Holy Mackerel!

 Hi everyone and happy Tuesday!

It's my day to post over on the Jaded Blossom Blog 

and I am running a bit low on birthday cards, so I decided to make one to add to my stash.

Here is a look at the card that I created:

I started by creating a card base from some blue cardstock and layering a white mat that I cut out using the Rectangle Strip Card Mat Die on top. I used the Rectangle Strip Card Mat Die twice more to cut out some patterned paper strips that I could inlay into the rectangle openings. I used the Ticket Book Die to create a "frame", adding my sentiment from the Fish On stamp set to the bottom before adhering it to my card front. I built that adorable little gnome using the Gnome Dies, Gnome Dies: Gnome Face Add Ons 1, Gnome Dies: Girl Gnome Face Add Ons & Gnome Dies: Fishing Add Ons and added him above my sentiment.

Fun right?

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today and taking a look at my latest creation!
I really appreciate it!
I hope you have a great crafty day!

My Favorite Chick

Hi everyone!

I hope you are having a blessed and happy Easter!

Today I wanted to pop in real quick and share a fun slimline card that I made with a slimline stamp from Trinity Stamps.

How fun are all these little Slimline Chicks??

I kept my card pretty simple. I stamped my image onto a piece of white hammermill paper and colored it using my Copic markers.  Once I had all the chicks colored, I matted my image onto a piece of white cardstock and then layered that onto a lacy edged slimline die. I added my sentiment, along with a little bow and popped my image panel up onto a yellow card base with foam tape. So super cute!

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--

--Penguin: N5, N3, N2, N0, R20, YR12, R85, R81, B000--

--Trees: YG17, YG03, E23--

--Houses: E49, E23, E21--

I would also like to enter my card into the following challenges:

--Crafty Calendar Challenge: January 2023 Add A Sentiment--

&

--Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Something New--

(my new was the stamp set & paper pad)

 Hi everyone and happy Friday!!

I hope you have some fun crafty plans for the weekend. We have been having some cold and icky weather in my area so I will be staying indoors for sure and hopefully getting some crafting done. I was able to actually make a card yesterday with a few challenges in mind.

The challenges that I will be entering are:

--Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes--

--Crafty Sentiments: Jan. 26 Anything Goes--

--STAMPlorations January Stencil Challenge--

and

--MFT Stamps Wednesday Sketch Challenge #526--

Here is a look at the card that I created:

I had so much fun making this! I started by stamping that adorable little chemist onto a piece of white Hammermill paper. I used some masking paper to mask him off and used an Oval Stencil to create a little frame in gray around him. I liked it but thought it needed a bit more so while everything was still masked off, I added a brick stencil on top of the oval stencil and used some more of the same gray ink to create my wall & added inked a strip of gray along the bottom to act as the floor. Once I was happy with that, I removed the stencils and the masking paper and colored my Chemist with some Copic markers. I used a Dotted Die to cut out my image and then popped it up with some foam tape onto a piece of gray cardstock. I heat embossed my sentiment onto a piece of black cardstock and used more foam tape to pop it up. I completed my card by adding some doodling around the perimeter with a black sharpie pen and some green Nuvo drops. I just think this turned out so cute!

Copic Colors:

--Skin: E50, E51, E21, R00, R20--

--Hair: E23, E25, E29--

--Potions: BG0000, YG01, YG03, YG05--

Hi everyone!

I hope your day is off to a great start!

Today I have a super fun card to share with you, fun in my opinion at least lol.

Tina from Toadally Love To Craft hosted a live color along in the Paper Nest Dolls FB Group last Saturday night and this wizard from Paper Nest Dolls was the fun image we were coloring.  I had a lot of fun coloring him but he sat on my desk for a couple of days while I decided what to do with him lol! I thought it would be fun to make a little card for my hubby with him. I cut my white cardstock down and used some distress oxide inks to sponge all around the outer edges to achieve a focal point. I stamped my sentiment along the bottom edge and then went over the lines shooting from his wand with a gold gel pen. I used an old paper punch to create that border from some burgundy paper and adhered it to the back of my image panel. I popped all that up onto a black card base with some foam tape for some dimension and then added some shiny star confetti and gold and white Nuvo drops to complete my card. 

I will be entering my card into the following challenges:

--Lil Patch Of Crafty Friends #131 Anything Goes--

I thought it would be fun to make a "country/farmhouse" feel kind of card using those adorable little mushrooms from the Mushroom In My Heart stamp set. I just think they are the cutest!! I started by creating my card base from some red cardstock. Next, I used the Card Mat Dies as well as the Border Dies to create my patterned paper layer. I wrapped some crochet thread around, tied a bow and popped up the panel onto my card base with some foam tape. I die cut a circle using the Stitched Circle Dies twice and used the Mushroom Dies to cut my grass edge from the green circle. I heat embossed my greeting from the Mushroom In My Heart stamp set with white embossing powder and added those cute little mushrooms. I popped up my circle piece with more foam tape onto my card front. I completed my card with a heart from the Banner Dies and some little flowers from the Spring Dies.

Jaded Blossom's February Challenge!

Hi everyone!!

I hope you are all having a fabulous Sunday!

I can't believe it is already February! 

Today starts a new challenge over at the Jaded Blossom Blog!! Yay!!!

This month's challenge is a color challenge. 

--Use Pink, Gray and Black On Your Project--

Here is a look at what I created to share with you:

Every February, I make my hubby 14 days of Valentines. I typically leave them out as a little surprise for him to find before he leaves for work each morning. I thought it would be cute to pair up this little raccoon from the Birthday Bandit stamp set, along with the color challenge to create one of his Valentines. I used the Scallop Caddy Die to cut my box from some gray cardstock, cutting off the front flap just to give it a different look. I layered some fun pink patterned paper onto the inside back panel as well as the front. I stamped my greeting from the Birthday Bandit stamp set with some black ink onto some gray wood grain patterned paper and cut it out using the Heart Dies 2, popping it up with some foam tape. I colored that adorable little raccoon with my Copics, used my Scan n Cut 2 to cut it out and popped it up with some more of the foam tape. I used the Bow Dies and more of the gray wood grain paper to create a bow for the back of my box. I used the Banner Dies to cut out a couple of pink hearts to add to the box front as well as the bow center. I completed my project by adding a couple enamel hearts & dots as well as a little pink crochet thread bow to her hair.

I think it is so super cute!!

Jaded Blossom's January 2020 Release: Day 4!

Hey crafty friends!!

It's day 4 of the Jaded Blossom January Release and we are showing you a really cute stamp set called, 

We're Better Together.

Here is a look at what I created to share with you today:

I created this fun little gift by using the Gable Box Die and cutting it from some Kraft cardstock. I cut off the top flap on the front side to give it a bit of different look. I stamped that fun image from the We're Better Together stamp set, colored it with my Copics and popped it up with some foam tape onto the front of my box. I added a fun little red checked bow by using the Bow Dies and a little button for the center. I added it to the top and my gift was done. So simple and easy to do!!

I added some crinkle paper and some gummy candy that coordinated to the inside of my little treat box.

Here is a closer look at the set being showcased today:

Here is a look at what I created using some of the new products to share with you today:

As soon as I saw this fun sentiment in the NEW Soulmates stamp set, my mind went to socks.  Might have to do with the fact that my daughter has a slight obsession with fun socks haha! I thought this would be a cute way to create a little gift for her. I created my tag by using some gray and white cardstock and the Rounded Tag Die. I inked up the white layer with two shades of pink distress oxide ink and the Falling Hearts Stencil. I used more of the ink to color a section of white cardstock and then used the Heart Dies 2 to cut it out. I love when I can get everything to match up perfectly ;) I layered my heart onto another heart that I cut out using some gray cardstock and the Heart Dies 1. I stamped my sentiment from the Soulmates stamp set and used the Mini Tag Dies 3 to cut it out. I  added a couple of enamel hearts and tied the tag onto some fun socks using some pretty ribbon. 

Adorable!

Here is a look at what I created to share with you today:

I created a fun little birthday themed gift card holder using the Pocket Tag Die. I cut my tag from some blue cardstock and added a little plaid Ric Rac border to the pocket. I colored that cute little burger and fries from the NEW Kawaii Foods stamp set with my Copics and fussy cut it out leaving a thin white border. I stamped the sentiment from the NEW Franks A Lot stamp set with some black ink and used the Mini Tag Dies 3 to cut it out. I attached my sentiment to my tag and popped up my burger and fries with some foam tape. I completed the look with some clear glitter to act as salt on the fries, some ribbon and a couple of small enamel dots.

So super cute and fun! Perfect way to package a gift card to someone's favorite burger joint!
