Smile! It's Your Birthday

 
Hi everyone and happy happy Thursday!

It's almost the weekend! Yay!!

It is also the 4th Thursday of the month and that means it's time for a new challenge over at the

 Seize The Birthday Challenge Blog!!

The topping this go around is...

Of course, the topping is always completely optional.

"Anything Goes" Birthday is perfectly fine!

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

I've had these adorable little hedgehog stamps in my stash for quite a few years and I honestly don't think that I have ever used them until now. I was flipping through my stamps to get inspiration for the challenge and as soon as I saw them, I knew they would be perfect to pair up with some fall colors!

Here's how I made my card...

I created an A2 top folding cardbase and covered it with some floral patterned papers from a fall themed 6x6 paper pad. I die cut my yellow plaid banner, tied a bow around the top and adhered that to my card front. I did a little masking so that my hedgies could sit close together on the log, stamping them with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloring my image with Copic markers. Once I had it colored in, I fussy cut it out and added it to a piece of vellum that I cut out using a zig zag circle die. I used a die to cut a balloon, added some string and poked a little hole so that my little hedgehog could "hold" it. I added some white details to the cheeks and the balloon with a white paint pen & popped up my Vellum piece with foam tape onto the front of my card. I stamped my greeting onto a piece of Kraft cardstock using Versamark ink and heat embossed it with white embossing powder, placing it underneath my little critters.

I think this came out so incredibly cute!!

Copic Colors Used:

--Hedgehogs: E47, E43, E41, E57--

--Log: E31, E33, E35, E23, E47, G94--

Trick Or Treat!

Hi everyone and happy Monday!

Today I am stopping by to share a project that I created using one of the newly released images from 

Digi Doodle Studios.

I used the super cute ghost, Ghostly Dilly Friendly Halloween Ghost for my project.

I thought she was so super cute holding her little trick or treat bucket, that it inspired me to create a little  candy bucket for my project.

To create my bucket, I used the Octagon Treat Box die from Jaded Blossom and cut it out in some orange cardstock. I embossed the top layering piece with a polka dot embossing folder for a little dimension. I printed out my Ghostly Dilly Friendly Halloween Ghost onto a piece of white Hammermill cardstock and did a little Copic coloring. I cut her out using my Scan N Cut and popped her up onto my bag using some foam adhesive. I stamped my sentiment onto a piece of black patterned paper with Versafine Ink and heat embossed it using white embossing powder. I cut the sentiment apart and layered them next to my little ghostly friend. I finished my little bag by adding some black confetti stars and filling it with some yummy little candies. 

 

So cute!!

I might make a few more of these! I think they are the perfect size to hand out this Spooky season to neighbors, Mail Carriers, Hair Dressers, etc. 

Copic Colors Used:

Ghost: B0000. B000, C3

Hat: V12, V15, V16, C3, C5, C7

Pumpkin Bucket: YR12, YR14, YR15, YR18, V12, YG05, E55, E57

 Hi everyone!

I hope you are all doing well!

Today I wanted to pop in and share a super fun and easy card that I made with a new stamp set that was recently released from Gerda Steiner Designs called The Boo Crew.

How cute are these ghosts?

Here is how I made my card...

I started by creating a top folding A2 cardbase using some bright pink cardstock. 

I die cut a piece of patterned paper using a Scallop Rectangle Die and popped that up onto my cardbase with foam tape. I stamped my ghosts using Versafine Ink onto a piece of white hammermill cardstock, heat embossed them with clear embossing powder and did some simple Copic coloring. Once I had it colored the way I wanted, I used my Scan N Cut to cut it out and added it to my card front. I heat embossed my greeting, also in the Boo Crew stamp set, onto a piece of pink patterned paper using some white embossing powder and added it right underneath my Boo Crew. I finished my card with some silver confetti stars, a little pink bow for one of my ghosts, glossy accents in the glasses and some white doodles. 

This image is so fun! I love all the cute little ghosts and their facial expressions!

Copic Colors:

--Gray: C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, C8--

--Orange: YR12, YR14, YR16, YR18--

 Hi everyone and happy Monday!

Today I am popping in to share a card that I created using one of the new images released from

 Digi Doodle Studios.

For my card, I used the super adorable image called Mimi Sue Lovable Witch.

To create my card, I started by covering a white top folding cardbase with some polka dotted patterned paper from Doodlebug Designs. I added a strip of black glitter cardstock down the middle and glued a piece of green patterned paper on top. I printed my Mimi Sue Lovable Witch image onto a piece of white Hammermill cardstock, colored her in with my Copic markers and used my Scan N cut to cut her out. I popped her up onto a big die cut circle with foam tape and then adhered the circle to the front of my card. I placed my sentiment below her and added some glittery bats to complete my card.

I herd it's your birthday!

Hi everyone!!

Happy Thursday!!

I'm super excited today cause for the next 3 months, I am the Surprise Party Guest over on the 

Seize The Birthday Challenge Blog!!

Yay!!

I love, love, love this challenge blog and am absolutely thrilled to be a Surprise Party Guest!!

Today starts a new challenge and the topping is...

Easy enough right? Of course, the topping is always completely optional.

"Anything Goes" Birthday is perfectly fine!

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

I had so much fun making this card and it was really pretty simple.

I started by using a Watercolor Wash Stencil and some Distress Inks to create a wonky backdrop for my scene. Once my Distress Inks were dry, I used a stitched rectangle die to cut it out & glued it to a Kraft A2 top folding card. I stamped my images from Pink & Main using some Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them with my Copic markers. Once they were colored, I used the coordinating dies to cut them out and arranged them onto my card to create a little scene. I popped up the cow and one of the clouds with some foam tape to add a little dimension. I stamped my sentiment onto a piece of Kraft cardstock and used a sentiment strip from an older set by MFT to cut it out. I placed my sentiment onto my card, also popping it up with foam tape.

I think this is so cute!

Copic Colors Used:

--Cow: E39, E37, E35, E33, E31, E50, E41, R000--

--Chick: Y13, Y11, Y00, R000--

Bats About You!!

Hi everyone!!

Happy happy Monday!!

Did you see the news??

  Digi Doodle Studios has a new release!!

So many adorable images, and the best part...they are instantly delivered to your inbox!! 

Here is a look at a card that I created using one of the new adorable images called, Sleeping Bat.

Look at his adorable little face and smile! I wonder what he is dreaming about?? lol!

Here is how I created my card...

I created a white A2 top folding card base and added two pieces of patterned paper on top that I cut out using a Wonky Stitched Rectangle die. I used a small border die to cut out a piece of black cardstock to add a little separation between the two layers. I printed out my Sleeping Bat image and colored it with Copic markers (I will list the markers used below). Once I had the image colored, I used my Scan N Cut to cut it out. I die cut a Photo Frame, added my bat and then backed the piece with some patterned paper that resembled a night sky. I added my sentiment & a little bow before popping up my image panel with foam tape. I finished my card by adhering some black confetti stars. 

So adorable!!

Copic Colors Used:

--Bat: C0, C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, R20, R00, R000--
