How ARRRR You? (TSG} New Release

It took a little begging, but we finally got Torico to illustrate a pirate set for us!! If you “need a little ‘aye’ candy”, well then “X marks the spot”.

 

 

Shiver Me Timbers is a 6x8 set that includes a total of 24 stamps and will sell for $24.00. The new stamps will be available on Saturday, April 27^th at 11pm.

I’m sure it comes as NO surprise to all you loyal There She Goes fans, but we couldn’t go without creating a companion set to go along with this SUPER fun set!! Leave it to the Trendsetters to come up with so many FUNNY and AWESOME sentiments that one set just couldn’t hold them all.

 

Ship Happens is a 3x4 set that includes a total of 9 stamps and will sell for $9.00. The new stamps will be available on Saturday, April 27^that 11pm.

 

I used 2 of the newest stamps together along with a sentiment. I colored it all with copic markers and did some deep shading with a pastel pencil.

 

Would you like to win the new stamp set? Here is what you need to do- visit the Trendsetter’s blogs that are participating in each of the blog hop challenges below and comment on their creations as you go. One of the Trendsetter’s blogs (from each hop day) will be randomly chosen as the ‘it’ blog and a winner will be picked using a random number generator from the comments left on that Trendsetter’s Blog Hop Challenge post.

You will not know which blog has been chosen so the more you comment on the better your chances are of winning new stamps! The Blog Hop Challenges will be open until 5 PM Eastern Time Saturday, April 27th with the winner being announced during the release party chat.

**2nd Post Today - For There She Goes Click HERE or scroll down.

Today I am posting for Markerpop. I have used this cutie from the Doodle Garden collection by My Favorite things.

 

I have also used the Blueprints dies from MFT - Love these! Makes putting a card together super easy. The lovely flower was handmade by a Crafty Friend, Danielle. So excited that it matched perfectly.  I colored everything up with Copic Markers and added some stickles to make the wings sparkle.

 

Thanks for coming by today

Missing You {TSG}

Good Morning!!  Today is friday and I am so happy to be going into the weekend. It's been a long week. I am still battling a cold. I swear everybody I talk to has had this bug and it's been lasting days....weeks even.  I'm no different!  Then to top if off I took a nasty fall on Tuesday morning and ended up in the ER. Had to get stitches and my knee is killing me!!  So I have been hobbling along all week and am looking forward to doing nothing this weekend.

It's There She Goes AGAIN this week.....during this week the DT previews some of our older but beautiful stamps! 

Today I have used Beautiful Day by There She Goes.

For you {MP}

2nd Post today - My There She Goes Challenge card is below! Or click HERE.

Good morning again. As I said in my previous post today I got a couple cards completed over the weekend and this was one of my favorites. Not so much for the card design but I love how the image came out.  I actually colored it about a week or so again and if you follow me on instagram or facebook, you may have seen a small preview! The Uptown girls are kind of on the larger size so card size can be an issue. So you almost have to stick to a CAS design, which is great with me!

 

I am super excited to say that Markerpop is now carrying ALL 28 colors of my personal favorite Cardstock by Bazzill.  It's the Bazzill Cardshoppe Cardstock collection and it's a great, heavy weighted paper perfect for card bases. I have been using it for about a year now and love it. I can tell if I grab the wrong paper my cards don't stand as well. No worries with this one. You cards will stand, no slouching! ;-)  I used it on my card today. This is Licorice twist. I also used some of the new Hemp Cord - Dim Grey on the Prima wood button.

 

I have once again used my favorite uptown girls from Stamping Bella!!! This one is Emily and Ryan Under the Umbrella. I paper pieced the dress and flowers.  I added some dark shading with a pastel pencil and blending stump. The scallopped die is from MFT and the patterned paper is Lakehouse by Kaisercraft.

 

Thanks for coming by today now come on over the Markerpop blog and check out the other Dt's work and play along with us in the challenge.

Just Ducky {TSG}

Good morning! How was your weekend. Well if you follow my facebook page you know I was SICK. ughh. I thought I was feeling better, but the late Saturday I got an ear infection on top of everything else. So my goal of 11 cards, was chopped down to 8 completed. Still pretty good!

This week, our challenge at There She Goes is brought to us by our Trendsetters! We are challenging you to make a card just because you can. It doesn’t need to be a specific theme, just something to say hi, I miss you, and to let the person you are making it for know that you are thinking of them.

I chose to use the newest Lucky Ducky Set.I just love all those little ducks that are in it and the sentiments are just ducky!

All the coloring is done with Copic markers. The paper is from Pebbles - Family Ties the cardbase is my favorite - Bazzill Cardshoppe Cardstock. It's a very heavy weight paper and makes a great base for a card!

Thats all for today. Come back by in a little bit, I have my favorite card of the 8 I did over the weekend coming up this morning!! :-)) 

Hugs,
Tracy V

Happy Bee Day - {MP}

Good morning! It's hump day and as usual I am looking forward to the upcoming weekend. I have some plans to do nothing, which I can't wait for.

First I would like to share with you a card I created for Markerpop.

 

The stamp I have used today is from Tiddly Inks and it is called Happy Bee Day! It just screams spring to me. Love it. The paper is from Echo Park, it's called For the Record. I added some Princess Pink - Bakers twine and topped it with the sentiment that is included with the set. I also added a bit of yellow distressing around the edges of my paper.

For the Happy Bee Day image, I colored it with copic markers. I did add some dark shading with a pastel pencil. The copic colors used are:

Body: Y11, Y15, E33 (brown pastel pencil)
Hair: E21, E23, E25, E29
Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, E13
