Armadillo Birthday!

Howdy Ai Fans!

How are ya'll doing? It's the second week of our Challenge called " Southern Style". Ai just launched a southern inspired Texas Zoo Crew and the Design Team is showcasing projects using this new line.

I'm using the new stamp set called "Armadillo"(sku#4685). Aren't they just the sweetest little creatures?! I've never seen one in person, we don't have these here in Canada so I'm not sure if they are really "Cute" or not LOL. I made an easel card today to show off this new set. I choose papers from the American Crafts "Color Crush" 6x6 collection. I used 2 flower brads to help the easel card stay in place when propped up.

The nice thing with Easel cards is that they lay flat for easy mailing.

Copics Used:

Shell: BG90, BG93, BG96

Body: W0, W1, W3

Presents: R20, R22, R24, YR21, YR24

Ribbon: G40, G43, G45

Let's see your southern inspired creations ya'll! Go get crafty and link up your Southern inspired projects for our current Challenge for a chance to win!

Happy Stamping Ya'll!

Here's my High Hopes Card:

Don't you just love this set called "Snowman Mini Set"! Who doesn't love snowmen and these little guys are super cute! The set comes with 3 images, 2 frame stamps and a sentiment. I love using non-traditional colours on Christmas cards for a nice change!

Aging Is Mandatory!

Hi Everyone!

WOW...the last Saturday of August post over at One Crazy Stamper! Where did August go?? Today I am sharing with you a cute interactive swing card using the Art Impressions stamp set called "Maturing set". I love this set and it would also make a perfect card to give as a group to someone!

I made this swing card with my Silhouette machine and then added the images to the base. This stamp set is perfect for anyone who loves to colour! There is a lot of detail to it and I find it super relaxing when I can just sit and colour!

I am using paper from the Simple Stories "So Rad" collection. I also cut out some balloons and popped up two of them. I attached them to the sentiment that comes in the set with some twine.

The Maturing set  comes with the front and back images and there is a matching die set that makes it super easy to match up your images perfectly!

I used a black gel pen on their eyes and buttons and Crystal Stickles on the balloons.

Copics Used:

E00, E08, E11, E15, E43, E44

R20, RV17

Y21, Y23, Y26

B32, B34, B37, B39, BG10, BG11, BG32

YR12, YR15, YR18

G43, G82, G85

C0, C1, C3

W1, W3, W5, W7

Happy Crafting!
