StampInsanity Challenge #3 and Smeared and Smudged Blog Hop

Woah, what a title! There’s a lot going on today, and that title proves it! Not only am I sharing a brand new image from StampInsanity with you, but I am also a part of the huge Blog Hop over at Smeared and Smudged! Meet Lita!

Lita-Pop-Up

She is from Beth’s newest collection, that has been released today! We needed to use Lita and/or Roder (her rocker buddy) in this challenge along with pulling inspiration from the Hot Topic T-shirt below.

Mad

Now, I’ll admit, I had Lita colored in way before I knew what the challenge was. I couldn’t help it! She was too cool to let sit there uncolored! So, I just tied the card itself into the shirt.

Obviously, the rad ribbon I used works directly back to the shirt. And I used my brand spankin’ new D’vine Swirls embossing folder (which I have wanted for, like, ever!) along with Core’dinations Black Magic cardstock. The under color is blue… but it’s a bit tough to see unfortunately.

Lita-Pop-Up2

Seriously. She is so damn cool!

So, for the Smeared and Smudged Blog Hop, we were to create something with a ‘Surprise” since it’s April Fool’s Day. So what’s my surprise? Well, ya gotta open up the card!

Lita-Pop-Up-Inside

I made my first pop-up card! Nothing too special or complicated, but it’s a pop-up nonetheless. Here’s a different angle.

The sentiment is also part of the new Lita and Roder collection. Remember, you can only purchase StampInsanity stamps from Stamp Happens! I love the font!!! I used more black and white paper to harken a bit back to the inspiration shirt. Plus added some teal to the edges as a reminder of the turquoise on the shirt. So yeah. It’s not as obvious a draw from the shirt, but like I said, I just HAD to use this Lita!

I’m lovin’ how this card came out! I love the textures and the different patterns. And I am really happy with the pop up!

Of course, the rest of the Groovy Gurlz have some fantabulous other projects to share with you, but so I don’t confuse you with the other Hoppers, please refer to my sidebar to check out the rest of the StampInsanity Gurlz! Now here is the full roster of S&S Hoppers. Start wherever you like, but please try to stop by everyone’s blog! We all worked really hard and would love for you to show us all some love!

I know I'm late on the blog hop, but we had a wedding to go to on Thursday and the weekends are always a bit busy for me, so I didn't get to it 'til today!
I LOVE this card! But, lol, I always want the rubber stamps that people use, there are some beauties out there and I have to keep reminding myself that I'm just RUBBISH at rubber stamping and should really stick to digis :D

This is awesome -- Lita is so adorable and bad-ass with her awesome hair! I love that Cuttlebug folder as well and I use that one a lot. You are a perfect match for StampInsanity's stamps!

Christmas in July with Imagine Crafts & Stencil Girl!

Hello! Have you heard? The Imagine AIRs have been hopping with Stencil Girl! If you have been here before, you know I loooove me some stencils, so this collaboration was very exciting for me! The teams are hopping for 3 consecutive Saturdays, and this is week 2. I have the entire list of hop links at the bottom of the post. Be sure you don't miss anyone! I decided to to create an extra large gift tag with my new stencils. Using red cardstock, I taped down the Journal Texture #8 Stencil  and inked it up with Golden Glitz Delicata ink . I promise you, this is the BEST gold ink you will ever use! The Journal stamp only has 2 diamonds on it (it's a 4x4" stencil), so after I inked up the first pair, I moved over the stencil, lined it up, and inked again. Next I wanted to do something textural with the Urban Insiders Star . So I took some evergreen cardstock, taped down the star, and slathered on some yummy Iridescent Green Creative Medium . After the medium dried, I ga

Remembering Aletha

Greetings, Friends. This post today is part of a very special blog hop. We are celebrating the life of an amazingly talented artist and friend. The crafting community lost Aletha Jane Williams on May 5, 2019. Those of us that worked with her on Design Teams or on Challenge Blogs all agree that she was one of the sweetest and most talented women we knew. We are not here to mourn her loss though. This hop is happening in conjunction with a very special celebration of her life and her art that her husband Bob is holding in her home city of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Please join us in honoring our incredibly creative friend Aletha . My card features the "Remembering Aletha" Sprite, which Mitzi (owner and artist of Aurora Wings ) created specifically for this hop. She is generously giving the digi away to all, over on her blog. This sweet Sprite looks so much like Aletha, and I know she would have been honored. If you download this digi for yourself, please be sure to give a huge "
