All projects must be uploaded by midnight PST February 7th to qualify

Again, a min of FIVE entries for a prize win!

Here is what I created for January!

****************************
Let me explain what you will see from me this week.
I choose FIVE Stamp Anniething Image Stamps, and decided I would show that you do not need alot of COPICS or Supplies to create completely different looks in projects
All five days this week, you will see I used the SAME copic Markers and teh SAME patterned paper for ALL 5 projects, yet each looks completely different!  So with that being said, lets get started with my Day 1 project!

I used sweet Melanie as a treat project today!

Its no surprise I did the blue / black hair.  Its my FAVE hair combo and I just LOVE the shine it gives nd Im just partial to it!  Since the theme this week is Pink, Red and White, I choose my patterned paper FIRST (to make sure I had enough for 5 projects) and then I color matched with Copic markers using the freaking awesome HEX CHART from Sandy Allnock!

So here is my Melanie, on Doodlebug Patterned Papers, all colored with Copic Markers.

I added her to a panel die, then a bundle of heart lollipops.  I stamped a sentiment from Up Up and Away  and put that on a mini tag dies 2.

LIMITED SUPPLIES I Used

 (I say limited because I used the same supplies listed below ALL week long!)

`~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Here is m fun take on Kelly!

I wanted to keep her bright and fun (if you recall, last time she had candy corn hair with our Halloween Release!).... so I wanted to keep her fun spirit alive in this release too!

I decided to give her vibrant purplish/pink and black hair and keep the project dark with a POP of color!

I used the Scalloped Square and Stitched Square Dies to make a smaller card.  The Scallop Slider die served as my mat.

Stamps are available in the STORE NOW!

Sour Patch Kids!! These are my son's favorites (one of them)... and I must admit, I love them too!

So homage to my boy Colin, my very own Sour Patch Kid!

Cause sometimes he really is sour, but underneath VERY SWEET!!

 I used the Sour Patch FREEBIE file (Today Only) to make a sweet and simple CAS style card (just cut a standard A2 size and then matted it with the awesome Card Mat dies.  I LOVE the sentiment from Got Candy? - it works on so many levels!  I added some doodle sprinkles in the candy colors and wrapped some black and white twine to ground it.  I also made a treat bag filled with these delicious candies. I placed them in a gusset bag and filled 'er up.... used the treat tag die and another sentiment from Got Candy?  Life really would be sour with my Colin in it!

 Side view of the gummy kids!!

I added diamond dust glitter to all the edges to give them that sugar coated look and feel.  

Remember this Sour Patch file is free TODAY ONLY.

Super Quick Valentine project

Here is an SUPER fast and simple one to make when you are in a time crunch!!

All ya need is some Jaded Blossom Tubes, Dies and sentiments! Super fast and easy... you can squeeze these out in a heartbeat!

Fill your Tubes with Kisses

Die cut your Treat tag Die, Scallop Heart and Heart.

I punched a 3/4 hole in my heart and then stamped the puzzle piece to show through.  Stamped a sweet little sentiment on a mini banner die... and then wrapped the top and bottom of the tube with the hearts border die.

Accent with some Twine..and there you go... quick and easy treats for class parties or family!

Valentine Scratch Off Coupons, DIY!!

Hi everyone... today I wanted to share with you some fun and simple DIY Scratch off Valentines Coupons!  Now you can really use this concept for just about anything...but since Valentines Day is just around the corner, I opted to make some fun Coupons for the hubby!
Now I won't lie...these do take some planning.... the actual making of them is a piece of cake..but the planning is VERY important!
So gather around the supplies you will need which are:
Metallic Paint, Clear Dish soap, Rubber stamps, Packing Tape,Painters Tape, all the paper and dies and embellies you plan to use.


This first thing you need to do is come up with some sort of "template" for your coupons/card etc.  You need to do this important step so you know where things will be layed out so you know where to put your Scratch Off Part.  I just created on my computer a simple plain Coupon template.. that has a box for my scratch off (planning comes in handy cause you need to know which stamps you plan to use to make sure your box is the right size!)

Nest you need to stamp what your coupon is good for.  In my examples, I am offering up Dinner on Me, A Good Lunch, Something Pretty, The Movies, etc.  I had all these wonderful stamps on the JB Gift Card Galore Set.

Next you need to mask off the area that will be your "scratch Off" with your packing tape.  I used an exact-o knife to make it the exact square of my window.

Next you need to take some PAINTERS tape and mask around your area so when you paint it..it doesnt get on the Coupon part of your card. Then you need to mix 2 Parts Paint to 1 Part Dish Soap.... mix it WELL and then do a light coat over your window area.

 THE HARD PART?  Letting each coat dry in between...YES it takes several coats... so don't rush it..do a thin coat, allow it to dry..then apply another and another!!

Once your paint is completely dry... peel off your painters tape... decorate your coupon card with stamps, dies, embellishments, etc...and your final project looks something like this!

 All Stamps and Dies are from Jaded Blossom.  We used Gift Cards Galore,  Simple Sayings Valentine Editions,  and Valentines Die.

Cupid In Clouds, Digi My World Stamp release!

Hi everyone! Annie here to show you a super quick and easy treat I made for Valentines Day!
I used the new Cupid In Cloud Digital Stamp and colored him with my copics.  The set comes with quite a few adorable images, I choose the one of the boy laying on his tummy looking down from the clouds!

 

I added my image to a treat bag filled with Hershey Kisses!  I used the Fancy topper Die from Jaded Blossom and their Scallop Heart from Valentines Die to put my sentiment on.  I used a cute one from Sprinkled with Love.  The kisses are lots of fun too, because I used the Conversation Candies to put on the bottom.  Isn't this cute?  Fast and easy treat bag to hand out to the kids classes this year!  Oh and I tied some wonderful Pink twine on too... I got it from Pick Your Plum..its got 2 shades of pink and white twisted.....its really THICK twine, I LOVE IT!
