Happy Birthday Gnomie!

Hi crafty friends!

I hope you are having a fabulous day!

Today I am sharing a fun birthday themed card that I created using a clear stamp set from Ink N Splatter titled, Party Gnome Celebration.

Fun right? I started by creating my card base from some Cilantro green cardstock and adhered a piece of Blue Jay cardstock on top. I die cut a frame from some patterned paper using a metal die and placed it over my blue panel. I used my Cricut to cut out my sentiment and popped it up onto my card with some foam tape.  I colored that adorable little Party Gnome with my COPIC markers and used the coordinating die to cut him out & placed him on my card with more foam tape. I decided I wanted a few more balloons so I stamped the image again, used the dies and trimmed away the parts I didn't want with scissors and placed them on the opposite side of the card. I completed my card with a few sequins and Nuvo drops. Adorable! 

Copics Used:

**Skin: E000, E00**

**Hair: T0, T2, T4, T6**

**Outfit: B21, B24, B26, C00**

Warm Friendships

 Hi crafty friends!

I hope you are all doing well and staying nice and warm!

Today I am sharing a friendship themed card that I created using a new clear stamp set from Ink N Splatter titled, Winter Holiday Penguins.

For this card, I started with a white A2 cardbase and layered it with some plaid and some polka dot papers from the Winter Plaids & Patterns 6x6 Paper Pad. I die cut a circle from some white glitter cardstock & layered a white die cut circle on top. I cut off a piece to form a straight edge before adhering my circles to my card front. I colored those adorable penguins from the Winter Holidays Penguins stamp set with my Copic markers and used to coordinating dies to cut them out. I popped them up onto my circle with foam tape and added my sentiment underneath them with more foam tape. I die cut some large snowflakes from some of the white glitter cardstock and added some snowflake sequins and white Nuvo drops to finish my card. Aren't those little penguins the cutest? I think they are so adorable and my card is so sparkly in person. I'm sorry I couldn't capture that.

If Kisses Were Snowflakes...

Hi friends!
 Happy February!

I hope you are all doing well!

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:

 How cute is that little snowman! He just makes me smile so much! I was inspired by the pop of red against the snow in the inspiration photo and this card just fell into place. I started by using some glittery texture paste and a snowflake stencil to create some background paper. While that was drying, I stamped my little snowman and colored him with my Copic markers. I stamped my sentiment onto a smaller piece of cardstock and lightly inked around the perimeter with some Stormy Sky Distress Ink. I adhered it to a piece of red patterned paper, that I die cut out using a postage frame die. I wrapped some thread around, tying it off with a bow, and added it to my snowflake background. I did some more inking around the perimeter before adding the entire panel to a white card base. I completed my card by adding my little snowman along with some snowflake sequins and Nuvo drops. I think it turned out so cute!!

A Snowy Hello

 Hi crafty friends!

I hope you are all doing well and, if it's cold in your area, staying nice and warm!

Today I am sharing a super cute Hello friendship themed card that I created using a new clear stamp set from Ink N Splatter titled, Sporty Penguins.

I started by creating my card base from some white cardstock and then covering it with some fun patterned paper from Doodlebug Design. I used a scallop rectangle die to die cut my white glitter paper and attached it to the front of my card. To build my background scene, I used a stitched rectangle die to cut a piece of blue patterned paper from the Twinkle Berry Winter 6x6 paper pad to act as my sky and added a dark gray house, that I also die cut. I used some white cardstock and more stitched dies to create my snowy hills. I adhered one of the hills in front of the house, stamped my sentiment on the smaller hill and then popped it up with some foam tape. I colored those sweet little penguins from the Sporty Penguins stamp set with my copic markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. Once I had them cut out, I placed them onto my scene, added some light purple thread and added my scene panel to the white glitter scallop rectangle. I completed my card with some snowflake sequins and a few Nuvo drops. Don't they look like they are having fun? So cute!

 I had so much fun making this! I started by creating my card base from some Kraft cardstock and layering a piece of striped patterned paper on top. I die cut a blue circle along with a white circle and adhered them to my card front. I stamped my little viking onto a piece of white cardstock with some black memento ink and colored it with my Copic markers. I fussy cut him out and added him to my sentiment strip before popping it up onto my card with foam tape.
