Girls’ Night Out!

Using the sketch316 over at SCS, I came up with this card using InStyle Stamp digi image, Girls’ Night Out.

I flipped the sketch on it’s side. Colored image with copics, added crystal effects to all the glasses. Design paper is from DCWV The Whimsy. No card is complete without a little bling so I added some rhinestones to the bottom of my card.

supplies: digi from InStyle Stamps, white, black, DCWV The Whimsy, rhinestones, crystal effects, copics

Instyle Blog Hop

Check out my post below for some blog candy on this Black Friday!

Welcome to InStyle’s blog hop!  Hopefully you came from Kristine’s blog.  So our theme was favorite holiday song and make a non card project.  Well that is hard for me as I love them all so I picked one that went more with the image I used. Plus we are putting up our Christmas tree today so it is beginning to look like Christmas in our house!

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Ev'rywhere you go;
Take a look in the five-and-ten, glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes aglow.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas,
Toys in ev'ry store,
But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be
On your own front door.
A pair of hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots
Is the wish of Barney and Ben;
Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk
Is the hope of Janice and Jen;
And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Ev'rywhere you go;
There's a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well,
The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas;
Soon the bells will start,
And the thing that will make them ring is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart.

Are you singing yet? I know I am. So for my project, I went with a lip gloss holder. Colored my image with copics and prismacolor pencils, added some sparkle by using smooch on the bulbs, star, barrette and her boots. Cut the image out completely and used dimension on the back.  Cuttlebugg’d the oval and the inside.

Measurements for the holder are as followed. Outside piece: 5 3/4 x 3 1/2. Score at 2 1/2  and 3 1/4 so that the middle is about 3/4 wide. The inside is cut the same but I cut mine down just a little on the top, bottom and sides.  To make the loop, I cut about 1 1/4 inch  lengthwise with 1/2 inch in between before I made the next 1 1/4 cut. (Depending on how big your item is, you may have to adjust the loop cut)

Now go on over to Kerry’s blog to see what she has in store for you!  And don’t forget to head to InStyle’s blog to vote on which project you liked the best and then leave a comment on InStyle’s blog for a chance to win a $25 goodie bag from InStyle Stamps!

Inspiration Challenge 259

I used the IC259 challenge for my card today. We were to pick something from the Plaid Pony Vintage site and I went with The Calico Cat. The colors and of course the cat inspired me.

I used Kitten Play from InStyle Stamps. Colored with copics and prismacolor pencils/blended with odorless mineral spirits. Added some sparkles to the butterfly, ball and collar. Image was cutout completely and then added to a scallop spellbinder. Tis on dimensions. Martha Stewart border punch used and design paper by DCWV The Pet Stack. Added some square bling in the corner.  Layout comes from Queen Kat Designs Gallery.

I’m a Guest Designer…

When Taylor asked if I’d like to be a guest designer for Instyle Stamps, I couldn’t say no.

I decided to play along with the Featured Stamper 196 yesterday but didn’t have a chance to post my card. I cased this card of jazzytobi. I changed image, colors and didn’t emboss my background.

I used Puppy Love and colored it with copics and highlighted with prismacolor pencils. Added stickles to the hearts. Cut the image out completely and layered on brown circle and then on so saffron scallop spellbinder circle.  Design paper is DCWV The Pets Stack.

          Thanks for Stopping By!
