Time for Fall

This week at Creative Knockouts, our theme is Fall Is In the Air.  

I used Autumn Fall Girl Reading from Star Stampz for my project.  I love fall colors so this was a great chance to use them as I live in the southern part of the US.  We don't really get fall.

Flowers Galore!

This week at Crafty Sentiments Designs we have an anything goes challenge.  I know how you all love anything goes, so I am looking forward to seeing all of the gorgeous projects you link up!

I used Basket of Flowers for my project and colored it with Copic markers.  I fussy cut the stamp by hand so I could use the stitched rectangle die that fit the best.  She is popped up with a bit of fun foam for a little dimension.  The sentiment is a sweet mini clothespin that I found on clearance in Michael's dollar bin.

You have a chance to win Crafty Sentiments prizes this week.  If you use a Crafty Sentiments Designs product, you have the chance to win even more!

I hope you will play with us!

Congratulations!

Welcome back to another Rubbernecker Stamps Sweet Sunday post.  For my inspiration this week, I made another card using Mick.  I got a chance to test the new matching die, so I had to give it a try!  This little guy is so perfect for a range of cards.  You don't need to use him for just a birthday card.  I made a congratulations card with him this week.

I colored Mick with Copic markers and layered a couple of circle dies to give the image a lot of weight on the card.  I kept the embellishments simple so Mick can take center stage. The matching die isn't available in the shop just yet, but should be in the near future.  The sentiment is from the Best Friends Etc set.  This set has a great mix of themes and has quickly become my go to set for sentiments.

If you are up for a challenge and a chance to win a gift certificate for the shop, check out the Rubbernecker Stamps challenge.  It runs bi-weekly and has some fun themes for the challenge.  You still have plenty of time to join in the Summertime challenge that is going on right now.  You can always find the current challenge at the top of the blog.

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!

Floating

Hello everyone!  Welcome back to another challenge at the Crafty Gals Corner.  This week the challenge is to use buttons on your project.

I used this sweet image from All Dressed Up called Hot Air Balloons.  It was colored with Copics and I fussy cut it by hand.  I was digging through my stash of papers for another project and came across a pad that had this paper in it.  I just knew it was the perfect backdrop for this image.  I pulled my colors from the paper.

Sweet Annabelle

We are starting a new challenge over at the Li'l Patch of Crafty Friends.  As always, it is anything goes, so it is so easy to play along.

This challenge I chose Sweet Annabelle from our sponsor Conie Fong.  I also used papers from our second sponsor AMB Illustrations.  These papers come from the Shabby Chic Country paper set.  There are some gorgeous florals as well, but I love polka dots and stripes together.  I pulled my Copic colors for the image from the papers and love the bright springy color combo.

Norm

Hello!  It is time for our Sweet Sunday post at Rubbernecker Stamps.  I have made a card using this little cutie, Norm.  I just love these kid stamps, if you couldn't tell!

Norm was colored using Copic markers.  The sentiment comes from the Best Wishes set.  I cut the words apart so I could stamp them in a line instead of stacked.  The upper background panel was created using the Watercolor Stripes background stamp.

Pop over and check out all of the other projects my teamies created for you today.  Then, while you are there, join us for our challenge.  It is all about the animals this time around!  You could win Rubbernecker cash to use in the store!  Wouldn't that be fun?!

The Sound

Hello!  It is time for a new challenge at the Crafty Sentiments Designs Challenge.  This week the challenge is anything goes and we have a gorgeous new release for you.

This is Josh - The Sound and he will be available in the shop soon!  I colored him with Copic markers and cut him by hand.  He was so much fun to color!  The sentiment was a cut file that is available in the Silhouette Design Store.  Josh has silver Wink of Stella on his headphones and his MP3 player for a little added sparkle.

You have a chance to win some great Crafty Sentiments prizes for playing along.  If you use a Crafty Sentiments image or stamp, you can win even more!

Calla Lillies

Hello!  It is time for our team Sunday post at Rubbernecker Stamps.  I was running short on crafty time this week, so I grabbed this gorgeous Calla Lillies stamp.  I only had to do some shading since they are white anyway!

I thought this stamp would make a gorgeous birthday card.  I sponged some ink on the image before I removed it from the die and did a little piercing too.  It added some interest without detracting from the stamp.  The sentiment was from the Best Wishes set.  The words were stacked, but I cut them apart so I could stamp them individually.

You can see all of the gorgeous projects my teammates came up with by popping over to the blog.  While you are there, give them some love!

While you are visiting the blog, check out the current challenge.  The theme is love and romance and you could win some cash to use in the Rubbernecker Store!  I hope you will decide to play along!

See you next time!

A Sweet Melody

It is my turn to provide some inspiration on the MoonFlower blog.  I chose to do a Christmas project.  I think Heaven's Melody makes a wonderful Christmas image.

I colored Heaven's Melody with Copic markers and used the Silhouette Cameo to cut her out.  She has gold Wink of Stella on her harp, the stars in her hair, and the pin on her robe.  I also edged a white flower with the gold Wink of Stella.  It is so sparkly in real life.

Until next time, MoonFlower Fans!

Thankful

Wow!  It is so hard to believe that it is almost Thanksgiving already!  I just can't believe how time flies.  This week for Sweet Sunday on the Rubbernecker Blog I used a recent release.

This stamp is Cornucopia and is colored with Copic markers.  The sentiment is computer generated.  What a lovely harvest it was!
