ATS Prview Day One!!!

Well here we are at day one of the previews for the great stamps that will be released this Thursday night at 10 pm! Be sure to stop by the ATS blog and check out what all the fabulous design team members have for you to see and tease you with the fun products that are coming out!!!

I wanted to give you two views of this card so you could get a better look.... now this little darling is Ima Butterfly. I think she is so ADORABLE!! I wanted her to look like she was running in a spring field of butterflies and that was easy to do with the help of the new Butterfly border cutter that will be available this Friday. I had so much fun with this cutter as you can get a whole line of butterflies like I used on the first row of this card, then I cut some of them to make separate groups of butterflies too. The butterfly sentiment is  from the new Spring Logos set that ... yes will be available on Friday too! Other C.C. Design products that I used were the Mushroom border cutter and the Be Happy Sentiment set both released last month. The flower in the second row is cut with the Five point flower cutter from C.C. Designs too.

When I put together how to show off this darling in the best way, here is what I decided to do.I paper pieced her little dress wtih some of the great Easter 6x6 pad from We R Memory Keepers, Cotton Tails. To make her wings sparkle I used Micro Fine glitter after I had colored them with copic markers and I wanted her rubber boots to shine so I covered them with Glossy Accents. Here is a close up of her so that you can see how she looks close up.

I had so much fun making this card and I sure hope that you enjoy it too!!

Copic colors that were used: Pinks - RV000, 00, 11 / Greens - G21, 40 / Hair - YR30, Y21, E53 /

"Girl Talk" for MFTWSC60

Yeah - I got time this week to play along with the sketch at MFT, the sketches are always such a great starting point....come and play along!! So here is the sketch...

And here is what I did with it and a look at the inside too......



Okay I had  fun with this card ..... fun stamp to work with the ALM Girl Talk from MFT - love the big iphone!! And yes I had so much fun with the new Bo Bunny "Serenity" line - love the color combo and all the fun embellishments that go with it. Don't you love her designer iphone case - I want one just like that!!! Okay I used a few of the MFT dienamics on this card.... Decorative Doily, Sweet Stack, Simple Scallop large, Leafy FLourish, and the Polka Dot greeting frame is on the inside. Now I need to tell you what I did on the circle...I cut the patterned circle with a Spellbinder die from the Bo Bunny paper, then I cut the top piece off the Leafy Flourish to add that little bit of flourish to decorate, then I cut some flowers from the rub ons that go with the Bo Bunny paper and I like the look I got with it. To not waste the rest of the Leafy Flourish I added those to the inside of the card!! Hope you like it as I had fun making it for sure!!! 

Colored her up with copic markers and carefully cut her out and popped her up on the circle!!

ATS Wednesday Challenge Reminder - "Fancy Folds"

What fun to try something brand new (well for me anyways) - a sidestep card!! I found some great instructions for making this card at Splitcoaststampers!! (click on the link to go right there) The challenge that was put out last week was to make a card with "fancy folds" and I took a quick look and saw there are some great entries already in for the challlenge ...stop by the ATSWednesday Challenge blog and see what the challenge design team has to show you too - WOW!! So get your supplies out and show us what you can do too - we would love to see your entry :)

 For my card I used Miss Rosalie with Roses, Be Happy Sentiment set and Sweet November Mushroom Set all from C. C. Designs. (told you the other day that I love this mushroom set!!)  The paper is Little Yellow Bicycle - Paradise line. I sat down the other night and colored her and did not write down what colors that I used from my copic box ... was just having fun!! I know I am looking forward to making more sidestep cards in the near future...maybe for Easter...... :)

ATS Review Day - "Hugs to You"

Okay here is another card from the very fun February release at All That Scraps with the fun C.C. Design stamps, and today we are highlighting the designs of Amy Young.  This cute little guy is 'Sweet November's shroom'. Don't you just love his mushroom top hat? The tall mushroom beside him and the sentimnet are from the Mushroom set ( I used the smaller mushroom on the inside) - these mushrooms are great for coloring and cutting out to put beside your images.I had so much fun using the mushroom border cutter and the acorns and leaves cutter to add accents to this card! I love that with the mushroom border cutter you can cut off pieces and then add it to your card in different spots as a great embellishment - see it under the image, in the lower right hand corner of the card front and again in the inside of the card :) As this card is for a boy I decided to distress the edges of the paper lots - a different look than neat and cute :) The paper I used is very old MME ...not even sure the line it was from.  The sentiment on the inside of the card is from the fun "Be Happy Sentiment" set also released in February.  Be sure to stop by the ATS blog and see what treats the other awesome DT ladies have for you today ..... and coming soon at the end of the month the previews for March ..... (so fun!!)

And yes here are the copic colors that I used for this one:
skin- E00, 21, 11, 51 (R21 for cheeks)
hat and pants - BG11, 32, 72 and YR31, Y21, 26
hair and shirt - E23, 25
eyes- BG000
BG0000 for sky around him and E40 for the shadows.

ATS Review Day - Be My Valentine

Today is our first review day at ATS to remind you of all the amazing stamps and cutters that came out at the first of February!! But also a chance for me to say Happy Valentine's Day to all you bloggers, thanks for the love you leave me with the sweet comments!! And also today I got to use the light tent that my wondeful man gave me for my birthday on the weekend - I love him and the light tent is great!!
Okay now for some details on the card... I used Woodland Lucy (so cute) and the Be Happy Sentiment set (so many great sentiments in that set) all from C.C. Designs at ATS (All That Scraps). I decided to really try and use the papers which are from the 6x6 pad from We R Memory Keepers called "Love Struck" for this card and had fun doing it...so it will be a sweet card for someone that I love!! The hearts were all cut with Spellbinder dies.
Have a Happy Valentine's Day!!!
