Design Team Post by Ruza ...

Good morning & Happy Halloween to our US friends!  Today I'm sharing a card I created with one of the NEW Digital Stamps in the QKR Store.

This adorable Crow doesn't have a name, but he goes by digi24241.  I think of him as farmer crow!  He was super FUN to color with my Copic Markers.  Add in a couple vines and sparkly pumpkins and we are good to go!

To create the sparkly pumpkins I layered some Bling on a Roll onto scrap cardstock, and then used my QuikKutz Pumpkin Die to punch out the Pumpkins.  I had to use scissors to cut the pumpkins out because of the thickness of the Bling.  Next time I'll use the dies with my Cuttlebug to see if it works better.

High Tops...

Hello Everyone, Katie here today!

I have such a cute Digi Image to share with you today.  It is from QKR Stampede and it can be found here.  As soon as I saw this image I knew I had to try it!

Here is the result:

This image could be used for boy or girl cards.  I will certainly be trying it out some more!

I have coloured the image using Promarkers: canary, Cool Aqua, Cool Grey 2.

Hi Mummy!

Happy Almost Halloween friends!  Sarah here with a card for you to get you in the holiday spirit!  I think this little bear is so stinkin' cute I just simply had to color him up and create a card using this adorable image. I promise you...in real life the glittered pumpkin pail looks much better and even matches the orange cardstock-- not as scary as it looks here!  I think my photography needs a bit of work :)

THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE IS: 
Use a Sentiment as the Focal Point of Your Creation

 This Week Our Special Guest Designer is:
NanaConnie   

Besides being a mom, NanaConnie is a Nana to 6 and a Great-Nana to 2. Her family is her greatest
treasure. Nana says, "God has richly blessed me with four existing generations and they all love and appreciate Nana's crafting and card making. They all consider a card from Nana to be a necessity for any occasion from birthday to holidays to plain old soup-and-nuts. I have crafted all my life but only in the last 2 1/2 years has card making overtaken every other crafting activity. It's the one thing which has become an obsession and prompted my starting a blog not quite 2 years ago. I make lots of cards for our local children's hospital and my church's Women's Guild; as well as Operation Write Home. I sell my cards and make cards by commission as well. I love playing in challenges and serving on Design Teams. I find that I get as much inspiration visiting the blogs of those who post their projects on the DT Challenges as ever I might give out. Crafters and card makers are a special breed and I'm honored to be among them."

  Please Stop By & Leave  NanaConnie Some Love!

Be a painter

Here I made a card of dog trying to be painter. I found this image at QKR Stampede and he is cute dog too. First I draw splat on the card using micron pen and then colouring it in with promarker pens then cut shape out using spellbinder called label one for silver card and my image then I put blue strip at the bottom of my card with happy birthday on and finally put gems on. Hope you like it

DT Post by Gemma Pocock

Well it has been a hectic day here in the Pocock household, we are in the process of changing pcs, so I am affraid I am unable to post a link to the image I have used as it is on the old pc. I am really sorry folks.

I used the christmas owl image coloured with pro markers. Then matt and layered with christmas paper and red mirror board, finished off with a sentiment and card candi.

If you would like to take a look at other cards I have made please look at my blog page http://gemshandmadecards.blogspot.co.uk/

Swimming By

Deb here with a colorful project that had me thinking of tropical places on a cloudy October morning. This creation features Digi2303 Tropical Fish. I chose this image for the coloring opportunity but, truly, almost any QKR Stampede image has amazing coloring potential.

The "Copic Coloring Guide, Level 2: Nature" by Colleen Schaan and Marianne Walker is one of the best crafting investments I've ever made. Using the tutorial entitled, "Alternative Blending and Shading Groups" I was able to understand the 10+2 rule for shading and how to blend outside one color family. I highly recommend this book.

The colors used on this project were taken right from those suggested in the tutorial. Copic colors for this project are as follows:
Blue Fish: B000, B00, B12, B24, BV00, BV11, BV23, R46
Orange Fish: Y11, Y15, YR15, YR18, R46

Otherwise, this was a very simple project which came together in a snap. Print the image, color it, cut and emboss with a Spellbinder and sponge with Distress Ink. Cut a piece of black card just a bit bigger and adhere to card front. Add a computer generated sentiment, a few dots of Stickles and it's finished!

Have a look at the multitude of images available at QKR Stampede with an eye for how you might color them. And don't forget to pop over to my blog for more ideas at I Love It!

Design Team Post by Ruza ...

Good Morning.  I hope you are having a great week so far.  Today I'm sharing this adorable stamp of a dog hiding behind a pumpkin. 

Isn't he adorable?  I chose the Hiding stamp because the dog reminds me of my grand-dog Winston. Yes, I call Winston my grand-dog, and my son calls me grandma when he talks to Winston about me. LOL!

Now I don't think I'll see Winston hiding behind a pumpkin unless there are fireworks going off.  Those truly terrify him.  I colored the stamp with my Copic Markers, and I did a pretty good job of making the dog look like Winston.

You can get the Hiding stamp in Digital Format as well as Red Rubber.

Ruza's Craft Corner

Congrats

Good morning creative friends.

Sara, here from

Sara's Creative Adventures;)

Today I am bringing you...

QKR Stampede has a great category of images called

Balloons/Balloon Holders

For this creation I used

Digi Bear Balloon

&

Digi Expectant Mother Balloon Holder

I colored the Balloon holder in photoshop, printed her off and fussy cut.  

She was layered onto the card using dimensional foam.

Next I printed off the Bear Balloon twice.

One time on cream and one time on dp.

Then I cut and layered the bear, he is also attached with

dimensional foam.

I used an Xacto blade to cut around her little fingers

so it appears she is holding the little bear.

Head over to QKR Stampede Store and check out

the awesomeness of the 

Balloons/Balloon Holders Category

Remember QKR Stampede is your home

for Rubber and Digital images,

the best of both creative worlds in one stop shopping.

The images are somewhat cute and somewhat quirky and

you are sure to fall in love with them all.

We would love for you to sign up for our newsletter

while you are visiting.

Love Words - 2 cards same stamp

Hello!

Kristie here from Kristie Kreates.

I'd like to share a couple cards with you today.

I used

"Love Words" (#15717) from QKR Stampede

and heat embossed this lovely image onto white card stock.

With both cards I used Distress Ink

(Worn Lipstick above, Tattered Rose and Antique Linen below)

over the entire piece of card stock.

The embossed area resists the ink.

Above I simply added a bit of ribbon for embellishment.

On this card I used some craft tape from

Recollections at the top

and a button from my stash at the bottom to finish off my card.

This is the first bit of craft tape I've used and I'm really loving that stuff!

 

Thanks for stopping by today,

I hope you have gotten some inspiration from my cards.

Leave a comment if you will and let me know which card you like better.

Be sure to stop in to the QKR Stampede store and check out all the lovely images offered.

And come again soon, you never know what great inspiration you may get from the design team here on the QKR Stampede blog.
