Ring bell for service

Do you ever have those days where you just want to change your name?? You know instead of going by 'mom' you could go by 'what else can I do for you mom?'. LOL! My card is perfect for those kind of days ;)

I used one of my favorite images from the new set ROFL Taglines. The bell image was stamped in Chocolate Chip right onto the dp and was then colored in with a blender pen and SU inks before adding some Diamond Glaze to make them stand out.

Inside of card. The sentiment says 'If no one answers do it yourself.' How perfect is that??? I'm thinking about getting a real bell to put in every room of my house ;)
Have a great day everyone!!

TSG Color Challenge!

    
Our Trendsetter of the week Dawn has challenged us with a great color challenge! The colors to be used are red, pink, and brown which are perfect for the upcoming holiday :) I hope you will play along with us for your chance to win a $5 TSG gift certificate!
For my card today I used the brand new stamp set ROFL Taglines. The images were stamped on white cardstock then colored using Copic markers. After they were attached to the sentiment layer with dimensionals, I used a Gellyroll Glaze pen on the polka dots to give them a little dimension.

I just wanted to give you all a heads up that the TSG Website will be down for awhile today and possibly tomorrow as it undergoes some maintenance. Thank you for your patience!

Another ATC & Friday Night Chat!

Here is another ATC that I made for this week's TSG challenge. Have I mentioned how much I love making ATC's?? ;) I used the new set Aim For The Clouds and colored the images using Copic markers. For the mountain layer, I stamped the mountains onto whisper white card stock, masked the mountains and sponged with Soft Sky for a nice sky color. The clouds were stamped onto a seperate piece of paper, cut out and glued on using a Quickie Glue Pen. The balloons were also stamped onto a separate piece of paper, colored, cut out and added to the main layer using dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment and punched out with the Word Window Punch before adding star rhinestones and attaching it to the ATC using dimensionals.


It's Friday which means that it's time again for the Friday Night Chat! We love meeting new people and I hope that you will stop by to say hello. The official chat doesn't start until 7:00 PM Pacific time but feel free to stop in here at any time during the day to say hello :)

More ATCs!

As promised, I am back to show you some more ATCs that I made for this week's TSG Challenge. I absolutely love how these turned out! I used the brand new stamp set Chemistry. This set is so much fun to color and create with :) I stamped the images onto white cardstock and colored them with a blender pen. I then cut them out and added some Diamond Glaze to parts of the images to make them stand out more.

TSG40- ATC

Monday is here and you know what that means, it's time for another great TSG Challenge! Our challenge this week is brought to us by the Trendsetter of the week, Maki. She has challenged us to make an ATC. I am so excited about this challenge because ATCs are one of my very favorite stamping projects! You haven't made one yet, I highly recommend that you do :)

ATC stands for Artist Trading Card and the size is 2.5x3.5 which is the perfect size so that they can be stored in baseball card holders! Which is exactly what I do with mine. I love going through my ATC binder looking at all my 'pretties'! You can find out all about this challenge here on the TSG Blog.

For today's ATC (I made a bunch of them that I will be sharing throughout the week!) I used the new set ROFL Taglines which was just released this weekend. This set has a bunch of different images that would be perfect to use on a set of ATC's!

As soon as I designed this roll of film, I knew right away that the first project I created with it was going to definitely have some 3D element to it. I stamped the film twice, colored (with a blender pen and ink) the container and first part of film on one and colored the entire film of the other. I then cut them out and layerd them by curling parts of the images with my finger before adding a dimensional under the first part of the film before it 'curls'. I added the image to the ATC base with another dimensional. I stamped, colored, cut out and added the smaller film containers with a thinner dimensional.

I hope you will play along with us this week! ATCs are so much fun to make and I know that you will be addicted after you make one :) Come back tomorrow to see some more ATC's!
