Hello Sweet Friend!

 Hi everyone and happy Saturday!

Today marks the midway point in the challenge for the

Penny Black Saturday Challenge Blog!

The challenge theme for June is

Anything Goes with the option of Fussy & Fancy.

Here is a look at the card that I created:

I kept my card pretty simple since my stamp is on the larger side plus it is so adorable that I really wanted to keep the focus on the image. I used the Sweet Day stamp from Penny Black and colored in my image with Copic Markers. I added a very simple background by adding some grass and lightly coloring in the background to mimic a sky. I stamped my greeting into the bottom corner and then adhered my image panel to my card base. To finish my card, I used a couple of stitched rectangle dies to create a frame and cut them out many times in white and once in red patterned paper. I adhered them all together to add some dimension, added some thin red thread and glued it onto my card front. 

So simple but I'm very pleased with it :)

Sweet Birthday Wishes

Hi everyone and happy Saturday!

I'm so excited to be a guest designer for the 

Penny Black Saturday Challenge Blog!!

The theme for the month of June is:

"Anything Goes"

or

"Fussy & Fancy"

Here is a look at the card that I created:

I have had this stamp set called "Lolly" in my stash for a few months now and never used her until now! I finally got her inky...Yay!! I'm not sure why but she reminds me a tiny bit of those older Holly Hobbie characters so I thought it would be fun to try and make a card with a touch of country charm. I picked out some patterned papers that I thought would work and die cut them out with a Scallop Rectangle. I used a eyelet border punch for my Red paper and added that to my patterned paper piece. I added some hemp cording, inked around all the paper edges and popped up my panel with foam tape onto my blue cardbase. I colored that adorable image with my Copic markers & die cut her out using a stitched Oval die. I didn't have a scalloped Oval die that would line up properly so I used a circle hole punch. I punched out a bunch of circles from the blue cardstock and glued them to the backside of my oval piece to create a Scallop frame. I added some glitter to my lollipop and some little red adhesive pearls to the top corner. I stamped my sentiment, attached it to my twine with a big bow and called my card done! I think it turned out so cute!! 

Copic Colors Used:

Rain Or Shine

Hi everyone and happy happy Friday!!

Any fun plans this weekend? I hope to be able to get outside and get some plants in the ground. I'm ready for some pretty colors in the form of flowers outside lol!

I was able to get a card made today that I will be entering into a few challenges.

Here is a look at my card:

I started by using a sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches (sketch and link below) to create my cardbase. I love using sketches to get the creative sparks flying! Anywho, I chose some coordinating papers and then colored those sweet bears from Penny Black with my Copic Markers to match. Once I had them colored, I used my Scan N Cut to cut it out and popped it up onto my card with some foam tape. I stamped my sentiment, flagged one end and used more foam tape to pop it up. I completed my card with a little bow in the girl bears hair and some glossy accents on the umbrella handle. This card is going to my hubby so I kept it fairly simple and didn't add a lot of bling or embellishments.

I love making cards for my hubby, no occasion needed, and sneaking them into his lunchbox or truck for him to find.

Love You Slimline Card

 Hi everyone and happy happy Friday!!

Today I have a simple slimline style Valentine to share with you that 

I created with a few challenges in mind. 

The challenges that I will be playing along with are:

--Dies R Us: Anything Goes with Dies--

--Penny Black Saturday Challenge: Anything Goes --

&

--Freshly Made Sketches: #467--

Here is a look at the card that I created:

I told ya it was simple lol! Sorry for the picture, I wish it was a bit better but it is really overcast in my area and this was the best I could get.

I started by creating a Slimline card base from some red cardstock. I used the Large Slimline with Sliders Die from Lawn Fawn to cut out a piece of red patterned paper to cover the front of my card. I used the same die set to cut out my white layer, stamping the sentiment from Concord & 9th with some Versafine Black Onyx Ink towards the bottom. I wrapped some crochet thread around, tied it with a bow and popped up my panel with foam tape onto the front of the card. I stamped that adorable little girl from the XOXO stamp from Penny Black with some Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored her with my Copic markers. I fussy cut her out and then popped her up with more foam tape for even more dimension. I completed my card with a small heart, some white Nuvo drops and some doodling with a black pen. So cute!
