TSOL: Bless Chew!

Hello! Today I have a card using the bubblegum4me set from The Stamps Of Life.  I colored the machine with red copic markers.  After stamping each gum ball, I added some glossy accents over each one.  The border is doodled using a fine point sharpie marker.

Thanks for stopping by!

TSOL: Rainbows and Gumballs

Hello!  Today I have a card to share using some sets from The Stamps Of Life.  The background is the gum4background set.  I used my Faber Castell Gelatos to color directly onto to the stamp.  I then spritzed the entire stamp with water and stamped onto watercolor paper.  The small gumball machine is from the bubblegum4me set.  I stamped the tiny gumballs using inks from Stephanie and then added glossy accents to the top.  The sentiment is from the more gum4me set.

Thanks for stopping by!

Bubbles, bubbles, bubbles....

Hello! I have three fun bubble cards to share with you today using new sets from The Stamps Of Life!  The first one uses the set bubblegum4me.  I stamped the bubbles in Sky and Blueberry (Stephanie's inks for Clearsnap).  I then used the coordinating spray in sky to spray on my card.  The sentiment is stamped in Licorice ink.  I added some ribbon banners and burlap twine at the top.

 I just love how this second card turned out!  I had to search high and low for a bubble wand in the middle of winter, but finally found one floating around on a garage shelf.  I know I will be making lots of party favors for upcoming birthdays with this set and bubbles!

This last card uses a sentiment from moregum4me and the gum4backgrounds set.  I went with a circle shape card and stamped some of the bubbles in the polka dot pattern.  I also covered the patterned bubbles with glossy accents to give them some shine.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

TSOL: You Blow Me Away!

Hello! Today I want to share a card using the newly released bubblegum4me from The Stamps Of Life.  I LOVE gum, so this may be one of my favorite sets to date! Love the sentiments, too!  I used one of Stephanie's circle Flip-it dies from Sizzix to create this card.  Flip-it cards are so much fun.  I used to try to make a similiar version many moons ago using a kraft knife.  One pass through my Big Kick and voila'! Done!  You can order these through Stephanie's site and get a great discount if you are a club member.  They are also available at Hobby Lobby! I saw them there last night. :)
The first photo shows the front or closed version of the Flip-it card.  I used some glossy accents on my bubblegum balls and colored the machine with copic markers.  The patterned paper is from My Mind's Eye.

This shows the card when open.  I stamped the 5 cents in Antique Linen distress ink to create the background.  The sentiment was stamped on a punched circle of matching patterned paper.  I plan on giving this to my little sis.  She is performing in a local production of Seusical The Musical soon.  I thought this would be great to give to her with a bag of gum goodies before the show.  She could share some of her loot with the rest of the cast and her girls after the show!

Thanks for stopping by!
