My Updated Stamp Room
This is the top of my Alex drawers. It's where my stamp room starts at the back of the wall. I have two smaller stamp drawers with a mail center on top of it. All of my ribbons sit on the drawers.

Fall Cards
This card is done with all Art Impressions stamps. Just color the stamp with Brushart Markers and stamp them onto watercolor paper. Then take your watercolor brush & lightly wet the image. I just love the look.

What I've done with my Crafters Companion Ultimate Tool
The K-Card is my favorite card I've made with the tool so far. I used the amaller butterfly shape on the board to emboss the image & then cut it out. I then followed the video to make the card.

Club Posh is a great stamping community. I think it is composed of some of the friendliest stampers on the net. Be sure to check it out. They have Challenges that always have a twist. They're really fun to participate in & open to all members with no deadline. These two cards are for the challenges.
Inks:
Paper: Red Linen, White Glossy, Black Glossy
Accessories: Marvy Brush Art Markers, Swarovski Crystals, Stampin' Up! Tab Punch, Pilot Gold Paint Pen
The next card was for the fall challenge. The twist, we couldn't use orange. Lucky for us, there are tons of fall colors with no orange. All of the images are simply colored with Powder Keg embossing powders.

How about some Thanksgiving cards?
This is a Riley image. I think this silly little moose is cute. I stamped out a bunch of Riley images during Copic certification & ended up getting a few stamps as a result. I find him really easy to color with my Copics.

Christmas project & some more cards
Stamps: Snowflake-Unknown
This Card was made for a stamper over at Club Posh- Sandollar. She sent me some of her awesome scrap papers. Last week, I went through all of my stamps determined to start using the one's I haven't used before. I came up with less than I expected. However, this horse & foal were among the pile. I bought it over 10 years ago! I watercolored it using Tombo markers.
Stamps: Mare & Foal-Stampendous, Friends 24/7-Stampin' Up!, Sanded-Stampin' Up!
Stamps: Clear stamps from Inkadinkado, Friends 24/7-Stampin' Up!

House Mouse Monday Challenge Design Team Call
This mouse was colored using my Copic Markers. I stamped the image onto smooth white paper (it's labeled Maco's paper) with my Tuxedo Black Memento inkpad. The background stamp is from Impression Obsession and the greeting is from Inkadinkado. The image on the labels is from Hero Arts. I used Spellbinders Labels 4 & the ribbin tags.
This is the front of my wiper card. There is a how-to video over at Splitcoast stampers. It's a really fun card. The pumpkin is from Inkadinkado. The Splatter stamp is from Posh Impressions & the greeting is from Stampa Rosa (House Mouse.) The inside image that you'll see in a minute is House Mouse. Below are two pictures of the opened card. The mouse is colored with Prismacolor colored pencils.
This is another Halloween card. I just couldn't stop with one cute mouse in a costume! The mouse is colored with Prismacolor colored pencils. The image is stamped on a square cut out wiht the Spellbinders Square Nestabilities. The spiderwebs were done with Marth Stewart punches. The silver piece was embossed with a Cuttlebug folder. The corners were punched using the Stampin' Up ticket corner punch. The background was stamped with a spiderweb stamp from Inkadinkado.
This is one of my favorite House mouse images. It was part of Char's collection until she so kinly gifted me with it. The image was stamped onto Marco's paper with the Tuxedo Black Memento ink pad. It was then colored with Copic Markers. The embosing folder if Bird Call from Cuttlebug. The background was stamped with a Stampin' Up stamp. I went a little crazy with the crystals, but I think they added a really nice touch.
This is another image from Char's collection. I just love this playful image, but it was a nit time consuming to color! It is stamped on Marco's paper and stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink. The images were colored with Copic markers. The background stamp is from Hero Arts. The Fleur de Lis punch is from EK Success.

This card was done on purple shimmer paper. I stamped the baroque image from Stampin' Up's Friends 24/7 set with purple brilliance ink. The button is made with a spare piece of the background. The House Mouse image is colored with Copic markers. It is matted onto Spellbinders oval & scalloped oval Nestabilities.
This is just a closer view of the cute little mouse. I really like the way they look when done with Copics.
I think I'm in a cute mood. This owl sure is a cutie! It is from the Hero Arts Christmas owl clear set. It's stamped with Onyx Versafine ink & colored with Prismacolor colored pencils. His hat is colored with an Orange Copic marker. The background is another Splitcoaststampers idea. It is Aluminum foil (from the kitchen) attached to cardstock and then embossed with a Spellbinders Impressability folder (flowers-I think.) I then cut it with one of the label Nestabilities. The orange is a copic marker. The bat is from Stamps by Judith & the Happy Halloween image is from Inkadinkado. The pearls are from Hero Arts.World Card Making Day
This is a card I made a few years ago. It's one of my favorite Christmas cards. It's from a Make & Take I did at Impressions From the Heart when they were still open. We made a simpler card with the flower image. It was just a basic technique showing them how to blend Tombo markers with a waterbrush. It;s a really simple technique with stunning results. Each flower used just two colors.
This is the card open from two different views. The greetings are from Penny Black. The birds are from Hero Arts. The holly leaves are from Magents. I'm not sure about the large flower. It was a store stamp & I don't have it.
