It's a Good Day

Good morning! What are you all up to this weekend?  I had to run the heat for a few minutes this morning to warm the house up a bit but I'm trying to only do that in mornings and leave it off the rest of the day. Gonna be a rough winter with oil prices as high as they are, that's for sure.  But I digress, you're not here for gloom and doom. LOL  So here - have a look at a tag I made for the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Monday - Tag It!

Cut it Up - More than One Die Cut

Critter Crazy #115 - AG with a Critter!

Pammie's Inky Pinkies - Anything Goes

Wednesday's Creative Inspiration - Anything Goes

I have been having fun using up scraps that I've hoarded saved over the years! For this one, I used a tag die to cut out the tag shaped and sponged the edges with more black ink. I then used one of the dies from the Decorative Sentiment Dies set from Emily Moore Designs to die cut the sentiment, and sponged that with more black ink as well. I stamped out the panda from Paperie Ink Stamps Crafty Friends set with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I spot-colored a bit of blue paint on his paint tray & brush and fussy cut him, then attached with foam tape. Peace. 

Sweet November Halloween Witches

 Happy Friday!

I'd like to share the card below with the following challenges today:

Shopping Our Stash #584 - Black Cats

Passion for Markers #858 - Orange

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - Use Patterned Paper

Wednesday's Creative Inspiration - Anything Goes

All About Papercraft #10 - All About Celebrations

I used papers from my stash (Doodlebug Designs), die cutting the stitched edge frame & black cat, and attaching a little "Happy Halloween" sentiment from my stash (I have a large plastic bin full of sentiments!) to the frame. My digi stamps are from the Sweet November Stamps Moon Dance Witchwee line, this is Hester, Sabrina, and Tabitha. I colored them with Copics and roughed up the edges of the panel before sponging with black ink. Added some rhinestone stickers in coordinating colors to finish it off. Peace.

I'd Pause My Game for You!

 Good morning! Well October is flying by like it always does and I just realized I have yet to share any stencil projects from the October release at:

This one is called Mid Century Chairs - don't forget you can always use code JennFan10 for 10% off your entire purchase!

I started with a previously made background I had made using the reverse stencil technique with the Falling Dots stencil - that one totally reminds me of video games! I then applied Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink through the Mid Century Chairs stencil directly on the background, then stamped the sentiment with the same ink. I embossed those with a clear sparkly embossing powder. I stamped out the boy from an older rubber stamp set at CC Designs, embossed with clear embossing powder, colored with Copics, fussy cut, and attached with foam tape.

I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:

All Dressed Up New Release - Bow Dress

Good morning!  We have a new release today at

The digi I used is called Bow Dress:

I kept this very simple because I wanted the focus on the beautiful girl - I printed her out rather large and then used a stitched edge oval nesting die to cut her out cropped. I colored her with Copics and used some very old papers from my stash, manufacturer is Authentique. I added some pink rhinestone stickers and a snarky sticker sentiment from a Tim Holtz book.

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - Anything Goes

Simon Says Stamp Monday - Tag It!

Alphabet Challenge - L is for Little People (kids)

Creative Knockouts - Sparkle & Shine

Crafty Catz - Anything Goes

I had this scrap background from a card I had made, but it was too pretty to toss!  That beautiful star pattern in the background is from the Star Dots stencil at A Colorful Life Designs. So I die cut it with a luggage tag die from Simon Says Stamp. The background was made with a mixed media format using an emboss resist technique, texture paste with embossing through a stencil, and lots of inks and sprays. The sentiment was stamped/embossed and die cut with one of the dies from the Decorative Sentiment Die set from Emily Moore Designs. I stamped out the girl from the Unicorns and Glitter set from My Favorite Things with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I colored her with Copics and Stickles, fussy cut, and attached her with foam tape. Peace.

Hey, pumpkin!

 Good morning friends. I'd like to enter my card below into the following challenges today:

Tic Tac Toe #302 (I used pumpkins, dry AND wet embossing, and orange)

I made a mini slimline card using a spiderweb embossing folder on watercolor paper, then lightly sponged Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink all over it, going heavier on the edges. I stamped the cute little dragon with pumpkin (Happy Hauntings from Simon Says Stamp) with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder (sentiment done same way), then colored with Copics. I fussy cut and attached with foam tape, then added some little gemstone stickers for sparkle. Peace.

Think Pink!

My papers & ticket sentiment are from Unity Stamp Co. I stamped the witch from the HP set at CC Designs with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I colored her with Copics and fussy cut her, then attached with foam tape. I used a coffin nesting die, a spiderweb & spider die, and a bat die.
