Rubbernecker Stamps Springtime-Fun Release! - Day 2

I've got some more release fun for you today!  Today I'm sharing a card I made using the new Precious Poppies stamp set!

Here's how I was inspired: 

I started by stamping the flowers onto a panel of cardstock and heat embossing in gold.  I stamped a flower, embossed it, and then masked the edge and stamped another one and did this until I had the look I wanted.  I love that all of the images are separate so I can build the bouquet the way I want it!

When I was done stamping, I blended on some orange and yellow Distress Oxide down the center and overlapped the flowers and leaves just a bit.  Then I blended on some Color Fuse Ink in Crimson onto the Poppies.  I added some darker areas using watercolor pencils as well as the flower buds and leaves.

I splattered on some water droplets and then some Heidi Swapp Gold Color Shine.  Then I cut the Wishes word die three times from black cardstock and stacked them and added them to the front of the card.  The Get Well Soon from Kittie Says Phrases #1 was embossed onto black in gold and then cut the sentiment down, layered it onto red and then popped it up and placed it above the Wishes.  A few sequins and done!

That's me for today!  You have until Sunday to hop along over on Instagram for your chance to win one of five $20 gift codes to the shop!  You can start hopping here!

Thanks so much for stopping and hope you'll come again soon!

Rubbernecker Stamps Spring Release and Instagram Hop!

 

So excited because there is an adorable new release over at Rubbernecker Stamps and today we're hopping over on Instagram and showing them off starting at 9am EST!

I'm sharing a card today I made using the new Chicks and Eggs stamp and dies and here's how I was inspired:

I just love these fun chicks!  They're perfect for Easter cards and along with the rest of the spring sets perfect for lots more!

I couldn't help but fill up all of the windows in this cool frame die with all of the adorable chicks!  Along with the flower spray and daisies from the Lambs and Flowers set.  And it's so cool that all of the windows cut out and have stitching so they can be used like I did here and inserted back into a window with a sentiment or on save them to use on other cards!

Be sure to hop on over to Instagram here and start hopping!  Rubbernecker is giving away 5 $20 gift codes to the shop!  5!!!  Head on over to IG for all of the details!

Instagram Hop With Polka Dot Orchard and Angie Blom!

Oh Happy Day!  Today we're hopping over on Instagram with some new release digital stamps from Angie Blom Digital Designs and Polka Dot Orchard!

I have two cards for today's hop... one from each!

First this one was made with Angie Blom's Road Trip Girl set!

I just love these stacked suitcases full of all things travel!  I printed, cut and colored the image and sentiment and then created the soft cloudy background with a stencil and some Distress Oxide Ink.  Then I splattered on a little glittery watercolor and when it was dry popped up all of my pieces!  Easy peasy!

I knew I wanted to make a slimline with this stack of ice cream goodness from Polka Dot Orchard called Birthday Stackup, so I sized my images accordingly, cut and colored it.   I used a stencil to add some "confetti" in some shimmery glitter paste, die cut the sentiment and layered all of my pieces together.  It's been so long since I had one of these ... my favorite would be the one rolled in chocolate chips.  Ever since I made this card I've been craving one!!

That's me for today!  Now, to see what everyone created and for your chances to win some free digis, head on over to my Instagram account @bzscrapper and follow the instructions!  Good luck!

Thanks for stopping and hope you'll come again soon!

Crafty Elves' Countdown to Christmas - July 2019 Edition!

Welcome to this month's Crafty Elves' Countdown to Christmas!  Debra Davison from Meticulosity and I are the Crafty Elves and we've made a pact to create a Christmas card a week so that when December comes, all of the hard work will be done and we can just mail them out!  We share our makes every 25th of the month and this one is special because we are also participating in an Instagram Hop with our Polka Dot Orchard Teamies to show off some awesome Christmas themed digital stamps!

Each month I draw a name from the visitors who commented the prior month and send out some Happy Mail!  Last month's winner will be announced at the end of this post.  And when you are done here be sure to head over to my Instagram Hop post that begins at 10am EST and follow the instructions there for a chance to win some more!

Here's how I was inspired:

This adorable Penguin from the Penguin Love digi set was just begging to have a Santa Hat on and this one from the Magic of Christmas set was perfect!  The awesome thing about digis is you can resize them so it was easy to make it in just the right size.  I pulled up the penguin and made him the size I wanted and then pulled in the hat and sized it so it would fit on his head.  I then separated them to print because I knew I'd be cutting them out.  I used the beautiful Really Rainbow Christmas papers from Lawn Fawn as well as the Mini Snowflakes.  The sentiment is from an adorable Reverse Confetti set, S'more Love and I layered my papers using some dies from Rubbernecker... these and these!

These images and sentiment are also in the Magic of Christmas set.  And since I printed the sentiment on my laser, I was able to foil it with my Minc.  I used the Lawn Fawn snowflakes and Rubbernecker background dies again.  I used this NEW Rubbernecker Stencil on the top layer and that adorable Santa Hat die from Taylored Expressions.

This one might be my fave... but then you know why that is...lol!  The belt and sentiment are in the Magic of Christmas digital set.  The mug die is from Memory Box and I used a stencil from Paper Smooches for the steam along with some texture paste and glitter.

And my fourth card for this month is this one that I shared a few days ago.  I used digital stamps from The Cutting Cafe and you can find more details on this one here if you'd like them!

Now for the winner from last month's commentors:

I Love 'Roo and Kat Scrappiness IG Hop!

Excited to be hopping along with the Kat Scrappiness Design Team today over on Instagram!  We're showing off some awesome Kat Scrappiness Sequins!  I've created a shaker today and used one of the newer Kat Scrappiness Stamp Sets, Hoppy For You!  Here's how I was inspired:

As soon as I saw this set, I knew I needed it!!  That sweet mama and baby 'roo and the so pretty flowers included in the set and adorable sentiments!

I started with the background and stamped the various flowers and leaves in a random pattern in Versamark on a piece of watercolor paper and heat embossed using Wow Opaque Bright White Super Fine Embossing Powder.  Then I used the gorgeous Paul Rubens Glitter Watercolors that Graciellie made me buy to cover the panel with a couple different pinks.  Once it was covered to my liking, I went back in with some colors and a tiny brush to add some more color and make the images pop a little and splattered the whole thing with the pinks and some gold.  While I let that dry, I colored up these two:

SO cute, right... I just love these two!  I colored them with my Copics and added detail with my Prismacolor pencils along with some of the pretty flowers and then cut fussy cut them out.

I cut a heart from some pink glitter paper using the CASual Fridays Heart Board Fri-Dies and created a shaker.  I filled it with the so sweet and so beautiful Hollow Gold Heart Confetti Mix. 

I decided this simple saying from the Hoppy For You set was just right and I love a good punny sentiment!  I also scattered a few of the gold discs from the Chocolate Sprinkles Sequin Mix... 'cause I could!  And sparkly things make me happy.

Thank you so much for visiting me here today!  Now!  Head on over to Instagram and hop along with us for your chance to win one of two prizes!  Good luck!!  I hope you win!
