Annabelle Stamps - Monster Birthday

Hi guys! Still puttering along, with all my cards, the store is looking nice and full, and don't forget, that for this week only, you can get 20% off your order, with the coupon code BlogLove 

Now, on to a card -

I started off by going through ALL my stamps and sorting them out, I need to do this more frequently, I think, as I always seem to use the same kind of stamps, with every card! I had forgotten all about this little monster, from Annabelle Stamps! I inked the little guy up, and coloured him using my spectrum noir markers. Once I was happy with him, I fussy cut him out, and set him aside. I went with a very simple design for this card, I used patterned paper from Echo Park, and stamped the sentiment in the opposite corner to the monster. I finished off the card with my typical doodling, and a trio of rhinestones...

Here is the close up

Annabelle Stamps - Tomorrows Dream; Get Well Card

Hi guys! Sorry for the lengthy delay in blog posts!
I've had my operation, and I'm recovering well. Just a brand new learning experience. 

I crafted last night, after returning home (from my parents house). I had a whole bunch of new stuff arrive while I was away, including a parcel from Annabelle Stamps, from my challenge win there recently! I chose to get another one of their addictive stamp sets, and ended up with this one in my cart... So, I inked her up for the Annabelle Stamps most recent challenge - Licorice and White

Here is my card -

I stamped and coloured the image, using the Ice Grey colours from my Spectrum Noir Makrers, and then fussy cut the chicky out. I embossed two pieces of white card stock, using a new addition (to my craft stash) the cloud embossing folder, from Stampin' Up! and mounted them on to black card. All my borders were doodled before embossing. Before adhering the layers together, I added a strip of black satin ribbon between them. I then added a diamond shape and my sentiment, which is from MFT. I finished it all off with three black rhinestones. 

Here is the close up

I used the sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches and the Annabelle Stamps Licorice and White challenge for inspiration 

My MadeIt store is back open as well, so, pop on in and take a look :)

Annabelle Stamps - Lil Bee Mothers Day Card

Hi guys! I'm back again today, to share a Mothers Day Card I made up the other day!

I stamped the Lil Bee (from Annabelle Stamps) and coloured it up using my Spectrum Noir Markers. I have had this little guy a while, and he was sitting un-inked in my stash until I used him on this card! Once I'd coloured him, I fussy cut him out, and popped him to the side. I stamped "Mum" and coloured it using my Spectrums again, and then drew a border around it. The background is Pretty in Pink (SU!) and I've run it through the Big Shot with the woodgrain embossing folder and layered it all up. I finished up with a trio of rhinestones. 

I am entering this into two challenges, the first is the Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger, and the Annabelle Stamps sketch challenge -

I am uploading this one to my store soon, but remember, it's going into "holiday mode" this weekend, so pop in quickly! I also wanted to share that this card was featured on the MadeIt weekly picks this week!

Annabelle Stamps - Daisies - Thinking of You

Hiya! 

I was warned when I created this card that, I'd become addicted to Annabelle Stamps... So, it was no surprise that I had to buy a couple more...  I ended up with this one, as well as an adorable little bee (which I'll share once I get him inky)
Here is my card -

I started by stamping a Crumbcake card base with the Stampin' Up! background stamp - En Francais, then I stamped the largest, and smallest daisies on to some X-press it Blender card and coloured them up using my Spectrum Noirs. The square has been covered in some lovely washi tape, from The Stamp Spot, and the sentiment is from The Alley Way Stamps. I stamped another little daisy, and leaf, coloured them, and fussy cut them to pop next to the sentiment. Everything got a liberal serving of my doodled borders as well... hehe

 Here is the close up -

I am entering this into three challenges, the first is the sketch from Mojo Monday, the washi tape challenge at Moxie Fab and the anything goes challenge at Simon Says Stamp

Thanks for dropping around! My Madeit Store got a massive update over the weekend, including a BUNCH of new stock, so pop by for a look!

Annabelle Stamps - Lil Monster 's Balloon

Hello! I got happy mail yesterday, so had to crack out a new stamp and play!

I got my first ever Annabelle Stamp! I must say, I think I'll be getting more! (shh, don't tell!) 

I coloured up this little monster using my Spectrum Noir Markers, and because I'd stamped him too close to the edge, fussy cut him out. What is cool though, is there is a matching die! (I don't mind fussy cutting though!) His shirt was paper pieced, and shaded. I then stamped him a second time, on the circle die cut, and pop dotted him. The background paper is from Kaisercraft. The sentiment comes with the Lil Monster stamp set, I then added some cool wooden arrows Michelle from The Stamp Spot sent me, which I coloured up to match the Monster. I added stickles to add some pop and some rhinestones to finish off this card. 

Here is a close up

I am entering this into two challenges - the first is the Annabelle Stamps colour challenge - One I wouldn't have come up with, by myself (ewww, purple :-P), and the sketch from Sweet Sunday Sketch, a great CAS design!
