Water You Up To?

Hi everyone and happy happy Wednesday!!!

I hope your weather is nice, the weather is my area is a scorcher today!

I was able to go for my morning walk before it got too hot though so I am thankful for that.

Today I wanted to share a card that I created for Mer-May!

May is almost over but better late than never ;)

I love this little cheeky mermaid from The Greeting Farm! I have had her in my stash for quite awhile, I think I purchased the stamp set when it came out in 2022? I don't remember exactly, I just know that I am so happy that I finally pulled her out and used it!

I stamped my images onto a piece of white Hammermill cardstock and colored them with my Copic markers. Once I had them colored in, I cut them out using my Scan N Cut and set them aside while I worked on my card front. I created an A2 top folding cardbase from white cardstock and doodled around the perimeter with a black micron pen. I stamped my sentiment onto a piece of patterned paper and used a wave die to cut it out. I cut out another wave and adhered them both to my card, making sure to stagger them just a bit. Since the card is more on the simple side, I really wanted to add as much dimension as I could so I placed my images onto the front with foam tape. 

 

I decided to stamp the image again onto a piece of light orange patterned paper so that I could fussy cut the starfish in her hair and pop it up for even more dimension. I used really thin foam tape so while there is dimension, it isn't super bulky.

Copic Colors Used:

Gnome Matter What...

 Hi everyone and happy Monday!

I hope you had a fun weekend and were able to get in some crafting time!

Today I am stopping by to share a card that I created using a new digital stamp from

 Digi Doodle Studios named Gnorman's Flower Wagon.

Isn't that little gnome the sweetest??

My card was pretty simple to make. I started by creating a white A2 top folding card base and adding a piece of patterned paper that I trimmed down to 4"x5.25" on top. I used some nesting dies to die cut two additional layers from coordinating patterned paper and layered them onto my card as well. I printed out my sentiment, also included in the Gnorman's Flower Wagon, onto a piece of white cardstock. I trimmed down my sentiment and added two scallop pieces behind it, one in yellow and one in vellum, and added it to my card. I printed out Gnorman and colored him with my Copic markers. Once I had him colored, I cut him out using my Cricut and popped him up onto my card with some foam tape. I finished my card by adding a white bow that I made using some hemp cording. 

Cute cute cute!!!

So lucky...

 Hi everyone!

I hope you are all doing well!

I was able to play for a little bit in my craft room

 and create a super cute card (at least I think so hehe).

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

When I was picking out pattern papers for my project, I pulled them out of the stack and just laid them onto my desk. I loved the way they looked being at different angles so I went with that!

I adhered them to my white card base and trimmed off the overhang and then doodled around the perimeters of the card and pattern papers. I used some stamps & dies from Jaded Blossom and created that super sweet little lady bug. I needed something to help keep her the focal point so I die cut a white circle, popped that up with foam tape and then added my lady bug, also with foam tape to my card front. I stamped my sentiment, used the coordinating dies to cut it out and placed it under my image with foam tape. I added a flower, some little hearts and a tiny little bow to her antenna to complete my card.

Birthday Tag into a Card

Hi everyone!

I hope you are doing well!

Today I wanted to pop in with a fun card that I made for my daughter's birthday.

I made half of this card back in 2019 lol!

Let me explain...I created a tag in 2019 with every intention of using it as a tag. 

Recently while going through my card stash, I came across it just sitting in my card drawer patiently waiting to be used lol! I needed a card to give to my daughter and I still loved the tag so I thought I would take the tag, make a couple of modifications and turn it into a card. 

Here is a picture/link of the tag before:

https://staceyscreativecorner.blogspot.com/2019/01/jaded-blossoms-january-challenge.html

To create my card, I snipped off the RicRak/twine and created a little white bow, adhering that over the hole. I created a card base and used a scallop rectangle die to cut out my pink patterned paper. Luckily I still have the patterned paper pad so it was super easy to match up a background paper. Once I had that adhered to my card base, I trimmed down a piece of vellum and attached my tag. I hid some foam tape behind the tag and added the vellum piece to my card front. I added a few white Nuvo Drops and some white enamel hearts to complete the card.

I think this ended up being so cute and was so happy that I was able to take a tag, that I loved, and turn it into a card that I ended up loving even more! Win Win!

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Don't Froget...

Hi everyone and happy happy Friday!!!

It's almost the weekend...yay!!

It is supposed to be a rainy one on my area but that's ok, more time to stay indoors and craft right?

Today I wanted to share a super fun shaped card that I made.

 

As soon as I saw the new release from The Greeting Farm this month, I knew I needed the adorable frog stamp set in my life haha!

Here's how I made my card:

I started by creating my card base. I used an older die set, circa 2013, from Spellbinders that I haven't touched in years! I honestly stumbled across it while doing a little purging lol!

I scored and folded a piece of white cardstock, used the largest die to cut out my shaped card, leaving a small amount of the die hanging off of the top to keep my cardbase in one piece. I then used the dies to cut out 3 different patterned papers, popping up the top 2 layers with foam tape. I doodled around the perimeter of each layer for a little visual interest. I stamped out that adorable frog and colored him with my Copic markers and used my Scan N Cut to cut him out. I popped him up with more foam tape and added a few white puffy hearts.

This is a smaller card, measuring around 4.25" x 4.25" at the largest dome side so there wasn't a lot of room for the sentiment next to the image on the outside. That's ok, I just added it to the inside. 

I think this is so cute and it will probably end up as a little lunch box note to sneak into my hubby's lunch. I love doing that!!

Copic colors used:

--Frog: G40, YG61, YG63, YG67--

--Log: E23, E25, E27--

--Leaves: YG05, YG07, YG63--

--Flowers: Y11, Y13, Y15, Y18, YR09--

I would also like to play along with the following challenges:
