Tickled Pink!

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.

The challenges that I will be entering are:

--Crafting Happiness Challenges: #119 Anything Goes--

--Watercooler Wednesday: #332 All Things Feminine--

--Time Out Challenges: #205 In Love--

&

--The Card Concept #166--

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. 

**Copic Colors Used**

Snowman Friendship Card

 Hi crafty friends!

I hope the new year has been good to you so far!

Today I am sharing a sweet friendship card that I created using a new clear stamp set from

 Ink N Splatter titled, Snowbird Snowman.

How cute is that little snowman hanging out with his little birdie friend?? So cute!!

My card was pretty simple to make. I started with a white A2 card base and used a stitched rectangle die to cut out a piece of pretty blue patterned paper from the Twinkle Berry Winter 6x6 Paper Pad and adhered that to the front. I used the same stitched rectangle to cut a piece of light pink patterned paper, also from the Twinkle Berry Winter Paper Pad, trimmed it down and added that on top of the blue. I die cut some scallops from some white cardstock using a die from Jaded Blossom and placed them above and below my pink panel. I stamped that adorable little snowman from the Snowbird Snowman stamp set and colored him with my Copic markers. Once I had him colored, I used the coordinating craft die to cut him out. I stamped my greeting onto a piece of white cardstock, used a label die to cut it out and  popped up my greeting and snowman with some foam tape. I added a few snowflakes, some white Nuvo drops and some white doodles to complete my card.

Copic Colors Used:

--Bird & Blanket: R83, R85, B91, B93, R20, YR14--

--Snowman: YR14, B0000, B000, R00, R20--

--Hat/Mittens/Shoes: C4, C6, C8, 100, G82, R89--

--Scarf: B12, B32, B23--

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--

Comfort and Joy

Hi crafty friends!

I hope you are all having a fabulous day!

Today I am sharing a sweet Christmas card that I created using a new clear stamp set from

 Ink N Splatter titled, Santa's Treats.

Santa sure looks comfy doesn't he? 

I created my card by creating a card base from some Kraft cardstock and then covering the front with a piece of red patterned paper from the Gentle Winter 6x6 Paper Pad. I die cut another piece of Kraft cardstock out using a scallop die, placed it on my card and then layered a strip of white and green patterned paper from the Christmas Holidays 6x6 Paper Pad along the bottom. I stamped that adorable Santa from the Santa's Treats Clear Stamp set and colored him with my Copic markers. Once I had him colored, I used the coordinating die to cut him out. I thought it would be fun to paper piece his blanket so I used more of the white and green patterned paper and added some shading & definition with some green copics. I stamped my greeting, die cut it out and adhered it to a piece of red cardstock. I added some red satin ribbon to a piece of white cardstock, adhered it to my card front and popped up my Santa and sentiment with some foam tape. I completed my card with a little bit of white stickles to his hat and whipped cream and some white doodles with my gel pen. So cute!!! It is really sunny in my area today so my ribbon is photographing a lot brighter than it really is. It is actually more along the shade of the sentiment banner. Sorry about that. 

Copic Colors Used:

--Skin: E000, E00, E11, R20--

--Hair: C00, C0, C2--

--Boots/Belt: C4, C6--

Sending Christmas Cheer

Hi friends!

I hope you are having a fabulous day!

Today starts a new challenge over at the

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

Here is a look at the card that I created:

I got this adorable little truck from Spellbinders a couple of months ago and I have been itching to use it! I'm not sure what it is about the red trucks and the holidays but I'm a bit obsessed lol! I started by covering my cardbase with some plaid patterned paper and adding a strip of green cardstock to the center. I die cut a white stitched panel and stamped my greeing with some Versafine ink and added it to my card front. I built my truck and popped it up with foam tape to the card and added some glossy accents to the tree ornaments, headlight and bumper. I also added some black enamel dots to act as the tire rims. I finished my card by adding some doodling with a black Micron pen. Super duper easy!

I hope you will stop by the Addicted To Stamps & More challenge blog to see the fabulous cards the team made as well as joining us and playing along! I would love to see what you create!
