So lucky...

 Hi everyone!

I hope you are all doing well!

I was able to play for a little bit in my craft room

 and create a super cute card (at least I think so hehe).

Here is a look at the card that I created...

When I was picking out pattern papers for my project, I pulled them out of the stack and just laid them onto my desk. I loved the way they looked being at different angles so I went with that!

I adhered them to my white card base and trimmed off the overhang and then doodled around the perimeters of the card and pattern papers. I used some stamps & dies from Jaded Blossom and created that super sweet little lady bug. I needed something to help keep her the focal point so I die cut a white circle, popped that up with foam tape and then added my lady bug, also with foam tape to my card front. I stamped my sentiment, used the coordinating dies to cut it out and placed it under my image with foam tape. I added a flower, some little hearts and a tiny little bow to her antenna to complete my card. 

I would like to play along with the following challenges:

--Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Use Craft Dies--

--Jaded Blossom: May Monthly Challenge Anything Goes--

&

--Love Those Pretty Paper Challenge: May--

Here is a look at the card that I created to share with you today:

I just can't get enough of these adorable penguins!

To make my card, I actually started with the Winter Sparkle Stencil. I used the stencil and some white embossing paste to create my background onto a piece of light blue cardstock. While the embossing paste was wet, I sprinkled a light dusting of glitter on the top so that it could dry onto the embossing paste and not come off so easily. I set that aside to dry and started building my little penguin, using the following products: Gnome Friends: Penguin Die, Penguin Faces and the heart from the Banner Dies. Once my background was dry, I cut it down and placed it onto a white A2 cardbase. I built some little snow hills using the Border Dies 2 and some white glitter cardstock. I built my lamp using the Street Lamp Die and the Street Lamp Die: Winter Add Ons, tucking it between the snowy hills. I added a frame from the Rectangle Internal Scallops and added my little penguin to the card. I stamped my greeting from the Penguin Kisses & used the Penguin Kisses Outline Dies to cut it out and popped it up with some foam tape. So cute!

Here is a look at the card that I created to share with you today:

October will be here before we know it so I decided to make a Breast Cancer Awareness card to send as a friendly reminder to a friend to get her annual check. 

I created my card by making a white A2 top folding card base and using the Scallop Rectangle Frame Dies 2 to cut out a white layer to add on top. I die cut some Breast Cancer Awareness patterned paper out using the Rectangle Dies 2 and adhering that to my white scallop layer. I used the NEW Photo Frame Die to cut out my pink polka dotted frame. I built my little girl gnome using the Girl Gnome Dies, Gnome Dies: Girl Gnome Face Add Ons and the Gnome Faces and added her to my frame, making sure to bring her head forward. Kind of like she is peeking out of the frame a bit. I added a piece of white cardstock to the back of the frame and used some foam tape to behind her hat to give just a bit more dimension before adding it to the front of my card. Once I had my frame with my gnome adhered, I used the NEW Gnome Dies: Awareness Ribbon Add On to die cut the ribbon from some pink glitter paper, added her little hands and attached it to my gnome. I stamped my sentiment from the Fight For A Cure stamp set with black ink and die cut it out using the Mini Tag Dies 2 and popped it up with more foam tape, cutting off the overhang to make it flush with the card. I completed my card with a few hearts that I cut out using the Banner Dies and Embellishment Cluster Die.

So sparkly!!

The challenge that started today is....

"Lots of Layers"

Here is a look at the project that I created:

How cute is that little bear looking up at his caterpillar friend? 

I used some papers that I've had in my stash for a few years from Elle's Studio to create the layers on my card front. I took 3 different patterns and die cut them out with a stitched rectangle die. Next, I trimmed them down to varying widths and layered them on top of each other. I used a border punch to create a little pink scallop to act as a divider between the polka dot and graph paper. I added some crochet thread before popping up the patterned paper layer onto my card base with foam tape. I colored that sweet image, Happiness Is A Beary Daisy*, with my Copic markers and trimmed it down. I distressed the outside perimeter to give just a little bit of visual interest and adhered it to my card front. I finished my card by popping up my sentiment strip with more foam tape and adding a little bow onto my thread. So cute!!

Copic Colors Used:

--Bear: E40, E41, E42, E43, R00, R20--

--Shirt: R81, R85--

Celebrate Winter

Here is a look at the project that I created:

To create my card, I started with an A2 cardbase that I created using white cardstock. I used a stitched rectangle die to cut out some patterned paper and adhered that to the card front. I die cut my snowy background paper using a scalloped rectangle and adhered that as well. I printed out the Izzy's Snowy Day image from Di's Digi Stamps onto some white Hammermill cardstock and colored it with my Copic markers. I printed the image a second time so that I could do a bit of paper piecing on the umbrella for a little visual interest. I stamped my sentiment onto a strip of white cardstock and added that to my card towards the bottom. I fussy cut my image out and popped it up with some foam tape. I completed my card with a few snowflake sequins and white Nuvo drops.

Lucky To Know You

 Hi crafty friends!

I hope you are having a wonderful day so far!

Today starts a new challenge over at the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge blog.

Challenge #563 is a color challenge! Use Sky blue, Pink & Red on your project!

Here is a look at what I created:

I always seem to struggle with Color Challenges. They rank right up there with Masculine cards when it comes to me lol! I'm not sure why. Maybe it's just me. Anyone else struggle with color challenges?

I decided to keep my card super simple. I pulled two different blues and two different pinks that I felt went with the above colors and a piece of red. I cut all my papers into thin strips, I keep them all at 1/4" except for the red, which I made a tad thinner. Once I had my strips cut, I added some adhesive to a piece of white cardstock and added my strips at an angle, repeating the pattern. I trimmed off the overhang, rounded the corners and added it to a light blue cardbase. Next, I took a word die and cut my greeting out of a piece of white cardstock & adhered a piece of red cardstock to the back. I popped it up onto my card front with foam tape. I added some little hearts and a flower, punched out using the scraps, along with some white Nuvo drops to to complete my card. I really like how it turned out!

I hope you will stop by the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Blog and take a look at what the rest of the team created and play along with us! I would love to see what you create and how the cupcakes inspired you!

Hey Gull Friend!

Hi crafty friends and happy happy Friday!!

Any fun plans for the weekend? I think we are venturing out and doing a little shopping. 

Yay! Always a fun time, even if it is just mainly window shopping :) 

I wanted to pop in and share a card that I made for the February 2023 Heffy Doodlers Challenge. 

The challenge is Sending Love. So many possibilities with that one! 

I decided to create a card to send to a friend for no reason other than to let them know they are being thought about and to say Hello. 

I had a lot of fun with this one. I started by creating a little scene with some stencils and distress oxide inks. Once I had that done, I trimmed it down and matted it onto a piece of Pool Party cardstock. I stamped my sentiment in the "sandy" area and then popped up my panel onto a white A2 cardbase. I used the Build A Cabin Die to create my little cabana and placed it onto my card front. I finished my card by doing some simple coloring on one of the birds from the You Go, Gull stamp set, fussy cutting it out and popping it up with more foam tape. So super simple but I absolutely love how it turned out!

Copic Colors Used:

For my card, I decided to use both the inspiration as well as the sketch!

I followed the sketch layout using some patterned papers from Doodlebug. I stamped my image onto some Copic friendly cardstock and did some simple Copic coloring before popping it up with foam tape onto my card front. I finished my card by adding a few enamel dots in the upper left corner and a little bow by the kitty's ear.

Friends Warm The Coldest of Days

Hi crafty friends and happy Wednesday!

Today I am popping in real quick to share a card that I made using some stamps that are a bit older but never out of the package. I'm trying to make it my goal to actually use more of what I have this year and to maybe buy less? hahaha! Hey, I said try!

To create my card, I started with a white A2 cardbase and added a white scallop frame with foam tape on top. I added some patterned paper and then started working on my scene. I created my little scene using some stamps from C.C. Designs and some dies from Lawn Fawn (hills) and MFT (tag). Once I had everything arranged like I wanted, I popped up my tag with more foam tape onto the front of my card. I added some sparkly twine, some snowflake sequins and some white Nuvo drops for my finishing touches. 

Aren't they so cute?? 

Copic Colors Used:

How Lucky I Am...

Hi crafty friends and happy happy Friday!!

I have some exciting news to share!

I'm now a part of the All Dressed Up Design Team!!

Yay!!

I just adore all of the super cute images and am so excited to color up some of these sweeties and share them with you!

Today starts a new challenge over at the All Dressed Up Challenge Blog and they are always anything goes as long as you use a All Dressed Up image.

Here is a look at the card that I created to share with you today:

I wanted to play with the image called, 3 Little Summer Girls for my card. The image is actually a group of 3 little girls but you also get each girl individually so I paired two of them together to create my scene. Once I had the two girls how I wanted them, I printed them out onto some white hammermill cardstock and colored them in with my Copic markers. I added a very basic beach by coloring where I wanted the sand and the ocean to be, as well as some light clouds in the sky. I added some white paint with a stipple brush for the white caps on the ocean waves, but my camera did not pick those or the clouds up very well :( 

Once I had my scene colored, I stamped my greeting and used a stitched oval die to cut my image out. I added some pretty papers and a sheer bow to a white card base and then popped up my image panel with foam tape. I completed my card with a few little pearls in the corners of my card and some little doodles with a white gel pen onto the pink outfit.

Copic Colors Used:

--Sand: E40, E41, E43, E33--
