Sassy Cheryl's Illustrations: Ya Don't Say

She is running a special for the next 24 hours on this image (until Tuesday 12/12 at 12pm EST/11am CST). Use code BIRDIE at checkout to save $2 on this awesome digi!!

 

Cheryl draws the most amazing images!! The great thing is that you have the choice of purchasing an already colored version, which is a life-saver if you are trying to get several cards finished in a short amount of time!

When I saw the square image, I knew I had to use my MFT Polaroid die to capture the cute scene. The sentiment is from Honey Bee Stamps. I used some Christmas papers from my stash, and then added some ribbon and chipboard snowflakes colored with a gold sharpie. The red enamel dots are from C.C. Designs.

Be sure to head over to Sassy Cheryl's Stamps to grab this image for your collection! Don't forget to use the discount code BIRDIE to save some moolah!! While you are there, browse around because there are a lot of wonderful stamps to snatch up!

Sweet Escape Digis: MUSIC!

Happy Tuesday everyone! I'm back today with my last post as a Guest Designer for an awesome digi company called Sweet Escape Digis. She has a variety of different styles in her Etsy shop so head on over and grab a few to try out! I think you'll LOVE coloring them as much as I do!

 

This beautiful girl is called MUSIC. When I first got her I was just going to make something with records or music notes, but since it's almost Christmas and all the stations are playing Christmas Music, I decided to stick with the Christmas theme! I think she makes a fun Christmas card!

 

Copics:

Skin: E000, E00, E01, E11, E15

Hair: E71, E77, E79

Lips: R22, R24

Red: R24, R27, R29, R39

Gold Sharpie Paint Pen

 

I used decorative paper from Echo Park The Story of Christmas 6x6 Paper Pad. The scalloped rectangle frame around my image was cut out using a My Favorite Things die. The flowers are from I am Roses. I found the Jingle Bell Rock music sheet printable on-line by doing a google search. And the Shake it Up! it's Christmas sentiment is from Kraftin Kimmie Shake It Up Stamp Set.

 

 Be sure to head over to the Sweet Escape Digi Shop to check out the awesome selection! They are so much fun to color!

 

Hugs,

Rosie

7 Kids Crafting Supply Store: HONEY BEE STAMPS!

Happy Sunday everyone! Have you checked out the 7 Kids Crafting Supply Store lately? There is so much variety in the store now and new lines are being added regularly! Two of the things that makes 7 Kids stand out are their outstanding customer service and fast shipping. If you ever need anything or want something that you don't see, reach out to Kelly and she will help you!

 

Today, I'm featuring a new line we recently added called Honey Bee Stamps!! The stamps and dies are amazing! I LOVE all of the sets and added a bunch to my collection so you're going to be seeing me featuring these for a while, WOO HOO! With Christmas around the corner, I needed some cute art to display in some 8x10 frames around the house. So I decided to use these adorable birds from the Season's Tweetings Stamp Set to make something cute and simple! This set is HUGE....6x8 and comes with some awesome sentiments! Aren't they adorable!!

  In sticking with the simple theme, I didn't do any shading. I stamped the birds on kraft paper and pulled out my glitter gel pens (that have just been sitting and collecting dust, haha). The sentiment is from the Season's Tweeting set and I just embossed it with gold embossing powder. The patterned paper is from Simple Stories Very Merry 6x8 Paper Pad. I plan on putting this in an 8x10 frame, which I still need to get.

 Don't forget about our current ANYTHING GOES Challenge on the 7 Kids Challenge Blog. Just click on the link on the Challenge Blog (right side bar) to upload your card for a chance at winning a $20 gift certificate to the store! We will also be starting a new challenge on our Facebook Group soon!

 

Have a great Sunday!
