Here is a look at the card that I created:

I've had this stamp in my stash for a few months now and finally got around to putting her to use!! Gotta love that!! I stamped her with some Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored her with my Copic Markers. I used a Zig Zag Stitched Rectangle to cut her out and matted her onto a piece of blue cardstock.

So super simple but I really LOVE how it turned out!!

Go Wild!

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)--

Christmas Wishes

Hi everyone!

I hope your day is off to a great start so far!

Today Digi Doodle Studios is having a special release of some adorable

 Christmas Puppies!! Yay!! 

Here is a look at my project that features just one of the new stamps, called 

Dasher Dachshund Christmas Puppy.

Isn't that puppy the cutest?? I thought it would be fun to put him on a little gift box and try to get a tiny bit ahead with some little gifts. I printed out the Dasher Dachshund Christmas Puppy onto some white Copic friendly cardstock, colored him up and used a circle die to cut him out. I layered him on top of a red scallop circle and popped him up onto my bag that I made using a file from the Silhouette store. I added a fun little double layer paper bow and my greeting to the top of the bag and completed the look with some little jingle bells. I finished my bag by adding some white doodles with a gel pen and some Nuvo drops. As it gets closer to the holidays, I will fill the bag with some Hershey's Candy Cane Kisses. Yum! I love to have little things like this on hand readily available to give out.

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

Happy Happy Birthday!!

Hi everyone!

I hope your day is off to a great start!

Today I am sharing a super fun birthday card that I created using an adorable image from Digi Doodle Studios called Party Cats.

Isn't this fun?? I started by creating a frame by using some dies by Hello Bluebird and some fun patterned papers. I printed out my Party Cats and colored them in with my Copic markers. Once I had them colored, I fussy cut them out and glued the bottom edge of the fence to the back of the polka dot frame. I adhered my blue striped frame to a white card base and added some fun party streamers towards the top. I popped up my Party Cats panel with some foam tape for a bit of dimension and added my greeting, popped up with more foam tape, along the front of the fence. I completed my card with some sequins and some white gel pens doodles.

I think this turned out so fun!! I just love these happy Party Cats!

Your Friendship Warms My Heart

Hi everyone!

I hope you are having a fabulous day!

Today is my day to take over the Paper Nest Dolls blog and I created a bright and happy card to share with you today. 

To create my card, I started by creating an A2 card base from some Kraft cardstock. Next I built my card front layers by cutting some fun coffee themed patterned paper and layering it with some green patterned paper. I added a white strip, along with my sentiment, tied a hemp twine bow and attached everything to my Kraft card base. I colored that adorable image from the Paper Nest Dolls, Avery with Coffee, with my Copic markers and used my Scan N Cut to cut her out. I popped her up onto my card with some foam tape for a little extra dimension. I finished my card with a little heart by the sentiment and some enamel dots in the top corner.

I think this turned out so cute!

Be Merry

Hi everyone!

I hope you are having a wonderful Saturday so far!

It is quite warm in my area today so I stayed inside and created a card for a few challenges.

Here is a look at the card that I created:

 I fell in love with this adorable Christmas Snowman from StarJamLines and was itching to color him up. I have been trying to make at least one Christmas card a month to try and ease a bit of stress this holiday season so this was the perfect time to print him out and get coloring. To create my card, I started by making my A2 card base from some white cardstock. I used a stitched die to cut out my red and green patterned paper and layered that on top. I colored up that sweet image with my Copic Markers and used a Cross Stitch die to cut him out and then layered that piece onto a piece of vellum. I popped up my image layer with some foam tape and added some white Nuvo drops and snowflake sequins. I completed my card with a cute little bow for the little bunny. So cute!!!

I will be entering my card into the following challenges:

--Crafty Catz: #514 Anything Goes with option of Christmas--

--Aud Sentiments: #255 Christmas In July + Sentiment--

--My Time To Craft: #436 Christmas In July--

The Beach Is Calling!

Hi everyone!

I hope your day is off to a great start!

Today I have a slimline style card to share with you that I made using an adorable image from La-La Land Crafts along with some dies from Lawn Fawn and My Favorite Things. 

Here is a look at the card that I created:

I started by creating my cardbase with some bright pink cardstock and then using one of the stitched dies from Lawn Fawn to layer another piece of bright pink cardstock on top so that my card had the stitched lines. Next, I started creating my scene. I used a cloud stencil from MFT and lightly inked up my sky with some Broken China Distress Oxide ink. I then used another die from Lawn Fawn to cut out my sky panel also cutting some blue and Kraft so that the stitches lines up on all sides. Once I had that cut out, I cut out my waves using a die from MFT and did a bit of paper tearing for my sand layer. I stamped my greeting and added a bow before popping up my panel with foam tape onto the base. I used some more dies from Lawn Fawn to cut out my palm tress and tucked them behind my sand. I colored that sweet Reading On The Beach Marci from the LLLC June 2020 Club with my Copic markers and used my Scan N Cut to cut her out. I decided to paper piece her towel and bikini with some patterned paper for a little whimsy. I popped her up with more foam tape and added some white doodles to complete my card. 

I had so much fun making this Slimline style card! 

I will be entering my card into the following challenges:

--Coloring In Scrapland: July/August: Summer--

--A Bit More Time To Craft: #119 Anything Goes--

--A Perfect Time To Craft: #7 Anything Goes--

--Tuesday Throwdown: #461 Polka Dots--
