Yoko and Ono

Just a quickie post this morning as I've got a lot to do today before we go out this evening to a barbecue out of town. I've got to get prepared for my Copic class tomorrow at SGD. (There are a couple of spots left if you'd like to come!)

Today's card is one I made for this week's Bellarific challenge which was a sketch....you know me and sketches! I decided to use my Yoko and Ono stamp from the Ketto line. The card base is Tempting Turquoise with Basic Black for matting and some pink Bazzill Bling. The patterned paper is some I picked up while at the Bella Boutique a couple of months ago.

I stamped Yoko and Ono on Wausau bright white cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then coloured them in with....say it together....COPICS! I used B000 to lightly go over the embossed frame to make the image pop. I added some velvet ric rack at the bottom and a black bow at the top. Then I pop dotted the main image, added a pink button on each side and added a little sparkle to their hairpins, chopsticks and the fringe on her dress using my Stardust Sakura gel pen.




Have a super day! Thanks for visiting!! Domo arigato!

Ketto Kard Kits!!!

Well, we've done it again!!! Heehee! My stampin sistah Andrea and I have designed another amazing kard kit for you to play with!! This time we've used the sensational new line of Ketto Stamps from Stampingbella!!!
We spent a lot of time choosing just the right designer papers, colourful card bases and lots and lots of bling to go in these kits!!

The card I made used Tatiana Ketto...isn't she sassy?? And I used only items that are in the kit ....don't you love the fun flowers and funky brads??




The kit includes one Ketto stamp (either Tatiana or Missmatch), six 6x6 card bases, 6 square envelopes, eight 6x6 double sided designer papers, lotsa flowers, lotsa rhinestone gems, lotsa funky brads and lotttttsa buttons!!! We hand chose each and every piece to coordinate with each other and we know you are gonna love them!!




They go on sale today but as usual, they are limited edition and once they're gone, they are gone! So head over to the Scrappin' Great Deal website or call Sheila at the store and order yours!!

And if you like those Ketto gals, we are also teaching a fun class on Saturday where you will get to make FOUR Ketto cards! So while you're on the phone with Sheila, reserve your spot for one of our superfun classes!!! Here's an Agnes Ketto card that we'll be making.....and here's one featuring Phoebe!!!




Well, I'm off to work today...blech. Hope you get to do a little stampin'!! Toodles!!

Meet Agnes Ketto...and a Kard Klass!!

One of my favourite new lines of stamps is the Ketto line by Stampingbella! These whimsical little teenie fairies are so amazing and I own....well, several.

This one is Agnes....and I loooove her long bobbly hairdo! And those long eyelashes! I designed this card to teach at an upcoming Ketto Kard Klass at Scrappin' Great Deals!! The funky dp I used for inspiration is from the My Mind's Eye Penny Lane line....soooo super cool! The cardstock is all Bazzill Bling and I used my new Nesties for the focal layers.

Of COURSE I used my Copic markers to colour her in, using the colours from the dp as a guide and pop dotted her. I stamped the sentiment and punched it out with an oval punch and added red brads in each corner. I added the finishing touches using a Stardust Sakura gel pen and sparkled up her wings and the word 'magical'.



If you'd like to join us for a fun Ketto Klass..hehe...there are only a few spots left, so be sure to call Sheila at the store to reserve your spot. We're also doing an Anya class that day too...why not join us for both!?

Speaking of Bella stamps, my partner in crime, Andrea, has some awesome blog candy up right now, so be sure to zip on over and get in on that!!!

Well, I'm off work today.....yaaaaaaaaay.....my only day off this week, so I'm planning to stamp ALL day!!! Yay me!! I mean, I could be doing housework and stuff, but where's the fun in that??

Meet Ivy Ketto!!!

I can't believe that it's been almost two weeks since I visited Bellaland and I haven't shared any of my fancy schmancy new Ketto cards!!! 'Cause I've made several already!!

This one features the lovely Ivy, sitting on a branch! So sweet, yes?? I stamped her on Wausau bright white cardstock, using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used my Copics to colour her in. (Are ya gettin' sick of me saying that every time??) The patterned paper that I used for inspiration, is from the Marrakech line by Basic Grey. I used Mellow Moss for the card base, Baja Breeze and Pink Pirouette for matting. I cut and emboss a large flower using my Nesties, added some ric rack and pop dotted the sentiment. I also popped up Ivy, added a pink button with white Scrapper's Flos and made her purdy hair all sparkly using my Stardust Sakura gel pen! Super duper!!




Have I mentioned that I'm going away this weekend?? I can't imagine that I haven't because I'm prit' near bursting with excitement about my little excursion! My gal pal and stampin' soul sistah, Andrea and I are going to Toronto on Sunday and hangin' at the Bella Boutique ALL FREAKIN'DAY on Monday!!! What could be better, I ask you??? We're hangin' out with the bellariffic Emily and the super sweet Nicky and stampin' up a storm!!! We're just a TAD stoked...I mean we've been planning this for like, two months!! And hey! If you happen to be in the area on Monday, why don't you stop in and hang out too??? We'd love to see ya!!

We're also meeting a BUNCH of amazing stampers and bloggers that we've met online, at SCS, through Design Teams etc. I think we're pretty famous, 'cause like Crissy (the artist who draws the wonderful High Hopes images) and Janette (one of the amazing DT members with me) are our ROOMIES for the weekend!! We can't wait to finally meet, hang out, laugh, take photos, stamp, colour, eat, and....all that good stuff!!

THEN, as if that isn't enough, we're all going to the Copic Certification workshop on Tuesday together!! I'm excited to learn how to use my millions of Copic markers to their fullest and learn some new techniques. Yippeeeeee!!

Anyhoo, here is my wonderful Ivy Ketto card and you can be sure that I'll be picking up a couple more Kettos on this trip to Bellaland!! Have a happy Saturday!!!
