Cutest Christmas Kiddos

This week the Stampendous Design Team is showcasing our adorable Christmas Kiddos.  I absolutely adore the Kiddos line of stamps, they're just the cutest little guys and gals!  This particular Kiddo (and the sentiment) is part of the Toyland Kiddo set sold exclusively at Michaels.  It's one of my favs and is perfect for fast and simple Christmas cards.

I started off by stamping my image and the sentiment with Memento® Tuxedo Black on Neenah® Classic Crest and coloring them with Copic® markers.  I trimmed them down to the size I wanted and added a red mat to each with Bazzill®.  I also used red Bazzill® to create my 5"x5" card base with a tent fold.  I trimmed a piece of 3 Bugs in a Rug patterned paper for my background and adhered it to the base with Beacon® Zip Dry.  I adhered the other pieces with Beacon® as well and mounted them to the card base as shown.  This was a super quick and easy card to create but pretty darn cute!

Thanks so much for stopping by and I'll see you again real soon!  Hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Double your pleasure...

...double your fun!  Today you get a two for one!

On the Simply B Stamps blog we are previewing the new Teen Scene Birthday Munsters Collection.  Needless to say, I'm just a wee bit behind having gone to CHA Convention in California.  Have I told you yet that I hung out with our very own Betty Roberts, creator of so much goodness!?  Well, I did!  I had such a good time and almost hated to come back home.  However, all good things must come to an end and now I'm back to reality and back to creating cuteness for your viewing pleasure. 

First up is Birthday Pugsly Christian.  He was actually previewed yesterday but since I'm a day behind, you get to see my version today.  He's such a cutie, too!  My image is on Neenah Classic Crest and colored with Copics.  I added my own grass to polish off the image which is matted on Bazzill.  My card base is Bazzill and my patterned paper is Doodlebug Design's Surprise Party.  My sentiment is from A Muse and stamped in Tim Holtz gathered twigs distress ink.  I added red grosgrain ribbon from my stash for that little extra pop of color.  Now there you have it, a simple card without a lot of fuss!

Next us is Party Lola!  This girl is ready to throw on her party hat for a good time and a little rock and roll!  As with Christian, Lola is on Neenah Class Crest and colored with Copics.  There's just something about Lola that makes me want to color funky hair.  I don't know what it is, maybe it's a secret desire to have my own hair in some fun shade like purple or pink.  It must be my inner punk rocker!  Anyway, this little Sweetie is colored with Copics and matted on Bazzill.  My base is Bazzill and my patterned papers are from Three Bugs in a Rug's Butterfly Kisses.  This time I used a piece of the patterned paper to create a party hat complete with pom-poms!  I typed my sentiment on the computer and printed it out to layer and mount with pop dots.  Lola is also pop-dotted with a double stack of pop dots to make sure the pom-pom trim on the hat fit underneath. 

  

Both cards were relatively simple to create and so much fun to color!  I hope you have enjoyed them and please come back tomorrow for another sneak peak.  You know you want to see!

Thanks for stopping by!

So, now that the business end of this has been taken care of, let's take a look at Beep Beep Oscar!  Is he ca-ute or what!?

He's on Neenah and colored with Copics.  The other papers are Bazzill and Echo Park's Playground.  I did cut out two of the arrows and pop-dot them over the layered image.  I also used some of my Tim Holtz grungeboard letters to spell Zoom that I colored with my Copics.  A simple card that would be great for a boy's birthday . 

Next up is my Just Betty card.  Another simple card but certainly cute none the less.

Again, she's on Neenah and colored with Copics.  The patterned and plain papers are 3 Bugs in a Rug and Bazzill.  I also used a Memory Box die to layer around her with a few rhinestones I had in my stash.  Both are cute and simple and I hope you have enjoyed my creations.  

Don't forget, the next person in the hop is

Dress Up Ariel

Oh my gosh have we got a cutie for you today!  Say hello to Dress Up Ariel, the newest preview in the Jude & the Rockers Playtime collection from Simply B Stamps.  Okay, so this is my new favorite!  Well, actually, they're all favorites.

I love, love, love this image!  The image is colored with Copics on Neenah.  My base is Bazzill and I've added a little extra matting with some solid black.  The patterned paper is from the 3 Bugs in a Rug collection called A Trip to Paris.  I thought this paper would be perfect to use for this image and I love the results.  I typed my own sentiment on my computer and printed it out and layered it the same as my image.  For the middle piece, I cut out the striped piece, cut out the purses strip and edged it with black Bazzill I punched with my Martha Stewart punch.  I decided to add the rose in at the last minute. I love how it all came together and I hope you like it too!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs,
Lea
