New A Muse stamps- Brides and Blooms

This is Modern Poppy. It is such a pretty stamp that it didn't need much.



I stamped this on an A Muse base. I stamped it a second time on some white cardstock. I cut out the blossoms after coloring them with my copics. I stuck them to the card over the first stamped image with glue dots so I had a little dimension but not as much as if I'd used pop dots.

If you happen to be in the Seattle area, go check these out. There are several flowers that are 'must haves' for me. :D

I was lucky enough to see these before some of my other A Muse sisters so I think a little RAK is in order. Post a comment here and the winner will get this card and some other stamped images. :) The contest will close Saturday at 7:00 pm pst.

TCPTUES50

Wow! 50 TCP tuesdays! Can you believe it?!

This week's challenge was to create a St. Patrick's day card. I don't send cards out for St. Patrick's day so I don't have any stamps that would work. Hmmm... got to get creative.



I had this fun background stamp and this sentiment. I stamped the background stamp onto Sweet Leaf (CTMH) with Topiary (CTMH) ink. Then I cut out four hearts. *Actually, I cut out five. The fourth one ran away and I can't find it so I had to stamp and cut another. I hate that...

I sanded the edges and the center to make the vein in the leaf pop.

I stamped the sentiment in Topiary but it needed to say lucky. I got out my Dyno label maker and quickly punched (is that the right description???) out Lucky. I sanded it to make it pop and attached it a white embellishment.

Still, it needed something. So I traced some of the images on the leaves with my Sakura stardust pen. I also traced over the letters in lucky.

Perfect! :)

I *heart* Peeps

I have two favorite Easter candies- Cadbury mini eggs and Peeps. I freeze the mini eggs and let the Peeps get stale. It may sound weird but there is nothing yummier. :)



This is my ode to Peeps. :) Nibble off those sugary ears first. Bite off the head with in one bite. Then gobble up the rest. :) YUM
My Peeps are covered in micro beads so they look like that yummy colored sugar. The Peep is one of the new spring stamps from A Muse. [got candy?] is also from A Muse but it is an older stamp. I like the sentiment because it works for this and for Halloween. :)

I saw this color combo in the spring Close to My Heart catalog and loved it. I think it is really different but fun. The colors are cocoa, tulip, creme brulee and vanilla cream.

TCP tuesday- Hello

I often play along with TCP tuesday but usually space entering my cards. I am making it a goal to get the entered.

This week we needed to use baby blue, baby pink and light yellow. An optional color was brown. I was looking through my paper and came across Stella Ruby. Can you believe I haven't used this yet??? I loved this paper when it first came out because of the pattern designs on the paper. I love the colors too. I think it was a sad case of hording...

Anyway, here's my entry. Maybe it is a little dark but the colors are there. I love the table from Cat's Pajamas. I have several stamps that work with it to mask onto the table like a lava lamp, this phone and a few other fun things.



This was last weeks entry. I made it but didn't post. It was inspired by a bedroom linen set from Pottery Barn. These sheep are fun. I love to paper piece them with crazy colors to match the sentiment. :)

Green Grass monsters

Forever ago I told you that I wold post some cards using my Green Grass stamps. Well, I finally found the stupid camera cord so I can keep my word. *rolling eyes*



This is from a monster set. It was the first set I purchased from them and my favorite.
The outside of these cards (from A Muse) are colored. So I turned them inside out. I stamped on the white and cut around the empty part behind the monsters. I colored the yellow monster with my copics and the green monster with my Koh-I-Noor pencils. The sentiment for the yellow monster is from Starving Artistamps and the other one is Green Grass stamps. Very simple but VERY fun cards to make!

New Ketto stamps

I'll be honest, I used to be really into Stamping Bellas. They are cute, sassy and there is a huge variety of Bellas available.

However, the shipping takes forever and the prices are quite high for unmounted rubber (and you only get the rubber, no ezmount).

Because of that, I haven't ordered in awhile. I still love the images but haven't ordered.

But Emily released a new line today called Ketto and I LOVE THEM! They are really darling and just my style. I am definitely going to get me some Ketto! :)

You can see them at http://www.stampingbella.com/index.php?cPath=185
