Love Bears!

Howdy Ai Fans!

I just can't get enough of these cute "Valentine Bears" from Art Impressions! They have been my go to stamps for my Valentine's cards this year! This is the 3rd set of cards I've made using the set. They are just too cute, love them!!

I chose papers from the Echo Park "Rather Be Crafting" 6x6 collection. First I coloured my bears and then using a piece of terry cloth and some Copic Blending Solution added some texture to their fur. I think it adds a fun element to your colouring. I added Clear Glitter Wink of Stella to the word "love". It's too bad it doesn't show well in the pictures as it really adds a cute sparkly element to the finished card.

I also added a few Gold enamel dots to tie in with the base paper I used from Bazzill Basics Paper. The paper is gold foiled and just looks so pretty.

Copics Used:

Bears: E30, E31, E34, E35, E37, Copic Blending Solution

T-shirts: R81, R83, R85/ BG11, BG23

Love sign: BG11, BG13, BG18, BG23/ RV04, RB06, RV09

Sweet Easter set!

Hello Ai Fans!

It's the second week of the Art Impressions "Sweet Treats" Challenge and the Release of the New "Sweet Easter" and "Sham-rock" sets! I just love the Art impression sets as you can create so many different cards with just one set.

I decided to create 3 different cards using the same "Sweet Easter" set!

I am using paper from the Echo Park "Hello Easter" 6x6 paper pack and on the shaker card a piece of paper from the Lawn Fawn "Perfectly Plaid Rainbow" collection. Some glitter pen, enamel dots (as usual LOL) and ribbon finish off my cards!

On this card I stamped the Easter Lilies in the mug first, masked it off, added the Lily Frame and sentiment.

I fussy cut out these cute Easter images and added them around the frame with some foam squares for dimension.

For this card I cut the frame out 2x with adhesive foam and turned it into a shaker card.

Here's the inside view of the Shaker card.

Goat Your Back!

Happy Tuesday!

Thanks for stopping by today to see my card using the High Hopes Stamp called "Goat Your Back". I've had this stamp for a while but had never inked it up. I thought it was perfect to use for the "Anything Goes" Challenges over at High Hopes and One Crazy Stamper Blogs.

I love this combination of green and black. My design is simple with just some twine and enamel dots for embellishments. These adorable goats remind me of the goats we visit every summer at The Bruce Beckons. It's adorable to watch the babies jumping all around!!

Here's the inside view. I printed this sentiment off on my computer!

Valentine Bear!

Hi Ai Fans!
Thanks for stopping by today to see a couple of cards I made using the "Valentine Bears" set from Art Impressions! I just can't get enough of these adorable bears!!

I am using some papers from an older Doodlebug collection called "Sweetheart". I am trying to use up some of my papers I've been hoarding in my stash as part of my New Years Resolution. It's hard to see in the pics but the hearts have Wink of Stella Glitter Pen added to them for a bit of sparkle!

I love that this set comes with 3 different Bears, 8 sentiments and 2 other little images you can accessorize with. I made these cards a bit smaller than I usually do. They are both 4"x4" and showcase the cute bears perfectly!

Love the play on words with this sentiment!

DDS New Monthly Challenge!

Hello!

Happy February first!! It's the beginning of a new month and that means a new Challenge over at Digi Doodle Studios Blog! The theme this month is "Crazy Little Thing Called Love"! I thought this adorable digital image from Digi Doodle Studios called "Secret Crush" was perfect to fit in with the Challenge theme! I just love the thought of young love, secret crushes and Valentine's Day! This cute pair sure look like they are smitten with each other!

I decided to make a Shaker Card this time and the Queen & Co. Pop Up Foam kits make it super easy! Just adhere the foam, add your shaker elements and add the acetate! Easy Peasy! I am using paper from the American Crafts Be Mine 6x6 collection. I cut out a bunch of heart shapes to add as part of the shakers bits as well as adding some sequins and seed beads. 

I decorated the inside and added a sentiment I created on my computer to go with the image named "Secret Crush"

New Challenge Day!

Happy February 1st!!

It's a new Month and that means a New Challenge over at High Hopes Stamps and One Crazy Stamper! The theme this month is "Anything Goes". I am using the "Under the Mistletoe" stamp turned into a Valentine's Day card.

I was looking through my images to find a stamp to use and when I saw the "Under the Mistletoe" stamp a light went off in my head! Why not mask off the mistletoe and then stamp the image. Now I have a cute couple image I can use anytime of the year! I love when you can find different ways to use your stamps for more versatility. I also am using the HH "Still the One" sentiment on the front and a few enamel dots finish it all off.

Copics Used:

Skin:E00, E11, E21, R20

Hair: T2, T3, T5/ T6, T7, T9

David's Paper Hearts!

Hi DDS Followers & Friends!

Look at this sweetie pie!!!! Meet "David's Paper Hearts" from the "Boy Crazy" Release over at Digi Doodle Studios! He is just so happy with his string of hearts and wants to share them with you!!

For my card I pulled out some old Valentine paper from my stash that I thought went well with my image. After I printed the digital image and coloured him in with my Copic Sketch markers, I cut him out with my Brother Cut N Scan machine! I popped him up in front of a heart circle die and added the some YNS gumdrops for a bit of dimension to my card. I triple layered my "love" die cut and offset it slightly. Then I cut another "love" out of adhesive foam and used it to pop up my image. Some White Gel Pen polka dots and Nuvo Drops on all the pink hearts finished off my card.
