Jester Notebook

Today on the Whiff Of Joy blog we are all showing you some form of altered notebook or notepad. Check out the WOJ blog for all the creations in one place. Mine is rather simple and fun. In my altered stash of items there was a few of these small 3x4 notebooks that I bought to alter one day, perfect.

Stamped the King Jester Charlie out onto classic white cardstock using Memento Tuxedo black ink. Colored him with various copic markers. The Nestable shape Die-Light was a fun shape that I cut in half and used for the top and bottom of the image panel. Wrapped some bakers twine around the bottom and added my image panel. The sentiment notes was added to the Speech Bubbles Die-light. A little bit of liquid pearls silver to the top and voila! One of the twins grabbed this up as soon as they had the okay to keep it. hee hee

Fathers Day Fishing

Happy Friday and extra long weekend to you! Hopefully you will be sure to thank a service men for serving our country and be thankful for those who have passed that served to keep us safe.
Today Flourishes is playing around with my favorite masculine set called What a Catch. Oh I do love this set as we have so many fishermen and hunters in our family. Of course my husband is none of these but hey, at least the others are covered. ha!   A fun and different card from me today as well. I created a window to the front of the card and the inside has all the goodies instead of the front.

 I die cut a Spellbinders classic oval out of the front designer paper from Theresa Collins called Memories and the base of my cardstock. Added two tabs with brads using our Perfectly Pierced Hourglass die. Stamped my fathers day sentiment and actually have that popped up over the bottom of the circle. So when the card is standing up it is all 3d looking if you know what I mean.   
On the inside I stamped the fish onto the base layer of classic white cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I also stamped an extra fish out so I could cut him out and pop him up on the inside as well. Colored him with copic collections:

Once colored and added the extra popped up fish, the water needed some sparkle so added some stickles. Voila!   Did I entice you any?

WOJ155 Pirate Birthday

Happy Wednesday! Whiff Of Joy just posted the new challenge #155 and its all about birthdays! Since we have several coming up and just finished with the twins this couldn't of been more perfect. I grabbed the awesome Secret Kit from the Spring and inked up this fun little guy in the set.  

Colored him with variouc copic markers. Decided that this fun Entangled Die-Light would look cool as a frame around this little pirate. Stamped one of the sentiments to look like a flag and added some pearls. Voila! Hope you can play along this week. Have a great day!

FTTC221 Butterflies

This weeks Timeless Tuesday challenge is all about butterflies. Don't forget to check out the Flourishes Blog for the details on the challenge this week and linking your creations. This is fairly easy peasy today. I stamped these butterflies from Fanicful Flourishes using lavendar ink onto Classic White cardstock. Thought a long and lean card would be fun today, so lined them all up in a row.

Layered this panel onto some of our Color Made Easy Crocus cardstock using the darkest color. Then added some of the beautiful white lace trim to the right edge only. Two layers of the other shades of CME Crocus and tied some matching Color Made Easy Crocus lavendar ribbon to the edge.

My sentiment is die cut using our Tailor Made Classic tags die and tied with some jute twine. A few snow white pearls to the butterflies heads and voila! Hope you have a wonderful day.

HMF#145 Flower power

Happy Monday! The new challenge this week for the House Mouse and Friends Blog #145 is Flower or Flour Power. Your host this week is me, Stacy! When I thought up this challenge I thought that I had a different stamp for this using Flour, however I should look closely as it was coffee beans not flour. ACK!!! So I went with Flower for this challenge. ha! Be sure to check out the blog for prizes and sponsors today!

I stamped Poppy Cot onto classic white cardstock using memento tuxedo black ink. Colored with various copics. Layered the mouse panel onto another layer of classic white cut out using a spellbinders die. Added some crochet lace and ribbon underneath and tied a bow using jute twine and a button. Two simple rhinestones to the corner and voila! I adore how this turned out so crisp and clean feeling. Hope you can play along this week! Have a great day.

FS328 Rose is a Rose

This weeks Featured Stamper 328 is Colleen aka smoatsmom. Now talk about getting lost in a beautiful gallery, wow. Colleen's work is wonderful and I have been by her gallery many a times to see her beautiful work. Hard to choose what to case to be honest. I did choose this Out Of The Box Poppy to finally case. Kept the colors, oval frame, pearls and textured background. Changed the stamp, textured panel and added ribbon. Fabulous gallery really hope you can play this week.

I stamped Old Tea Rose onto Classic White cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  

Colored with copic collections:

Die cut the rose with Spellbinders classic ovals. Added some Cheery Lynn flourishes to the side and some Kaiser snow white pearls. My oval panel is up on dimensionals. Under the panel some swiss dots for texture, a scalloped panel with some Color Made Easy Tiger Lily Mango Orange ribbon wrapped around into a ribbon bow. Voila!
