Paper Pleasing Ideas

Snowboardin' and a SALE!

  Here is a peek at some of the stamps that are going to be released on Monday, over at All That Scraps.  These are from Jen's Stampin Spot Studio, and it is good for the tween age group of boys.

I used my new Lizzie Anne Winter Wonderland Paper Pack.  This is an 8 X 8 pack, which is the perfect size to get 2 cards per sheet!  I matted it on certainly celery that was sponged mellow moss.

I stamped Brandon, colored him with ...  Copics *GASP*.  I know, all air has left the room at the rapid pace of heavy inhaling.  I have been saving for something, not knowing what, and just decided to buy them...hehehe.  I gotta say, though, I really like the shading on my watercoloring better!  Now I just have to practice.  I digress, back to the card.

Then I sponged another piece of celery, and cut some ruby red CS with my Coluzzle.  I used my cutter kit *love that little tool* to rough up the edges, and added the faux stitching.  After gluing it all together, I added the black brads.  Oh, I did use dimensionals for the main image, so pop it off a bit.

Now the sale - All That Scraps is having a Black Friday Sale till 11:59pm tonight!  Make sure you find the deal that is right for you, since she has 7 categories on sale.  Have fun and happy shopping!!

Play With Me Sadie Storage

 

The All That Scraps design team challenge this week, was to make a mini pizza box.  Here is a template for you:

and here is my box.

I decided to make a storage box for the Sadie paper dolls, I made HERE.  I think it turned out pretty cute, and by masking out the balloons on Birthday Sadie,  I made it look like she was waving at you! 

The sentiment was stamped with my JustRite stamper and the Brayton font.

Play With Me, Sadie!

CC Designs (available at All That Scraps) has another new illustrator with a new stamp line - Jen from Stampin' Spot Sudio.  These images will be released on Oct. 7th, with another new designer.  I have a few peeks of that set another day, but here is my neat little idea with the little girl called Sadie.

 

TOO CUTE - is this not the best thing you have seen in a long time!!  When I saw them, I could not stop thinking of the paper dolls a lot of us had as little girls, so I stamped each one and cut them out.

  Before I cut them though, I drew a half circle on the bottom, to create the stand portion.  I made a cut in the center and added another half circle with a slit.  This completed the base, so she could stand.  So many little girls don't play with paper dolls anymore, but I remember many hours playing house, etc. with them. 

  So, I gave them to my niece, Raquelle, and she was sooo excited to have dolls that I made just for her!  Course, now Jayden wants some.  I did stamp them on 140lb watercolor paper, so they would have some strength to them, and sprayed them with a sealer, so they won't wreck if they get wet.  Go check out Jen's Blog, for a giveaway today!
