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

*Hair: E21, E25

*Outfit: R81, R83, R85, R20, C00, C000

Sending Sunshine

Hi everyone!

I hope you are having a fabulous day!

Happy Fourth Of July to my friends in the States!

Today is my day to take over the Paper Nest Dolls blog and I created a bright and happy card to share with you today. 

To create my card, I started with a white card base and layered some striped patterned paper on top. I used a border punch to create a lacy edge to the sides of a white cardstock panel and trimmed down a piece of light blue paper to fit in the center. I stamped my greeting along the bottom, added some twine and then popped up my panel onto my card front with some foam tape. I printed out Sunshine Ellie from Paper Nest Dolls onto some cardstock, sizing her at 4", and colored her with my Copic markers. Once I had her colored, I used my Scan N Cut to cut her out and I popped her up onto my card with more foam tape. I completed my card with some faux stitching with my white gel pen and a few sequins for some sparkle.

I just thought this image was so cute! I love sending happy mail and I hope this brightens someone's day with a little bit of sunshine (in paper form of course lol).

Hello

Hey everyone! 

Tonight I am back with a really quick post to share a card that I created for the current color challenge that is going on over at Just Us Girls Challenges.

Here is the card that I was able to create for the challenge:

When I came across this patterned paper in my stash, I knew it would be perfect for this challenge! It was like it was screaming for me to play along lol! I kept my card pretty simple and cut out three pieces of the patterned paper. Two pieces were used as strips and the last piece was used for the scallop along the edge. I wrapped some white twine around, tied a bow and then popped that up onto my card base with some foam tape. I used a die from Pink & Main for my "Hello" and then used a white gel pen to draw some doodle lines along the sides and bottom. Pretty simple but I adore how it turned out! Best part is, there aren't a lot of embellishments so mailing this will be a piece of cake :) 

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by my blog and taking a look at my latest creation!

I really appreciate it!

I hope you have a great crafty day!

--Cardstock: Recollections

Sweet Dreams Baby Shaker Card

Hey everyone!! I hope you are having a fabulous Friday! 

 

Today I am here to share with you my latest creation using those awesome stamps and dies from Pink & Main!

My daughter's co-worker is expecting their first child pretty soon so I thought I would get a card ready to go for her to give to them. I thought the Sweet Dreams Baby stamp set and coordinating die was the perfect choice to use for my card! After I had the sweet little baby colored in and paper pieced, I used the die to cut him out. I stamped my greeting, also from the Sweet Dreams Baby stamp set, along the bottom and used a circle die so that I could make a window for my shaker. I attached some twine along the bottom and tied a bow with a button.  

I filled my shaker with some star confetti in silver and yellow as well as some clear microbeads.

Hey everyone!

I hope you are having a marvelous week so far!

Today I would like to show you a card that I made for the current challenge that is going on over at the Pretty Cute Stamps Blog where the challenge theme is Love. 

 I recently purchased the Game On stamp set with cards for my hubby and son in mind. I made the following card for my son to give to him on Valentine's Day.

For my card, I stamped the controller with some gray ink and the greeting in black. I used some circle dies to cut out my image as well as the red layer behind it. I found some fun gaming patterned paper and notched the ends and attached that to my card and ran some twine through the top. I finished off my card with a few enamel dots. Masculine cards are so hard for me but I think this sentiment is so funny, my son will definitely get a kick out of it!

Die Cuttin Divas Guest Diva

Hi everyone and Happy Tuesday!

Today I am excited to be a Guest Diva for Die Cuttin' Divas!

Challenge #240 is a sketch! 

I love sketches!!

Here is the sketch for this challenge:

And here is the card that I created based on the sketch:

I decided to make a tall card. I cut my cardstock 8"x 9" and then folded it in half so that it measures 4" x 9".  This actually fits in a business size envelope and I think the different size makes it fun. I found that super cute "Ho Ho Ho' from the Silhouette online store, design ID 100721. For the darker areas on my die cut, I simply colored them with a copic marker instead of cutting out different colors of cardstock. I added a bit of Wink of Stella Clear to the ornament tops as well as the white on the hat. I also added some red Trendy Twine and some faux stitching with my white gel pen. To finish off the card, I added a few sparkly enamel dots. Sorry the sparkle of the enamel dots and the shimmer from the Wink of Stella aren't showing up very well. It has been so gloomy in my area and could not seem to get a great picture of my card. 

I hope you will head over to Die Cuttin' Diva's and join in on the challenge!

That sketch was super fun!

Card Harmony -- Fintastic Friends

Happy happy Monday!!

I hope you all had a fabulous weekend!

Today Kimberly and I are back with another Card Harmony post.

Here is a link to my blog post last month that tells a little bit about what Card Harmony is all about. 

We basically take turns purchasing stamps each month and then we both make a card using the same stamp set to see how alike or different our cards turn out. We add a little twist each month though to make it a little more challenging. 

This month we are using the stamp set Fintastic Friends from Lawn Fawn, with the added twist of incorporating embossing (dry or wet) onto our project. 

Here is the card that I created:

For my card,  I wanted some bright colors so I used some patterned paper from the Take Note paper pad from Doodlebug and added a fun little border along the bottom of my card with a border punch and white card stock. I didn't have any orange twine, so I took some Totally White Trendy Twine and used the same orange Copic that I used for my fish to color the twine. I love how it matched perfectly! I added a white strip that I embossed using my swiss dots embossing folder and added that to the center of my card. I stamped my little scene onto some Neenah card stock and then colored the image with my Copics. I used a circle die from My Creative Time to cut out my image layer as well as a frame to go around it. I finished off my card by adding some small paper circles and adding glossy accents to them to give them the appearance of being enamel dots. For my greeting, I used some VersaMark ink and Hero Arts white embossing powder. I am so happy with the way my card turned out! I hope Kimberly likes it :) 

I am entering this card into the Lawnscaping Challenge: Embossing

Geek Is Chic!

Hi there and happy Friday!!

I'm so happy to announce that I am now a part of the Pink & Main DT family :) 

Today is my first official post and for my card I used one of the new stamp sets titled

Owl Nerds.

Owls have a special place in my heart and I just can't seem to get enough of them!

Especially the little cuties in the Owl Nerds set. They are all absolutely adorable!!

Here is a look at the card I created:

For my card, I stamped a few of the pencils, masking along the way to hide some behind each other to create a little pile and then colored them with my copics. After I stamped and colored the little owl, I fussy cut him out and perched him on top of the pencils. I added them to a die cut circle and popped it up with some foam adhesive to the front of my card.  I applied some Glossy Accents to the lenses to give the appearance of glass. For my greeting, I used some black embossing powder and heat embossed it. I finished off my card with some red Trendy Twine and a few enamel dots.

Trendy Twine Guest Designer Day 3

Happy Sunday and Happy Mother's Day to all of the Mom's out there!

I hope you are having a fabulous day!

Today I'm back for my last day as a guest designer for 

Trendy Twine!

I have had so much fun this weekend! 

A big Thank You to Lesley for allowing me to be a guest designer:) 

For my final project, I went with a Mother's Day theme in honor of today.

First up is my card:

I went with a 4x4 square card. I added a some patterned paper and a white doily edge and then wrapped some of that absolutely gorgeous Watermelon Taffy around and tied it off with a bow. I then popped up that layer onto my card base with some foam adhesive. I added my greeting, tucking the edges under the twine just a bit. I added a rose to the bottom corner and some bling along the edge. 

I thought it would be nice to also include some candy so I used the Candy Tin to make a little gift:

I wrapped some of the Watermelon Taffy Trendy Twine around the edge of my patterned paper and also added a fun little bow to my greeting. 

Here is a look at the card and the tin together:

Trendy Twine Guest Designer Day 2

Happy Saturday!

Today I am back with my second day for guest designing for Trendy Twine.

Yay!!

With summer approaching quickly, I thought it would be super fun to make a little 3D gift box and fill it with some items to make some S'mores. Whether it is for a camping trip or just a backyard BBQ, S'mores are delicious wherever you are right?? :)

I saw this box from SVG Cuts and fell in love! After I had my box all assembled, I added some Totally White Trendy Twine to my little banner going across the front of the camper and some Totally Pink Trendy Twine all the way around my lid, tied off with a bow. 

Of course, I couldn't just stop there. The goodies inside the box needed some wonderful Trendy Twine as well :) 

I wrapped the package of grahams and tied off the bag a marshmallows with some more of the Totally White and Totally Pink Trendy Twine.

Scrappy Moms Stamps April Release Project 2

Happy Wednesday!

Today I have another project to show you that features one of the new sets from 

Scrappy Moms Stamps!

For this project, I used another sentiment from the new set titled

Walking On Sunshine

I love this set so much that I can't seem to stay away from it haha!

Anywho, onto my card:

As soon as I saw this greeting, I immediately thought of birthday candles being blown out. This little girl doing just that from Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons was perfect! I added just a bit of patterned paper along one edge of the card and then stamped my greeting onto a piece of the blue textured cardstock and then just notched the end to make a little banner and adhered to the card front. I also added some Liquid Applique to the cake to give the look of frosting and added some yellow stickles to the candle flames. Easy peasy but oh so cute!

Here is another look at the sets being released this month:

BBTB2 -- Outlook:Partly Cloudy

It's Monday which means it is time for another great challenge over at the

Bitten By The Bug 2 Challenge Blog!

This theme for this week is:

Partly Cloudy, use a sun and a cloud on your project.

I had a lot of fun with this one and ended up using three different cartridges!

Here is a look at my card:

I decided to make a tall and skinny card, (this one measures 3.5" x 8" folded) to take advantage of getting the most out of that super cute title from the The First Few Years Cricut cartridge. My clouds came from the Bits & Pieces cartridge and that cool little sun is from the Simply Charmed cartridge. I added a bit of faux stitching with my white gel pen around the perimeter of the card and embossed one of the clouds with the Swiss Dots embossing folder. I finished off my card by adding some Totally White Trendy Twine around the top off the card and tying it off into a bow. This will fit into a business size envelope and it isn't too bulky so it will make mailing pretty easy :)

Valentine Love You Card

Happy Wednesday!

Today I have a card to show you that I made for a couple of different challenges.

I decided to make a Love You card. I love making these types of cards! Not only for Valentine's Day, but I love being able to leave my hubby cards for him to find any time of the year.

For my card, I decided to use of some of the chalkboard paper that I seem to be hoarding lol! I ran it through a die from MCT to get the stitched edges and then used a border punch on a strip of red paper and attached it to my chalkboard layer. I wrapped some Totally Red Trendy Twine around a few times and tied a bow. I then attached that entire layer (offsetting it a little) to my card base with some foam adhesive. For my phrase, I cut out the "I Love You" from the Lyrical Letters Cricut Cartridge. I placed some of the little hearts that got punched out onto the card front and then added some Wink Of Stella Clear Glitter to all the red hearts and then added some glossy accents to the top to really make that shimmer pop. I love the way they turned out! They almost look like those little red hot heart candies. :) 

The challenges I am entering my card into are:
