Under My Umbrella

 Hi crafty friends!!

I hope you are all having a wonderful day!

Today I have a cute and sweet card to share with you that I created using an image from 

Pink Gem Designs. 

Aren't these little Rainy Day Bunnies the sweetest?

I created my card by covering a white A2 card base with some springy patterned papers from Echo Park. I printed out my image onto a piece of white Hammermill paper and colored it in with my Copic markers. Once I had it colored in, I used a stitched rectangle die to cut it out. I stamped my sentiment along the bottom and then used a thin piece of the plaid paper to add a little separation between the image and sentiment. I added some crochet thread and then matted my image to a piece of green cardstock. I popped it up onto my cardbase with some foam tape and added some polka dots to the umbrella and her little bow. I completed my card by adding a little tab with an enamel heart to the top right.

Copic Colors Used:

--White Bunny: C00, C0, C4, RV10, RV000--

--Tan Bunny: E40, E42, RV10, RV000, RV52, R81, R83--

Happy Easter

 Hi crafty friends!

I hope you are all having a fabulous day so far!

Today I am popping in to share a card that I created using one of the new images released this month from All Dressed Up Stamps. 

This month, I was given the image called Egg Painting. 

I love all the images that were released this month but this one stole my heart. 

Isn't she just the cutest?

To create my card, I started with a white A2 cardbase. I added some plaid paper to the bottom before rounding the bottom two corners. Next, I added some pink patterned paper along with a white scallop to help separate the layers. I printed my image onto a piece of white cardstock and colored her in with my Copic markers. Once I had my image colored, I used a stitched rectangle die to cut her out and then stamped my sentiment before adhering her to my card front. I added some sequins, nuvo drops and a sheer ribbon bow to complete my card. I think this turned out so sweet!

A Trio Of Floral Jars

Hi crafty friends!

I hope your day is off to a wonderful start! 

 Today I'm popping in to share a card that I made for the new challenge that started over at the
 All Dressed Up Challenge Blog. 
They are always anything goes as long as you use a All Dressed Up image.

I thought this little trio of Jam Jars was so pretty, so I picked this image to work with this month.

I tend to make more "cutesy" cards so this image was perfect to make a birthday card with more of an adult feel. I started by coloring my image with my Copic markers and setting it aside while I worked on my card design. I covered a white A2 cardbase with some dark brown patterned paper at the top, some light blue cardstock at the bottom, and a floral strip to separate the layers. I rounded the bottom left corner & popped up my image with foam tape before adding a fun patterned paper frame on top. I stamped my sentiment and tied it to the frame before completely adhering it down. I completed my card with some glossy accent centers in the florals as well as some wink of stella shimmer for the jars but the camera didn't pick those up very well. 

Copic Colors Used:

--Jars: B00, B000, B0000, Coo, C1--

Sending Sunshine

Hi crafty friends!

I hope your day is off to a wonderful start!

Today starts a new sketch challenge over on the

Try Stampin' On Tuesday Challenge Blog! 

Here is a look at the sketch:

Optional theme: Weather

Here is a look at the card that I created based on the sketch:

Ok, this card was so so so easy!!

I originally was going to go a different direction by using a stamped image, however while flipping through some of my paper packs trying to find some papers, I came across this one from Simple Stories that I have had for quite a long while. The great thing about this paper pad was that, on top of wonderful patterned papers, it had some really fun cut apart cards for pocket scrapbooking. So my original idea was ditched and a new one was born lol! I simply used the cut apart card to create my focal point and paired it with some patterned papers that coordinated. I added some little enamel hearts, crochet thread and some foam tape and my card was done!

It was so incredibly simple that while I had everything out, I decided to make a second card as well.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today and taking a look at my latest creation!

I really appreciate it!

I hope you will stop by the Try Stampin' On Tuesday blog and take a look at the projects my teamies made and hopefully play along with us! I would love to see what you create!

Here is a look at the card I created:

 

I am having so much fun playing with these cute little bees from Paper Pixel Prints!

For this card, I simply printed out the honeycomb image and colored it with my Copic markers. I fussy cut it out and then decided to print it out one more time so that I could add dimension by popping up the second set of bees with some foam tape directly over the flat bees. I adhered my image to the front of my card and added my sentiment before  doodling around the perimeter. I added a bit of patterned paper and a bow to the left side to complete my card. So simple yet so cute!

Happy Easter

Hi crafty friends!!

I hope you are all having a wonderful day!

Today I have a cute Easter themed candy box to share with you that I created using an image from 

Pink Gem Designs. 

With Easter right around the corner, I wanted to get a little jump start on making some little candy boxes and this little bunny from the Spring Bunnies set was perfect for this box! 

(There are 5 bunnies to choose from in this set!)

To create my project, I started by using the Milk Carton Die from Jaded Blossom and cutting it out in white, as well as the plaid layering pieces. I assembled my box and got to work on my bunny. I printed out my bunny onto some white Hammermill cardstock and colored her with my Copic markers. I used my Scan N Cut to cut her out and then popped her up onto a white die cut circle. I popped the circle up onto my box with more foam tape. I added my sentiment to the top of the box, filled it with some candy and used some mint green tulle to tie it shut. I added a little pink bow onto my bunny to complete my box. So so so cute!!!

Copic Colors Used:

--Bunny: E40, E41, E42, E44, R20, R00, R000--

Isn't that little bee darling?

I created a little scene with the flowers on the bottom and the bee on the tall flower from the Busy Bees Digital stamp set in Microsoft Word. Once I had everything positioned the way I wanted it, I printed it out onto some white cardstock and colored it in with my Copic markers. I created an A2 white card base and popped up a white scallop layer with foam tape onto the front. I stamped my sentiment & trimmed down the Bee scene to fit inside the scallop panel and added that to my card. I finished my card with some doodles around the perimeter, some polka dots on her bow and a little gem on the tall flower.

Today I have a super adorable birthday card to share with you that I created using an image from 

Pink Gem Designs.

How cute is that little Sailor bear and his first mate??

To create my card, I sized my image in Microsoft Word and placed the sentiment underneath based on the circle die that I was going to use. Once I had it printed on cardstock, I colored it with my Copic markers and die cut it out. I matted it onto a dark blue circle and popped it up onto my card front with foam tape. I added some little enamel dots to the corners to complete my card.

 Hi crafty friends!

I hope you are all having a fabulous day so far!

Today I am popping in to share a card that I created using one of the new images released this month from All Dressed Up Stamps. 

I was given the image Looking Good to use for my project.

Isn't she so sweet? I had so much fun coloring her with my Copics. Once I had her colored in, I used a stitched die to cut her out and added a doodle border along the perimeter. I covered a white cardbase with some fun floral patterned paper and then added her to the center of my card front. I added a strip of polka dotted patterned paper on one side, along with a greeting and fun bow, to complete my card.

Lucky To Know You

 Hi crafty friends!

I hope you are having a wonderful day so far!

Today starts a new challenge over at the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge blog.

Challenge #563 is a color challenge! Use Sky blue, Pink & Red on your project!

Here is a look at what I created:

I always seem to struggle with Color Challenges. They rank right up there with Masculine cards when it comes to me lol! I'm not sure why. Maybe it's just me. Anyone else struggle with color challenges?

I decided to keep my card super simple. I pulled two different blues and two different pinks that I felt went with the above colors and a piece of red. I cut all my papers into thin strips, I keep them all at 1/4" except for the red, which I made a tad thinner. Once I had my strips cut, I added some adhesive to a piece of white cardstock and added my strips at an angle, repeating the pattern. I trimmed off the overhang, rounded the corners and added it to a light blue cardbase. Next, I took a word die and cut my greeting out of a piece of white cardstock & adhered a piece of red cardstock to the back. I popped it up onto my card front with foam tape. I added some little hearts and a flower, punched out using the scraps, along with some white Nuvo drops to to complete my card. I really like how it turned out!

Hey Gull Friend!

Hi crafty friends and happy happy Friday!!

Any fun plans for the weekend? I think we are venturing out and doing a little shopping. 

Yay! Always a fun time, even if it is just mainly window shopping :) 

I wanted to pop in and share a card that I made for the February 2023 Heffy Doodlers Challenge. 

The challenge is Sending Love. So many possibilities with that one! 

I decided to create a card to send to a friend for no reason other than to let them know they are being thought about and to say Hello. 

I had a lot of fun with this one. I started by creating a little scene with some stencils and distress oxide inks. Once I had that done, I trimmed it down and matted it onto a piece of Pool Party cardstock. I stamped my sentiment in the "sandy" area and then popped up my panel onto a white A2 cardbase. I used the Build A Cabin Die to create my little cabana and placed it onto my card front. I finished my card by doing some simple coloring on one of the birds from the You Go, Gull stamp set, fussy cutting it out and popping it up with more foam tape. So super simple but I absolutely love how it turned out!

Copic Colors Used:

--W), W1, YR20, YR12, R000, R00--

Love Spring Time

Hi crafty friends!

I hope your day is going splendidly so far! 

 Today I'm popping in to share a card that I made for the new challenge that started over at the
 All Dressed Up Challenge Blog. 
They are always anything goes as long as you use a All Dressed Up image.

I am so ready for Spring so a Springtime themed card was just what I needed to make lol!

I printed out the Love Spring Time image and colored it in with my Copic markers. Once I had it colored, I used a Stitched Frame die to cut it out. I trimmed off a portion of the bottom and adhered it to some patterned paper. I die cut a scallop border & placed that below my image. I wrapped some thread around & tied a bow before popping my panel up with foam tape onto my card base. I printed out the image again so that I could fussy cut out one of the butterflies and pop it up with some foam tape for a little extra dimension. I completed my card with some white polka dots on her bow.

For my card, I was given the image Beatrix Love Witch to work with.

 I started my card by creating an A2 top folding card base from some white cardstock and layering some script patterned paper on top. I die cut some rose patterned paper at an angle and added that, along with a white stitched oval, to my card front. I printed out the Beatrix Love Witch and colored her with my Copic markers and cut her out using my Scan N Cut.
