Hello Stampers! The Stamping Boutique DT has some fun gift packaging ideas for you today. I love seeing things wrapped up all nice and pretty. It makes it so much fun to open.

Hello Stampers! I made an ornament for The Stamping Boutique's weekly challenge. The theme is "Christmas Ornaments). I used the cardinal image and colored it in using Copics.

TSB #61 Holiday Cards

Hello Stampers! The Stamping Boutique's challenge today is to make holiday cards. I hope you have yours all done and sent out. I usually get my cards mailed out early but this year, I need to get our family Christmas photos done so it went out a little later than usual. On my card, I used this adorable snowman image called Chubby Snowman.

Hi Stampers!
It's Tuesday and that means another fun challenge at The Stamping Boutique. This week's challenge is all about Fall.

TSB Tuesday

This week's The Stamping Boutique challenge theme is "Thinking of You". I haven't made many Autumn cards and this Sammi Autumn image is so cute that it was a perfect fit.

The Stamping Boutique Tuesday

It's time for The Stamping Boutique's Tuesday challenge. Since Halloween is creeping up on us, this week the challenge is all about Halloween with a splash of pink. I've never used pink in my Halloween cards before so this was a bit out of the norm for me, but I love it!

TSB Tuesday Challenge #54

Happy Tuesday! It's time for The Stamping Boutique's Tuesday challenge. This week we are continuing with the pink theme for Breast Cancer Awareness. The challenge is: Black & White with a Splash of Pink.

Thinking of You

Hello Stampers! 

Today The Stamping Boutique's challenge is all about "Pink Ribbons" to continue with the Breast Cancer Awareness theme. I am using the Tulips image. I colored the image in using Copic markers. I added the organza pink ribbon and accented it with a rhinestone. The pink strips of cardstocks were ran through the Cuttlebug using the Swirls embossing folder. The rose is made using MFT's die-namics rolled rose then accented with a smaller rhinestone for the center.

Just a Note

Hope you're all having a wonderful weekend. My girls and I went fabric shopping for their Halloween costumes today. Since it's World Cardmaking Day today, I just had to sneak in a card. This image is from The Stamping Boutique called Hidden Fairy. I die cut the oval image twice and cut off the scallops so the patterned paper would fit the center. I then embossed it with the Script embossing folder. I also embossed the chevron patterned paper using the Swiss Dots embossing folder. I did alot of ink distressing on the edges of the papers by taking my white and light brown ink pad and swiped it along the edges. I recently received some seam binding and am loving adding them to my cards. I used it to add a bow to my card and topped the center with a small pearl. 

This is a close-up of my card. Hopefully you can see the embossing on the oval shape and chevron paper.

Thinking of You

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month so it's fitting to make a pink themed card. I used The Stamping Boutique's fairy Cynthia digi stamp. I colored her in using Copics, added some glitter to her wings and sponged the cardstock with pink. I added some zigzag stitches to the green cardstock to give it some texture. The flower is made using MFT's rolled rose die-namics. I used chipboard to cut out the tag, then added the pink patterned paper and stamped the sentiment on top. I finished the tag off with a bow.

TSB Tuesday

It's time for The Stamping Boutique's Tuesday challenge. This week's challenge is "Embossing". I chose to do dry embossing. I love this cute Princess Latte witch image, it's got just the right amount of whimsical for me. I used the Swirls embossing folder by Provo Craft on the black cardstock, added some corner punches, ribbon and a button.

Hi!

This week the Stamping Boutique's challenge is all about "Back to School". I am using this adorable Back to School AJ image that you can purchase at the TSB. I colored him in using Copics, added some stitching on the yellow cardstock and some buttons. Since it's Sept. and back to school month, I found some alphabet papers in my stash and used that for the background.

The Stamping Boutique Remembering 9/11

Today The Stamping Boutique's challenge is "Remembering 9/11". I can't believe it's been 11 years since this tragedy happened. We must never forget. 

I used TSB's Audrey Patriotic stamps on my card. I colored her in using Copics and added zigzag stitches around the circle and added a button onto the star that I cut out.

Get Well

Hello Stampers! Hope you all had a great weekend. We spent some time with friends and doing a photo shoot. Everything is always fun with friends around. 

Onto my card. I used The Stamping Boutique's Audrey the Nurse digi stamp in honor of Labor Day. I colored Audrey in using Copic markers and added stitchings along the edges of various cardstocks. I pulled some buttons I had laying around and added some rhinestones to the center. I continued with the heart theme by running the red strip of cardstock through my Cuttlebug using the small hearts embossing folder.

Puppy Surprise

Hope you're all having a wonderful day. Today The Stamping Boutique is having another birthday challenge to celebrate their 3rd birthday.

The Stamping Boutique Challenge #46

This is my second post for the day. Please scroll down for my first post.

I made this birthday card using The Stamping Boutique's Happy Birthday Car digi stamp. This is such a fun image to color. I love the cute little flowers all over the car. It's pretty groovy. I colored in the car using Copic markers and cut out the shape with a Nestabilities die. I added straight stitches on the patterned papers and used My Favorite Things doily die to add the birthday sentiment. I then tied the ribbon onto the card front and added the blue brads to finish off my card.
