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. 

Copic Colors Used:

--Dk. Brown Bear: E31, E33, E35, E37, R20, R00--

--Lt. Brown Bear: E40, E41, E43, E44, R20, R00--

--Tuesday Morning Sketches #603--

Here is a look at the card that I created:

I received this stamp for my birthday earlier this month and was so excited to use it! I've been wanting it for awhile now lol! Anywho, I stamped the books and then masked them so that I could stamp the chair behind them. I used my Scan N Cut to cut out my image and then I colored everything in with my Copic Markers. I stamped my greeting with some VersaMark ink and then heat embossed with some white embossing powder. I popped up my image with some foam tape and added a couple of puffy heart stickers (left over from Valentine's), added some blue baubles to the top right corner and called this card done. I adore how it turned out and how cute would this be for an Anniversary card? I love it!!

Hi There!

Hey guys! 

I normally try to not post twice in one day but I was able to get a card done just in time for the sketch challenge over at Tuesday Morning Sketches #389 so I figured I better link it up before I forgot lol!

Here is a look at their sketch:

(Tuesday Morning Sketch #389)

and here is the card I created based on the above sketch:

I bought this stamp a few months ago and this sketch was the perfect time to get it ink-y! I colored her in with my Copic markers and used a cross-stitch die to cut her out. I matted it onto some Kraft cardstock, stamped my greeting in the top corner and wrapped some Strawberry Cupcake Trendy Twine around the bottom. I popped it up with some foam tape onto some pretty floral cardstock and attached it all to a Kraft card base. I finished it off with a few enamel dots. I think it came out super cute and it looks so much better in person. I was losing sunlight at the time I took the picture :( 

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

I really appreciate it!

I hope you have a great crafty day!

Here is a look at the card that I created:

My darling daughter bought me the Page Huggers stamp and Die set from Mama Elephant for Christmas and I thought this sweet little mouse was perfect for the card I wanted to create. I stamped my mouse and envelope and did some really simple Copic coloring. I used the coordinating dies to cut it out and placed it on my "postage" stamp with some foam tape. I added my greeting and then popped it up onto my card front with more foam tape. I finished off my card with some little heart puffy stickers that I found in the Target Dollar Spot and a little pink bow for my mouse. I think this little mouse is absolutely adorable!

Any fun plans for the weekend? I'm feeling a bit under the weather (just a small cold) so I plan on staying in and crafting the weekend away lol! I was looking at some challenge sites last night and came across this great sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches.

Here is a look at their sketch:

Tuesday Morning Sketch #386

Here is a look at the card I created based on the above sketch:

My bestie sent my this sweet little stamp as a Christmas gift this past Christmas and I have been itching to get her inky! I stamped her out onto some Copic paper and colored her in. I used a postage frame die to cut her out and popped it up with some foam tape. The XOXO is a die that I cut out and simply glued onto a strip of black cardstock. I put some Clear Wink of Stella on my image for a little sparkle. Every girl needs a dress that sparkles right??
