TSB Snowman Joy

This week on The Stamping Boutique the challenge is non traditional Christmas colors.

I was a little boring with my non traditional colors. Brown and Blue aren't traditional right?

Sledding Snowman from The Stamping Boutique is colored with Copics. I added Stickles and Glossy Accents. I followed a past Mojo Monday sketch on this one. I needed a little inspiration. My brain hasn't been working all that well lately :)

 

I used a Stampin Up punch to cut the circles.

TSB Monster Box

This week on The Stamping Boutique the challenge is outside of the box. I took it literally while others were more creative with it.

 I made a box using my Cricut Plantin Schoolbook cartridge. Knocked the dust off my machine. I still love this box. So simple to make. I added a bag of candy inside and added some orange twine.

I used this Halloween Monster TSB image and colored it with Copics. I wanted to show the Glossy Accents on the eyeballs with this picture. I added Stickles to the small circles on the image.

SSS230 Cheery Birthday Card

 

This is such a fun sketch this week at The Sweet Stop. 

This is a bright and cheery card. I love these new papers from one of DCWV birthday stacks. This paper is glossy. I have never had a glossy stack before. Pictures never do a card justice. It doesnt look so flat in real life. :)

This image is a Bugaboo image. I colored it with Copics and added Glossy Accents to the balloon, eyes, and candle. The present is a Stampin Up image.

Inside this card is a sentiment I believe is from a Fiskar set. I have had this birthday stamp set for a long time and only have the plastic it is on. I love how the paper looks on the inside.

Now let the sketch inspire you and come play along with us at The Sweet Stop!

SSS229 School Time Card

 

I was a little stumped at first when I looked at this sketch from The Sweet Stop. After a little thought I came up with this bright and cheery card. 

 

I used some scraps of school paper I believe is DCWV. The cute little poem is a Jaded Blossom stamp. I added some faux stitches on the red card stick. I added a couple apple brads. The star is Heidi Swapp that I sprayed with yellow spray also Heidi Swapp. I used a border punch that looks like a notebook edge.

I used a Meljen's Designs digi stamp that I colored with Copics. I added Glossy Accents to the worm that makes him shiny.

Turtle Birthday Card

My favorite colors again :) I hate to have so much of the 12x12 paper wasted so I try hard to make several cards with the sheets of paper. I used a Bugaboo digi stamp. I colored this cute turtle with Copics.

 Bingo time at Bugaboo Xmas in July. I played ribbon, sentiment, and Bugaboo image.

 I love turtles so of course I love this image. I colored it with Copics, added Stickles to the present and hat, then added Glossy Accents to the candy cane. I used my Spellbinder to cut out the circles.
