Dare to Get Dirty Day 3

Hey crafty peeps!  It's Day 3 of the Dare to Get Dirty Challenges, and I'm showing off a card I made to help out one of the hostesses, Bev!  Here is my card:

I made my own background using some reinkers, and I think it turned out puuurty.  The sentiment is from an older Clear Dollar Stamps set called Christian Sympathy.  I enjoyed myself so much that I will definitely be making more cards like these :D

Come join in the fun for the Dare to Get Dirty Challenges going on over at Splitcoaststampers!

Black & White with a Pop of Color

Happy Friday, friends!  It is crazy rainy here today, but I won't complain. . .all of my family and friends back in Nebraska have been hit by a small blizzard.  A little rain is workable ;)  

I have a new card to share for the Clearly Inspired Challenge #69.  The challenge over at Clearly iStamp is to use mostly black and white with a pop of color.  I'm in love with washi tape, so I used a couple of rolls and the sentiment from the digital set called SPLAT.

Happy Birthday

I am always in need of birthday cards, so I jumped all over this one.  I used the newly released digital set called Eat More Cake.  I used the sprinkles for some background paper, and then colored up that yummy cake using my Copics.  I finished it off by painting the frosting with a pearl pen.

Clearly Digital Stamps Release Day

Welcome to Clearly Digital Stamps release day!  You didn't come here to hear me babble, so let's get to it!  There are so many wonderful sets being released today, and you won't want to miss a bit of crafty goodness for the DT (links in my sidebar).

The first set I'm showing you is called Peep Peeps, and I have to say that I am just in love with Lisa's darling little chicks!  Don't you just love them?!  This image is just one of a few that the set comes with.

This next set is called Eat More Cake, and it has a lot of great images and sentiments.  I used some crackle glaze on my cake to give it a shiny crackled effect.  The inside says, '. . .and eat it too'. 

Both sets are available now over at Clearly Digital Stamps, so after you check out the rest of the DT's work why don't you do a little shopping?  You're sure to find something you just can't live without ;)

CIC68 -- Let's Get Inky

It's a new month and it's Friday, which means that there is a new challenge over at Clearly iStamp!  The challenge is to get inky, which means to use ink in a nifty way.  I chose to use a reinker on watercolor paper and blow it using a straw.  I really like the background effect it gives, and you could really go nuts with colors.  My sentiment comes from a new digital set that Lisa designed for CDS called Splats.  Head on over to the Clearly iStamp blog for more details and to see what the other designers came up with!

CDS Sunday Blog Hop

Welcome to the Clearly Digital Stamps Monthly Blog Hop!  You should have made your way here from Sarah's Blog.  If you didn't, why not head on over to the beginning, which is the Clearly iStamp Blog.  You won't want to miss a bit of inspiration that the DT has for you.  Each month we are given a challenge and this month it was Something New.  

My 'something new' was this darling new digi called LITTLE CHICKIE.  It was just released, and you could win it here from my blog.  That's the prize for commenting here.  Not only that, but each DT has a different set that they are featuring, so be sure and comment on each blog for a chance to win the set they used!  How's that for a prize?!  That also gives us more winners!

Make sure you comment before you go, and then make your way over to Deonna's blog.  I'm sure she has something absolutely wonderful for you to oogle at :D

Stamps:  Little Chickie

Paper:  Little Yellow Bicycle dp, Neenah Solar White

Accessories:  Tags Trio & Long Rectangle Nesties, oval punch, silver brads, foam tape, Copics

Brown & Red CIC #67

I'm so happy it's Friday, because this has been one busy week.  Are you as ready for the weekend as I am? Is crafting on your 'to do' list?  If so, put this one down as one to be sure and do.  Over at Clearly iStamp the new Clearly Inspired Challenge is a color challenge.

Brown & Red

That is easy enough, so no excuses ;)  I used the featured digital image called MR. SPIKE.  He's just adorable.  I've already used him to make some Georgia Bulldogs cards for a friend.  Since I'm a Nebraska Husker fan that was hard to do, but that dog is pretty cute.

I did a little dry embossing and also rubbed the ink directly onto the paper on the separate panels.  Since it's a 'ruff day' card, I thought some washi tape to attach the panels would be a good touch.  Tape can fix stuff right? ;)

We are off to Science Lab, but thanks for stopping in today!

Stamps:  Mr. Spike digital image

Ink:  CDS Cherry Go Round, Memento Espresso Truffle

Paper:  kraft, CDS Cherry Go Round, CDS Mud Pie, Neenah Solar White

Accessories:  red heart brad, washi tape, Labels Nesties, Heart Block embossing folder

CDS New Releases

CDS Release Day!

Release day over at Clearly Digital Stamps is one of my favorite times, because I finally get to show you the amazing new images that I've been working with!  This month I'm using both images from my dear friend Lisa.  Every month she always designs some gorgeous things for CDS!

For the new set called Java Minute, I made a gift card holder.  Most people I know love some coffee, so this will surely come in handy.  She designed this set a with some neat bold images for overlapping.  You'll neeeeed to check out the rest of the DT's stuff to be sure and see how amazing this set is.

I jut simply fell in love with this next set called Penguin Pals.  They just make me giggle when I look at them, and I had such fun designing this card.  There are a few other great images in this set that you'll want to check out too!

I made my little kitty to look like my kitty, Niki.  He's a Siamese, and although I don't consider myself a cat person, I am definitely a Nik person.

I used some of my papers from my recent Simon Says Card Kit, and some stickers and washi tape from a different kit :) Come on over to Clearly iStamp to check out the challenge and play along.  The more that play, the more that win!

CDS Sunday Blog Hop -- Trick or Treat

Hey there, and welcome to the Clear Dollar Stamps Sunday Blog Hop!  We do this monthly to inspire you AND to give away a great prize!  That sounds like a win/win!  You should have made your way here from Deonna's blog, but if you didn't why not head to over to Clearly iStamp to get started.  You won't want to miss a bit of crafty inspiration :)

Our challenge was to make something with the theme 'Trick or Treat', and I couldn't resist using Trudy's Autumn Friends digi for this one.  I was also inspired by the current Hope You Can Cling To challenges over at Splitcoaststampers.  I made this for Judy's 'Monster Mash' challenge.

I know exactly who I'll send it to as well, hehe.  I colored that fun image with my Copics, and used some MME Mischievous papers for the background.

After you comment, you'll want to head on over to Lori's blog.  I'm certain she has something wonderful to share!
