Happy Birthday Wishes

Hi friends!

I hope are having a fabulous day!

Today starts a new challenge over at the

 Addicted To Stamps & More Challenge Blog and it is.... 

Here is a look at the card that I created:

I am always in need of birthday cards! This one was pretty simple to make! I started by creating my A2 cardbase from some heavy white cardstock. I stamped my greeting onto the card using some brown ink and rounded the bottom corner. Next I created my floral panel by using a metal die from Spellbinders from the May 2021 Large Die Of The Month set. I cut my panel out 3 times (white, kraft and the peach stripe) so that I could have a little visual interst between the elements. I die cut my flowers and leaves and added them to the panel, tied some hemp twine around and popped up my layer with foam tape onto my card front. I completed my card by adding some Wink Of Stella Shimmer on the light green leaves and some random white Nuvo Drops.

I hope you will stop by the Addicted To Stamps & More challenge blog to see the fabulous cards the team made as well as joining us and playing along! I would love to see what you create!

Hay There Chicky

 Hi crafty friends!

I hope you are all having a fabulous day!

Today I am sharing a card that I created using a super cute stamp set from Ink N Splatter titled, 

Gossip Chicks.

I created my card by first adhering a piece of woodgrain patterned paper from the Clucker Club Paper Pack to cover my white card base. I added a piece of floral paper, also from the Clucker Club Paper Pack, that I cut diagonally to the bottom corner of my card front and added a small strip of white card stock to help with the separation of the patterns just a bit. I colored those adorable chicks from the Gossip Chicks stamp set (aren't they cute??) with my Copic Markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I cut a piece of white cardstock using a cross stich die, stamped my sentiment and layered my little chicks on the front, popping up the smaller chick and the eggs with some foam tape. I die cut a scallop border from some red cardstock and added that below my images before adding some red gingham ribbon. I layered my image panel onto a piece of red cardstock, also cut with a cross stitch die, and popped it up onto my card front with more foam tape. I finished my card with a few white doodles, some black enamel dots and a little red enamel heart. Those chicks are just so cute and I only used 2 images that are in the set!! The Gossip Chicks stamp set has a bunch of adorable images in it, I can't wait to make another card using it!

Copic Markers Used:

**Chicks: W0, W1, R24, R27, R59, YR07**

Poinsettia Christmas Card

Hi friends!

I hope are having a fabulous day!

Today starts a new challenge over at the

  Addicted To Stamps & More Challenge Blog and it is.... 

Here is a look at the card that I created:

I kept this card pretty simple so that it would be pretty easy to mail and I love how it turned out! I started by covering my white card base with some plaid patterned paper and a strip of polka dot paper. I die cut a scallop rectangle from some light green patterned paper and added a piece of cream paper that I splattered with some gold watercolor for a little interest. I added a die cut greeting & popped up the panel onto my card front with some foam tape. I used a couple of poinsettia dies to create my flower and added that to the top left corner of my sentiment panel. I finished my card with a few gold Nuvo drops.

I think it turned out so pretty :)

Buzzing By With A Quick Hello!

 Hi friends!

I hope you are all having a fabulous day!

Today I am sharing a card that I created using an adorable stamp set from Ink N Splatter called, 

Sweet Honey Bears.

I created my card by starting with an A2 card base in yellow cardstock and layering some patterned papers from the Bumble Buzz 6x6 Paper Pack on top. I stamped my images from the Sweet Honey Bears Pairables stamp set using some Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them in with my Copic markers. Once I had them colored, I used the coordinating Sweet Honey Bears Dies to cut them out. I created a little frame using some more yellow cardstock and adhered it to a piece of white cardstock. I arranged my images and popped up my frame with some foam tape onto my card front. I stamped my sentiment with some Versafine Black Ink, used a fishtail die to cut it out and popped it up with foam tape underneath my framed image. I decided to pull out some stickles and add some sparkly honey drips to my beehive, as well as a little twine bow. I added some black Nuvo drops to my bears headband & a little bee to the sentiment to complete my card. 

I just adore this sweet little bear all dressed up as a little honey bee! Too cute!!

Copic Markers Used:

**Bear: E51, E53, E55, E57, E93**

**Bees & Bear's Dress: Y13, Y15, C3, C5, C7, B000, B0000**

Sweet Holiday Wishes Mini Slimline Card

 Hi crafty friends!

I hope your day is going wonderfully so far :) 

Today I have a super sweet card to share with you that I created with a few challenges in mind.

So many fun challenges! 

Here is a look at the card that I created to play along:

Using some Kraft cardstock and patterned papers from Doodlebug,  I cut my layers out for placement on my card following the design of the sketch. Once I had my main layers cut out, I stamped my images using an older stamp set from Pink and Main called Cocoa Kisses and colored them in with my Copics. Once I had all my images colored, I die cut them out using the coordinating dies and arranged them onto my die cut circle to create my little scene. I popped up the standing gingerbread with foam tape for a bit of dimension and added the circle piece to my card front with more foam tape.  I stamped a greeting from Jaded Blossom with some Versafine Ink onto a piece of Kraft cardstock and popped that up as well. I completed my card with a few white Nuvo drops and some shimmer on the candy (picture didn't pick that up though). So super cute! Definitely puts me in the Christmas mood

Wonderful Birthday Wishes

Hi friends!

I hope are having a fabulous day!

Today starts a new challenge over at the

  Addicted To Stamps & More Challenge Blog and it is....

Make Your Mark simply means we want to see your coloring using pens, pencils, markers, chalks, inks, etc. Easy right? Here is a look at what I created:

 I have had this stamp set from MFT for quite awhile now, I immediately ordered it when it came out in Spring 2020 cause I loved the images so much! Unfortunately, it has sat untouched...until now! I was so happy to pull it out of the packaging and actually ink it up! Yay!! I started by layering some pretty patterned paper onto an white A2 cardbase. I colored all my images with Copic markers and then used my Scan N Cut to cut them out. Once my colored images were all cut out, I built my scene onto a white rectangle, using a grass die as well, and stamped my greeting in the top corner. I tucked some pieces behind a layer of grass and popped others up with foam tape for some dimension. I popped up my scene with even more foam tape onto my card front and finished off my card with some enamel dots and a little bit of paper piecing on her apron. So cute!!

Copic Colors Used:

--House: E40, E41, E42, E43, E44, E23, E25, E27, R24, R27, R29, R89, C00, C0, Y15, Y11--
