Bring me sunshine!

Hi everyone, Mary J here, looking forward to the weekend!  Those who know me know I HATE the winter so to cheer myself up, I decided to go for a sunshiney card...

I enjoyed making this card, it brightened up my day!  This is Some Odd Girl Sunny Mae stamped on Make It Colour Blending Card and coloured with Copics.  I created my own background using the sun rays stamp included in the set.   I matched her up with a touch of paper from the Echo Park Country Drive Collection Kit and a hint of orange at the top using the MFT Die-Namics - Mini Scallop Edge die.

Okay, I am off now but I'll see you next week with another Quixotic Inspiration make!

A Meow-y Christmas

Good morning Bloggers! It's Sandie here with another inspiration post for you. Today I am featuring a super cute stamp from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - Meow-y Christmas.

I stamped my image onto Make It Colour Blending card with Memento black ink. Then I coloured it up with Copic Markers:

Kitty: C5, C7, C9, R12

Stocking: R22, R24, R29. Y21, Y26, Y28

Nail: C1, C3

My papers are Season's Greetings from Echo Park and they've been matted, and stitched onto red and white cardstock. Once I had everything layered up I trimmed out my image and adhered it with 3D foam dots for extra dimension. To finish off I added some 'pearls' using the Viva Decor Paper Pen in Opal.

Another Christmas card crossed off my list - hope you're making progress with yours!!

Have a creative day

Sandie

Spooky Mischief with Perfect Poison

Hi folks!  It's me - Elaine - here with another spooky card to share.

If you haven’t already, make sure you check out the inspiration from this week and enter the giveaway in >this post<. Tomorrow will be your last chance to enter the giveaway, and Delphine will be here showing off the final spooktacular make in our little event!

The spooky little lady on my card today is PERFECT POISON from Annie Rodrigue's Moonlight Whispers range at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.  There really are some fantastic spooky cute images in the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps range, catering for all tastes.

I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Make it Colour Blending Card and coloured with ShinHan Touch Twin Markers.

Designer papers are Echo Park Chillingsworth Manor 6×6. The stunning corner diecut was cut using one of the new Dies by SCACD designs – Alice’s Clock Statement Corner. I added a little bow tied with the help of my Bow Easy template, and accented with one of the MFT Die-Namics Halloween Charms diecuts.

I hope you have been enjoying our spooky creations this week, I've certainly been thrilled by the makes the other girls have posted so far! 

Have a wonderful weekend,

~Elaine

Spooky treats!

Happy Friday everyone!  Mary J here continuing with our week of Halloween inspiration showcasing  spooky stash at Quixotic Paperie!  Today I want to share with you some treat holders that I made and filled with lollies...

Yum, don't cha think?!  These are definitely going to my niece and nephew - they are tooo cute!  I used papers from the Echo Park Chillingsworth Manor pad and more My Favorite Things Die-Namics...

Lollipop Treat die and stamp set 

1/4" Rosette Die 

Chevron Stripes die 

Mini Wavy Pennants die

Because I used the Lollipop Treat die and stamp set, they were super fast to make - both only took me 20 minutes to make!  And there are some more generic sentiments in the set so it's not just for Halloween - I'm gonna be making lots more of these!  Here's a closer look...

I hope you are enjoying our week of Halloween inspiration and don't forget to see this post here to be in for a chance to win the fab prize giveaway!!

Getting Spooky In Morticia's Gruesome Laboratory

Hey everyone, Zombie Kim Dellow here to give you a guided tour of Morticia's Gruesome Laboratory, please don't touch any of the bottles in the lab, you have no idea where they have been or what is inside them.

Please take your time to look around Morticia's Lab but if you should hear the terrifying klaxon, which is the wailing sound of many screaming voices, then you should know that your time on this planet has been numbered and there is no escape.

Enjoy your tour!

When Morticia isn't in her lab brewing and stewing she can be found hanging out with her monster pals in the Make It Crafty Mini MonstaGalz stamp set.

Her lab assistant Frankenstein, or Frankie to his friends, shoots pool with his monster gang on his days off over in the Make It Crafty MonstaBoyz set.

He doesn't really have a speech impediment, he just likes living up to people's expectation of an evil laboratory assistant, it was in the job description after all.

They kitted out their evil lab at very competitive rates from Zombie Kim Dellow Laboratory Equipment Supplies Ltd and their wallpaper was from the Echo Park Apothecary Collection with the extra Halloween greeting from the Artistic Outpost Haunted Halloween set.

That about wraps up our tour, thanks for coming and if you have any questions, now is the time to keep them to yourself. You will find the gift shop Quixotic Paperie's Scary Halloween section on your way out and don't forget to leave your mark in the visitors' book for a chance to win some yummy stuff.

Have a safe trip home!

Uh oh! I think I hear some wailing - you might want to run to the gift shop...

For the base, I used Black Soot Distress Ink and then I sprayed Ranger Adirondack Colour Wash Spray in Lettuce for a gooey sheen!  Paper-wise, I used the Echo Park Chillingsworth Manor pad and of course I used lots of My Favorite Things Die-Namics...

Flat Bottom Clouds die

Picket Fence

Hello all and Happy Sunday! It's Delphine here today to share a card featuring Mae, one of the beautiful Some Odd Girl characters!

I have stamped Mae with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on Make It Colour Blending Card and coloured her with Copics. The words, faux stitching border and pennant stamp are from the set and the die I used is MFT Die-Namics Simply Scallop Large die. The DPs are by Echo Park, from the So Happy Together 6x6 pad and Happy Days pad, and I have added a Make It Crafty Swirly Corner, coloured with a black Copic.

It's me. Lou. Good evening.. almost good night! HA. Perhaps some of you lucky people are already in bed. Early night and all. :) Sorry for the very late post.. I've been having major car trouble of late, and in my fluster this morning I totally forgot to get my post typed up before work. I apologise. I hope it's been worth the wait. :)

Today I've used another cutie from The Greeting Farm January 2012 Release.

Simply Anya

I've teamed her up with some yummy papers from Echo Park Victoria Garden collection and coloured her with Copics and ProMarkers to match. 

Recognise the layout?! It's the new sketch challenge for February/March. Join in with us!! There is a £15 Quixotic voucher up for grabs!!
