Happy Mail!

Happy Friday All!

Isn't this Gal just the sweetest? She's coming with some happy mail just for you! This is the adorable "Tiny Townie Lacey Letter" from Stamping Bella!

"Lacey Letter" comes either on its own or with the matching die set which I have. I stamped and coloured my image and then using the matching die, cut around Lacey. I used a Spellbinder Labels 6 die to cut out some patterned paper from the Echo Park Have Faith 6x6 collection. Using my Xacto Knife and the Label 6 die, I cut around the outer edge to create the pink background. Some Stickles and enamel dots finish off my card.

On the decorated inside I used the "Happy Mail" sentiment that comes with the "Lacey Letter" stamp

Sunday Best!

Happy Tuesday!

Now isn't this little guy just so handsome!!!This is the "Sunday's Best" stamp from at High Hopes Stamps. I love how he looks so proud all dressed up but his shirt tail is hanging out! Typical little boy look don't you think?! It's cute how he is trying to hide the bouquet behind his back!

I decided to use papers from the Kaiserkraft "Breathe" collection. After stamping and colouring my image with Copic markers, I cut it out using a Gina Marie Arched Stitched Die. The sentiment is also from High Hopes and is called "Colored With Love". Some enamel dots and Stickles to the flower centers finish off my card today.

Waving Hello!

HELLO!

I made this card to send to my dear friend. With all the "social distancing" and self isolation we haven't been able to get together. Since we don't live near each other anymore, we try to stay connected by meeting once a month for lunch and a gab fest! Talking on the phone just isn't the same as actually seeing your bestie! This adorable image and sentiments are from the Your Next Stamp "Waving Hello" stamp set. 

I stamped my image and added the sentiments to the paper before cutting it out. Copic Markers were my choice of colouring medium today. I love the fun and bright papers that are from the Doodlebug "Fairy Tales" 6x6 collection. Some yellow twine and Doodlebug Heart dots finish off my card.

I thought the sentiments were perfect for the times we are in right now with the Covid-19 Virus.

Hedgehugs!

I'm popping in today to share a set of adorable cards I made using the Your Next Stamp set called "HedgeHugs". I love the Spring feel to these cards! Winter is always too long as far as I am concerned!

I'm using paper today from the Echo Park Spring Fling 6x6 collection. It's an older collection but still just as pretty and springy! Anything plaid or gingham always catches my eye. I stamped and coloured my images and then using Craftin' Desert Divas Stitched In Circle die set cut out the images. Some fun gems from Little Things finish off my design.

On this card I stamped the "Thank You" into the middle of the flower circle. Then I coloured the Hedgehogs and fussy cut them out. Next I popped them up with foam squares for some added dimension to my card.

On this card I stamped a hedgehog into the middle and popped up the sentiment.

It's Spring!

Hello!!

Spring is finally here and it couldn't come soon enough for me. I love the longer days and the sun that has been showing its face lately! It's so nice looking at the window at the plants and trees that are beginning to turn green and sprout! My card today features the adorable "Bunny By Birdhouse" from High Hopes Stamps!

I started my card by stamping the image onto some Copic Friendly paper with my Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. Then I coloured the image in with my Copic Markers. Next I cut the image out with a Fishtail die and added a blue cardstock layer behind it. I decided to use a piece of blue gingham paper from the MFT Gingham Galore 6x6 collection. I added a die cut blue piece that I embossed using the Tailored Expressions "Flower Power" embossing folder. The sentiment called "Spring Has Sprung" also from High Hopes Stamps goes perfectly with this adorable image! Some ribbon, a bow and button finish off my card.

TP Dudley!

Hello Friends!

Today is all about sending some cheer to our Neighbours! The subdivision we live in is very social! It's an "Adult Lifestyle" Community and I know everyone is struggling with the social distancing. I have to thank Whimsy Stamps for the free digital stamp called "TP Dudley" and a big thanks to the Designer, Dustin Pike for creating this perfect image!

I printed off a page of TP Dudley and set about colouring each one a different colour. Next I dug through my 6x6 papers and found patterned papers to match. I used the CDD "Fancy Frames Dies to create my cards. I made the sentiment "Good Friends Are Hard To Find" on my computer and the inside shows as follows....

LOL right?!!

Papers are from the 6x6 collections:

Doodlebug : Sunkissed, I Love Travel & Dragon Tails

Echo Park: Little Man & For The Record 2

Sunny Studios: Preppy Prints

I also added Clear Glitter Pen to the Dragon's bellies.

I had some mini "googley eyes" I've been wanting to use and they fit TP Dudley perfectly!

If you want to see what Copic combo's I used hopefully you can tell from the picture LOL!

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you are well and keeping busy during this different and difficult time in our World!

Happy Stamping!

With Sympathy!

Hello!

Not only was I short on Get Well cards but Sympathy cards as well. I always hate when I run out as it means I've had to send some out and it's not a fun occasion. I'm really trying to use stamps that I've ordered, never used and hoarded (lol). This set is from Simon Says Stamp and is called "Delicate Flowers". 

I decided to watercolor these beauties for something different than my usual Copic colouring. I stamped the image onto watercolor paper with Wow Opaque Brilliant White Super Fine Embossing Powder and melted the powder with my heat gun. Then using Tombow markers I added a bit of colour to the image. Taking a fine tipped water brush I pulled the colour out making it look watercolored. I backed the water colour panel with some matching polka dot papers from Echo Park. A few gems finish things off. 

On this card I actually fussy cut the flowers and popped them up amongst the foliage.

On this card I stamped the flowers and then masked them off. Next I added the leaves around the flower images.

On the inside I used a sympathy sentiment from my stash and a bit of the dotted papers.

Tobow markers used:

249, 126, 847

985, 606, N5

Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy Stamping!

Mary Angel!

Happy Tuesday!

I hope my post today finds you all well in these difficult days! I thought I'd pop in with a cutie to help brighten your day! Meet the adorable "Mary Angel" from High Hopes Stamps! Isn't she just having the best time splashing in the puddles! Mary Angel reminds me of my daughters when they were little and loved to play in the rain!

I chose papers today from an older Echo Park collection called "Spring". I thought the umbrella papers went perfectly with this image. I coloured my image with my Copic markers and then paper pieced Mary's coat and umbrella. It's hard to see but the puddle, splashes and Mary's wings all have clear glitter pen added to them for a bit of sparkle! I added some clear dewdrops (gems) to the cut out image to look like rain drops.

I decorated the inside of my card and then added the "Play In The Puddles" sentiment also from High Hopes Stamps.

Copics Used:

Skin: R00, E21, E11, R20

Hair: Y00, Y23, YR12

Pants & Hat: BG13, BG34, BG32

Boots: Y21, Y23

Nurse Nancy!

Happy Hello!!

I'll let you in on a little secret...... I've been obsessed with watching "Call the Midwife" on Netflix! I've binge watched them all and just loved it! Anything about babies always gets me hooked! "Nurse Nancy" from C.C. Designs reminded me of these ladies for some reason!

I decided to colour "Nurse Nancy" to match these Midwives.

I had to dig through my papers to find some red and baby blue to match my coloured images. I finally found some that worked in the Pink & Main "Beach Bum" 6x6 collection. Some simple layers and a "Get Well" sentiment from my wooden block stash made up my design today. A bit of Stickles for some bling on the red crosses finish off my card.

Copics Used:

Skin: E00, E21, E11, R20

Hair, bag and shoes: C4, C7, C9

Reds:R37, R59, R89

Blues: B21, B23, B24

Chicks With Hat-itude!

Happy Tuesday!

Thanks for popping in today to see my Tuesday post for High Hopes Stamps. Meet the adorable trio called "Gertie, Millie & Hattie". These cuties remind me of my peeps and the day we tried on Halloween hats LOL. The HH Sentiment called "Hat-itude" goes perfectly with these besties!

Lots of layers on my cards today using papers the Doodlebug French Kiss 6x6 collection and some matching cardstock. I tried to colour these ducks to match the papers with my Copic Sketch Markers. I used my Brother Cut N Scan to cut the image out and then popped it up with some foam tape. It's hard to see in the picture but each of the hats have Glitter Pen on the flowers and ribbons for a soft glittery look. A big hot pink bow and some heart shaped enamel dots finish off my card.

Copics Used: 

Ducks: C00. C1, YR04, YR07, YR21, YR23

Flowers: RV17, RV19, YG23, G28
