LDRS Creative ~ Barnyard

Hi Friends,

Today I am bringing you a fun Barnyard scene. I love creating scene cards. This LDRS Stamp and Die set creates endless possibilities.


This scene began with the Farmer's Market 6x6" paper pack. I loved the rolling hills but I wanted to have the feel of a sky so I used the checked paper to create the feel of there being a sky. Adding the Clouds from the Barnyard stamp set pulled it all together.


Here is a closer picture of the bard. If you look closely you will see that the die cuts out all of the doors and windows. It even cuts little holes out on the windows. So that I would not see the background behind the open doors and windows I simply added back paper behind all the openings. You could even add characters inside the windows and doors.

LDRS Products Used:

Barnyard Stamp Set
Barnyard Die Set
Farmer's Market 6x6" paper
Country Fence die, Pocket size

LDRS Creative ~ Crazy For Daisies

Welcome back friends,

Today I have a fun coloring project to share. As soon as I spotted this NEW LDRS Creative's set, Crazy For Daisies, I immediately wanted to color it. For my project I have just used the large focal stamp but this set offers even more. See below for details.


To design this card my focus is always color first. I look at the coloring in the paper and decide on marker colors. For this project I have used Spectrum Noir Classique Markers. They were a joy to work with.

LDRS Creative Products Used:


The Crazy For Daisies Stamp set also has an amazing coordinating die set. Make sure to check that out.


Here is a close up of my coloring. I have used the New Spectrum Noir Classique Alcohol markers on this project.

Make sure to check out the LDRS Creativer Blog for even more inspiration.

Some Odd Girl ~ Snow Fun Tia

Hi Friends! 

I hope this post is finding you warm and toasty during these winter months. I am about to have my second surgery of this winter but luckily SOG allowed me to just do 1 card for November and one in December which really helped me a lot. 

I have colored up "Snow Fun Tia" today for my project and I had so much fun creating this card for all of you.


This card just sparkles. I have used lots of glitter card stock to create a snowflake background perfect for Snow Fun Tia!!! Isn't she beautiful? She seems so joyous to me. It reminds me of when I was a little girl wanting to play in the snow.



Above is a close up of my coloring. I have used Copic alcohol markers. Before coloring this I had not looked at the image in the advertising of this digital stamp. It was also colored in the same color scheme. Such a funny coincidence. 

You guys are going to want to run over to the Some Odd Girl website to purchase this little Tia stamp. It is so fun for your winter cards.... Here is one last look... Have a wonderful winter everyone! Melanie

Some Odd Girl ~ Kiss a Prince Tia

Welcome back friends!

Today I would love to share a fun little project with all of you. I am using "Kiss a Prince Tia" from the Some Odd Girl online store. She was so adorable and as soon as I saw her I knew I wanted to create a scene card. I did not realize at the time that Some Odd Girl has the PERFECT CUT File which can be downloaded. CLICK HERE! to check out the file.


As you can see I created a scene using some dies from my stash. They are from C.C. Designs. I have. colored this adorable stamp using Copic alcohol markers. I then added some glitter pen to her crown as well as some colored pearls just to add a touch of royalty! Here is a close up photo...




Here is one last look to my project this week. I hope it inspires you to grab "Kiss a Prince Tia" from the online store and have a fun time coloring her with your favorite medium.

Some Odd Girl ~ Laptop Toby

Welcome Back Friends,

Today I am here to share my Son's 21st. birthday card. I am using the Some Odd Girl "Laptop Toby" Digital image. My son Zachary is a gamer and his favorite color is blue. It is so hard to find good images for Men. This is such a great image to use for all of those masculine cards!!!


I kept the card design pretty simple and let the image speak for itself. With just a couple of designer papers and dies I was able to create this card pretty quickly.
Here is a close up of Laptop Toby to show my coloring up close. I used Alcohol markers to color this fun digi.

Here is one last look at today's card. If you are not already visiting Some Odd Girl on Facebook click HERE to join our Facebook Community. We would love to inspire you on a daily basis :-)
Hugs, Melanie
