Show us your sketch at Totally Stampalicious

I can't believe another week has gone by!  Totally Stampalicious has another challenge for you.  This week we would love to see your favorite go-to sketch.  Show us the sketch, then show us your card.  

I have to confess, I don't usually use sketches.  I don't have a favorite.  I do however, have a whole board dedicated to them on Pinterest!  LOL  I decided to look at those and pick my favorite to show you.  Here it is, from Sweet Sunday Sketch:

And here is my card:

I have used Stella Peeker Another Drink that you can find HERE at the Totally Stampalicious store.  I have of course tweeked the sketch a little bit.  I decided not to have the banner/ribbon down the middle of the card, and I have also added some buttons.

I would like to add this to the following challenge:

I hope you are able to play along with us this week, I'm looking forward to seeing all these new sketches!

Paper Piecing at Totally Stampalicious

Good morning and happy Monday to you!  The kids have a day off of school today, so we are working on cleaning their rooms and making the place spic and span!  I am happy to have gotten caught up on paperwork and errands this weekend, so if we can get the house clean then I will be ahead of the game!  Go me! LOL

Monday means it is time for another challenge at Totally Stampalicious!  This week we would like to see some paper piecing on your card.  I love this new set Stella Wine, and the first thing I said when I saw it was that it would be awesome for paper piecing.  Stella didn't let me down! LOL  Doesn't she look amazing!

I would love to add this to the following challenges:

Bugaboo Bingo - No DP, Bugaboo Image, starts with P (polka dots)

Alphabet Challenge - Y is for yummy

Sweet Pea - CAS no embellishments

Don't forget that all stamps are currently $5 in the Totally Stampalicious Store!  Get them while they last!

I hope everyone has a Stampalicious Monday and a wonderful week!

Favorite 3-color combo!

It's a Totally Stampalicious Monday!  Thanks to all who participated in our new release blog hop last week!  Be sure to check the blog to see if you are a winner!  Today's challenge is to show us your favor three color combination.

My color combo is light blue, pink and gray.  For my card I am using one of the new release stamp sets.  This one is called Balloon Critters and you can find it HERE in the Totally Stampalicious store.

I stamped and colored this cutie with copics first.  Next step was to use an embossing pen and heat emboss what I had colored in clear.  I made two masks for clouds out of scrap paper and sponged in the blue sky.  I mounted the panel to straight white because I didn't want to detract from the image.

I would like to add this card to the following challenges:

Quirky Challenges - something new with pink (new stamp, pink balloon)

The Squirrel and the Fox - anything goes

Addicted to CAS - embossing

My seven year-old daughter helped me with this card!  I colored the image, she picked the backing paper and stuck it on.  She also stamped the Brrrr all over and pleated the pink ribbon.  She was such a big help to me when I was trying to finish up all my projects!  The image is one of our new sets over at the Totally Stampalicious store called Girlz Winter.  You can find it HERE!

Have a great week!

Wine Bottle Tag

We have a challenge at Totally Stampalicious this week to make anything but a card.  Now there's a side story to my project.  My husband has been making these wooden wine glass holders in his wood shop that we have been selling at craft fairs in the area.  He has also been making cheeseboards and my mother has been hand-painting wine bottles to sell along with everything.  When this challenge came up I decided to get on the bandwagon so to speak!  Here is a wine glass tag made using Friends Wine that you can find HERE at the Totally Stampaliciuos store.

So much fun and a great hostess gift! 

I would like to add this card to the following challenges:

Anything but a Card - ABC
Live and Love Crafts - anything but a card

Have a great week, and happy entertaining!

Snowflakes at Totally Stampalicious!

I hope everyone was able to participate in the Black Friday Deal over at the Totally Stampalicious store!  It was a great deal at only $5 per stamp set!

Today at the Totally Stampalicious blog Christmas is in full swing!  We'd like to see cards or projects with some SNOWFLAKES!

I have used some kraft cardstock and stamped some snowflakes at the top and paired it with some awesome blue snowflake ribbon I had in my stash.  Pair that with the sentiment from Let It Snow Stella that you can find HERE in the Totally Stampalicious store and we have our snowflake card!  With just a punch of humor...teehee.  That's Stella for you! :)

Black and White Christmas

I've heard of a blue Christmas, but have you heard of a black and white Christmas?  Naaa me neither!  Then it's perfect for our non-traditional Christmas card challenge at Totally Stampalicious!

I have used Deacon and Ava HoHo that you can find HERE in the Totally Stampalicious store.  I stamped them in white ink on black paper and black ink on white paper.  The next step was to cut the black paper at an angle and match it up with the image on the white paper.  I kept the papers big, then matched it up, then cut them down together later to make my panel.  

Don't forget to play along in our challenge!  I can't wait to see the awesome entries!

Have a great week!

Bling it up at Totally Stampalicious!

Good morning!  What a busy weekend we had!  Our craft fair on Saturday was very exciting!  Lots of shoppers and many nice compliments!  Then on Sunday I had a Pampered Chef party and ate some yummy food.  Also on Sunday my nephew turned 13!  Yikes a teenager! LOL

Now it's a Totally Stampalicious Monday and I hope to be crafting most of the day, working on my Christmas cards!  Woo hoo!  On another note, thank you so much to all of you who have served our country and helped us keep our freedoms!  Happy Veterans Day!

For our challenge this week at the Totally Stampalicious blog we would like to see BLING.  For my card I have used Let It Snow Stella that you can find HERE at the Totally Stampalicious store.

I wanted to keep it clean and simple, but I really like the pearls to accentuate the sentiment.  Make sure you play along in our challenge, you never know when Joycelyn will decide to give away some prizes! Wink, wink!

Anything goes at Totally Stampalicious

Yep, you heard correctly!  It's anything goes today at Totally Stampalicious! 

 For my card I have used Deacon Elf which you can find HERE at the Totally Stampalicious store.  I colored him with copics and used the Atyou Spica glitter pens to make the glittery hat and ribbon.  I used a design from one of the presents that Deacon is carrying to make the card design with.  The ribbon is some I picked up at a local craft store.  

I would like to add this to the following challenges:

Crafty Hazelnut's - no patterned paper

Crafty Ann's - Christmas in October

Crafty Ribbons - Christmas

I hope you have a great week, and for all of you here in the Northeast I hope you stay safe and dry!

Monday again!

I cannot believe it is Monday AGAIN!!!!  This month is flying by!  Time for another Totally Stampalicious Monday Challenge!  This week we have a color challenge for you.  The colors we would like to see are purple and green with black and/or white.

I used the color combo to make a Christmas card;  using a Totally Stampalicious stamp set of course!  The set I used was Margaret December that you can find HERE at the store.

Just love the humor with this one!  My nephew is going to be a teenager in a few weeks!!! How did this happen?  Does that mean I'm getting old!?!  LOL

Have a good week!

Pink and Blue Christmas...

Good morning!  It's time for another Totally Stampalicious Monday Challenge!  It's also time to start crafting for Christmas!  The challenge this week is to show us your Christmas cards and/or projects!

I have used Ava and Deacon HoHo that you can find HERE at the Totally Stampalicious store.  I colored this in with copics.  The gloss on the HoHo is crystal effects from Stampin' Up.  I'm not exactly sure where the patterned paper comes from, as it was a scrap I found in the drawer left over from another project.  The flowers are also from Stampin' Up.

I would like to add this to the following challenges:

Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas - snowflakes

Jingle Bells - pink christmas
