Take A Chance

I'm here today with the fourth and final image from the March release at Sassy Cheryl's.  This release sure has been a lot of fun.  I just love all of the images.

This card features the digital image of "Take A Chance".  I printed it onto Hammerill Color Copy and colored the image with Copic markers.  A wee bit of shading was done with Prismacolor pencils.  I fussy cut the image and placed on a white cardstock panel.  The strip of patterned paper you see along the side is from Recollections.  The sentiment was stamped with Versafine Onxy Black ink and is from an old MFT stamp set.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog.  I sure hope you've enjoyed the images as much as I have.  Now, head on over to Sassy Cheryl's and snag this image for $1 off, today from 9:00 AM Eastern Time for the next 24 hours.  Here's the special code CHANCE

I'm Here For You

The new release reveal continues at Sassy Cheryl's. 

Today, I'm sharing a card that features the new digital image "I'm Here For You".  I just love it.  I printed it onto Hammermill Color Copy and colored with Copic markers and did some shading with Prismacolor pencils.  Fearlessly, I fussy cut the image, lol.

On some white cardstock, I sponged Distress Inks (Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean).  I added a little SeaShells SeaShell pink dye ink as well.  A couple of spritzes of water.  I made the grass with a MFT die, and sponged with Distress Ink Peeled Paint.  I placed the white frame, cut from a MFT die, over the scene and placed the heartfelt Sassy Cheryl's image into the scene.  The sentiment was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink and is from MFT. 

If you want "I'm Here For You", you can get it at a discounted price today, over at Sassy Cheryl's.  Simply enter the code LOVEME

Please come back to my blog to see this in its entirety.  I'll have another discounted code as well. 

A Kind Heart

I'm back again today with another digital image from Sassy Cheryl's that is being released today.  It is called "A Kind Heart".

I printed the image onto Hammermill Color Copy and colored with Copic markers. Kinda fun to work in grays and then incorporate that pop of orange.  I used a sentiment from a very old MFT stamp set.

New Friendships

It's March 1st.  How is that possible?

With a new month comes a new release from Sassy Cheryl's.  Today I bring to you the new digital image called "New Friendships".  I printed it onto Hammermill Color Copy paper and colored it with Copic markers.  I did some shading and some detailing with Prismacolor pencils.  If you are wondering about how I did the raindrop effect...I simply took my Copic blender pen and randomly put big blobs all over my picture.  I'm kinda liking the effect.

This heartfelt image is available at a special discount over at Sassy Cheryl's from 9:00 AM Eastern until 9:00 AM tomorrow. Simply enter in the code  FRIENDS

I'll be back again with another new image tomorrow with a new code.  See you then!

Morning Blessings

A good Good Morning to you!  I hope it is fabulous wherever you may be.

I'm here today with the final image of this month's fantastic release from Sassy Cheryl's.  This image is called Morning Blessings.  It comes with several elements, though I only used the girl.  Go on over to Sassy Cheryl's to see all of the great things you get with this image.

For this card, I printed the girl from Morning Blessings onto X-Press It cardstock.  I colored the image with Copic markers and fussy cut.  I created some grass for her to sit on with a Gina Marie Designs die, sponging Adirondack Lettuce dye ink for the color.  I placed onto a cream colored cardstock, sponging some Sea Shells Peach Bellini nears the grass and some Sea Shells Conch Shell for the sun.  Some birds from a very old My Favorite Things stamp set were stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink.  A couple of Gina Marie Designs clouds were cut and added to the sky scene.  The sentiment is from Hero Arts and was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black.

This image is $1 off today until midnight with the code:  BLESS

If you want the entire release (all four fabulous digital stamps), use the code BUNDLE today to get $4 off.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog over the past four days.  I hope you enjoy these Sassy Cheryl's images as much as I am.

Easter Egg Overload

Today's card features the Sassy Cheryl's digital image that is being released today.  It is called Easter Egg Overload.  I colored the image with Copic markers after printing the image onto X-Press It cardstock.  The highlights on the eggs were accomplished with a white gel pen.  The sentiment was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black and is from A Jillian Vance Design.  The card panel is from a Recollections note card set.

You can get a $1 off this image today with the the following code:  EGG

Bosom Buddies

Even though it may still be quite cold outside, it is time for us to start thinking about spring and Easter.  Sassy Cheryl's has some adorable Easter images being released this week and this is one of them.  It is called Bosom Buddies.

I printed Bosom Buddies onto X-Press It cardstock and colored with Copic markers, along with some Prismacolor pencils shading.  I placed the image panel onto a scrap of patterned paper I've been hoarding for years (I have no clue who made it).  The sentiment is from A Jillian Vance Design and was stamped using Versafine Onyx Black.

Today's image is called Sound Advice.  I printed it onto X-Press It cardstock and colored it with Copic markers.  The sentiment is from Taylored Expressions and stamped with Distress Ink Brushed Corduroy.  I placed the image panel onto kraft cardstock that was stamped with an Impression Obsession background stamp also using Distress Ink Brushed Corduroy.  A button and tied twine put the finishing touches onto this card.

A Helping Hand

Just one more day until Sassy Cheryl's has all of these fabulous new digital images in her shop.

Today, I bring to you the fourth and final image.  It is called "A Helping Hand".  I printed it onto X-Press It cardstock and colored with Copic markers.  The side strip of patterned paper was simply a scrap I have been hoarding.  The heart was cut from a punch from this same scrap.  The sentiment is from an old There She Goes stamp set.  I thought it was appropriate to get out the Baker's Twine on this card since it looks like something wonderful is about to be whipped up.

And there you have it.  It has been a blast getting to show you the January release for Sassy Cheryl's.  Remember, it goes live tomorrow morning at 6:00 eastern.  This release will satisfy all of you Valentine's Day cardmaking needs, don't you think?! 

Forget Me Not and some Mischieveous Mice

Hello again!  And welcome to Day 2 of the January release from Sassy Cheryl's. 

Today, I get to share two more digital images from the release. 

The card above features the digital image of "Forget Me Not".  It will be available at 6:00 AM Eastern on Sunday, January 7.  This particular image was so much fun to color, especially that tree.  I printed the image onto X-Press It cardstock and colored the image with Copic markers.  The die "you" is from Taylored Expressions and "are loved" is from Simon Says Stamp.  The heart is a punch.

The next new image featured on the above card is called "Mischievous Mice".  Appropriate name, huh?  I printed the darling image onto X-Press It cardstock and colored with Copic markers.  The sentiment and the two coffee beans are from A Jillian Vance Design.

Tomorrow, I'll have one more card to share from the January release.  Here's a sneak peek....

Share and Share Alike

Get ready!  Sassy Cheryl's is releasing four new digital images.  They are so sweet and adorable.  You will want them all.

I am honored to share the first one with you.  It is called "Share and Share Alike".  It will be available for purchase at 6:00 AM Eastern on Sunday, January 7th. 

To make this card, I printed the image of "Share and Share Alike" onto X-Press It cardstock.  I colored the image with Copic markers.  The sentiment is from an old There She Goes stamp set and was stamped with Marvy Black dye ink.  I kept it rather CAS and just adhered the image panel to some kraft cardstock.  Sort of a vintage feel, if you will.

I'll be back again tomorrow with two more images from the release.  In the meantime, here's a tease for one of them...

Ya Don't Say

This cute digital image is a brand spankin' new one from Sassy Cheryl's.  It is called Ya Don't Say.   Perfect for Christmas, but I tried to show how this image can be extended into winter, hinting even at Valentine's Day on this one.

I printed Ya Don't Say onto Hammermill Color Copy.  I colored it with Copic markers.  I stamped some white snowflakes from Stamps By Judith using Hero Arts Unicorn Pigment ink and heat embossed.  I added a snow dusting with a white gel pen.  The sentiment is from A Jillian Vance Design and is white heat embossed onto a black sentiment flag.  The hearts are punched from a heart punch and colored with Copics. 

Thanks for stopping by the blog this weekend.  Hope you have a productive weekend.  I know I sure need one.

Love Is A Four Legged Word

Ho! Ho! Ho!  Nothing can be cuter than Santa and a puppy, right?!  This card features the digital image of Love Is a Four Legged Word from Sassy Cheryl's. 

I printed this card onto Hammermill Color Copy.  I masked the image of Santa using a masking pen and made the snow drift by masking with a Post It note.  I sponged some Distress Inks to make a blue sky.  I then removed the masks and colored the image with Copic markers.  The snow is simply dots from a white gel pen.

So I caved on Christmas cards this year.  Time hasn't been on my side.  Walgreen's Photo Cards to the rescue!  But, oh what a cute photo I have.  Seriously failed as a stamper though.

Wrapped Up in Love

I spent Sunday morning coloring this image. I was going to toss it because in the beginning it looked hideous.  But, I kept working it, and ended up loving the result. 

This card features the adorable digital image called Wrapped Up in Love by Sassy Cheryl.  I printed it onto Hammermill Color Copy and colored with Copic markers.  The white snowflakes are compliments of a white gel pen.  I scored around the image panel.

Thanks a bunch for visiting my blog today.  I sure appreciate that you take the time to look the cards I make.

Scarlet and Gray All the Way!

Happy Game Day!

This card features the adorable digital image called The Posers.  It is from Sassy Cheryl's. I do believe Cheryl know exactly how I was going to color this image, LOL.  I printed it onto Hammermill Color Copy and colored with Copic markers.  The football is an old image from PSX.  The patterned paper is from Scrapbook Customs.

GO BUCKEYES!!! Beat scUM!!!

Candy Cane Girl

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas and it's not even Thanksgiving.

Can't feel too guilty though coloring up this cutie from Sassy Cheryl's Candy Cane Love digital stamp set.  I printed the image onto Hammermill Color Copy paper and colored with Copic markers.  I carefully fussy cut the image and placed on a card panel with some candy cane striped Washi tape.  The sentiment is from A Jillian Vance Design.  Three red enamel dots complete the card.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog today!  I appreciate it!

Yappy Birthday

I just LOVE and adore this digital image from Sassy Cheryl's.  It is called Heartfelt Hands.  I've had it for a few months now and I am delighted that I had a chance to color it this past weekend.  I printed the image onto Hammermill Color Copy and colored it with Copic markers. 

The patterned paper is something I've hoarded for years.  It is from Kaisercraft.  The sentiment is from Taylored Expressions and was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black.

I'd like to think that is Sloopy and me (yes, I still see myself as that young, LOL).  I plan on giving this to my Dad later this month.

Thanks for stopping by the blog today!

Cupcake Fun

I have a couple cards to share with you today, both of which use an adorable image from Sassy Cheryl's Cupcake Fun digital stamp set. 

The card shown above was printed onto X-Press It cardstock and colored with Copic markers and Prismacolor pencils.  I framed the image with black cardstock and placed onto a scrap of patterned paper.

The card below uses the same image, though printed smaller onto X-Press It cardstock.  I colored the image with Copic markers.  I made a bow with a die from A Jillian Vance Design. The sentiment is also from A Jillian Vance Design.  A few sequins complete the details on this card.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog today.  Another post tomorrow.

Bee-Cause I Care

How sweet is this little bee?  She is a newer digital image from Sassy Cheryl's called Whoopsie Daisy.

To make this card, I printed the image onto Hammermill Color Copy paper.  I then printed the image again onto a scrap piece of cardstock and fussy cut so that the second image could act like a mask.  After masking the image I used a stencil with hexagons to sponge Distress Ink Wild Honey for a background.  I removed the mask and colored the sweet image with Copic markers. 

The sentiment is from Darcie's Heart and Home and was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog today. 

Boo!

Can I just stay home all month and make Halloween cards?  Please.  Pretty please.  Its my favorite card making season of all because of the fun color pairings.

This card features an oldie but goodie digital image from Sassy Cheryl's Pumpkins and Ghosts digital stamp set.  I printed it onto Hammermill Color Copy and colored with Copic markers.  The strip along the base of the card is some scrap I've been hoarding for many years.  Seemed like it was meant to be on this card.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog today!
