Monster Balloon Your Day

We’re celebrating at Little Miss Muffet Stamps this month for our 3rd Birthday but today is extra special because we have ten new stamps out to play with!!  They all feature a celebration theme and I’ve chosen to work with Monster Balloon Your Day available in rubber.  I think this is a perfect boy card and I’ve used as many primary colors as possible… reds, blues and yellows; plus a little green and gray to coordinate with the paper I used.

This project uses Monster Balloon Your Day rubber stamp from Little Miss Muffet Stamps plus the Party Banner Metal Die, also from LMMS.  I’ve colored it with Copic markers and used a black fine tipped marker for some doodling on the outside.

Polka Dot Pals Andy

Here’s a simple birthday card that I created using Polka Dot Pals Andy from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  He’s a bit green but I think you’re going to love the inspiration none the less!  LOL  He has probably stayed up all night and day playing his new game – which is something I’ve sort of down lately (the staying up all night and day, not the new game).  I think my kids would be along side of me too (and they’d be playing the new game)!  So if I don’t feel like I’m making any sense lately… we’ll, now you know why.  He he he

This was a fun little guy to color and would be just as much fun to color him a non-green color.  But you see, Jennifer colored a little piggy (she went Hot Wild with Extreme Color Placement!) so I had to respond with something – and she did such an awesome job with hers that I had to take the non-serious route and came up with coloring Kermit!

Polka Dot Pals Ryker

Today is a very special day as we’ve not only combined the Super Saturday post with some awesome Guests, but we have a very special fundraiser going on too!  My daughters, Cassandra and Lydia, are participating in a “Jump Rope for Heart” activity at their school where kids learn jump rope skills and raise money for the American Heart Association

Learning about a healthy heart at school really hit home for her girls, especially when it came with a connection to a few close family members.  For example, their cousin Ryker had open heart surgery when he was only 6-months-old!  He is now a teen and doing great!  He loves many activities including photography and was the inspiration for the new image I has drawn for today… meet Polka Dot Pals Ryker.

 I’ve combined this image with Dandelions from Make it Crafty.  
This image is available in the Little Miss Muffet Stamp store but the best part about him is you can also help Barbara’s daughters in their fundraiser!  How, you might ask?  There are two ways!  First, for every PDP Ryker purchase, LMMS will donate $2.00 to Cassandra and Lydia’s fundraiser!  Secondly, you can also donate directly on the American Heart Association website to their individual fundraiser page by visiting these links:  Casssndra’s Donation Page and Lydia’s Donation Page.

But wait, there’s more!  That’s not the only image you’ll get in the package – there are two other very special images.  Those two were drawn and colored by Cassandra and Lydia themselves!  They’ve entered their artwork into the T-shirt Design Contest for next year’s Jump Rope for Heart.  Maybe they’ll win, maybe they won’t, but the fun was in creating and now you can create with them too!  Both colored and uncolored versions are included.

Thank you for being a part of this fundraiser and we hope you can take action to have a healthy heart even if it isn’t via jump rope.  Spread the word and share your creations online in the current LMMS Challenge and/or in the FaceBook LMMS Group too!

Sugar ‘n Spice Dolls Vanilla

It’s a Super Saturday sale at Little Miss Muffet Stamps where the Design Team gets to choose the sale items!  That’s right – what ever the Design Team has chosen to create with that weekend will be on sale until the following Wednesday.  So if there’s a stamp you want to see on sale and just can’t wait… start dropping hints and we just might be inspired to use it.  😀

The image I used today is Sugar ‘n Spice Dolls Vanilla from Little Miss Muffet Stamps in rubber and it was colored using the Marvy Le Plume alcohol markers.  I used some of my scraps to complete the card plus a few dragonfly chippies from Make it Crafty.  Lastly I added a border using a white gel pen.  I hope you like it and thanks for dropping by today.  😀

Sugar ‘n Spice Dolls Rosemary

There is a new challenge and new releases at Little Miss Muffet Stamps today!  If you like tangles, Polka Dot Pals or Sugar ‘n Spice Dolls then you’ll want to run over there and grab up the newest and latest images!  Today is also the start of a new challenge and the theme is “Fussy Cutting!”  Which means we want to see where you’ve used your scissors and spent some extra time on your project.  LOL

For my project I’ve used Sugar ‘n Spice Dolls Rosemary from Little Miss Muffet Stamps available in rubber!  I also used some new wood elements I received from my Secret Santa this year – thanks Delphine!

Iris May Hatter

Little Miss Muffet Stamps is sponsoring Hiding in My Craft Room challenge blog this week and the theme is all about using your scraps.  Most of my papers are 6×6″ so I don’t have very many scraps but occasionally I come up with a few gems, such as the ones on this card.  I’ve mixed Christmas with shabby chic papers and came up with this – I even used two small black scraps on the sides of the image!

The image I used is Iris May Hatter from Little Miss Muffet Stamps and available in rubber.  She was stamped in black and colored with the Marvy Le Plume alcohol markers.  Then I added a few dragonfly chippies (from Make it Crafty) and covered them with liquid pearls.  Added some ribbon and tadah!
