Riley in Oz - Sneak Peek Day 4!

Welcome to day four of sneek peek week! I hope you have been having fun and gathering all kinds of ideas!

This card features one of my favorite stamps in this series - Sophie as the Wicked Witch!

This card is soooooo easy to make! I used a Mega Nesties to cut the shape, and then used a slightly smaller Nesties from the same set (turned vertically) to cut a hole out of the front. I colored in our pretty wicked little moose with Copics (E33, E25, E 29, E 37, C5, C7, G14 over YG63, and E43) and attached her INSIDE the card behind the opening.

A simple little home made broom out of toothpicks and some real broom bristles (thanks Janet), a beautiful satin ribbon to match her hat and some rhinestones finished off this card!

The sentiment is from our new Oz Words 1 set that will be released tonight with the stamps! Make sure you come back tonight for the Blog Hop starting at 10 pm EST, 9 CST! There will be lots of Blog Candy randomly given away so make sure you leave comments! Once you are done with the Blog Hop you can go back to Riley's Web Page and get your new stamps! Yippeee!

Riley in Oz Sneek Peek - Day 3

I LOVE this card as a sympathy card. Isn't he sweet?

I actually stamped Riley on a piece of metal with black Stazon, heat set and cut him out. I colored with Copics (E33, E35, E49) and popped his head up with pop dots. Riley was placed on layered ovals and attached to a piece of ivory paper that was ran through the Devine Swirls Cuttlebug folder. The corners were made with a corner punch.

I put a gold (yes - gold) heart brad through a pewter button and colored it red with my copics. The card was finished off by adding a brown satin ribbon.

The words on the inside are part of the Oz Words 1 set that will be release on Thursday. It's a set of 14 really cool phrases on UM rubber. There is also an Oz Words 2 and a new Moose Greeting set! Yippie!

I hope you are enjoying our sneek peek week! The big day is tomorrow - don't forget the Blog Hop starts at 9 pm CST! And there is Blog Candy folks - lots of it!!

Riley in Oz - Sneek Peek Day 2

The entire OZ series is one of those releases that you can't stop playing with! You make one card and you want to make 6 more! Wooo Hoo!

This card features Riley as the Scarecrow! I call this my "Belated Birthday" card!

I broke out my Copic Airbrush for this one. (luv luv luv my airbrush) Once I finished coloring in Riley with copics (YG95, E57, E33, E35, E49), I put YG95 in my airbrush and sprayed the edges. I also sprayed the flowers with YG95 as well to match! They used to be white!!! I finished off the flowers by adding a button with a raffia knot to the flowers.

Nesties were used to cut out a border on the top piece of card stock and raffia was woven through the slots. Simple!!

Don't forget to check out the Design Team blogs this week for more sneeks of the Riley in Oz series! They are available for purchase at http://www.rileyandcompanyonline.com/ on Thursday!

Riley in Oz Sneak - Day 1

I had to start sneek peek week off with the moose that started it all - Sophie as Dorothy!

This card is so simple to make! I started off by coloring in "Dorothy" with copics (B12, B95, E71, E77, C3, C5, E21, E35, R37 and RV02) and then cut her out. I then popped her up on an oval that was layered on top of two other ovals I cut out with Nesties.

A Spellbinders large scallop border was used on the bottom and a corner punch rounded off the edges. I added pearls to her hair bows and buttons, as well as adornments on the card itself. Tie a nice bow with some pretty satin ribbon, add a hat pin and you are done! Oh - and don't forget the red Stickles on her shoes of course!!

Wouldn't this make a terrific "Welcome to the Neighborhood" card!

Make sure you visit all our designer's blogs for some amazing sneeks of the Riley in Oz release! You can purchase these cool stamps Thursday! Until tomorrow - MOOSE HUGS!
