Hello Wednesday!!!

Good morning everybody,
Hope your day is starting off well. I'm heading into work later, but I just had to post my latest creation. This is an image from 2Cute Rubber Stamps, their digital collection.

I colored him in with Copic markers, then printed out a second copy of the image and colored in only the ball of yarn. I raised that up and of course added Stickles to give it pizzazz!!!

The little embellishments are from a pack of buttons that I found. I cut off the button shanks and added them to the card with Glue Dots. The metal saying is from Lasting Impressions, and the glitter dots, well honestly, your guess is as good as mine LOL. I found them in a stash of stuff, in a drawer, and don't laugh you know you all have that same drawer! LOL
Don't forget to participate in the latest 2Cute Challenge where you could win free stuff, plus they are having a Design Team Call. This is a great group of ladies to work with and Heidi, the owner is amazing.
Hope everyone has a great day and happy crafting - Jodie

Happy 4th of July Weekend

Good morning everyone,
I trust everyone is enjoying this holiday weekend. I just wanted to post one of my latest creations...

These little guys from 2Cute Rubber Stamps were colored in with Copic markers, Wild Orchid flowers were added, plus I had to put on a bit of Distress Stickles Rock Candy, and the paper is from a paper pack put out by K&Company.
I also wanted to mention that 2Cute Rubber Stamps has a Challenge going on that you will want to participate in. Heidi is great and her designs are adorable.
I hope everyone has a great weekend, take care,
Jodie

Versatility of Digital Stamps

Good morning everyone,
It seems I've been MIA lately but I've got a few projects in the works, so stay tuned for more ideas to come.
I have been a fan of digital stamps for a while now, so I thought I'd share some of the advantages of owning these digital gems.
One company I've been involved with is 2Cute Rubber Stamps. I've used one of their images here to create this ATC...

Once purchased you simply download the image and it's yours to use. With digital stamps you can resize them to fit any project. Here I made Crabby small so that he would fit onto an ATC.
Also you can change the color and quantity...

I resized the image even smaller, changed the color and copy and pasted him multiple times to create my own background paper! This is a fun & easy way to cor-ordinate your projects.
2Cute Rubber Stamps is hosting a challengeof Anything But a Card. This means that your project can be anything other than a greeting card. My entry is this ATC. Here is another 3D view...

After I colored in the image with Copic markers, I added shells then put Stickles Glitter glue onto them for added pizzazz.
Hope everyone has a great weekend and get crafty!!!

Bling, bling and More bling

Good morning everyone,
Made it back from my scrapbooking retreat and it was a blast. I can't believe how much I actually got done. Of course the fact that I pre-planned my work doesn't have anything to do with it! LOL
Here is one of the cards I created over this past weekend...

This little cutie was made with Mermaid and Friends. She was colored in with Copic markers and I wanted to enter her into a challenge so...

I blinged her out. I added Stickles Glitter Glue to the image to add punch, then I punched out photo corners and added Art Institute Glitter to them. But I couldn't stop there - LOL

For the final touch I added a string of pearls down the side, because let's face it, every girl should have pearls.
The challenge is from The Sisterhood of Crafters and it has to do with Bling, Bling and more bling!! Right up my alley.
Hope you all have a great Wednesday and don't be shy, I'd love to hear from you.
Take care - Jodie

It's Saturday...

Good morning all,
I hope you are having a wonderful weekend so far and that you're creative juices are flowing in full force.
As I mentioned yesterday, here is my card for the 2Cute Rubber Stamps Celebration Challenge.

This pair is ubercute and adorable. The image is a digital stamp called Cute Cherry Wedding and can be found in the 2Cute Etsy Digital Stamp store. Of course I couldn't just stop at coloring in the image with Copic markers so....

I pop dotted up the bowtie and flouwer, then added glitter for extra punch. The paper is handmade Washi paper, which I love, and the embellishments are Dewdrops.
Please enjoy and have a fabulous weekend.
Take care - Jodie

Happy National Scrapbooking Day Weekend

Good morning everybody,
I hope everyone is going to find time to be creative this weekend in celebration of National Scrapbooking Day.
2Cute Rubber Stamps is hosting a fun challenge, Celebrations. It is super easy to join, so why not have some fun?!
I'm off to a scrapbooking event with a good friend of mine and we're leaving today. I'm still trying to get organized and for those of you who know me, that's no surprise that I've left everything till the last moment! :-)
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and be sure and drop by tomorrow to check out my card for the challenge.
I'll post pictures of my projects that I will hopefully get done over the next few days...fngers crossed!!
Take care - Jodie

Friends & Fun

Well as we near the end of April, I wanted to created a card that reminded me of spring and summer. Nothing says summer, at least to me, like ice cream cones!!!

This image is called Artic Friends, which is one of the older digital stamps from 2Cute Rubberstamps. I colored in the image with Copic markers, but added a bit of flare with my newest tool...

This is a wax sealing tool that I bought at my local Hobby Lobby, and yes of course it was with a 40% off coupon - LOL. I melted the wax, then stamped the image into it with the stamp that comes with the kit. There are 5 images in total.

I then added glitter for the finishing touch, and voila, my card is done. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and happy crafting!!! - Jodie
