Sending Holiday Cheer!

Hi everyone and happy New Year!!!

I hope you are all well!

I'm so happy to say that my year is starting off wonderfully as I am a guest designer this month for

Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge Blog!! 

Yay!!

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

Isn't that little Polar Bear holding his hot cup of cocoa the cutest?

Here is how I created my card...

I covered my top folding A2 cardbase with some snowflake patterned paper and doodled around the perimeter with a black micron pen. I used a internal scallop frame die to die cut some red patterned paper & added a little snowy hill with my sentiment stamped onto it. I colored my little Polar Bear with my Copic markers, paper piecing his scarf, and used the coordinating die to cut him out. I placed him behind my hill and backed my frame with some vellum to mute the background around my bear just a bit. I added some snowflakes and dots to complete my card. 

Copic Colors Used:

Bear: W1, W3, W7, W9, RV00, RV000

Mug: E25, R29, C00, E40, BG11, BG13

Welcome Little One

Hi everyone!!

Today starts a new challenge over at the Di's Digi Designs Challenge Blog! Yay!

You don't need to use a Di's Digi image or even a digital stamp to enter the challenge though, as long as you follow the theme. You can find more about the rules and requirements on the challenge blog.

The challenge that started today is....

"Anything New"

Here is a look at the project that I created:

Some friends of ours are having a baby this year so as soon as I saw the challenge theme, I immediately thought of their new addition. It's the perfect time to get a card ready to go for when he or she arrives.

I started by creating an A2 card base from white cardstock and die cutting a scallop rectangle using some light green patterned paper. I printed out the "Little Mouse On The Moon" image* from Di's Digital Stamps onto a piece of white Hammermill cardstock and colored it with my Copic markers. I printed the image a second time onto a piece of patterned paper so that I could do a little paper piecing on the blanket. I used a stitched rectangle die to cut out my image, leaving space at the bottom for my greeting. I wrapped some crochet thread around, tied a little bow and popped up my image panel with foam tape. I added a little sparkle to some of the stars using a clear Wink of Stella pen to complete my card. 

I think this turned out so incredibly sweet!

Copic Colors used:

--Mouse: C0, C1, C2, C3, R00, R20--

--Moon/Stars: Y000, Y00, Y11--

--BG000 to outline images--

Mom

 Hi crafty friends!!

I hope you are all having a wonderful day!

Today I have a pretty card to share with you that I created for my mom using an image from 

Pink Gem Designs. 

With Mother's Day fast approaching, I wanted to get ahead a bit and get my mom's card made. The Magnolias from Pink Gem Designs were perfect! I started by creating a A2 card base with some white cardstock and layering a white die cut panel on top, popping up with foam tape. I die cut my letters to spell out MOM from more white cardstock and layered some gold glitter cardstock behind, off setting it just a little so that it peeked out from behind the white letters. I added those to my card front, centering it as best as I could. I printed out some of those beautiful Magnolias and colored them with my Copic markers. I used my Scan N Cut to cut them out & heat embossed the centers and buds with some gold embossing powder. I popped them up with more foam tape and my card was done! I think it turned out so beautiful and elegant! 

My picture definitely does not do it justice. It is so sparkly in person.  

Here is a picture that I took using my flash just so you can kinda see the sparkle.

Copic Colors Used:

--Flowers: W0, W1, W3, E84--

Happy New Year Mini Slimline Card

Hi everyone and happy Thursday!

Today I am sharing a card that I made with the one of the new images released this month from 

All Dressed Up Stamps.

I used the new image called Sparkle for my project.

I think this little fairy is the cutest thing ever!! You could use this image for so many different occasions, including a birthday celebration but I decided to make a New Year's themed card since we are so very close to 2023!

This was pretty simple to make. I decided to make a mini slimline card & covered my card base with some gold glitter cardstock. I printed out Sparkle and colored her in with my Copic markers, I trimmed my card down and added my sentiment to the bottom and some gold ribbon to the top. I popped up my image layer with some foam tape and embellished with some gold sequins, a few Nuvo drops and some accents to the little printed sparkles with a gold gel pen.  

Copic Colors Used:

Thinking Of You

 Hi crafty friends and happy happy Friday!!!

Any fun plans this weekend? 

I'm not quite sure what we are doing yet but I'm sure we will find something lol!

Today is NEW RELEASE day at Ink N Splatter!!!

Oh my goodness! All the new stamp sets in this release are so incredibly cute and the papers....😍

You can see the new release, in it's entirety, at the Ink N Splatter Store Website and examples from the team on the Ink N Splatter Blog.

Here is a look at the card that I created using one of the new clear stamp sets titled, 

Beary Secret Crush.

How sweet are those little bears???

I had so much fun creating this card! I started by creating a white A2 cardbase and covering it with some heart patterned paper from the new 6x6 paper pad, Painted Crush. Next, I cut out a postage stamp using a die and some light pink cardstock and popped it up onto my card base with foam tape. I used some Memento Tuxedo Black Ink to stamp out the bears and butterflies from the Beary Secret Crush stamp set and colored them in with my COPIC markers. I love the Gingham prints in the Pattern Crush 6x6 paper pad so I stamped the image again so that I could paper piece her sweet little dress and bow. Once I had everything colored the way I liked, I used the Beary Secret Crush Craft Dies and cut them all out. I trimmed a piece of white cardstock to fit inside my postage stamp, stamped my greeting and added some soft pink thread & adhered it to my card front. I popped up those sweet images with foam tape, added a bit of glossy accents to the noses and hearts and my card was complete!

Absolutely adorable!!

COPIC colors used:

**Girl Bear: E40, E41, E42, E43, E44, R20, R00**

If Kisses Were Snowflakes...

Hi friends!
 Happy February!

I hope you are all doing well!

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:

 How cute is that little snowman! He just makes me smile so much! I was inspired by the pop of red against the snow in the inspiration photo and this card just fell into place. I started by using some glittery texture paste and a snowflake stencil to create some background paper. While that was drying, I stamped my little snowman and colored him with my Copic markers. I stamped my sentiment onto a smaller piece of cardstock and lightly inked around the perimeter with some Stormy Sky Distress Ink. I adhered it to a piece of red patterned paper, that I die cut out using a postage frame die. I wrapped some thread around, tying it off with a bow, and added it to my snowflake background. I did some more inking around the perimeter before adding the entire panel to a white card base. I completed my card by adding my little snowman along with some snowflake sequins and Nuvo drops. I think it turned out so cute!!

Copics Used:

--Snowman: B0000, B000, YR14, YR16, E35, R20, R00--

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

I really wanted the focus of my card to be on that adorable image, called Priscilla Caster, so I kept my card pretty simple! I printed her out onto a piece of Hammermill cardstock and colored her in with my Copic markers. Once I had her colored, I used a stitched rectangle die to cut her out and inked around the perimeter with some Wilted Violet and Black Soot Distress inks. I added her to a piece of black cardstock and popped it up onto my card base with foam tape. I added some black doodle lines around my card with a black Micron pen and popped up my sentiment with more foam tape. I completed my card by adding a few die cut stars,  yellow Nuvo drops and some white gel pen accents.

Delightfully Wicked

 Hi crafty friends!

I hope you are all having a fabulous day!

Today I am sharing a Halloween card that I created using a cute new stamp set from

 Ink N Splatter titled, Sabrina's Moon.

I kept this card pretty simple so that I could keep the focus on that sweet little witch!

I started by creating a white A2 card and lightly inking around the perimeter with some Black Soot Distress Ink. Next I created a panel by cutting some dark gold glitter paper and layering a piece of patterned paper from the Spooky Nights Paper Pad on top and then adhered it to the center of my card base. I stamped Sabrina's Moon with some Memento Tuxedo Black onto a piece of white Hammermill paper and colored her with my Copic markers. I cut her out with my Scan N Cut and popped her up onto my card front with some foam tape. I created some clouds by using some cloud dies from My Creative Time and inked around them with some more Black Soot Distress Ink. I added my sentiment onto the larger cloud and then placed all three of them on my card with some more foam tape. So super simple but I absolutely love it!!

Mini Slimline Hello

Hi crafty friends!

I hope you are all having a fabulous day!

Today I am sharing a mini slimline card that I created using a cute stamp set from Ink N Splatter titled,

Sweet Honey Bears.

I created my mini slimline from some white cardstock and covered the front with a piece of pretty patterned paper from the Honey Bee Sweet Paper Pack and then rounded all four corners with my corner chomper. I added a small strip of yellow polka dotted paper from the Clucker Club Paper Pack before adding my white scalloped layer onto the front of the card. I stamped that adorable little bear from the Sweet Honey Bears stamp set twice and colored the pieces with my Copic markers. I fussy cut the bow and flower from one of the bears and added it to the other bear with foam tape for some fun added dimension and then popped up my bear with more foam tape onto the front of my card.  I die cut my greeting out a few times, stacked them together and added it to my card.

Poinsettia Christmas Card

Hi friends!

Today starts a new challenge over at the

Here is a look at the card that I created:

I kept this card pretty simple so that it would be pretty easy to mail and I love how it turned out! I started by covering my white card base with some plaid patterned paper and a strip of polka dot paper. I die cut a scallop rectangle from some light green patterned paper and added a piece of cream paper that I splattered with some gold watercolor for a little interest. I added a die cut greeting & popped up the panel onto my card front with some foam tape. I used a couple of poinsettia dies to create my flower and added that to the top left corner of my sentiment panel. I finished my card with a few gold Nuvo drops.

I think it turned out so pretty :)

Buzzing By With A Quick Hello!

 Hi friends!

I hope you are all having a fabulous day!

Today I am sharing a card that I created using an adorable stamp set from Ink N Splatter called, 

Sweet Honey Bears.

I created my card by starting with an A2 card base in yellow cardstock and layering some patterned papers from the Bumble Buzz 6x6 Paper Pack on top. I stamped my images from the Sweet Honey Bears Pairables stamp set using some Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them in with my Copic markers. Once I had them colored, I used the coordinating Sweet Honey Bears Dies to cut them out. I created a little frame using some more yellow cardstock and adhered it to a piece of white cardstock. I arranged my images and popped up my frame with some foam tape onto my card front. I stamped my sentiment with some Versafine Black Ink, used a fishtail die to cut it out and popped it up with foam tape underneath my framed image. I decided to pull out some stickles and add some sparkly honey drips to my beehive, as well as a little twine bow. I added some black Nuvo drops to my bears headband & a little bee to the sentiment to complete my card. 

I just adore this sweet little bear all dressed up as a little honey bee! Too cute!!

Wonderful Birthday Wishes

Hi friends!

I hope are having a fabulous day!

Today starts a new challenge over at the

  Addicted To Stamps & More Challenge Blog and it is....

Make Your Mark simply means we want to see your coloring using pens, pencils, markers, chalks, inks, etc. Easy right? Here is a look at what I created:

 I have had this stamp set from MFT for quite awhile now, I immediately ordered it when it came out in Spring 2020 cause I loved the images so much! Unfortunately, it has sat untouched...until now! I was so happy to pull it out of the packaging and actually ink it up! Yay!! I started by layering some pretty patterned paper onto an white A2 cardbase. I colored all my images with Copic markers and then used my Scan N Cut to cut them out. Once my colored images were all cut out, I built my scene onto a white rectangle, using a grass die as well, and stamped my greeting in the top corner. I tucked some pieces behind a layer of grass and popped others up with foam tape for some dimension. I popped up my scene with even more foam tape onto my card front and finished off my card with some enamel dots and a little bit of paper piecing on her apron. So cute!!

Copic Colors Used:

--House: E40, E41, E42, E43, E44, E23, E25, E27, R24, R27, R29, R89, C00, C0, Y15, Y11--

Happy Birthday!

 

Hello everyone!

I hope your day is off to an amazing start!

I wanted to pop in real quick and share the card that I made for my daughter's birthday. We won't get into how old she is cause then I just feel way too old lol! I will say that she has turned into a remarkable young lady that we are extremely proud of. Happy Birthday Baby Girl!

Anywho, onto the card! When I saw these mice that MFT release recently, I knew I needed them in my life!

 I mean, look at how cute they are!

I have been wanting to create a mini slimline card and the little scene I wanted to create was the perfect time to give a mini slimline a try! I started by creating my card base (3" x 6.5"once folded) from some white cardstock, inked up the bottom portion for the floor and used a brick stencil and some light ink to create my wall. I colored all my mice, banners, cupcake and the crates with my Copic markers and then cut out the images with my Scan N Cut. I layered all the pieces onto my card front, adding some with foam tape for a bit of dimension. I stamped my greeting and used a word die to cut it out, tucking it slightly behind my little mouse. I completed my card with some stickles and some white gel pen details. I placed my card into a regular slimline envelope, so that the pieces that were hanging off weren't an issue, and hand delivered it 🥳

Copic Markers Used:

**Mice: W0, W1, W3, R000, R00, 110**

**Hats/Bow Ties/ Balloon: R81, R83, BG10, BG11**

**Crate: E33, E35, E37**
