LBBS Digi Release

Hi Guys, I totally apologize for this late post.  I finished my project and with the busy-ness of the holidays I forgot to make a video and schedule my post.  So better late than never here is the super cute card I made for the release with Miss Lily Cupcake 2 - unfortunately I will not have a video for this one - sorry.


I coloured Miss Lilly up with my copies and added some patterned paper from the My Minds Eye My Girl collection.  I also used my Impression Obsession die for the Happy Birthday sentiment off the side of the paper.

The paper flowers and pearls are from my stash - which is growing like crazy - I think it is time to do some cleaning =)

She turned out so adorable.  Head on over to the Little Blue Button Blog and store to see the other project which were made and get the new digi's.

Happy Papercrafting! Sarah

Release Day - October Digi's for LBBS!!

Today is release day for digi stamps at Little Blue Button Stamps.

I got to play with Happy Charlie - and she is very happy!!  She reminded me of school so I decided to make a mini album in a tin for school memories.  I used the Old School stack from DCWV and a CD tin from my Stampin Up! days.

I wanted to make her a little more "geeky" so I added some die cut glasses from impression obsession - so cute!!


Here is a quick look at the mini in on the inside, it is just a simple mini to keep it thin.  Take a look at my youtube channel for a look at the rest of the mini.

And head on over the the LBBS Blog to see all the new digi's released for October =)  And hop on over to the store to buy your own =)

Creative Wednesday - LBBS Digi DT

Welcome to Creative Wednesday with Little Blue Buttons Stamps!!!

Today I am playing with Miss Lilly Chef - she is super cute.  I decided to decorate a treat box with her using the Dear Lizzie Neapolitan paper collection.

Here is the tutorial to make the box from Bona at LiveLoveScrap - Here!



The treat box is a great way to gift anything as it is a really good size and it only takes two 12x2 pieces of paper to make - super fast and easy.  Once I put everything together I sprayed it all with Scintillating Silver from Lindy's Stamp Gang.

Head over to Little Blue Button stamps to get your own digi's and check out the blog for more Creative Wednesday projects from the other DT members.


Here are the Copic colours I used the colour in Miss Lilly Chef - so pretty!

Canvas Sign for Not2Shabby

So, today I was playing around with my only Magnolia stamp - Here I am Tilda.  She is super cute, I love the way she is peeking around the corner, so I decided to put her on a sign and have her peeking around a frame.

To get your own Magnolia stamps and more head over to Not2Shabby on Zibbet.

I used a canvas mini album page from Michaels $1.50 bin and put some texture past on with a Crafters Workshop stencil - Mini Specimens.  I then sprayed it with Lindy's Stamp Gang - Alpine Ice Rose and Milk Chocolate Brown.  The edges are inked with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.


I just love how it turned out - so pretty.  Check out my youtube channel for some close ups and further details on the items used.  Below are the Copics used to colour in Tilda.

Creative Wednesday - LBBS

Welcome to Creative Wednesday with Little Blue Button Stamps.

Today I got to play with Rocker Charlie who is so super cool.   I decided to make a card and of course I had to use stars with this super rock star!

I love how she turned out.  I found some black rhinestone Want 2 Scrap bling that was star shaped to go with the star spellbinders.  The patterned paper is from DCWV.

Head on over to LBBS and check out the other projects for Creative Wednesday and head over to my youTube channel for a video of this card.



Here are the copic colours that I used to colour Rocker Charlie - I also used a silver gel pen to accent her boots, guitar and earrings.

Playing Around with Distress Markers

I was playing around with my new stamps and decided to colour one with my Tim Holtz Distress Markers.  I used the image Oak Tree Girl from Whimsy Stamps, she is so adorable.

I did not keep track of the colours used as I was playing with them.  I recommend you make a chart to show what the colours look like with and without water as they can be totally different.



I finished off the card with some Prima bling, a die cut doily and some acrylic leaf gems.  The lilies are from Wild Orchid Crafts which I purchased at Not2Shabby.  And of course the fall leaves are some that I have been hoarding in my stash from Michaels.


I love how the card turned out and it is really helping me look forward to fall =)

Using your Halloween Stamps in Other Ways...

So, everyone knows that I love Halloween and I especially love Halloween stamps but I wanted to show you how you can use your Halloween stamps for projects that are not Halloween.

I decided to make a room sign for my son who then decided he wants to hang it on the craft room door.  So there are only monsters allowed in the craft room!!


I used some chipboard to make the sign and then cut out two pieces shaped like wood - all three pieces were covered with patterned paper from DCWV and inked with Vintage Photo distress ink.  I also used some brads that have screw heads on them and distressed them with black ink to bring out the design.  I used the four little monsters from the Greeting Farm Spooky Kit which you can get the Not2Shabby on Zibbet.


I just love how it turned out - very simple to make too =)
Here are the copic markers I used for each of the little monsters.

Greeting Farm Tags

I received my new Greeting Farm stamps last week - the Spooky Kit and the last batch of Super Secret Stamp Club - woohoo!!  They are so super cute, we inked them up and started colouring right away.  So then what to do with those coloured images.  I haven't made tags in such a long time so I decided to pull out the manilla shipping tags and Tim Holtz Distress Ink and get dirty - hehe.

Here are my tags and Copic colours used to colour the images - to see them up close and more details please check out my youtube channel.

Little Blue Button Stamps - September Digi Release Today!

Today is release day for Little Blue Button Digi Stamps, and I am so excited to say that I am a member of the new Digi Design Team =)  Yah me!!

For this release I got the chance to play with the new digi stamp called Mixed Media - it is so cool, I decided to make a mixed media canvas.  I printed the digi out on some patterned paper and then coloured it up with my Copic Markers.  I printed a couple extra images of the flower that is in her hair so that I could colour them and shape them.  I layered it with hot glue to make a 3D flower in her hair and added some other flowers from Petaloo and Recollections all around. 


In each of the clusters I added some metal gears and embellishments and some mini dominoes and mini light bulbs.  



Here is the flower from the image that I made 3D and added some stamen coming from the bottom. 


In this close up you can see the sparkle and shine from the Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays that I used on the background.  I started with an empty canvas and used a couple different stencils with some home made texture paste - really love how it turned out, the texture past soaked in the brown colours from the sprays and the purple and blue mica stayed around all the edges - so beautiful.


Check out my youtube channel for a close up look of the canvas.  
And definitely check out LBBS  to pick up your own digi's, and check out the blog for other DT members projects.

Happy Papercrafting!
