Hey there, I'm back with my last Wonderful Wednesdays project...I've had a blast this month as Stamping Bella's Guest Designer! Love, love, love their fun stamps! I decided to go with a CAS (Clean and Simple) layout featuring the adorable Santa has a Prezzie. Seriously cute, huh?
Santa was stamped with Tuxedo Black onto Neenah Solar white, colored with Copic markers, fussy cut then popped up on foam for a little extra dimension. He was stamped a second time on the background panel so I wouldn't have to try to cut out all those curly cue details. The yummy Lawn Fawn plaid is the perfect paper for Santa (I've never met a plaid I didn't like...ha)!
So, I have some exciting news to share. Hubby and I are buying a new home! It was kind of an unexpected purchase since we weren't house shopping! LOL It's actually at the end of the street that we've lived on for the last 20 years. I'm excited to get a much bigger crafty space! We sign tonight, get the keys tomorrow and I head to Ikea on Friday! Gotta love that, huh? *wink* Since we'll be in limbo for a while, this will be my last post. I'll be sure to pop in and share pictures of my new studio in the making. Did I mention how excited I am??? Whoop whoop! OMGosh...there's so much to do and so many decisions to make!

Hey there, so happy to be back again for this round of Wonderful Wednesdays with Stampingbella. Today I chose this A-Mazing Halloween image...The Wizard, The Witch and the Cauldron Chicks! Those chicks are always getting into trouble...yikes!
They were stamped with Tuxedo Black onto Neenah Solar White then colored with Copic markers. Three weeks in and I think I finally got the hang of those markers again! LOL I kept the card extremely CAS (clean and simple). I figured the background paper was bold, bright and super busy but not busy enough to distract from the image. Anything else would have been overkill. However, I couldn't resist adding Spectrum Noir Clear Overlay to the "spell" and potion for a nice, subtle shine. Love, love love that glitter pen! It's just clear sparkle without gold undertones. It's a must have, for sure! I also used a clear glaze pen for the chick's glasses. It really is the little details that make all the difference!

Hey there sistahs, I'm back as a guest designer for week 2 of Wonderful Wednesdays with Stamping Bella. I'm so glad Em asked me to do this...I'm having so much fun coloring again, and these images...don't even get me started! *swoon*
This cutie-patootie, Tiny Townie Autumn Loves Autumn, was stamped with Tuxedo Black onto Neenah Solar White then colored with Copic markers. She was fussy cut because I thought I was going to do a little sponging behind her...that didn't happen. D'oh! The image was stamped a second time on a My Favorite Things wonky rectangle panel then the background was colored with Copics. She was glued directly over the top. Two Taylored Expressions leaves was all that was needed to complete the card.
Did you know if you saturate the card stock with Copic ink then shape them with your fingers they will dry fairly hard, almost as if they were starched? It's really pretty cool! Glossy Accents were used for water drops on the leaves and Spectrum Noir Clear Overlay adds a nice shimmer on the mushroom cap. Totally in love with that pen...it's clear...no gold undertones. It doesn't distract from the coloring at all!

Hey there, sadly, this will be my last Copic class at Memories of Time in Coos Bay. The store is closing. *sniff* In case anyone is interested, I'm considering having classes in my new crafty space once we move and get settled...we are buying another house and expect (fingers crossed) to close October 26th! I'm trying to be patient, but it's super hard! *wink*
Now onto my project...I wanted to create a Halloween banner using some C.C. Designs images and dies. I love, Love, LOVE how it turned out! Pictures just don't do this one justice! The super cute trick-or-treaters were stamped with Tuxedo Black onto Neenah Solar White, die cut then colored with Copic markers. Oh, how I've missed coloring! CCD's banner dies and jumbo alphabets are absolutely perfect for a project like this! Now that I've got this one done, I want to make more! LOL
This first panel uses an Impression Obsession haunted house border die that I thought would be perfect teamed up with the witch. It was cut twice...first in black glitter card stock then in Neenah. The glitter card stock was getting lost in the starry night sky, so I decided to offset it with white creating a shadow. It worked!
Here's a close up.
The second panel is super simple. Taylored Expressions spiders and spiderweb along with the first letter is really all it needed. I could have colored more of the CCD kids, but I didn't want it to be too busy.
Moving on, I think this is my favorite panel! That little guy belly laughing is seriously the cutest! Keeping with the "shadow effect", I went ahead and cut all of the letters twice as well.
Another close up.
Next up, one more basic panel. Again, another Taylored Expressions spider web. Taylor's ghosts were the perfect size and they look awesome peeking around the last of the letters.
Last up we have our little batty friend. Another Impression Obsession die gives the perfect backdrop to this little one running from the haunted graveyard. OMGosh, too cute!
Last close up.

Hey there, bet you're wondering whatever happened to me, huh? Well, I've been around...just not getting crafty...until yesterday, that is! Em, from Stampingbella, invited me to be a Wonderful Wednesdays guest designer for the month of October. You know what that means, right!?! I'll be around for at least one month before I disappear again! *grin*
Tiny Townie Patricia Loves Pumpkins was stamped with Tuxedo Black onto Neenah Solar White then colored with Copic markers. How cute is she!?! Seriously! The sunflower is an older Susan's Garden die. It's a little big, but I thought it would be perfect to go with the pretty sunflower in her hair. A Clear Overlay pen from Spectrum Noir was used to put a little sparkle in the bees wings and the ruffle on her dress. I'm not going to lie...it was nice blowing the dust off my Copics! I guess that's it for me today...check back next Wednesday to see what I've been up to!
