Julie's Dream

Howdy!

Today I am sharing with you a card I made using the brand new "Julie's Dream" stamp from

High Hopes Stamps that was just released May1st! Isn't this little fairy just the cutest thing ever?! I know just the special little girl that will get this for her birthday!

I chose paper from the Simple Stories Enchanted Collection. It is the perfect paper for a little girl or these fairies! Since my "special someone" loves pinks and purple's, those were the colours I went with for this card! The design is a fairly simple one using a stitched rectangle die. Embellishments are some flower sequins with a die cut border and two corners. Of course I had to add glitter to the wings, and all of the hearts.

The inside reflects some of the outside details. The sentiment is from the new "Sentiment Set #2" (U501) and goes perfectly with the fairy themed stamp release.

Copics used:

Skin E00, E11, R20, RV04

Hair: E41, E43, E44, E47

Wings and hearts: V20, V22, V25, R81, R93

Skirt and leaves: G20, G21, G24

Flower middle: YR000, YR01, YR02

Flower petals: Y21, Y23, YR31

Outline around image: B000

Don't forget to check out our new challenge for May called "Anything Goes". The only requirement is that you use a High Hopes Stamp. If you don't have one you can use our free digi.

For The Fella's

Hello Ai Fans!

Tombow USA and Art Impressions Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Tomboy USA and Art Impressions Blog Hop!

You probably arrived here from the Art Impressions’ Blog, but if you stumbled across my blog or got lost along the way, you can always go back to the beginning and start over!

Here's the card I made for the " Hop!"

I am using the Art Impressions set that is available through your local Michaels's store. It's called "His and Hers Gardening set". It's super cute and comes with 6 images and 3 sentiments! Great value for your dollar as you can use the stamps in a multitude of ways!

First I made a side stair step card using a tutorial I found on YouTube. Once that was done I used the Tombow Mono Adhesive Permanent tape to attach my design papers to the cardstock layer. Then I used the Tombow Mono Multi Liquid glue to attach the layers to the card base.

I decided to use some of the new Tombow Foam Tape to adhere the images to my card base that I wanted to "pop" up to add some dimensional interest.

I cut the Foam Tape in half to use on my Fence.

Normally I would glue my images to my product but this time I decided to try the new Tombow Adhesive dots. I must say they are quick, super easy to use and hold great!

I paper pieced part of each person's clothing in matching design paper from the 6x6 pad!

Copics used:

Skin: E00, E11, R20

Lady: R81, R83, R85, BG11, BG13, BG15

Man: C0, C1, C3, E43, E44, E47

Garden gloves: Y32, Y35, Y38

Watering Can: C1, C3, C5

Garden hose: YG63, YG67

Bumble Bee: Y32, Y35, BG0000
