Summer

Hi everyone, hope you enjoy summer just as I do... as long as it isn't too hot... :o). 'Summer' is the name of this gorgeous portrait stamp with which I made this card below. I am so in love with her. She is big joy to colour. This image is from the fabulous artist Karen Middleton. Did I already said I love her?? :o) Well, she definitely had to have pink and purple hair for the first creation I made with her. And so I made... and I am quite happy how it turned out.

I coloured her with Distress Inks. And the papers I used are from Maja Design. The butterfly die is Tim Holtz.

Have a wonderful day now!

Hugs, Karina

Today I will show you how to make a pretty flower using your pen, scissor and some honeycomb paper.  Are you ready??

Honeycomb Flower Technique

Supplies:
Sweet Pea Stamps "Abbie"

Honeycomb paper

pencil or pen

sharp craft scissors

circle punch

glue stick

Directions:

1)  Draw or stamp desired shape (heart or simple petal shape works well) on some honeycomb paper making sure to place shape along seam line of paper.

2)  Cut shape out and pull to flatten it out.

3)  Punch circle and apply glue on one side to cover completely.

4)  Place edge of honeycomb paper along outer edge of circle, going around and keep going towards inside of circle.

Ideally you will go around circle twice adhering flower edge only.

5)  Finish center as desired and adhere to art.

My sample uses stamp by  Sweet Pea Stamps  ("Abbie"  by Conie Fong), Nestie by SB, papers from Sam's Club, embossing folder by Crafts-Too,

honeycomb paper by Inky Antics, candi by Craftworks.  I used a one inch circle but you may do any size you like.

Below is a closeup of my rather lopsided flower:

I admit to being a little sloppy at making this sample so I hope you have a good imagination!

Wonderful stamps fromTerra Bidlespacher

I have to say, I like all the artists that we have at Sweet Pea stamps, but the more and more stamps that I get from Terra Bidlespacher the more I am enamored with them.  Here's two of my most recent stamps that I just adore!!  Oh.  The first card is done with a shimmery cardstock and a layer of amazing die cut paper.  Then I added a tiny ribbon along the edge of the die cut.    This image is called Bite and is from Plate #210.  Be sure to check out the artist's coloring because I think my coloring makes this image look SO different.  I just love those skull panty hose on her. I would SO wear those and a chocolate cuppie cake with horns and a tail.  I love it.  That's just adorable.  What a cutie!!

I added  great saying "My heart belongs to only you!"  as I am sure you have guessed, that would be a card for my hubby.  If the outfit wouldn't entice him, I would be holding a yummy cupcake.    But, in the end, I am guessing it's the saying that would really get to him.  It might be harder to see in the photo, but I layered the image on a wonderful shimmery glittered paper in red and fussy cutted it out.  You can esp. see that at the base of the say and in between the saying and her hair where there is a gap.  It adds an extra shimmery sparkle on an already metallic cardstock base.

The card below is also using a great Terra Bidlespacher stamp called Tilla.  This image comes from Plate #209.  Again be sure to check out the artist's coloring as I think my version looks very different.  I am using some festive paisley background paper here that shimmers and has glitter from Heidi Grace.  Then I added Heidi Grace fabric stickers and glitter paper.

Here's a good close up of this wonderful image:

Hope I have shown my love of Terra's wonderful stamps.  Drop by the store and check out her amazing stamps and the newest stamps that have recently been added. 

Have a wonderful day. 

Cheers, Holley

Marina

I coloured the image with Copics. The background papers are Bo Bunny 'Barefoot & Bliss. The die IK used is MFT.

I hope you enjoyed looking at my latest creation. Thank you so much for your visit here. Always much apprechiated.

Hugs, Karina

Create a perfectly matched background using Distress Stains, to match grungy coloured image from Sweet Pea Stamps. A beautiful stamped image from Teresa Sherman was the inspiration for this wonderful grungy card. – inspired by the amazing Tim of course.

Tricksters

Oh yes, Halloween is coming!  I am enjoying getting in the Halloween mood with the Halloween images sale from Sweet Pea Stamps

This lovely image is Tricksters by Terra Bedlespacher and can be purchased as a single or part of a fabulous Halloween set of four images on Sheet #155.  I don't believe that, even if mischievous, these darlings could actually hurt any one.  Do you?

Get Inky!
