PWCO and Paper Sundaes Challenge

For this weeks challenge on PaperWorks Co you need to make a card using a cupcake somewhere. I used this adorable Rachelle Anne Miller stamp made exclusively for PaperWorks Co, called A Surprise Cheer.
This weeks Paper Sundaes challenge is a recipe using 3 designer papers, 2 cardstocks and 1 flower. The sponsor is Simon Says Stamps. I used this adorable Oops Tilda for my card.

Both PaperWorks and Paper Sundaes had a blog hop this weekend, so scroll down to see my posts for each hop and be sure to hop along because there are awesome prizes to be won!!

PWCO NEW RELEASE BLOG HOP!!!!

I am so excited for this newest release from PaperWorks Co!!! I LOVE Rachelle Ann Miller and when I found out that she would be making some exclusive stamps for my FAVORITE store, I just about FLIPPED!!! These stamps are MUST HAVES, I'm sure of it! You can find the all HERE.

I have been taking an online course from My Creative Classroom about Sponged ink backgrounds and when I saw this cutie I figured it would be a perfect stamp to try my new techniques with. To create this background I first coloured the image with my Copics (I just got Copic certified last weekend, yay!), then I coloured over it with a VersaMark pen and sprinkled clear embossing powder over top. I then heat set the embossing powder and let it dry for a couple minutes. I was able to used my sponges and ink over top and the image was not effected.

Materials Used:

Stamp - PWCO Rachelle Anne Miller Gone Fishing

Paper - Rusted Sun "Indian Summer"

Copics - B91, B93, B95, B97, G24, G28, E33, E35, E39, E51, E53, R02, R05, R08, R30, Y04, Y11, Y15, Y17, W1

Ink - Light Blue, Med Blue, Dark Blue, Light Yellow, Med Yellow, Orange

Other Supplies - Ribbon, Flowers, VersaMark Pen, Clear Embossing Powder, Rhinestones

For the next stamp that I got to play with I went with a scrapbook layout. I knew I had this picture of my son and I thought it matched so perfectly with these ADORABLE ducks! I coloured the darlings with Copics and then distressed and inked the edge. I also played with my sewing machine and sewed along the edges. I paired this up with the SUPER CUTE "Little Chick" Designer Paper by Three Bugs in Rug, also available at the most wonderful online store I know, (hint hint, wink wink) and voila! So get those fingers moving on through this awesome blog hop and fil up your cart at PaperWorks before these sweeties sell out!!!

Stamp: PWCO Rachelle Anne Miller Puddles of Fun

Paper: Three Bugs in a Rug "Little Chick" Collection

Sunday Postings

Here's my card for this weeks Sunday Sketch over on PaperWorks Blog. Be sure to play along for a chance to win the April Card kit and to get some puzzle pieces! I used Zach the Football player. All the supplies I used were from a past Paper Card kit. I went crazy with the buttons, but I’m going through a button phase right now, lol.

Materials:

Stamp: PWCO Zach the Football Player

Copics: R37, R35, R32, E11, E00, E000, E31, E29, E25, YG23

Papers and Buttons: Feb Paper Craft Kit

Here's my Paper Jewels posting for today. I love this BoBunny designer paper, I've been using this series a lot lately. Copics used: E53, E59, E49, E25, E17, E13, E11, BG72, BG10, BG0000, R85, R83, R81, R0000, YG99, YG94. I also made this card for the Crafty Critters 5th challenge to make a card using 1 image, 2 ribbons and at least 3 layers.
Here's the card I made for this week's Paper Sundaes card. The sponsor this week is "My Creative Classroom" and I am currently taking their Sponged Ink Backgrounds course and so I thought it would be perfect to make this card using what I learned from the class. The challenge this week is to make a scene with your card.

Had fun this Sat!

Today I got to spend some time in my craft room, yay! The top two are projects I made for the virtual stamp day organized by our Crafty Critter Blog Group and the last card I made for this week's Critter Sketch Challenge.

This layout was made following the sketch from this weeks Scrap and Stamp challenge. The adorable image I used is a digi stamp from Chi Chi Memories I colored with copics (YG99, YG94, Y17, Y15, Y11, E59, E57, E53, E51, BV04, BV02, BV01, BV00)
This card was based on a photo inspiration and we were supposed to use crimping somewhere (I don't have a crimper so I just folded up the patterned paper). We were also not allowed to colour anything on the card. For some reason this ended up being on of those cards that I just couldn't get to look right, so I'm not sure if I like it.
Here's the card I made for the Critter Sketch Challenge. The stamps are from Unity and I embossed the flower in silver.

Another Ippity Card

I made another card with the Ippity "Where you Should Be" stamp set. It's funny how things work, but I bought this set at the same time as a couple others and at the time it was one of those "should I or shouldn't I" purchases. In the end it's the only set of the three that I've played with so far, lol. Anyway, I love it and if you want to get your own, check out JenMarie's Blog and she'll hook you up!

Let's just say I'm beat, lol. This next card is for Paper Works Co. As you know every Sunday they have a sketch challenge on their blog and here's the card I made for this weeks sketch. The adorable Jam Tinheart robot stamp is one of PaperWorks newest releases.


This third card is for the Paper Sundaes challenge sponsored by Stamp and Create, home of the Wags and Whiskers stamps. This challenge was a sketch challenge. I used an adorable Stampavie stamp by Penny Johnson.

Then lastly is the card I made for this months Paper Jewels Blog challenge. The challenge was to sew and use buttons on your creation. The image is Bildmalarna Mimosa Butterfly found at Paper Jewels.
