Steampunk Halloween at SBS

It's a Steampunk Halloween over at Simply Betty Stamps today....and tomorrow!  Today we bring you the first four images of the new Steampunk Halloween line.  This will be the last Halloween line from SBS this year.  Now don't get sad.   Thanksgiving and Christmas will be here before you know it.  Here are my creations:


Draco the Ghost Gent


Jacob the Werewolf
(sorry Bianca...no Taylor Lautner here)

Gillian

Vampiress Bella

Aren't these images awesome!  Some of my shadows didn't show up in the pictures.  I am going to ask Santa for a new camera.  I hope he comes through for me.  I used a variety of papers.  Mostly Reminisce, KCG (I think) & Anna Griffin.  I used a die from Marianne Designs and one from Cuttlebug.  Punches are from Tonic and EK. 

Betty, the Queen of Halloween, will be offering these stamps in rubber only starting tomorrow...but, if you comment on all the DT blogs you will have a chance to win a digi of one of these great images.  All the details are posted on SBS.  Make sure you comment everywhere.  She will be picking 4 winners.  Good luck and Happy Haunting.

Thanks for stopping by.

FALL IS IN THE AIR

Today is Fabulous Freebie Friday for Sassy Studio Designs on Paper Craft Planet.  Our theme for this week is Fall is in the Air.  This beautiful image is available for all followers today.  Just head over there and get your own image.  I colored mine with Copics.  The leaf paper is from Reminisce.  I used an embossing folder on the green paper along with a little SU ink.  My fall stash is very limited.  I was glad I at least had the leaf paper.  As usual, my yellow-naped Amazon Sydney helped me with this card.  She ripped paper until she wore herself out. 

Make sure you head over to PCP and get your image while it is available.  Thanks for stopping by.

Sassy French Maid


It is preview day 2 at Sassy Studio Designs.  Today is my turn and I am happy to present the French Maid.  She is just one of the many new images coming up in the first of 2 Halloween releases.  There will also be a Halloween Hop on September 17th.  I can't wait.  It is going to be so much fun.  Hope to see you there.

FYI...my husband loved this image. 

HALLOWEEN ZOMBIE INVASION

It is time for another FABULOUS release from Simply Betty Stamps.  This time it's Zombies!!!  Here are the first three:

Trick or Treatin' Miller

Fairy Princess Rio

Spider Queen London

Aren't these just creepy and awesome?  I colored them all with Copics. I am going to have to work on coloring bones though.  They show through here and there. I tried to add greens & purples to the skin but I don't think you can see it too well in the pictures.  These were so much fun to work with.  Betty never disappoints! There will be more tomorrow so please come back. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Black, White and Whatever You Want



We have another great challenge for you at 2 Sisters Challenge.  This time it is all about black and white....and one other color of your choice.  Sounds easy right?  Well for me it was.  I was given this beautiful image from Pattie's Creations which is one of our sponsors this week.  The other sponsor is Glitterbabe.  I thought this image was perfect.  Since the vase is a top hat, black was taken care of.   I made this card for my sister Robin's birthday (which is today) and she likes red with black and white so I was set.  I colored the image with Copics.

The red cardstock is generic as is the black, except for around the image.  That was from the infamous box-o'-scraps but I can't remember which company it was from.  I know I promised to be on top of this from now on but since this was existing in the box I am giving myself some slack.  Organization for me must be done in baby steps.  The brads and sentiment are from SU.   I ran the white through my Big Shot with an embossing folder.  I love the way it came out.

This challenge fell on the perfect day.  Robin won't get to see this post until her actual birthday.  Happy Birthday Robin.  Notice that I didn't call you that name you hate?  Robin is new to papercrafting and just started her own blog.  Please hop over to Robin's Reflections and give her a little encouragement.

Also, please hop over to 2 Sisters Challenge and check out the fabulous creations from the rest of the design team.  And don't forget to enter!

Thanks for stopping by.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SARAH!!!

Hi everyone and welcome to another Dare to be Sassy Thursday!  This week's Sassy Studio Designs Challenge is the 4Bs...buttons, bows, brads & bling!!!!   I have chosen to use the SSD Tinkerbell Honey.  She is soooo stinkin' cute.  I replaced her wings with glitter coated acetate.  Word to the wise, glitter cracks off the acetate after it dries.

My little friend Sarah is turning 6 and she asked for a Tinkerbell card.  I offered this little girl invitations, cupcakes with puppy faces on them, party favors, a chocolate dessert table and whatever else she wanted.  She said no thank you.  I just want you to make me a Tinkerbell card.  What a kid!!!

Now for my Bs.  My Bow is from my scraps, my Buttons are cute little flowers, my Brads on are opposite corners & my Bling is green gems by the flowers.  I hope you like it.  More importantly, I hope Sarah likes it.  Please pop over to SSD and join in the challenge.  I can't wait to see what you come up with.

Additional items used:  Fiskars grass border punch, Hero Arts cloud stamp, SU ink, baker's twine & SU scalloped punch.

Thanks for stopping by.

It is my pleasure to offer you this beautiful image for FREE.  I colored mine with Copics.  I went a little out of my comfort zone with this.  I usually use lots of bright colors but not this time.  I used amazing Anna Griffin copper papers for the background.  Love love love Anna Griffin!  I just wish the picture came out better.

FRIENDS


 

Good morning everyone.  2 Sisters Challenge brings you friends today.  We are sponsored by Stitchy Bear Stamps.  I am using this adorable ballerina friends image from Sylvie's Stamps.  It is just so sweet.  I colored these little cuties with Copic markers.  The background paper is from K & Co.  The rest is just generic cardstock.  I used a Fiskars border punch and my corner chomper.  I apologize for the extremely short post but it is late and I have had quite a long day. 

I hope you will play along with us this week.  I think friends is a super challenge theme.  You can do just about anything.  Thanks so much for stopping by and please hop over to 2 Sisters and check out what the rest of the Design Team has created for your inspiration..

THE REST OF THE GANG!

Back to School Betty 

 

Mad Scientist Christian


Prom Queen Rio

And now for the rest of the Simply Betty bunch.  Isn't this just an awesome line?!  These cuties would work for so many different occasions.  I colored them all with Copics, again while watching TV.  I really need to stop doing that and concentrate.  It takes me so much longer than it should to get anything done.  The designer papers are all from my box-o'-scraps.  I used my MS Drippy Goo punch on the first two.  Nothing too fancy on these.  I wanted the images to be the stars.

Please stop over and check out all the details at Simply Betty Stamps.  I know you all want a chance to win one of today's newbies right? Then don't forget to leave a comment at Simply Betty or on our DT blogs.  You never know where Betty will go to pick the winner from... so why risk it.... leave some loving where you can!


Don't forget about our awesome challenges! You can find them at Simply Betty Challenges.  The more participants the more the prizes we will have to offer!
Thanks for stopping by.

GOING BACK TO SCHOOL WITH SIMPLY BETTY STAMPS

Artist London

Pile of Books Miller


Sporty Lola

It's another awesome Preview Day at Simply Betty Stamps.  Today we bring you Artist London, Pile of Books Miller and Sporty Lola.  Aren't they just super!!!!  I colored them all with Copics.  London is my favorite.  I kind of turned her into me.  I put a little Macaw on her canvas.  I have parrots and I thought they would like this.  I used generic papers and a swiss dot embossing folder on the London card.  I taped the easel down but popped London up with SU dimensionals.

For Miller, I used crayon paper from Reminisce.  I kept him nice and simple since I loved the paper so much.  Lola gave me a little grief.  Well, it was my fault, not her fault.  I tried to color her and watch TV at the same time.  I can usually do that with no problem but my niece Bianca and I were watching a marathon of Breaking In we had recorded.  We watched the entire season in one afternoon.  At least I finally finished Lola.

Please visit Simply Betty Stamps and check out what the rest of the design team has done and get all the new release details.  Tomorrow we will  have the rest of the images for you.  And don't forget to enter the current challenges at Simply Betty Challenges.  Thanks for stopping by.

Boys Toys


Hi everyone.  Today I am delighted to bring you Bob the Builder.  The 2 Sisters Challenge Design Team was asked to use any image to create a "Boys Toys" project.  I chose Bob because he is a favorite of my nephew Nathan.  I found this adorable image on an online coloring page and printed it out.  I colored him with Copics, cut him out and popped him up with SU dimensionals.  I kept the paper simple, Red, Yellow & Blue.  I added some hinges I got from Oriental Trading.  I got the brads from there as well.  I hope Nathan likes it. 

We are sponsored by Stamp Fairy today so please check out 2 Sisters Challenge for all the details.  Thanks for stopping by.
