Hello Friend!

Hi everyone!

I hope you are having a fabulous day so far! 

It is very hot in my area so staying inside with the AC and doing a bit of crafting was how I spent my day. Perfection! lol!

I created a mini slimline card (love the mini's!) for a few different challenges.

The challenges that I will be playing along with are:

--Honey Bee Stamps FB Challenge: #76 Coloring--

--Make My Monday Challenge: #152 Anything Airborne--

--Colour Crazy Craft Challenge: Week 27 Anything Coloring--

--Crafty Sentiments: Anything Goes with a Sentiment--

&

--Festive Friday: Friendship Day --

(sentiment, heart, ribbon, pink)

Here is a look at the card that I created:

I started by creating my mini slimline card base from some white card stock and then covering it with some multi colored striped patterned paper. I then cut a piece of white paper and lightly inked the background using some distress ink and a cloud stencil. Next, I stamped out my images, colored them with my Copic markers and fussy cut them out. I popped them up with some foam tape to give a little dimension and added an enamel heart to the front of my birdhouse. I stamped my greeting with black ink and used a die to cut it out. I tied a little bow around the edge of my greeting before popping it onto my card with more foam tape. I finished my card with some white gel pen accents on the leaves. 

Copic Colors Used:

--Tree: E21, E23, E25, E29, YG17, YG03--

Hello Slimline Card

Hi crafty friends and happy Friday!

I hope you are doing well and have some fun things planned for the weekend.

I am hoping to get outside and do a little more gardening. We have been having a bit of a cold front come through so not sure if that is going to happen or not. Fingers crossed!

One of the great things about papercrafting and stamping is that since I can't get outdoors, I can pull out some stamps and bring the outdoors inside and pretend I'm gardening haha!

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

 I stamped my flowers, masking off some of them so that I could create a little field of daises.  Once I had the flowers stamped, I did some simple coloring with my Copic markers and used a stitched slimline die to cut it out. Once it was cut out, I used a light blue Copic marker to go around the edges, as well as around my flowers, to create the feeling of a sky. I stamped my greeting and then adhered my image panel onto a eyelet edge slimline die and popped it up onto my gray cardbase with foam tape. I stamped those little bees (adorable!), colored them with Copics and then fussy cut them out. I added a bit of shimmer to their wings with a shimmer pen and then popped them up with more foam tape. I completed my card with a few sequins and white Nuvo drops for a little interest.

I think this turned out so fun!

Copic Colors Used:

--Flowers: C00, C0, C1, Y11, Y13, Y15, Y18, G21, G24, G46--

--Bees: C2, C4, Y11, Y13, Y15, B0000--

--Sky: B0000, B000--

Floral Happy Birthday

Hi everyone and happy Tuesday!

Today I would like to share a pretty birthday card that I made.

I love all things cute-sy but sometimes I just want to make something pretty and feminine and the Pretty Postage stamp from Honey Bee Stamps was perfect for just that!

Here is a look at the simple card that I made:

 

I started by stamping my image onto a piece of white Neenah cardstock and coloring it with my Copic markers. I added a bit of stitched doodling around the perimeter with a black Micron Pen before adding a strip of black and white striped paper to the left side. I added a yellow twine bow and then adhered my panel onto a white card base. I added a sentiment using one of the sentiments from the Send Happiness strips from SSS and popped it up with a little foam tape. I completed my card with some sequins & Nuvo drops. 

Super easy to make but I absolutely love how this turned out!

Copic Colors Used:

**Envelope: C00, C0**

**Flowers: Y13, Y15, Y17, Y19**

**Hearts: RV55, RV17**

**Leaves:  YG61, G82, BG70, BG72, BG75, YG13, YG17**
