Happy Happy

It is time for another Rubbernecker Stamps Sweet Sunday post for me!  This is the time of the week that my entire team gets together to provide some amazing inspiration for you.


This week I have this adorable lad, Mick, to inspire you.  He was hanging out in my craft room just begging to be colored.  I grabbed my Copics and colored away.  I had these scraps of paper laying around from another project and felt they were the perfect background for this kiddo, so colored him to match.  The sentiment came from the Best Wishes Set.  By using just the "happy" from "happy birthday", I can give this card for any kind of celebration.

Come join us for the Rubbernecker Stamps challenge.  You can win cash to spend in the shop.  You don't even have to use Rubbernecker Stamps to play along.  If you win, you can add some to your stash and use them next time!

Spring Maiden

It is my turn to provide a little inspiration on the MoonFlower blog using this month's new release, Spring Maiden.  I love the cropped image.  So different from other things that Andreia has done.


I chose some soft pastel colors for spring from my Copic markers and started coloring away.  The background is a Silhouette cut file and I thought it would highlight the butterflies in the image.  I kept the embellishments simple so that Spring Maiden could shine.

Clover

Wow!  Friday again already!  I am looking forward to this weekend!  How about you?  It has been a crazy week at work and I am ready for some down time.  It is my day to be featured on the Rubbernecker Stamps blog and I have this sweetie for you!


This is Clover and she was colored with Copic markers.  She will have a matching die to make it super easy to cut her out!  I can't wait to get mine.  Some of the rubber stamps now have matching dies with more to come.  If you want to check them out, just pop on over to the shop.  I used silver Wink of Stella on Clover's boots, purse, and earrings.  I couldn't decide on a sentiment for her, but I want something fabulous to match!

Don't forget about our challenge.  You can win cash to spend in the shop.  With all of the new dies and clear stamps, you won't want to miss out.  You don't have to use Rubbernecker Stamps, but if you have them, we always love to see them.

Teddy Love

Good morning!  Happy Easter if you observe and Happy Sunday if you don't!  It is time for another Sweet Sunday post over on Rubbernecker stamps.  I forgot this weekend was Easter when I was working on my projects, so I do not have an Easter themed card for you.  But I still think this little guy is super cute!


I used Teddy Bear and colored him with Copic markers.  He can be used for so many different kinds of cards!  Thank you, thinking of you, sorry, just because...  He is an awesome addition to my stash.
The sentiment is from the Discover Words set.  They have come in so handy since adding them to my collection!

Don't forget to check out the Rubbernecker challenge.  You have a chance to win a gift certificate for the shop.  You don't have to use Rubbernecker Stamps to play along, but we are always happy to see them if you do.

Colorful World

Welcome back to another Rubbernecker Stamps feature.  It is my day to shine on the blog and I have created a colorful friendship card for you.


The stamp and border are from the Freehand Border Phrase stamp set.  I cut them out and matted them with a die to make them the centerpiece of the card.  Some colorful paper and a background stamped with the Springtime Inchies were all it took to make a sweet friendship card.

Don't forget about our challenge.  You can find the link to the current challenge on the blog.  You have a chance at a gift certificate to spend in the shop so come join us.

Play Ball!

This week at Creative Knockouts our challenge to you is to use buttons on your project.  Buttons are one of my favorite embellishments!  I have so many right now I have to figure out a better way to store them.  So I am happy to use a few on another project.


This cutie is Baseball Scottie and he is from Digital Delights.  He was colored with Copic markers and cut out using the Silhouette Cameo.  I was rummaging through my buttons for a different project and came across these and I knew they were just perfect for this project!

Our sponsor this week is Digital Delights and you have a chance at a prize of a $5 gift certificate to the store.  Just click the badge below to pop over to the shop.

Feeling Shy

Sami has been drawing up a storm for you and it is time to reveal the sweet new release for this month.  Along with the release comes a new challenge and the theme is embossing.  It can be wet or dry embossing for the challenge.


Aren't these giraffes just the cutest?!  I am totally in love with them.  You can find them in the shop.


I used Shy Flowers Giraffe for my project and colored him with Copics.  I used the Silhouette Cameo to cut him out.  I went with dry embossing on my card because I make a terrible mess when I wet emboss!  I have had this piece of paper in my scrap basket forever!  My daughter made something for a friend and I got the left over pieces.  I don't use a lot of animal prints, but this seemed like the perfect time to pull it out.  I still have some pieces left, but they are smaller than before. =P

You have a chance to win some Sami Stamps prizes just for playing along.  Be sure to use a Sami Stamps image on your project or you won't be eligible for a prize.  There is always a freebie or two available in the shop, so be sure to check.

I hope you will join us.

A Sleeping Beauty

This week at the Crafty Gals Corner, the challenge is three or more layers.  I got to use this awesome MoonFlower image for my project.


This is Sleeping Rose Fairytale and she was colored with Copic markers.  I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut her out.  I found these awesome Cuttlebug Embossables on sale and bought several packs.  They are easy to emboss and add such a great shine to a project.  I used a gold Copic Spica pen on her crown and silver Wink of Stella on the trim of her dress.  They add such great shimmer and shine!

MoonFlower is our sole sponsor this week and the prize is a $10 gift certificate for the shop.  If you click the badge below, you can pop over and check out all of the gorgeous digital stamps Andreia has.  I suggest you check out the new Lilly line!  They are so amazing!


I hope you will pile on the layers and come play with us!

Friends

Wow!  Another Rubbernecker Stamps Sweet Sunday post! Time flies! This week I have a sweet little stamp to show you.  This is Reanne & Kit.  I just love her and not because are names are so similar!  She reminds me of when my girls were little and how much they loved our grey kitty.  Unfortunately, the grey kitty did not love them quite as much!


I colored the stamp with Copic markers and used a die to cut it out.  A little embossing for the background to add some interest and texture and the card was finished.  The sentiment is from the Discover Word Set.  I am loving the scripty font of these words!

Have you heard about the challenge at Rubbernecker Stamps?  The current theme is Easter and you have a little over a week to enter.  You have the chance to win a gift certificate from the store.  You don't have to use a Rubbernecker Stamps image to play, but we would sure love to see it if you have one!

Flowers Galore

This month our challenge at Fabrika Fantasy is flowers galore.  We want to see flowers on your project.


I chose to use First Flower for my project this challenge.  I thought it fit the theme perfectly!  You could also use Flower Elf if you wanted to play along!  The image was colored with Copic markers and fussy cut.  I created a little scene using an embossing folder and some landscape dies.

You do not have to use a Fabrika Fantasy image to play along, but if you have one, we would love to see it!  If you do use a Fabrika Fantasy image you will have a chance to win 3 images instead of one!  How awesome is that?!  Pop over to the shop and see if you can find something to play along with.

Hope to see you there!
