LMM - Fancy or Lacey

Good Morning and welcome to another Little Miss Muffet Challenge - #29. Today we are making Fancy or Lacey projects.

I nearly choked on my Cheerieo's last week when I popped over to Inspiration post to grab the link and saw that Juliana Herrmann had used the very same images that I had already prepared for this week's challenge. I chalk it up to us both be very clever ;D Not one to waste, I still had to use it, after all it was already coloured up and begging to be made into a card.

MIC - Ivy Window Wall
DCWV - stack pack
button, dollar store flower brads & lace
SU sentiment - Fifth Avenue Floral
Quickutz - Flourish
Now head on over to the Challenge Blog and check out the fab projects my Teamies made.

Submitted for the following challenges:

Inky Impressions - Bright Colours
The Sisterhood of Crafter's - Getting Digi With It (both images are digi's)
Totally Gorjuss - #119 Lace

Quaint Cottage Inspiration Friday

Quick note, this card was chosen as one of the "FAVORITES for the week ending February 19, 2012. on SplitCoaststampers!

You MUST MUST MUST check out the new "Paris" release collaboration by Little Miss Muffet Stamps, Make It Colourful and Whimsy Stamps. All perfectly coordinated, you can buy: rubber stamps, digital stamps, backgrounds, background elements, sentiments, sentiment borders, and laser cut chipboard elements! How can you pass this up.

LMM - Sophia
MIC - Quaint Cottage
DP - Stampin Up
Now that I ranted, here is my Little Miss Muffet inspiration card of the week, and don't forget to check the DT over at the LMM Challenge Blog.
haha, I have to laugh! Barbara of LMM always does a coloured version of each image for her store site. I just popped over to get the linky of Sophia for this post and we coloured our Sophia's in the same outfit colours, even the shoe's. I HONESTLY had not peeked at her colouring before hand. I try not to, so that the colour can be completely unique to me. Same as the MIC cottage, I did not look at Zoe's coloured version first so as not to be influenced before hand.

Apparently I'm on a roll. I just popped over to the Challenge blog and Juliana Herrmann used the exact two images that I merged together for my next challenge, hehe and I have already coloured it too. So much for being original ;D

Make It Colourful - Spring Colours
iCopic Lover - #68 BG Family (BG72, BG13 & BG10: these were a Valentine gift from my hubby, so glad I could use them)

LMM #26 Something New

I used E11, E33 and R23 for the skin tones on the middle Sugar N Spice doll. What colour Copics do you use for darker skin? As you can see, I started at her feet using E31 too, but it turned it all a bit green so didn't end up using it elsewhere.

Hey all, time for our first Little Miss Muffet Stamps Challenge of the new year and it's a super easy one - Use Something New! We also have two new DT Members joining us this week, so please welcome AJ and Shelby.

I have used these Little Miss Muffet's image - Cinnamon, Rosemary & Peppermint in this configuration for a previous challenge. They are from the Sugar N' Spice Doll Collection at LMM. Anyway, I had an extra copy printed just in case I messed up with my Copics. I've been meaning to use the extra, so today was as good a day as any. Cinnamon, Rosemary & Peppermint are so adorable together, they look like they are ready for a party, hence the Let's Get Together sentiment from Studio G Clear Stamps.

My something new is the "Parisian" border punch from Michael's which was left in my stocking. Thanks Santa ;D All combined with old various Echo Park - Summer Days DP.

Okay so now that you have seen my card and hopefully checked out the other LMM DT's, grab yourself something new and play along.

Submitted for the following challenges:
The Crazy Challenge - CCH #100 Party
Simon Says Stamp Challenge - New Something (new border punch)
Scrap-Creations Challenge - Something Old, Something New (new punch, old paper scraps)
Sassy Studio Designs - Something New #106 (new border punch)

Saffron


Hello everyone. I hope your holiday break is going wonderfully! We are having a special "free image" challenge at the Little Miss Muffet Challenge Blog. Download your free image of Saffron and join along.

I printed Saffron onto beige cardstock and coloured her with Prismacolour pencils. I picked up a few more colours to try an ethnic skin tone. I used the same beige cardstock and chocolate chip with Jillybean Soup - Dutch Mustard DP. I added snow effect on the muff and a Tim Holtz pin on the ribbon.

Here is a list of the prismacolours I used on the skin tone, from darkest to lightest:
PC 946 - Dark Brown
PC 945 Sienna Brown
PC 943 Burnt Ochre
PC 942 Yellow Ochre and peach to tone down the yellow (not positive if I used PC 939 Peach or PC 927 Light Peach)

I just kept blending until the skin tones looked correct.

Check out the Little Miss Muffet DT - they rock!

Buttons Anyone?

Hey, are you ready for another Little Miss Muffet Stamps Challenge? Today is an easy peasy one, #24 - BUTTONS & RIBBONS! Use buttons and ribbons on your craft. Be creative, be simple, just grab some buttons n' ribbons and play along with us.

Oh, my ribbons is the string for the button balloons.


I can't take credit for the button balloons idea. I saw it last week on Stamplified and thought what a fun idea. I used Agent Cupcake Descending along with Out & About DP pack by Memory Keepers.

I've had this paper for eons and finally got to pull it out for this weeks City Crafter Challenge Blog - #86 Home For the Holidays , I chose the option of displaying a home - the apartment buildings. It created a comic book feel.

Cute Card Thursday - #194 Anything Goes
City Crafter Challenge Blog - #86 Home For the Holidays (apartment buildings)

Little Miss Muffet - Gratitude

Wow, I really need to be better at checking back on the challenges I enter. My Simplicity recipe card won two challenges - Totally Scrumptious (random draw I think) and Raise the Bar - Top 3. I also had a top 3 placing at Send A Smile 4 Kids for my Chloe & Sarah new release card.



Hi there and Happy Thanksgiving to all of my American friends and family. Welcome to another Little Miss Muffet's Challenge - Gratitude Challenge #23. Show your thanks or appreciation.


This is Little Miss Muffet's - Kaitlyn paired with SandayLion DP scraps. I must confess, I am not in love with this card. Didn't turn out how I envisioned. It the tag, I think it's too far left, I was trying to leave some of the DP text showing. Oh well. We all have off days.

My intentions were good ;D This is to say thanx to my DD friend for the lovely Build A Bear birthday presents.

Little Miss Muffet - Simplicity

Today's Little Miss Muffet Challenge is - #22 Simplicity.

I decided to make a Holiday Recipe card in Photoshop. Pretty simple since Shabby Princess already made the recipe card template for me. All I had to do was drop in my .png image of Coriander as Goldilocks onto the premade recipe card, type in my recipe and re-arrange it around Corianders body. Once it was printed onto Xpress It paper and left to dry over night, I coloured Coriander in with my Copic markers. Simple huh!

I ran my marker in overlapping streaks on the skirt area to mimic the plaid in the digital recipe card border. Didn't turn out too bad - I thought :D

When you order a digital stamp from Little Miss Muffet Stamps, you get two file formats; a .png and a jpeg. For those of you who aren't familiar with the differences between file formats:

A .jpeg has as white frame box around the image.

A .png however, is cropped completely around the image shape leaving no frame box or white spaces around the outside of that image. Making it perfect to place ontop of backgrounds.

For more great Simplicity ideas, head on over to the Little Miss Muffet Challenge Blog.

I am submitting this recipe card in for the following challenges:
One Stitch At A Time - #87 Use a Digi
Creative Craft Challenges - Minimalistic
Totally Stampalicisous - Anything Goes
Digital Tuesday Challenge - #136 Anything Goes
Raise the Bar - # 82 No Embellishment

LLM Chloe & Sarah

It's New Release time again at Little Miss Muffet Stamps and some even better news:

!! Hooray - it's a SALE !!

Barbara of Little Miss Muffet Stamps will be out of town for the rest of the week and orders will be filled on her return Sunday evening. Due to the long wait... from now until Sunday evening (8:00 pm Central Time), anyone who places an order of $10.00 or more can pick out a FREE digi!! Just include you choice in the comments section of your order and Barbara will include it with your purchase! :D

Now on to the New Releases. Meet Sarah and Chloe. Sarah is reclining in the rocker with her book and Hot Cocoa while happy little Chloe dishes the latest new to her big sis. Well, at least that what I envisioned when I merged Sarah and Chloe together with MIC's - fireplace digi.


I had to main goals when I put together this card. First; to finally dig into the gorgeous Bo Bunny - Vicki B Collection DP which was also paper pieced as wallpaper.

Secondly; to emphasize the shadows and highlights cast by the fireplace on all the elements, not just the characters. Since the fireplace was my source of light, the characters and such have areas closest to the fireplace highlighted and are in shadow on areas furthest away from the fireplace.


I love how Chloe's shirt turned out. Yes I did purposely change the order of the pink and green stripes on the sleeves, but I think it looks a bit random now. Should have stuck to a pattern. I also admittedly went easy on the layout, since it took me such a long time colouring the image.

How's the photo? I am trying a new trick I learned from watching this tutorial from Deconstructing Jen. I have a standard off the shelf digital camera that won't do the adjustments Jen suggest. I however did follow the Level-white eye dropper and sharpening effect in PS on my image. The difference was HUGE! Can't rave enough about the changes.

This card is submitted into the following challenges:
Send A Smile 4 Kids - For the Girls
Cute Card Thursday - #189 Baby Your a Firework
Papertake Weekly Challenge - Anything Goes
Stamptacular Sunday Challenge - #136 Borders & Frames

Agent Popcorn Release

Don't you just love when a card falls together so easily and actually turns out the way you envisioned it. Hasn't happened much for me lately until this card - hurray!

I just ADORE this Agent Popcorn new release from Little Miss Muffet Stamps, Agent Popcorn is so fun and inspired such a fun card to make.

After getting this awesome image, I went on a hunt for a popcorn box, movie film strip and scene clacker svg's. Then changed my mind and downloaded free clipart of all 3 instead of svg's. I printed the popcorn box 3 times: once for the card base, once for the card front and the last time to 3D pop some of the kernels. I added Skittles to make the popcorn look buttered.

I originally wrote in pen on the scene clacker, but didn't like it, so blacked over it then used my Dyno Label Maker for my Girl's Night sentiment.

Don't forget to stop by the LLM - Challenge Blog and see all the other wonderful creations.

I am submitting this card in the following challenges:
My Mum's Craft Shop Challenges - Food & Drink
Simon Says Stamp and show - Show Some Stripes
Stamptacular Sunday Challenge - #134 You Choose
Tip Top Tuesday - #56 Layer It
Bling It On... - No Patterned Papers (The popcorn box is clip art, not DP)
