Tickled Lil Spinks and Spooks Preview

Day 5 - Lil Haunt Mummie Christina

Welcome to day 5 of this new line!  I made my sign using the Silhouette and same with my cobweb covered tree, added some little green bats and finished off with my labeler to do the sentiment.

I wanted to try to go for more coloring depth on Christina's mummie wraps but it seems it didn't come through on my picture.  But that's ok you should see the other gals coloring on Tickled Pink Stamps blog. WOW!!  After seeing their cards they've even inspired me!
These images will be available for purchase in just 3 more days.  Visit Tickled Pink Stamps to see how you can win!!

MDUC #108 - Kathrin's Sketch

Welcome to another MDUC challenge!!  I just made it by the hair on my chin.....only a few minutes left before this is to post.  I boo boo'ed and created the wrong challenge so was frantically throwing paper, flowers, paint and glue dots around this morning but thank goodness for pre-colored images.  LOL!!  Finding it was a challenge tho.  Good grief!  

So!!  This week we are creating a project using Kathrin's sketch (below) and I just loved it!!  I used a Maya snowflake chipboard, painted it blue, then painted the tips white, covered it with Crackle Accents, went over the tips with navy blue and VOILA.  Fun snowflake!!  Doesn't Edwin look so cute tripping over these lights?  Hubby would just throw them down, step on them and leave.  LMBO!


For more inspiration go to the MDUC challenge blog and I can tell you there's some gorgeous stuff created with this sketch!! 


I'm entering my card into these challenges:

Christmas Cards All Year Round - You get to pick at least 4 themes from the word "Christmas" they have displayed on their blog.  So I chose C - chipboard, R - ribbon, I - inking (hard to see but inked blue around the Edwin frame), S - stamping and M - metal embellishments. 

Simon Says Stamp Challenge - Christmas in August

Papertake Tuesday - Anything goes with the option of metal embellishments.  So I did.  :)

Enjoy your weekend everyone!!

Day 1 - Zombie Kellita

Are you ready for Halloween yet?  Ok...maybe not me either BUT I did love making this card with the new Zombie Kellita from Tickled Pink Stamps.  Isn't she creepy?  And there is a whole new set of Halloween sentiments to pair up to these great images!

Can you see my bats coming out of the paper??  Maybe if you make it bigger you could see the detail better.  Love that Martha Stewart fence - one of my personal fav's.


Sentiment "Time for a coffin break" - ha ha ha!!  So I just HAD to make the coffin and as you can see there are some yummy candies inside. 


Hope you enjoyed my project!!  There are previews for the next 8 days so stay tuned!  We're combining new Pinkettes with Lil Lolita's.  Some serious cuteness coming up! 

Take a look a more ways to use the new Zombie Kellita....available soon!

3D or Papertole

Today's post is super long and full of pictures but I'm sure you'll feel quite satisfied when you're done.  LOL!!  At Magnolia Down Under we want to see your 3D or papertole projects.  I didn't go crazy with this challenge and only added 2 butterflies that are 3D on to my tent card.


Here's a side view of my butterflies:


Part of the reason I took it easy on my challenge card was because I really wanted to showcase these gorgeous papers from Denise, a fellow MDUC member, who makes them herself!  These lovely papers are called The Couture Collection and can be found at Meg's Garden under a tab at the top called "What's New & Exciting".



Aren't they pretty?!  In real life they have a really pretty sheen to them.

Here are some more cards from fellow MDUC members who have used the papers.  Aren't they just gorgeous?  That outta feed your eyes for awhile.  LOL!!  If you click on each of the girl's names, it'll take you to the post showcasing the card with details.  



Please visit Denise's Passion for Papers to view more samples from the very creative paper maker herself!
