I Love Penguins!

Hi!

I totally forgot to share this with you guys! This is Snowy Dancing In The Snow by Connie Fong. I stumbled upon her somehow through Facebook and joined her group. This was a free digital for a bit and it's my understanding Connie will soon be opening an Etsy shop. I had entered this into her Monthly Challenge for December. You can request to join her group here

I'm using papers from the Echo Park Hello Winter Collection. I also used Liquid Pearls on the snowdrops for a fun element. Lots of layers and dies to this card!

Copics Used:

Penguin: T1, T3, T4, T5, T7, R11, Y35, Y38

Umbrella: E43, E44, E47/ BG11, BG23, BG72, BG75, BG78

Snow and outline: B000

I also am using a new watermark from Miss Daisy Stamps. Kathryne was so sweet in helping me with the watermark.  Miss Daisy Stamps also has a great Facebook group that you can find here!

This is the one I decided on! So cute eh?!!

Chat soon!

Maude!

Coffee, I need coffee!

Hello Ai Fans!

Who doesn't wake up and first thing go and get themselves a coffee?! I know I do and the adorable and funnyArt Impressions  "Maude" (#1238) looks like she does too! With that expression I don't think I would even talk to her until she had a couple coffees in her LOL! 

I love the pink and grey combination to this card! I am using papers from the Carta Bella Paris Girl 6x6 collection! I finally get to use my SSS Coffee Cup die.....I've had it for awhile now and was waiting for the perfect time to use it! The sentiment on the front is from the MFT Clearly Sentimental About Coffee set.

On the inside of my card I used the Coffee cup die again and the Art Impressions sentiment called "I'm Pleasant"(#2629).

Copics Used:

Skin: E000, E01, E31, R20

Hair: N1, N3, N5

Housecoat: R81, R83, R85, R89

Winter Wonderland!

Hello Ai Fans!

The new Challenge starts today and the theme is "Winter Wonderland".  I had no idea what I was going to do. Whenever I see a stamp with a winter theme I automatically think it has to be for Christmas.  Weird I know but I guess it's just how my brain thinks LOL! I got all my Ai stamps out and started to look through them when BAM it hit me! I could use the "Beanie Whoot" set (#4127). It was one of the sentiments that got me thinking.... "with owl my thanks". What a perfect card to use right after Christmas to thank your family and friends for the lovely gifts you received! My brain went into overdrive LOL and I decided to make a set of 5 Thank You cards.

I started by picking what Design papers I wanted to use, my embellishments and matching cardstock.

I went ahead and stamped 5 of the Owl images. I wanted to paper piece the hats so I also stamped an image on each of my 5 Designer papers from the MME Moments 6x6 collection. I went ahead and coloured my images using my Copic Sketch markers. I cut out my sentiments using the MFT Stitched Fishtail Flag Stax. I like to get as much use out of my dies in various ways. Instead of using the the die as a "fishtail" I used it to make a long skinny rectangle for my sentiment. Using one of my favourite tools....the Perfect Layers Mini ruler and mat, I layered my sentiment with 2 matching pieces of cardstock.

I added 2 pieces of Doodlebug Twine and made a double bow for each card.  After fussy cutting out all the hats it was time to assemble my cards.

The finished product!!

Of course I had to make a little file folder and matching cover for my cards. It's super cute and makes this set into an adorable gift to give!

I hope that I have given you some inspiration and you will play along in our new Winter Wonderland Challenge! 

Happy Stamping!

Crazy Bird Series #2

Good Morning!

Today I am sharing with you the 2nd card in my Tim Holtz Bird Crazy stamp series. This crazy birds are so popular right now and I can totally see why! I decided to make this guy into a birthday card.

I used the Tim Holtz "Crazy Things" accessories and added the party hat and balloons to this crazy bird image. Once again I am trying out my new Copic sketch markers in some of the fluorescent colours. I put some Glossy Accents on the birds eyes for fun. I kept my design simple so that the bird is the main focus of the layout.

The inside sentiment is from a Stamping Bella Uptown Girl called "Posh Has a Present".

Copics Used:

Body: V12, V04, FV2

Beak: FYG1, FY1

Balloons: FYR1, YR04/ FRV1, RV14, RV17

Hat & Ground: T1

Outline: B000
