Queen Bee

Hi everyone,

Tory here again with a project near and dear to my heart. My mom started bee-keeping last year and has asked me to make a scrapbook for her on her bee-keeping to display on her booth where she sells her homemade lip balm.

When I saw this totally cute Queen bee digi, I knew I had to use it! It reminded me of my mom and was so glam I knew it would be perfect to make a title page for the book.

 

 

I used a combo of papers from my fave manufacturers Authentique (dots, bees) and MME (wood paper). The theme colors are based on the Authentique Carefree collection, so reds and tans. I also used two types of alphas. For the Queen, I added glossy accents to pop up the words.

 

My lil bee was colored with Copics and has a bit of Stickles added to give her some glam. Looking at it now I will add some glossy to her eyes to give her more life (its a great trick!)

 

Thanks for stopping by our blog, and remember, stamps aren't just for cards!!

The Tooth Fairy

Children love a visit from the Tooth Fairy and I am sure they would love it even more  if their pennies were delivered in this cute little gift card.  The image from QKR Stampede can be found here.

Recipe & Method:

1.  Cut and score a white card to A5 size.

2.  Mount Turquoise card stock on to the White card.

3.  Scallop the right edge of the Purple spotty paper and stick to the Turquoise card stock.

4.  Colour and cut the Tooth Fairy image, and mount onto Coral card stock, patterned paper and Green card stock.  Attach to the top half of the card.

5.  Stick another section of card and patterned paper underneath the image and cut a Pillow box from a template or die.

6.  Embellish the Pillow bow with floral stamp and attach to the card.

7.  Add the For You sentiment.

The image was coloured with Promarkers: Almond, Dusky Pink, Sandstone, Pastel Green, Lilac, Peach.

Hey yall!  This is Tangii and I've decided it's time to add some more to my stash of cards that I hide in Hubby's suitcase when he travels!  I only make "Hubby cards" every now and again, but he's traveling more these days and QKR Stampede has so many AWESOME images (this is one of my faves!).  My sentiment is Love You This Much.  Have you played along with this week's QKR Challenge yet?  It's an easy-peasy one... Anything Goes!  Well that's all I have for now, hope to see you back here again soon and don't forget there will be a NEW QKR Challenge on Friday :)

Come On In....

Hello our crafty friends!  Sarah here at QKR Stampede with a card to share with you!  I decided I need to share one last card with a bit of a summer theme!  I can't believe summer is wrapping up and soon fall will be upon us :)  I used the adorable Digi 5602 Floating Gator for this card and colored him up with copics and he turned out pretty fun!  I love how he's just chillin' in the inner tube!  And seriously the sentiment is fantastic!  If you have time we would love for you to join us for our current Anything Goes Challenge as you have just a short time left to join us!

Can You Fix it? Yes You Can!!!

Hello and a Happy Saturday to you!!!

 

Have you ever come across an image and instantly was inspired to make a card?

Well let me tell you when I spotted this adorable image Carpenter 13905 in the QKR Stampede store, I immediately thought of how often my four grown children run to their dad if something needs to be fixed, or they have brought something that needs to be assembled....... Yes they immediately call their Dad for help!

 

 

I cracked up and knew instantly that I just had to create a "thank you" card

with this adorable Mr. Carpenter. Not to say that Dad has the plummer's crack going on, but Oh,such a fantastic

image to create a special thank you card for that guy that is so handy with the tools!!!

I know that once my kids see this one, they all will be wanting it to give to their good ole, pop!! :o)

 

He is colored with Copic then layered on these beautiful Basic Grey papers from the Granola 6x6 pad. Created my own sentiments with the computer, a bit of twine and a Dad brad I found in my stash.

 

Carpenter (13905) can be found in the store both in

Digi image or Rubber stamp

 

Have you played along with us in our current challenge?

Rose

Happy Saturday,

I am back again sharing my last digi image card for the month of August for QKR. For this card I picked the image called digi17505 Rose. I then embossed a piece of SU Rich Razzleberry card stock then I cut out the center with my oval nesties. For the image I dropped it behind the oval and colored it with copics and also did some sponging of the background. I then added some ribbon for a simple yet elegant card.

Have a great day!
Jen

Hello all my dear crafty buddies...

Firstly I just wanna say a HUGE thank you to everyone that pops by and leave me wonderful comments on my projects. they really do spur me on, and cheer me up even on the dullest of days.

Today I wish to share another card I've made for

 QKR stampede

As I was sitting looking through the store for an image to use, I fell across the one I ve used here.

Its one of those images that can be used for SOOO many things. I can see myself pulling this one out for a scrappage, labels for storage jars, even printed small for a greeting.

I love this wee image, so it was a joy to work with.

I went for a side stepper card, simply because its ages since I made one, but I really love how it came out in the end.

I hope you like it too.

THANK YOU for stopping by, and for any comments left behind.

Big Hugs, Marleen xxx

Money Tree Card

Hello, glad to show off my Money Tree Card!

It could be used for more than what I did which was to say "Thanks" which was a way of saying thank you for money that has bee received. I figured one of my kids could use the card to give to a relative when they receive money for their birthday, Christmas, or any other reason.

It would also be a great card to give and put a sentiment such as "money doesn't grow on trees" or many more!

Here is my card:

Digi - Money Tree  , Rubber Stamp - Money Tree

Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Mowed Lawn
Copics
Washi type tapes
Unknown leaf

End of Summer ...

Ruza here to share an "End of Summer" project with you.  My card ties in perfectly with our FIRST EVER QKR Stampede Challenge #1 called "End of Summer", which is going on now.

This fun guy is called "Going Fishing".  He was colored with a variety of Copic Markers, and I can honestly say I didn't keep track of them while I was coloring this time. He is so fun and quirky that I just had a blast working with him. I will probably use this as a birthday card for my nephew later this year since he loves to fish. ;o)

Going Fishing (6605)

is available in the 

QKR Store in Digital format and in Red Rubber.

You can scroll down to get all the details about QKR's Challenge #1, and I hope you join in the FUN to win some yummy PRIZES.

Don't forget to become a follower, you can even subscribe to our posts via email so you never miss a post!  Then come back on Friday for our 2nd Challenge.

Until next ... Enjoy!

Gemma Pocock DT Post

Its only me again, just thought I would share with you my latest make with the QKR digi stamps. I wanted to show you how easy it was to make these cards really complex and very details or just simple.

This one is a simple one this time using the digi image of a lady bug on a flower http://www.qkrstampede.com/proddetail.php?prod=digi7703.

I coloured the lady bug and flower in my pro markers, then used the sentiment Give Me A Hug

http://www.qkrstampede.com/proddetail.php?prod=digi14505&cat=74, mounted it onto green card. Used my nesties scalloped circles to cut some paper and then backed onto some green to help it stand out. I then used my hougie board and scored a square type pattern to bring the card to life. Plain and simple but effective I think, especially for a notecard.

I would love you all to take a look at my blog, to see some other designs I have done using QKR and other stamps http://gemshandmadecards.blogspot.co.uk/

Nurse Ann

Hello, this is Deb with an August QKR Stampede Design Team project – Nurse Ann. Framed art is a great gift for that special someone. Consider it for a very personal memento which will be cherished and displayed for years. This project was named for the featured Raggedy Ann but it was made with my favourite nurse in mind, so I might have titled it Nurse Renee.

Here’s how it came together. Start with a patterned piece of paper cut to fit your frame. If you need to use more than one piece of paper to make it big enough, go ahead and simply cover the seams with a strip of ribbon.

Next, print http://Digi Nurse and color. I used the following Copics:

Dress: YR000, YR00, YR01

Doll Body: E50, E51, R20

Medical Chart: E71, E74

Shoes & Clip: C00, C1, C3, C5, C7

Hair: E17, E18 and Spica pens in Orange and Gold

Cut and emboss the image with a Spellbinder shape, and sponge while still in the die with Distress Ink Dried Marigold.

Pull two colors from your patterned paper, and mat the image with two increasingly larger Spellbinder shapes. My sentiment was cut with Cricut’s Calligraphy cartridge and backed with the second color, but you could easily stamp a sentiment or use the recipient’s name. Fill out the remaining empty corner with a Spellbinder decorative shape, a flower, leaves and a bow in the dress color.

Almost any image can be used to create framed art. Give it a try!

A Perfect Christmas Tree

Tory here again and I'm back with another Christmas card. When I saw the Perfect Christmas Tree stamp, I knew I had to have it to make a card for my mom. She was always teased about her Charlie Brown trees, because no matter what she did they looked definitely less than perfect once they were up. Bald spots, crooked, really unbalanced... never fail, our trees were somewhat special.

And so this card was born to commemorate and celebrate our fabulous trees.

Interesting to note, she now has this super cheap 2 foot tall fakie we put up every year. It is not a Charlie Brown tree but we always shape it to be a little wonky before we decorate!  The sentiment I used is from Momenta, I was soo happy when I found it!

Summer Mouse

This image is called digi17803 Mouse .  This lovely mouse in a dress for summer.  I use the shape from the clear scoring board the first shape I did is with distress ink of purple and then I have got can of purple glitter spray and it looks perfect colour to match my lovely mouse then I use punch called floral and then I spray glitter on without distress ink on not bad at all just perfect to match with it and finally I added gems on the flower.

Quick, easy and fabulous gift ca

Hey yall, it's Tangii here with today's post and I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend!  Today I have a fabulous way to give a gift card!  First let me start by saying that this pocket card is NOT my brainchild, I made it with some friends, but I don't know where she got the idea.  Ok, back to the fun stuff...  I started off with an envelope (standard card size), a colored envie works great, but I didn't have any.  Seal the envelope and then standing it tall-wise, cut off about 1 1/4" of it (now this is the "lid").  Run the larger piece through a crimper, make sure you are putting it through in the correct direction (sideways)... this "shrinks" the larger piece so the lid fits perfectly over it :)  Brilliant!  Since my envelope started off white, I used my airbrush and B00 Copic marker to give it a "cloudy" look.

To decorate my pocket I used this Smiling Sun and my sentiment, Walk on Sunshine... both are from QKR Stampede :)  I colored Mr. Smiling Sun with Copics and added some sparkle with a Gold Spica Glitter pen.  A dab of Black Glaze pen is perfect for his eyes!  For the inside I added a little border strip and only adhered it on the bottom and sides, it holds the giftcard in perfectly!

Voila!  Quick and easy gift card holder!!  Hope you enjoyed today's post, hope to see you again soon.

Christmas Lights Kitty

Happy Friday!!

Today is my day to post on the QRK design team blog. So I thought I'd share a card I made with the Christmas Lights Kitty. I am trying to get ahead on Christmas cards, so you'll be seeing them from me periodically...I am trying not to rush in December. How many people have started their cards? Each year I have good intentions then don't follow thru. So it's not too late to start on them and here is one to inspire you.

I used some brighter colors for this one, the base is SU kiwi kiss and also some SU tempting turquoise. I used my nesties to cut out the cat the mat and paired it with some MME designer paper from last Christmas. I made the saying on my computer to go with it and colored the image with copics.

Hope you enjoy it!

Hello Everyone..

Today I want to share a card I've made for 

 QKR Stampede

I started by colouring the image, with no idea of what the final card would look like.

That is very unlike me. I normally always start with the papers I want to use, and then colour from there. I dont know why I started "backwards" this time, but once coloured I sat there thinking what to do next. So the hunt for matching papers started.. No good. I decided to mount the image, but that was as far as I got. In the end, I simply lay the mounted image onto the white card blank.

And there it was.. The idea came. The mounted image looked like a picture, so I decided to make a simple and pale frame around the image.

The frame is simply just a few lines made with my promarkers. 

I think it looks fab, and really sets off the image in its own right.

I added the greeting inside, so as not to "spoil" the picture look.

Hope you all like my card, and THANK YOU for stopping by.

Big Hugs, Marleen xxx
