Merry & Magical!

 Hi friends!

I hope are having a fabulous day!
Today starts a new challenge over at the
  Addicted To Stamps & More Challenge Blog and it is...

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

I went a bit non-traditonal for my card and created one that was more on the pastel side. I recently purchased this stamp set from Clearly Besotted during Stamptember and since unicorns just scream pastel colors to me for some reason, I just went with it lol! I colored the scene with my Copic markers and used a circle die to cut it out. I fussy cut the unicorn and gift and popped them up onto the scene with some foam tape. I die cut a zig zag circle from some white cardstock and glued my scene on top of it. I created my card base from some lavender cardstock and added a strip of polka dotted paper.  I stamped my greeting onto some white cardstock and backed it with some silver glitter cardstock, added some purple thread and added it on top of my polka dot panel. I popped up my little scene with foam tape, added some glitter to the mountain, some shimmer to the rainbow and glossy accents to the ornaments and my card was finished. My photo taking skills are not capturing how much shimmer is on this card. It is so sparkly in person!

Copic Colors Used:

**Unicorn: E000, E00, C00, C0, E42, E43, R20, BV000**

**Present/Mountain: BV000, BV01**

**Tree/Rainbow: YG11, G40, Y00, Y02, B000, B01, R12, YR12, R20, R85, R29**

**Clouds: BG0000, BG000*

 Hi crafty friends!

I hope you are all having a fabulous day!

Today I am sharing a Halloween card that I created using a cute new stamp set from

 Ink N Splatter titled, Ghostly Haunts.

I had so much fun making this card! I saw this sentiment on the stamp set and my wheels started turning as to how I could make it look like a little ghost was playing peek a boo. I decided to go with a mini slimline card. I created my card base from some white cardstock and covered it with some polka dotted patterned paper. Next I die cut a piece of black glitter cardstock and layered it on top. I cut a piece of orange patterned paper and die cut some circles out, trying my best to keep them spaced apart equally. I stamped some of the ghosts from the Ghostly Haunts stamp set, colored them with my Copic markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I placed them inside the circles and cut off any overhang with my scissors. I added some doodle lines around the perimeter of my card and popped it up onto my glitter panel with some foam tape. I colored that little spider, also from the Ghostly Haunts stamp set, die cut it out and popped it up with more foam tape. I stamped my greeting onto a piece of white cardstock and backed it with more polka dotted paper before popping it up onto my card with foam tape. I completed my card with a few black confetti stars and a few glittery Nuvo drops. So fun and cute!!

Copic Colors Used:

**Ghosts: B0000, B000, R000**

**Spider: N3, N5**

 Hi everyone!

I hope you are having a wonderful day so far!

It has been so warm in my area but the weather is starting to turn a bit cooler and it is finally starting to feel a bit like Fall. Yay!! Has it been unseasonably warm in your area as well?

I wanted to pop in real quick and share another Halloween card that I made using some fun little ghosts.

Here is a look at my card:

I love these little ghosts from Gerda Steiner and thought it would be cute to try and create a little scene where one ghost is "dressed up" for Halloween and pranking his little friend. My card was really pretty simple and since they are ghosts, involved very little coloring  so it was a bit on the faster side of things from start to finish. I started out by layering my cardbase with some fun patterned papers from Doodlebug. I stamped my ghosts onto a square piece of white cardstock, colored them with my Copic markers and popped it onto my card front with foam tape.  I added a bit of shimmer by diecutting a purple glitter frame and adhering it on top of my white square. I stamped my greeting and used a word bubble die to cut it out, popping it up with more foam tape. I completed my card by adding a fun little orange bow, some confetti stars and purple Nuvo drops. How fun! These little ghosts just make me smile lol!

Halloween Wishes Treat Box

 Hi crafty friends!

I hope you have been able to enjoy your weekend so far. 

I was able to get a tiny bit of crafting done and decided to make a treat box.

I love making treat boxes, they satisfy my need to craft and don't seem to take a long time to create. Perfect for when I am short on time :) 

Here is a look at my box:

This was so incredibly easy! I used the Octagon Treat Box from Jaded Blossom and cut it out with some Fake Tan cardstock from Lawn Fawn. I used the inlay diecutting technique for the eyes, nose and mouth using some black glitter cardstock. I cut the hat out from some patterned paper from Doodlebug using a die from Spellbinders and attached it to my pumpkin with a small line of liquid glue. I completed my box with some black doodles & a tiny pink square patch on the hat and my sentiment on the bottom.

I would like to play along with the following challenges:

**Jaded Blossom's October Challenge: Fall**

Hocus Pocus

Hi crafty friends!

I hope you are having a fabulous day!

I'm so excited today to be a guest designer for Digi Doodle Studios!

Digi Doodle Studios is a digi stamp company that has some of the cutest images!! They even have a monthly challenge blog that you can find HERE.  There is so much versatility with how big or small you want your image to be with digital stamps, not to mention the storage space saved in my shrinking craft room lol!

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

I really wanted the focus of my card to be on that adorable image, called Priscilla Caster, so I kept my card pretty simple! I printed her out onto a piece of Hammermill cardstock and colored her in with my Copic markers. Once I had her colored, I used a stitched rectangle die to cut her out and inked around the perimeter with some Wilted Violet and Black Soot Distress inks. I added her to a piece of black cardstock and popped it up onto my card base with foam tape. I added some black doodle lines around my card with a black Micron pen and popped up my sentiment with more foam tape. I completed my card by adding a few die cut stars,  yellow Nuvo drops and some white gel pen accents.

Hello Fall

 Hi friends!

I hope are having a fabulous day!
Today starts a new challenge over at the
  Addicted To Stamps & More Challenge Blog and it is...

Make Your Mark simply means we want to see your coloring. You can use pens, pencils, markers, chalks, inks, etc. Easy right?

 Here is a look at what I created:

I am in Fall mode (it is my favorite season after all lol) so I decided to make another Fall themed card. This card was actually quite simple. I started by stamping that adorable little image from Stamping Bella onto a piece of white hammermill cardstock and coloring her with my Copic Markers. I inked around the perimeter of my image panel with some Vintage Photo Distress Ink before stamping "Fall"  above her with brown ink and adding some brown twine below her, tying it off in a bow. I popped up my image panel with some foam tape onto my card base that I covered with some patterned paper. I stamped "Hello" onto a piece of patterned paper, placed it above the "Fall" and tucked a few little die cut leaves under the bow to complete my card. Told ya it was simple :)

Delightfully Wicked

 Hi crafty friends!

I hope you are all having a fabulous day!

Today I am sharing a Halloween card that I created using a cute new stamp set from

 Ink N Splatter titled, Sabrina's Moon.

I kept this card pretty simple so that I could keep the focus on that sweet little witch!

I started by creating a white A2 card and lightly inking around the perimeter with some Black Soot Distress Ink. Next I created a panel by cutting some dark gold glitter paper and layering a piece of patterned paper from the Spooky Nights Paper Pad on top and then adhered it to the center of my card base. I stamped Sabrina's Moon with some Memento Tuxedo Black onto a piece of white Hammermill paper and colored her with my Copic markers. I cut her out with my Scan N Cut and popped her up onto my card front with some foam tape. I created some clouds by using some cloud dies from My Creative Time and inked around them with some more Black Soot Distress Ink. I added my sentiment onto the larger cloud and then placed all three of them on my card with some more foam tape. So super simple but I absolutely love it!!

Copic Colors Used:

Trick Or Treat Treat Box

Hi friends!

I hope you are having a wonderful day!

It's the first of the month and that means it is time for a new challenge at 

The Four Seasons Challenge blog!! Yay!!

Here is a look at the photo inspiration for this month: 

How cool is that picture? So much inspiration! However, if the picture doesn't strike your fancy, you can enter a FALL themed project. The picture is purely optional.

Here is a look at the project that I created for this month:

I love all things Halloween and I love making little gifts to give to my family throughout the season, and this little Witch Hat box from SVGCuts.com was the perfect choice to go along with the above inspirational photo. Win Win! Did I mention how easy this was?? So easy! I cut out my hat from some black cardstock and added a bit of ink along all the score lines before assembling. I cut the hat band from some bright polka dotted paper from Doodlebug and added a silver glitter buckle, inking along the band before adding it to my hat. I snipped the back off of a Trick Or Treat brad that I've had in my stash for a while and popped it up with some foam tape. I added a button and some enamel dots as well as an adorable little spider (also from doodlebug) to the front of the hat. I felt like it needed a bit more whimsy though so I used a bat paper punch and punched out 6 bats. I sandwiched some thin wire in-between to make three "flying" bats, wrapped them around a lollipop stick for some curl and threaded them through the tiny hole in the top of my hat. I secured them inside the hat with some glue dots.

Inside, I placed some bright green paper shred and some chocolate peanut butter bats.

 How fun!!
