Sweet Stamping Design Team Card - Animals

⛄Hello and good morning everyone ---

Well it's Saturday and Sweet Stampin' time and it's only 2 weeks to Crimbo......whoopeee!!

So I'm here to share my latest Design Team Challenge card with you. Our fab theme this week is 'Animals' and I'm using a very cute digi stamp from All Dressed Up called  'Christmas Reindeer'. I decided on a CAS card we could be easily recreated for batch making especially for this time of year. I used alcohol pens to colour in the image and Colour Cloud inks for the background ...these are my new toy and I love them. Merry Christmas and thanks for looking ❅

 

Don't forgot to enter our challenge you must include a stamped element on your card/project, follow our theme and link back to the Sweet Stampin' blog for a chance to win a prize! 

 

Here's What I Did
I covered a 6" x 6" card blank front with lilac patterned paper with I edged with distressing ink. Next I printed the reindeer onto colouring card and die cut it into an oval. I coloured the reindeer with Spectrum Noir Illustrator pens.

I printed the reindeer again onto copier paper and fussy cut out to create a mask, using removable tape this was placed over the image along with an paper oval to mask out a snowy base for the reindeer to stand on. The sky and the ground was inked using Colour Clouds in pink and blue shades.

I added glitter and glitter pens to the ground, baubles and snowflakes.

To complete the card I added a few punched out stars and added the topper to the card front using foam tape, and pearls were added at the top and bottom.

Sweet Stampin' Design Team Card - Wedding/Anniversary/Love

Hello and good morning everyone ---

Well it's Saturday and Sweet Stampin' time - so I'm here to share my Design Team Challenge card with you. Our lovey dovey theme this week is 'Wedding/Anniversary/Love' and after checking my hundreds of stamps and digi stamps collection I found this gorgeous one from All Dressed Up (ADU). She's called 'The Gorgeous Bride' and was actually part of a set given as a magazine wedding freebie a year or so back, I just think she's beautiful. You can buy her individually and other bridal images from ADU themselves (click the link in the ingredient section).  I used my pencils to colour her in with and just added a touch of glitter to her flowers.

Don't forgot to enter our challenge you must include a stamped element on your card/project, follow our theme and link back to the Sweet Stampin' blog for a chance to win a prize! 
 

 Here's What I Did

I matted a 5" x 5" white card base with a piece of patterned paper that I'd die cut with a pieced holes die on the inside cut line.  I then printed my digi stamp directly copier paper (for a mask), and onto colouring card stock and die cut it into an oval along with a pink mat. I coloured the image in with pencils and some blending solution.

Next I cut out the image I printed onto copier paper and glued it in place over the coloured in image to mask it - I used a removable tape pen but you could use a post-it note. Using pale coloured inks I stamped random splatters around the bride, when dry I removed the mask and attached it to the mat and to the card front using foam tape.

To complete the card I added a few pearls, a touch of glitter and some die cut flowers and leaves in complimentary papers at the top right.

Here's What I Used

Sugar Nellie Design Team Card - Full Of Grace

- Hello Sugar Fans -

Well hello and good morning to you all.

Wow, this weather is so changeable at the moment - I don't know about you, I don't know if to wear my winter coat and boots or my shorts and sandals. It's just crazy!!!

Anyhoo, it's Wednesday and Sugar Nellie day.  So this week I thought I would make something really girly and pretty for my Sugar Nellie card today. This gorgeous 'All Dressed Up' stamp is called Full Of Grace and she's available as a digital stamp from Funkykits.  I just think she's just so beautiful, there's more of the 'All Dressed Up' digital stamps to download and collect too....so definitely check them out.

Here's What I Did
I used a 6" x 6" scallop card blank and matted it with patterned paper. I printed my image directly onto my colouring cardstock and I coloured her with Copic Markers, to add a little background noise I added various sized dots around the image using the same colours.

I then die cut 2 frames and 2 mounts in both blue and pink CS and layered them up. Using the left over squares from the frames I adhered some doubled sided paper to them and die cut some flowers and leaves. I peeled off the backing paper and added some crystal glitter - these were added to my frames as embellishments. To finish off I added gems, glitter and a few sequins.

Here's What I Used

Sugar Nellie Design Team Card - Abi Ballerina

Good morning all.

I hope you're all well and enjoying the lovely spring weather here in the UK - and to all my international friends I hope you're all having good weather wherever you are.

I know I usually post my Sugar Nellie Design Team on a Thursday, but my posting day has now changed to a Wednesday, so without further ado here is my card for this week. As I can feel a spot of spring in the air, I decided to go green and fresh and use one of the cute All Dressed Up (ADU) rubber stamps.

Isn't she pretty in her little tutu!! She's called 'Abi Ballerina' and she's available in grey rubber from the Funkykits online shop. She stamps beautifully and is a dream to colour; I coloured her with my with Copic markers and added a touch of glitter to her dress so she would sparkle and shine.

 

Here's What I Did

I started with a 7" x 7" white card base and matted it with green card and 2 different patterned papers. To cover the joint of the patterned papers I added a green border strip with ribbon. I stamped my image onto my colouring cardstock and coloured it in with Copic pens, the finished image was then die cut it into a circle along with a green mat which I glued together. I chopped off a section of the circle topper and added it to my card base. To finish off I glittered up her tutu, added few die cut sequins (yes I created my own!), a bow, gem and some pearls.

Sugar Nellie - New ADU Rubber Stamp Launch

Good morning everyone.

I'm here today to show off one of the new rubber stamps from All Dress Up.  Sugar Nellie has partnered with ADU for this launch - the new stamps are available from the Funkykits online shop.

I used this little cutie - isn't she gorgeous!! She's available in grey rubber and she stamps beautifully and a dream to colour. I coloured her with Copic markers and added a little glitter.

I started with a 7" x 7" white card as my base.  I then die cut a rectangle in the centre of my patterned cardstock, and then another slightly smaller rectangle in my plain card stock. I layered up both pieces of cardstock sandwiching the die cut 'Lots Of Love' banner between them.  I stamped my image and coloured it with Copic pens, when it was finished I attached the cardstock frame on top using foam tape to raise it slightly. Everything was then attached to my card base and to finish off I added die cut flowers, pearls and a touch of glitter.

Sugar Nelllie & All Dressed Up Blog Hop

- Hello Sugar Fans and All Dress up Fans -

Well hello and good morning to you all it's Blog Hop Day!!!

Our joint hop is to celebrate All Dressed Up's (ADU) recent birthday and to launch their stamps being available in both rubber and digital from Sugar Nellie.

We're having a BIG blog hop today combining both the Design Teams from Sugar Nellie and ADU's Dressy Girls.

So here's my card ---- or should I say 'book' for the hop. It's a book because I loved all the images so much I couldn't decide on just one, so I coloured all 4 of them. LOL 

Here's What I Did
I taped together 2 5" x 5" card blanks together to make a book so that it folded inwards - placing a strip of ribbon between the cards so that it can be tied together when closed. After printing all the images onto my colouring cardstock I coloured each of them with Copic Markers. I used the same colourway throughout all of the pictures, to finish off I added dots around the images. I then die cut 2 frames and 2 mounts in both blue and pink CS and layered them up. Using the left over squares from the frames I adhered some doubled sided paper to them and die cut my flowers, snowflakes and leaves. I peeled off the backing paper and added some crystal glitter - these were added to my frames as embellishments. I attached  3 of the panels to the inside of the card base and one on the back.  The front has a typed greeting in the same colour way as the rest of the book.

Here's What I Used

Stamp: New 'All Dressed Up' stamps available from Sugar Nellie at Funkykits

Paper/Cardstock (CS): Craftwork Super Smooth Digital CS, Topsy Turvy CS, Double Sided Adhesive Paper
Copics: Skin: E0000, E000, E00, E11, R30 / Pink Shades - / Blue shades -  / Blonde/Red Hair - YR0000, YR000, YR00, E13, E99 / Black Hair - C1, C2, C3, C5, C7, 000

Dies: Tonic Square Layering Dies, MFT Die-namic 'Flower Trio & Leaves Trio', MFT Die-namics 'Snowflakes', Tattered Lace 'Embellishments'
