A Little Under the Sea with Quick Creations and CC Designs

Hello from the wintery white North! Lol.  It is super blustery here this week, which is a nice change from last week's super cold weather :)

I have created three cards for Quick Creations, using the same stamp set and ribbon :)

This stamp set is "Under the Sea" from CC Designs and I know Noelle has a couple left in her store!

The ribbon is from the Kaisercraft "Rock Pool" collection, as well as the paper in the first card.  Both of these are also available in the Quick Creations shop.

 Ok, tell me these cards didn't turn out super cute!  I watercolored these images using my Recollections watercolor markers on cold-pressed paper.  I fussy-cut some elements from the paper pad and layered them up with dimensional adhesive, added the ribbon bow on this one, and called it finished!

 The turtle is definitely a favorite, I've always liked turtles.  I watercolored him as well and popped him up on dimensional adhesive, added the watercolored bubbles to the background and added some "Rock Pool" ribbon to this card as well.

And the last one was just as fun.  I also watercolored the sea horse and more bubbles and also added some Quick Creations' "Mermaid Tales" sequins to this one.  This ribbon is also from the Kaisercraft "Rock Pool" collection.  Three different ribbons from the same set, and they are so cute!

All of the linked products are available in Noelle's online shop at Quick Creations, but she is closing her shop...so go and see what's left!  There are sale prices on many items!

Stay tuned for more inspiration coming up soon!

Fairy Lights with Santoro/Gorjuss and Quick Creations

Hello everyone :)  Are you feeling the Christmas spirit yet?  I'm still working on that one lol.  Hoping to get in the mood real soon, since it's already halfway through December :)  I still have to put up my tree, and wrap some presents.  I really dislike putting the lights on the tree, so last year I bought a fake tree that already has lights in it :)  I know, way to ruin the mood right lol.  What's your least favorite thing about decorating for Christmas?

So on that note, lol...here's a mini Gorjuss Christmas card for you featuring the Santoro/Gorjuss Mini "Fairy Lights" and Kaisercraft "Silver Bells" paper :)

You can find this stamp in Noelle Martin's online shop at Quick Creations.  Unfortunately she doesn't have any of the Kaisercraft "Silver Bells" paper left and it is discontinued, such a shame cuz this paper is gorgeous.  Do you want a tip about matching paper to your colored images?  Pick your paper before you color, then you can pick your colors accordingly and voila!

Thanks for stopping by, see you soon, and don't get too caught up in Christmas tree lights :)

Miss Anya Hats Off with Quick Creations

I have created a fun 'inspired' card for you this week, using The Greeting Farm's Miss Anya Hats.  Unfortunately, this stamp set is no longer available but Noelle Martin at Quick Creations has several other Miss Anya sets available :)

To complete this card, I used paper from the Kaisercraft "Fairy Dust" collection, Kaisercraft Mini Blooms in Coconut, the LDRS Creative Gilded Doily Die, Magnolia Doohickey Flowers dies and the sentiment and some bling from my stash.

I love how this card turned out, and it's much nicer even in person.  This stamp is one of my favorites of the Miss Anya sets, and unfortunately it's no longer available.  I have linked instead to the other Miss Anya sets that Noelle has in her shop at Quick Creations.

Stop by again soon for more fun inspiration!

Lala Land Crafts' Rose Faerie Marci with Quick Creations

Hello everyone, I hope you are all well and happy :)  I am so looking forward to spring, and it was almost here!  I say was...lol...because it happened again, like every year, it snowed again, just when the grass was beginning to show again.  A whole foot of snow!  Anyways, enough of my belly aching.

I have created a card using Rose Faerie Marci by Lala Land Crafts and some gorgeous Fairy Dust paper from Kaisercraft.

I was having so much fun with that gorgeous paper from Kaisercraft, that I couldn't stop at just this card, lol, so I CASed a recent card from Catherine Pooler and created this card :)

You can find the Rose Faerie Marci stamp from Lala Land Crafts and the Fairy Dust paper from Kaisercraft in Noelle Martins online shop at Quick Creations.

There is also a monthly challenge going on, and the theme is HEARTS!   Come and show us what you can come up with!

QC He Loves Me Not Tilda

Squeal!  I got to design with one of my favorite stamp companies for Noelle Martin over at Quick Creations.  I created this card using He Loves Me Not Tilda from Magnolia Stamps.  Isn't she just adorable!

I colored her with my Prismacolor Premiere Pencils in the following colors:

Hair:  PC997, 1082, 946, 1099
Skin:  PC927, 939, 1029
Bow:  PC1089, 1020, 1097
Dress:  PC1089, 1020, 1097
Flower:  PC1080, 1029, 948
Socks:  PC1089, 1020, 1097
Shoes:  PC946, 935

I completed this project with paper from Kaisercraft's Enchanted Garden collection (lush!), the Floral Ovals die set from Spellbinders, some dies from Marianne Designs, and paper blooms from Kaisercraft in Coconut, and some Prima paper leaves.

I love coloring Magnolia stamps, and they turn out so nice with colored pencils when coloring on hot press watercolor paper :)  This paper has just the right amount of tooth to hold the pencils.

You can this and several other Magnolia stamps in Noelle's online store at Quick Creations.  And don't forget to come and join in on the monthly challenge...this month's theme is anything goes!

Magnolia's Fantasy Flower Tilda with Quick Creations

I just love this Tilda, she is so sweet, and I decided to color her on hot press watercolor paper because I love the texture it gives the Prismacolor pencils.  Such a softness, and it suits the image in my opinion.  Noelle Martin has many Magnolia stamps in her shop at Quick Creations, but this one is called Fantasy Flower Tilda.

I colored her using my Prismacolor Pencils in the following colors:

Hair:  PC1070, 1072, 1076, 1082
Skin:  PC927, 939, 1029, 1082
Dress:  PC1019, 1017, 1029, 1082, 1051
Boots:  PC1082, 947, 948
Flowers:  PC1021, 1097, 988, 914, 940, 1012, 1034, 944

To complete this project I also used paper from the Kaisercraft Enchanted Garden 6.5' pad, Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Antique Linen, Petaloo flowers, a sentiment stamp from Stampin' Up, and a Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flourish die and CC Designs Vine Die.

Noelle is having an awesome sale in her shop right now, you should definitely check that out!

OOooooooo Butterflies!

How can you say no to beautiful butterflies, and after the long winter we've had, I am so looking forward to seeing them in real life :)  For Quick Creations this week, I made this Happy Day card and I really love how it turned out.

I used the Wild Rose Studio Butterfly Lace Die to create this card.

I cut two of the dies, and shaded one in the center and one on the outside edges with my Stampin' Up Island Indigo ink pad.  Then I glued them together in the center and popped up the two of them up with a dimensional adhesive.  The doilies are from Recollections.  I used one of the sentiments from the Time for Tea Ponytail Rubber Stamp, and the flowers are from Kaisercraft.  The papers are Prima "Butterfly" 6 x 6 paper pad.  I also used the Wild Rose Studio Butterfly Burst Die.  Most of these products (except for the Recollections Doilies) can be found in the Quick Creations online shop.  I have linked them all for you :)
