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:

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!
