A bright rainbow birthday!

posted by: Angel R.

Better than a Rainbow Brite birthday (geesh, am I dating myself with that one? hehe!)! HA! For this card, I wanted to use the newly released "believe", "live" and "love" stamps with my kaleidoscope ink pads. All of the images are cut out and put up on dimensionals. I also used the square dotted border (F322) on the turquoise square layers. I also kept the circle theme and used the dotted easy backgrounder (H628) on the upper part of the card base. Some ribbon and a double row of piercing on the bottom finish it off! Don't forget about the current DRS blog challenge to use your ribbon slides!!! C'mon and play along ~ there's BLOG CANDY!!!!!!!! *wink*

Yet another Christmas card!

posted by: Angel

My apologies ~ I had this all ready to post, but blogger didn't accept it for some reason and I didn't know it until I just got back from work! Ack!! Anywho...

I love this candle and holly image! Everything was colored w/ markers, except for a little watercoloring on the candle. I added stickles to the flames and crystal effects to the berries. And of course, I had to add some *bling* above the sentiment! Check out our current blog challenge below ~ it's all about the *bling*!!!! Be safe in your holiday travels and thanks for stopping by! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!

Embossed ribbon slide

posted by: Angel

Hi!!! Here's a card I made using one of DRS Designs cool *new* ribbon slides! Yep, other than the sentiment, the only stamp I used was the button ribbon slide. I embossed them in silver, then added some green glitter to the centers. The sentiment is just stamped on vanilla cardstock, then I trimmed one end and tucked the other end under the ribbon slide. Simple and elegant, doncha think??

Ladybugs galore!

posted by: Angel R.

Thought I'd take a little break from Christmas cards, especially after getting my hands on this *new* little ladybug ribbon slide!! Ain't she cute??!!! I watercolored her, and the little ones on the ladybug backgrounder, with real red and tangerine ink pads. The leaves were colored in w/ my celery marker. I also stamped the ladybug ribbon slide on the sentiment, which is also *new*, in red ink. I thought the swirl went well w/ these stamps, sort of like *flight of the ladybug*, hehe! I pierced along the swirls and also on the tangerine strip. The dots and body of the ladybug were colored in w/ a black glaze pen, so they're a little shiny. The swirl and sentiment layers are up on dimensionals. Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to check out our newest blog challenge below!!!!!!

Berry Christmas wreath

posted by: Angel
Here's a classic Christmas card I created for this weeks' Featured Stamper challenge over on SCS. The featured stamper was Wendy, and man, what a gallery! Anyway, I wanted to use this wreath from DRS Designs since I hadn't yet. To create some depth, I colored the berries w/ burgundy and real red markers. I highlighted some w/ a white gel pen, traced around them w/ my bashful blue marker and also added crystal effects to them. If you click on the pic, you may be able to see it all better (another of those "cooler IRL things", ya know?!). I ran about 2/3 of the vanilla layer thru my 'bug w/ the swirl folder. I pierced along the edge of the embossing, then stamped the swirl image below. I could use that swirl stamp on everything, it is *so* cool!! The sentiment is from the large Christmas sentiment stamp that has several all on one. A filigree flower, brad and gingham finish it off! Thanks so much for stopping by and don't forget to check out our current blog challenge below and get to scrappin'!!!

Frosty Christmas scene

posted by: Angel

Can you believe how close we are to Christmas??? Geesh! Anywho, I just *love* this new snowman from DRS Designs. I decided to make him feel right at home, so I created this winter scene, which was supah easy to do with this tree stamp. After I stamped them in handsome hunter, I lightly watercolored them with the same color ink to fill them in. They're also stamped on the bashful card base. The *snow* is just some liquid applique. He also has some stickles on his hat and buttons, which were also watercolored, as was his scarf. I thought the font of this sentiment went perfect with this *fun* Christmas scene. Ok, one more Christmas card done and about 30 to go! Eeek!! Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to check out our latest blog challenge below!!!

Non-traditional Christmas card

First, my apologies for the late post! I was counting on the color challenge from SCS being posted when I woke up this morning, but it wasn't (I totally understand how life can get busy!), so I had to wait til I got home from work to finish up my card. I loved the colors and thought it'd be cool to make a non-traditional Christmas card! Whatcha think? The center pink layer has the easy snowflake backgrounder stamped in versamark then embossed with Iridescent Ice ep. In keeping with the DRS blog challenge #6 (see below post), I kept my soon to be released sentiment as the focal point. The black strips were pierced, as were the corners. Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to check out our blog challenge below!! Please link your work in your comment so we can check it out!!

Mini treat tins!

Ok, you can say it ~ how CA-UTE are these??? hehe! I found these little tins at Target. They come in pairs and were $1 for two!! Yep! Couldn't pass it up! I'll be giving these to my boys' teachers, if I can part with them. ;} On the silver one, I used the witch hat ribbon slide and added extra ribbons to the handle. For the orange one, I stamped the web with black stazon directly on the tin. Then I made a little tag and tied it to the handle, plus added some ribbon to the bottom. SOOO easy!

Don't forget to join us for our 5th blog challenge ~ anything but a card!! If you upload to an online gallery, please use the keyword DRSC5.

Ding Dong, the witch is dead!

The Wizard of Oz is definitely one of my top 5 movies! I can't help but sing along, even if my kids would rather I didn't!! hehe! Anyway, when I saw this *NEW* stamp by DRS Designs, I knew I *had* to have it! Actually, the witch hat, which is a ribbon slide and the sentiment are *NEW* releases, also!!! I watercolored the house and the grass using ink from my SU ink pads. I colored her stockings with my olive marker and her shoes with my real red marker. And of course, I had to make them *sparkle* like the infamous "ruby red slippers", so I added stickles to them. The witch hat ribbon slide was stamped using white craft ink. I went over the sentiment with a black glaze pen, which gives it a little sheen. These stamps are WAY fun!! Go check out all the *NEW* releases here and get a jump start on your Halloween goodies!!! Thanks for stopping by!!

Christmas Blues

No, I don't HAVE the Christmas blues!! hehe! Just wanted to make a Christmas card using blues and browns ~ one of my fave color combos! For the larger panel, I used the NEW sentiment frame from DRS. I don't have a sentiment (at the moment!) that fits into the frame, so I decided to use it as a background stamps. I love how it turned out! The snowflake swirl stamp is also a NEW one available. I like that it sort of highlights the sentiment. A quick and easy, yet elegant Christmas card if you ask me!! Hope you like it and thanks for stopping by!
stamps used: F875, F334, H892.

Embossed star ribbon slide

Here's a simple and festive holiday card I came up with while playing with my new DRS Designs ribbon slide. They're available for purchase now and I just *love* them!! And this star is just so elegant! I embossed it w/ silver ep so it really stood out. All of the dp is from the same paper pack, so no worrying about matching anything. I added 3 rows of piercing to draw your eye to the sentiment. Speaking of piercing, don't forget to check out our blog challenge posted below!!! Thanks for stopping by!!
