Happy Little Birthday

 Hi everyone and happy Friday!!

Today I have a super adorable (at least I think so lol) card to share with you that I made for a few different challenges. 

The challenges that I will be entering are:

--Seize The Birthday: #213 Anything Goes Birthday (optional topping of Furry Friends)--

--AAA Birthday: #25 Happy Birthday--

--The Paper Shelter: #468 Color It--

--Cute Card Thursday: #685 Anything Goes--

&

--Freshly Made Sketch: Sketch 484--

Fun challenges right? Here is a look at the card that I created to play along:

I think this little stamp from Sugar Pea Designs is just the cutest!  I have fond memories of my daddy  watching Bob Ross on TV and being mesmerized at the painting that was taking shape while he watched. I finally pulled it out and inked it up for the first time, smiling the entire time I was coloring. Not only for the memories but for the cuteness factor, I mean c'mon! lol! Anywho, I'm rambling again. Back to the card. I love the simplicity of the sketch and just rolled with it. I created my A2 card base from some white cardstock and cut out another white layer using a stitched die. I colored my pieces with my Copic markers and adhered them to my card, using double thickness foam tape for my artist. I heat embossed my greeting with some white embossing powder onto a piece of black cardstock and popped that up just a bit using a single layer of foam tape. I completed my card with some black doodles along the perimeter with a black Micron pen and some glossy accents on the paints and paint can. 

I just adore how this turned out!

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend!

Today I have a card to share with you that I created using my 

new Club La-La Land kit that I received in the mail. 

Here is a look at the card that I created:

I had so much fun creating this card! The first thing that I did was to create my background sky by using some distress oxide inks. Once I had the sky created, I set it aside to let it dry a bit while I worked on the rest of the card.  I used the Safari Skyline Border dies that came in the kit, and cut the tree and bird from some black cardstock. I heat embossed my greeting with some white embossing powder and adhered it to a frame that I created using some Kraft cardstock. I popped up my frame with some foam tape onto my sky background and added the sun and bird.  I adhered my background scene to a A2 Kraft cardbase. I stamped Safari Marci with some Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored her with my Copic markers and cut her out using my Scan N Cut. I popped her up with some more foam tape and my card was done! 

This card is so simple but I think that really lets the focus stay on the sky and the adorable image!

 I am so pleased with how it turned out!

I will be entering my card into the following challenges:

--Seize The Birthday: Birthday (optional Non-Neutral Cardbase)--

Happy Birthday Watercolor Card

Hi everyone!

I hope you are having a wonderful Thursday! We are getting some rainy weather here in my area so it's the perfect time to get a little crafting done and play along with a couple of challenges.

The challenges that I am playing along with are:

1. Seize The Birthday: #167 Anything Goes

2. AAA Birthday: #2 Use Water Colors

and

3. Happy Little Stampers June Watercolor Challenge

Anything Goes + Optional Love 

(I didn't do the optional theme)

Fun right? Here is a look at the card that I created for the above challenges:

I love this little elephant stamp from Wild Rose Studio that I got a year or so ago and thought she would be perfect to pull out and play with again. I stamped my image onto some Bristol Smooth cardstock and used my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to do my water coloring! I need a bit more practice with the watercoloring but it was so fun! I need to do it more often! Anywho, Once I had my image colored, I used a Scallop Rectangle die from Jaded Blossom to cut it out. I added my sentiment with some Onyx Black Versafine ink and a stamp set from Jaded Blossom. I created my card base from some Razzle Berry cardstock from MFT and layered it with some fun bright patterned papers from Doodlebug. I popped up my image panel with some foam tape and added a little crochet thread bow to my little elephant to complete my card. So super simple but I think it turned out so completely adorable!!

It's Your Birth-Yay!!

Hi everyone!

I hope you are having a wonderful Tuesday!

It's going to be a hot one in my area today so I'm hunkered down in the craft room playing :) 

I would like to share a card that I made for a couple of challenges.

The challenges that I am playing along with are:

AAA Birthday: Game #1 Anything Birthday Goes 

and 

Seize The Birthday: #166 Presents

Here is a look at the card that I created:

My daughter bought me a few stamp sets for this past Mother's Day (thanks Britt! 💜) and this one was perfect for the above challenges! I started off using a piece of Mermaid Cardstock from Lawn Fawn and making an A2 cardbase. I inked some white cardstock with some Broken China Distress Oxide ink using a Mini Cloud Stencil to create my sky. I used a stitched rectangle die to cut it out & added a bit of grass by using some green cardstock and a grass die from Jaded Blossom. I stamped that fun image from the Birth-Yay stamp set from MFT and colored it with my Copic markers. Once I had it all colored up, I used my Scan N Cut to cut it out and popped it up with some foam tape. I added a few presents tucked behind some of the grass as well. I stamped my greeting onto some more Mermaid Cardstock and adhered it with foam tape. I completed my card with some white gel pen accents, a bit of shimmer with some clear Wink Of Stella and a little tiny bow for the monkey. 

So super cute!!!
