Thanks!

Hi!

Thanks for stopping by today to check out my card using the adorable "Valentine Lizard" digital stamp from Kinda Cute By Patricia Alvarez! This digi doesn't have to be used just for Valentine's Day, it's perfect for all kinds of cards!

After downloading, sizing and printing my image on my printer, I coloured "Valentine Lizard" to match the papers from the Pink & Main Enchanted Garden 6x6 collection. I used an Oval Stitched Die to cut out the image and popped it up with foam squares onto my background! All the dots on the Lizard have Stickles on them for a fun look. I used a sentiment from the Kinda Cute Thank You Sentiments Basics Digital set cut out with a Fishtail Flag die. To finish things off I added a bow and flower button.

On the decorated inside is another sentiment from the Thank You Sentiments Basics Digital set.

Copics Used:

Lizard: R89, RV17, RV19, G28, YG17, YG25

Heart Candy Box: BG11, BG32, Y15, Y17

Flowers: RV06, RV09, Y15, Y17, BG32, YG25

Ground: YG21, YG25, YG17, G28

With Sympathy!

Good Morning!

I'm back sharing another image from the New Summer 2020 Release over at High Hopes Stamps! This is the beautiful "Hummingbird" image and what a stunner it is! You can use it for any occasion which makes this image very versatile!

I made this pretty heart lattice 6x6" card with a SVG file and my Cameo Electronic Cutting Machine. I stamped the Hummingbird image onto some Copic friendly paper and used my Copic Sketch Markers to colour it in. Then I cut the image out with a Stitched Circle die and backed it with a green circle. Some crystal gems finish off my card.

On the inside I used some patterned paper from the Moda Scrap "Let Your Soul Bloom" collection and added the High Hopes sentiment called "Sending A Prayer".

Copics Used: 

Flowers: RV69, RV66, RV17, Y38

Leaves: G28, YG17, YG23, YG25

Let The Party Begin!

Hello Again!

I hope you are enjoying the weekend as I am! I'm at my parents cottage and am totally relaxed sitting by the water! I love Art Impression Stamps! I used to be on their DT and miss creating with their goodies! So every once in a while I have to pull some out and get creating! This is a newer Girlfriend set called "Practically Perfect".

I used a white A2 sized card and added a "Diamond Mosaic Background" die cut from Gina Marie. Then I cut out a Gina Marie Loopy Oval die to back my image. I stamped the image on Copic friendly paper and coloured it in with my Copic Sketch Markers. I used 3 different skin colour combo's for a change as we all don't look the same....right?! Next using an oval die, I cut out the image. A nice big box and some Crystal, Sea Spray and Yellow Stickles finish off my design.

Both the sentiment on the inside and on the from come with the "Practically Perfect" set.

Skin: E00, E21, E95/ E21, E23, E25, E29/ E00, E31, E33, E35

Waving Hotdog!

Howdy!

Oh My Gosh!!!! What is cuter than a "Waving Hotdog"??  When I saw this digital image from Kinda Cute By Patricia Alvarez, I just knew I had to create a fun card with it! My favourite way to cook a hotdog is over a campfire, what about you?

I downloaded, sized and printed the image onto Copic friendly paper. Next I coloured the "Waving Hotdog" in with my Copic Markers. The Doodlebug papers from the "So Much Pun" 6x6 collection were perfect for this cute digi! Using my Brother Cut N Scan, I cut out the image leaving a small white border. Mr. Hotdog is popped up with foam tape for added dimension. A few enamel dots and some Stickles on the mustard line finish off my card. 

Copics Used:

E95, E97, E99, Y19

Bun: E31, E33, E34, E35

Fred!

Happy Tuesday!

Oh my gosh isn't "Fred" from the High Hopes Summer 2020 Release just the cutest dog ever?!! And his name....Fred just suits him perfectly and makes me smile!

I stamped Fred onto some Copic friendly paper and coloured him in with my Copic Sketch Markers. Next I cut him out with a Zig Zag Frame die. I decided to use papers from the Doodlebug "Down On the Farm" 6x6 collection. I added some twine and a Wooden dog house embellishment that I inked with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I love the "Ruff" sentiment also from High Hopes. It's perfect for Fred to let someone know you're missing them!

Copics Used:

Fred: E31, E33, E34, E35, E37, R01

Chatty Squidgy!

Welcome!

With all the social isolation and distancing during the pandemic, I sure am missing my friends! I thought this image from Stamping Bella called "Chatty Squidgy" was perfect to reflect the times. Even though a phone call can't quite replace an actual meeting it's better than nothing!

I coloured both of the images that come in the "Chatty Squidgy" set with my Copic Markers. I tried to colour them match the papers from the Honey Bee "Spring Fling" 6x6 collection. I cut the larger image out with my Brother Cut N Scan and the smaller one with a Gina Marie Pleated Circle die. I added a small piece of black wire that I wrapped around a pencil, to replicate a phone cord, joining the 2 images together. The sentiment also comes with the "Chatty Squidgy" set. A bit of glitter pen to the girl's bows finish off my design.

Here's the decorated inside using a sentiment from Paper Smooches.

Copics Used:

Skin: EE000, E01, E11, R20, white gel pen

Hair: E53, e55, E57, E59/ W3, W5, W6, W7

Dress & Bows: R21, R22, R24/ BG11, BG15, BG18

Shoes: C1, C3, C5

Phone: W5, W7, W8

Don't forget to reach out to your friends during these difficult times! 

Happy Stamping!

Welcome!

Hi!

As soon as I saw this digital image from Kinda Cute By Patricia Alvarez called "House On A Tree", I knew it would be perfect to welcome our new neighbours to the neighbourhood! I paired it with a bottle of wine but the card got more attention than the wine LOL!

To start, I sized, printed the image and then coloured it in with my Copic Sketch Markers. Next I used a MFT Zig Zag Oval die to cut out my image. I found the cute background paper in the Doodlebug "Bunnyville" 6x6 collection. I inked all my papers with Distress Ink in Vintage Photo for a bit of added dimension. I made the sentiment on my computer to fit what I wanted to use the card for. Some Crystal Stickles, ribbon and a bow finish off my card design.

Copics Used:

E43, E44, E47, E49

B01, E35, Y35, Y38

The Sentiment is also from High Hopes and is called "Smell The Flowers". A nice big bow with a button centre finish off my card.

Amazing Day!

Hi!

Just look at this cutie from Polkadoodles called "Earlie Hedgehog Dandelion"! I fell in love with this digital stamp as soon as I saw it!

I downloaded, sized and printed this digital image and then I coloured it with my Copic Markers. I decided to use papers from the Doodlebug "Simply Spring" 6x6 collection! I love these pastel fun prints, they just make the card have such a happy feel to it! Using a Gina Marie Pleated Circle die, I cut out my coloured image and popped it up with some foam squares. I also inked all the edges of my papers with Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Wilted Violet. The circle sentiment is from the Polkadoodles "Prickly Little Dude" Digi stamp set (I'll be making a card with the image soon). Some Stickles on the flower centres and a few enamel dots finish off my card.

Copics Used:

Hedgehog: E51, E53, E55, E57, E59, white gel pen

Flower bouquet: RV06, YG17, YG23

flower in hair: BV04, BV11, BV13, BV17/ YR04, YR09

Ground: W1, W3

Norman Goat!

Hello!

Baby Goats always get all the attention but I think the High Hopes Image "Norman Goat" deserves some love too LOL! I mean look at him.... cute or what!! I picture him being the Matriach of the family with all the little goats surrounding him as he tells the tales of his life!

I chose papers today from the Echo Park's "A Dog's Tale" 6x6 collection. After stamping and colouring "Norman" with my Copic Markers, I cut him out using the CDD Fancy Frame die set. I inked all the edges of my papers with Vintage Photo Distress Ink for added dimension.  Don't you just love the HH Sentiment "Humor Me". I think it suits Norman well! Some Burlap ribbon and enamel dots finish off my card.

Copics Used:

Goat: W4, W5, W6, W8, R20/ E43, E44

Top: BG72, BG75, BG78
