A bit of happy mail!

 Hi everyone!

I hope you are all doing well and having a wonderful day so far!

Today I wanted to pop in and share a sweet little card that I created using one of the new images from the new Valentine 2026 Release from Digi Doodle Studios.

This sweet little girl is called LuLu's Love Letters and I think she is just so precious!! 

I couldn't wait to work with her as soon as I got a peek of the image.

Here is how I created my card....

I started by creating a white A2 top folding card and covering it with some floral patterned paper. I printed out LuLu's Love Letters onto a piece of white hammermill cardstock and colored her with my Copic markers. After she was colored in, I used a Postage Die to cut her out, leaving enough space at the bottom so that I could add a piece of patterned paper, also cut with the same die, towards the bottom. I stamped my sentiment and then wrapped some white hemp cording around before popping my postage piece up with foam tape onto a piece of Vellum. I then popped up the Vellum piece with more foam tape onto my card front. I added a little bow, some hearts and Nuvo drops to complete the card. 

LuLu's Love Letters doesn't have to only be used for a Valentine card. 

I decided on a more generic type of sentiment so that my card could be used to send to someone anytime of the year to lift their spirits. I love that!

Copic Colors Used:

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

--Hair: E41, E43, E44--

--Clothes/Shoes: BG70, BG72, BG75, W5, N0--

 (Brown Micron Pen for the dots on the jacket)

--Mailbox/Letters: W0, W1, W3, RV32, RV34--

I would like to play along in the following challenges:

--Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Have A Heart--

Hi everyone and happy Tuesday!

I hope you are all doing well and staying warm!

 I know here on the East Coast it is quite cold (boo!), that means staying in and getting in some extra crafty time in (yay!)

I wanted to share a card that I was able to create with a few challenges in mind.

(I will list the challenges below)

Valentine's Day is fast approaching so I wanted to make a fun little Valentine that I could send to my mom.

I have had this sweet little Bear Hugs stamp set from Pink and Main for awhile now and pulled it out and finally got it inky!! Once I had the bear colored in with my Copic markers, I used the coordinating die to cut it out and popped it up onto a die cut vellum heart. I set that aside and worked on my card base. I went with Kraft to coordinate with my bear and inked around the scallop edges of my die cut rectangle with some Tea Dye Distress Ink. I placed my patterned paper strips onto my scallop rectangle and then popped it up onto my card base with foam tape. I stamped my sentiment and then popped up my bear piece with more foam tape. I added a few puffy hearts and a tiny bit of glitter to the flower centers to complete my card. 

I think this is so cute!

Copic Colors Used:

**Bear: E41, E42, E43, E44, R00, R20, RV32, RV34**

  Hi everyone and happy happy Saturday!!

I hope your weekend is off to a fabulous start!

Today I am stopping in to share a sweet card using a new image from Digi Doodle Studios called

 Beau Valentine Bunny.

Isn't that little bunny the sweetest?

To create my card, I started by making a top folding A2 card base and adhering a piece of cloud patterned paper down the center. I used a scallop border die and cut out some striped patterned paper and added those to each side of my cloud paper. I printed out Beau Valentine Bunny onto a piece of Hammermill paper and colored him with my Copic markers. I fussy cut him out and popped him up onto my card with some foam tape. I printed out the sentiment, used a die to cut it out and popped it up with more foam tape. I completed my card by adding some yellow Nuvo drops to the flower centers and glossy accents to the overall buttons.

 

I think this is so cute!!

Definitely makes me smile :)

The Smallest One

Hi everyone and happy Wednesday!!

I hope your day is off to a wonderful start!

Today I am sharing a sweet card that I created with a few challenges in mind. 

I receive the Card Kit Club from Echo Park and have quite the collection of ephemera packs just waiting to be used. One of my goals this year is to actually use them instead of hoarding them lol!

 This Winnie The Pooh Baby kit from April 2025 was the perfect choice to make a welcome baby card for my second grandson who will be arriving in just a few short weeks! 💙

I used a white A2 cardbase and added a piece of light blue patterned paper on top that I trimmed down to 4" x 5.25" I die cut a eyelet rectangle from white cardstock and layered that on top. I cut some patterned paper strips, took them to my sewing machine and added a zig zag stitch with some white thread before adding them to my card front. Once that was done, I added my ephemera piece, popping it up with foam tape. I finished my card with a little blue patterned paper heart, a white puffy heart sticker and a white Nuvo drop. 

I think this came out so sweet and can't wait to meet the sweet little face that it was made for.

I would like to enter the following challenges:

--Sketch N Scrap: Card Sketch #293--

--The Crafter's Cafe: #325 Anything Goes: Optional Use The Color Yellow--

--The Neglected Stuff Challenge: Jan. 2026-- (I used ephemera)

&

Hi everyone and happy New Year!!!

I hope you are all well!

I'm so happy to say that my year is starting off wonderfully as I am a guest designer this month for

Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge Blog!! 

Yay!!

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

Isn't that little Polar Bear holding his hot cup of cocoa the cutest?

Here is how I created my card...

I covered my top folding A2 cardbase with some snowflake patterned paper and doodled around the perimeter with a black micron pen. I used a internal scallop frame die to die cut some red patterned paper & added a little snowy hill with my sentiment stamped onto it. I colored my little Polar Bear with my Copic markers, paper piecing his scarf, and used the coordinating die to cut him out. I placed him behind my hill and backed my frame with some vellum to mute the background around my bear just a bit. I added some snowflakes and dots to complete my card. 

Copic Colors Used:

Bear: W1, W3, W7, W9, RV00, RV000

Mug: E25, R29, C00, E40, BG11, BG13
