Sister Stamps Release #19, Day 3 - Mochi Pounding!

Happy Halloween and welcome back to Day 3 of Sister Stamps Release #19! No tricks here, just a little sweet treat I made for Jenny of Sister Stamps.   I didn't want to make another treat box, so since I knew that Jenny was doing Project Life (PL), I decided to make a 4x6 PL card using this stamp called MOCHI POUNDING!  Even though Jenny's family doesn't pound mochi, I know she'll find a way to incorporate this card into her PL album.  Right Jenny?  Heehee!  Now, as easy as this project looks, it was a little difficult for me.  You see, I haven't done simple stamping and coloring on cardstock as a project for a while.  I mean, I always stamp and color my images, but I usually cut them out and use them on a project.  THIS image WAS the project!  Know what I mean?  The only embellishments I used were the two sakura flowers on Mieko's kerchief and the glossy accents I used on the mochi.  I was so careful coloring up this project because if I made a mistake, I would have to start the project all over again!  Yikes!  Also, in case Jenny wants to use this PL card for a different project, I didn't add any sentiments to the card.  Anyway, I'm very proud of how this card turned out.  What do you think?

 

Can you see the glossy accents on the mochi?  I really like the way it turned out.

Do you feel like having some mochi yet?  I do ... especially the peanut butter mochi.  It's sooo good!  Please don't forget to stop by the DT members blogs:  Debi, Eva, Special Guest Designer Cyndi, and of course the Sister Stamps Blog, for more mochi samplings. 

Finally, I'd like to say thanks so much again for visiting my blog and YouTube channel, and leaving your comments.  I really appreciate them all!  For another look at this project and a chance to win this stamp, please check out my YouTube video here and leave a comment.  I hope you all have a safe and Happy Halloween!  As for me, I'm expecting approximately 500-600 trick or treaters this year.  Yep, you read that right!  The candies and pretzels we give out might last 45 minutes if we're lucky ... wish me luck!  Until next time, take care and stay safe.

Sister Stamps Release #19, Day 2 - Mieko

Welcome back to Day 2 of Sister Stamps Release #19!  I hope you're enjoying all the projects the DT members have made - all I know is it makes me want to eat some mochi!  Yummy!  So, for today's project, I'm using little miss MIEKO.  Isn't she the cutest?!?  I love how her mouth looks like she's eating the mochi balls!  AND, I decided to make another treat holder!  It's an oldie but goodie that's super easy to make.  Remember this one?  It looks like a mini clutch purse ...

 

Here's Mieko, close up.  I just wanna pinch her cheeks!

For a better look at my treat holder, please check out my YouTube video here.  Remember, if you want a chance to win Mieko, you need to leave a comment on my video!  Now, if you haven't already done so, be sure you stop by the blogs of these talented ladies - Debi, Eva, Special Guest Designer Cyndi, and of course the Sister Stamps Blog - for more mochi fun!  I hope you'll come back tomorrow to see the last image of Release #19.  Until then, take care and enjoy some mochi!

Sister Stamps Release #19, Day 1 - Hideo

Happy New Year!  What?  Is it 2014 already?  Well, not quite yet, but it's never too early to start preparing, right?  Well, in that case, welcome to Sister Stamps Release #19!  I can't believe it's almost the end of 2013 - where did this year go?  Well, to end this year and start 2014, Sister Stamps is releasing some super cute New Years images!  This first image I'm using is called HIDEO.  Look at him eating his yummy mochi!  Isn't he cute?!?  I decided to make a treat holder for some New Years goodies.  I totally copied Bona's Halloween treat bags but did a little something different.  After stamping, coloring and fussy cutting him, I popped him up on a Japanese lantern chipboard piece from the Bo Bunny Serenity collection.  The treat holder is also made with paper from that collection.

Side view of the treat holder ...

The flap of the holder in the open position ...

So, if you know what Bona's original treat bag looked like, you'll know what I did to make this holder different.  If you don't know, take a look at my YouTube video here. While you're there, be sure to leave a comment on the video and you just might be the lucky winner of Hideo!

Be sure to check out the other talented ladies and their projects:  Debi, Eva, Special Guest Designer Cyndi, and of course the Sister Stamps Blog! 

I hope you'll be back tomorrow to see what I've created with another cutie chowing down on some sweet mochi!  Until then, take care! 

Sister Stamps Chinese Zodiac Collection - Dragon

Happy Monday! This is the final image from the Sister Stamps Chinese Zodiac Collection! Can't believe it's almost been a year - the time sure is flying by as I get older. As promised, here is the ATC holder I made for all the AT cards I've made with the past Zodiac signs. I made it with the wonderful WRMK Envelope Punch Board.

You'll have a better look at the holder if you watch my video, linked below.  It's a simple project, but I'm really happy with the way it turned out. Thanks for stopping by today and be sure to check out the other projects from the Sister Stamps blog, and from these talented ladies - Patti, Eunice, and Laura. Again, Jenny will be giving away this stamp to one lucky viewer of my YouTube Video!  Be sure to check it out here and leave a comment on my video.  Hopefully I'll have the winners video up by Wednesday, October 2nd.  Good luck to all and until next time, happy crafting and take care!

Sister Stamps Chinese Zodiac Collection - Rabbit

I can't believe this is the second to the last image for the entire Chinese Zodiac Collection!  Well, here we go ... here is another ATC card I made for Jenny.  I'm actually missing two ATCs, since I didn't do the last Zodiac release.  I'll be sure to post those when I'm done.   This cutie is the Year of the Rabbit image.  Isn't she a cutie? 

I had to take this picture to show that I actually cut out her whiskers.  I'm definitely not hating cutting as much as I used to.  *wink*  Thanks for stopping by today and be sure to check out the projects from the Sister Stamps blog, and from these wonderful ladies - Patti, Eunice, and Laura.

As always, Jenny will be giving away this stamp to one lucky viewer of my YouTube Video!  Be sure to check it out here and leave a comment on my video!  If you don't win, you can purchase this stamp starting on October 1st.  I'll see you tomorrow with the last Chinese Zodiac image, and the ATC holder that I decided to make to hold all the ATCs!  

Just A Few Designs, Release #2 - Devlyn

Happy Saturday everyone!  I'm sure glad it's the weekend, aren't you?  If you're hopping along with us today, you should've come here from Suzie's blog.  If not, be sure to start at Elsa's blog here.  Today I'm sharing another stamp from Elsa's Just A Few Designs Release #2, and her name is DEVLYN!  She is another sexy mama, don't you think?  I'm really happy with the way my card turned out.  It's a very simple layout.  The base is a black 4x6 card, layered with orange card stock and polka dotted designer paper.  The next layer is a piece of black card stock which I punched with the MS broken fence punch.  To that layer, I added some twine and a Pink Paislee Halloween flair.  Devlyn was stamped, colored with Copics, cut out and popped up on the card.  Finally, I added two glitter sticker bats on the right corner of the card.

Close up of Devlyn ...

I had a lot of fun making this card too.  Feel free to check out my YouTube video here for some rambling and more shots of this card.  Thanks for stopping by today and be sure to continue the hop by going to Michelle's blog here.  Until next time, happy crafting and take care.

Just A Few Designs, Release #2 - Venom

Hey everyone!  Welcome to Just A Few Designs Release #2 blog hop!  This month, Elsa is showcasing her Halloween stamps!  You should've come here from Suzie's blog, but in case you didn't, be sure to start at Elsa's blog here.  Anyhoo, I don't normally do anything for Halloween since my son is all grown up now.  However, I loved making this card using "VENOM"!  She is part of the Halloween stamp release and she is quite the vixen!  My card is 5x7 and is layered with black and orange cardstock, and the patterned paper came in my DT package from Elsa. That paper was perfect to use on this card, right? After stamping Venom, I colored her with my Copics, cut her out and popped her up with some pop dots. I added a strip of spiders at the top and a strip of mice on the bottom, both were punched using MS border punches. The BOO sentiment was also in my DT package.  Finally, I added the flying ghost and the purple hat buttons to finish off the card.

Close up of Venom ...

Isn't she gorgeous? I really like the way this card turned out. You can check out my YouTube video here.  Thanks for stopping by and hopping with The Sassy 6!  Now, please head on over to Michelle's blog to see what she's created! Be sure to come back next week to see another fabulous image from Elsa's Just A Few Designs Release #2! Until then, take care.
