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.

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.
