Valentine Bear!

Hi Ai Fans!
Thanks for stopping by today to see a couple of cards I made using the "Valentine Bears" set from Art Impressions! I just can't get enough of these adorable bears!!

I am using some papers from an older Doodlebug collection called "Sweetheart". I am trying to use up some of my papers I've been hoarding in my stash as part of my New Years Resolution. It's hard to see in the pics but the hearts have Wink of Stella Glitter Pen added to them for a bit of sparkle!

I love that this set comes with 3 different Bears, 8 sentiments and 2 other little images you can accessorize with. I made these cards a bit smaller than I usually do. They are both 4"x4" and showcase the cute bears perfectly!

Love the play on words with this sentiment!

Copics Used:

E30, E31, E34, E35, E37

DDS New Monthly Challenge!

Hello!

Happy February first!! It's the beginning of a new month and that means a new Challenge over at Digi Doodle Studios Blog! The theme this month is "Crazy Little Thing Called Love"! I thought this adorable digital image from Digi Doodle Studios called "Secret Crush" was perfect to fit in with the Challenge theme! I just love the thought of young love, secret crushes and Valentine's Day! This cute pair sure look like they are smitten with each other!

I decided to make a Shaker Card this time and the Queen & Co. Pop Up Foam kits make it super easy! Just adhere the foam, add your shaker elements and add the acetate! Easy Peasy! I am using paper from the American Crafts Be Mine 6x6 collection. I cut out a bunch of heart shapes to add as part of the shakers bits as well as adding some sequins and seed beads. 

I decorated the inside and added a sentiment I created on my computer to go with the image named "Secret Crush"

New Challenge Day!

Happy February 1st!!

It's a new Month and that means a New Challenge over at High Hopes Stamps and One Crazy Stamper! The theme this month is "Anything Goes". I am using the "Under the Mistletoe" stamp turned into a Valentine's Day card.

I was looking through my images to find a stamp to use and when I saw the "Under the Mistletoe" stamp a light went off in my head! Why not mask off the mistletoe and then stamp the image. Now I have a cute couple image I can use anytime of the year! I love when you can find different ways to use your stamps for more versatility. I also am using the HH "Still the One" sentiment on the front and a few enamel dots finish it all off.

David's Paper Hearts!

Hi DDS Followers & Friends!

Look at this sweetie pie!!!! Meet "David's Paper Hearts" from the "Boy Crazy" Release over at Digi Doodle Studios! He is just so happy with his string of hearts and wants to share them with you!!

For my card I pulled out some old Valentine paper from my stash that I thought went well with my image. After I printed the digital image and coloured him in with my Copic Sketch markers, I cut him out with my Brother Cut N Scan machine! I popped him up in front of a heart circle die and added the some YNS gumdrops for a bit of dimension to my card. I triple layered my "love" die cut and offset it slightly. Then I cut another "love" out of adhesive foam and used it to pop up my image. Some White Gel Pen polka dots and Nuvo Drops on all the pink hearts finished off my card.

Good Times!

Hello HH & OCS Peeps!!

Today I am sharing with you a card I created using the stamp called "Canoe Trip" by High Hopes Stamps. As kids we used to canoe a lot at the Cottage! We would canoe to our friends down the shore and then off we would all go paddling away. My Dad used to take us out in the canoe on really stormy days when the waves were huge. He would purposely tip the canoe and we had fun bringing it back to shore. We thought it was a game but He was teaching us how to handle that scenario.

I chose papers from the Carta Bella Fall Blessings 6x6 collection. I fussy cut out my image and added it to my base layers. I also inked all the edges of my papers with Vintage Photo Distress ink. The sentiment is also from High Hopes and is called "Good Times"

Since I had the "Lg Tee Pee" stamp I thought I'd use it on the inside of my card. I typed the sentiment on my computer and added it to the card for a bit of fun!

Copics Used:

Skin: E53, E13, E15

Snow Friends!

Howdy DDS Fans!

Well....... Winter is still here so that means we still have snow here! When I saw this cute digital image from Digi Doodle Studios called "Lucia & Icelyn", it just reminded me of the fun times my Sister and I had building our own snowmen! I always secretly hoped they would come alive LOL!

After I printed my image on Copic Xpress-It paper I decided to cut around it with a heart die to represent my fond memories. I coloured the page with my Copic Sketch markers and used papers from the Doodlebug Polar Pals 6x6 collection. I added the sentiment using the  "Snow Wishes" digital sentiment set. I don't know why my camera doesn't pick up the glitter but trust me there are Stickles on all the mint green areas! I got a bit carried away with the ink splatters LOL but hey, they are fun to do!!

Coffee Please!

Hello Ai Fans!

This poor guy sure is all tangled up, but rest assured nothing that "a coffee" can't fix! This is the funny "Giraffe" set from the "Zoo Crew" over at Art Impressions!

I am using paper from the Doodlebug "At The Zoo" 6x6 collection. I cut a piece of the paper with a Stitched Border frame and added some enamel dots for a fun element to my card! I also inked all the edges of my paper with Distress Ink in Vintage Photo. After I coloured the "Giraffe", I realized he was too tall to use a die cut shape around him for my A2 card size. So I pulled out my trusty Brother Cut N Scan and used the machine to "fussy Cut" around him. Now he it perfectly on my card!
