Stamping Scrapping Challenge Central

January Spotlight Designer

2012-01-25T01:01:00.000-05:00

We have a new feature on Stamping Scrapping Challenge Central and that is a Spotlight Designer. Each month we will showcase their work.

Our designer this month is Aletha J. Williams of AJ’s Designs.

First, a heart-felt thank you for this opportunity to be in the spotlight at StampingScrapping. StampingScrapping is the one place I go to purchase the majority of my crafting supplies. Be it paper, Copics, rubber stamps, storage solutions, StampingScrapping will probably have it. Thank you Cindy and Kevin!

Second a little bit about me. My name is Aletha Jane Williams and I live in Tulsa, OK, or better known as “tornado alley.” I am a self-taught artist and am still in the process of learning. I have been in the graphic arts/print production industry for many years. When I started in the industry we created everything manually, no computers involved.

My 15 year experience in the “crafting/art” world is rubber stamp art, mixed media, and collage. I became disabled in 2009 and cannot work outside the home. Now I can concentrate on my health and art. My creations will always involve rubber or digi stamps. I am an obsessive collector of stamps. I feel like I am collecting little pieces of art that I can turn into my own art.

I live with my husband (he’s a writer/editor and telecommutes), one cat (Lucyfur), and one dog (Watson the Dachshund). We have two grown married children and two grandsons.

Please visit my blog at http://ajsdesigns.blogspot.com to see more of my little pieces of art.

Here is AJ’s second project.

We’ve enjoyed having AJ with us this month and we hope you have to.

Love you...

Hi Everyone....Today's Card is made using Stamping Scrapping's New Stamps Fancy Numbers (Butterfly and the Big Circle around it) , Tab Basics 2 , Bracket Basics 1 and Bracket Basics 2. I stamped them all in Memento Tuxedo Black. The butterfly I used Smooch Illuminate to color it in to give it a shiny sheen to it.

The Tab on the side is from Stamping Scrapping's Terrific Tab Die's. The paper is all (except the white circle) Basic Greys Little Black Dress.

Hope you enjoyed the products I have spotlighted this month!
Don't forget to hurry and enter into the challenge before the end of the month!

Next Month, our super talented Vivi is taking her turn.

Hugs,

Froggy

Sewed around...

2012-01-15T08:08:00.033-05:00

This project is a card I made with Stamping Scrappings new

Stitched with love and sew sayings stamps sets.

I used Stamping Scrappings Sewing Stamps Sew Sayings and Stitched with Love on this card. The paper is Basic Greys Little Black Dress paper, the die shapes for the spool of ribbon and the dress mannequin are Sizzixs Tim Holtz Sewing Room Die cut out in felt. The circle is Spellbinders Standard Circles Large

Bonus Project!

I made this also using the new Sewing Stamps...

This is just the plastic cup that you buy that has cupcake papers in it. I cut out felt the size of the cup them I used my Tim Holtz Ruler and marked the felt every inch and cut a small slit with my scissors to run the lace through on the top of the felt and the bottom.

I used my Spellbinders Standard Circles to do all the circles on the top. The Circles with the xxxxxx on it fit perfectly inside the cup lid so you don't need to glue them on.

Have a great week and don't forget to enter the challenge!

New Beginnings - Newly Married

2011-12-18T07:04:00.002-05:00

Today I am posting a Newlywed Card for the New Beginnings Challenge at SSCC. This card means a lot to me because my brother just recently got engaged and I was thinking of him when I designed this card. I just love the look of this card and hope you will as well!

I cut a black piece of cardstock and then used the Spellbinders Nestability Labels 1 to make the car. I used other punches for the tires, headlights, steering wheel and then cut the image of the "Newlyweds" for the inside of the car. I used the Stamping Scrapping Congratulations Stamp Set for the outside and inside of the card. I used acetate to make the "window" of the car.

Here is the inside left of the card:

Here is the inside right of the card:

I hope this has inspired you to make a "New Beginnings" card for the challenge! Next week I will show you a Happy New Year project!

Hugs, Meg

New Beginnings - Graduation

2011-12-11T00:01:00.001-05:00

It is time for me to post another New Beginnings creation for SSCC. My daughter is graduating from High School this year and will be moving on to college in the Fall. Therefore, I am posting a graduation card as my second New Beginnings card.

These cards are made to look like a graduation cap. There is a space on the back to put a sentiment and signature.

On this card I used the sentiment from Stamping Scrapping Celebrations Stamp Set, Gardenia Flower, and Cosmo Cricket Wanted cardstock.

If you are interested in the tutorial to make this graduation cap card, please go to the Stamping Scrapping Design Team Blog to see the tutorial.

I hope this inspires you to create a "New Beginning" of your own!

Hugs, Meg

New Beginnings - New Baby

2011-12-04T06:33:00.000-05:00

We are starting a new challenge at SSCC - New Beginnings! Since we are quickly coming up to a new year - 2012 - we are working on projects that are all about New! Today I am posting a card for a New Baby! I have used the Stamping Scrapping Stamp Set called New Little One. It is the perfect stamp set to use for anything for a new baby.

The great thing about the Stamping Scrapping Stamp Sets is that most of the coordinate with a Spellbinders Die Set so that you can stamp perfectly on your die cute. I used Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels 10 on this card. I have a friend that is having a baby in the New Year - a little girl. She was the inspiration for this card.

This is a criss cross pocket card. The inside card slips into the pocket and is easily pulled out by the tab attached.

My ingredient list for this card is as follows:

Stamping Scrapping Stamp Set - New Little One
Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels 10
Deja Vu's cardstock and die cuts pad
Core'dinations cardstock
Rhinestones
Inks

Here is a picture of the card that is tucked inside the pocket and a closeup so you can see the beautiful stamps!

I hope this has inspired you to make a creation of your own to enter into the challenge! I look forward to posting a "New" card next week with another "New Beginning" theme!

Happy Sunday! Hugs, Meg

Beginning with this challenge, we will be changing our challenges to monthly. Also, one DT member will be hosting a challenge for the entire month with a new project each week including a tutorial on the second week. We hope you like our new schedule and that you will continue to play along with us.
OK, so let’s get started! I’m Stephanie and I will be with you for the month of November.

Heirloom Ornaments

Best Creation Merry Christmas       SSD Swirly Labels 22 Greetings
SSD Swirly Labels 22 Wishes
Here it is.

I decided to make an easel card for my first project. Along with the Best Creation Merry Christmas, SSD Swirly Labels 22 Greetings and the Spellbinders 2011 Heirloom Ornaments I also used SSD Anglaise Circle Spellbinders compatible Dies, Ranger Stickles, Copics and Halo Tilda from the Sweet Christmas Dreams ‘11 collection.
Here is a close up of Tilda.

For her wings I used the smallest of the Heirloom Ornaments and covered them with Stickles.

On the Anglaise Die I put Stickles around the embossed circle and then the edges. I added some pearls in between the ovals.

The little pointsetta I made by cutting some scraps of green paper and colored some round beads with Copics R29.
I hope you will play along with us this month, just link your creation up at the top of the page. Be sure to check out all of the great items at Stamping Scrapping and be sure to check in on the items I used for today’s project. See you next week!

Halloween Challenge

2011-10-23T00:01:00.002-04:00

I just love this time of the year! The days are much cooler and much shorter. That means Halloween is just right around the corner too!
My project for the Halloween challenge is made using JustRite Stampers-Oval Trick to Treat Centers and Borders and a sentiment from the Halloween Mini set.

I stamped the image on Cryogen card stock with Momento Tuxedo Black ink. I colored the Haunted Mansion with Copic markers and embellished the moon with glitter to make is shimmer. I cut and embossed the focal image with Spellbinders™ Ovals and Big Scalloped Ovals die templates and the sentiment was die cut using the Nested Sentiments matching dies from JustRite Stampers.

I invite you to join us and remember, anything Halloween goes but to qualify for the top three and our winner you must mention the product used that is carried by Stamping Scrapping.com

Trick or Treat....

2011-10-19T08:46:00.032-04:00

Hi Everyone!

Its my turn to post my project again on SSCC and the theme is halloween!

I made the card using bazzill cardstock and my scorpal. I used Basic Greys Eerie paper for the background and for the homemade paper flower. For the image I used Justrite Trick or Treat oval set stamped on Cryogen paper and decided to leave it uncolored to go with the color theme I used. I cut out the image and bottom orange basic grey paper layer under it with Spellbinders reverse wonky squares. I used my Bow Easy to make the bow.

Let me know what you think...do you like to use your images uncolored??

Hi Everyone! It’s Wini from Looney Bug Designs with your inspirational project today. Our Current challenge to make a Halloween project. Don’t forget to enter your project in our Inlinkz.

This is a a bitter-sweet project for me. This will be my last project for Stamping Scrapping. I have elected to step down from the SS design team to allow for more family time. It was a hard decision but one that was best for my family. I will miss designing here but know the new team will do a great job.

For my project, Stroll Gilli is all dressed up as a Ghost for Halloween. I had so much fun coming up with this fun design. I love it when I can incorporate multiple textures into my projects. I love the glittered pumpkins along with the canvas of Gilli’s ghost costume. She even put some great green streaks in her hair!!

Visit my Blog for the list of supplies I used.

Hello there!!

Thanks for stopping by to check out my project for the Stamping Scrapping Challenge Central Halloween post. It is a bittersweet moment, as this is my last project for my term with Stamping Scrapping. While I think I’m going to thoroughly enjoy the free time to be able to play with all my tools and enjoy some other creative endeavors, I’m going to miss the push to keep creating! The 2011-2012 SSCC DT has already been chosen and will be announced soon, if it hasn’t been already.

Now, here is my project! I took an envelope and made it into a gift bag. What a quick, easy & inexpensive way to make a gift bag that can be personalized to meet your needs! :-)

Products used on this project:

6.5 x 9.5 inch envelope
Scor-Pal
Spellbinders Nested Lacey Pennants
Spellbinders Nested Pennants
Spellbinders Grand Labels Four
Spellbinders Grand Calibur
Basic Grey Eerie Paper Collection
Martha Stewart Spider Web corner punch
Ranger Distress Ink – Spiced Marmalade
Buttons
JustRite font

Tim Holtz to the rescue. I have to make 30 Halloween cards this year. If you need to mass produce and you have limited time, this is the stamp set to use. Any of the stamps can be a background and any can be a focal image. Mix and match. I think this will be my go-to Halloween set for a long time to come (and I have two more Tim Holtz Halloween sets I've never used). Can you say, "I may never buy another Halloween set again." I hope you head to stampingscrapping.com and pick up this Halloween set, your Halloween cards will be easy peasy.

Paper: Stash; Stamps: Tim Holtz 'Mini Halloween'; Purple Stickles. For more information, please see my blog: bluebirdflats.blogspot.com.

Hi Everyone!

Today its my turn to show you my projects in red! I am getting into the Christmas spirt so with this challenge I decided to make some Christmas ornaments!

These first 3 tree ornaments I used Spellbinders Tree Dies and Glitter felt. I cut out the glitter felt with the spellbinder dies using my Grand Caliber and then after adding some stars onto the front tree on 2 of them and beads on the last one I sewed them together using a blanket stitch.

For this ornament I made a gingerbread man. I hand cut him out and sewed on his buttons, eyes, mouth and ric rac before adding on his bow.

For this last ornament I used my spellbinders Basic Circles and

cut out the red and white glitter felt using my Grand Caliber. I then cut out the spellbinders tree with green felt and sewed them all together.

Thank you for visiting! I hope you enjoyed my projects.

Don't forget to enter the red contest o win a prize!

Paper piecing red...

2011-10-05T00:01:00.016-04:00

I know, this is a terrible photo. I took it with two different cameras and in several different spots but I couldn't get a good picture of Tilda and of the embellishment, it was one or the other. So, I've had to post two pictures. Even though it doesn't look like it, the sentiment is bright red with black ink on it. I've paper pieced Tilda's dress with a matching paper.

Paper: Making Memories, Stash; Magnolia Tilda Baking Cookies, JustRite Sentiment; Magnolia Crystals; Copics: [skin E000, E01, R20][Hair Y11, Y18, Y13][Cookie Sheet N1, N2, Red Spica][Shoes E31, E33][Background N0, N1, N2,0]; Utee, Ribbon: Stash.

Red Challenge!!

2011-10-03T01:00:00.015-04:00

Hi! I used Tilda in a Hurry for my card today. I colored her with prismacolor pencils and markers. I used the Stamping Scrapping Designs stamp set Labels Accents. I used my Grand Calibur to cut out the Spellbinders Labels 4 die. I added some Distress inks, stickles, ribbon, button, and some stitching to complete it. I hope you link up your red challenge project and play along with us. Thanks for stopping by! : )

A is for Red

2011-10-02T00:01:00.024-04:00

Today is my day to post for the SSCC Red Challenge. This time of year when I think of red, I think of apples. So, I decided to make my card into an apple shape! Using my September House Mouse stamp, I created the card below!

My ingredient list is:

Here is a closeup of the cute little mouse!

The inside of the card uses the sentiment stamp that comes with the House Mouse Stamp Club stamp of the month. This is a great deal to get both the image stamp and the sentiment that goes with it.

Hope you have enjoyed looking at my creation. Hope this inspires you to join in on the challenge!

Hugs, Meg

Hope this inspires you to make a card for the Sketch Challenge! Happy Friday!

Sketch Challenge!

2011-09-21T01:00:00.024-04:00

Hi! I turned the sketch on it's side and this is my take on it. For this card, I used Shopping Tilda and colored her with Prismacolor pencils and markers. I used both the Stamping Scrapping Designs Frou Frou stamp set and their Celebrate stamp set. I used my Grand Calibur to cut out the Spellbinders Circles, Scalloped Circles, Rectangle, and Scalloped Rectangle dies. I used my Cricut for the butterfly, some KC pearls, Distress inks, and some stitching gave it the finishing touches. Hope you link your card up and play along. Thanks for stopping by! : )

2011-09-18T00:01:00.005-04:00

I've spent a lot of years collecting animal stamps and papers. I went through my Africa period several years ago and ended up with more African animal stamps than I really needed but I can't seem to part with any of them. And when Khaki Tilda came along to help me herd the animals, I thought my problems were over. So, I've left the herd to her and I'll be moving on to another obsession soon. This sketch was a little harder for me than the last one I used but I don't know why. I just couldn't 'see' it in my mind. You can enter this challenge by using the link at the top of this post. Please take this journey with us.

Paper: DWCV The Natural Cardstock Stack, DCWV Safari Chic; Stamps: Magnolia Khaki Tilda; Martha Stewart Linked Trim Deep Punch; Marianne Swirl Flower Die, Swirl Die; Studio G Alphabet; Copics: [Skin E000, R20, E11][Hair Y17, Y13, Y11][Shoes E31, E33, E34][Dress E17, E19, E41, E43, E42]Stickles: Gold, Sand, Cinnamon

2011-09-12T14:20:00.000-04:00

Hi Everyone..Its time for a new challenge! Todays challenge is a sketch challenge.

Here is the sketch you need to use:

Here is my card based on the sketch image...

I used Justrite 3 1/4 circle stamper and the Justrite Butterfly Garden Stamp. I used Memento Tuxedo Black ink to stamp it and colored it in with my copic markers. I then used some Illuminate Smooch on the centers of the flowers and dots on the butterfly. The patterned paper is from Basic Greys Sweet Threads Collection.

The Flower I made with Bazzill paper and McGill Paper Punches. The flower is a Peony and I also added some Smooch Illuminate onto the edges of the petals.

Now its your turn... Have fun :)

Recipe Holder

2011-09-03T00:01:00.000-04:00

Today is my day, Stephanie, to post my creation for our Anything Goes challenge.
I chose to make a recipe card holder. Funny thing is I don’t have any recipes to put in it!

Here is a list of materials:

Paper from my stash
Cooking set from Little Yellow Bicycle
Scor-pal
Scor-tape
Accordian Style Purse by Maria Bell
Stamping Scrapping Twine
ASI Kool Tak (awesome, thin velcro!!)

On top of the box I used another piece from the kit. BTW – be sure to check out the deal of the day at Stamping Scrapping. This kit is huge, it has so much variety – Christmas, Halloween, Cooking, ribbons, etc., and the price is awesome!!

Here is what it looks like inside. Plenty of room for lots and lots of recipe cards.

Hope to see your entry in our challenge. Remember, anything goes but to qualify for the top three and our winner you must mention the product used that is carried by Stamping Scrapping. This is easy – peasy as Stamping Scrapping carries thousands of products!

Anything Goes with Jellybeans

2011-09-02T00:01:00.001-04:00

I decided to do something other than a card for the Anything Goes Challenge here at SSCC. I needed to make a gift for a friend of mine, so I thought it would be the perfect time to use this gift as my project. Have you ever had a Starbucks drink? The ones you get in the 4-pack at the grocery store? Well, I like to save those bottles and use them for other projects, which is what I did here.

I filled the container with jelly beans, used the Just Rite stamp My Rainbow, and Core'dinations cardstock. I used chalk on the label so that it looks like a rainbow, but I used pastel colors so it is not evident in the pics.

My ingredient list is:

The top of the jar looks like this:

A close-up of the label is here:

I hope this has inspired you to be creative - because Anything Goes!!!

Anything Goes!

2011-09-01T01:00:00.000-04:00

Hi! For my anything goes card today I used the Celebrate Stamping Scrapping Designs stamp set. I also added Sitting Angel mini Tilda that I colored with prismacolor pencils. I used my Scor-Pal, Spellbinders Label 16, Grand Calibur, Cricut, Fiskars border punch, stickles, Distress inks, and stick on pearls. I hope you link up your anything goes card and make sure to write what Stamping Scrapping product you used on your card. Thanks for stopping by! : )

Got Botox?

2011-08-31T10:46:00.000-04:00

I have to admit, being the younger sister of two older brother's has left me with a slightly twisted sense of humor...and always on the lookout for birthday cards that ...leave the family giggling...hopefully at someone else's expense. :)

The challenge at SSCC this time around is everyone's favorite, Anything Goes. For me, an Anything Goes challenge is always the perfect opportunity to bring out a Maggie and have fun.

For more details on my card, please visit me at TwitterpatedwithPaper.blogspot.com.

Thank you so much for dropping by today and I look forward to seeing your Anything Goes Project!

Supplies Used:

Nurse Tilda

Welcome to the "Anything Goes" Challenge

2011-08-29T00:01:00.064-04:00

This might be the best of all challenges - truly anything goes. I've been anxious to ink this Scarecrow Tilda since the day I purchased her but I couldn't 'see' the card she was going to grace. As soon as I saw this background, the card just appeared to me. It's the first time I've used the Neenah Super Smooth paper with my Copics. I found it easier to blend with than the Beckett Radiance paper I've been using. The image was matted with a glitter paper and inked with Distress Ink. There is Glossy Accents on the bee's wings and stickles on the lace onTilda's sleeves and the centers of the sunflowers. I've used some Magnolia Chandelier Garland next to the sentiment and popped up the bird so it was visible. I love this image and plan to color her again soon. Since this challenge starts today, you have plenty of time to enter. Just mention a product sold by Cindy at StampingScrapping.com and use the link at the top of this post.

Summer Fun!

2011-08-27T01:06:00.001-04:00

Hello everyone! anaRy here bringing you a card about having fun in one of those really hot days! How about a stroll in the mall and an ice cream cone? YAY!

Gilli Stroll (from the brand new collection) is just having some summer fun and fighting the heat. Gilli was colored with copic markers. I used cryogen paper and memento ink. All that blings is stickles. The bag pattern was created using copic multiliners and white pen : ). A little twine to give a little cutsey touch. Gilli base and sentiment were made using Spelbinders nestabilities dhalia.

I hope you are still having some outdoor fun on this very interesting end of summer. Don’t forget to wipe a little project about your hot summer day and join us here!

huggies,

Lazy Mouse

2011-08-24T00:01:00.002-04:00

Today is my day to post a card for the Dog Days of Summer Challenge. I decided to use the House Mouse floating in the water. When I think of Dog Days of Summer, I think of it being so hot that you need a cover over you, water, and a nap!

My ingredient list is as follows:

Here is a close up of the House Mouse stamp.

I hope this has inspired you to think about what the Dog Days of Summer means to you! Looking forward to seeing your creation in the challenge!

It's Hot Hot Hot....

2011-08-23T00:01:00.006-04:00

In Central Illinois, we call July and August the Dog Days of Summer. I'm not sure why but I even hear it on our local news programs. When it is hottest here is when our Zinnias bloom, usually late June, July and August. It seems like the hotter it gets, the better they bloom. We always have a bed of zinnias and I never miss the opportunity to buy zinnia stamps or paper.

Dog Days of Summer

2011-08-21T00:01:00.003-04:00

Here's my take on the Dog Days theme. I made a card featuring the La La Land Crafts stamp set Tuffy.

I stamped the ball, bone and paw print images on kraft card stock to create the background then colored the images with Copic makers. I stamped Tuffy on kraft card stock, colored with Copic markers then die cut and embossed with Spellbinders™ die templates. He's a cutie if I must say so myself.

I hope you will join us in this challenge!

Enjoy!

Dog Days of Summer

2011-08-18T00:01:00.000-04:00

Today is my day to show you my creation for our Dog Days of Summer challenge. I think we all pretty much struggled with what does Dog Days of Summer mean? Well, here is my interpretation.

I chose to use Edwin waiting for fish as my image. To me he is the perfect depiction of Dog Days of Summer.

I used the following materials:

Copics
Scor-pal
Scor-tape
Memento Tuxedo Black
Cryogen White Cardstock
Buttons
Scrappers Floss
Tim Holtz Crackle Paint (love this stuff!)
Paper from my stash (I have too much paper, not sure which collection this came from)

And the open easel card.

Hope that will join us for our challenge and remember, the only requirement, is to mention the item you used that is available at Stamping Scrapping. Easy, peasy!!

Dog Days of Summer.....

2011-08-16T01:00:00.012-04:00

I chose Tilda with kite for my card today. Looks like she's getting in the last bit of summertime fun before school starts. I used my Scor-Pal to start off the base of the card and colored my image with prismacolor pencils. I added some hearts and some stitching and my card was complete. Hope you like up your dog days of summer card and play along with us!

Tilda has a ragtop....

2011-08-14T12:01:00.006-04:00

For those of you unfamiliar with the term 'ragtop', it's American slang for a convertible or a car with no roof on it. Nick Nolte in '48 Hours' was a big ragtop man, always had a convertible. Heading down the highway with the wind blowing in your hair is the only way to travel. It took a long time, but Tilda finally saved up enough to buy one and now it's parked outside under the tree waiting for her to get off work.

My tree was cut out on the Cricut, the leaves were covered with Puffy Paint, dried, and then heated with my heat gun. The leaves have such a wonderful texture. The little cranberry buttons were from my button drawer. I plan to work on coloring the car, I don't think it's my best work but overall, I'm pleased with the way this card turned out. You still have time to enter this challenge: Just remember to include a product from StampingScrapping.com in your post.

Paper: Debbie Mumm, My Mind's Eye; Stamps: Magnolia Tilda's Car, Studio G Alphabet; Cricut Bloom Cartridge; Buttons: Stash; Marvy Uchida Puffy Velvet Olive Green; Copics: BG72. BG75. BG78, C3, C5, N1, N2, N3. For more information, please see my blog: bluebirdflats.blogspot.com.

Let's go to the Beach?

2011-08-13T00:01:00.001-04:00

Hello Friends,

I'm ready and you??? lol lol

I made a card for the summer challenge and this time I picked a Bloomers Gilli from Gilli Stamps:

Isn't she adorable??

I've colored my Bloomers Gilli using my copic markers: B15, B13, B11, R59, YR18, YR15, Yr00. E37, E35, E33, E53, E11, E00 and R20.

I used the mega curved rectangule nestie to place my Gilli and cut it using my Grand Calibur;

Stamping Scrapping has beautiful flowers to decorate you card, this time I used Hydrangeas.

That is all for today Friends... Thank you so much for stopping by!!

Hugs & kisses,

Vivi

Introducing Parisian Gilli!

2011-08-12T08:38:00.000-04:00

Hi Everyone! It’s Wini from LooneyBugDesigns with your Summer inspiration today. I was SO happy when I opened my mail the other day and Anary had sent me a couple stamped images of the New Gilli’s and Oh My – They are so pretty!! These colors just make me think of summer.

I used the new Parisian Gilli and colored her with my Copic markers. The black frame and purple border are both from the Snowflake image on the Elegant Edges Cricut Cartridge. The Flower was made from the Sunflower1 and Sunflower4 images from the Flower Shoppe Cricut Cartridge! So fun and easy to make! The green is actually some ribbon from my stash.

I just love the way Gilli’s Polka Dot shirt ended up. She is just so flirty and fun.

You can find more details on my blog. Don’t forget to enter your Summer project in the Inlinkz above.

Hugs, Wini

It's my turn to post a project for the Summer challenge. I made a card featuring a Magnolia stamp colored with Copic markers and sentiment from Woodware USA.

I stamped Tilda with Ice Cream Cone with Momento-Tuxedo Black ink onto Cryogen White card stock then colored her in with Copic markers. I then die cut the image using my Spellbinders™ Grand Calibur along with Classic Ovals and layered it onto Labels Thirteen die templates.

Good morning! I am posting a Summer Card today for the Challenge. It has been so hot here on the East Coast that the only things living in my yard are weeds. Therefore, I thought this House Mouse stamp was perfect to use on my card!

Here is my ingredient list:

Here is a close up of this adorable image.

Hope this inspires you to get in your craftroom and create! Have a great day!

My Summer Challenge card!

2011-08-05T00:01:00.002-04:00

Hey everyone! This is Leanne and I'm here to share my card with you for the summer challenge! I haven't played with my Woodware set, Fairy Tots in awhile and figured they could use some luvin hee hee! I decided instead of coloring the whole image with my copics I would do some paper piecing! I love to paper piece! It's so relaxing! I love to get all caught up in it and forgot about everything! It's wonderful therapy hee hee! It's also a great way to use up scraps! For my sentiment, I used the Spellbinders Matching Stamp set, Celebrate. This was a easy peasy card but I hope you like it! We would love to have you play along in our Summer Challenge. The rules are simple, just use any item that can be purchased at StampingScrapping.com and link back to the store! Thanks for looking and if you get a chance I'd love for you to pop in over at my blog CreatedbyLeanne! Have a awesome weekend!

Summer Challenge!!

2011-08-04T01:00:00.006-04:00

When I think of summer, I think of flowers and butterflies so for my card I did a vinatage card with my flowers and butterflies. I used my Scor-Pal to start the base of the card and my Just Rite stampers from the Hugs To You set. I used my cricut to cut out the die cut shapes and flowers and a punch for the leaf sprigs. I distressed the paper with the Tim Holtz Paper Distresser and Distress Inks. I added some ribbon, a vintage button, a tag, lace and some stitching to complete the card. Hope you link up your summer card and play along! Thanks for stopping by!

Welcome to SSCC! Summer Fun Challenge!

2011-08-01T01:00:00.000-04:00

Hello everyone! I hope everyone is enjoying this nice warm…aham…weather : ). Summer is always associated with gold old play time…the feel to be free to do whatever your heart’s desire…so that is what we have in mind for this brand new challenge! Bring on a “Summer Fun” project and share with us! Don’t forget to link you project using the Inlinkz tool above.

Look at that NEW GILLI for summer 2011! Yeah Gilli Gilry2 is already playing around…have you seen the others ..oh check it out! Girly 2 and the ball were colored with copic markers. I used white pen to create the stitches on the ball. Girly 2 base was made using Spellbinder nestability plus a little distressing, glitter and pearls (liquid pearls). I also used Martha Stewart punch to create this little girly lace feel to the card. The papers used are from Recollections series. Ribbon and cotton cord from my personal collection, but you can find similar styles over StampingScrapping.com! Gilli was stamped using memento ink on cryogen paper.

So grab a nice cold lemonade and your crafting tools…give us a picture what “Summer Fun” means to you!

I will have more details on this card over my blog!

Stick around for more gorgeous summer inspired projects from the talented SSCC DT members!

See yall!

anaRy

ps: to our our friends in the south hem…summer fun…sounds a nice thing to think during the cold winter, right ; )?

A Touch of Bling!!

2011-07-29T01:00:00.019-04:00

Hi! For my bling card today I used the Tilda with Kite stamp that I colored with prismacolor makers. I started my card base with my Scor-Pal and used my Grand Calibur to cut out my Spellbinders shapes. I added stickles and some stick on gems for my bling, a flower charm, and a little bit of sewing to complete this card. I hope you link up you bling card and play along with us.

2011-07-28T01:38:00.000-04:00

Hello everyone! It's my turn (Leanne) to share with you my card for the bling challenge! I just love my I-Rock! It makes adding bling to things so easy! Here I've used it and the Crystal Gems. For my sentiment, I used the Grand Calibur, labels #9, Dash It All stamp set, and the tag accent stamp. I also misted with Tsukineko Shimmer Spritz (sparkle).

If you would like more details on my card, I'd love for you visit my blog! Thanks for looking and have a great day! Hugs, Leanne

Marci does bling...

2011-07-26T00:01:00.002-04:00

Every once in a while you meet a Chef that has it all, great talent, good looks and fashion sense. That would be LaLaLand's Chef Marci. Her cake sparkles and so does she. Not a lot of bling, but sometimes less is more.

The inside of this card kind of tied in to the patterned paper I used that was all numbers. I have a bunch of these stamps that always remind me of Art Linkletter's "Kids Say the Darndest Things".

Paper: Beckett Radiance, Making Memories Cheeky, Stash; Stamps: LaLa Land Chef Marci, Inkadinkado; Paper Shapers Corner Punch; Jolee's Flat Back Crystals, 3D Crystal Lacquer Peach; Stickles Fruit Punch; Copics: [Skin E000, E00, E11, R20, 0, G05, R43][Clothes N1, N0, N2, C3, 0][Cake E25, YG05, R21, R24][Shoes E41, E43][Hair Y11, Y13, Y19].

Bling, Bling and More Bling

2011-07-25T00:01:00.000-04:00

Today is my day, Stephanie, to post for our bling challenge.

I was trying to figure out what I was going to bling out and then I saw this House Mouse stamp sitting on the shelf. My grandkids just love jelly beans so I always have them. My 21 month old grandson calls them (let me see if I can spell it like it sounds … ) Jay beans.

So, what do you think …. is this considered bling?

Here is a list of ingredients:

Copics
- E27, E25, E23, E21, E00, E000, R12, G07, G05, G02, R27, R24, R22, Y08, Y04, Y00, RV34, RV32, N8, N6, N4, V17, V15, V12, B000, B0000
House Mouse Sweet Sensation stamp
Ranger Stickles
Ribbon from my stash
Cricut and Pooh and Friends Fonts cartridge
Memento Tuxedo Black
Copic X-press paper

Here is a close up of the image and the glittered letters.

There is still time to enter our challenge so please come and play with us. What will you bling? Remember, one rule, use and mention a product carried by Stamping Scrapping.

Marci with Rose

2011-07-23T00:01:00.015-04:00

Hello Friends,

it is time for me, Vivi, to show you a card for the bling challenge. Well, this is a very easy challenge for me because I LOVE bling!!

so this is my card:

This time I used for the first time Marci with Rose from La La Land Crafts that is sold at Stamping Scrapping.

I need to tell you this, I had hard time to pick a color for her dress.. She is gorgeous and any color would go good but I want to have some purple on my project and did not want the dress purple.. so I thought green would combine nice with purple.. and I`m pleased with it...

Oh, I colored the image with copic markers. For the dress and shoes I used YG03, G21 e G20 with V25, V20 and V01, for her hair I used C7, C5, C3 and her skin E11, E00 and R20.

On her shoes I added the Sakura 3D Crystal Lacquer.. also my first time using it and I couldn`t believe the effect!! so nice!!

I added purple stickles from Tim Holtz.. I absolutely love stickles and cant live without it! ahaha

Oh and I added diamond stickles on the gorgeous purple rose. This purple rose is from Stamping Scrapping. Rhinestones are from KC. Now, papers, ribbon, lace, brads are from my stash.

I hope you liked my card and come on over to SSCC to play with us!!

IMPORTANT: Please, read the rules you must follow at SSCC in order to be elegible for the gift certificate and top3, most of the participants have not followed them and have been desqualified. Rules are on the side bar!

So Ladies have fun playing and cant wait to see all the entries!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs & Kisses,

Vivi

Bling challenge

2011-07-22T00:01:00.000-04:00

I have a Bling challenge project to share with you. This is one of the projects that we taught at CHA this week using Cindy's Favorite Elements stamp set.

If you haven't tried her stamps yet, this is a great way to sample some of them plus they match her custom Spellbinders™ die templates too.

I used Momento-Tuxedo Black ink to stamp the images and ink the edges of the papers. I shadow stamped the focal image with Momento-Angel Pink and Rose Bud inks on the Anglaise Lace die. Then added rhinestones as an accent.

Please join us in this fun challenge.

Enjoy!

Janine

Here is a close-up of the Congratulation Tilda stamp:

Here is a look at the inside card:

So my final project has plenty of bling and sparkle. Might be hard to see in these pictures but it is all about the Bling! Hope this has inspired you to get covered in glitter!

Bling it on!

2011-07-19T21:29:00.000-04:00

Hi friends! Time for a new challenge at SSCC....and you guess it. It's Bling! I got a little silly with my bling and added a glitter embossed layer for this adorable La La Land Crafts stamp, Summer Luka. Cindy had tons and tons of La La Land stamps in stock right now too!

Truly Simple

2011-07-17T00:01:00.010-04:00

Today is my day to post for the Simple Challenge. I took this very seriously and made the simplest thing I could think of. With a list of 4 total ingredients, what could be more simple?

I took a cheap wooden frame that I had in my stash and painted it with glossy black paint. I then embellished it with some gorgeous gardenia flowers and Magnolia garland. Here is a list of the ingredients:

Frame
Black, glossy paint
Gardenia Flowers
Magnolia Garland

Here is a closeup of the embellishments:

The only other thing you would need to do is pick the perfect picture to put in the frame. I actually made this frame to put a Prom picture in.

Hope this inspires you to make something simple!

Simple yet Elegant

Great minds think alike! Karen just posted a card using JustRite stampers and here is my take on the simple challenge using the Victorian Frames set.

I stamped the Victorian Frames images with Momento Inks-Grape Jelly and Bamboo Leaves onto Cryogen card stock. I used the matching Nested Frames custom JustRite Stampers dies by Spellbinders to cut and emboss the frames and sentiment. Using my Scor-Pal I created an embossed border on the card front. Super simple and easy!

I hope you will join us in the Simple challenge.

Enjoy!

Janine

Simply easy!!

2011-07-13T01:00:00.032-04:00

Hi! For my simple card I started with making a card base with my Scor-Pal. I then used my Grand Calibur to emboss my cuttlebug folder bloom dots. I also used it to cut out my Spellbinders Parisian Accents die. I then used my JustRite Stampers Cherish the Memories and Victorian Frames sets. I blinged them up with some stickles. I topped it off with some gem brads and stitching and my card was complete. Hope you link up your simple card and play along!! : )

Sweet and Simple Wedding Card

2011-07-12T13:27:00.001-04:00

Hi Everyone!! It’s Wini, from LooneyBugDesigns with your Simple inspiration for today. To me a simple card is one that doesn’t take long to make and is not too fussy. I would love to see your take on a simple project – just enter it in the Inlinkz above for your chance to win a gift certificate to Stamping Scrapping.

For my project I wanted to try some new (for me) techniques. So I broke out my new Perfect Pearls and decided to play. What do think?

I used the Ranger Perfect Medium to ink up my Bride Gilli Stamp and stamped it on some of the gorgeous black Core’dinations Pearls cardstock (love this pearlized cardstock)! After stamping my image I dusted it with the Heirloom Gold Perfect Pearls. I also used a Perfect Medium pen to write the word Love and add the 3 dots (I am not real happy with how the dots turned out though). Some Baby Pink Flower Soft for Gilli’s Flowers and some ribbon attached with Scor-Tape (my favorite adhesive) finishes off my card.

I love the way this shot shows all the iridescence this card has. I would love to know what you think. Don’t forget to add your project to the Inlinkz above for your chance to win!!
