Stacy's Paper Crafts

Home & Heart

PaperTrey Ink, The Angel Company, & Basic Grey = happiness :) I love these companies. They always offer something that inspires me to create. This patterned paper makes me really happy. We recently moved further north (still in Maryland) so we're expecting a lot more snow this year :) This paper is going to be perfect for "snowy day" layouts. 

Supplies:

Stamps: PTI & TAC
Paper: Basic Grey & TAC cardstock
Ink: Palette Noir & L'Amore red ink pads
Other:     mini button, scrappers floss, & an edge distresser

Happy Thanksgiving

I soooo love this stamp set by PTI. It's been on my wish list for a long time. I used SU's Pumpkin Pie & Really Rust inks to give the flower an earthy fall feel. Hope you're having a great day! 

Supplies:

Stamps:    TAC & PTI
Paper: Basic Grey PP, TAC US white CS, SU Pumpkin Pie & Really Rust CS
Other: SU Pumpkin Pie & Really Rust ink pads, Palette Jardin Moss ink pad
     edge distresser, & 3 gold mini brads

Did you miss me?

I missed YOU :) Man it's been awhile since I had a chance to create. Our move went well! We're still unpacking and getting things settled but things are going great! 

I really wanted to create something today so I pulled out this image I colored a few weeks ago before I boxed up my scrap stuff. It feels good to be back in the swing of things :)

Supplies:

Stamps: The Angel Company's Be Square & PTI Polka Dot Background
Paper: DCWV, Kraft, & White cardstock
Other: Bitty Blossom, brown button, white scrappers floss, Prismacolor colored pencils & baby oil, Palette Noir ink

July Angel Art: Replinish your stash

Hi all! For this month's Angel Art we'll be showcasing cards that we've created to add to our stash. The summer months are so busy and it's a challenge for some of us to find time to sneak away from the kiddos to create so it's always convenient to have a few cards on hand when you need them. I have to warn you... I used a lot of yellow cardstock :)

These first two cards feature images from TAC's new set called Skinny Birds. Thanks Laurie for the images :)

This birdy looks so sad I thought it would make the perfect "I'm sorry" card.

Stamps: Skinny Birds, Ordinary Greetings

Paper: Yellow, orange, & white 

Color: Palette Noir ink, watercolor crayons, & blender pen

Other: Floral embellie, button, white scrappers floss

_{^{This card features one of my favorite floral images. It's so easy & fun to color! Both the image & sentiment are from TAC's Forever Friends stamp set. I used an image from TAC's Floral Dingbats stamp set to create the background image. I stamped the image repeatedly overlapping the images in some areas. Here's a close up view...}}

PTI Stamps

I've been neglecting them... shame on me I know! I do use Mixed Messages and Polka Dot Basics all the time but I have a couple more sets that haven't used it much so I'm dusting them off and putting them to work this week :)

These images come from the Green Thumb set. I used some "bling" from my stash for the flower centers and added a mini tag with a sentiment from the original Mixed Messages stamp set.

I then used a little foam tape under the mini tag & flower pot to add a little dimension. 

Only a few more days until the next release! I'm excited to see more of the set that has the arm chair image. To check out the other sneak peeks check out Nichole's Blog.

Says the wise owl...

This is another card for my stash. I combined the owl image from TAC's Artsy Owls with a sentiment from Inkadinkado's Humorous Birthday set. 

This was a quick and easy card that can be created in about 10-15 minutes. I stamped the card base using one of PTI's polka dot background stamps, colored the image using Copic markers, cut out the owl, and then popped him up with foam tape. I used a scalloped punch to create the grass. Thanks for looking :)

A Cupcake... for HIM!

For some reason, when ever I go to color these cupcake images I'm always drawn to pink frosting but not today! My card stash is very low on birthday cards, especially masculine birthday cards so I've been working on a few cards for the guys. This card features Basic Grey patterned paper & a PTI sentiment. I colored the image using Copic markers and used a glitter pen to accent the sprinkles. 

Thanks for looking!

Birthday Wishes

 

Hi all! Hope you're having a wonderful weekend.

Today's card features a flower stamp from TAC's Fanciful Flowers stamp set. Sadly it was retired a few catalogs back but it's one of those sets that I reach for all the time :) The sentiment is from PTI's Mixed Messages, another set I really love!

 

Thanks for looking!
