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

Hi crafty friends!

I hope you are having a fabulous day so far!

The sun is shining bright and I'm enjoying looking out my window and listening to the birds chirp while I write this post. 

I wanted to pop in real quick and share a card that I was able to make yesterday, inspired by a few challenges. The challenges that I would like to play along with are:

--Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Add A Sentiment--

--Make My Monday: #221 Spring Flowers, Weather, Etc.--

&

--Atlantic Heart Sketch Challenge #568--

Here is a look at the card that I created:

I loved that sketch and this stamp set from Sunny Studio immediately came to mind when I saw it!

I started by creating a white A2 top folding card base and popping up a white scallop rectangle on top with foam tape. I cut some small strips of patterned paper and added them to my card front. I stamped my images using some black Memento ink and colored them with my Copic markers. I used the coordinating die to cut them out and popped them up onto my circle pieces. I stamped my greeting onto a piece of patterned paper and tucked it under my circle focal point. To finish my card, I used an older SU! punch to cut out my leafy "branch" and adhered that, being sure to tuck it behind the bee hive. 

Those little bees are just so cute!

Copic Colors Used:

--Beehive: Y18, Y19, Y26, E33, E35--

--Bees: Y11, Y13, Y15, C6, BG000, BG0000--

Sending Love Galentine

Hi everyone!

I hope your day is off to a wonderful start!

It's a bit chilly in my area, so I'm hunkered down in my home crafting. 

Sounds like a good day to me :) 

Today I am popping in to share a Galentine card that I made.

 I created my card based off of an older MFT sketch (posted below). I started by creating my A2 cardbase using white cardstock and covering it with some pretty floral paper from Crate Paper. I trimmed down another piece of the patterned paper in the collection to create my tag shape and added a little hole protector using a small scrap. I popped it up onto my card with foam tape and added some black crochet thread, tying it into a bow. I stamped one of the penguin images from Sunny Studio's Passionate Penguins stamp set, and colored it with my Copic markers. I fussy cut it out and popped it up onto my card with more foam tape. I added little bows to each penguin and placed the sentiment underneath the envelope. I finished off my card with some hearts and doodling. 

I think this turned out so adorable, I just adore these little penguins!

Copic Colors Used:

--Envelope: C00, C0--

--Penguins: C0, C1, C3, C4, C5, C6, YR24, R20, R00, R81, R85--

I would like to play along with the following challenges:

--Lil Patch Of Crafty Friends: #221 Anything Goes--

--The Crafter's Cafe: #303 Feminine--

Hi everyone and happy Thursday!

I hope you are having a fabulous day and were able to get some crafty time in!

I wanted to pop on here real quick and share a card that I made for a few challenges.

Here is a look at the card that I created:

My daughter recently got engaged and I wanted to make her a card to congratulate her.

I love the colors in the photo from The Card Concept and these little flamingos were just perfect for my card! I started by creating an A2 card base from some white cardstock and layering a light pink scallop rectangle on top. I cut some patterned paper, along with a small strip of black glitter paper, and added  that to my card front. I stamped my flamingos with some black ink and colored them with my Copic markers before running them through my Scan N Cut to cut them out. Once they were cut out, I glued them onto a light pink die cut heart and popped it up onto my card with some foam tape. I stamped the sentiment, notched each end and used more foam tape to adhere it to my card. I completed my card with some black enamel dots and a fun black and white polka dot bow.

Winter Wonderland Wishes

Hi friends!
Happy Happy 2022!!!!

I hope this new year brings you all health & happiness!!

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:

I loved all the snow in the inspiration photo so I decided to create my own little scene on a mini slimline style card. I even managed to use a couple of different stamp sets that I have had for awhile and never used! Yay me! One of my goals this year is to buy less and use more of what I have, or at least try to haha! 

I started my card by creating my mini slimline from some white cardstock and covering it with some diagonal striped patterned paper. I die cut a white scalloped rectangle and adhered that to my card front and added some snowy patterned paper on top. I stamped my little snowman, masked him off, and then stamped my background scene onto a piece of copic friendly cardstock. Once I had it colored, I stamped my greeting along the bottom and fussy cut around the trees and snow drift so that I could pop up my scene with some foam tape onto the front of the card. I completed my card by adding some Frosted Lace Stickles to the snow in front of the houses and a few random White Nuvo Drops to add a little more visual interest for the snowy scene.

Copic Colors Used:

--Trees: YG03, YG05, YG61, YG63, G94, G46, E25--

--Houses: E23, E25, E49, N3, N5, Y11--

Congrats On Your New Pad

Hi everyone!

I hope you are having a wonderful Saturday!

I wanted to share a card that I made for my daughter, who recently moved out and got her own place. I miss her so very much and my house is definitely different but I am so excited for her at the same time!

I created a little scene by creating some water using some Broken China Distress Oxide Inks and my sky using a cloud stencil and some Stormy Sky Distress Oxide Inks. I colored the lily pads, cattails and that adorable little frog with my Copic markers. I added my greeting onto a strip of white cardstock, notched one end and popped it up onto my card with some foam tape. I added a little pink crochet thread bow and added my image panel onto my card front. So super cute!! I know she will get a kick out of this when she receives it :) 

I will be entering my card into the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Create A Scene
