Hi Stampers!
This is Summer by Saturated Canary, one of my current favourite line of stamps to colour. The paper is "Ready Set Go" 6" x 6" paper pad by Amy Tangerine for American Crafts. I love the bright pretty colours in this paper! And orange has always been one of my faves. The jewels are by Magnolia and the flowers are from my stash. I used my Tim Holtz tool to twirl the ends and adhesive dots to adhere them to the card. The sentiment is from Paper Smooches (my absolute go-to sentiment stamps).
Windy is stamped on X-Press It paper, cut out with a Spellbinders Nestabilities label die, and inked with Antique Linen distress ink (my standard technique).
I've coloured her with Copics, and added little touches of white gel pen as well as Copic Atyou Spica pens.
Happy Stamping!

Hi Stampers!
This is Windy Day by Saturated Canary, one of my current favourite line of stamps to colour. The paper is "Ready Set Go" 6" x 6" paper pad by Amy Tangerine for American Crafts. I love the bright pretty colours in this paper! And orange has always been one of my faves. The metal embellishment is a Bo Bunny trinket and the flowers are from my stash.

Hello Stampers!
I'm pretty sure that most of you know what this card refers to. If not, you'll want to Google "50 Shades of Grey" to find out!
I haven't been into the store in a little while, but was there today teaching a Copic 101 class. SO much fun - as always! And a great chance to catch up on the new stuff!
I could NOT resist this stamp (which comes as a set of two actually) because it will be PERFECT for all my girlfriends!!
The stamp is by Saturated Canary, called "Grey Tie/ Under Contract". The paper has been in my drawer for a little while. I needed grey tones for obvious reasons! It is Country Boutique by Fancy Pants Designs, 6" x 6" pad.
I've coloured Christian with my Copics. And I added a few little extra embellishments. The tie was cut with my Silhouette Cameo, and I cut my image out with a Spellbinders Nestabilities die.
Happy Stamping!

Hello Stampers!
Here is another one of my projects with my brand new Saturated Canary stamps! I've been looking at these online for ages, so was thrilled to get to colour them up now that we have them at SGD!
This is "Wendy"! She is stamped on XPress It with Memento ink in Rich Cocoa (my favourite!). She is coloured with Copics, and die cut with my Spellbinders Nestabilities. While still in the die, I inked up the image with my favourite Tim Holtz distress ink in Antique Linen. This is my go-to colour!
I've used an old punch to cut out some corner tabs. And I've used my "Seeing Spots" Cuttlebug embossing folder - which is apparently all the rage again lately! We can't keep this thing on the shelves, wild.
This paper is one of the newest releases from My Mind's Eye, "Come Away With Me". I LOVE a new 6x6 pad!
I have to say, I've never been a ribbon girl - but I think that is because I needed some lessons, badly! Thankfully, BFF Andrea to the rescue - with some "Bow-Easy" lessons, and here we are! Ribbons! I have to say, I'm liking them!
Happy Stamping!

Hello Stampers!
Hard to believe that summer is nearly over. Back to school time is here! This weekend has been all about school supplies and new shoes in my house. My soon-to-be third grader is pretty excited!
This is my FIRST fall project of the year! I wait as long as I can every year, because I love summer so much especially all the bright colours.
This little beauty is one of our brand new line, Saturated Canary, that we ordered at CHA Chicago. This is "Autumn". Isn't she sweet? Those of us who took Suzanne Dean's Copic class on hair the other weekend had fun learning some techniques on these cute stamps.
She is stamped on XPress It with Memento ink in Rich Cocoa (my favourite!).
I've inked the edges with some Tim Holtz distress inks (old paper, frayed burlap, brushed corduroy) using the distress tool. I've used my Viva Decor pearl pen in bronze to add some accents.
Happy Stamping!
