Dare 2B Artzy Guest Designer - Week #3

Hello & Happy Sunday Crafty Friends!

I'm back as Guest Designer for

Dare 2B Artzy during the month of January!

This is my Last Post (inserting SAD FACE)
 I have totally enjoyed my time here and can't THANK
Everyone at Dare 2B Artzy Enough for having me
be apart of their team this month!!

Now, Let's see what I made this week --

Isn't this just the Cutest??? OMGOSH! I LOVE this

adorable Penguin Fun Stamp Set

I started out by using some 110lb White Cardstock - then I Die cut a piece

of Neenah Silver Metallic Cardstock with a Postage Frame Die

I found some Stitched Slope dies in my stash & die cut them out

to create 3 different layers -- Then I pulled out a Background design 

I made using the Baby Wipe Method -

 Click HERE for the baby Wipe Method PICTORIAL

I adhered the white snow slopes to my Background design

then I used a Rectangle Stitched die to trim it down

the final size was 3 1/4 x 4 1/2

Here's a close-up, so you can see this sweet Penguin riding on his sled

and I think the sentiment says it all! He looks like he's just having a ball!!

I stamped all the images on some KOH-I-NOOR Bristol

Smooth White Watercolor paper - Then colored them

with my Zig Real Brush Pens - I added some Clear

Wink of Stella to the Hat & Scarf 

I adhered the Sled to the slope and then used some

Dimension to POP up my Penguin over the sled --

The Sentiment was made by using 2 circle dies

to help give it that curved look - then I just

fishtailed the ends to give it a banner design --

I popped the sentiment up as well and now

my card is ready to mail off!

Thanks so much for joining me this month!

Have a FABULOUS DAY!!!

Dare 2B Artzy Guest Designer Week #2

Hello & Happy Sunday Crafty Friends!

I'm back as Guest Designer for

Dare 2B Artzy during the month of January!

I'm just so Excited to be their Guest Designer

and I'm totally Lovin this Super CUTE

Cup of Cheer Stamp Set

Check out what I created with it this week --

I started out by stamping the Cup & Topping images on some

Tim Holtz Water Color paper, using my Misti Tool &

some Versafine Onyx Black ink

Then I pulled out My Zig Real Brush Pens to

color up my images - I also Pulled out my

White & Clear Wink of Stella Pens to color the

Topping images - I thought they should sparkle! 

Once I got the mugs colored I thought it was time to 

pick some matching Papers & Dies --

I pulled out some Doodlebug Paper and a piece of Vellum

Then I added a couple of Rectangle Stitched dies & a Doily die

 I decided I wanted to use a stencil & make my own background - 

So I pulled this adhesive back dotted swirl stencil from my stash and 

grabbed some Distress Inks to match up with my mugs --

I did some masking off since I didn't want the colors

all over my white cardstock piece --

Here's a close up so you can see how I mixed the colors

together with the swirls - I tried to use different shades

of purples, blues, & grey... After I was done I

used a stitch die to cut out my cardstock - 

the final size is 3 1/4 x 4 1/2

This is my card completed - I Cut the Vellum with the Doily Die

because I wanted the swirls in the background to stand out --

It adds just enough to also make the mug Pop!

I cut a strip of grey Designer Paper and Stamped the sentiment 

with Versamark ink then Heat Embossed it with some 

Fine White Embossing powder - then I cut the ends

to give it that banner look - I also POPPED up my

Yummy Topping for just a little extra dimension - 

I had SOOOO MUCH Fun Making this card!

I can't wait to mail it off to one of my Crafty Friends!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Designer for Dare 2B Artzy this Month! EEK!

You have no idea how excited I am to be doing this!

Anyway, They have a wonderful Challenge that starts today! 

The theme is Winter Wonderland

 Here's what I created to inspire you to play along!

I just LOVE how this card turned out!

I'm using the Uber Adorable Stamp set from

Dare 2B Artzy called Cup of Cheer

I really like how the sentiment matches up

perfectly with my Card design -- I'm using Doodlebug

Designer Paper -- I've got a couple of

different Stitched heart dies and I used a Stitched

rectangle die to give it a nice border --

I stamped my cup on some Watercolor paper and

colored it with my Zig Real Brush Pens

I added some Ice Cube Jewels from Lucy's cards

and I created the steam by Stamping on

Vellum with versafine Onyx black ink then

heat embossing it with some Fine Black embossing powder -

Then I fussy cut around the steam and attached it with

a quickie glue pen 

This is gonna be a great card to send to one of my crafty friends!
