Jingle Bells Xmas Card: Stampotique Challenge SDC176: Anything Goes, Week 2

Hello Lovelies

For today's blog post I have a xmas card share that I made for the new Anything Goes Week 2 challenge over at the Stampotique Challenge Blog.  It's 'anything goes' all month long so we can enter up to 5 times to win one of two 30$ prizes!

I used the stamp Noelle for this card, she is one of my favorites. I decide to keep it on a simple white background and used some of the Stampotque presents cube and embellishments along with a red border sticker, some washi tape and punch out snowflakes. I loved the look of those snowflakes on the previous card I made so I decide to use them again. 

For the sentiment I wanted something sassy to make the stamp so I found this sentiment around on pinterest and used alpha stickers to spell it out.

I hope you enjoyed this card share. I'm busing working on more holiday cards for my crafty friends. these are the cards I have so far, I believe I have 10 more to make, eek! 

Thanks for stopping by!

SDC: Newspaper or Magazine

Hello Lovelies,

I'm back today with an art journal page I made for the recent Stampotique challenge which is to use a piece of actual newspaper or magazine clippings on your project. 

Here is what I made:

I used 3 magazine clippings: the black and white background, Batboy's new body, and the sentiment. The background was made using distress paints and metallic blue paint. 

I used Batboy's head on the body and also used the stamp 'heads' and cut out 3 little heads and colors it all in with copics in E50, W1, W3.

Thanks for stopping by!

Sing A Song | Stampotique ATC Swap

Hello Lovelies,

I must admit I haven't been feeling the best again so I haven't been making much projects or youtube videos. I became sick again for the 2nd time this month but I am starting to feel better. So I joined a Stampotique ATC swap for the month of July and the theme is "Sing a Song". Not gonna lie, it took me a long time to make these 2 little ATCs  but I like how they turned out.  I will be entering these ATCs in different challenges. For the Sing a Song swap I decided to use song lyrics/song titles.

This first ATC will be entered in Haunted Design House "number of the beast" challenge to celebrate the 666+1 followers. You had to use a monster or beastie or anything that you  can be inspired with from the challenge name. 

So I used Mink by Stampotique because she gives off a creepy beastie feel and I love it! And my song lyric is from the song "Skulls"  by one of my favourite bands The Misfits. I hope it is beastie enough. The background was made using gel medium and a Tim Holtz stencil called Shattered. I love how it turned out and I applied my own homemade high flow acrylic black paint on top.

For my second ATC I made it with the new Stampotique Challenge in mind. The theme is "love, anniversary, wedding" and I went with love.

The song I picked is called "Give Me Love" by another one of my favorite bands The Used. The heart in the background was made from one of my homemade Gelli Plate and I just stamped on it and cut out heart shapes. I used various heart punches and glitter tape to punch out hearts. And I love the little acrylic flower on her hair. The stamp I used is Chicken by Stampotique.

I will also enter this ATC in Simon Says "anything goes" challenge.

Thanks for stopping by!

How Sentimental

Hello Lovelies,

Today I have an entry for Stampotique's recent challenge which is "sentimental". And the page I'm about to share with you was one that I didn't think I would share with anyone because it is one of my most personal art journal pages I feel I have ever made. 

I made this page to document something important that happened to me, my boyfriend left to go to Italy to work for 5 months and I am so happy and proud of him but a part of me also felt lost in a way. Without going into further details; this is why this page was made.

I used so many different paints and sprays to create the background along with many different stamps. I used Minky girl stamp and colored her in with copics. 

The sentiment is written using rub-on letters.

And I used a number stencil by Dylusions with modelling paste to add random numbers all around the pages. These numbers represent the time and days he will be away.

 This page is very sentimental to me and I hope Stampotique members will like it.

Thanks for stopping by!

SDC 150th Challenge!

Hello Lovelies!

I have a quick post today, I made this birthday card for a friend's birthday but I thought it would be fun to use my Stampotique stamps to recreate her family: her, her husband, and her 2 boys. I Decided to make an easel card simply because I haven't made one in a while.  I am entering this card into Stampotique's Celebration challenge for their 150th challenge! They are also looking to fill some guest designers spots with this challenge (wish me luck!).

I was contemplating wether or not to use a birthday sentiment but I had this project life card sitting on my desk so I decided to just go with that so I trimmed it and glued it down to the bottom section of the card. I think it's a fun sentiment to remember to enjoy and celebrate life!

I got a little messy with the background and used my Silks Acrylics Glazes on a piece of black and white patterned paper. I then hand drew a black and white border and used my super thin black and white washi tape to recreate that border all along the bottom half of the card. I think it turned out pretty cool.

 I also used some heart blink and black enamel accents on the sentiment and on the little dots on the background and I used some enamel accents on their eyes as well.

Thanks for stopping by!

Polka Dots Galore

Hello Lovelies,

For today's post I have a quick card share. I need to start growing my card inventory for when I have happy mail to send out so I started with this cute card I made for Stampotique's new challenge: Pink, Turquoise and Polka Dots.  Make sure to check them out and you could win a great prize.

I started with a plain white card base and used Distress Paint in Picked Raspberries and Silks Acrylic Glaze in Guatemalan Green which is actually a gorgeous turquoise-y color and I used some punchinella and my new dots stencil to create my polka dots. I just had fun with the stencils and decided to layer the colors.

The stamp I used is called Kitty Squad and I colored them up with my copics and added some stickles and wink of stella to them.

I then added some glitter ribbon tape and black polka dot fabric tape and stamped "hi there" with a new alphabet set I recently bought.

Thanks for stopping by,

Chicken's Words of Wisdom

Hey Lovelies!

Today I have a fun art journal page to share. I am entering it in the new Stampotique challenge and the theme this week is: Pink and Orange background. 

Now let me tell you the story of  the perfect timing of this challenge. I recently did a art journal background swap with my friend Jenn who is MixedMediaJenn on youtube. I can't share what I made just yet, but for her background I decided to go out of my comfort zone of colors and use pink and orange (and of course a little touch of purple!). So I already had the color down for this page because I used it to clean up the extra paint on my work surface. So it all worked out perfectly that this challenge was orange and pink. The end. LOL.

I used my new Stampotique stamp "Chicken" that I just got in the mail today

Watch my haul video here (there is also a sneak peek of this page at the end of the video):

I've been on a modelling paste kick recently and I just had to use it on my page. I used 3 different stencils and then went over it and added some pink and orange watercolor just to tone down the white.

Isn't she the cutest? I colored her in my with Copic markers and then sprayed Heidi Swapp white shimmer spray on top. It's hard to see but she has a subtle shimmer. I then tried clear embossing the image.

Thanks for stopping by.

Serena.

Twinkie Says Hi

Hello Lovelies!

I have yet another Stampotique project share, you all must know by now my love for this stamp company right?

They are still having a call to have your projects featured on their store front at www.stampotique.com. We are allowed to enter up to three times and this will be my last chance entering. Fingers crossed they pick me! They are also having a giveaway! 

Here is what I made this time:

This 6x6 card came together late one night. I recently bought black and white polka dot paper from Target and I have been using it on my art journal pages, so I thought to try it out on a card. I used a glue stick to adhere it on white card stock.  I then started by smearing some silver paint on top and then continued with purple and black paint making lines with an old gift card.

I colored Twinkie with some of my new Copic markers and added him on the card with foam adhesive so that he stands out from the busy background. 

I used circle punches and glitter paper to create added interest to the background and used my label maker for the sentiment.

I will also be entering this card over on Simon Says Stamp Challenge for this week, the theme is anything goes!

I hope you like! And thanks for stopping by!

Feels Like Forever

Hello Lovelies,

It feels like forever since I joined a Stampotique challenge! This week's theme is to use pens/paint. I didn't think I had anything I could use to enter until I looked on my desk, I had made fun happy mail to sent out to 2 winners of my Facebook challenge, click the link to check out my Facebook page. It all worked out perfectly since I used paint pens and regular black pen to do some doodles on the envelopes.

Please excuse the washi tape, I had to protect their privacy.

I know it is simple but I didn't want to add too much in case the post office needed to add stamps and what not to it. On the back I wrote my address, sealed it with washi tape, and stamped 3 dancing skeletons. Hehe, gotta love the skulls!

Thanks for stopping by, you should play along with their challenge!

Stay Creepy

Hi Ghoulies!

I'm here today with a ATC share. I am part of a swap with my friend Crystal and we decided to make creepy ATCs for each other. This is the one I made for her. I will be entering it in the Stampotique ATC Challenge . I am also entering it in the recent Simon Says Stamp Challenge which is to use a rubber or clear stamp. And in the Wicked Wednesday ATC challenge blog the theme this week is cute and creepy, how perfect is that! I am also entering it at Paper Issues Halloween link up Giveaway!

I made the background using 3 different colors of Silks Acrylic Glaze and made the black and white border using sharpies and pens.

I used Stampotique's Mothloved By Daniel Torrente.

 I then added some wood veneers that I colored in black and added some black glitter. 

Thanks for stopping by!
