Broom Rides

 Hi everyone!

I hope your day is off to a great start!

I have a Halloween card to share with you today that uses a really fun image from Digi Doodle Studios called Sabrina's Moon.

I thought it would be fun to make a Center Step Card since I haven't made one in a while. I used to really love making this style of card and I think it really brings the focus to your image. I made my card base from some black cardstock and lined the sides with some black and white striped paper. I cut my purple layering pieces and did a bit of inking with some Black Soot Distress Ink and a Cloud Stencil to create the look of a sky. I colored Sabrina's Moon with my Copics and cut her out using my Scan N Cut. I popped her up onto my card with some foam tape and added a little sparkle by adding some Nuvo Drops and Glossy Accents to the stars and the moon. I added some shimmery ribbon along with my sentiment & completed my card by adding a spider web border.

Copic Colors Used:

--Skin: E00, E01, E04, E21, R00, R20--

--Hair: E21, e23, E57, E79--

--Cats/Boots/ Headband/Tights: C00, C0, C2, C5, C7, R00--

--Broom: E33, E35, YR21, YR23, YR24, YR27--

--Dress: V12, V15, V17, C7, C5, C2--

I will also be entering my card into the following challenges:

Stamp Anniething December Release Day 1

Hi and welcome to Day #1 of 

Stamp Anniething's December Release!

Maggie will be available in the store Friday along with the other 2 stamps we show you  this week!!

`~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Here is a look at the card that I made with this super cute stamp, Maggie - Awareness Is Key

I created my card base from a file from SVGCuttingFiles called, Center Step Edged Open Scallop Card Base and used some patterned paper from Me & My Big Ideas to decorate it. I stamped out that sweet image and colored her with my Copic markers and paper pieced her dress. I popped her up with some foam tape onto a stitched oval die cut and added it to the front panel of my card base. I added my greeting by cutting out a tag from the Mini Tag 2 set from Jaded Blossom and adding the word "HOPE" by cutting out some letters from the Alphabet Dies 2 set, also from Jaded Blossom. I finished off my card with some pink ribbon and some pearls.

I can think of so many organizations that I would love to bring awareness to. I kept tossing so many different ones around in my head before deciding on Breast Cancer, so I'm sure you will be seeing me using this stamp again. You can read more about Breast Cancer at the Susan G. Komen website or by clicking HERE

Holly

Hi everyone! I hope you are having a great day so far!

Today I am back to share with you a Christmas card that I created using the Holly stamp set from Pink & Main.

I love making center step cards, so I knew I wanted to make one for Christmas. One of the things I love about this type of card, besides the fun fold, is that your image really seems to be front and center and this cute little girl definitely deserves the spotlight. After I had her all colored in with my Copics, I used the coordinating Holly Die to cut her out. I popped her up with some foam tape for a little added dimension. I stamped the greeting, also from the Holly stamp set, onto a piece of white cardstock, popped it up on the bottom of my card and then added the little holly leaves on each side to help frame the greeting.

You can see the Pink & Main Blog HERE ,

Project 3 for the Scrappy Moms Stamps June Release

Happy Wednesday!!

Today I am back with a project that showcases a greeting from one of the new stamp sets from the Scrappy Moms Stamps June release.

I decided to make a center step card and use that sweet little greeting from the new
Writing On The Wall stamp set.

To make my card base, I simply followed a tutorial from Split Coast Stampers. After I had my card base ready to go, I added some fun patterned papers. I found this cute little bear sleeping on the moon in the silhouette store and thought it went perfectly with the little icons on the greeting. The Writing On The Wall stamp set has so many cute sayings and I love that some of them even have little pictures/icons that can be colored in for just a little pop of color. I colored in the moon, stars and little heart on my greeting incorporating some of the colors found on my patterned paper.  I love that little extra touch. 

Here is a complete look at the new stamp sets that were released this month.

Graduation Time!!!

Happy Sunday!

I hope your weekend has been great so far!!

Today I get to show you a fun little card that features some of that gorgeous

 Lovebug Creations Rumple Ribbon!

I decided to make a center step card with lots of sparkle to give to my daughter for her graduation! 

I used my cameo to cut out the card base. I stamped my sentiment using a My Creative Time stamp and added that fun grad cap, also from My Creative Time. I added a few pieces of star confetti randomly onto my card. Of course, the red bow made with the Christmas Candy Simply Sheer

was the perfect finishing touch!

Today is my last post as a Creative Team member for LoveBug Creations.

You're A Great Catch!

Hi guys!

I hope your Saturday is off to a great start!

Today I get to share with you another project for the

 Joy's Life Design Team!

This week is all about the great outdoors!

As soon as I saw this cute little sentiment on the Wild Life Puns stamp set, I knew the card that I wanted to create.

Isn't that sentiment great?? I love it!!

For my card base, I cut out the center panel step card (design id # 39775) from the silhouette store. The bear holding the fish also came from the silhouette online store, design id #43388.

I added a button on each side along the bottom and threaded some hemp cording through the button holes. 

I stamped my sentiment using some Tuxedo Black ink from Memento.

Joy's Life Stamps stamp so wonderfully!!

Here is a close up of my sentiment:

Look at all the great sentiments on the Wild Life Puns set:

Who's Ready For Summer??

Hi Everyone!

Happy Thursday!

Today I get to share with you another project using that awesome 

Craftwork Cards CANDi

I don't know about you, but I am ready for summer! As soon as I think we are getting spring we get a cold front coming through that tricks us haha! I'm sure once summer comes I will be wishing it was a little bit cooler though ;)

I cut my card base out of my silhouette as well as the flip flops. 

The sentiment is from the Pun In The Sun stamp set by Joy's Life.

I added some Icing Sugar CANDi to the middles of my flowers on my flip flops as well as on the front of my card, to give my card a little bit more dimension without the bulk. Even with the CANDi on the card, it still lays flat, I love saving money on shipping!

For my project I used Icing Sugar CANDi:

There are so many great colors and patterns in the CANDi line!
