Hello My Friend

Hi everyone and happy Thursday!

I hope you are doing well and have some fun plans for the upcoming weekend!

Today I am stopping by to share a card that I created using a new digital stamp from

 Digi Doodle Studios named Ivy Rose.

For my card, I covered the front of a white A2 card with some floral paper and rounded the opposing corners. I used a Stitched Dome Frame die to cut out my white frame, as well as the blue gingham background, and added them to the front of the card. I printed out the Ivy Rose image using some white Hammermill cardstock, cut her out using my Cricut and colored her in with my Copic markers (colors listed below). I added some white polka dots to her bow with a white paint pen & popped her up onto my card with foam tape. I die cut the "hello" from pink cardstock, adhered it with more foam tape and added a sub-sentiment underneath.

I think she is so sweet!

Copic Colors Used:

--Skin: E50, E51, E21, E04, R81--

--Hair: E23, E25, E27--

--Clothes: R32, R34, RV11, C3, C5, C6--

--Bird/Bird Bath: B32, B21, W0, W1, W3--

--Flowers: YG61, YG63, R00, Y11, C1--

I would also like to play along in the following challenges:

--Triple B: April 2026--

--Passion for Markers: #834 Dots and/or Stripes--

&

--Creative Knockouts: #569 Two or More Patterned Papers

I hope you have a great crafty day!

Hi everyone!

Happy happy Monday!

I hope you had a fun and fabulous weekend!

I'm stopping in today to share a card that I created to play along in a few challenges,

 I will link them below.

Here is a look at my card....

As I previously mentioned, I think in a January post, one of my goals this year is to use some of my ephemera packs that I seem to collect and never use lol. I created this card using some patterned papers from Doodlebug and a couple of pieces from the coordinating Odds & Ends pack.

I started by creating an A2 cardbase using white cardstock and covering it with some floral patterned paper from the Butterfly Kisses paper pack & doodling around the perimeter with a black micron pen. Next, I cut a piece of pink patterned paper down, doodled around the perimeter and used a distressing tool to rough it up just a bit for a little visual interest. I adhered it to a piece of vellum and popped it up onto my card with some foam tape. I used a die to cut out my little tag, also with paper from the Butterfly Kisses paper pad, glued it to my card front and popped up that adorable tea cup and flower from the ephemera pack with more foam tape. I die cut out the "hello" three times, stacked them together to give a little depth and stability, and added that under my tag. I finished my card by adding some white Nuvo drops and a white hemp bow. 

This was so simple to make but I absolutely love how it turned out! 

Maybe it's the bright colors or the florals?

Reminds me of Spring/Summer and I am definitely ready for some warmer temps lol!

The challenges that I would like to play along in are...

**Sketch N Scrap February Card Sketch: #294**

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

I just love this sentiment from the Hay Friend stamp set and I knew that I wanted to build my card around it. I started by creating my A2 top folding card base from white cardstock. I added a small strip of red check patterned paper on top of some farm themed patterned paper, separating the two layers with a scallop border from the Border Dies and a hemp bow before adding it on top of my card base. I die cut out my photo frame by using the Photo Frame Die and added my sentiment to the bottom using the Hay Friend stamp set and Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I built my little farmer by using the Girl Gnome Dies, Gnome Dies: Girl Gnome Face Add Ons, Gnome Dies: Girl Scarecrow Add Ons (hat), Gnome Faces and the Gnome Dies: Farm Add Ons and tucked her into my frame and added a little piggy also from the Gnome Dies: Farm Add Ons. I added a piece of blue patterned paper behind the frame and tucked in a little cloud from the Spring Dies 2. I added a little enamel flower to her hat and placed my scene at an angle onto my card base and it was done! 

I think this turned out so incredibly cute!!!

How cool is this Tree Swing??

I created my card by first creating my A2 cardbase from white cardstock and layering a piece of pink patterned paper that I cut out using the Scallop Rectangle Dies 2 on top. I cut out some cloud patterned paper using the Rectangle Dies 2 & added that to my card. I built my little girl by using the following dies: Girl Gnome Dies, Gnome Dies: Girl Gnome Face Add Ons, Gnome Faces, Gnome Dies: Leg Add Ons, Gnome Dies: Motorcycle Add Ons (arms), and the Gnome Dies: Spring Add Ons (hat). Once I had her built, I placed her onto my swing created with the Tree Swing Die and added it to my card front. I die cut the word Hello using the Hello Gnomie Word Die a few times, stacking them together to get some dimension, and glued it to my card to finish it off. 

I think this turned out so cute!!

 Hi everyone & happy July!!

Today starts a new challenge over at the Jaded Blossom blog!!

This month is... ANYTHING GOES!!

 We would love to see your projects that use some of those awesome

 Jaded Blossom stamps/dies!

Challenge Guidelines: 

1) Project must be new for this challenge, no back linking

2) Project must have a Jaded Blossom stamp, die, or stencil somewhere on it. 

3) Only one entry per person

Here is a look at the card that I created for the challenge:

I love all things Bees and Gnomes so why not combine them?? haha!

I started my card by die cutting some patterned paper using the Card Mat Dies and adhering it to my white card base. I die cut two hexagons using the Stitched Hexagons Die, once from Vellum and again in a honeycomb patterned paper. I adhered my two hexagons together and cut off one edge before adhering it to my card front. I built that adorable little gnomie dressed up like a little bee keeper using the following dies: Girl Gnome Die, Gnome Dies: Girl Gnome Face Add Ons, Gnome Dies: Hair Add Ons, Gnome Dies: Spring Add Ons, Gnome Faces Stamp and using the Gnome Dies for the flower. Once I had her built, I added a little blush to her check using some Copic markers and adhered her to the center of the hexagon. I created my sentiment by stamping the HAPPY from the Happy Hello Add Ons 2 using some Versafine Ink and using the coordinating Happy Hello Add Ons 2 Outline Dies and popping it up with foam adhesive. I used the Buzzing With My Gnomies stamp set to do a little selective stamping. I carefully stamped just the word Bee onto some black cardstock and heat embossed it with white embossing powder, trimming it down and adding it to the top of my card. I added some hearts using the Embellishment Cluster Die and the Banner Dies, along with a few white Nuvo drops, to complete my card. So super cute!

Hi everyone and happy Saturday!

I have a fun card to share with you today that I created using a new stamp set from 

Gerda Steiner Designs called Enjoy The Ride.

This stamp set is so fun! It includes 3 images and 6 sentiments.

There is also a coordinating die set that not only cuts out the dogs, but will cut out the opening for the window in the car. 

I created my card by first making my A2 card base from white cardstock. I trimmed down a piece of blue patterned paper and adhered that to the front of my card. I added a piece of striped patterned paper, added that to the bottom of my card & tied some red crochet thread for a little separation between the two patterned papers. I die cut a scalloped stylized rectangle from some road themed patterned paper and popped that up onto my card with foam tape. I stamped my car from the Enjoy The Ride Stamp onto a piece of red patterned paper, fussy cut it out and added it to a piece of white cardstock. I used the coordinating die to cut out my window, going through both layers & ran it through my die cutting machine with a stitched stylized rectangle die so that the stitching was consistent on the car and the white cardstock. I added a piece of vellum to the backside so that it could act as the window on the opposite side of the card before adhering my car layer onto my road patterned paper. I stamped that little doggy with some black Memento Ink and did some simple coloring with my Copic markers. I tucked him behind the stamped window and added my sentiment and some matte enamel dots to complete my card. 

So fun!!

Copic Colors Used:

--Window: B000, B00--

--Dog: E31, E33, E41, R00, R20, E04--

--Glasses and Door Handle: C3, C5, C6--

Hi crafty friends!

I hope you are doing well!

Today I'm popping in real quick to share a simple, but cute, card that I made for a few challenges.

The challenges that I am entering are:

--Lil Patch Of Crafty Friends: Anything Goes--

--Die Cut Diva's: Anything Goes (must use a die cut)--

--Critter Crazy: #84 Must use a Critter--

&

--Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #569--

Here is a look at the card that I created:

When I saw the above sketch, I knew I wanted to create a little window with my heart shape. I cut four different patterned papers and adhered them onto a piece of scrap cardstock, alternating the patterns. I used a stitched rectangle to cut out my front panel from some white cardstock. Once I had that cut, I ran it through my die cut machine again, using a stitched heart to create my window. I popped up my window piece with foam tape onto my patterned paper strips and then adhered that to a white A2 top folding card. I stamped my sentiment onto a piece of light gray cardstock and very carefully fussy cut it out so that I could keep the wavy shape of the sentiment. I adhered that to the card, making sure to put a little piece of foam tape in the center of the sentiment strip so that it didn't get crushed when going through the mail. I stamped my little mouse with some black memento ink and did some quick coloring with Copic markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut it out and popped it up with more foam tape. I completed my card with a little pearl heart in the middle of the dandelion & a few sequins just to add a little sparkle. 

This turned out so simple and I LOVE it!!

Copic Colors Used:

--Mouse: W0, W1, W3, R000, R00, R20--

--Dandelion: YG03, Y13--

I loved that sketch and this stamp set from Sunny Studio immediately came to mind when I saw it!

I started by creating a white A2 top folding card base and popping up a white scallop rectangle on top with foam tape. I cut some small strips of patterned paper and added them to my card front. I stamped my images using some black Memento ink and colored them with my Copic markers. I used the coordinating die to cut them out and popped them up onto my circle pieces. I stamped my greeting onto a piece of patterned paper and tucked it under my circle focal point. To finish my card, I used an older SU! punch to cut out my leafy "branch" and adhered that, being sure to tuck it behind the bee hive. 

Those little bees are just so cute!

Waffle Flower December Release!

Hi everyone!
I hope you are all having a fabulous day!

It's time for the Waffle Flower December Release and I'm so excited to be a guest designer!

This release is jam packed with so many wonderful products and I am over the moon that I got to work with some of them.

Let's take a look at the projects that I made using some of the new, along with some older Waffle Flower products.

My first card features the new Flower Gift Box Die. I love sending cards just because so I decided to make a card to send someone a paper hug and let them know they are being thought about. I started by creating an A2 cardbase from some white cardstock and adhering a strip of pink patterned paper from the Half-Half Dots Christmas Paper down the middle. I created my little box of flowers and added it to a piece of white cardstock that I lightly inked. I added my sentiment from the Postage Collage underneath and added a few sequins to complete my card. 

So many possibilities with this die! 

By simply changing the sentiment, it could be used for so many different occasions...Valentine's, Thinking of You & Congrats just to name a few. Flowers are so versatile!

 I used the new Gradient Heart Panel Die for my second card. 

I created a white A2 top folding card and rounded the two opposite corners. I used the Gradient Heart Panel Die and cut it out twice using two different papers from the Half-Half Lines Caprice Paper Pad.  The biggest heart was adhered flat onto the card front & the second biggest was added with foam tape. I stamped my greeting using a stamp from the Frontline Heroes 2 stamp set onto the center heart and  adhered it using two layers of foam tape so that there was a slight progression of depth. I used the Flower Gift Box Die for the smaller hearts and finished my card with some sequins and a crochet thread bow. 

I adore how this die does all the work for you!

Quick and easy but makes a big impact!

I used the Rose Background Stencil Duo for my third card.

I inked up some yellow roses (my favorite 💛) onto a piece of smooth white cardstock. 

I trimmed it down by cutting about an inch off of one side and adhered a thin strip of gold glitter cardstock. I popped it up onto a white A2 cardbase using foam tape. I used the Elegant Love Stamp Set and stamped the sentiments with some black ink. 

I love that the sentiments are all on ONE stamp!!

Next, I lined up the Elegant Love Matching Die, ran it through my die cutting machine and voila!, I had 9 sentiments ready to go! They are all fabulous but I picked the Sending Love, popped it up with some foam tape and added a few gold sequins to complete my card. 

I love having a collection of sentiments ready to go!

Here is a complete list of all the Waffle Flower products that I used in my cards:

Card 1:

Flower Gift Box Die

Postage Collage Stamp Set

Half-Half Dots Christmas Paper Pad
