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--

Hello My Friend

Hi everyone and happy Thursday!

I hope you are doing well and have some fun plans for the upcoming weekend!

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

 Digi Doodle Studios named Ivy Rose.

For my card, I covered the front of a white A2 card with some floral paper and rounded the opposing corners. I used a Stitched Dome Frame die to cut out my white frame, as well as the blue gingham background, and added them to the front of the card. I printed out the Ivy Rose image using some white Hammermill cardstock, cut her out using my Cricut and colored her in with my Copic markers (colors listed below). I added some white polka dots to her bow with a white paint pen & popped her up onto my card with foam tape. I die cut the "hello" from pink cardstock, adhered it with more foam tape and added a sub-sentiment underneath.

I think she is so sweet!

Happy Birthday Monkey!!

Hello everyone!!

I hope you are all doing well!

It's been awhile since I have blogged, and I've missed it!!

  I have been recovering from surgery on my right arm and am finally able to slowly get back into crafting. 

Today I wanted to stop in and share a cute little mini slimline card that I made for my Grandson's 2nd birthday!! I don't know how he is already 2 but it has been an amazing 2 years with him in our lives!

He brings so much joy...yup my Mimi heart is full!

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

This stamp set from Pink and Main was perfect for my card!

Here is how I made it...

I started by creating a mini slimline from white cardstock and covering it with some striped patterned paper. I die cut a scallop rectangle using a die from Spellbinders, once in white and again in green patterned paper. I trimmed down the green to act as my ground and adhered it to the bottom, set it aside and went to work on my critters. I stamped my images, colored them with my Copic markers and cut them out using the coordinating dies. I added them to my scallop rectangle to create my scene and stamped the sentiment in the top left corner. I popped my scene up with foam tape onto my cardbase and added a few details with a white paint pen to complete my card.

I think this turned out so cute!!

Perfect for Mimi's Monkey, yup he is a climber lol!

Hello Spring

 Hi everyone!

I hope you are all having a wonderful Sunday!

I am getting ready to have surgery this week and won't be able to craft much so I was happy to find a little time in between all the errands to create a card for a few challenges.

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

To create my card, I first started by stamping out my little girl from the Anya Reboot 2 stamp set from The Greeting Farm with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored her in with my Copic Sketch markers and then used my Scan N Cut to cut her out. I set her aside and worked on my card base next. I covered the front of a white A2 top folding card with some green patterned paper and trimmed down a piece of white cardstock to layer on top. I stamped my sentiment in the right bottom corner and wrapped some yellow thread around the left edge before popping it up with foam tape over my green striped card front. I added that adorable little Anya with some more foam tape and added some enamel dots to the top right corner. I finished my card by rounding two opposite corners.

Isn't she lovely with her little Spring dress and fresh picked Tulips?

I love how clean and simple this is!

Hi everyone and happy Saturday!

It's the weekend! Yay!!

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

 Gerda Steiner Designs called Wash Day.

To create my card, I stamped out the images onto a piece of white Hammermill cardstock and colored them with my Copic Sketch Markers. Once I had them colored, I fussy cut them out and set them aside while I worked on my card foundation. I started by creating a 4.25" square shaped card using white cardstock, this size fits into an A2 envelope for easy mailing. I used a square die to cut out a piece of pink patterned paper and popped it up onto my card base with foam tape. Once I had my card front created, I started building my scene using the pieces that I had colored, popping up the kitty image with more foam tape. I stamped the sentiment, also from the Wash Day stamp set, used a die to cut it out and adhered it to my card. I finished my card with a few puffy hearts and some doodles with a white paint pen. 

That kitty sure does look comfy doesn't he? haha!

Hoppy Easter!

Hi everyone and happy happy Thursday!!

Today I am stopping in to share a sweet card using a new image from

 Digi Doodle Studios called Sweetie Spring Bunny.

Isn't that little bunny just as happy as can be with his big ol' carrot??

I created my card by creating a white top folding A2 cardbase and layering a piece of green checked patterned paper on top and strip of carrot themed patterned paper down the middle.

I printed out the Sweetie Spring Bunny image onto a piece of white Hammermill paper, colored it with my Copic markers and fussy cut it out. I created a little scene by using a square scallop die and a grass die, layering them onto a piece of light blue paper and popping it up onto my card front with foam tape. I created my scene and then added my bunny, tucking him behind the grass a bit, so that his floppy ear and the end of the carrot would overhang the frame for a little added visual interest. I stamped a sentiment onto a piece of white cardstock and used a banner die to cut it out, popping it up with more foam tape. 

I added a few white doodles to finish my card.

Copic Markers Used:

**Bunny: C00, C0, C2, C3, R000, R00**

 Hi everyone and happy happy Monday!!

I hope your weekend was fabulous!

Today I am stopping in to share a sweet card using a new image from

 Digi Doodle Studios called Scottie Scooter Bunny.

 

I die cut a scallop rectangle, layering a piece of patterned paper on top. I colored that adorable little bunny with my Copic markers and used my Scan N Cut 2 to cut it out. I popped my image up with foam tape onto an oval and then layered my oval piece onto a white scallop oval. I added my oval piece to my patterned paper, printed out the sentiment and placed it onto my oval, overlapping it just a little. I added a strip of patterned paper below the sentiment and added some pink thread underneath the bunny before popping up my scallop panel onto a white A2 top folding card.

I love this image! 

I feel like the Easter Bunny getting around on a scooter would be the perfect way to get around and not get so tired. Don't you think? haha!

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.

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:

A bright hello!

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!

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!
