Deck The Halls!

Hi everyone and happy happy Friday!

Yay for the weekend!!

Digi Doodle Studios released some new images today (2nd Yay of the day lol!!) and

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

  Luna Sugarplum

Isn't she so sweet??

I am very much a traditionalist when it comes to Christmas colors, I love love love the reds and greens of the season so right away I knew that's how I wanted to color up this cutie. Once I had her colored with Copic markers, I fussy cut her out and set her to the side while I worked on my card.

I covered a white cardbase with some red patterned paper and then die cut another piece of patterned paper using a scallop edged rectangle to layer on top. I wanted a bit of separation between the white patterned paper and my image, so I die cut an oval from some green patterned paper to help with that. I popped up my image using foam tape and added some white doodles. I cut out a sentiment strip, placed it onto a piece of patterned paper and popped it up with foam tape under my image. I finished my card by adding some chunky glitter to her wing and some Ruby Red Stickles to her holly berries. 

Copic Colors Used:

**Skin: E50, E51, E21**

**Hair: E41, E43, E44**

**Clothes/Hat: R27, R29, R59, YG63, YG67, C00, C0, C2**

Make A Wish!

Hi everyone and happy Thursday!

It's almost the weekend! Any fun plans?

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!! Yay!!

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...

For my geometric element, I went with stars and I was lucky to discover that one of my word dies, also included stars! It was a win win!!

I created my card by first creating a top folding A2 card and covering it with some birthday text patterned paper. I used a card edge die to trim down a piece of pink gingham paper, tied some ribbon around the top and popped it up onto my card base with foam tape. I die cut my sentiment from white cardstock three times so that I could give a little dimension by stacking them on top of each other. I used some scrap papers to die cut the sentiment again, only this time only focusing on the stars. I placed the stars onto my sentiment and adhered my sentiment piece to the front of my card. I added some white Nuvo drops and a bigger star to the center of my bow to finish my card. So adorable!!

A Halloween Hello!

Hi everyone and happy Monday!

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

Digi Doodle Studios last month.

For my last Halloween card of this season, I used some of the bats and one of the adorable houses that can be found in the Halloween Scene Builder Digi Bundle.

Isn't that little house so cute?!?!

Making my card was pretty simple. I used a scallop rectangle die to cut out a piece of plaid patterned paper and added it to the front of a white card base. I printed out my house onto a piece of white Hammermill cardstock and colored in the image with my Copic markers. Once it was colored, I fussy cut it out and added it to a black textured cardstock circle with foam tape. I printed out some of the bats, also included in the Halloween Scene Builder Digi Bundle, and used my Scan N cut to cut them out, placing them around my pumpkin house. I stamped my sentiment and used a sentiment strip die to cut it out, popping it up under my house with foam tape. I placed my cardstock circle onto my card and wrapped some black cording around to complete my card. Simple but I love it!!

Copic Colors Used:

--House: YR14, YR16, YR18--

--Roof/Door: E33, E35, E37, YR12--

--Windows: Y00, Y11, Y13, Y15--

Happy Boo-thday!!

Hi everyone!

I hope you are all doing well!

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

This was so fun to make and aren't those little ghosts too cute??

I started by creating a top folding A2 card and covering the front with some polka dot patterned paper. I added a strip of pink striped patterned paper, along with a strip of black, along one side. I stamped out my ghosts using some Memento Tuxedo Black ink, colored them with Copic markers and fussy cut them out. I die cut a tag, once from Vellum and once from some graph patterned paper, layered them together and positioned my ghosts onto the tag, popping the front ghosts up with foam tape. I stamped my sentiment onto a piece of black cardstock, heat embossed it using white embossing powder and placed it onto my tag.  I added some black cording, tying it off into a bow to finish my card.

Cute cute cute!!!

Copic Colors Used:

**B0000, B000, R00, RV00, R81, R83, RV55**

Berry Sweet Birthday Wishes

Hi everyone and happy Thursday!

It's time for a new challenge over at the

 Seize The Birthday Challenge Blog!! Yay!!

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...

As I was searching through my dies, trying to decide which set to use for my frames, I came across these cute little Eyelet style ones and thought they would be perfect to use on my card, especially paired with a fun little cross stitch piece. I love cross stitching and find some time everyday to stitch on something, we won't talk about how many works in progress I currently have lol! 

Here's how I made it....

I started by creating a top folding A2 cardbase from some white cardstock. I cut out two frames, one from pink patterned paper and the other in white, layered them on top of each other and adhered them to my card base. I used a cross stitched edge rectangle die, embossed it with a polka dot embossing folder and glued that to the top of my white frame. I went to the Lawn Fawn site, got the free pattern for the strawberry and using their dies, cross stitched the pattern onto some light pink cardstock. I popped up the berry piece to the front of my card using some foam tape and added a little bow that I created using some black cording. I didn't have the right sentiment in my stash so I created one in Word and printed it out onto a piece of light pink cardstock. I used a die to cut it out and popped it up with foam tape as well. 

I think this came out so adorable!!
