Happiest of Holidays!

 Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday!

 (or happy whatever day it is that you've stumbled across this post lol!)

Today I wanted to pop in and share a card that I created with a couple of challenges in mind.

The challenges that I will be entering are:

--ABC Christmas Challenge: E is for Embossing--

--The Paper Funday #63 Anything Goes: w/ optional twist: The Dies Have It--

&

--MFT Stamps: Ready, Set, Christmas Feb 2024--

Here is a look at the Christmas card that I created:

I've had this Christmas Crew Boy Elf die in my stash for at least two years and never used it until now!

Yay for using my stash!! Go me!! lol!

I created my card by creating a white A2 top folding card base and layering a white scallop on top. I used a snowflake embossing folder to emboss onto some white cardstock and trimmed it down to fit within the stitching lines of my scallop rectangle. I created my little Elf, using a mix of cardstock and patterned papers, stamping my sentiment on the cuff of his little hat. I glued my Elf onto the front of my card and used to snowflake sequins and white Nuvo drops to complete the look. 

Thank you so much for stopping by and taking a look at my latest creation!

I really appreciate it!

I hope you have a great crafty day!

Christmas Snowman

Hi everyone!

I hope you are doing well :) 

I have one last holiday card to share with you today that I created using one of my favorite stamps from Gerda Steiner Designs.

I adore this Happy Snowman stamp set. I've used it a few different times but it is one of my go to snowman stamps, it always makes me smile!

I started by covering an A2 cardbase with some falling snow patterned paper. I cut my scallop rectangle from some white cardstock and then cut a window from the middle using another die. I stamped my Happy Snowman image with some Black Memento ink and colored it with my Copic markers. I did a little paper piecing for his hat band and scarf before fussy cutting him out. I stamped my sentiment and then glued my image to the backside of the window opening. I added some crochet thread and popped up my image panel with foam adhesive onto the front of the card. I completed my card with a small bit of glitter, snowflake sequins and some white Nuvo drops. 

I think this turned out so cute!

Copic Colors Used:

Season's Greetings

Hi everyone!

Today I'm sharing a super cute holiday themed card that I made using an image from 

Pink Gem Designs.

How sweet is that little snowman? 

I picked out some older patterned papers from a Pink Paislee 6x6 paper pad and layered them onto a white A2 cardbase. I did wrap a bit of ribbon around separating the two patterned papers before adhering it to my base. I die cut a small scallop rectangle from some white cardstock along with a couple of stitched snowy hills and stamped my greeting along the bottom of one of the hills. I printed out the Snowman with Robins onto some white Hammermill cardstock and used my Scan N Cut to cut it out. Once it was cut out, I colored in the image with my Copic markers and added it to the front of my card, tucking the bottom of the snowman behind the bottom hill just a bit. I completed my card with some white Nuvo drops, some snowflake sequins and a big bow. I adore how this turned out!!

Copic Colors used:

--Snowman: BG000, YR18, R000, R00, E27, E23--

Enjoy The Little Things

  Hi everyone!

 I'm so excited to be back as a guest designer for

  Gerda Steiner Designs!!

 Today I am sharing a card that I made using an adorable stamp set called

Pool Piggies.

There are 8 super fun images in the Pool Piggies stamp set, along with 1 sentiment. 

All of the little piggies are adorable, but I was drawn to this one reading his book. I love to go to the beach and get lost in a good book so he definitely called to me lol!

I started my A2 card by adding 2 different patterned papers to the front. I added a strip of yellow to help divide the patterns a little. Next, I die cut a large tag from some blue patterned paper and created a little beach scene by adding a small amount of white cardstock to act as the sea foam along with some Kraft cardstock to act as the sand. I die cut a palm tree and added that to my tag as well. Next was the really fun part! I stamped that little Pool Piggie, and his beach towel, with some Memento Tuxedo black Ink and colored them in with my Copic markers. Once I had both images colored, I did a bit of fussy cutting and added them to my tag. I stamped a sentiment from the Hello Friend Tortoise stamp set with some Black Versafine Ink, trimmed it down and added it to my tag, tucking it under the palm just a bit. I added my tag to my card front and completed the look with some yellow twine, enamel shaped shells and some white Nuvo drops. 

 I think this turned out so cute!!

Copic Colors Used:

--Piggy: E50, R30, R32--

 Hi crafty friends!

Here is a look at the card that I created:

Isn't that little sloth so cute? I have had this stamp set in my stash for quite awhile now and never got around to using him until now. I thought he fit perfectly for the sketch as well as the color scheme that was needed.

 I started by building my card base with some papers from Lawn Fawn. I added a die cut circle, colored my images with Copics and created a little scene. I popped the sloth and one of the clouds up with foam tape for a little dimension. I added my sentiment under my die cut circle and completed my card with some white Nuvo Drops in the flower centers. Super easy! I love how bright and cheery it is!!

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:

Hi crafty friends!

I hope you are having a fabulous Friday and have lots of fun crafty plans for this upcoming weekend :) 

I wanted to pop in and share my latest Valentine card that I made with you guys. 

I started by die cutting a scallop rectangle from some patterned paper and adding a sheer white ribbon bow. I popped it up onto a white card base with some foam tape and started creating my heart. I used a foil plate from Trinity stamps and foiled my heart with some bright pink foil. Once it was foiled, I popped it onto my card front with more foam tape. I really liked it but thought it was missing something so I used a little bitty bear to up the cuteness factor a bit lol! I colored him with some Copic markers and stamped YOU inside his little heart before adding him the the card with more foam tape. So cute!!

This picture does not do this card justice at all. It is so shimmery with the bright pink foil.

I wanted to try and capture some of the shimmer.

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

You Gnome I Love You

Hi crafty friends!

Her images are so incredibly cute and I'm thrilled to get to work with them on a regular basis!!

Here is a look at what I created using the Heart Gnome digital stamp.

Cute right?

I created my card by first making an A2 cardbase from some white cardstock and layering a scallop rectangle on top. I printed out my Heart Gnome onto some white hammermill cardstock and colored him in with my Copic markers. Once I had him colored, I used my Scan N Cut to cut him out. I layered some white and pink patterned paper to my card front before adding him with foam tape. I added some thread to my sentiment and also popped that up with foam tape. I completed my card with some enamel hearts and some white Nuvo drops.

You Are My Heart

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.

The theme for #561 is polka dots!

This challenge is being sponsored by Polka Doodles! 

I also had the pleasure of getting to work with one of their images.

The image I was given to use is called Too Cute Turtle Love and here is a look at the card that I created:

 

This was so super simple to make. I printed out that adorable Too Cute Turtle Love image onto some white Hammermill paper and colored her in with my Copic markers. Once I had her colored, I fussy cut her out and set her aside while I worked on my card. I used a heart border punch to add some hearts along the edge of a piece of white cardstock and added some kraft cardstock on top.  I cut a piece of pink & white polka dotted patterned paper, added that to my Kraft and then adhered it all to a Kraft A2 cardbase.  I added my sentiment and popped up my turtle with foam tape to my card front. I completed my card by adding some enamel hearts, a fun little bow for her head & rounding one of the bottom corners.

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??

Better Together

 Hi crafty friends!

I hope your day is going splendidly so far 💕

Today I popping in to share a card that I made for the new challenge that started over at the

 All Dressed Up Challenge Blog. 

They are always anything goes as long as you use a All Dressed Up image.

I wanted to create a little Valentine card so I picked the

Love Is image to color and create with this month.

Aren't they sweet?

I thought it would be fun to try and mimic a Polaroid style photo. I printed out my image and colored it in with my Copic markers. I also added some very light clouds in the background but they are so light that my camera isn't really picking them up :( Once I had my image colored, I cut it out to create a square. I took a dark gray marker to go along the perimeter so that I stood out a bit once it was added to the white "frame". I stamped my greeting, tied some twine and popped it up onto my card base with some foam tape. I finished my card by adding some little hearts that I punched out with some heart punches. 

Copic Markers Used:

--Girl--

*Skin: E50, E51, E21, R20

Snow Much Fun with Cupcake Inspirations

 Hi crafty friends!!

Happy 2023!!

I honestly can't believe we are a week into a new year!

One great thing about the start of this new year is that I am happy to announce that I am a new design team member for Cupcake Inspirations Challenges!

I have loved the Cupcake Inspirations challenge blog for quite awhile now and am thrilled to be a Sweetie! 🧁 

Here is a look at the inspiration cupcake for the first challenge of 2023 (CIC #560)

and here is what I was inspired to make:

I had so much fun making this card!

I created an A2 card base from some white card stock and covered it with a piece of tiny polka dotted patterned paper. I stamped out my images from the Ready Set Snow stamp set from MFT using some Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them in with my Copic markers. Once I had them colored, I used my Scan N Cut to cut them out & set them aside. I used a scallop rectangle die to cut a piece of blue patterned paper & a piece of white cardstock. I cut some hills out of the white scallop rectangle that I cut out, stamped my greeting and layered my hills onto my blue background. I then added my images, tucking the houses and trees behind the hills and popping the snowboarders up with foam tape. I splattered some acrylic paint to create some snow and wrapped some sheer ribbon around the top before popping my image panel up with foam tape to my card front. I think this turned out so incredibly cute!!

Copic Colors Used:

--Polar Bear: C6, C1, C0, C00, R00, BG45, BG53, B00, B000--

I love this image called Snowy Days from All Dressed Up. I printed it out onto some white cardstock and colored it in with my Copic markers. Once I had it colored, I die cut it out using a Scalloped Frame die from My Favorite Things. I decided to print out the image again so that I could fussy cut the mitten and stocking and pop them up with some foam tape for a little dimension. I added my greeting to the top corner & tied some twine around the bottom with some bells before popping my image panel up onto a white card base with foam tape. I added some snowflake sequin pieces as well as some white Nuvo drops to complete my card.
