Hosting PCP...3D68 challenge

Hello ladies and gents! Today I have been asked to host the 3-D challenge on Paper Craft Planet and I am super excited! For today's challenge we will be to make necklaces or other jewelry out of metal washers.

What you'll need:

metal washers (any size)

leather cord

neclace endings

various beads

sand paper or sanding kit (mine is a precision kit from basic Grey)

adhesive, I used mono multi...either the metal or the regular will work

Crystal effects or diamond glaze to cover.

Add your paper, then sand and cover with crystal effects (I usually let mine dry overnight) Then you add the cord or ribbon and pretties...ans that is all!

Here are some links to tutorials:

YouTube Video Tutorial

Here is a picture of my necklace. I got the leather downtown in leather alley, I'm extremely blessed to have such easy access to wonderful quality leather! And the bead was purchased at the same shop along with the leather endings. I love how it turned out!

Here is a pic of me wearing the necklace...I love it! If you would like to purchase one of these just let meknow! Send me an e-mail or leave me a comment!

Thanks for stopping by!

LPSC74...a sketch by Allison

Todays Little Paper Shop Blog sketch is brought to you by Allison Fillo from Stampin' When I Can...it's a nice sketch, I had a little bit of difficulty trying to get it to come together, but in the end I am pretty satisfied with the results.

I used the stamp set {I Heart} I love the little bird houses, they remind me of love birds...I love birds, especially humming birds...anywho I digress. I simply stamped my image directly on a piece of DP as per the sketch and then I colored the pole with a black marker and the roof with a red marker...tahhh dahhh all done! Super simple, super cute!

Here is the sketch for you! I do hope you'll play along with us over at the Little Paper Shop Blog
This weeks prize to one random participant is {Little Friend} digi image.

Supplies:
Stamps: {I heart} By Little Paper Shop
Ink: Stazon Black
Paper: Cameo Coral, barely bananna, June Bug DP by Basic Grey
Accessories: trim, gingham ribbon, rhinestones, markers

Thank you sooo much for stopping by! And I do hope you'll play along with us!

A little Birdie...

Hello hello! By now you have probably seen the amazing sketch for this week...if not please scroll down :)

I love this sketch, I like the two pieces going perpendicular to the main image panel! For my two pieces I have used the faux suade technique (when you rub a bone folder along one side of a piece of paper and the fibers start to separate, when you peel the two layers apart it looks like suade!) on the two blue strips...they look really cool in real life!

So I am seriously in LOVE with this image, it's a RAM image and it's called Birthday Parade The little owls are too stinkin cute I tell ya! I love them!

I colored my image with watercolor pencils and I think my coloring is getting better! ;) At least that's what I like to tell myself (still dreaming of copics...someday!) and cut it out using the nestabilities label 9 set...love this set of dies! To complete the card I thought some blong was in order...yes this was a boy card...and yes I did infact give it to a little boy last night for his 6th birthday...but a little bling never hurt anyone!

Supplies:
Stamps: Birthday Parade from the RAM collection for PWCO.

Ink: Stazon black
Paper: So saffron, vanilla, Prism blue and green. DP is jillibean soup, cream of mushroom

Accessories: watercolor pencils, blender pens, rhinestones, bigshot, nesties labels 9,

dimentionals, bone folder (for faux suade technique)

Thank you sooo much for stopping by!

Hugs and happy Stampin'

Can I just say that I am VERY SAD that this is my last post as a guest designer with Sweet N Sassy Stamps! :( I love the images and all the nice fun people over there! Thank you so much for having me, it has been an honor!

Now onto my card!

I used the stamp set Praying for You, I love the font that this digi set uses! I simply printed the sentiment on a piece of vanilla cardstock and then used my biggest nesties label 9 to cut it out. The designer paper below from the marrakech paper pack by Basic Grey and thebutton is also from Basic Grey. To finish it off I simply added a large prima and some black gingham ribbon...can you say YUMMY!

I love the simplicity of this image and how the sentiment can stand alone without an image.

Supplies:

Stamps: Praying for you digi image by Sweet N Sassy Stamps

Ink: none

Paper: kiwi kiss, vanilla, tangerine tango, marrakech DP by Basic Grey

Accessories: fancy scallop punch, black gingham ribbon, nesties label 9, prima flower, basic grey buttons

I also made this card for the Inspiration 238 challenge on SCS...I was inspired by the bright colors of this little bag here although my card went more green than yellow!

And last but not least I used the sketch challenge 89 over at Eat Sleep Stamp.

Thank you sooo much for stopping by!

Thanks again for having me!

Hugs and happy stampin'

Howdy ho my friends! It's time for another super fun color challenge by Little Paper Shop...I love color challenges! Todays colors (as you might of guessed from my tittle) are Melon Manbo, Bermuda Bay and an optional Summer Sun...I opted to go with a summer sun box of candles :)

This little cake mix was actually a present for my sons 1st grade teacher, as part of her end of the school year gift...her birthday is in August and I though it would be really cute to give her this since we wont be seeing her on her special day!

I love how it turned out! I have seen many packagings like this, but in the end I ended up creating my own with my own measurements. I love the little apron card to match, it has a little pocket for it on the other side of the cake box! I love that it already includes candles and a jar of Hundreads of Thousand (that's how they say Sprinkles in Australia!)

Stamps: Lucy Baking by Little Paper Shop

Ink: Stazon Black

PaperWorks Co. Sketch challenge

Isn't the sketch soooo much fun this week?! I really love it! It's a great way to use up some scraps or have fun with different embossing foldcers! I love this little hippo with her little friend on her back...just too cute! I used some yummy DP, it's called Simple Pleasures from Three Bugs in a Rug and I love it!

For the swirls and the heart I used an adhesive transfer from Doodlebugs called "Stick With it" and I love these transfer sheets...just add glitter! I also used three different embossing folders. I used Bloom Dots, Spots and Dots, and Swiss Dots. The image I used is from the Safari friends collection and it's called Harriet the Hippo. If you haven't already, you need to check out this collection, the animals are adorable!

The rest was easy peasy...simply ink around the edges and water color your image and you are good to go! I do hope you'll play along with the sketch challenmge this week!

Little Paper Shop June pre-view #1

Lucy's back! She's cookin' somehting up for you too! But my project is showing you that this set is extremely versatile...not just for your baking needs! Little Paper Shop is proud to introduce the super cute and adorable {Baking Lucy}! She will be released on Tuesday June 15th, but in the mean time we would love to share some inspiration with you!



We went on a trip to Balos the other day and collected a bunch of sea shells so when I got home I made a little container to hold them...it's really a pasta sauce jar (reduce, reuse, recycle!) added some fabric, ribbon and a tag and voila...finished project!


I paper pieced Lucy's dress and then added a shell to her hand...I used three different sets for this tiny tag! {Baking Lucy}, {Beach Jena} and the {Beauty of Nature}.

Now be sure to stop by the Little Paper Shop blog and see what the rest of the DT members have come up with!

Saturdays with Sweet N Sassy

And he loves you very much! That's what I always think when I start reading the sentiment on this stamp set...but I have small children and we watch Veggie Tales often... Sorry about that, hope I didn't get any songs stuck in anyones heads! LOL

Anywho, I digress, I think these little birds are the sweetest birds alive...errr digi's...you know what I mean! LOL I used my coluzzle to cut the circle around the birds and when I could go no further I used my paper snips...I like the end effects, those birds look too cute! I think they know the sentiment is true, or maybe they have the Veggie Tales theme song stuck in their heads too!

I added a bit of glitter to the leaves after I watercolored them using my watercolor pencils and blender pens and I sponged 2 different colors around the circle, I think it looks pretty neat! Did some paper piercing and added a gem to dot my eye and called it a day! What do you think?

Supplies:

Stamps: One of a kind by SNSS

Ink: craft turquoise, craft green galore

Paper: Kraft, white, Nook and Pantry by Basic Grey

Accessories: twill, staples, watercolor pencils, blender pens, paper piercing tool, sponge, gem, glitter

This card was made for the Isnpiration challenge236 on SCS my inspiration came from these perfume bottles found here!

F4A16 Jelly Filled Doughnut!

Odd title I know! LOL but that is the name of todayc challenge on SCS! F4A15 is mine all mine! So I thought it would be a good idea to make a card like a jelly filled doughnut! what wouls that entail you may ask? Well a Jelly filled doughnut usually has a whole (you know where the jelly is inserted) and all the YUMMY stuff is on the inside...that is what I want your cards to be like today! I want a whole on the base of your card and then put all the pretties on the inside! Fun right! I know I'm super excited myself!

And now for some pics!

For the outside of the card I simply embossed it with a CB embossing folder and then cut out the window and added a rhinestone. Done. Easy peasy!

The inside was super easy too. I simply cut a piece of the marrakech DP to size and added my imade on a dimentional that I had colored with watercolor pencils and blender pens.

To jazz up the inside of the card just a tad I simply cut a strip of vanilla cardstock and punched a nice border(this is my fav right now! LOL) and I then added more DP and some gems...too fun! I think the sentiment on the jar speaks for itself and I really did not feel a need for a sentiment. The {Baked with Love} digi stamp by Sweet N Sassy stamps is awesome! This set is available as a digi or an actual stamp set...too cool!

Supplies:

Stamps: Baked with Love by Sweet N Sassy Stamps

Ink: none

Paper: Vanilla by PTI, Marrakech designer paper by basic Grey

Accessories:fancy scallop punch, rhinestones, watercolor pencils

Thanks for stopping by and I do hope you'll play along with us!

Hugs,

Those are the colors in todays color challenge over at Little Paper Shop. I know you want to play along...one random participant will get a {Mermaid Jenna} Digi image...sooo cute!

So onto my card!

I love love love this little girl! She is soooo cute! I love her little bathingsuit and how she is sitting, you can prop her over a dock or at the beach like I have...endless possibilities! For this card I used some basic Grey DP for the base layer and then I used nesties lable 3 and my coluzzle oval cutter with the out of the box technique. for the coloring i did a whole lot of masking, but the end results were absolutely amazing! (In my opinion anyways!) I then embossed the panel and then punched a heart punch using the same DP. Added some designer paper and that is that! I hope you like it!

Supplies:

Stamps: {Beach Jena} by Little Paper Shop

Ink: Stazon Black

Paper: bermuda bay textured cardstock, barely banana, PTI white, designer red by SU!
