You are magic!

 

Hi everyone!

I hope your day is off to a great start!

Today I am sharing a fun card that I created using a new image from

Digi Doodle Studios called Fairy Elida.

I really wanted the focus of my card to be that incredible little Fairy Elida, so I kept my card fairy simple. I started by printing her out onto some white Hammermill paper, coloring her with my Copic markers and then fussy cutting her out. I used a scallop rectangle gallery frame die to cut out my frame from some soft pastel paper. I lined the inside opening with a bit of glitter cardstock and then popped it up onto my card base with some foam tape. I cut my sentiment and stars using my Cricut and the same pastel paper. I used more foam tape to pop up Fairy Elida and then adhered my greeting and stars with liquid glue. I added a few Blizzard Nuvo Drops to complete my card.

Copic Colors Used:

--Skin: E000, E00, E21, R20, R81--

--Hair: RV52, RV55, RV17, RV59--

--Wings: BG0000, BG000--

--Dress: YG00, YG01, YG03, YG05--

--Flowers: V000, V01, V04, Y11--

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

--Jan's Digi Stamps Challenge: May 2022 Anything Goes--

--The Cutie Pie Challenge Blog: #171 Digis & Die Cuts--

Winter Wonderland Wishes

Hi friends!
Happy Happy 2022!!!!

I hope this new year brings you all health & happiness!!

Since it is the first of the month, it is time for a new challenge at 

The Four Seasons Challenge blog!! Yay!!

Here is a look at the photo inspiration for this month: 

The picture is for inspirational purposes so if the picture doesn't strike your fancy, you can enter a WINTER themed project. The picture is purely optional.

Here is a look at the card that I created:

I loved all the snow in the inspiration photo so I decided to create my own little scene on a mini slimline style card. I even managed to use a couple of different stamp sets that I have had for awhile and never used! Yay me! One of my goals this year is to buy less and use more of what I have, or at least try to haha! 

I started my card by creating my mini slimline from some white cardstock and covering it with some diagonal striped patterned paper. I die cut a white scalloped rectangle and adhered that to my card front and added some snowy patterned paper on top. I stamped my little snowman, masked him off, and then stamped my background scene onto a piece of copic friendly cardstock. Once I had it colored, I stamped my greeting along the bottom and fussy cut around the trees and snow drift so that I could pop up my scene with some foam tape onto the front of the card. I completed my card by adding some Frosted Lace Stickles to the snow in front of the houses and a few random White Nuvo Drops to add a little more visual interest for the snowy scene.

Copic Colors Used:

--Trees: YG03, YG05, YG61, YG63, G94, G46, E25--

--Houses: E23, E25, E49, N3, N5, Y11--

Make The Cards: Featured Creator!

 Hi everyone and happy Monday!

I'm so happy to be a Featured Creator this week for the

 Make The Cards Challenge Blog

They have some fun challenges to play along with weekly and this week is no exception!

The theme this week is....

and here is a look at the card that I created:

This card was really fun to make! I started by getting some Bristol Smooth Cardstock and a small polka dot stencil and creating my dots with some Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Ink. Once I had a sheet full of polka dots, I set that aside to dry a bit while I worked on the rest of the card. I stamped that adorable Bunny and Bird from Hello Bluebird and colored them with my Copic Markers. Once I had them colored in, I used some masking paper to cover them up so that I could create some scenery behind them. I used a cloud stencil with more Salvaged Patina Oxide ink and a Grassy Edge stencil with some Mowed Lawn Oxide ink. I used a circle die to cut out my image and backed it onto a Vellum Circle. I die cut my polka dotted background and placed my image onto the side, cutting off the excess. I die cut my greeting and added it onto a piece of white cardstock so that it didn't get lost among the dots.
I tied some thread around my panel, backed it onto a piece of vellum and popped the entire piece onto my card base with some foam tape for a little dimension. So cute!!

Copic Colors Used:

--Bunny: E40, E41, E43, R30, R000--

--Bird and Leaves: B0000, B00, B01, R30, YG01--

Whimsical Wishes

Hi everyone!

I hope you are having a fabulous weekend!

Today I have a sweet slimline card to share with you that I created using some dies from Hello Bluebird along with a stamp from Whimsy Stamps.

I had so much fun making this! I started by using the Fairy Glade Scene Vertical Die from Hello Bluebird and cutting it out multiple times, using different colors of scrap cardstock. Once I had my pieces cut out, I inked along some of the edges for a bit of dimension and then layered them onto my card front. Once I had my scene set, I stamped that adorable little fairy from Whimsy stamps called Fairy Dreams and colored her with my Copic markers. Once I had her colored in, I fussy cut her out and added some sparkles to her dress with a white gel pen. I used some liquid glue to adhere the bottom half of her to the top of the mushroom and added some foam tape to her wings so that they popped out just a bit. I added some white doodles with a white gel pen, white Nuvo drops to the mushroom and some glitter accents to the flowers and grass. I completed my card by stamping my greeting with black ink, using a banner die to cut it out, and adhering it to the bottom with foam tape.  Really quite simple even though it doesn't look like it. Gotta love that!

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!

Hello Summer

Hi everyone!

I hope you are having a fabulous day!

I have a card to share with you today that I made with a few challenges in mind. 

They are:

--Cute Card Thursday: #639 Summer--

--Stamplorations June Stencil Challenge--

--Die Cut Divas: Summertime Fun--

--Classic Design Challenge Blog: #6 June 2020--

&

--Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Summer Fun--

Here is a look at the card that I created:

Summer fun for me is definitely going to the beach and relaxing. I've had this stamp set from Hello Bluebird for awhile now and never got it inky. These challenges were the perfect time to pull it out and play with it. I started my card by doing a little ink blending for the ocean and using a cloud stencil to create the sky. I added some Kraft cardstock for my sand layer and trimmed down my panel. I covered a white card base with some blue patterned paper and added my beach panel to the center.  I used my Misti to stamp my sentiment using a set from Neat & Tangled and added a yellow frame.  I stamped out the Hippo, Umbrella, Pail, Ball, Towel and drink with some Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored in the images with my Copic markers. After they were colored, I used my Scan N Cut to cut them out and layered them to create my scene.  I felt like it needed just a little something so I printed out a little sailboat clipart that I found for free on Google, colored it, fussy cut it out and added it to my scene.

 I'm so pleased with how this card turned out! I think it is so fun and cute!!

I started building my scene by adding some tress,  the ground and bat with the Spooky Scene Die from Hello Bluebird. I added a bit more sparkle to the bat with my Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pen. I used the Halloween Party stamp set, also from Hello Bluebird, and colored that sweet kitty and the string of lights with my Copic markers. I used my Scan N Cut2 to cut out my stamped images and then added them to my scene. I cut some pumpkins out from the Gallery Frame Die #3 as well as that fun Ric Rac Frame Border, added my greeting to one of my pumpkins and then added the entire panel to a gray card base.  I finished my card by adding some Glow In The Dark Nuvo drops to the lights for a fun little surprise.
