Sonny Honeycloud Mistletoe

Today is Super Saturday at Little Miss Muffet Stamps where we feature a rubber stamp that will be on sale for the week plus the freebie image for the day!  This is a limited time special and today I wanted to create something with the rubber stamp: Sonny Honeycloud Mistletoe!  She’s a popular one and you’ll want to make sure to visit the LMMS Blog for the other fabulous DT creations!

I went with some simple and used one layer of cardstock, Crygon sparkling white, and stamped my image directly on the page.  (The little ticket is a stamp from Stampin’ Up!) Then I used some ribbon, a ticket and staples for embellishments.  There is a little doodling on the card too for the border and wind, as you can plainly see.  He he he

I went with a non-traditional color pallet and chose green, brown/tan and yellow/gold for this one.  The green is just enough to say Christmas but the yellow and brown off set it enough to be different.  Don’t miss out on this one and jump into the LMMS Store to scoop her up while she’s on discount!!

Craftitutde Challenge #5 – S for Stamps

Cocoa

Sometime I just get lucky and today is one of them… there is a new challenge at Little Miss Muffet Stamps opening up today and the theme is “It’s a Doodle!”  I thought I was doomed and didn’t have a card ready.  😦  I had been working in the background on some new images and completely forgot about it, to be honest.  So I was just about to hang up my hat… er, put my Copics away, when I found this card already finished.  AND it has doodling on it!  How awesome is that?!

You may not recognize this image right away but it’s a Sugar & Spice Dolls named Cocoa from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  When I inked her, I cleaned off the rubber stamp on her arm and her foot.  Then when I was coloring, I added “stuffing” that was coming out.  Also this is one of the images I colored using only 4 Copic colors!!  That’s right… only 4!  I used  N6, G46, V17 and YG21.  (Plus the blender marker but I wasn’t counting that.  LOL)  You should give it a try.  ;D

My doodling in around the edges of the image as well as doodling on the image itself – I added extra stitching, tears in the clothing, and thread where there are holes in the doll.  See, there’s lots you can do with a doodling challenge!!

Fancy Sunbonnet Winter

It’s October and starting to get chilly already… but I’m cranking away (I hope) on my goals for the end of the year.  These are goals I’ve set for myself and so the end date is flexible, but having it so close is also getting me motivated.  😀  I’ll share “my numbers” as of now but first…. who’s up for some ice skating?

Here’s a couple links that I’ll share, the first one being the image I used on this project which you can find in the Little Miss Muffet Stamps store.  And the second link is to the LMMS blog and LMMS gallery where you’ll find lots of other inspiration using these images!

As for writing this post, my goals on the upper left side of the blog are pretty small.  LMMS is 16 out of 44; MiC is 7 out of 150; SBS is 1 out of 13; and the overall C2C is 12 out of 252.  Now you can compare those number with the current numbers and let me know if I’ve progressed any – because sometimes I like to ignore them!  LOL

Graffiti MiC

We’re having a fab time with all the urban style image released between Make it Crafty and Little Miss Muffet Stamps and today we’re updating ya’ll with even more fab inspiration!  Plus Little Miss Muffet Stamps has released ten more images to the collection that you’ll want, fo’sure!

For my card I’ve used the Graffiti MiC from Little Miss Muffet Stamps then combined it with Urban Nico and the Urban Elements from Make it Crafty to create this scene.  I went with a monochromatic theme again ad a little splash of colors – but I’ve honestly colored several full colored images in between – it’s just that this is all you’re “seeing” here on the blog lately.  LOL  But I love the look and it draw attention to both areas equally, I think.

One thing I tried to do with this is create a hole in the wall and use the wood fence element to make it look like it was boarded up.  Then I could color the circles on the end of the board slats as nails but I’m not sure that they look any more like nails that before!  LOL  Next time, I’ll have to go heavy on the highlights and really give them a shine.

Skeletinz Love

Little Miss Muffet Stamps has a rubber stamps release and just in time for the Autumn season too!  We have more images from Bugaboo in rubber and most of these will be even be fun throughout the year.  😀  First, I’m thrilled to say Fancy Sunbonnet Witch and Fancy Sunbonnet Halloween have joined the group!  And I also want to introduce the funky new Skelekinz – they have an unresistant whimsical nature.  he he he

To share my excitement, I’ve decided to start off with a big SALE!  Each of these new rubber stamps are on sale – just drop them into your basket this week and enjoy 25% OFF!  But hurry, I’ve added an additional 10% discount when you use the coupon code – check out the LMMS Blog for all the details.

For this project I’ve used Skeletinz Love which was drawn by Bugaboo and available in rubber at Little Miss Muffet Stamps!  I hate to share this but this cute little “monster” reminds me of when my daughter wakes up in the middle of the night because she had a bad dream… she’s so stealthy and quiet that usually the first time I notice her is when she’s standing next to my bed, doll or blanket in hand, ready for a hug.  🙂

I’ve gone with some crazy colors but the green is one that I really like – it’s YG91, G43, G40 and YG231.  Then for the eyes I added a little YG93 and YG95 to get them darker.  It’s was one of those mistakes that turns out well and I’m going to have to use it again.  LOL

Rachel Rabbit

It seems that my life can be motivated by collections and goals.  I have to have a “complete” collection even though it might not be everything, there is usually a certain limit in my mind that I have to get to before my collection is considered complete.  I’m love rubber stamps – and, I don’t think I’ve reached my “limit” yet!  LOL  The other motivation is goal driven – and this card is not an exception!  I will, eventually, create something with every image that I have.  I probably need to insert an evil laugh about now, but I’m sure it’s possible.  He he he 

Here’s a couple links that I’ll share, the first one being the image I used on this project which you can find in the Little Miss Muffet Stamps store.  And the second link is to the LMMS blog and LMMS gallery where you’ll find lots of other inspiration using these images!

Here’s a close up of the image and you’ll also see Quella the Quail on there!  I thought she’d be a fun friend for Rachel.  🙂  I also enjoyed blending the blues and browns to give her a more realistic color scheme.

Thanks for coming by today and I hope you’re week has started off with a bang!  A good bang!
