Pan Slingin' London

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!  Today we are previewing Simply Betty Stamps Pan Slingin' London, fourth in the Teen Scene Kitchen Fun collection.  Isn't she a hottie!?  I thought she looked sassy and certainly too cute to be cookin'!  I thought she kind of had that look like "you want me to do what with what?" 

My image is on Neenah and colored with Copics.  I cut the image out with a Spellbinder's Nestability and inked the edge with Tim Holtz Distress Ink.  The base of my card is Bazzill with layers of Doodlebug Designs and EK Success (the green one) papers.  I added some Prima flowers with Queen & Co. rhinestones.  I typed up my own little sentiment in MS Word, layered it and pop-dotted it on.  She is sizzlin'! 

¡Buen apetito!  (in Spanish)

Spaghetti Christian

Hi there!  Today we are previewing the Simply Betty Stamps image Spaghetti Christian from the new Teen Scene Kitchen Fun collection.  He's so cute in his chef hat that when I saw this paper I knew I had to use it!  My image is on Neenah and colored with Copics.  The base of my card is Bazzill.  The cute chef paper is Karen Foster's Chef Accessories.  I've combined that with Bo Bunny Walnut Gingham and a Lasting Impressions check.  I thought they were both very "chef-like" and they went perfectly with the Karen Foster. I used a Retro Kitchen Cuttlebug folder to add a little texture.  I finished it off with some Doodle Twine from Doodlebug Designs and my sentiment is one I did myself in MS Word.

It's a simple card but I think it's cute.  Anyway, I hope you like it and I sure appreciate you taking time to stop by and look.

Buon appetito!

Cupcake Lola

Oh how I love a good cupcake!  They're just the right size and full of tastiness!  I can say no to a lot of things but a cupcake is not one of them.  Today's Simply Betty Stamps image is Cupcake Lola and she's as sweet as they come! 

As usual, my image is on Neenah and colored with Copics.  The base of this card is Bazzill, I love the wide range of colors Bazzill carries.  If you can't find a color to match your paper, you aren't looking hard enough!
I then layered Bo Bunny's Sweet Tooth Temptations patterned paper using each side for a different layer.  I added an edge of Bo Bunny Raspberry Dot paper that I punched with a Martha Stewart punch to the striped side of the Temptations paper.  I trimmed my image, used some Tim Holtz Distress Ink to tone down the whiteness, layered it on Bazzill and then layered it onto the Bo Bunny Raspberry Dot.  This, of course, was layered onto the striped Temptations paper.  I stamped a sentiment from Stampin Up!, layered it onto more of the Raspberry Dot and pop-dotted it onto my card.  I added three dew drops for visual interest and that completed my card.  I'm pleased with how it turned out but I must admit, making this card has made me crave cupcakes.  Guten appetit!

Baking Betty

Hi everyone!  I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends!  As usual, I ate too much but Thanksgiving Day only comes once a year so I indulge myself a little.  Of course, every day should be thanksgiving day as I have much to be thankful for.  God's grace shines upon me, I have a wonderful family and wonderful friends, and a little bit of a creative gift that allows me to share my love of stamping and creating with you.  Thank you for being a part of my life here in blog land.

Today Simply Betty Stamps is releasing the first image in the Teen Scene Kitchen collection beginning with Baking Betty.  She is such a cutie, I just love her!

I colored Baking Betty on Neenah with my Copics, which, as you know, is my favorite medium.  I cut her out with a Spellbinders Nestie and edged her with Tim Holtz Distress Ink.  The base of my card is Bazzill.  I layered Karen Foster's In the Kitchen paper with Lasting Impressions checks and added my image piece to the top.  I cut out a couple of images from the paper as accents.  I printed out my sentiment, punched it out, added a couple of pearls and some ribbon.  One Baking Betty card cooked up and served!

Check back tomorrow to see what the next course is from the kitchen.  I'm sure it will be tasty!  Bon appetit!

Fluffy Reindeer Tail Levi

Now isn't he the cutest tail end of a reindeer you've ever seen!?  Meet Fluffy Reindeer Tail Levi, the newest Christmas Sketchy Zombie from Simply Betty Stamps!  I have had such a good time coloring zombies for this release.  I decided that since this is a guy I would keep the design on this card more masculine.  It's not always easy for me to do masculine cards as I like embellishments and ribbons and glitters and there's really not a lot you can use for a guy without making it too girly.  So out came the buttons!  Buttons are wonderful little touches that depending on the style of the button can easily masculine or feminine.  My image is on Neenah and colored with Copics.  The other papers are Bazzill and Bo Bunny's Blitzen.  The card is simple with just a little layering, a simple sentiment and a few buttons.  I did tone the white of the Neenah down with some Tim Holtz Rusty Hinge Distress Ink.

So, that's it for today.  I hope you like Levi, I think he's a cutie.
Thanks for stopping by!

Jinglin' Jessi

Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jinglin' Jessi all the way!

Oh what fun it is to stamp

When Lea gets to play, hey!

Yeah, I know, I'm being corny!  Well, there's nothing corny about Jinglin' Jessi, this image from Simply Betty Stamps is as cute as they get!  She seems very happy for a zombie so I felt the need to color her happy colors.  She's all decked out in purple and lime green.  My two favorite colors!!  I had to give her purple curls and I figured if she's going to run around in a strapless dress in the winter, then she's gotta be cold, right!?  Hence the icy blue skin.  Yeah, I know she's a zombie and therefore she's dead, or is she undead?  Either way she's just so darn cute!

I colored her with Copics on Neenah and layered her on some purple Bazzill.  My other layers are Bo Bunny and a piece of unknown origin paper.  As soon as I saw this cutie, I knew I had to use this piece of Bo Bunny from the Winter Joy collection.  Using a Memory Box die I cut the blue accent swirl that I used to mount my sentiment from A Muse onto.  I added a couple of ribbons from my stash and some purple dew drops.  I love how this card turned out.  It's bright, fun and one of my favs!  Thanks for stopping by!  Jingle bells, jingle...
