For A Lil Princess

Hi everyone! This is GiGi from The Cricut Bug and it's my day to post a Technique Tuesday at Stamp AnnieThing.

I have a tutorial to share of how I created the cloud background of my card using stencils and dies.

I started this project with a 4 X 5 1/4 inch card mat.
I used distress ink to stencil the background using the Falling Stars Stencil. I used just a corner to get a more spread out design.

 After the stars were stenciled, I watered down some ink and splattered it onto the background.
After it was dry, I ink blended the whole background with the same ink. This made it all pink and darkened up the stars and splatters that were already there.
Next I used the cloud die from the Land Of Oz Dies and cut out the mat in 4 pieces.

After I cut out the cloud pieces, I inked the top edges of each strip and glued them together onto a standard A2 card base.
I cut the stars from the Star Card Mat Die and glued them to the background and stamped the sentiment from the Giselle-For A Lil Princess stamp set.
To finish the card I cut out a circle die and frame, inking the framed layer using the same ink as the background.
I stamped Paige-Sugar and Spice into the center of the circle mat along with her crown that I hand cut.
I colored them with Copic Markers and glued the crown to the top of her head.
To finish, I glued the circle frame onto circle mat and added it to the card.

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

Once Upon a Time...

Happy Saturday, friends!

Laura here again this weekend, and as I mentioned last Saturday, I've had some fun coloring up Paige - Sugar and Spice a couple of different ways.

Here is my second creation with her...

I decorated the cover of a simple spiral notebook, and popped Paige up next to the sentiment. Added in a matching pen, and I've got a cute gift set for a creative kiddo to make their own storybook!
I'm having so much fun coming up with different designs for the same image!
You never know... I might just have one more up my sleeve, so keep an eye out! :)

Have a wonderful weekend!

Like a Fairytale

Happy Saturday stampers!

Laura here, and it's my turn to take over the Stamp Anniething Blog today!

I've got a clean and simple card for you today featuring the lovely Paige - Sugar and Spice. She has a pretty classic princess look, but I couldn't help coloring her up to resemble Cinderella...

 

I colored her with my Copic markers, and added a ton of sparkle to her dress using my Wink of Stella Glitter Pen... unfortunately it doesn't show much in the photo. 

This was such a fun image to color, and I've got a couple more versions of her in the works!

Stay tuned!!

Have a great weekend!

So here we go for December's Theme Week!

Make ANY project using GLITTER!

Hi everyone! This is GiGi from The Cricut Bug and I have a fun card to share. 

I used the Paige-Sugar and Spice stamp set for my Theme Week card.

I started this card with a standard A2 card base and created the background mat.

I used a piece of cardstock to mask off the snow and inked the sky, heat embossing a snow background using the Jaded Blossom Holiday Splatters.

I added stickles to the snow line and stamped the sentiment from the Love and Kindness stamp set.

I stamped Paige and half paper pieced/half colored her with Copic markers. I cut her out by hand and added her to the card on pop dots.

To finish, I created the banners at the top cut with the Flag Dies 2 and the snowflake from the Winter Dies.

I 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 you all liked my project for today and thanks for visiting!

Here is what I made for the August Challenge:

Ok, this month I went WAY out of the box.  For my inspiration, I used my favorite Disney Pixie.  Here's how I did it.  I started by using the face from the Stamp Anniething ~ James : Happy Birthday to You.  Then I added the body from the Stamp Anniething ~ Kelsey : Believe.  And finally, I added a little bun from the Stamp Anniething ~ Paige : Sugar & Spice.  And viola...Tinker Bell.  Hee!  For the rest of the card, I used the Jaded Blossom ~ Card Mat Dies for the background. The butterflies are from the Jaded Blossom ~ Spring Dies 2.  And the "believe" is from the My Creative Time ~ Holiday Tags.

Copic Sketch Colors

skin ~ E50, E51, E93

hair ~ E50, Y21, Y26

outfit ~ YG03, YG17, YG67

Well my creative friends, that's it for me today.  I hope you join our Challenge this month.  I can't wait to see what you all make.  Have a great day everyone!
