PPC and Avery Elle Blog Hop.....

Good morning! This entire week Perfect Paper Crafting is teaming up with Avery Elle to bring you a blog hop! So from July 28th through August 1st we will each be sharing a little something with you.  Hop along for a chance to win 2- $50.00 gift certificates, one from each company.

 

Today I used the Red and Goldie Stamps set along with the matching dies - Red and Goldie Elements. I have to admit I have tried using dies to cut out my images before and I wasn't a fan because they didn't cut right and you couldn't see if you had the edges matched properly because it was a solid piece of metal. So my image was always off...HOWEVER....with the Avery Elle dies that was not a problem AT ALL. They were so easy to line up since the inside is cut out as well. I had NO problems and I even cut them out AFTER I colored.  Talk about being way easier than fussy cutting around the images!  These were great!

 

 

I used an old favorite paper pad from Simple stories.  Then I took my red cardstock along with my Perfect Layers Mini Tools and cut out my Perfect Layers!  Don't forget you can get 5% off on your perfect layers by entering in Tracy5% when you checkout.

 

Here is the blog hop schedule for the week, be sure to leave a comment for your chance to win!!

Have a Ball

We've got a new sketch challenge over at SugarPea Designs for you this week!

 

Today I have used Spare Me.  He is all colored up with copic markers. I added some highlights to him with a black pastel pencil.  The pants are paper pieced.  I then stamped out one of the accessories included in the set and added the sentiment over it and fussy cut around for my sentiment.  As always I used my Perfect Layers Mini tools for my mattes. If you order, don't forget to use Tracy5% for you discount!

 

 

So now it's time for you to play along with us....here are the details:

 

• Create a new card or project using the SugarSketch provided.
• SugarPea Design stamps are NOT required to play along or to win but would be appreciated 
• You may rotate/flip the sketch & replace shapes – so long as the original sketch layout is recognizable 
• Upload to your blog or other Online Gallery using Keyword: SPDSS08 so that we may check out your beautiful work

Good morning! It's Bellarific Friday and this weeks theme is CELEBRATION. Well, I am celebrating that it is FRIDAY and the weekend is here!! yay!!  This is going to totally be me this weekend....though my drink may look a bit different. I am thinking more along the lines of a Coconut Mojito!  Yea, they are super yummy....my new fav drink! ;-)

I colored her up with copic markers. used a VERY SIMPLE CAS design for the card.  Added some shading with pastel pencils.  Used my Perfect Paper Crafting, Perfect Layers Mini for my card matte. Threw some enamel dots from recollections on it and Viola...here is my card!
