So Suzy Stamps February 2016 Challenge

Hello everyone!!  I’m here with So Suzy Stamps and our second challenge for 2016!!!

Check out our new challenge:

Color of Love

Check out my mini notepad:

Hello Crafty friends (SSS)

Now let me tell you something before I start on how I created this card!!  I love the new stencils and brushes Suzy has in her store!!

They are called the Clarity Stencils and Clarity Brushes!!  They work wonders together!! Check out this quick video I posted on Instagram so you can see some of what I did.

After applying the ink on my Recollection White Card-stock, I trimmed it down to fit on the front of the Recollection Black Card-base.

Then I stamped So Suzy Stamp new Hello Crafty Friends stamp that is available today, on the front panel using Versafine Black Ink.

The black card base was cut to 4.50 x 8.50, scored at 4.50 and 4.

Inside

On the inside, I adhered a purple post-it note pad.

I stamped the corners of the post-it note using So Suzy Stamps Smile Stamp set.

I added Your Next Stamp Clear Gumdrops to finish the card off.

Nice, pretty and easy to create.

So Suzy Stamp January 2016 Challenge

Happy New Year Everyone!!!

Hello everyone!!  I’m here with So Suzy Stamps and our first challenge for 2016!!!  I can’t believe this!!  It feels like 2015 was just starting.

Check out our new challenge:

So Suzy Stamps challenge

Check out my card:

I'm sorry (SSS)

I’m super excited about this card!!  I’m super proud of myself and this coloring!!  I used the Derwent Inktense Pencils to coloring my image in!!

This new stamp is called Surf Shack!!  I love it for a couple of reasons.

  1. Its a pretty big stamp with plenty of space to color!
  2. It reminds me of the beach which is a super fun place to spend time at during the summer.

Here is how I created this card:

  1. I stamped the image on watercolor paper and used Intense pencils to color the image in.
  2. The colors are Iron Blue 0840, Deep Blue 0850, Oak 1730, Saddle Brown 1740, Burnt Orange 0260, Tangerine 0300, Mustard 1700, Amber 1710, Indian Ink 2020, and Chinese Ink 2030.
  3. Once my piece dried, I proceed to have my Brother Scan and Cut cut out the image but the watercolor paper wouldn’t stick to my mat, so I had to fussy cut the image out.
  4. I used Lil’inker designs Quilted Stitched Pattern Cover Plate to die cut the front panel of the card.
  5. I stamped the So Suzy Stamps I’m Sorry stamp using Versafine Black ink.
  6. I added foam tape to the front panel and the cut out stamped image.

Take a closer look:

I'm Sorry closeup (SSS)

What do you think?  So are you asking why the sentiment says, I’m Sorry.  Well, some of you are dealing with snow, cold weather and storms.  Here in NY, its seasonable warm, it feels like summer.  This one time I get to brag about not being cold!! LOL!!

Let me know what you think and I can’t wait to see what you create!!

Here is how I created this card:

  1. I stamped the present randomly on my card panel using My Favorite Things Hybrid Ink. 
  2. Then I stamped another present and used my Brother Scan and Cut 2 to cut it out.  I used Copic Marker: V06, Y02, Y15, Y19 to color my image in.
  3. I adhered the present to the card panel using foam tape.
  4. After that I used Lawn Fawn Scripty Joy Die to cut out the sentiment three times out of fun foam.

Check out the card I created for this challenge:

Thank you release

This is just the beginning!!  The rest of the Design Team created some amazing projects featuring some of the new stamps as well. Check out Suzy’s blog.

Creating this card was rather simple.  It’s a matter of layering the cardstock and pattern paper.

The amazing thing about this particular stamping is the repetitiveness of the it.  To achieve that I used my Misti tool!!  I have to say, this tool really comes in handy for me when doing stamping like this.

Take a look:

Misti stamping

I used So Suzy Stamps Dress Form to create this repeated stamping.

I used So Suzy Stamp Thank You to stamp my sentiment using Hero Arts Ombre Butter to Orange Ink.

I attached my layers with adhesive. I added Pretty Pink Posh 4mm Sparkling Clear Sequin and 6mm of Sparkling Clear Sequins to my card front.

I rounded the corners of my card panels with my We R Memory Keepers Corner Chomper.

Nice and easy!!! Now its your turn and I can’t wait to see what you come up with!!!
