Enjoy The Little Things

  Hi everyone!

 I'm so excited to be back as a guest designer for

  Gerda Steiner Designs!!

 Today I am sharing a card that I made using an adorable stamp set called

Pool Piggies.

There are 8 super fun images in the Pool Piggies stamp set, along with 1 sentiment. 

All of the little piggies are adorable, but I was drawn to this one reading his book. I love to go to the beach and get lost in a good book so he definitely called to me lol!

I started my A2 card by adding 2 different patterned papers to the front. I added a strip of yellow to help divide the patterns a little. Next, I die cut a large tag from some blue patterned paper and created a little beach scene by adding a small amount of white cardstock to act as the sea foam along with some Kraft cardstock to act as the sand. I die cut a palm tree and added that to my tag as well. Next was the really fun part! I stamped that little Pool Piggie, and his beach towel, with some Memento Tuxedo black Ink and colored them in with my Copic markers. Once I had both images colored, I did a bit of fussy cutting and added them to my tag. I stamped a sentiment from the Hello Friend Tortoise stamp set with some Black Versafine Ink, trimmed it down and added it to my tag, tucking it under the palm just a bit. I added my tag to my card front and completed the look with some yellow twine, enamel shaped shells and some white Nuvo drops. 

 I think this turned out so cute!!

Here is a look at the card that I created:

I'm getting ready for Christmas by trying to get a little ahead on my Christmas cards that I send out, so these challenges were perfect!

To create my card, I added a piece of green patterned paper on top of my white A2 card base. Next, I followed the above sketch and built my layers, adding them to the card with foam tape. I stamped that image from Pink & Main with some Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it with my Coic markers. Once I had it colored in, I used the coordinating dies to cut it out and popped it up with more foam tape. I added some doodles, some white glitter, & enamel dots to complete my card.

 Hi crafty friends!

I hope you are all doing well!

Although I am enjoying Summer, I also know that the Christmas season will be here before we know it! I decided to take a little break from the heat and create a Christmas card using one of the adorable new images from Pink Gem Designs.

How cute is this little bear? There are a total of 6 super cute bears in the

  Christmas Bears Digital stamp set. 

I think they are all cute but this one holding the stocking was calling out to me for this card lol!

I started by covering my white A2 cardbase with some wood grain polka dotted paper. I cut some red snowflake patterned paper at an angle and added that to the bottom left corner. I die cut a scallop from some green plaid paper and added that as well. I colored that adorable little bear with my Copic markers and used my Scan N Cut to cut him out. I adhered a white scallop rectangle to my card front and popped up my little bear with some foam tape.  I used a black Micron pen to add some black doodling around the perimeter of my card, as well as my white rectangle. I die cut some snowflakes from some white glitter cardstock and added them to my card, along with a few white Nuvo drops. I completed my card by popping up my sentiment to the top right of my card with foam tape. 

I think this came out so incredibly cute!!
