Dare To Be Sassy Thursday #38

Sassy Mummy Apothecary Jar


Sassy Mummy Tag

Imagine my delight when I checked my e-mail this morning to find my free birthday image from Lindsay at Sassy Studio Designs! Then imagine how giddy I was to discover that she had sent not one, but two images to apologize for the delay (I'm an August baby) and one of them was the soon-to-be released Sassy Mummy! She is absolutely gorgeous and will be available on October 1st with the Halloween release! I've already started thinking about decorations and costumes so this just confirmed that it's now time to pull out my extensive collection of Halloween stamps and accessories and get to work!

And how could I not use her immediately?!?! Halloween is my absolute favorite holiday! So I decided I would participate in this week's Dare To Be Sassy Thursday Challenge #38 to make "anything but a card" and Stamp Something's Digi Day challenge to use some sort of digital element in your project. . I chose to make a tag for my newly purchased apothecary jar. It would have been better if it was a canopic jar, but I guess Michaels was fresh out... lol!

I colored our lovely Egyptian mummy with my Prismacolor Art Markers, did a little distressing and shredded a piece of gauze and I was done. She was so much fun to work with and what a tease! Now I'm tingly with anticipation to see what other fabulous Halloween images SSD has in store for us! I'm hoping it's a bevy of beautiful beasties that go bump in the night! Thank you, Lindsay, for being so sweet and generous and totally making my day!

Tag Supplies:
Images: Sassy Mummy (Sassy Studio Designs), Wanda's Pantry (Waltzingmouse Stamps)
Ink: printer, Only Orange (Stampin' Up), Tim Holtz Old Paper Distress Ink (Ranger), Prismacolor Art Markers (78, 201, 105, 97, 196, 140, 12, 149)
Paper: Basic Black and Only Orange card stock (Stampin' Up), white card stock (Staples)
Accessories: test tube sticker (Martha Stewart), rolled gauze (Target), white large circle eyelet (Stampin' Up), Halloween Adornments (EK Success), Cuttlebug Spiderweb embossing folder (Provocraft), baker's twine (Martha Stewart), Labels Ten Nestabilities (Spellbinders)

Paper Flower Supplies and Enchanted Journal


How could I not use Rapunzel to create something fairytale related for this week's Sassy Studio Designs' ? Dare To Be Sassy Thursday!? With long hair down to my waist myself, I can empathize with her tress issues! Though my "tower" is a 3rd floor apartment and I haven't had any men offer to use my hair as a ladder lately, I do feel a certain kinship with this particular princess!

I was feeling inspired today and decided to create a journal for my project instead of my usual card. I also chose to make a paper flower (complete with home-made shimmer mist) to add to my creation. It is a simple process that produces a beautiful embellishment!


Paper Flower Instruction

1) Punch out 6 scallop circle from the designer paper or book page of your choice
2) Sponge ink on all 6 scallops
3) Spritz each scallop with water and crinkle into a ball
4) Flatten the scallops and lay flat to dry
5) Punch another scallop from card stock that coordinates with your project
6) Layer all 7 scallops together with the card stock on the bottom
7) Use paper piercing tool and mat to punch a hole through the center of all layers
8) Use a brad to bind the scallops together
9) Re-crumple the scallops, with the top ones being the most crumpled
10) Shake and spray flower with Smooch Spritz or Shimmer Paint mist for a glittery look (optional)

The above instructions were courtesy of my Stampin' Up demonstrator, Teresa Howe. Teresa also told me how to make my own shimmer mist. All you need is a mini mister bottle, rubbing alcohol, classic re-inkers and shimmer paint.

I had a lot of fun with these two techniques! And with this challenge! If you want to play along for a chance to win some Sassy images, just link your creation here before Thursday. Of course, I always wait until the last minute so you only have a few hours left to participate. Being on the East coast gives me until 3am to get my project posted before I turn into a pumpkin... (Oh, sorry, wrong fairy tale! lol) If you miss it, there will be another fabulous challenge announced tomorrow so be sure to check back!

Well, I am off to check on Prince Charming (aka Kayne, my soon-to-be one year old son). Thanks for looking and happy crafting!

Card Supplies

Dare To Be Sassy Thursday #35


And I'm down to the wire yet again! I had every intention of crafting this evening, but I got too caught up on the Sassy Studio Designs' new release party blog! If you haven't seen the enchanting newest additions to the Little Honey's Fairytale collection then you will want to pop over to the SSD shopping site and check them out! They are super sweet! The talented Lindsay has outdone herself again!

So, all the chatting with the lovely Sassy ladies left little time to complete this week's Dare To Be Sassy Thursday challenge. We were instructed to make a teacher's gift since school is back in session almost everywhere now. I lacked inspiration today so ended up with a card that will serve double duty as a gift card holder. As usual, I had to let my sense of humor shine through, though.... Yes, that is designer paper that says "I will not hit boys"! I hope you got a schoolgirl giggle or two out of that! :)

Card Supplies:
Images: Mrs. S (Sassy)
Ink: printer, Prismacolor Art Markers (199, 207, 149, 12, 46, 169, 62, 25)

Dare To Be Sassy Thursday #34


Witchy Woman by Eagles

I have been wanting to play with this image for a while now... I had the mirror and the brilliant idea of pairing the two. So when I saw this week's Sassy Studio Designs' Dare To Be Sassy Thursday challenge was to create a card inspired by a song, I knew no matter how busy I was, I had to make time to finally create something with them. My wicked sorceress is one Witchy Woman, and I think she would do the Eagles proud!

I am still buried in stamping "have tos" (45 Cookie Monster invitations for my son's 1st birthday party for starters!) so this is going to have to be a brief post again. As usual, I've waited until the last minute to enter the race. You have 3 more hours to get your project linked up here if you want to play along to win 2 SSD images of your choice. But there's always next week too!

Thanks for looking and hope to be back sooner than later....

Card Supplies
Images: Evil Sorceress (Sassy Studio Designs), Mirror Mirror sentiment (computer generated)
Ink: printer, Pumpkin Pie and Ruby Red (Stampin' Up), Prismacolor Art Markers (168, 213, 207, 12)
Paper: Eggplant Envy, Basic Black and Ruby Red card stock (Stampin' Up); white card stock (Staples); Haunted: Macabre designer paper (Cosmo Cricket)
Accessories: Designer Label punch (Stampin' Up); Madame Delphine's mirror pendant (Blue Moon); black rhinestones (Nicole Crafts); Moraccan Screen Cuttlebug embossing folder (Provocraft); Boutique Fleur mulberry paper roses (Recollections); eggplant sheer satin edge ribbon (Wright's); 3D dots

Dare To Be Sassy Thursday #33

Wow, have I been busy! I completely missed last week's Sassy Studio Design's Dare To Be Sassy Thursday, but I'm back! And though it has to be a quick post since I am in the middle of a cleaning frenzy in preparation for company tomorrow evening I wanted to get my submission posted. Did I also mention I'm making Oreo Truffles? Mmmm...

Speaking of yummy, I used SSD's Cosmopolitan for my creation this week. The theme: POLKA DOTS! I think I managed to incorporate spots and dots into almost every element of the card - the designer paper, the embossed panel, the ribbon and even the brads!

Sorry this was so rushed! All the stamping I'm doing leaves me no time for posting anything! Thanks for looking and if you'd like to play along, well, it's probably almost too late! I'm such a procrastinator! But keep your eyes open for Dare To Be Sassy Thursday #34 this week on their blog, which can be found here. They also have tons of fun sponsorship challenges going on right now so check those out as well!

Dare To Be Sassy Thursday #31


Well, it's a sad day.... This is my last Dare To Be Sassy Thursday as guest designer for Sassy Studio Designs. You can't see me, but I'm pouting! lol I am going to miss working with all the wonderful ladies over there, but I have a feeling they can't get rid of me that easily! It has been an amazing experience, and I enjoyed myself immensely! My thanks to Lindsay and each & every one of her fabulous design team for making me feel so welcomed and for all their encouragement regarding my creations. On a happy note, I get to pass the baton on to a worthy successor, Kim! Her blog, Kim's Cards, can be found here. Congrats, Kim!

For this week's challenge there really are no guidelines.... It's freestyle! Anything goes!!! Your only requirement is that you use a SSD image and link it
here before next Thursday. Other than that, you have carte blanche to play along for a chance to win 2 images of your choice. I opted to make a Halloween card using their Sassy Devil image. It is my favorite holiday, and it'll be here before we know it! The sketch is from splitcoaststampers, and I spiced up the inside with a saucy sentiment from My Favorite Thing's Party Girl set. Thanks for looking, and I hope you'll play along... Having no restrictions was devilishly fun! Bwahahaha!

The Crazy Challenge - All About Birthdays

I
It's time for another
Sassy Studio Designs sponsorship.... This time it's The Crazy Challenge, and it's All About Birthdays! Speaking of birthdays... yours truly will be celebrating one next weekend! Although, if it wasn't for the cake and presents, I think I would just stop acknowledging them! I do have plans to go out with some friends that night (which is a rare occurrence since the small man arrived) so I'm looking forward to that, if not to turning another year older.

I have quite a few friends and family members who celebrate this month also so I'll be very busy churning out cards. For this quick and easy one, I simply printed the Party Dress image from Sassy Studio Designs on designer paper, layered in on top of coordinating designer paper, added a few embellishments (the wire hanger and glitter binder clip), and in fifteen minutes I was done!

It's so pretty, I'm not sure I want to give it away. Happy Birthday to me! Haha!

Card Supplies:
Images: Party Dress (Sassy Studio Designs), Who's That Birthday Girl? (My Favorite Things)
Ink: printer, Rich Cocoa (Memento)

Dare To Be Sassy Thursday #30


Welcome to another Thursday! It feels like I blinked and here it is the end of the week again. I don't know where all the time is going, but it suddenly dawned on me that in 2 short months my baby boy is going to be turning a year old! That will be followed closely by Halloween, then Thanksgiving and (gasp) Chr
istmas! As a crafter these events take planning to ensure that the party invites, thank you cards and other assorted paper goodness are made and sent off in a timely manner. So while I still have some time before I have to think about my second favorite holiday (sorry, Christmas... Halloween's got ya beat!) it was still fun to play along with this week's Sassy Studio Designs Dare To Be Sassy Thursday - Christmas in July! I used their Mrs. Claus image, made her into an ornament and paired her with a sassy sentiment to produce a sexy and playful holiday card. Most of us may still be wearing flip flops and sipping iced tea, but it was a lot of fun to think snowflakes, candy canes and sugarplum fairies for a day! If you'd like to try your hand at a holiday card and a chance to win two SSD images of your choice, just use any SSD image to create your own Christmas in July card and link it here before next Thursday! Happy Holidays, I mean, Thursday!

So basically you have free reign to create something using any digital element of your choice, whether it be images, paper or layouts! For my submission I chose to use a SSD digital image.

I was lucky enough to get her as a freebie during their celebration on Paper Craft Planet when SSD reached 300 members there. But don't worry if you weren't able to scoop her up then... She'll be available for sale come the August 1st release!

Dare To Be Sassy Thursday #29

Welcome to another edition of Sassy Studio Designs' Dare to Be Sassy Thursday! This week's challenge was to use the color combination below to create your project:

Here is my version:


Summer has been in full swing here in the Northeast this past week or two! It has been hot and humid - the kind of weather that makes you praise the God of Freon! It's also the type of weather that makes me sluggish and lazy and a little bit crabby because I insist on spending 15 minutes every morning straightening my hair only to have it POOF into instant frizz the moment I step outside! But I digress. So more than once this week I have caught myself daydreaming about lounging on a beach somewhere instead of doing whatever it is I'm supposed to be doing. I wish I could get away for even a day to breathe the salty ocean air and hear the gulls calling. But I can't so I decided to use SSD's Beach Bum image for my card to honor that quintessential summer beach trip! Although the reality of it is, if I were actually at the beach I'd most likely be spending more time trying to prevent my son from eating sand than I would relaxing and come home sunburned and uncomfortable so maybe crafting in an air conditioned apartment isn't so bad after all!
To play along simply link your creation here before next Thursday! The prize is two SSD images of your choice!

Card Supplies:

Images:
Beach Bum (Sassy Studio Designs)
Ink: printer, Prismacolor Art Markers
Paper:
Green Galore and Basic Black card stock (Stampin' Up); white card stock (Staples); Sweet and Sassy designer series paper (Stampin' Up)
Accessories:
black mini brads (American Crafts); mulberry paper flowers (Prima); Nightfall adhesive pearl (Queen & Co); ric rac (Wyla); branch punch (Martha Stewart)

As this month's guest designer I have the inside scoop on the challenges so I was prepared for this one. Well, okay, I finished it in the wee hours of the night last night so I could meet my DT deadline, but only because I think procrastination is an art form that must be carefully cultivated! lol

This week's challenge is a sketch challenge! The SSD design team has provided us with a fabulous sketch to work with (see above). Just link your creation
here before next Thursday, and you could be the lucky winner who receives the prize of two Sassy Studio Designs images! Above is my take on the sketch, and as you can see I had WAAAY too much fun with it!

I have a friend who owns her own yoga studio/juicing business. She is also a single mom like myself. If anyone deserves some serenity, it would be this dynamic yoga momma! Her birthday was Monday so this is going in the mail to her tomorrow. (Better late with a hand-made greeting card than on time with a store bought one I always say! lol)

Dare To Be Sassy Thursday #26

Do you know what today is? I can see all of you now, with perplexed, maybe slightly amused, looks, scratching your heads and thinking, "What's so special about today? Is she daft?" Maybe. It would appear to be a regular Wednesday, the end of the month, but nothing out of the ordinary, right? Wrong! Today is the movie theater release date of the newest installment of the Twilight series, Eclipse! Sadly, I will have to wait until the 9:30pm showing on Friday before I get to see it... But there couldn't have been a more perfect challenge from Sassy Studio Designs! I'm a little slow, but their Dare To Be Sassy Thursday challenge from last week was to create something movie related. My tribute to Eclipse uses SSD's image Meet Me Under the Mistletoe. "Bella" and "Edward" are colored with Prismacolor Art markers. Today is the last day to participate in this challenge, but if you're game link your creation and join the fun. A new Sassy Thursday will be announced tomorrow, and it is also new release day so be sure to check out the design team members' blogs for sneak peeks!

Card Supplies:
Images: Meet Me Under the Mistletoe (Sassy Studio Designs); Into the Moonlight (Artful Inkables)
Paper: Real Red, Basic Black, and Summer Sun card stock (Stampin' Up); Night & Day designer series paper (Stampin' Up); white card stock (Staples)
Accessories: Circles and Labels One Nestabilities (Spellbinders); Wrought Iron border punch (Martha Stewart); adhesive pearls (Queen & Co.)

Thanks for stopping by, and be sure to check back! As SSD's Guest Designer for the month of July I was sent a couple of the new release images in advance... I'm hoping to have a sneak peek for you later.

Happy Crafting!

The Crazy Challenge - Make it in an Hour


What's crazy is that I'm still up at this hour, but I wanted to post one more card for another Sassy Studio Designs' sponsored challenge before I crawled into bed for four hours of sleep. Such is the life of a single, working, stamping mother! lol

This one I whipped up in under an hour for The Crazy Challenge's "Make it in an Hour" challenge. And if your Bulgarian is a little rusty, have no fear... Google Translate can take care of that for you so that there is no language barrier when it comes to crafting!

For my project, I chose Denim Debbie and paper pieced her jeans and sexy top. She was colored with Prismacolor Artmarkers and layered on Stampin' Up card stock (Baja Breeze, Basic Black, Kiwi Kiss, & Pink Passion) and We R Memory Keepers designer paper (Girls Night Out Classy & Flirty). I added a few black adhesive pearls and a melon colored flower and I was done. And I am. Good night!

C.R.A.F.T. Challenge 56


Happy Monday! For those of you who don't already know, my big news is that (drum roll please!) I have been selected as guest designer for the month of July for Sassy Studio Designs! I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am to be a part of this team of talented ladies! Be sure to watch my blog for new creations each week. This week, though, there are fun challenges to participate in and sassy new releases to snag.

Sassy Studio Designs is sponsoring this week's challenge over at the C.R.A.F.T. Challenge blog. It's a color challenge: black, lime and lilac. This is my submission using Disco Diva. You have until Wednesday evening to post your link if you too would like a chance to win 4 fabulous Sassy Studio Designs digital images.

I am off to play with more of my SSD images. I was lucky enough to receive a couple of the new release images early and hope to post a sneak peek or two for you tomorrow...

Happy Crafting!

Dare To Be Sassy Thursday #25


Happy Solstice! Summer has officially arrived and what better way to celebrate than with a Sassy Studio Designs' weekly challenge? This week's directive was to create something summer-y. Details can be found here if you'd like to play along. You have until Thursday to link your creations.

Summer, in my opinion, is not complete without a trip to the beach. Ever since I was a kid my family would go to Old Orchard Beach in Maine. Every trip, we would stroll on the boardwalk, play in the arcades, go on the rides and consume as much fried, frozen, sugary, salty and otherwise bad for you junk food as we could! Cotton candy was always a weakness of mine, and, okay, I'll admit it; I still find it delightful and indulge on occasion! So I chose Sweet Cotton Candy Candace for my card. She was colored with Prismacolor Artmarkers and then I "fluffed" up her spun sugar treat with some Flower
Soft in Raspberry Fizz.

Below are the other "ingredients" used to make my card:

Paper:
Gable Green, Basic Black, Bashful Blue, Pink Passion and Pretty in Pink card stock (Stampin' Up); white card stock (Staples); Euphoria Cool and Delirium designer paper (Basic Grey)

Embellishments: Boardwalk dimensional sticker (Jolee's Boutique - EK Success); Blue gemstone brads (Recollections - Michaels); Circle and Scalloped Circle Nestabilities (Spellbinders); Spots and Dots embossing folder (Cuttlebug - Provo Craft); white gel pen (Signo - Uniball)

Thanks for looking and stay tuned because I have some VERY cool news to share!
