We would love for you to participate with us in our THEME WEEK and it's quite easy to do so!  Simply create a project using ANY Stamp Anniething product (as your main focal point) in the set "theme" for this month. Post your project to the corresponding album over at our Face Book Group page (Stamp Anniething Stampers)!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

So here we go for December's Theme Week!

Make ANY project that is inspired by GLITTER!

Hi there! Happy New Year!!! It's Katya Bess from Kattyxotica's Kreations. This is my last DT card at Stamp AnnieThing, it's a little sad but happy I had a chance to be here. I will still stalk everyone on Facebook or the blogs as usual... heehee maybe Anne will let me be a Guest DT sometime... Thank you Anne for giving a chance to color up your cute little images and being part of a nice DT. The DT gals are all so talented and always very inspiring.

So, for my inspiration card I used glitter pens. 

I colored Anne- Happy New Year separately with

Copic markers and used W3 and W5 to make light

shading on her headband and the blouse because

I wanted it to look silvery/glittery/white so

for that I used the remained of my Wink of Stella

and then went over with my Clear Star Gellyroll.

The Clear Star Gellyroll is my most favorite glitter pen. 

For the background I used Distress Ink

and then drew some fireworks and topped that

with my handy dandy Clear Star Gellyroll. 

The person I intend to give this card came to visit

for Christmas and went back to Florida

so that is how I imagine New Years to be like...

no jacket and probably a short dress, skirt or shorts. haha

Here is a close-up of my coloring.

Here is another close-up but with the lights dimmed... 

it really shows off the glitter but the coloring looks darker 

so I wanted to show you both.

I hope you enjoyed the card. 

I really hope you have an awesome 2017.

Good luck to the current DT and 

and good luck to the new DT.

Thank you for visiting.

For someone sweet and deer

Hello Everyone!

Katya Bess, here I hope all is well. I've been working on some Christmas coloring and decided to share this card I made with Lucille - What a Deer, she is one of my favorite Chibi Kids to color from Stamp AnnieThing. On one of my previous posts I decided to color her as a red head with cute little freckles and this time I'm coloring her as an African-American with sort of medium tone.

Lucille - What a Deer

I used Copic markers

the colors are

B34, E11, E37, E34, R22, R30

R27, R29, R46

E42, R43, E84, E33

N2, N4, N6 and N8

The papers are from DoodleBug Design: Sugarplums line

the dies are from 

My Creative Time

CC Designs

and Craftin Desert Divas

The sentiment is from 

Brooke- For Someone Sweet

and the DEC. 25th I fussy cut from 

the DoodleBug Design: Sugarplums 6x6 paper pad. 

Here are some close-ups.

I hope you like it.

Thank you so much 

for stopping by.

Latte Birthday Wishes

Hello Everyone!

This isKatya Bess from KattyXotica's Kreations, I'm latte! I'm latte! I'm latte for a very important date.... LOL  Today I have a coffee themed birthday card for you... it's a little belated birthday card. I'm thinking I need to make more of these (when I get time) with different skin tones and different hair colors and just have them ready for when I forget a birthday or just cause I'm busy. ha! I found this coffee themed 12x12 paper at Michael's and I had a few coffee cards for friends and teachers in mind but I love how clean and simple this one looks.

I colored her up with Copic markers

some of the colors I used are:

BV000, E55, E53, E51, E50 E21, R21, R20 and R30

for the clothing G07, G46 and G94 also N6, N4 and N2

The dotted circle die is from My Creative Time 

as well at the new sentiment.  To make the black outer layer 

I just traced around the die and cut with scissors.

the design coffee paper is from Recollections (found at Michaels)

and the base cardstock are from Michael's as well only the black

cardstock is the 110 lb paper I love to use for bases and the

white is 65 lb I like to use for simple layering. 

I was going to go for an otter bounds image and circle so I had cut out the face

and the latte/coffee but the head ended fitting inside the circle because

I didn't align it right LOL    so the only thing that is outer bounds is the 

latte/coffee but it ends out working out because the person receiving it doesn't

wear skirts or dresses and now it just looks like a trench coat which she does wear

sometimes. LOL   

Anyway, I hope you liked my card.

Have a wonderful day.

Holly - To a Very Important Patient

Good morning Crafty Peeps!


Today I made a 6x6 card using Holly - Cheer Up, she's a super cute little nurse. Actually, you can leave out her nurse hat and just color her as a little girl holding a Teddy Bear but this time I actually stamped and masked the hat so she can be a little nurse. The message "To a V.I.P... Very Important Patient" I just hand-wrote with my Sakura Pigma Sensei black pen.

The Markers I used are Copic.

The Teddy Bear was colored with E50, E51, E35 and E55

The clothing was N4, N2, N0. R46 and R35

All of the background paper is from Recollections 

and the paper I used to color is from Crafter's Companion.

Here is a close up of Holly - Cheer Up

I hope you like her. 

Thank you for looking. 

Katya Bess

Savannah - Wild Wild West

Hi there!

Today I'm sharing a card I made with Savannah - Howdy Partner and a Magnolia background stamp called Golden Creek.

 I colored her with Copic markers except for one Spectrum Noir marker (TB1 for the sky)

For the hat, lasso and booths I used E51, E34 and E35

for the scarf R27, R35 and R46

for the jean outfit B91, B93, B95 and B45

I wanted to create a simple card to be used for any occasion so I left the 

sentiment out for now. 

The die is from My Creative Time

and the background paper is from Kaiser Kraft: Summer Breeze

Here is a close-up of the image.

Thank you for checking out my blog.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Hello Crafty Friends! Katya here from Kattyxotica's Kreations
for this  themed card I pieced three different stamps to make Harley Quinn
 Trudy- Birdcage,  Chloe - Stay Cool and Jemma - Happy Easter
I watched Suicide Squad and and I kept listening to some of the songs
even other songs that are related but not on the Soundtrack that
are most likely something Harley Quinn would sing or relating to her
character. I knew some some songs and some were new
but I guess I got a little bit crazy with it. hahaha

I used Trudy- Birdcage's head and hair,
 Chloe - Stay Cool for her shorts and legs and then I used 
Jemma - Happy Easter for her little jacket.
I had so much creating this card.
The background is a Tim Holtz embossing folder
and I distressed it and doodled a little.
The Smile die is from The Greeting Farm

It was so much fun creating this card. 

Hope you will play along with us in our Monthly Theme Week! You can see and post all your projects in our Facebook Group HERE

I hope liked my project for today and thanks for visiting!
Have a great day!

Katya Bess 

Do you believe in fairies?

Good morning Crafty peeps!

Katya Bess, here and I have a fairy card for you all today.
I used Kelsey - Believe from Stamp AnnieThing.

So I wanted to create a simple background scene for my fairy. I only used Copic markers except for a few details such as the eye lights, on the powder of the mushroom and on baby's breath of her flower crown-- for that I used a white Uni-ball Signo Angelic White pen and for the eyelashes and iris

I use a Copic Multiliner - black. 

Kelsey - Believe

Purples used: BV0000, BV000, BV02, BV31 and V0000

Yellows: Y02, Y11 and Y21, Y26, Y35 

Earth/Browns: E0000, E000, E01, E21, E25, E26, 

E31, E33, E34, E35, E55, E84, E87

Greens: G94, YG63, YG95 

I was going to make the eyes green and realized the last

time I colored this stamp I colored her as a blonde

with green eyes... so I colored purple

but as I was finishing I was thinking I should of stayed

coloring them green or maybe even purple.

I tried to cover up the blue with a hight purple but you can't even tell. 

Oh well maybe next time. I guess I have Tinkerbell on the mind 

haha. 

Here is a close up and you can really see

the "powder" effect with the white pen on the 

mushroom and I love how the baby's breath looks on

her flower crown to clean up and finish up 

uncolored areas.

I hope you liked the card. 

Have a fantastic day!

Hello Kitty Birthday with Megan

Hello Crafty Friends,

Katya Bess here from Kattyxotica's Kreations. I have a birthday card for you using Megan Glasses.  

I had great feedback when I made another birthday card with Megan - Cupcake 

because I colored her hair with braids. Takes a while to create the braids

but so worth when you're done.

So here I used Megan Glasses

I colored her with Copic markers.

I used:

skin: E11, B34, E37, E34, R22 and R30

hair: W9 and W5

Reds: R24 and R46

Blues: B21, B45 and B97

boots: W9, W7, W5 and W3

leggings: N0 and N2

The background paper is called Hello Kitty Ribbons

and it was a 12x12 sheet I got from Michael's open stock papers.

I fussy cut a Hello Kitty Head from the same paper 

and popped it up so it can look like a balloon.

The yellow dotted paper is from Echo Park and it's called

 Birthday Wishes

the small HB2U and balloon string dies 

are from CC Designs.

Here is a close up.

I hope you liked it.

Thank you for stopping by.

Roarin Fun with Katya Bess

Hi there! Katya here from KattyXotica's Creations.

I made this card using one of the newest stamps from Stamp AnnieThing called

 Lucille - Roaring Fun. 

I colored her with Copic markers

and with the intention of looking like Tiana from 

The Princess and the Frog.

The skin colors are: B24, E11, E35, E23, R22 and R30.

For the Hair I used C9, C7 and C5...  I used that C9

so much that it was too sticky... good thing I have replacement nibs

and a refill because the alcohol did not help with bad it colored.

Oh yeah and the dress I used YG00, YG05, YG06 and YG07 (YG07 

always gives me big blobs of ink :[ I'm going to to have to stop being a cheap-o

and just change that nib too)

My desk is so cluttered that I keep trying new colors out because I can't

find my other markers... well I like trying new colors but part of it

is because my desk is so messy. LOL Creative Explosion happens I guess....

The paper is from Die Cuts With a View and it's called The Magnolia Way

and I thought it was perfect to go with "Tiana." 

The dies are from Craftin' Desert Divas and 

from My Creative Time. I fussy cut the image and used C9 all around to get rid of 

the white showing from the edges of the paper and then

added a little bit of Wink of Stella to her hair band and dress band

when it was glued down. The I decided to use the sentiment

that comes with this stamp that says: Roarin' Fun

but I accidentally used my Memento Black ink

and realized this will not work with that paper so before it smeared

I tried to rescue it with embossing and then realized that it was frantage

as I embossed it. LOL    It looks nicer in person but I may die

cut a little piece of paper and just glue on top... not sure yet.  teeheehee.

So the last card I made with this stamp I kept thinking of

Charlotte La Bouff aka Lottie which is Tiana's best friend...

you can see it here with the August 2016 release and I also 

colored Paige as Princess Tiana over here with the February 2016 release.

I have so much fun coloring the Chibi Kids as popular characters

especially when I make cards for my kids, teachers, family and friends.

That's about it for this card.

I hope you got a chance to buy and play with a 

few of these cuties. 

Have a great day.

July Theme Week ~ Day 6 with Katya

It's time for another Theme Week!

Time for a smile.. its all about RAINBOWS... Simply use rainbow colors and themes!

We would love for you to participate with us in our THEME WEEK and it's quite easy to do so!  Simply create a project using ANY Stamp Anniething product (as your main focal point) in the set "theme" for that month. Post your project to the corresponding album over at our Face Book Group page (Stamp Anniething Stampers)! You may enter as many projects as you wish, but you will only be counted as ONE entry person.  A minimum of 5 people (not including DT Members) is needed in order for a prize to be given.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

So here we go for July'sTheme Week!

Make ANY project using rainbows (papers, colors,, patterns, etc!)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Katya Bess here from KattyXotica's Kreations and I'm here to show you my rainbow card.

I had a blast coloring this image. I did ask for permission from the owner Annie to alter the bangs and

the clothes.... just an F.Y.I. Keep in mind that the owner has the right to say no.... This time Annie was okay with it and I had so much fun coloring her like Rainbow Brite. Did you gals or guys

have any of Rainbow Brite dolls or toys? The Color Kids or maybe even a Sprite?

I only had a Rainbow Brite and I remember she had yard hair.... to be honest that is all I remember of of the doll of yeah and she had a purple star on her cheek. I did watch the cartoons in Spanish growin up but and I found some of the English videos on YouTube and I watch with my youngest daughter

when trying to soothe her and distract her from her severe Eczema itching.

I used Memento Desert Sand ink dye pad to be able to do the "no-lines-coloring" technique

and to be able to alter the bangs and clothes without any masking but if you look 

closely you can sort of see the original lines.

Of course I used Copic markers, Copic multi-liner and a Uni-ball Signo White Broad

(I love Sakura but I wish the white pen was a little more opaque

because I so much prefer how it looks in the end)

For the image I used 

Trudy- Happy Day!

This is how Trudy - Happy Day! looks before the no-lines-coloring technique.

Copic makers I used

E0000, E000, E01, E04, E21, R21 and R30

E33, E35, Y35, Y08 and Y26

V06, R24, B24, G05, YR04 and Y08

(sorry forgot the blues in her eyes) 

the colors look a little brighter in person the blues in her clothing look a little too dark here.

Here you can see here up close.

Here you can see the shimmer on the stars. 

The sentiment I use hand-wrote myself

(I was a bit lazy to see if I even had a color themed stamp. LOL)

and I just colored the rainbow background in carefully

and I only gave it two passes since I was scared they would

bleed into each other. The little stars from from some

My Creative Time dies as well as the rectangle to cut out the layer.

The for the stars I chose colors from the rainbow that I colored then I 

added Wink of Stella clear and letting them dry before I glued them 

on to the card. 

I hope you all really liked all of the cards for the theme week,

rainbows are one of my favorite things to see and color. 

I also hope that you get a chance to work on some rainbow themed cards

using Stamp AnnieThing stamps. 

Thank you for stopping by.

Have a colorful day!

Back to School with James

Hello Crafty Friends!

Katya Bess, today I am showing you a card with sort of a school theme. I used the fun papers from Doodlebug Design called: Back to School. The stamp I used is James - Happy Birthday to You. This stamp comes with a sentiment but I did not use it this time. 

James - Happy Birthday to You

 I colored him with Copic markers, 

the eyelights were done with a Uni-ball Signo White pen

and the card sketch is very simple to recreate.

I hope you liked the card.

Thank you for visiting.

Have a nice day. 

Katya Bess

Cupcake Time

Hello Crafty Friends!

It's Katya Bess from http://kattyxotica.blogspot.com and I have a little card to show you with 

Megan - Hey Cupcake.

I always like to play around with different skin tones but I also like to 

try out different hairstyles. With Megan I wanted to try and give her some 

braids. I have tried doing braids on another stamp Megan (Winter Wishes) before but with 

Prismacolor pencils and you can see my process here. 

I think it was a little easier for me to do it with markers

but I also tried a slightly different technique that was a little faster too.

I think in the future I will have to show you my braid process with 

the markers but probably when the kids are in school.... 

like I stated above I colored Megan - Hey Cupcake

with Copic markers.

W5 and W7

E11, B34, E37, E34, R22 and R30

E50, (I forgot which yellow I used for the frosting)

but the barrette, the collar, sprinkles

 and the cherry were done in RV29

The uniform was paper pieced

and all of the design paper was all from 

Echo Park: Birthday Wishes

The card base was with Recollections

Oh yea and I added Wink of Stella

Clear that I finally opened up to add some

shiny sugar to the yellow frosting. :P 

I Hope you liked my card.

Thank you so much for stopping by

Have a great weekend.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

So here we go for June'sTheme Week!

Make ANY project using stars and stripes!!!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Here is what I made for the June Challenge:

When stars and stripes were mentioned of course all I could think of

was of Fourth of July or an American theme.

My stars and stripes are subtle but you can clearly see where they are. 

For this card I used

Chloe and Sam - Love You

First stamped the image

then I stamped it on a piece of masking paper

so I could use distress ink all over and not 

"ruin" the image I intend to color. 

After getting all inky with the distress inks:

Mermaid Lagoon (a tiny bit around Chloe and Sam)

Black Soot (which covers most of the background)

and Mowed Lawn (for a grassy area)

Then I drew up some fireworks

with my Uniball white pen and my Prismacolor Pencils

Here is a close up of the Copic coloring, a tad bit of the background

and you can even see some of the firework colors reflecting 

on their shiny hair.

 Here is a tad bit of the process

before I started coloring the image

and check out those coupons and spicy wings

LOL  I just use junk mail to protect my table from the ink.

I hope you liked my card. 

Make sure to join us on the Facebook page with 

a project with the theme above. 

Thank you for stopping by.

For a few more details you can stop by my blog

Have a great weekend to everyone

and Happy 4th of July to those that celebrate :)

So Kitten Smitten with Brittney

   Hello!

Katya Bess here from Kattyxotica's Kreations I'm here to show you my latest card using 

Brittney - Purr.

Here I set here up on a cute little cat friendly house on a flowery hill. LOL   

I got this from a Doodlebug Kitten Smitten 12x12 paper I got a while back... I cropped it down with

a die and then famed it. The background paper is from the same line from 

Doodlebug Kitten Smitten. This paper line is way too cute and it pairs up 

nicely with  Brittney and her kitten.

I used Copic markers to color the stamp.

Here are all of the colors I used:

E0000, E000, E01, E21, BV31, R20, R30 

Y21, Y23, Y26, Y28

YR27, YR24, YR20, YR14

RV14, RV17 and RV19

I love cats so this card was so much fun for me to color. 

I hope you all grab her from the store

and have fun coloring as much as I did. 

Thank you for stopping by to take a look

Enjoy the rest of the weekend
