Shaking Things Up With My Besties

Hi there! It's my day on the Scrapbook Stamp Society blog.

I made a cute little shaker card with the adorable Trudy from the My Bestie Shop.

I colored little miss Trudy with Copic markers. You can find the color combos I used below.

To make the shaker I used the square in the 13 Shaker Card Templates and Cutting Files file from The Cutting Cafe. I used microbeads to fill the shaker. These beads are the best for shakers, in my opinion, because they don't get stuck easily like sequins.

This shaker was super fun to make and even more fun to play with! There's something relaxing about sitting here making these beads roll back and forth.

New My Besite Images

I am back again today with 2 new My Bestie images!

I love having the opportunity to play with the images before they are released!

The first card is sporting Miss Becky Buttons-Sweet Geek. She is so stinking adorable!

And here we have a card with img998. Such a sweet Easter image.

Both images are colored in Copic markers.

I used flat back pearls from Glitz N Glam Girly Boutique to embellish the butterflies.

The beautiful lace was a gift from my friend Vicki.

The Easter egg card is a shaker. I got the file from The Cutting Cafe. It's called Easter Overlays and Shaker Card Templates and Cutting Files. I filled the shaker with microbeads.

I love these shakers! I can sit and play with them forever!

There's something calming about watching those beads roll back and forth.

I used Yellow Starburst Fancy Garden flowers from the My Bestie Shop, a pretty butterfly from Renea's Bouquets and a dark purple rose which I made to embellish my shaker.

The rose is made with another file from The Cutting Cafe...Paper flower template.

This is one of my favorite files! I use it all the time!

I love that you can make the flowers different sizes.

Don't worry if you don't have a cutting machine.

All the files come in PDF form so you can print them out!

Thank you all for stopping by! Have a toadally fabulous night!

MoonFlower Valntine's Card

Good morning and happy Monday to all of my crafty friends!

Today I am sharing a card I made using a MoonFlower image.

This sweet image is called Valentine Teddy.

I colored her with Copic markers.

After I colored her I was wondering what she would look like with bangs. I was afraid to add them to my original coloring because I wasn't sure I'd like it. So, I took a picture of my colored image, printed it and put bangs on the printed image. It turned out cute so, I added bangs to my coloring.

I am just starting to learn to add little details to the images I work with. It's funny how such a little detail can make an image look so different.

The butterfly and glitter glass is from one of my favorite online shops...Renea's Bouquets. She has a ton of gorgeous embellishments!

Thank you very much for stopping by to check out my MoonFlower Valentine!! Hope you have a fabulous week!

Big Expressions With The Cutting Cafe

Hi everyone! It's inspiration time over at the The Cutting Cafe.

Today we are using Big Expressions.

When I saw this assignment and the word sweet I knew what image I was going to use immediately.

This is Fruitie Patootie img641. I colored her with Copic markers.

You will find the color combos I used below.

The Cutting Cafe's Big Expressions word SWEET goes perfectly with her!

The seam binding is from Gone Artsy. I was so excited to see that it matched my papers perfectly.

The ice cream cone is a button that I bought from my local scrapbook store.

They are from dressitup.com. I love these buttons! Lots of fun choices.

Gigi Little Mermaid From MoonFlower Digis

Hello crafty friends! I am sharing a CUTE little mermaid today.

Her name is Gigi Little Mermaid and she is from MoonFlower Digistamps.

I colored Gigi Little Mermaid with Copic markers. I have to say that I am THRILLED with how her hair turned out. Coloring hair is the hardest part for me.

I am getting a little better thanks to the awesome Kit and Clowder online coloring classes =)

When I went to make the card I could not find one beach themed paper in my stash.

Of course it was late Sunday night and all of the stores were closed.

Instead of putting it off, I decided to look online for digi papers. THANKFULLY, I found some at Computer Scrapbook.com. The best part...it was FREE!! I downloaded Seashore to my computer, printed the paper and was on my way.
