Joyful Wishes!

 Hi everyone!

I hope your day is off to a great start!

I wanted to pop in real quick and share a card that I created to play along with a couple of challenges.

The challenges that I am playing along with are:

**The Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog #62 Anything Christmas Goes**

&

**BYSH Cardmakers: Sketch #57**

Here is a look at the card that I created:

I thought this sketch was so neat and could not wait to give it a try. I started by creating my cardbase from some red cardstock and then layering a piece of Kraft cardstock on top. I took some scrap pieces of patterned paper that I had leftover from a patterned paper pad and cut them down to the small squares and layered them onto my Kraft piece, lining them up as straight and evenly as possible.  This adorable little deer from Unity Stamps was the perfect fit! I stamped her onto a piece of white cardstock and colored the image with my Copic markers. I added some doodling around all my squares, and my kraft layer and then added a small little red bow to her antler. I finished my card by adding my sentiment, trimming it down to size and popping it up with some foam tape. 

I think this turned out so cute!! 

Copics Used:

Browns: E31, E33, E35, E37

Reds: R27, R29, R59

Ghostly Halloween

Hi everyone!

I hope your day is off to a great start!

I wanted to pop in real quick and share another Halloween card that I made.

I used this super cute stamp from Unity and stamped it onto a piece of white Hammermill cardstock and did some pretty simple Copic Coloring. I took a piece of striped patterned paper, trimmed it down, and used a circle die to create an opening in the bottom corner. I adhered it to my white cardstock, making sure the image showed in the opening. I die cut a piece of black glitter paper, nesting two circle dies together to create a frame, trimmed it down and added that between my patterned paper and my ghost. 

I added some paper strips to the top, along with a crochet thread bow, and popped it up onto a black card base with foam tape. I added my sentiment, a few glittery die cut bats and some doodling to complete my card.

I think that little ghost is so incredibly cute!

Copic Colors Used:

--Ghost: C00, C0--

Shopping Our Stash #290

Hey everyone and happy Valentine's Day!!

It's time for a new challenge over at 

Shopping Our Stash!

This week challenge #290 is....

Heartless

(Romantic project without using any hearts)

Here is what I created:

I have had this stamp in my stash for about 5 years now and it's been about that long since I used it last. As soon as I saw what the challenge was my mind immediately went to this stamp. I stamped it out onto white and onto a bunch of different patterned papers so that I could paper piece it so that their clothes and umbrella could have some fun patterns :) I used some stitched ovals to cut it out and popped it up onto another oval. I finished off my card with a fun scalloped edge and some pretty sheer ribbon. 

Neglected items from my stash:

--Patterned Paper; I used all scraps

--Stamp: Haven't used it in five years

Be sure to stop by the Shopping Our Stash challenge blog to see the amazing creations my design team sisters created. I hope you will decide to play along with us, I would love to see what you create.

Craft Rocket #31 Add A Bow

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!

Happy New Year's Eve!!!

I hope you all had an amazing holiday and got to spend it with the people that you love.

Today I have a super fun little card to show you using one of the

I wanted to make a super simple card that would be perfect to send to someone that may be feeling the winter blues. I think this fun, little quirky snowman with twigs for hair is just the cutest and would hopefully bring a smile to someone's face. I can totally see my kids making a snowman like this! haha! I love it!!

Happy Wednesday!

Today I would like to share a card with you

that I made for the Unity Stamp Co. Challenge.

The challenge this month is to make a card using Unity/Ippity stamps

and it must have an opening/flap/window of some sort.

This is the card that I created for the challenge:

and the card opened:

 

I kept my card pretty simple so that the focus stayed on the colored butterfly.

I just made a circle in the bottom of the card with my circle punch and then stamped the butterfly above it and the sentiment beside it. I then stamped the butterflies again and colored one and used my scissors to cut it out and pop it up to where it peeked through the window.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today and taking a look at my latest creation!

I really appreciate it!

Have a great crafty day!
