Be Mine

 Hi everyone and happy Thursday!!

I hope the day is treating you good so far! 

Today I wanted to pop in and share a card that I made with a few challenge in mind.

I will be sure to link them below.

Here is a look at my card...

This is the card that I made to give to my hubby for Valentine's Day so I tried to keep it really simple. Masculine cards are always so hard for me but adding hearts and lovey dovey makes it that much harder haha!! I think he will love it though 💘

I started by creating an A2 card base using some white cardstock. I added some strips of patterned paper so that I had some color as well as somewhere to kind of ground my image. I colored that sweet little Be Mine Anya from The Greeting Farm with my Copic markers and used my Scan N Cut to cut her out. I popped her up onto my card using some foam tape and added a little glossy accents to her hair clip. 

I die cut some hearts using the Banner Die & Embellishment Clusters Die from Jaded Blossom, popped them up with more foam tape and added a couple of white Nuvo Drops to finish my card. 

Copic Colors Used:

Skin: E50, E51, E21, E04, R20, R00

Hair: E31, E33, E35, E37

Heart: R81, R83, RV00, RV000

Skirt: V01, V12, V15

Shoes: C2, C3, C6

The challenges I would like to play along with are...

**The Greeting Farm Facebook Challenge** 

A card with at least 1 hearts and a image from TGF

**The Card Concept: #214 Valentine Fun**

(I was inspired by the theme and the colors)

**The Paper Shelter: #625 Add A Heart**

&

**Try A Sketch On Tuesday: #663**

You've Been Struck....

Hi everyone and happy Wednesday!

It's my day to post over on the Jaded Blossom Blog 

and I created a fun little Valentine treat bag to share with you today.

I used some red cardstock and the Gable Box Die to create my box. I decided I wanted to add a bit more to the box itself so I cut some strips of patterned paper and adhered them around the box, making sure to bend the patterned paper as I adhered it. I assembled my box and set it aside while I worked on my image. I stamped the Cupid Gotcha stamp onto a piece of white cardstock and colored it in with my Copic markers. I wanted to add a little depth so I stamped the image again, fussy cut out three of the hearts and popped them up over the original image with some foam tape. I created a little double bow using the Bow Dies, added a heart to the center using the Embellishment Clusters Die and my little bag was done!

 

So cute!!

Skin Tone: E50, E51, E21, R00

Jaded Blossom's Feb Challenge

 Hi everyone & happy February!!

Today starts a new challenge over at the Jaded Blossom blog!!

This month is.....Use A Stencil!

 We would love to see your projects that use some of those awesome Jaded Blossom stamps/dies!

Challenge Guidelines: 

1) Project must be new for this challenge, no back linking

2) Project must have a Jaded Blossom stamp, die, or stencil somewhere on it. 

3) Only one entry per person

Here is a look at the card that I created for the challenge:  

Here's how I made my card...

I used the Random Hearts Stencil and some Fired Brick Distress Ink to ink up some hearts onto a piece of Kraft Cardstock. Once the ink was dry, I doodled around the perimeter and trimmed it down to fit on top of an A2 Kraft cardbase. I also added some white doodles with a gel pen to a few of the hearts. I used the Mushroom In My Heart stamp set and stamped my image onto a piece of white cardstock using some Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I did some simple coloring with my Copic markers and then used the Rectangle Dies 2 to cut out my image. I used the Border Dies to create a little "ribbon" strip and added a bow on top using the Bow Dies. I added a bit more doodling to my white image panel to complete my card. So cute!!

This card was so super easy thanks to the stencil!

It took the need to pick out patterned paper, which seems to take me forever, out of the equation! lol!

Copic Colors Used:

Reds: R24, R27, R29, R39

Earth Tones: E40, E41, E42, E43

Love Is In The Air....

Hi everyone and happy Wednesday!

It's my day to post over on the Jaded Blossom Blog 

and I created a fun Galentine's Day card to share with you today. 

Here is how I made my card...

I covered a white A2 cardbase with some pretty floral patterned paper and doodled around the perimeter with a dark brown Micron Pen. I created my coffee cup by using the Coffee Slider Die along with the Coffee Slider Add On Die for the Scalloped Sleeve. I stamped my sentiment using some Kraft colored ink and the Kiss Me A Latte stamp set onto my sleeve, centering it the best that I could. I die cut some hearts from the Heart Dies 2, Banner Dies, Embellishment Clusters Die and the Build A Booth: Valentine Add Ons and placed them onto my cup. I used the Bow Dies for a couple of small white bows to add to the bigger hearts and finished my card with a fun pair of lips from the Build A Booth: Valentine Add Ons. 

I just love how this turned out!
