ENABLER ALERT. 
I have completely fallen head over heals for SugarPea Designs Stamps by Wendy Ramlakhan.
They are the cutest and Wendy is even having a Valentines Sale this weekend too.

This card is for the
SugarPea Designs Anything Goes Challenge

I loved pulling the shutters forward for dimension.

And for Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

GET KRAFTY

I used the faux wood technique on my kraft bg to look like a house. 

I bought this cutie

WHAT'S MEW 

from the SugarPea Designs new release

 and could not wait to ink her up once that mail man brought her. 

I had this idea when I first saw this stamp set which was love at first site. 

I cut out along the image cutting off the bottome of the branch and the side of the extending branch. 

Then colored simply, folded the shutters forward added glossy accents to the glass of the window and popped up just the middle on my card.

He is one of the cute little extras in this set and I made him the focal point on my card.  The first time I saw this image that little guy just stood out to me and I knew I had to use him.  Isn't he so cute!

I paper pieced him and created a scene with punches and dies and sponging my sky.

SWEET INTERN PROGRAM

Sweet Intern Program 

I am embarking on a new journey. 

 I am interning with the Sweet Stamp Shop in their Sweet Intern Program.  I am an artist that loves to be crafty and illustrate.  I have illustrated for two stamp companies.  I am at the point where I want to develop my talent, market my skills and make money doing it.  

If this sounds like something you would like

to know more about as an artist yourself 

visit Nicole's post HERE. 

If you are a stamp company/owner

 please watch for my work as I blossom in this program and see if I fit with the goals of your company. 

BIRTHDAY BOXERS FOR AJVD

Here's a little peek at my post over on the
 A Jillian Vance Design Blog today. 
Come see how I made this fun and easy  masculine CAS card.  

WHOOO LOVES YOU VALENTINE

It is time for a new Tiddly Inks Challenge 

Come join us and get your Valentines done at the same time in our

Valentine's Challenge

 I made a Latch Sleeve

It is a great way to dress up and personalize a box of Sweethearts conversation hearts. 

I used the adorable Tiddly Inks Digi

(this is a picture of it closed)

Who Loves You?

I enlarged the image

so that the owl would take up most of my 1 1/2" circle die

This is also for the
Fusion Challenge #3
I chose the photo as my inspiration ... Valentine, heart and box. 
My project is a Valentine, I made a heart embellishment and covered a box of conversation hearts.

 

Here it is unlatched.

I used the faux wood technique to make my sleeve look like a tree trunk. 

Made my own embellishment (heart) by punching out a heart of white card, colored with Copics and covered with Glossy Accents. 

Open. 

I do have glue dots at the top and bottom of the box holding the sleeve on.

I sponged color onto the green scallop circle using Tim Holtz ink and blender tool.

I made my own sentiment, cut it up and popped it up.  

RECIPE:

STAMPS: Who Loves You? Digi (Tiddly Inks)

PAPER: Kraft, Chartreuse, White (Papertrey Ink)

I kept the coloring simple

just using one marker for each color and shading by layering in the bigger areas.  I printed out two of this image, the second I colored and cut out her hair, dress, and shoes, embossed them and popped them up for dimension. 

This card is also for a few fun challenges.
