Just Because......

Howdy All!

Now I am a big dog fan but when I saw this adorable Kitty stamp I just knew it would make an adorable card! Meet "Kitty's Flutter Friends" from High Hopes Stamps! My Girlfriends just got a new Kitten named Willow and oh my she is just adorable!

Of course the paper from Doodlebugs Kitten Smitten 6x6 collection was perfect for this cutie! I stamped my image and then masked it off. Using Distress Oxide ink in Salty Ocean and a cloud border stencil I created the sky background. I did also use Distress ink(Mowed Lawn) on the grass but wasn't happy with it, so I added a bunch of grass on top with my Copic markers. The "Just Because" is also a HH sentiment!

Milo!

Hello DDS Fans!

Today is so exciting!!!! It's Release day over at Digi Doodle Studios! Dina has done it again with this Release called "Boy Crazy"!  Yippee...... some boys to go with all our adorable girls! Please let me introduce you to "Milo"! He's so cute I just want to hug him!! Don't those glasses just make him super cute!

I decided to use paper from the Echo Park Blowing Kisses 6x6 collection. Milo is just perfect for Valentine's Day but I think he also could be used for any occasion! It's hard to see in my picture but all the hearts have some Spectrum Noir Glitter Pen added to them. I also added glossy accents to his glasses so they have a real look to them.

I decorated the inside and am waiting to add a sentiment when I figure out who is going to receive this card from me! Sometimes it's nice to personalize the sentiment to the person!

Copics Used:

Skin: E00, E21, E95, R20

Hair: E43, E47, E49

Bon Voyage!

Hello Ai Fans!

Oh how I wish this was my Hubby and myself heading somewhere sunny!! I have to admit, Winter is not my favourite season LOL! This is the super cute "Pack Your Bags" set from Art Impression!

I decided that papers from the Echo Park "Go See & Explore" 6x6 collection were perfect for this travelling pair! After I coloured the images with my Copic markers, I cut them out with my Brother Cut N Scan. I popped them up with some foam squares and added a sentiment from the set to finish off my card!

Here's the inside with another sentiment from the "Pack Your Bags" set.

Of course I just had to make another card using the lady and suitcase image. The set comes with 9 different sized images and 6 sentiments! Think of all the combinations you can create with!

Sorry I Missed It!

Hi HH & OCS Fans!

I'm just popping in to share another adorable image from High Hopes Stamps! This is "Beary Sweet Sign"! Isn't he just the sweetest bear ever!!!! The stamp comes blank which is awesome as you can add a sentiment for any occasion. How versatile and what great value! I love when you can use a stamp for multiple reasons!

No matter how organized I am, I always seem to miss someone's Birthday along the way! I made this card to have on hand for such an occasion! I'm using papers from my stash this time (a New Year's Resolution LOL). A simple layout and design but cute none the less! The sentiment is from HH called "Sorry I Missed It".

On the inside I used the High Hopes sentiment "Belated Birthday".

Happy New Year!

Happy 2018!

Today starts the first day of the Monthly Challenge over at Digi Doodle Studios! The theme all month long is "January Blues"! All you have to do is use blue on your card! Easy right!! For my Challenge card I am using the digital image called "Selena" from the "Masquerade Ball" Collection! I wonder if "Selena" celebrated New Years Eve on this moon? LOL!

In sticking with the "January Blues" theme, I coloured up my image using my Copic Sketch markers using a blue and yellow theme. I cut my image with a MFT Oval die and added Spectrum Noir glitter pen to the balloon and confetti. The ruffle on Selena's skirt has some Diamond Stickles added for a fun element. A few coordinating enamel dots finished off my card.

Happy New Year!

Wow it's 2018 and I wish everyone the best year ever! Today also starts the beginning of a New Challenge over at High Hopes and One Crazy Stamper! The Theme is "Anything Goes" but with a twist..... use blue or purple and a ribbon or button. Of course I had to do all 4 LOL! This is "Possum Pals" and I pictured them as 2 Besties having a bit of gossip time!

I am using papers from the Doodlebug Fairy Tales 6x6 collection. I fussy cut the image and then popped it up on top of the oval die cut for dimension. I also used the HH sentiment called "Girl Talk", cutting it in half and mounting the words separate. Of course the ribbon and bow finish it all off!

The "Missing You" sentiment is also from High Hopes!

Day 10 of the 12 Days of Christmas!

Hi DDS Fans!

It's day 3 of the the 12 Days of Christmas over at Digi Doodle Studios! Dina has a fabulous sale going on right now!

Digi Doodle Studios

Today I want to share a cute little tree ornament I made using the Digi Doodle Studios "Ella Eve Home For the Holidays" digital stamp! The great thing with digital stamps is that you can size them to whatever your project requires. By shrinking my image I could fit Ella onto this 3.75" cardboard ornament.

I inked all the edges of my digital papers form the DDS "Christmas Eve Digital Background papers" with Distress ink in Vintage Photo. I added Some Stampendous Spoonful of Snow and melted it with my heat gun for a glittery snow effect.

On the back side of the ornament I added a sentiment from the DDS"Season of Cheer Christmas Holiday" set. Some Liquid Appliqué for snow and a couple die cuts finish it off.

Copics Used:

Skin: E00, E11, E21, R20

This is my last post before the Holidays so I want to wish everyone a Very Merry Christmas, a Happy Holiday Season and all the best for the New Year and in 2018!

Sympathy Thoughts!

Hello!
It's never easy loosing a pet as they become such an important part of our Families! My Groomer recently had to put her dog down and I made her a Sympathy card.

This stamp is from Creative Visions and is called "Gone to Heaven". I thought papers from the Doodlebug "Puppy Love" was perfect to go with my card theme. Some twine and a wooden embellishment inked with Distress Ink finish off my card.

The "Gone to Heaven" set comes with the image and 3 sentiments.
