I am participating in the GUESS WHO game today which you can play along with on the SIMPLY B STAMPS blog – go over there to leave your guesses.  What you will be doing is trying to guess if I made the card below and if not, who did.  Sounds fun, doesn't it!!  Good luck:)

My card today features Betty Dorm Mouse image from SIMPLY B STAMPS and the tea kettle, cup, plate and one of the tables from LITTLE MISS MUFFET STAMPS.

I have merged my images using Gimp and then colored with my Copics.  I used the same image of Betty Dorm Mouse for my tutorial yesterday, so I decided to go with a funkier color scheme this time around, I hope you like her!  I cut my sentiment from SIMPLY B STAMPS with Nestie and daubed edges.  Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and lace and papers from my stash.  Sure hope you like it!!  Do you think this is my creation or someone else's?!?  Go over to SIMPLY B STAMPS blog and make your guess!!

LITTLE MISS MUFFET/SIMPLY B STAMPS NEW RELEASE DAY 2–FAUX TILE TUTORIAL

It’s day 2 of the combined release from Simply B Stamps (SBS) and Little Miss Muffet Stamps (LMMS)!  Check out all the NEW RELEASES at the SBS New Items and LMMS What's New sections of the stores!   If you haven’t done the hop from yesterday, scroll down or click my hop link above to go hopping along with us.

Today we have some tutorials as well as more inspiration to share, and of course, MORE PRIZES!!
Remember to check both SIMPLY B STAMPS (SBS) and LITTLE MISS MUFFET (LMMS) for their lists of prizes! Today, LMMS has two rubber stamps to go to two lucky winners!  In order to have a chance at winning, please leave a comment on today’s post at LITTLE MISS MUFFET.   The lucky winners will receive this image below... la Jeune Fille à l'Eventail in a Rubber Stamp!

And don’t forget that with every LMMS purchase throughout the New Release, you will receive this exclusive digi stamp for free ... Piccino Mermaid! This fresh new image is even new to the DT members so it's like having your very own exclusive VIP membership. :D

Today I am sharing my Faux Tile Tutorial with you.  I am using Betty Dorm Mouse digi from SIMPLY B STAMPS and 1 of the chairs plus one of the Tea Party Friends images from LITTLE MISS MUFFET STAMPS.  I have flipped the Betty Dorm Mouse Digi and added the Tea Party Friend Elephant to the Tea Party Chair that I chose from this set.  I colored everything with Copics and used papers from Core-dinations and DP from Fabi-Scraps.  This tea cup/tea pot paper was just perfect for the New Release!  I added stitched ribbon from PaperMart as well.

Now for my tutorial, the end goal is to make the image look like tile that has been pieced together.  So, first make sure your image is cut so that you can easily figure out what size your smaller squares will be.  Also helps to have your base mat cut before you begin - mine is 1/4 inch larger than the image piece.  You will then cut up your image making your squares as close to equal measurements as possible.

Now your squares are cut, you will apply glossy glue to each one.

 Try to get the glue evenly spread on the entire square and if possible, try to get all air bubbles out.

 Once you have all the squares covered, wait for the glue to dry - the drier the better before you move it to prevent excessive cracking.

Once the glue is dry, time to stick all the pieces onto your mat piece

And finally, onto your card and Voila - you have made Faux Tile!!

Sure hope you like it and that I have taught you something useful.  Let me know what you think:)  Hugs and enjoy all the other tutorials!!

Additional Challenges:


SARAH HURLEY CHALLENGES – projects with character
SANDY’S CRAFTY CREATIONS – anything goes with stitching (there's stitching on the ribbon)

WE HAVE NEW RELEASES AT DIGITAL DELIGHTS!!

Before I present my NEW RELEASE creation from DIGITAL DELIGHTS SHOP this week, I want to apologize for not being around much this week.  While I was away last Weds. – Fri., I came down with some sort of illness – sinus issues, fever, aches, scratchy throat.  I did finally start feeling better later on Sunday, but then at some point Monday – either during the evening or while sleeping – I scratched my cornea in my left eye and I have been in pain ever since – ugh!  Being on the computer has been really difficult.  My eye is still painful…

Anyway, it is THURSDAY and we have a NEW RELEASE today for you at DIGITAL DELIGHTS BLOG/DIGITAL DELIGHTS SHOP and I am so excited to share my creation with you.  I hope you will stop by the DIGITAL DELIGHTS BLOG and see all the amazing DT gals’ creations. If you have time, I’m sure they’d love a visit to their individual blogs.

Also, a NEW CHALLENGE starts today at DELIGHTGUL CHALLENGES, so I hope you will check that out and play along!!

My card today features DIGITAL DELIGHTS SHOP New Releases “Tommy Trumpeter” paired with paper from the Notable Music Digi papers (top DP) and sentiment from the Groove on Sentiments set.  Other DP is from Bella Blvd.  I have used Nesties for all shape cuts, image colored with Copics.  Buttons are from Basic Grey and ribbon from my stash.  Sentiment daubed with Memento ink.  Hope you like it

Additional Challenges:
STARS AND STAMPS – sketch
DIVAS BY DESIGN – spring colors
A & T EMERALD FAERIES  - 1 image, 2 DP, 3 embellies

GREEN, YELLOW PLUS 1 OTHER COLOR CHALLENGE AT CRAFTY SENTIMENTS

Ack, kids are back to school after being off for a week and yesterday was much more eventful and frustrating than I was hoping – really wish it had all been an April Fool’s joke gone awry, but no such luck!

Enough of that though, we have our NEW CHALLENGE at CRAFTY SENTIMENTS starting today and it is a COLOR CHALLENGE – YELLOW, GREEN PLUS YOUR CHOICE!   I love yellow and green together and they look even better with one other color – I chose purple for mine and I just love this combo.
 
Our winner's prize this time is a 10 voucher to  CRAFTY SENTIMENTS DESIGNS – what a fabulous prize!

 

Remember, you can use any products you like on your challenge submissions, but if you use a stamp or digi image from CRAFTY SENTIMENTS DESIGNS your entry will be counted 3X for purposes of our random.org winner's draw!! Make sure you put a “3” after your name. Also, this week we have a special for you – you can request a FREE digi to use in this week’s challenge by e-mailing Scattyjan_814@msn.com!  If you request the image, please be respectful and use it for the challenge, thanks!   You have until Monday, April 8 at 9pm GMT to join in the fun.

Finally, before I present my creation, I want to tell you that CRAFTY SENTIMENTS DESIGNS FACEBOOK PAGE is a fun place to visit and we have prizes, challenges and contests sometimes over there, so hope you will pay a visit there.

For my creation today, I have used CRAFTY SENTIMENTS DESIGNS rubber stamp Spring Breeze.  This stamp is so gorgeous and I love how she turned out after being colored with Copics.  I have been experimenting with different papers for my coloring and I have to say, I am very impressed with the Neenah solar white, which is what I used here.  Do you notice a difference in the brightness?!?  I cut her out with scissors then added papers from Bazzill and DP from SU.  Rumple ribbon is from Lovebug Creations and button from SU.  Sentiment is from Denami Designs and I colored flower with Copics, cut with Sizzix die and added My Mind’s Eye bling.  Sure hope you like it and will come play along!!

INSPIRATION WITH INKY IMPRESSIONS

Happy Monday everyone!  Today I am sharing a card I made using LiLi's First Day of School rubber stamp.  I have colored this sweet image with Copics and cut out with Taylored Expressions dies.  I added My Mind's Eye DP and American Crafts cardstock.  Sentiment is from There She Goes clear stamp and cut out with die from my stash (sorry, don't remember where it's from).

I then added a strip of embossed vellum, on which I used a Sizzix folder.  I love the way vellum looks when it is embossed - it adds a fun, different look and dimension to your creations.  Another fun tidbit about my card today is that the charm and the twine I used are also both from Inky Impressions!!  That is one of the reasons why I love Inky Impressions - not only can you get great rubber stamps and digi images, but Inky Impressions also stocks sentiment stamps and digis, twine, a fabulous selection of charms, ribbons, pearls, gems, brads and Inky dinky drops.  If you haven't been to visit the shop (or even if you have), you can find it HERE and you can see everything Inky has to offer!!

Hope you have enjoyed my little inspiration for the day and see you soon!!
