Card made from one of the New Releases

I made a card from one of our New Releases this morning. Until Sunday they are all 30% off at the shop. Head on over there and get you a digi stamp. Remember you can resize the digi's to what ever type of project your creating!!

I used prisma color pencils with odorless mineral spirits to blend the pencils. On the heart I used cinnamon stickles on the edge. That is my new Martha Stewart Lace punch you see. Don't ya just love it!! I had one that broke and finally replaced it. Not sure who the creator of the paper is but I just love loved it! I think I'm going to send this card to my sister.

Thanks for looking..

One more ATC Card

I'm making ATC cards for a club I'm in that meets at the beginning of the month. I have to get seven of them ready and I hate doing them over and over the same thing. so little by little I'm creating them.

Here is one I just finished. I love working with Suzanne Woolcott images.



I first prepared my background card. On my working mat I smeared three different colors of Tim Holtz distress ink. I usually spritz some water on it but this time I didn't as I wanted a bit more texture. I took my card and dabbed it all over the inked surface making a pattern. I then used Fresco Beige Chalk ink to fill in the background for more texture. Letting that dry, I tore my image in the shape I wanted and then once again using the Tim Holtz ink called "Peeled Paint" I distressed the edges. I added my sayings and then adhered my image.. I took silver stickles and ran it lightly down vertically like rain. The last thing I did was distress the edges of the card with that same ink " Peeled Paint".. and dat's dat. One ATC card!! LOL

Thanks for Looking.

Playing around with ATC Cards

I was playing around this morning making an atc card for this club I'm in and this is what I came up with. I used one of Suzanne Woolcott's Images and created a sticker with it.


First I cut three pieces of Specialty paper in different sizes and pieced them together. I cut out the scalloped circles with my cuttlebug, they are part of the nestabiities.
I inked the edges of the words, the pink circle and the dark pink circle. Used a bit of silver glitter glue all around in different places smudging it with my finger. I put the purple bling all around the pink circle.. But I think I need to edge the card with some chestnut brown ink to finish it off..

and dat's dat, it was a fun morning..

Thanks for looking.

I Did It!

I did it! I have always wanted to make a Shutter Card and couldn't ever grasp any tutorial. Well today I found one that was way easy. After three trys for the scores and cut I got my base card and then the rest was easy peasey.. I made the card for a friend of mine who's leaving town next week. I hope she likes it, it's a little rusty because I ran out of adhesive and had to use a glue stick right smack in the middle of making it.. I'll clean it up a little bit with Modge Podge...

Here it is in three different angles.. woooo hoooo I did it!!







If you want to try your hand at making a shutter card here is the site I went to.

http://www.charmedcardsandcrafts.co.uk/acatalog/Classes.html

I found the link at our new Forum.. Leanne added this great place to visit for classes on all different types of cardmaking. The classes are free of coarse!! Join the forum and check out all the wonderful Tut Links, tuts and Utube classes!!!

Thanks for Looking..

My Wacky Wednesday Freebie Card

I've been up since 1:00 this morning just doing some work and playing around. I had the flu this week and I think I'm finally coming out of it. Just some more sweats and chills are kinda left.. but anywho I started to play with this weeks WWF and this is what I came up with..



Naturally I colored her with Prisma Color Pencils and blended with odorless mineral spirits. I would love to try those copic pens that are out but their way over my budget. I used my cuddle bug for the white circle, then on the blue strip I used an edge punch.. Would you believe I bought this plastic thingy call a bow easy.. I had a time with it for awhile but after watching a Utube tutorial on how to use it I think I got it now. LOL

Just Scrapn Around

I went to a crop Friday night and had so much fun! It's just so good to be back in Indianapolis and be able to go to my favorite scrap store and be with freinds. The store "A little bit More" is run by Susie and Shirley Moore who live in Moorsevile.. really really! lol We all had a really good time. Naturally I only got one page done. I'm such a slow scrapper.. LOL ..

I scrapped my new Grand Nephew, John Kenyon Stephens. Such a big name for a tiny tiny little boy but I guess he will grow into it. LOL

Here is what I did.. The colors didn't come out to well when taking the pic. looks a little washed out on here but much better in person. I really want to get a sewing machine real soon as every time I create something lately I see where stitching can be used..


Isn't he a Darling. I snagged 30 photos from my Nieces Facebook and had them developed so I guess I'm going to be busy at the crops scrapping him. LOL shhhhh, it's a surprise for her. Going to make her an album... don't tell. LOL

Thanks all for looking..

I also want to invite anyone who would like to post your creations using any media into our Gallery. Please register at http://www.robynsfetish.com/gallery. We will be using the gallery a lot more once the forum is up and active again.

January Smeared and Smudged Faerie Song Challenge

I bought a stamp from Faerie Song Art Stamps last week and it came over the weekend. Not only did I get the stamp I bought but they added another stamp with it. How very nice of them. Will I buy from them again. For sure. Not only are their stamps priced right but to put another one in my package was such a nice surprise! Check them out, it's worth it if you like Fairies and Goddesses.

Here is what I made with the stamps.

This first one is the stamp they gave me as a gift. Is it not a cutie patootie!! Colored with Prisma Color pencils and blended with odorless mineral spirits. I used a bit of Sparkle and Sprinkles glitter.. The big heart I cut out with my Cricut and the little heart and Salutation I created on my computer using Paint Shop Pro. Used pop dots to raise the little heart...


This next one is the Stamp I bought. I just loved this image!!
Again I used the Prisma Color Pencils and Odorless Mineral Spirits. I used my heart punch on the valentine paper and added the little bling flowers to the ribbon.

Both images were alot of fun to create these cards with..

Not even knowing it the Ning Network Smeared and Smudged is having a Faerie Song Challenge and these are my entries for their challenge..

Thanks everyone for looking..

Be watching for some new releases from Robyns Fetish Digital Stamps this coming Wednesday!! and a big ole blog hop!! wooohooo

Playing around with an ATC card

I was just playing around with my stamps and came up with this ATC card.



First I rubbed ink on a white piece of cardstock and then stamped my image. Then Tore around it.I then inked the edges of the image with a blue ink. I used "Colorbox" inks. Then I took the different colors of ink and rubbed it on the atc card blank. Let that dry and then took some silver glitter glue and ran it across the card where the lines formed from the ink, then adhered my image.. I put the little blings all over the card once all was dry.. and voila a nice little ATC card... You can get a similar effect on your card by using chalk..

Thanks for looking

My Card for this weeks WWF

Hi everyone this is my card I created with the new Wacky Wednesday Freebie image Gertrude.


I colored the image in with Prisma Color pencils and blended them with Odorless Mineral Spirits. Stamped the "Your still a Swinger". then added the bling. The paper is from DCWV. I also used my cuttlebug to emboss the brown paper with the circles, then sanded it lightly to bring out the embossing. It's hard to see here but I edged the brown paper with color box chestnut ink.I added the pink brads to look like the handles of a jump rope.. do they? lol The size of my card is 7x10 scored at the 10 to give me a card of 7x5inches which is large but I left the image at it's original size of 4inches.. and dat's dat!

I would love to see what you create with Gertrude. Send your card to me at robyn@robynsfetish.com and I will showcase it on my blog and our challenge blog....

Next Wednesday go on over to our challenge blog and get in our Blog Hop. We have some new releases to show off and what better then to give a few away!!

Have fun!!
