Rock On Honey!!..Motivet DT

This Super Cute stamp is from Motivet's newest release!....this is Morris playing guitar and you can find him right here. Be sure to visit the Motivet Inspiration Blog to see all the Gorgeous cards and projects the DT has been making....and find out how to win some of these Cute and Fabulous stamps!

I have to tell ya'.....My hubby took a big liking to this stamp as soon as he saw it. And he is a fella that usually just grunts when I show him anything to do with stamping. I bought him a guitar for his Birthday a little over a yr ago....and he plays that noisemaker everyday!!...lol... I really don't mind....sometimes he even talks me into singing along. The last time Trina was here.....we had a real blast singing while he played....I mean we literally brought the house down!...LOL...the dogs all hid in the other room....my son went home shortly after we began..(or I should probably say...ran home)...and I'm sure a few neighbors may have closed their windows...but it sure was FUN!!.

On to the card......

I made the base just using a plastic bowl container....I folded the CS...and placed the bowl over it (leaving one rounded edge hanging over the folded edge a tad) and drew around it with a pencil. Then I just cut it out. The finished card is approx. 5.25 inches....and will fit perfectly into my 5.5" square envelopes.

I colored the image with copics for base, prismacolor pencils and h20's to deepen the shade and add a little sparkle. *(Please remember.....do not use copics over prismacolor pencils or the wax from the pencils will ruin your copic tips!)*

I used a label maker for the words. I drew the stars freehand. The image layer and the stars are popped up on foam squares. There is glitter on the guitar.

Ink - memento black, barely banana, creamy caramel. Paper - GP White, treasures CS, provo craft, making memories, Michael's, dcwv. Accessories - button, gold cord, brads, label maker, glitter, netting, stitching, round nestie

The last time I saw my daughter Trina...we did a little stamping together (we can't sing all the time..lol)....She loved these little Motivet characters....I understand she already has a card made using one of these Cuties...so keep and eye on her blog...Trina's Timeless Treasures.

Have a Wonderful Weekend!!....and Thank you so much Everyone for all your Lovely Comments!!

P.S....I have been asked in the comment section where I find my lace. I've found some at Joannes fabric...(in the dollar bin)....Walmart..any fabric stores....garage sales.... I've even taken off of old garments. I have also taken apart gathered lace...and ironed it flat. (if you find just the right string...gathered lace will just unravel)...then I use the netting for bows ect.

Congratulations! - "Magnolia" - "the Little Stamp Shoppe"

Isn't she Cute??...I think she's a little tipsy...and grabbed some body's hat to toast somebody...or maybe Everybody...lol.

Both stamps are from Magnolia. Both "Student Tilda"...and sentiment "Congratulations" are from the 2009 Graduation Collection.

*you can also find this card on my "Sweet Magnolia's" blog*

"Just wanted to tell you"....Motivet

I used last weeks Creative Corner sketch for this card....I am a little late for the challenge....but it was a fun sketch to use anyway!!

Both the stamps on this card are from Motivet....This sweet Doraline is called "Doraline - Sorry" The sentiment is called "I just wanted to say..." I think this little Doraline and this sentiment is so versatile......she looks ready to deliver any greeting....so I will add one later inside the card.

I've colored Doraline with copics first as a base under my prismacolor pencils. I then used h20's to deepen the shade..and add a little sparkle. *(Please remember.....do not use copics over prismacolor pencils or the was from the pencils will ruin your copic tips!)*

Both the nestie panel, Doraline and the main flower is popped up on foam dimensionals. I've also placed one under the center of the sentiment...to raise it. I've used diamond glaze on the bow and shoes ...(can hardly see it in the photo though)

I cut out the pink felt flower with my flower spellbinders die. It worked perfectly!! I discovered a container full of felt sheets I had stored away from my older crafting days....Thank goodness I never threw them out. It really made my day to find them...I tell ya'...lol.

Ink - memento black, bashful blue, creamy caramel

Paper - GP white, treasures CS, My Minds Eye, Basic Grey

Accessories - dew drops, flowers, felt, trim, lace, buttons, MS leaf punch, SU flower punch, pearls, stitching, embroidery thread, diamond glaze.

Have a Great Day Everyone!!...and Thank you so much for your Lovely Comments!!!

He Loves Me!! - "Motivet DT"

I think this little Doraline is just the Cutest!!...and the Sentiment is so perfect!!....Both stamps are from Motivet......Doraline is called "Doraline-Loves me, loves me" the sentiment is called "Loves me, loves me not".

Especially for you! - "Magnolia" -"the Little Stamp Shoppe"

Hi Everyone.....I'm still alive....and almost back to normal. I don't get viruses very often....but lately when I get one....they seem harder to shake...couldn't be age could it?...lol.

I started this card last week.......I used the fabulous sketch Maria created for Stamp With Fun Challenge #16. This card also qualifies for this weeks Stamp With Fun Challenge #17 - which is a Pearl theme.

The Magnolia stamps I've used on this card are......"Tilda with Bunch of Roses" and the sentiment "Especially for you" ....both from the "Chasing Butterflies Collection".

Tilda with Bunch of Roses is also available at "the Little Stamp Shoppe" where you can also find numerous new items Heidi has been adding!!.... Check out "the Little Stamp Shoppe blog" too for Store news, Inspiration and learn more about the Sketch Challenge running till July 30th.

Tilda is colored with copics for base....prismacolor pencils and a bit of h20's to deepen the shade....*please remember to only use copics under prismacolor pencils .....never on top or your copic tips may be ruined!*

Tilda is cut out and popped up over the nesties layers. I've put glitter on Tilda's roses ....but it isn't very visible in the photo. I've also used shimmerz on the accent flowers and leaves.

Paper - GP white, DCWV, me and my big ideas.

Ink - memento, bashful blue

Accessories - ribbon (magnolia), flowers, roses, pin, beads, pearls, pearl string from dear Tina, stitching, shimmerz, glitter, spellbinders dies, paper doily.
