Hang In There

 Hi everyone and happy Monday!

I have a super cute card to share with you today that I created using a new stamp from

 Gerda Steiner Designs called Brief Kitten Notes.

Isn't that little kitten the cutest??

To create my card, I started by creating a white A2 top folding card and layering a white scallop rectangle on top. I trimmed down some striped patterned paper to fit inside. I stamped that adorable little cat, fussy cut it out and colored the image with my Copic markers. I die cut a photo frame, stamped my sentiment and added a bit of crochet thread to act as my clothesline. I added my frame to my card front, tilting it a bit for some interest, and added my image with some foam tape. I finished my card by adding a little enamel heart.

Copic Colors Used:

--Kitten: C0, C1, C2, C4, R00, R20--

--Undies: R81, R83, R85--

--Clothespins: E43, E44--

Egg-celent Easter!

Hi everyone!

I hope your day is off to a fabulous start!

Today I am sharing a super cute, and simple, Easter themed card that I created.

This was so incredibly easy to make but I adore how it turned out!

I started by creating a top folding white card base and rounding the top two corners. I added a scallop rectangle towards the top of my card, layering some grass and a scallop border towards the bottom, leaving enough room to stamp my greeting. I used a Polka Dot Stencil and some Salvaged Patina Distress Ink to create some dots on a piece of white cardstock and then cut it out using a egg shaped die. I built my little chick using the following Jaded Blossom products: Gnome Dies: Chick Add Ons,  Gnome Dies: Easter Add Ons 2 (Tulip) & Owl Faces. I added my little chick to my card front and die cut some flowers to sit on the grass next to her. I finished my card with a few white Nuvo drops, some pearls for the flower centers & a little crochet thread bow in her hair.

Adorable!

I would love to play along with the following challenge:

Hi everyone!

Happy happy Monday!

I hope you had a fun and fabulous weekend!

I'm stopping in today to share a card that I created to play along in a few challenges,

 I will link them below.

Here is a look at my card....

As I previously mentioned, I think in a January post, one of my goals this year is to use some of my ephemera packs that I seem to collect and never use lol. I created this card using some patterned papers from Doodlebug and a couple of pieces from the coordinating Odds & Ends pack.

I started by creating an A2 cardbase using white cardstock and covering it with some floral patterned paper from the Butterfly Kisses paper pack & doodling around the perimeter with a black micron pen. Next, I cut a piece of pink patterned paper down, doodled around the perimeter and used a distressing tool to rough it up just a bit for a little visual interest. I adhered it to a piece of vellum and popped it up onto my card with some foam tape. I used a die to cut out my little tag, also with paper from the Butterfly Kisses paper pad, glued it to my card front and popped up that adorable tea cup and flower from the ephemera pack with more foam tape. I die cut out the "hello" three times, stacked them together to give a little depth and stability, and added that under my tag. I finished my card by adding some white Nuvo drops and a white hemp bow. 

This was so simple to make but I absolutely love how it turned out! 

Maybe it's the bright colors or the florals?

Reminds me of Spring/Summer and I am definitely ready for some warmer temps lol!

The challenges that I would like to play along in are...

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:

Happiest Valentine Wishes

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**

**Flowers: G21, RV11, RV32, RV34**
