Welcome to The Scrapbooking Queen and the ...A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS Blog Hop!
If you've come from visiting Rebecca Blog you're in the right place! If you've just happened across my blog and would like to play along with our fun hop, you can go to Kassidy@ Inking it Up Crazy and start at the beginning. We would love to share a few of our favorite things with you today!
Each Design Team member will be featuring a project made especially for this hop using their favorite crafting tools and techniques. Make sure to check out each member's blog. There will be some fun prizes along the way, AND there will be some AWESOME ideas!
Everyone knows I love crowns and I have been called the
Queen of Everything for many years...
so I picked my blog name The Scrapbooking Queen
to go along with that image...
I love bling and try to find any reason to add it to cards...
I just adore the PKS Faces they just make any card or
cut look so adorable
Here how I reach that extra cuteiness on my cards.
First Stamping is key to a clean image
Make sure you're on a solid flat surface to stamp
I use a Acid~Free Fast Drying Ink
StazOn {Jet Black}
{see where I pressed too hard}
I then take my Royal White Gel Pen
The better the Pen the nicer the flow of ink.
To brighten up any Image add a few smartly placed dots...
Notice I add dots to the eyelashes this really
make them sparkley
I use craft chalk and a good eye
make ~up applicator to add the cheeks
a few more of the White Gel Ink Dots...
The mouth or lips depending on your stamp image
Use a Bic Mark~its or Red or Pink Gel Pens
Finally the finished image..
Stitch around your image to make it "POP"
These added detail to any card or scrapbook layout will just
make the your creation carry the "WOW" factor..
For my giveaway I like to give a set of
- I really like you to become a follower of my blog.

I will have Random.Org pick a winner and post next week on my blog...

My favorite thing right now is my Cricut. Thanks for the tips on highlighting. (I studied a lot of the images you did for your projects at PK this week to see how you do it.)

I just became a follower today! Thanks so much for going step by step with how to ink those adorable faces. I have one set of face stamps, but I only ever just stamp it, because (I am sad to say) I am not very good at stamping and never could figure out how to do all of those super cute things! Your tips were awesome! Thanks so much for sharing!
love your card and thanks for giving such excellent instructions!

Very cute, thanks for the face tips! I like to outline my cuts with stickles to make them pop. I'm a big fan of using my embossing folders and chalking the designs to make them pop too :)
My favorite tool would have to be ny cricut but after that, my ATG.

Hi, great tips!! Super cute faces!!My tip is to use a little tiny piece of masking tape in the corners of the paper on my Cricut mats.. this prevents the paper from slipping on not so sticky mats. Hugs Colleen laysig at telus.net
GREAT tips.. I too am a PKS LOVERRR .. I use them babies every chance I get!! I also LOVE my Sarah Pink Cricut and MPS stamps!! LOVE them!!

What a busy woman! Your cards are gorgeous! Thank you for sharing!
Aw, great card! :)
My favorite things to use would be ribbon and glitter.. :D I love adding glitter to highlight a card, for example on edges and details. :)
And I love very much using the Bow-Easy tool for the ribbons... It's great! Although mine is a bit "ghetto".. It's just a piece of cardstock cut out to look like the Bow-easy, but it still works very well. ;)
Loved your step by step directions on your super cute card! My favorite tools are my cricut and my gypsy!

Theresa, WOW is all I can say about your PK face stamps tutorial, with your talent it really makes the item a cutie!! My 'tool' that I grab most often is a pushpin...I use it to punch out tiny things from Cricut cuts, make brad holes, paper pierce, help lift corners of pop dots/tape, etc and it is handy on the bulletin board in front of me!
Great blog hop thanx for sharing.

Thank you so much for the lesson on using the Peachy Keen stamps so effectively - what a difference the extra steps make! I also met you earlier today in Alex's Birthday blog hop. Favorite thing: so many but let's say Cricut, Gypsy, bling. My new favorite will hopefully be Peachy Keen stamps, I've wanted them for quite some time. Amyscats, amylfahnestock@gmail.com
I need to get one of those magic gel pens for my faces,thanks for sharing.
karen k3 at ameritech dot net
Love your "Queen" card and thanks for sharing how you add to the Peachy faces. Wow, what a difference from plain ink to adding pizzaz to it! The heart turned out so, so cute!
My favorite tool is my cricut and cuttlebug. (I'm still getting used to my cricut.) ☺

very cute heart card.
A few of my favorite things are all of my Cricut Cartridges (87) and my Zip Dry. It's been lots of fun making it to the end of the hop. Thank you for taking the time to share everything.
Cowbelleru@sbcglobal.net
just tried elmers restickable glue stick on my mats and it works but don't ever use glue gone on them :)! take it from me I found out the hard way!!!
I love your cards. The faces are so happy. My favorite tool is my iRock at the moment. I have been blinging everything:)
My favorite thing right now has to be my Gypsy because I can design what I am going to cut from a more comfortable place than where my Cricut is.
Is the gypsy considered a tool? then it is my fav.... I just got it 2 weeks ago and I am in heaven!
thanks for the tip on how to make the faces, now i need to figure out where to find your white pen.
