TLC Designs Shop: MIX & MATCH HOP

Happy Thursday friends! Today, the Design Team is having a Mix & Match Instagram Hop to give you inspiration on how the TLC stamps, dies, and papers can be mixed together. Head over to the TLC Designs Instagram Page for all the details and Hop list. I've also included some information below.

For my card, I used one of the girl robots and the bird bot in the Bot Besties Digital Set that is part of the Sketch-EZ #118 Challenge Bundle. The sentiment is from Snow Bot Friends Clear Stamp Set.

I used the Celebrate Frame Dies to create the cupcake frame and the cake. Then I fussy cut the girl and bird bots and added them to the card with foam tape for extra dimension.

The paper is from the Magical Delight Slimline Paper Pack.

TLC Designs November 2021 Digital Release + New Illustrator!

Happy Saturday everyone! I'm so excited to show you all the NEW digital products releasing in the TLC Designs Shop today! And for the cherry on top, there is also a new illustrator joining the TLC Designs family...Krista Smith [Krista Smith Stamps]! As you all know she is one of my favorite artists so I'm am beyond thrilled that she is now creating digis for TLC Designs.

The November 2021 Release includes the following:

Classic Santa Paper Pad (digital or physcial cardstock)
Peppermint Paper Pad (digital or physical cardstock)
Furniture Staples Digital Stamps
Snow Buddies Digital Stamps
Frosty Fairies Digital Stamps
Gnomeone Like You Digital Stamps (Krista Smith)

 I combined several of the digital products to create this Christmas scene card. I used the characters from Gnomeone Like You and accessories from Furniture Staples along with paper from the Classic Santa Digital Paper Pack.

 

To create the scallop slimline home scene, I used the largest die from the Zinnia Slimline Die. I cut 3 slimline shapes....one from the green patterned paper in the Classic Santa Paper Pack, one from white cardstock, and one from tan cardstock. I cut the thin white strip from the white cardstock die-cut to create the baseboard. I hand drew the lines on the tan cardstock die-cut for the wood floor and colored with Copics. Then I fussy cut out the characters and furniture, colored them with Copics and adhered them to create the scene. The boy is raised on foam tape.

We hope you enjoy this new release! I also encourage you to come join in all the FUN on the TLC Designs Creative Sharing Facebook Group and share your fabulous projects with us! We would love to Ooooh and Aaaah over your creations!

Have a great weekend!

I Am Roses September 2021 Challenge: ANYTHING GOES!

 It's The 15th of the month, and we are back with a brand new I Am Roses ANYTHING GOES Challenge! Come play along for a chance at 1 of the 4 prizes up for grabs!

I have been slowly creating some Halloween decor for around the house. I don't go all out like I used since my boy has grown up, but a little bit here and there helps me get into the decorating spirit. Today, I created a canvas wall hanging using an image from one of my favorite artists, Krista Smith. This digi is called Witchkeys. It's an older image, and I don't see it in her Etsy Store. She does have this adorable trio in the store called Witches.

 

I painted the canvas black on all sides and along the front edges. I then added decorative paper and rounded the corners. I colored the witches with Copic markers, and added the gorgeous IAR flowers along the edges. To finish it off, I added 16mm plaid beads on to some twine, tied knots on the ends, and glued the ends to the back of the canvas.

Today, I'm using a digital image from Krista Smith called Fries. It's an older image that was released back in 2018 under her Saturated Canary line so it's not in the Etsy Store. However, there are lots of digis in her shop to choose from.

I Am Roses + Krista Smith Vampire Halloween

Happy Thursday everyone! Today is Halloween so I had to make a card featuring some darker colors of flowers from I Am Roses. I paired them with this amazing digi from Krista Smith (formerly Saturated Canary) called Vampire Halloween. I colored her up a few days ago and finally got her on a card.

 

Copics:

Skin: C0, C1, C2, C3, E000

Hair: C2, C8, Black

Red: R27, R29, R37, R39

Black Roses: C3, C5, C8, C10

Leaves: BG96, BG99

Black  Background: C6, C8, C10

 

I found some Halloween paper in my stash that was cream with black trees and crows. I really wanted some red paper. So I pulled out my Copics, R27 and R39, and colored it. I used several I Am Roses flowers to frame the image. I colored the leaves darker using BG99.

 

 

Don't forget you still have until NOVEMBER 8th to enter the current I Am Roses Challenge!! You must use at least 3 products from I Am Roses on your entry. The best part is that there are 4 prizes up for grabs!! Don't miss out on your chance to win these stunning paper flowers!

 

Hugs,
