Get Fired Up!

Hi everyone and happy Thursday!

It's time for a new challenge over at the

 Seize The Birthday Challenge Blog!! Yay!!

Before I get to the topping for this challenge, I just want to give a big THANK YOU  to Nancy and the amazing team over at the Seize The Birthday Challenge Blog! It has been so much fun being your Surprise Party Guest for the last few challenges. Thank you for having me!!

Ok Ok, back to the challenge :)

The topping this go around is... 

Of course, the topping is always completely optional.

"Anything Goes" Birthday is perfectly fine!

 

Here is what I created for the challenge...

 

 I absolutely struggle with making Masculine cards, I'm not alone in this am I? 

My son is a Firefighter and has a birthday coming up so this challenge was actually the perfect time to get ahead of the game and create a card for him.

I started by covering an A2 white cardbase with some plaid patterned paper. I created that adorable little fireman using some dies from Jaded Blossom and added it, along with the sentiment, to a Zig Zag Stitched Rectangle die from MFT. I added some little fishtail banners to the side of my rectangle and popped up my image panel onto the card base using some foam tape. I finished my card by adding some doodles around the perimeter of both the cardbase and the image panel. Super simple!

I would also love to play along in the Jaded Blossom November Challenge...Anything Goes.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today and taking a look at my latest creation!

I really appreciate it!

Holiday Filled With Sweetness!

 Hi everyone and Happy Monday!

Digi Doodle Studios released some new images a few days ago and

 I wanted to stop by and share a project that I created using one of the newly released images called

Peppermint Kringle.

I am ready for Christmas, we even put up our tree yesterday. No decorations on it or the rest of the house just yet but the soft glow of the lights last night sure was pretty! I think Christmas lights are good for the soul lol! Anyone else do any holiday decorating yet?

Back to my card....

I printed out my image, Peppermint Kringle, onto a piece of white Hammermill cardstock and colored him with Copic markers. Once I had him colored, I used an oval die to cut him out and set him aside while I worked on the rest of my card. I covered my A2 top folding cardbase with some festive patterned paper. I trimmed down a piece of red patterned paper, giving the bottom a fishtail edge, added some crochet thread to the top and popped it up onto my card front with foam tape. I added my image with more foam tape and added my greeting to the bottom of my oval. I finished my card with some glitter on his wings, some snowflake sequins and a few white Nuvo drops. 

I think he is just so sweet!!

Copic Colors Used:

--Skin: E50, E51, E21--

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.

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!!!

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!!

Hi everyone and happy happy Thursday!

It's almost the weekend! Yay!!

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

Happy Halloween From All Of Us!

 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:
