Sweet Treats

I used todays sketch on SCS. I stamped the matching mini images on Pulsar Pink using Dessert Sand Memento ink. The strawberries and chocolate candy were stamped with Chocolate Brilliance Ink. I colored using different inks and the SU blender pen. I put Crystal Effects on all the images. The strawberries have flower soft to give them some texture. I used Pez A Blings in the corner. The saying is Studio G and stamped on White Leather.

Pez A Doodle has up pre-order for some wonderful new items from Ranger (Tim Holtz).

Studio G Challenge

There is a new Studio G challenge on PCP. The sketch is above my 8 x 8 page. I used Studio G ink and stamps for this page. If you haven't tried Studio G ink, they work fantastic. I wasn't sure because I have tried cheap inks before and was unhappy. The Studio G inks work great on all surfaces. I stamped the sayings on SU ribbon. I highlighted on saying with a frame I got from Oriental Trading. If you have Studio G stamps and inks, pull them out and come play along.
Pez A Doodle has Studio G stamps, inks and glitter glue on pre-order for Halloween, Christmas and general stamps. They are a fantastic price.

Katie's card

Katie create this cute card using paper scraps. She used Studio G stamps for the cup cake and the saying.

Red, White, and Blue Stuidio G Challenge

I created a fun page for my nephew. I am making a scrapbook for him and my niece for Christmas using up extra photos I have. I used the lollipop stamp for the circles. I painted Ruby Red Liquid pearls on the circle and then stamped with Faded Blue Jeans Distressed ink. To give it more shine, I clear embossed the circle. This fits the scrapbook sketch on Stamp TV. All paper is from my scrap pile. All the supplies except paper can be found at Pez A Doodle.
My daughter Katie took part in the challenge too and created this fun card. The Belli challenge is patriotic Theme this week.

Pez A Doodle Wednesday

I used Studio G Stamps on this Father's Day card. Marti says that she will have the upcoming Studio G stamps and inks and other Studio G goodies up for pre sale by this Friday. The tan background was stamped with a Studio G stamp with Brilliance Coffee Bean ink. I used Pez A Blings in the corners of the papers. The paper is tan, Basis Brown and Capaciono from Paper Temptress. Go to Marti's blog today because she has a free digi. It is amazing. I hope to be back later today with a card using this wonderful new digi. Marti has a contest using the new digi. You will have a chance to win all the new releases.

Studio G Father's Day

Crystal has a Father's Day card challenge on her blog. You are to use only blue & brown cardstock, 1 nuetral, and only ribbon and buttons for embellishments. I used some leopard print leather for the ribbon and buttons are from Wal- mart. The base of the card is one that I bought from Jody. It is SU white paper. The blue is double duty blue and Capacino Metallic is the brown both are from Paper Temptress. All stamps are Sudio G from Pez A Doodle.

Embellishment Set

Editor's Note: The winner of the set is Holly. Just email me your address and I will get this sent to you.

This set was made with Studio G stamps. The little embellishments are put on the frosted clear card stock with mini glue dots. This way you just remove them and place them on your card or other project. I used Pez A Blings on the circles.
Here you can see the set all closed up. I am leaving the front blank so you can add whatever you want to the front.
Here you can see the embellishments up close.
This was made using Double Duty Chocolate, and Tan from Paper Temptress. I love the Double Duty Chocolate because one side is textured and one side is smooth. The ribbon is Mary Arts.
Now for the fun. I will be choosing one lucky person to receive this set along with a card blank and some of the DP to make their own card. One idea to use the holder is to put notes in for dad from the kids. Just leave a comment on this post and I will draw a name on Thursday, May 22 at 3 pm (PST).

Red, Black & White Challenge

Cammie's color challenge on Stamp TV is to use red, black and white on your project. I decided to do another scrapbook page. The border is Hedi Swapp chipboard borders. I painted with Adirondack Paint Pitch Black and Red Pepper. Then stamped the candy with Color Box white. All stamps are Studio G. The titles are fonts from Lettering Delights. Basic Black is the base of the page. Mars Metallic and Opal Metallic were used as accents. I have to say that this is the first page that I have done with black as the base and I love it.

Blue & Yellow set

Here is another pocket card. I am having a blast making this card. I have been given permission to make a picture tutorial. Unfortunetly, I will not get to it till June. Sorry for the wait. I used Paper Temptress Sorbet Double Sided Paper and Euphoria from Basic Grey. I used Studio G stamps. This fits the challenge that has been on Studio G's Paper Planet Group was to Paper Piecing. I did this with the flowers on the card.

Pez A Doodle Day

I used Studio G Stamps for the flowers and the saying. I used a pale pink and it was hard to photograph because the card base is bright pink. I used scraps for all the papers. If you would like me to do a tutorial on how I got the squares to frame the card. I used a sketch from a new challenge called Unscripted Sketches.

Pink Butterfly page

I have decided to get back to scrapbooking which is what I did before I learned about cardmaking. I have extra photos and I just couldn't throw them away so I decided to make mini scrapbooks for my niece and nephew for Christmas. I know I can't believe I am thinking this far ahead. This page shows my niece and my daughter. I just love this photo. The layout was last weeks Erika's scrapbook challenge on Stamp TV. I printed the quote and banner from by computer. The title uses Studio G flower stamps on the background. I used a template to cut the letters. I stamped 2 Studio G and then cut them out. The title fits a challenge on the Studio G group.

Whimsy Birthday

Whimsy Stamps has a challenge blog. The first challenge is Celebration. I used the Whimsy Owl. I think she is just so cute. I stamped her in Brilliance ink. I inked below in chocolate ink and the top in Brilliance blue. The background is stamped with cupcakes from Studio G stamps. The flower is from a digital set by Fred She Said. The saying is from by H&M Stamps. The paper is Sparkle text for the owl and Heavenly White Ultrasmooth and both are from Paper Temptress. This card fits Cute Card Thursday challenge for using flowers.

Easter Baskets

I bought the template for these baskets from Digi Chicks. The basket with the bunny is the template printed as is. The other basket is one I changed and added text with Photoshop Elements 3. The picture on the right is the front and back of the basket. The Font is one I got from Lettering Delights. This fits Sweet n Sassy's challenge to make something for Easter. The basket with the bunny and lines are Studio G stamps.

Pink Daffodil

Flourishes Friday Focus was to use paper piecing on your card. Faith showed how she paper pieced her flower. I wouldn't have thought to paper piece a flower but I love how this opens up so many options for flowers. I used Spring for You. from Flourishes. The backfround is vellum embossed with the dots folder. The little pink flower above the Happy Easter is Studio G. Pez a Doodle has a wonderful set of Studio G stamps for an amazing price.

Digi Chick just released this cute little egg basket. I printed the pattern on regular paper and held the paper on the Iridescents Ivory with temporay double stick tape. The card is Iridescents Pearl. The Iridescents are from Paper Temptress. If you are wondering what the pink thing in the basket, it is McDonald's gift card. This set is for my niece.
