BFFs Forever!

Hi everyone!

I hope you are having a fabulous day and getting some crafty time in!

I wanted to pop in real quick and share a card that I made for my husband.

We recently celebrated our wedding anniversary and this is the card that I made for him:

As soon as I saw this stamp, I knew I had to have it in my life to make my hubby a card. 

His preferred method of travel is a Harley Davidson so I thought he would get a kick out of this haha!

I always struggle with masculine cards so I kept it pretty simple and kept the focus on the image and sentiment. I stamped my image onto a piece of white hammermill cardstock and colored it with my Copic markers. Once I had it colored, I used a stitched rectangle die to cut it out. I adhered it to some blue houndstooth patterned paper and then added it to my white A2 card base. I added some doodles around the perimeter for a little visual interest. I stamped my sentiment and used a stitched die to cut it out. I popped it up onto my card with foam tape and added a little red enamel heart to complete my card. So simple but I adore how it turned out!

Copics Used:

--Trike: R24, R27, R39, C1, C4, C6, C8, Y26--

Hello Fall

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

Make Your Mark simply means we want to see your coloring. You can use pens, pencils, markers, chalks, inks, etc. Easy right?

 Here is a look at what I created:

I am in Fall mode (it is my favorite season after all lol) so I decided to make another Fall themed card. This card was actually quite simple. I started by stamping that adorable little image from Stamping Bella onto a piece of white hammermill cardstock and coloring her with my Copic Markers. I inked around the perimeter of my image panel with some Vintage Photo Distress Ink before stamping "Fall"  above her with brown ink and adding some brown twine below her, tying it off in a bow. I popped up my image panel with some foam tape onto my card base that I covered with some patterned paper. I stamped "Hello" onto a piece of patterned paper, placed it above the "Fall" and tucked a few little die cut leaves under the bow to complete my card. Told ya it was simple :)

Somebunny Loves You

 Hi everyone and happy happy Wednesday!

I hope you are having a fabulous day!

 I was able to get in a bit of crafting. Yay! The weather is so beautiful in my area today that it definitely put me in a Spring type of mood, so I thought it would be fun to create a Easter card with a stamp that I recently got. 

I started my card by creating an A2 top folding card from some white cardstock and layering a piece of plaid patterned paper down the center. I pulled out a scallop border die and cut out two orange scallop edges to frame my plaid piece on the sides. I used a circle die to cut out two circles, one from blue patterned paper and one from green cardstock. I then used a grassy edge die on the green circle and heat embossed my sentiment with some white embossing powder before popping it up onto my blue circle with some foam tape.  Next, I stamped that sweet little bunny image using a stamp from Stamping Bella and colored it in with my Copic markers and cut it out using the coordinated die. I added some foam tape onto the back of my bunny and sandwiched her in-between my circle layers. I glued my circle piece onto the front of my card and finished it with some white Nuvo drops and of course a little pink bow in her hair. 

Isn't that little bunny adorable??

Copics Used:

--Carrot: YG03, YG25, YG17, YR02, YR04, YR18--

I have been having a lot of fun making Slimline style cards lately and was so excited to see the sketch from Sketch N Scrap. I started by creating a card base from some Kraft cardstock and then doodled around the perimeter with a black sharpie pen. I added some red gingham patterned paper along the bottom and then added my white scalloped rectangle layer on top. I stamped that adorable image from Stamping Bella with some Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it with my Copic markers. I used the coordinating die to cut it out and popped it up onto my card with some foam tape. I heat embossed my greeting onto a piece of black cardstock with some white embossing powder and added that to the bottom, making sure to tuck it slightly under my image. I completed my card wtih some white Nuvo drops and red enamel dots.

I just love those little chicks!!

Hi everyone and happy happy Monday!

Today starts a new challenge over at the Bitten By The Bug 2 Challenge Blog!

The theme for this challenge is...

Cute Critters

Let's see some Cricut themed projects the feature an adorable critter.

*Your project must include a Cricut cut on it somewhere*

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

I used a metal die from Jaded Blossom to create my shaped card base. I simply cut two scallop rectangles out from some Kraft cardstock, scored along the back piece to make opening easier and adhered them together above the score line. Once I had my base created, I layered some wood grain paper on top. I cut that adorable monkey from the Life's A Party Cricut Cartridge and added her to a circle that I cut out using a metal die. I popped up my circle piece to the front of my card with some foam tape and started working on my greeting. I thought this sentiment from Stamping Bella was perfect! I stamped it onto a piece of white cardstock with some brown ink and added some greenery behind it. I was going for a jungle look and while I don't think I really achieved what was in my brain, I'm happy with how it turned out. I added a few little white flowers and some white doodles with my white gel pen for a little bit more interest and gave her a little bow to complete my card. So cute!

This card was really simple to create. I started with a white A2 cardbase and added some pink patterned paper to the front. Next, I used a piece of scrap patterned paper from the same stack for a little bit of fun with the bright polka dots. I stamped my image from Stamping Bella onto a piece of white cardstock and colored her with my Copic markers. I used a cross stitch die to cut her out and placed her onto my card front. I finished my card with a sentiment that I poppped up with a bit of foam tape for just a bit of dimension and a little white enamel heart. 

I've been trying to mail out happy mail each week, especially during these difficult times, and I thought this image was perfect!

Congrats!

Hi everyone and happy August!

Today I have a sweet Congrats card to share with you that I made for my daughter.

My daughter is an RN and recently found out that she was nominated for a Daisy award! The Daisy Foundation celebrates nurses that provide extraordinary care and compassion. You can ready more about the Daisy Foundation by clicking this link, if you are interested. It goes without saying that I am one proud mama lol! This cute little image from Stamping Bella was perfect for me to create a Congrats card for her! 

I started by creating my card base from some white cardstock and using the Blueprints 27 die from MFT to cut out my two patterned papers. I pieced them together & stamped my Congrats along the bottom with some Versafine Black ink and added my patterned paper to my card base. I stamped out that adorable image from the Daisy Squidgy stamp set from Stamping Bella and colored her in with my Copic markers. I used my Scan N Cut to cut her out and popped her up onto a die cut circle. I then added my circle to the front of my card with some more foam tape for even more dimension. I completed my card with some white sequins and some yellow Nuvo drops. 

I think this turned out so incredibly cute and I know it will put a big smile on her face!

I will be entering my card into the following challenges:

I started by creating my card base from some white cardstock and covering it with some pink and white polka dot paper from Echo Park.

Fall Themed Dex Cards

Hi everyone!

I hope you are having a wonderful Saturday!

I wanted to pop in real quick and share a couple of Dex Cards that I created for a couple of swaps with some crafty friends. They received them yesterday so I can post and share without ruining the surprise for them now lol.

Here is a look at the card that I created for Dardie of Ant Doda's Crafty Corner.

Our theme was Fall Critters and this little stamp from Stamping Bella was perfect! I colored it with my Copic markers and used my Scan N Cut 2 to cut her out. I used my Memory Dex dies from Heidi Swapp to create my card base. I inked some clouds onto the background and free hand cut a tree and added some leaves from a Stamp Anniething Die. I added a hill that I created from the Border Dies 2 from Jaded Blossom as well as a fence from the Halloween Scenic Dies, also from Jaded Blossom. I popped up my image with some foam tape and stamped my greeting from Jaded Blossom's Scarecrow Kisses stamp set. I think it turned out so incredibly cute!!!

My second Dex card was made for Von Marie.

Our theme was Fall so I thought it would be fun to make a giant pumpkin. Nothing screams fall more than Pumpkins and leaves right?? I used the Heidi Swapp Dex Dies for my card base and the Pumpkin die from Mama Elephant. I added some leaves from Lawn Fawn and a green seam binding bow. I completed it with some Nuvo Drops and a greeting from my Creative Time. So cute!!

I'm having so much fun making these little dex cards!
