Stamp AnnieThing February Release Day 1



Happy February!!!
Day one consists of our latest stamp, Oliver- braces.
We created this stamp with add ons.  We know how hard it can be to find special need cards and images, so we developed this month to showcase them.  Create the kids as typical or with the add ons.  Oliver comes to you with add one arm brace stamps.  Mask them on to showcase a special individual!   
We also have a new Retro Squares Stencil and a very cool 8 point star back die.  Use this to frame your images or as a window!  Embellish your creations further with our newly added Heart sprinkles or Valentine Sequin Mixes!


I played with the new stencil and stamp from today's peeks. To create my card. I started by coloring my image with my Copic markers:

Skin – E21, E33, E04 Hair – E43, E44, E47, E49 Pants – E50, E31, E33 Braces – C1, C3 Shoes – W1, W3 Shirts – B41, B95, C1, Colorless Blender

I embossed my cardstock with the stencil running it through my die cut machine with a rubber matte.
I also used a die cut from Stamp AnnieThing. I love these big words that sum it up!

Thank you for stopping by today I hope you like the first look at the February release! Come back tomorrow and Friday to see more?.

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Seas The Day!

Hello friends and family starting your week off with a little Dare2B Artzy and Copic inspiration. 

I am sharing one of the brand new images this week, the Ocean Waves stamp set. There is a brand new challenge as is usual at the start of the month and just in time for Valentines the challenge is “Love”! Make sure to share your creation over on the D2BA blog for a chance to win some Dare 2B Artzy goodies.

I stamped the little sail boat and masked it so I could come back and stamp the waves over the top so the little boat could be right down on the water and added one of the sentiments that comes with the set. 

Then I colored up the water and sky with my Copics:

I added some color to my little ship:

I added a little sparkle to the waves:

And got my image onto my card front with a small touches of two of the new coordinating patterned papers from the Seas The Day line.

Thank you for stopping by today! Make sure to check out the brand new shop and site for Dare 2B Artzy and pick out a few items from the new lines. Just so you know they will be available for shipping the first of March.

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Smile! Inspiration from Stamp Anniething

Hello friends and family! I am checking in on this fine hump day to share a little SAT inspiration! I am creating a fun card with this month’s amazing release. The stamp is Kimmie – So Jazzed and she is GREAT for practicing coloring long hair! Love her gorgeous long straight hair. I am coloring with my Copic markers to color her up and then I used a few simple patterned papers for a bright cheerful base. I also used this month’s word die Smile! I mean who can’t use a smile through the mail?!

Here is a look at Kimmie:

Here is a list of the colors I used: 

E11, E13, E15, YR31, Y21, YR24, E33, YR04, YR07, BG02, BG05, C1, C3, C5, C7, C9, Colorless Blender. I created the quilted look on the purse just drawing short dashes with my C3 Copic.

Here is a look at the completed card: Yep clean and simple!

And one more close up:

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Hope you are having time during the cold winter months to get crafty with your Stamp Anniething favorites!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Stamp AnnieThing December Release Day #3

Stamp Club members get a 15% discount!
 
`~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
 
 
 
Do you see how many ways todays stamp can be used? This little gal can grace all sorts of tags and cards for all types of celebrations! Gotta love an image with multiple uses!
I decided to create a tag/ornament using todays featured stamp, one of the dies and glitter from this month as well as the die base shape from last month. In true Michelle Houghton card making style this project got put together once, completely torn apart and then re-assembled! 
 
 
Originally I had a white back on the wreath shaker portion and although I liked it I decided “ooooh wouldn’t this be even neater if you could see all the way through?!” So rip, tear, trough away, more cutting, taping, gluing and here you go:
 
 
I am glad I did it I would change one thing in future, I would back the image with a colored paper so when the ornament/tag swings around you do not see the back of my coloring ? I am really please how she turned out though. Here are the colors I used:
 
 
And here is a close up of just the coloring, you can just barely see in the photo but the holly was added to her head band and popped up:
 
 
Thank you so much for joining us this week for the December release!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

`~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
 
So today I had a lot of fun! I created a card using the amazing stamp! LOVE LOVE LOVE this image!
And then I created a tag with the new die, last months die and some of the new do-dads to create a shaker! Card first!
 
 
I had so much fun picking colors and coloring this image up, here is a look at what I used. I think you will be able to guess most, but if you are curious about the BV20 I almost always do snow with that and my Colorless Blender.
 
 
Here is a close up so you can see some of the details:
 
 
Then I created this tag, so easy, the layers are cardstock with tie, foam tape and filler then plastic and to top it off die cut front, YAY!
 
 
You’ll notice some of the snowflakes from the shaker tag also landed on the card, I couldn’t resist ?
 
Thank you so much for stopping by today! Remember one more day of reveals and all will be available in the store tomorrow!
 

Have a Happy Colorful Day!
