~ Second post for today~

Happy Mabelle Monday!

Today, I have a image from the last release called Gigi.  The designer paper is Simple Stories "Fabulous". The background is a patterned paper from the paper pad, I just added some stitching.

The sentiment is a rubber stamp from RRD Friendship Blocks.  It is stamped on a tag, there are several pages of tags in this paper pad, which makes a quick and easy card.

LMM: Park Glen Door Die

There is new release at Little Miss Muffet.  I have been SO excited about this one - Barbara has designed this fabulous die!  There are more dies in the works we are told.  Can't wait!  This is Park Glen Door Die.

I used all the pieces the die punches on this card.  There is the screen door frame, 3 hinges (that work), the door plate with keyhole, door handle and key.  This was SO fun to play with!

The designer paper is My Mind's Eye "Howdy Doody".  I cut the door opening in the patterned paper. I also cut a door out of Bazzill Walnut (Door frame) and Java (hardware).  

To add the screen (thanks Barbara!), I add some double sided tape to the back of the brown door, then laid it on the mesh screen material.  Then I could trim around the perimeter of the door.  This is a 5.5" square card.  The door is approx. 2-9/16 wide x 4.5" tall.  It would make a lovely window too.

I added a couple mini antique brads to make a door knob and hook for the key.  Last night, when I was lying bed I got to thinking it would be pretty easy to make the door latch and the handle work - hmm - next time.  The verse is from a TAC stamp set. 

One other thing - I used my Grand Calibur with this die (normal base and cutting plate) and it cut and embossed all at once.  Love that!

Challenges:
Catch a Bug - Anything Goes
Secret Crafter - Anything Goes
Great Impressions - Use a die cut or punch

LMM: Angels, Clouds or Rainbows

Happy Thursday!

There is a new challenge at Little Miss Muffet today!  The theme is Angels, Clouds or Rainbows.  I made the sweet Cocoa Sugar 'n Spice Doll an angel using the wings and cloud, angel accessories, that were new releases last Thursday.  

Cocoa makes a wonderful angel...she is a rubber stamp.  The wings and cloud are digis, so you are able to size them for any image - love that!

I used a brand new summer release paper from Simple Stories called "Summer Fresh".  I made this card for a friend of mine who I will see in June.  I'm very excited to see her.  I only see her once a year around her birthday so that is always fun.

RRD: Red, White and Blue

Happy Memorial Day!

This week at Red Rubber Designs the theme is Red, White and Blue.  This is "America I Love".  I love this image, perfect for Memorial Day or 4th of July, which will be here before we know it. 

The image was colored with Copic markers, then aged with Cognac and Burnt Umber inks around the edges. 

I create a flag to match the sails with 2 embossing folders, stars and stripes. I went over the blue stars with embossing ink to give more definition.  I used R46 Copic marker to go over the embossed stripes to create the red and white stripe.  I stitched with white thread around the perimeter and down the seam between the stars and stripes. I used a stipple brush and palette inks to knock down the white a bit.

Supplies--

Stamp Set: America I Love

Copic Colors: R46, R59, E00, E09, E11, E13, E21, E33, E35, E37, YG91, YG93, YG95, 9YG7, B91, B95, B99, W1, W3
