Gated Heart Stamp

I finally jumped in and tried my hand out on stamp making. The process is easy but haven't quite gotten the hang of consistency between exposures yet.
With my new adventure in mind, I have created some original stamps that I'm going to have professionally manufactured. My first piece is called Gated Heart.  After creating my home crafted prototyped, my twin girls ran with the idea and created some samples posted below. I think they did a fabulous job.

eri•doodle Gated Heart specs:
LARGE Size: 4.25" X 4"
Type: It will be a cling. Will post more later.
Can be used with Sizzix Die 38-0801 Heart #2 to cut out center heart as in samples.
Cost: Taking wishes right now to get an idea of how many to have made and cost. Trying to keep it affordable. Email my if you are interested (no obligation). Will post a price and notify all who send me an email as soon as I have an idea on cost. Click on my email link on right side of my blog.

UPDATE: So far the cost would be way up there, more than I want to charge. If anyone can do this for a reasonable cost. Email me.

Digital Quick Page "Oh My!" flowers

"Oh My!"

I have been busy working on a quick page for a contest entry over at Cool Scraps Digital. Once a month a designer there allows contest participants to use one of their amazing kits to make a quick page. This month Cocotounette created the kit "Oh My"  Here is my contest entry, QP download and an example of how it can be used with a photo. The photo window on the download is transparent so all you have to do is place photo behind png image. Example- a little Photoshop magic image overlaps frame.

Update: WON 2nd Private Selection! Whoo hoo.

Pink, Purple and Blue Mushrooms

Still have fairies on my mind. Wouldn't these pink, purple and blue mushrooms be cute with the little baby fairies from the earlier blog?
  Original size is about 5 X 3 so you can use them quite large on you scrapbooking page, card or craft. The low res image here is free, but you can buy the high resolution eri*doodle image for just .99 and I will email it to you.

You are welcome to add my blog link to share the freebies with others, but please do not post the image or create links directly to image. Of course you cannot resell the images directly, but you may use them in your own art that is to be sold. For commercial use. Please contact me.

The cutter behind the fairy wings

The cutter behind the fairy wings

About the time Cricut popped up, I took a look at cutters and choose to go with the Klic-N-Kut MAXX 24". There were some big dreams going on there to buy one so large, but as an artist, I just can't have limitations. :)  Mainly, I choose the Klic-N-Kut for two reasons, one, I could design my own work and second because the power. It can cut through thicker stock. Just to be clear, I am also a fan of Cricut especially since you can now use .SVG files.  It has some great cartridges too. For those of you not familiar with using SVG files on their Cricut or other cutter, take a look at Sure Cuts Alot Thier site.
They have a Sure Cuts Alot 3 for Craftwell eCraft™, Black Cat Cougar/Lynx™, BossKut Gazelle™, Pazzles Inspiration, Silhouette SD™, USCutter™, Craft ROBO/Graphtec™ and Wishblade™. Note: Sure Cuts ALot 2 works on the Cricut.
For Klic-N-Kut, you can visit their site here scrapbookdiecutter.

 Here is an example of some very large, delicate, tattered fairy wings I designed for the cutter. They span 7.5" X 10.5". These wings are meant to be used large due to the intricate details in the cutting. I envisioned these wings to be used not only for scrapbooking but mounted on a fairy doll (for display only) perhaps cut out of thin metal, acetate or cardboard stock (recommended).  They could also be used as butterfly wings or even a dark fairy when cut in black.
There are three parts to the wings that can be use all together or separately. One is a solid cut for the peep-a-boo background.
Displayed in the photo with the fairy, I used the top wings, colored then and glittered them and folded them in half. They came out gorgeous! Photo does not do them justice. The other image is to give you an idea of the layers.

Buy the SVG or KNK Wings1 file for $6. File emailed. You get three layers of wings to cut. Use together or by alone.
