Berry Sweet!


Hello Everyone!
Today I want to share with you a card I designed for the Tiddy Inks Design Team call. There are so many talented gals entering I almost decided against it! But I decided to throw my hat in the ring and see what happens! Tiddly Inks has so many gorgeous and cute stamps to choose from. I have a few in my stash but I was inspired by my Strawberry picking day last week. 
I decided to use the "Wryn Berry Sweet" digital stamp for this card. I mean it doesn't get any cuter than Wryn! 
I've had this paper from the Wild Rose Studios Strawberry Picnic for quite awhile and as soon as I chose Wryn, I knew that these would be the perfect papers to use! I printed the digital image out on some Copic XPress-It paper and then coloured Wryn to match with the papers using Copics Sketch markers. Using the My Favourite Things Zig Zag Stitched ovals, I cut around my image. All the Designer papers are layered with coordinating cardstock. A cute blue gingham ribbon, bow and some fussy cut out berries from the "Wryn Berry Sweet" set finished off my card.
I love using foam squares or foam tape to pop up parts of my card for added dimension!
On the inside I added another berry and some of the coordinating papers for added interest. I used the Your Next Stamp Fancy Thanks Die to make this into a thank you card!
I love the script on the strawberry!

A Treat From Me To You!

Hello Ai Fans!
Todays card is such a super cool idea from Art Impressions! It's called the "Coffee Keeper" and is from the Ai Card Keepers Line!
What you do is stamp the different elements to the cup on various papers and then after fussy cutting the images out, assemble them altogether to make this adorable cup. The set comes with full instructions and is super easy to use!
When you lift up the flap it exposes your "gift"! Super cute and will make anyone smile for sure!
You get to personalize the "cup protector" by checking off what boxes you want.
For the inside I just made a sentiment on my computer.

Happy Stamping!

Tropical Santa!

Happy Tuesday!
It's Christmas in July over on the High Hopes Blog! This month the Design Team is using Christmas themed stamps for a fun twist on our designs! When I saw "Tropical Santa" I knew I had to have him! He's a man after my own heart! A beach, a cool tropical drink and the sun..... doesn't get any better than this LOL!
I decided to use papers from the Carta Bella Beach Day 6x6 collection! I used the High Hopes "Ho Ho Ho" sentiment. Can't you just hear Santa laughing "Ho Ho Ho' while he relaxes on the beach? I popped up Santa and the sentiment with some foam squares to add some dimension to my card.  I finished off my card with some lime ribbon and YNS Gumdrops.
I couldn't decide which card I like better so I am showing you both of them. This card has the added palm trees for that true beach feel!

Shopping Friends!

Hi Ai Fans!
I just love the whole Girlfriends line over at Art Impressions! This super cute set is called "Shop Set"and comes with the image and 3 matching sentiments. I can just picture this being so true for many of us! The word "Sale" and off we go running!
After colouring my image with my Copics, I cut out this cute PPP Scalloped frame to layer over top. The image is a good size so I didn't need to really add a bunch of different papers to it. Just a ribbon and bow to finish it all off! This card size is 6.5"x 5".
This sentiment that comes with the set just cracks me up!!
