Touch Twin Color Challenge

So recently I have come across this new alcohol based marker that are quite FABULOUS called TOUCH!  They now have a challenge blog and this weeks challenge is a color challenge.

The challenge will run from October 24th - November 12th with a winner being announced on November 13th.

One person will be randomly chosen among entries to win
12 Touch Twin markers!!!

This week I have chosen to enter with one of our fantastic, newly released, stamp sets called Winter Bird Snowman.  You can find him and all of his cute little friends over on Totally Stampalicious!

The colors I used for this are Cherry Cobbler (rose red), Always Artichoke (olive green), Crushed Curry (melon yellow) and I added some brown to my coloring for the snowman's arm and the bottom of the little birds boots.

I embossed the background using my cuttlebug and scallops folder from Sizzix.  The snowflakes were cut out using my cuttlebug and my Northern Frost Decorative Strip from SU.  I layered my image using my Nestabilities and dirtied the edges of my cs using Cherry Cobbler, Always Artichoke and Creamy Caramel ink.

I made my bookmark using a SVG file from SVG Cuts and my Cricut.  This is going in my sons Back to School kit! 

The paper is Basic Black, Crushed Curry, Ruby Red, Silver and Kraft.  I embossed my papers with my SU embossing plates and distressed the edges with Close to Cocoa, Crushed Curry and Tim Holtz black distressing ink.

TS Monday 1+1+1

We have a lot of excitement happening for you this week at Totally Stampalicious!

This Stampalicious Monday we are asking you to make a card with 1 Circle, 1 Square and 1 Rectangle!

We are also on the hunt for some talented individuals (and you know who you are) to join our AWESOME Design Team!!!

On Thursday, August 18, 2011 we are also releasing some FABULOUS new Stamp Sets for you to feast your eyes on!

For full details head on over to the Totally Stampalicious Blog!

Here is my card for this weeks challenge!  This one actually has a very funny story to go along with it!  

I made this card for my mom as she was headed down to Ontario to visit some old friends and family.  One of her friends was taking her to the drive in movie and out to dinner.  Needless to say, he is an absolutely fabulous guy but he can be at times a bit of a snob.  My mom likes to poke fun at him so she figured the sentiment (If its got testicles or tires, it's gonna give you trouble!) would be a great laugh to give him.

During the drive in movie my moms friend (who owns a fancy sports car) killed the battery in his car and nearly flipped his lid!!!  It had surprised her so much that he was in such a huff that when they got back to her hotel she gave him his present along with the card and they parted ways.  The next morning she woke up giggling about the incident and the irony of the sentiment on the card!  Who knew that we were psychic!!! LOL

I used our Stella Tires stamp set, dp from my SU, copics for coloring my image, nesties to cut out shapes, twill from SU and the brad came from my lss.

RELEASE DAY AND BLOG HOP!

Well.....It's about time we had another release!  I am so excited to show you what we have for you this month!

This month we have added a NEW ARTIST to our Totally Stampalicious Family!  You may have seen this image from our sneak peeks but he is just so darn cute!

This little dragon is named Dexter!  He was created by Sylvia Zet of Wee Stamps!  I used copics to color my image and nesties to cut out all of my shapes.  The dp is from my local scrapbook store.  I used pool party and riding hood red card stock and the ribbon was from SU.

This next card I made using our ever so talented artist Jodie Mackrell of Bugaboo Stamps!  I used our Hippie Dottie, colored her with copics, cut out my ovals with nesties and the sentiment with my su punches.  This is a Center Step Card and the cardstock I used is certainly celery, wild wasabi and real red.  The dp is from my local scrapbook store.

This card also doubles as a birthday card for my good buddy Joycelyn aka: StampsN'Coffee!  Without her my love for the craft might never have been born!  

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUDDY!

Today we are introducing to you Poppi Penguin by the talented artist Jodie Mackrell of Bugaboo Stamps!

Poppi is here today to give us all a treat for those HOT summer days!  This little cutie features a purple popsicle (one of my favorite flavors) which I purchased at my local scrapbook store.  I colored him with Copics, used my nesties for the ovals and that fun banner was made with my new su penant banner punch!  The dp also comes from my local scrapbook store (went on a spending spree that day!).

Catch the Bug!

Always a dollar short and a day late!  Well at least I am better late than never!

I made these cards for the Christmas in July Bugaboo challenges and I have just run out of time to get things done!  I kept thinking that once summer came around I would have plenty of time to get everything done and just sit back and relax!  Hahahahaha....I don't know where I ever came up with that fantasy!  Anyways, without further ado here are the two cards I made.

The first card I made using my Scarlette image from Bugaboo digi stamps!  I colored her with copics, cut out ovals with my nesties.  The ribbon, dp and cs are all from su and I embossed the background using my birds and swirls cuttlebug folder.

This next I made using one of the cute little birdies from Bugaboo Digi Stamps.  I colored the image with copics and used my nesties to cut out the circles.  I used my new floral daily motifs nestie as it reminded me of a snowflake.  Cardstock is from su.

Well, thanks for stopping by for a peek!  Remember...Totally Stampalicious will be releasing SIX new sets on Thursday, July 28th!  Can't wait to see you there!

TS Monday Favorites!

This week at Totally Stampalicious we are asking you to make a card or project using your FAVORITE BUGABOO!

I could never pick just ONE favorite Bugaboo because I love them all soooooooo much and for so many different reasons.  For this challenge I decided to make a card using Stella Tires.  The reason I love this Stella character so much is because she is full of spunk, wit, and funny remarks for such an old gal!  Every time I see a card or project made with her it always brings a giggle to my day!

I used basic black, poppy parade, and pumpkin pie cs.  The dp is one of the hostess packs from SU.  As always I colored my image with copics and used my cuttlebug to dry emboss the swiss dots.  The fun stitching under Stella was done with my new Sew Easy tool however I am still not sure how much I like the tool as it does seem to have a few faults.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you will take the time to check out our newest release over at Totally Stampalicious!

Don't forget to drop by Bugaboo Digi Stamps as I am sure Jodie has cooked up some more creations for you to enjoy!

For my next project I used our beautiful VIOLET SCARLETTE!  I decided to try making a recessed window card using the tutorial found on Splitcoaststampers.  I used dp that I recently purchased from my lss, pear pizzaz and perfect plum.  I also purchased the flowers at my lss.

A Little Birdy Told Me...

My son was recently invited to his first birthday party for a little girl in his class.  I made this card using an image from Sugarnellie that I got from my good friend Dawn!  This stamp looks so much like the birthday girl that I knew she would love it!

TS Monday Green, Blue and Brown

Hello Peeps!  It is that time of the week again where we at Totally Stampalicious have another challenge.  If you haven't visited us for awhile it is definetly worth your time to take a look as we have an upcoming blog hop and new release this Thursday!  You can find all of the details on the Totally Stampalicious Blog!  

This week we are asking you to use the colors Green, Blue and Brown on your projects.  I chose our cute little Mr.Fixit Gus stamp set drawn by the wonderful artist Jodie Mackrell of Bugaboo Stamps!  I colored my image with copics, used some SU dp, and used close to cocoa and certainly celery cs.

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to head on over to the Totally Stampalicious Blog for your chance to win great prizes and see some new stamp sets!

Totally Stampalicious Bling!

This week over on the Totally Stampalicious Blog we felt it only appropriate to have you add some bling to your card since we all know that you can never go wrong with bling, especially on this special holiday!  

Now, I don't know about you but I know I was spoiled rotten.  My wonderful husband let me order my Kindle and my children suprised me with chocolate!  Hmmmmmm......chocolate and books!  How could it get any better than this?

This week I used our Stupid Cupid stamp set!  I am sure all of you single ladies out there can relate to this sassy Stella (I know I could when I was single)!  Our artist Jodie Mackrell knows how to tickle my funny bone!

I dug through my stash of paper and pulled out some glittery paper from SU and some glittery paper that my good stampin' buddy Joycelyn bought for me!  I colored Stella with Copics and Stickled her wings and hearts!  I used nestabilities to cut out the circles and the Lacy Circle.  I used my SU punches for the bottom border and to cut out the sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by!  Now don't forget to head on over to our Totally Stampalicious Blog to play along!

I Wanna Be A Princess!

Hello my fellow crazy crafters!  Today I wanted to share with you a card that I made for my friends birthday!  I recently just received my first order from Kraftin Kimmie and I had to put one of the stamps to use!  I absolutely LOVE these princess stamps!  I am sure every little girl has dreamed of being a princess!

For this card I used Cinderella.  I colored her using my Copics and then I used my Glitter Ritz to glam her up!  Look at how fabulously she sparkles.  For those of you who have yet to try Glitter Ritz I highly recommend it.  It is a very fine glitter that once applied does not come off your project and almost has a suede like feel to it.  You can probably pick some up at your local scrapbook store.  The paper is all from Stampin Up and I cut out Cinderella using my curved rectangles nestie.  I added some crochet ribbon and the butterflies are made using my beautiful wings embosslit.  The flower was made using my sizzlet from Stampin Up.  On the inside I stamped the sentiment "It's all about the shoes!" which comes with the Cinderella stamp.

Thanks so much for stopping by for a peek!

Stampalicious Red and Pink!

This weeks challenge over on the Totally Stampalicious Blog is to create a card using the color combo Red and Pink!  These are some of my favorite colors so I had a lot of fun with this challenge!  

I know, I know.... I am a little behind in getting my card ready but honestly I have a great excuse!  Instead of uploading my card yesterday I went hiking with my mom and my friend in the beautiful Maligne Canyon!  Maligne Canyon is located in Jasper, Alberta!  I have gone there plenty of times during the warmer months but I had never thought of a winter hike and let me tell you it is absolutely spectacular!

Check out this picture of us standing in front of the frozen waterfall!  I'm on the left with my fancy pink snowpants, my mom is in the middle and my friend Susie is on the right.

Well, now that you know why I'm late getting my card uploaded!

For the challenge this week I used our Attitude Ruby stamp set for this card!  I colored her with copics, embossed the white background with my Crafts Too Daisy Flourish folder, used nesties for the ovals and a punch from my lss to create the flower border.

Thanks for stopping in and I hope you will take the time to head on over to our Totally Stampalicious Blog to play in some of our challenges!
