HERE.
3.  There is a glitter/lace technique I like to use and it can also be used with the stencils.  Rub natural soap on the back of a stencil, place it on sticker paper and sprinkle with Green Micro Glitter, rub in and shake off.  Remove stencil, sprinkle with Lavender Micro Glitter, rub in and shake off. Now you have this beautiful background.
4.  Apply bling and mount to glittered paper.
5.Stamp Birthday Calories on a white tag with Black Versamark, sponge edges with Butterscotch ink, trim to fit card and apply a strip of the glitter paper at the bottom.  Tie with ribbons add bling and mount to card.

Come back Friday for another Stampendous/Dreamweaver card!!!!!

Big Sneak Peek Surprise

Stampendous now has House Mouse!!!!!

I am so excited that Stampendous now has House Mouse, I love these little guys they are ADORABLE!

 

This card is pretty easy to make, so you can pop several out to give to family and friends...and who wouldn't LOVE to receive one of these cuties? Here is how it was made.

1.  Stamp Dino Treats with black Versafine, heat set and color with Staedtler watercolor pencils.

2.  Using a flat soft brush, brush on blue chalk around the images for shading.

3.  Layer onto black paper and tie with black and white checkered ribbon. Mount on an orange card stamped with Haunting Background using orange ink.

4.  To make the leaves, they were punched out of Fran's Sticky Panels then you peel off one side of the carrier and apply your glitter.  You can either glue these down or peel off the second carrier and stick it down, it's that easy!  The glitters used are Lavender and Orange Micro Glitters and Emerald Ultrafine Jeweled Glitter.

 

Stop by each week to see new images from  the July release and get inspiration for your own creations.  To be sure you don't miss any you can subscribe to get notified by e-mail when I post something new and you can also follow me.
