A Merry Little Christmas!

Hi crafty friends!

I hope you are having a fabulous day!

I'm so happy to be back as a guest designer for Digi Doodle Studios!

Digi Doodle Studios is a digital stamp company that has some of the cutest images!!  There is so much versatility with how big or small you want your image to be with digital stamps, not to mention the storage space saved in my craft room lol!

Here is a look at the card that I created to share with you today:

Isn't this image, Snowdrop & Niblet, so cute?

I started by creating a white A2 top folding card and covering the front with some snowflake patterned paper. I colored my Snowdrop & Niblet image with my Copic markers, fussy cut it out and set it aside while I worked on my card. I used a scallop frame die to cut out my frame, cutting the outer scallop portion out 3 times to give some dimension. I placed the inner frame onto my card front and layered my Snowdrop and Niblet image on top. I created a hill from some stitched border dies, stamped my sentiment and adhered it to the backside of my scallop frame. I added my frame to the front of my card and added a bit of glitter to the hills and leaves. I decided to do a little fussy cutting to the present for a little interest so I found some patterned paper that coordinated with the colors that I had colored my image, ran it through my printer, cut it out and glued it to my present. I finished my card with a bit of hemp cording that I tied into a bow and some white gel pen accents.

 

I think this is just adorable!! I can't help but smile when I look at this cute image!

Here is a look at the cards that I created...

Cute right?? I fell in love with this stamp set as soon as I saw it!

First I created my card front using the above sketch as my inspiration on how to lay out everything. I decided to cut some thin strips of white cardstock and glue them on top of my patterned papers so that I could add a little separation. I colored my little gingerbread from the Gingerbread Joy stamp set from Simon Says Stamp with my Copic markers and used the coordinating dies to cut it out. I placed it into the center of my circle and added the sentiment underneath. I added some glitter the the gumdrops on the gingerbread and placed some enamel dots and hearts to finish my card. 

While I had everything out, I decided to make a second card.

I made this one the same way, just used different patterned papers and a different image/sentiment.

I thought that sentiment was absolutely perfect to go along with that image haha!!

So cute!!

Stellar Birthday!

 Hi everyone!

I hope you are having a fabulous day so far!

Today I am popping in real quick to share a card that I created with a couple of challenges in mind. 

Here is a look at the card...

I purchased this adorable image called Ainsley Astronaut  from Digi Doodle Studios a couple of weeks ago, colored her up with my Copic markers and set her aside! You know how that goes right? You just get busy with other things, or is that just me? haha! Well, I came across her when I was cleaning off my desk and sat down and turned her into a card before I forgot again haha!

I started with a white A2 top folding card base and added a light purple strip towards the bottom and doodled around the perimeter of my card front. I did a little ink blending to create a galaxy background and added some white and gold paint splatters. Once my galaxy was dry, I used a scallop rectangle die to cut it out and placed it onto my card, centering it as best as I could. I cut out my astronaut using my Scan N Cut and popped her onto my card with some foam tape. I cut out my sentiment using a banner die and placed that underneath her, trying to align it with the purple strip that is behind the background panel. I die cut some stars, placed them onto my card and added a few white doodles to her outfit to complete my card. 

I think this turned out so cute!!

Let It Snow with The Greeting Farm!

 Hi everyone and happy Tuesday! 

 I am back to share one last post as September's Guest Designer for The Greeting Farm!

A huge thank you to The Greeting Farm for having me! It has been an absolute privilege!

For my card today, I wanted to use one of the new stamps released this month, Holiday Anya 13.

Here is a look at what I created...

I think she is just the cutest...and her little companion?? Cutest penguin ever!!

I decided to go with more of a winter themed card and it was super easy to do, just by simply changing up the sentiment. I stamped my image from the Holiday Anya 13 onto a piece of white Hammermill cardstock and colored her in with my Copic markers. I decided to do a little paper piecing, so I stamped her onto 2 pieces of patterned paper scraps so that I could give a little interest to her jacket, skirt and hair bow. 

Copic Colors Used:

Skin: E50, E51, E21, R20

Hair: YR20, E31, E33, E35

Headband/Boots/Jacket Fluff/Mitten: C00, C1, C2, BG57, BG49, RV34

Penguin: V12, V15, V17, C00, C0, C1, C2, C3, C4, C6, R00, YR21

I cut her out using the Scan N Cut and set her aside while I worked on my card.

I created an A2 top folding card and covered the front with some light blue patterned paper and added a "snowy" hill. I cut a piece of striped patterned paper out using a scallop rectangle die and then created an opening in the middle. I stamped my sentiment using an older stamp set titled, Let It Snow* onto a piece of white cardstock and used the same dies to cut it out so that it would layer perfectly onto my striped panel. I popped up my striped panel with foam tape and added my Holiday Anya 13 with more foam tape to create a little dimension in my scene.

*While Let It Snow is currently not available at the moment, it can be requested for a future Farmers Market using the Contact Page on the store site.

I completed my card with a few snowflake sequins and some white Nuvo drops!

I think they are both so adorable!

September Mini Release

Happy Thursday! 

It's time for our new mini Sept release over at Jaded Blossom! 

We have a few new items available! Check them out HERE

Here is what I made using the new items...

 

For my first project, I decided to go with a Thanksgiving/Thankful themed card.

I created an A2 top folding card using some Kraft Cardstock. I used the Rectangle Dies 2 to cut out another piece of Kraft Cardstock, layering that on top of my card base & stamping the sentiment from the Friendsgiving stamp set onto the bottom right corner with some brown ink. I used the Card Layer Dies 2 to cut out a sheet of plaid patterned paper to get my diagonal piece, layering a piece of white and brown cardstock onto it that I cut out using the Border Dies. I popped it up onto my card with some foam tape and added some leaves that I cut out using the Street Lamp Die: Fall Add Ons.

I finished my card with some doodling, enamel hearts, Nuvo drops and some gems.

For the inside of the card, I used the extra diagonal piece that the Card Layer Die 2 cut out and added a brown scallop that I cut out using the Border Dies. I stamped my greeting using the Sunflowers For Sale stamp set, added more doodling and some leaves from the Fall Embellishment Clusters.

For my second project, I couldn't resist making a fun Halloween themed card. 

For this card, I started by creating the background for my scene. I used the Stylized Rectangle Dies and cut out two pieces of cardstock, one purple and one green.  I used the Spring Dies to cut out my grassy edge and added that to my purple cardstock, layering a fence that I cut out using the Halloween Scenic Dies in between my grass pieces. I added my background to a white A2 top folding card and began building my adorable little witch! I created her using the Girl Gnome Dies and the Gnome Dies: Halloween Costume Add Ons 2 and placed her onto my card, letting her foot hang off of the scene just a bit. I cut some clouds using the Spring Dies 2 & Gnome Dies: Weather Add Ons and added those to my card. I created my street lamp by using the Street Lamp Die, Street Lamp Die: Valentine Add On and the Haunted Highway stamp set. I placed it onto my card, allowing the top to hang off of the scene a bit as well. I finished my card by adding some bats from the Halloween Embellishment Clusters.
