Scent-sational

 Hello fellow hoppers,

I'm so glad you all stopped by!  I got a very special treat this month! I was able to meet AND stamp with the very amazingly talented Melyssa Connolly (Owner and designer for Whimsey Doodles) who has re-kindled my love for copic markers...AWESOME!  I tend to have champaigne taste on a beer can budget...so we shall see how this goes! It was incredibly awesome to play and stamp with Melyssa, Nikki and Joni over at Nikki's house...I have missed stampin' with the girlies!

So join us for an amazing blog hop of the fab new set Melyssa was kind enough to share with us!!!

This set is just too STINKIN' cute!  But seriously, it really is super cute!

Here are just a few of the cards I have made with this set! 

The whole chevron craze is in full swing, so I thought I would use some of this delish paper to match my pretty leaves....Can I just say that it makes a HUGE difference when you have a large number of COPIC markers to color with, I mean HUGE  so if you are just starting out and only have five markers...you need MORE!  I have zero copics, because I sold mine, because I didn't think I knew how to use them...turns out I just need more copics and some practice! (and a great teacher...like Melyssa Connolly!)

 This card is sweet, simple and to the point...sometimes less is more!

I think this might be my most favorite card with this set!  I started off with just the present (going for the CAS card again...and added the "scent'iment" and realized it wouldn't work...nothing to smell and all. So I started to mask, and I stamped and cut out the wrong image...so I had to start again. I was sooo afraid I was going to "jack" the whole thing up when I colored it, but I think it turned out okay! I love this type of card, you know, where the sentiment is revealed when still closed...but it sure is a bear, or should I say skunk to carpture on camera!

Thank you all for stopping by!

I hope you enjoyed the blog hop...now join in the fun and try to win yourself one of these amazingly cute "Scent-sational" stamp sets

Hugs and Happy Stampin'

Taylored Mad...

for plaid that is! I used the fabby Challenge sketch 113 over at Taylored Expressions to make my card today and I used the Mad for plaid challenge that Whimsie Doodles has issued over at Paper Craft Planet! This is also my second entry for thre Your Next Sstamp Challenge 16 to pop it up, cut it out. And last, but certainly now least, Treehouse stamps has a challenge to make a manly card...I think this fits the bill!

This is actually a large card...it measures 5.5 inches square, but I love it and it pretty much rocks! I added crystal effects to the legs and some of the arm rolls to add dimention and the appearance of luxury to the card. The ribbon treatment was for the fringe challenge over at the Spotted Canary Foru,...I simple added adhesive to the back of some chocolate twill tape and the cut small pieces of the same ribbon and adhered them to the long piece...I think it looks pretty cool!

I guess I should of added some sort of something where the gussetted buttons are, but I just realized I didn't just now looking at it...ohh well, such is life! LOL

For the floor I simply sponged it with a brown craft pad and then used a fine line pen and drew the lines with a straight edge. For the wall I sponged with a gable green craft pad and sponge and then added the wallpaper dots...I think it looks pretty cool!

Supplies:

Stamps: Have a Seat by Whimsie Doodles and {Father} by Little Paper Shop

Paper: White and Kraft by PTI, Junebug designer paper by Basic Grey

Ink: Stazon Black, craft Chocolate Chip, craft gable Green

Accessories: twill ribbon, coluzzle circle cutter, micro-fine pen
