Sugar ‘n Spice Dolls Howdy

We have a new challenge here at Little Miss Muffet Challenges and this one has an opened theme that lends well to many cards that are created this time of year – whether it’s Halloween, Thanksgiving, Birthdays, Winter or even Summer!!  The challenge theme is “Anything Goes*” but we have a small twist for this round.  If you noticed the asterisks then you’re a lap ahead – the special twist is we want to see products using my favorite stamps! 

ANYTHING GOES
*Using an image from any of these brands as the main focus of your project:

Little Miss Muffet Stamps
Pollycraft
Bugaboo
Make it Crafty
Wee Stamps
Roberto’s Rascals

Of course, it’s easy to see what my favorite stamps are when you look in Little Miss Muffet Stamps – cuz they’re all their!    I also like the fact that it’s any Anything Goes because now I can share one of my saved projects and join in on the fun.

For my project today, I’m sharing a page in my traveling journal.  I used an actual Texas map for the background then added my sentiment and two darling Wranglers to adorn the page.  The images I used are Sugar ‘n Spice Dolls Dill as Jesse James and Sugar ‘n Spice Dolls Sage as Annie Oakley.

Thanks for dropping by and now I’ll sign off with a big 
Howdy from Texas and ya’ll come back now ya hear!

Swings ‘n Slides Books

~ sproatmeyer ~ 5 Comments

Books, books and more books!!  This cute stamp, Swings ‘n Slides Books from Little Miss Muffet Stamps, has the girl and stack of books as two separate stamps which makes this one versatile girl!  I’ve stamped the girl then masked her to stamp the books…  not once, but twice.  So the last two books there on the bottom are the additional books.  Oh yeah!

This image was colored using Copic markers then matted and placed on a 6″x6″ card.  I used burlap looking ribbon for texture and a light bulb metal embellishment for fun.  Sprinkle a few sparkling gems and this card is ready to be sent to an avid reader and fellow book lover.

Cupcake Surprise

Cupcakes!!  Yummy cupcakes and also cupcakes that were yummy to color!  LOL  On this page of my traveling journal I used Cupcake Surprise from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  I wanted something vibrant so instead of doing chocolate icing, I chose to color them in lime green icing… with a cherry on top too!  Yum.  😀

My coloring medium this time was watercolor paints in a tube.  The paint was a little thicker than I would have liked but that was also an advantage too – when I had stamped the cupcakes and cherries, I didn’t bother to mask them and stamped one right on top of the other.  Also I just want to say thank you to Jane for helping me troubleshoot my watercolor problems.  Thank you!

Swings ‘n Slides My Bike

~ sproatmeyer ~ 4 Comments

I finally got around to creating a boy birthday card and this time I’ve used Swings ‘n Slides My Bike from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  I was able to use some scrap papers that I had on the side of my desk plus some red felt for color and texture. 

The dragonflies were added for embellishments and I felt the need to glitter them… but that might have been too much.  Do boys in general like glitter? The sentiment was created with one of those label makers that emboss the letters.  So when it was completed, all I did was taking the backing off to stick it onto the card.  I like how it turned out and Happy Birthday was just the right size!

Fancy Sunbonnet Winter Snowball

~ sproatmeyer ~ 6 Comments

This image should look familiar!  At least you should.  LOL  It’s the same image that I used in my last post but with a minor change – instead of her holding a snowball, this time she’s holding a Christmas bauble.  To do this, all you have to do is draw a square and a curved line to create the hook and top part of the bauble.  Faye had accidentally colored her snowball as such and this was how we fixed it.  LOL  

The image I used was Fancy Sunbonnet Winter Snowball from Little Miss Muffet Stamps which was stamped and colored in my travel journal.  This time I colored the image with Marvy Le Plume markers.  Most of the colors were easy to blend, surprisingly, but the red took some extra ink to blend from the darkest to the lightest.  And as a result, the red bled through the paper and showed up on the other side.  I’ve painted it with Gesso and will try to cover it up with another image so we’ll see how that works out.
