Drag Life with Kindred Stamps!!!

Hello and welcome back fellow crafters!! I’m doing a guest spot with Kindred Stamps for the November release and I had SOOOO much fun with this set!! It’s a set of fabulous Drag Queens!!!! Complete with some super funny, snarky sentiments!! SOOOO much fun!!! This is Drag Life!

The background was inked with some Catherine Pooler inks and Tim Holtz Oxides. The inside says, “Aging is a drag. Happy Birthday” How Cute is she!?!?!

For my next project I decided to do a little drag show! I used both characters that come with the set and created a stage scene complete with tracks for them to move around and work it girl!!!!

I’m soo honored that Audra asked me to help with this release as these queens are very near and dear to my heart! If you’re on my Facebook page you know that I love to dress up in drag and my best friend is a very popular Drag Queen & entertainer in the Los Angeles night club scene! Not to mention, a movie about drag queens back in the 90’s was what made me realize who and what I was , helped me come out of the closet and be a proud gay man!!

Thank you sooo much Audra from Kindred Stamps for thinking of me and having me a part of this awesome release!! I hope you all enjoyed!!!

The entire Kindred Stamps November release will be available Friday, November 9th at 8am PST/11am EST.

Witt & Sass Stamp Company Designer Cupcake

Hello and welcome back fellow crafters!! I’m back to share my next project for Amy at Witt & Sass Stamp Company!!! This next set is SUPER fun because you can totally customize it over and over and over!! 

It’s called Designer Cupcake Stamp Set!! 

Okay, so my take is a little on the dark side, lol! I had to make an Over The Hill Birthday Card, so I choose to make mine the “Cupcake of Death!” Take a look.

I JUST love the way it turned out!! I masked the skull on top of the cupcake and added a “Eat Me” tag!!!

I finished the inside of the card with a dark little limerick and added the Happy Birthday sentiment from the set and again, the skull.

I found these pretty cool papers at Michael’s and the paper with the black design on it is a felt type paper, it’s pretty cool!!!

Witt & Sass Stamp Company Magical Creatures

Hello and welcome back fellow crafters!!! I'm back with another FABULOUS release from Amy at Witt & Sass Stamp Company!! I'm so excited to share this one with you!!!

SOOO many of us just love Harry Potter!!! It defined a whole generation!!! On that note, I've never seen anyone do such a fun take on this theme! Check these out!!! 

This is the Magical Creatures Stamp Set!!!

Isn't it just FANTASTIC!!!!! I choose to work with the snake in the set and here's my creation!

I did a magical scene!! So the snake is in his magic room creating some evil spells and tonics!!! Lol. I hand drew the bookshelves, brick wall and shield and added the S from the magical creatures set in the middle of the shield. Kind of like a Coat of Arms. I also used a Martha Stewart punch to add the black drips at the bottom of the card.

As always, I like to finish the inside of my cards as well.

I used a sentiment form the Magical Creatures set as well as the flying keys from the set. How cute are they!!!
