Roses On Paper Challenge #4 by Anki- Magnolia Cherish

9:49 PM | Posted by Chris Olsen, Glowbug | | Edit Post

Talking about last minute. This one is last minute. I saw this challenge this week and really wanted to participate. With so many personal demands, I just got to it today. It was a real challenge but oh so much fun. You can see the challenge at Roses On Paper Designer team blog. The challenge was to use the sketch below with any Magnolia or Whiff of Joy stamp. These are the stamps that are available at Roses on Paper.

I chose to use a Magnolia stamp. I am unsure of the name. If anyone knows it's name, please let me know. I bought it back in September and am just now made the time to use it. I loved stamping it and coloring with Gamsol. Tilda is so cute and fun!! Who can resist?!! The sketch was different from my normal but oh so much fun. Thanks for the challenge.

I just purchase this paper today. It is a new DCWV stack called Garden Party. Nice spring colors!!!

The image is popped on dimensionals and layered. Some of the image is glittered (boots, bow, and the cuff on the sleeve). The flowers in the corner are hand crocheted and dyed with SU Cameo Coral. The flourishes are a Valentine Sizzix flourish die. The leaves are cut from glitter paper using a Martha Stewart punch.

OCC Challenge-Feature Presentation of Keep My Lamp Burning and I Am the Way ODBD- Purple Passion Lilies

8:14 PM | Posted by Chris Olsen, Glowbug | | Edit Post

This card I am sharing with you tonight is stamped two sets of stamps from Our Daily Bread Designs to be released on February 1. The lilies are from the set I Am the Way and one of my alltime favorite verses is from Keep My Lamp Burning. The sketch I used is for the OCC Challenge. The lilies were watercolored with Stampin Up markers on Watercolor Paper. I didn't add any glitter because I love the watercolored look on the flowers. The DP is K&Co. paper I purchased from Walmart!! It is recycled paper. I emembossed the vanilla circles with a floral embossing folder and dimensionalized the lilies. The verse is framed using a Martha Stewart floral border punch. The card is sewn with purple thread. Lastly I added some pearls.

Stamps: Keep My Lamp Burning ODBD, I Am the Way ODBD

Paper: K&Co. Recycled Paper-Purple Pack, Eggplant CS, and Taken with Teal CS, Vanilla CS, Watercolor Paper

SU Puppy Love Valentine

8:34 PM | Posted by Chris Olsen, Glowbug | | Edit Post

Today was one of those days that nothing seemed to go right. I honestly didn't think that I would have a card to post tonight but I do!!! I did not do this for any challenges. Just for fun!! I just got this Candy Lane Paper from Stampin Up with my Love You Much bundle. I Love It. I wanted to show case it in a card. Here it is!! All of the designer paper is Candy Lane. Lots of layers, huh? Since most of it is designer paper, it is not too heavy. The cardstock colors are Chocolate Chip, Pink Pirouette and Riding Hood Red. I received this little girl stamp and dog from my sister. It is so adorable. Before I returned it, I wanted to stamp atleast one card with it. I do not know the name of the stamp set but I do know it is a retired Valentine's Day set from Stampin Up. I colored it with Gamsol and layered it to give it dimension. The hearts, polka dots on the dress, and headband are glittered for some glitz. The pink fourish is a Sizzix Valentine Flourish. I love the flower!! It looks so real. It is a prima flower.

Card Recipe

Stamps: Stampin Up Valentine Retired

Paper: SU Candy Lane DP, Chocolate Chip, Riding Hood Red, Pink Pirouette, White

Accessories: Swiss Dot Embossing folder, Sizziz Valentine Flourish, Martha Stewart Leaf Punch, Rhinestone Flourish, Small Rhinestones, Prima Rose, SU Riding Hood Red Striped Grosgrain Ribbon, brown thread, glitter, nestabilities

I hope you enjoyed tonights post. I hope to share a preview of more Our Daily Bread Design stampsets to be release on February 1 tomorrow. Have a good night!!!

Blessings to all!!

Make It with Paper Pleats Technique Lover's Challenge 205- You're Tutu Terrific/ A Friend Takes a Dog out to Lunch-SC215 and CC203(My Favorite Things)

3:32 PM | Posted by Chris Olsen, Glowbug | | Edit Post

I hope you enjoy today's posts. Since there is another snowstorm here and I am cooped inside, it is the perfect day to catch up on some challenges. The sleet is coming down here now. Yuck!!!

Yesterday I found out that my favorite and ONLY Scrapbooking store is going out of business . We do have Michael's and A.C. Moore but it is not the same. Their selection of designer papers and heavy Bazzill was fantastic. I guess I will have to do more online shopping. Boohoo!

The first card I made was for three challenges initially. The color challenge for the week which included using Baja Breeze, Pacific Point and Garden Green (CC203), today's sketch challenge (SC215), and TLC205 (using paper pleats). This was a very time consuming card since I kept changing things as I went along. I had done the paper pleats for the canopy over the window but was not happy with it so I pleated ribbon instead. While I love the color Pacific Point, it is a little out of my comfort zone. It is very hard to match with other colors or designer paper. As I was coloring the girl's dresses using gamsol, my ideas seemed to evolve on how I could design this card. I actually love how it turned out. I had planned on giving this card away but I don't know if I want to part with it now. I applied Crystal Effects to the glasses and boots for a shiny appearance and glitter to the dog's bow for some glitz. The images are colored with gamsol and dimensionalized.

Card Recipe

Stamps- Meet Me at the Cafe- My Favorite Things

Paper- Urban Garden DP-SU, Pacifice Point CS, Baja Breeze CS, Garden Green CS, White CS

Accessories- pearls, Cuttlebug swiss dots embossing folder, baja breeze type thread, lace, Sheer Blue Ribbon, hatpin, freshwater faux pearls, Sizzlits swirls folder, Marth Stewart Leaf Punch, and Prima Obsessions Embossed flowers

The second card includes paper pleats for the Technique Lover's Challenge (TLC205). This card was made for a little girl's birthday. I thought the ballerina and the saying were just too cute. All of the papers for this card come from DCWV Girl's Nursery Pack. I love all of this paper!!! It is so beautiful! The floral designer paper in the background glistens with glitter. I thought the pleats were perfect for this card since the ballerina looks like she is performing. It makes the perfect curtain. This stamp set is retired from Stampin Up and is called Tutu Terrific.

Stamps: SU Tutu Terrific

Paper: DCWV Girl's Nursery Stack, Pink Bazzill

Accessories: May Arts Ribbon-pink, American Crafts Pink ribbon, prima flowers, Martha Stewart flower, rhinestones, Cuttlebug Swirls Embossing Folder, oval nestabilities

I hope you enjoyed today's post. Please let me know what you think. I am now off to look at a few blogs and back to stamping I go. I had hoped to accomplish a lot more today but time just hasn't allowed it.
