Flip The Snowflake!

Howdy!

I'm popping in today with a set of cards I made using the Taylored Expressions "Flip the Snowflake" stamp and matching die. I bought this set last year when I was inspired by TE video (you can view it HERE). I finally got it out and played along while I watched the video.

These cards come together fast as the stamp is inked, no Copic colouring here lol. You also use your MISTI to "flip" the image for perfect stamping and spacing. Then you use the die and cut out the snowflakes, place on a background and BOOM you're done!

On this diagonal version, I used 3 ink colours to try to get an ombre effect. I embossed the sentiment with Silver Embossing Powder. I added the stamped "cut out" to an ink blended background. A few clear gems in various sizes finished off my card.

On this example, I made an ink blended background and then stamped the image with embossing ink. Then I added Silver Embossing Powder and heat set it. I stamped the sentiment in ink to match and added a few die cut snowflakes popped up with foam squares. More gems finish off this card.

On this card I used the same technique as the blue card trying to get an ombre inked look. I embossed the sentiment with more of the Silver Embossing Powder. I added some pink gems on all the snowflake centers for a sparkly look.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy Stamping!

 

Winter Friends!

Hello!

Today I am sharing these cute Winter friends with you! I love the look on the Snowman's face.... such a look of love to his little bear friend!! This digital stamp is from Kinda Cute By Patricia Alveraz and is called "Snowman and Friends".

I am using paper from the Doodlebug "Christmas Town" 6x6 collection. I inked all the edges of my papers with Vintage Photo Distress Ink for a bit of added dimension!

I added some twine, a bow and snowflake charm for added interest. A few snowflake sequins finish off my card.

Snowlady!

Hello!

I'm a sucker for a cute snowman and today's image from High Hopes Stamps called "Birdies Friend Snowlady" melted my heart! She's just too cute, isn't she??!!

I stamped and coloured my image with my Copic Sketch Markers to match my papers from the Photoplay "Frosty Friends" 6x6 collection. I cut the image out with an Oval die and cut another oval to place behind it. Using more oval dies I cut out some of the Designer paper as well. I used the High Hopes sentiment called "Work of Art"on the front of my card. A simple layout makes this fun card today. 

I popped the image up with foam squares to give the card some added interest. Some ribbon, enamel dots and a bit of Stickles on the heart buttons to finish off my card.

Happy Halloween!

Hi!

It's Halloween tonight and this year it might be a bit different due to the pandemic. Hopefully all the little ghosts and goblins stay safe but still manage to have fun! I made this card using the Craft Consortium's Happy Haunting stamp set called "Trick Or Treat".

I stamped and coloured my card using my Copic Markers. I decided to use papers from the Craft Consortium "Happy Haunting" 6x6 collection. This card is a bit "busy" with the papers, but I went with it anyway! I hand cut out the image and added a flag border. I used lots of glitter pen on the image although it's hard to see in the pictures. I also added White Nuvo dots to the mushroom for a bit of added dimension.

Anything Goes Challenge!

Happy Thursday!

Well, today is my last post Guest Designing over on the Krafty Chicks Challenge Blog! Wow this month went by fast and I had so much fun playing along in their Challenges. This weeks Challenge Theme is "Anything Goes". I decided to make this fun slimline card using the "Birds and the Bees" and "Green Fingers" stamp sets from Craft Consortium. This is a new Company for me and they have the cutest images!

I started by cutting out a white base using a Gina Marie "Scalloped Stitched Slimline" die. Next using Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink and an MFT Cloud Stencil, I created my sky background. I used some Brutus Monroe Rainbow Dot Slimline paper to create my hills and grass and inked the edges using some Vintage Photo distress Ink. After I stamped and coloured the images with my Copic Markers, I cut them out with my Brother Cut N Scan. All I had to do then was create my little scene. I added some Stickles to the flower centres and the bee's wings for a bit of bling.

Copics Used:

R01, R02, R21, R22, R24, R27, R81, R83, R85

Merry Christpaws!

 Happy Tuesday!

I'm so happy you stopped by today to see this adorable card using the "Dog Trio Block" from High Hopes Stamps! I'm a dog lover and have 2 fur babies of my own. Christmas is fun for them as they get gifts too. My one dog Ally, will even unwrap the gift if you start the corner for her. Stella just waits until Ally unwraps it and then steals it away. Then the chase is on LOL!

I stamped my image onto Copic friendly paper and used my Copic Markers to colour it in. Next, using a Double Roped Square die from Gina Marie, I cut out the coloured image. I thought the "Merry Christpaws" sentiment went perfect with this image! My papers today are from the Photoplay Kringle & Co. 6x6 collection. Love the non traditional red and black theme of this collection. A bit of Crystal Stickles on the image finish off my card.

Copics Used:

Dog with hat: T0, T1, T6, T7, T8, T9

Ballerina!

Hello!

When I first saw this image it reminded me of my daughter when she was 4 years old. She used to take Ballet lessons and wore a black leotard and a pink tutu. It was always so cute watching this age group try to be graceful. Sometimes they were more like a herd of elephants LOL. This is the adorable digital stamp called "Preparing To Dance" you can find over at  Kinda Cute by Patricia Alveraz!

I started my card by downloading, sizing and printing out my image. Then using my Copic Sketch Markers, I coloured her in to match how my daughter used to  look. Next Using a circle die, I cut her out and put a Spellbinders Lacey Circle die behind her. My papers today are from the Carta Bella "Paris Girl" 6x6 collection. A few paper layers, a MFT Beautiful Bows die cut, some enamel dots and Stickles to the edge of her skirt  and I was done! 

Copics Used:

Skin: E01, E21, E11, R20

Hair: E31, E33, E35, E37

Birthday Hat

Hi!

It's Thursday, so that means it's the start of a New Challenge over on the Krafty Chicks Challenge Blog! The theme this week is "Any Occassion" and I decided to do a birthday card. I can never have enough Birthday cards in my stash so when I design one, I usually make 2 at the same time. I decided to use one of my favourite Art Impressions sets called "Birthday Hat". Everyone always gets a kick out of this Gal!

I stamped my images onto some Copic Friendly paper and coloured them with my Copic Sketch Markers. I used my Brother Cut N Scan to electronically cut them out leaving a white border around the edges. I decided to use papers from the Doodlebug "Hey Cupcake" 6x6 collection. For a fun change, I paper pieced the dresses. I added the image to the card base with some foam squares for added dimension. I didn't realize it when I made this card but unfortunately this stamp set is now retired.

I used the sentiment from the "Birthday Hat" set but I cut it in half so I could place it this way on the card.

Copics Used:

Skin: E00, E21, E11, R20, RV55

Hair & Shoes: C6, C8

Hat Bow: RV09, RV17, RV19/ BG53, BG57, BG09

Cake: E53, E55, E57, E59

Candles: YG23, YG25/ RV17, RV19/ BG53, BG57/Y38

Snow Sweet!

Hi!

Todays cards are all about my absolute favourite Winter/ Christmas image....... SNOWMEN!!!!! And of course a Snowlady is even cuter! Meet the adorable "Snow Sweet Snowlady" from High Hopes Stamps! 

I decided to make two cards using this adorable image for my Christmas Stash! I stamped the images onto Copic friendly paper and coloured them in to match the papers I had chosen to use. Each card uses the "Snow People Saying", one on the front and one on the inside of the card.

For this fun card, I used papers from the Bella Blvd. "Santa Squad" 6x6 collection. I cut out a little frame and then popped it up using 2 layers of foam tape. Next I added some snowy hills and a few trees. I tucked my image under one of the hills and added  bit of Stickles to the hills. The sentiment is on the inside of this card.

For my second version, I used papers from the Recollections "Mistletoe Wishes" 6x6 collection. My design is simple with this card using only 2 of the Designer Papers and some basic Oval die cuts. a few enamel dots and a bit of Stickles to his candy buttons finish off my card.

Copics used:

Snowlady #1: B0000, B000, B00, YR04

Hat & Scarf: RV52, RV55, RV34

Reds: R22, R24, R27, R29

Buttons: YG17, YG23

Snowlady #2: C00, C0, C1, C2, YR04

Hat & Scarf: B34, B37, B39

Let's Build A Snowman!

Happy Friday!

My card today is another attempt at the "no-line colouring" technique! I really like the soft and different look you get! This cute digital stamp is called "Boy Building Snowman" and is from Kinda Cute by Patricia Alveraz. This image brings back so many memories of building snowmen as a child and then again with my own children! 

To begin..... I downloaded, sized and then before printing the image, I changed the Opacity image settings. I made it light so that when the image prints there is not much of an outline.  Just enough to see to colour but that doesn't show through. I coloured the image with my Copic Sketch markers and then using a Gina Marie Pierced Dot Rectangle die, cut out the image. I decided to use this snowflake paper from the Echo Park "My Favourite Winter" 6x6 collection and backed it with cardstock to match my colouring. The sentiment is also from Kinda Cute's "Christmas Sentiments set".

My decorated inside with another sentiment from the "Christmas Set". There's a huge value to this set! You get 23 sentiment images for $2.75 ($1.93 right now on sale).

Copics Used:

Skin: E01, E21, E11, R20

Hair & Boots: E31, E35, E37, E39

Outfit: R39, R59, R89/ B91, B93, B95, B97

Snowman: C00, C0, C1, C2, C3, C8, C9/ E31, E35
