Happily Ever After

Hi Everyone

Michelle here from Lady of Leisure Ink - thank you Terri for having me.  Today I have a very special card using both a Julie Nutting Prima Doll and the Jeremiah guy stamp from C Thru The Woods.  I had the idea in my head for a cute couple sitting at a soda fountain sharing one drink with two straws.  This is what I came up with.

I used a file from the Silhouette online store to cut out the awning and shop front, then used a wood-grain washi tape to finish it off.  Here is a look at the inside.

I used 'Love Letters' paper and stickers from Bo Bunny for the background and sentiment.  The root beer float is also a file from the silhouette store cut using my Cameo.

I used a piece of acetate to make the widow, and cut the word 'Cafe' from some frosted vinyl.

I love how this card turned out, and whilst I made it with Valentines in mind, this would also make a great engagement or anniversary card.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Happy New Year (Almost!)

Hi Everyone

Michelle here from  Lady of Leisure Ink.  Today is my last post of the year for A Scrap N Place - thank you Terri, this past year has been a blast. Today's tag is also my post for C Thru The Woods.  My inspiration for this tag came from Pinterest.

How cute do this couple look, celebrating the new year in the city?

The city skyline, clock, fireworks and 2015 are cut using files from my Silhouette Cameo.

See you all next year.

Hot Under The Collar Guys (Part 4)

Hi Everyone

Michelle here from Lady of Leisure Ink with myfinal 'hottie' design project - thanks Terri for having me.

So this guy takes us back to the early 80's, I was in my late teens in the movie theater drooling over this guy with my friends.

The background paper for this tag is from Authentique - I thought the map was just perfect for this adventurer. The name tag down the side is computer generated.

Of course underneath his disguise he is really Michael the fourth guy stamp from C Thru The Woods, but that doesn't stop the ladies getting excited.

Until next time.

Hot Under The Collar Guys (Part 3)

Hi Everyone

Michelle here from Lady of Leisure Ink - Terri, thank you as always for having me (even after my cheeky comments!)  I have another cute guy today, and if you are a Dr Who fan you're gonna love this one!

This is Andrew which was the very first guy stamp from C Thru The Woods.  I fussy cut the image, and paper pieced him with papers from my stash.  The Police Box (TARDIS) is a studio file (for the Silhouette Cameo) that I made, and is available by clicking on the tab 'Files to share' at the top of my blog.

Check out the guy stamps at A Scrap N Place, and while you're there pick up some of the small paper packs - they are great for paper piecing clothes and card projects too.

Thanks for stopping by today.  See you next time.

Hot Under The Collar Guys (Part 2)

Hi Everyone

Michelle here from Lady of Leisure Ink - can you believe Terri let me come back after the 'guy' comment I made last week, thank you!

I have another guy for you today to get 'hot under the collar' over - this time it is Michael from C Thru The Woods.

Don't you just love him in those geeky glasses?  All papers are from my stash, as are the 'brad glasses'.  The sentiment is computer generated.

So if you want a guy (or two) for your very own, pop into A Scrap N Place and Terri will hook you up  I mean she will sell you some guy stamps!

Thanks for stopping by today - see you next time (maybe?)

Hot Under The Collar Guys (Part 1)

Hi Everyone

Michelle here from Lady of Leisure Ink - as always Terri I am so grateful to be here.  So I have one question, what has gotten these girls so hot under the collar?

It's the new guy stamp Jeremiah from C Thru The Woods stamps.

Can you guess who this is?  How about a clue? (Sing along if you are as ancient as me!)

Sunday, Monday, Happy Days

Tuesday, Wednesday, Happy Days...

IT'S THE FONZ!

I had so much fun creating this card.  I used my Cameo to print n cut the image, and then coloured him with ProMarkers.

The sentiment is computer generated, and the motor bike is a file from Silhouette.

Pop into the store, and maybe you can pick up a guy or two of your own.  Terri is going to give me a hard time for that last sentence, but I meant 'guy stamps'!!!!!!

See you next time (if Terri will have me back!)

Cute Cowboy Couple

Hi Everyone

Michelle here from Lady of Leisure Ink- as always thank you Terri for having me. So I am back playing with the Prima dolls and guy stamps from C Thru The Woods.  I have used 'Becky' the cowgirl and Michael, don't they make a cute couple?

Of course I had to use that bucket die and the barbed wire fence die (both from Memory Box.)

The background paper for this card is from Authentique, and I used papers from my stash to paper piece the clothes and ProMarkers to colour the skin.

Thanks for stopping by today,  See you next time.

Wedding Day Dolls

Hi Everyone

Michelle here from Lady of Leisure Ink - thank you once again to Terri for having me as a designer here.  My final card for this month is a wedding card, using both a Prima Doll Stamp 'Tasha' and one of the guy stamps 'Alex' from C Thru The Woods.

The background paper for this is one that I had in my stash, but Terri has plenty of lovely papers similar to this with script on that would work beautifully.

The dolls are both cut by hand, coloured with ProMarkers (any alcohol markers will do) and the clothing paper pieced.  Here you can see a close-up of the bouquet which I made using a small flower punch and a Cheery Lynn 'Wreath Strip' border die (plus some little pearls of course!)  The dress is cut from vellum and stamped and embossed ('Soft Swirls' background stamp from SU, and white embossing powder.)

At the top I used a couple of Memory Box dies for the hearts & bow and birds.

Thanks for taking a peek at my project today.  Until next time.

I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus

Hi Everyone

Michelle here from Lady of Leisure Ink, thanks for having me Terri.  We continue with the Christmas in June theme, and today I have a special Christmas card using one of the Prima dolls (Tasha) and 'Andrew' one of the guy stamps from C Thru The Woods.

I used red cardstock for the card base and printed the song lyrics around the edge with my computer.  I dressed Andrew in a Santa outfit (drawn by hand) and then gave him a beard and santa hat (die from Memory Box).  I used Sno-Tex for some dimension on the beard and trim of the santa outfit.  Tasha's dress is paper pieced from some scraps of paper from my stash.  With the addition of a sprig of mistletoe and pearl berries my card was complete.

Thanks for stopping by today - I hope you enjoyed my project.

See you next time.

It's Ceal here sharing tag with you today. We are still celebrating Christmas in June but with Father's day being today I just had to make something with a guy on it. So I used Andrew from C Thru The Woods and made a Christmas tag.

Father's Day Card (and more!)

Hi Everyone

Michelle here from Lady of Leisure Ink, as always Terri thank you for having me.  This is such a quick and simple Father's Day card using the small 'Andrew' Stamp from C Thru The Woods.

I used a dark grey cardstock to stamp the image several times on the background, and then fussy cut and paper pieced one image and popped him up on dimensionals.  The sentiment is computer generated.  Here is a second card, using some different scraps.

Then of course you can always change the sentiment to suit the occassion.

All supplies used are available at A Scrap N Place.

See you next time.

Hi There! This is Kim with another quick masculine card to get you ready for graduation and Father's Day coming up. This a larger stamp than I am used to, but it stamps beautifully. The stamp is from C Thru the Woods. I colored this guy in using Copic markers and used the blender marker to soften some of the ink.

I then used a corner rounder for the corner of the cardstock. The image and sentiment is popped onto the card using 3-D foam tape. Last is the ribbon. This is a quick card you can whip up for any occasion.
