Stacey Yacula Halloween!

Hello,

Today, I'm sharing a cute little card featuring some Halloween images from Stacey Yacula.  This card combines sets from My Favorite Things and Purple Onion Designs.  I love that even though she designs for 2 different companies, her images seamlessly work together.  For this card, I started with a piece of white card stock.  I stamped out my background images, masked them off, and used Distress Inks and Copics to color in the background.  Then I removed the masks and finished coloring the images.  Then I colored up my focal images, fussy cut them out, and popped them onto my scene using foam tape.  Some added highlights with a white gel pen finish it off.  Have I mentioned how much I love Halloween? lol!

Paperie Ink Llama Say

Hello, hello!  I hope you are having a great weekend.  Today, I'm excited to share a couple of cards I created using the adorable Llama Say stamp set from Paperie Ink.  As soon as this company made it's debut, I fell in love.  They have the cutest stamps!  And I knew I wanted to create some sweet little cards with them.  

For both cards, I used some distress inks in my stash to create my sunset background.  Then I die cut the landscape using the Southwest Border Die from Craftin' Desert Divas.  I colored up my little llamas and Cactus images using Copic Markers and fussy cut them out.  Then I popped them onto my scenes using foam tape.  I just love how these came out.  So much fun!

Hi!  Today, I'm sharing a sweet little Farmer's Market Card using the NEW Digi set from Not2ShabbyShop!  You can find the new set HERE!  For my card, I started with some chicken wire patterned paper and trimmed it to fit my card base.  Then I printed out my Farmer's Market Digi Stamp and Colored it up with Copics.  I fussy cut it out and adhered it to the center of my card panel.  Then I added some die cut grass to the bottom and this cute little girl from MFT.  A super easy card that makes a big statement!

MFT Tweet Friends

Hello there!  Hope you are having a great week!  Today, I have a fun little card to share featuring the Stacey Yacula set from MFT called Tweet Friends.  This little set is one of my all time favorites.  These little birds are just the cutest!  To create this card, I started with the Pathway Background stamp from Hello Bluebird.  I'm telling you guys.  This stamp is awesome!!! It goes with just about everything.  I colored up the scene with my Copics.  Then I stamped out my little birds, colored those up and cut them out using the coordinating dies.  Then I used foam tape to add them to my scene.  I also stamped out my sentiment and some musical notes.  And that's it!  Easy peasy!  

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a great day!

Hi Sunshine

Hello, I have a fun little summer card for your today.  I used products from several different companies to create this one.  First I started with the MFT Distressed Patterns Stamp set and stamped out some ink splatters on the corners of my card.  Then I stamped my Sunshine sentiments from the Ellen Hutson All Inside Stamp Set.  I cut up some nautical themed patterned papers and layered them on top of each other.  Then I added a die cut port hole and the word "hey" die cut from red card stock.  I colored up my image from MFT and added her to the left corner using foam tape.  Then I added a few enamel dots, some die cut clouds, and there you have it, one bright, summery card!

Avery Elle Peek-A-Boo Scary Pals - Make a Wish

Hello!  I'm back today with another favorite set of mine!  These adorable little monsters are part of the Avery Elle Peek-A-Boo Scary Pals Set!  Aren't they just the cutest???  For my card, I started with a sun stencil and created some rays with distress inks.  Then I die cut a circle out of yellow card stock and added that to the middle of my rays.  Then I layered in tons of die cut trees and a winding road.  Then I stamped out my little images and colored them up using Copic Markers.  I die cut them out and started layering them all together.  I just love that they fit inside this little car.  So much fun!  Most of the pieces are popped up with foam tape to add dimension and interest to the card.  To finish it all off, I stamped my sentiment at the top and added a few highlights with my white gel pen!

Sugarpea Designs Hey Winter

Hello!  Just wanted to pop on and share this fun little holiday card I made using the NEW Hey Winter Clear Stamp set from Sugarpea Designs.  I have to tell you, I absolutely LOVE this set!  The minute I saw it, I had to snatch it up, and I'm so glad I got a chance to create with it before the end of the season!  For my card, I started with some woodgrain patterned paer.  Then I layered on a strip of red buffalo plaid across the bottom.  I also added a white die cut scallop for a little interest.  I die cut the "warm wishes" sentiment from white foam and layered a piece of white cardstock on top.  Then I adhered that to my card panel.  I stamped out this cute little bear, added the sweater elements, and colored him up with my Copics.  I used the coordinating die to cut him out and adhered him to the panel.  To finish it all off, I scattered several die cut snowflakes around the card.  Such a simple design, but I really like how it turned out!  

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great day!

Avery Elle Peek-a-Boo Scary Pals

Hello!  I'm so excited to share this very fun and very whimsical card using the NEW Peek-A-Boo Scary Pals from Avery Elle!  For my card, I used some patterned paper and layered it together for my background panel.  Then I used a retired polaroid frame die from My Favorite Things to cute a white photo frame.  I mounted that on fun foam to give it some dimension and built my scene within the opening.  I used various dies to create this city-scape and then added my monsters and car in front of that with some foam tape.  I added my sentiment to the bottom right hand corner and finished the card with some balloons in various colors.

For my card, I decided to create a rainy scene.  I chose some "rain" themed patterned papers, colored my images to match, and fussy cut them out.  Then I die cut some green bushes, and a grey sidewalk out of solid cardstock.  I layered those on top of some rain-drop patterned papers and popped my images on top with some foam tape.  Then I stamped my sentiment on a die cut cloud and added it to the sky with a few other clouds.  A strip of die cut grass and a kite die cut finish the card off, creating a fun little rainy scene.

MFT Card Design Superstar Contest (The Whole Herd)

Hello!  Hope you are having a wonderful Monday!  Today, I'm here sharing a card I made for the My Favorite Things Card Design Superstar Contest!  Be sure to hop over there and check out all the fabulous creations that have already been submitted!  So many gorgeous cards!!!  If you're interested in throwing your hat into the ring, there's still time!  The contest ends this Thursday! 

 

For my card, I knew I wanted to create something over-the-top, but I just couldn't decide which stamp set to use.  There are so many fabulous choices and I certainly own my fair share of MFT stamps and dies.  So, as I was flipping through my choices, I got the idea to use all of them!  Ok, not really, because I own way more MFT stamps than what you see here, but I did decide to create a little group photo featuring MFT characters from today and years passed.  First I chose a few to stamp and then I masked those off and stamped some more.  Then I masked those off and stamped some more.  What you see here is the result.  A fun little group photo!  I colored the images up with Copic markers, added a couple of tags from the Blueprints 1 Dienamics set and stamped my sentiment in the top left-hand corner.  The sentiment is from the You Gnome Me set. 

 

 

Here's a side view:

 

 

For the inside of the card, I stamped the little cow from the Whole Herd set and used the sentiment from that set as well.  I masked off the Happy Birthday part and just used the bottom portion.  It seemed fitting given the theme of the card. 

 

 

You can find all the sets I used below along with the Copic colors I used to color this scene.  Thank you so much for stopping by and wish me luck!

Little Gnome

 

Hello!  Just wanted to share a simple little card I made using the MFT You Gnome Me set.  I've actually had this set for quite some time, but just hadn't used it.  I love gnomes so when I saw this set, I just knew I had to HAVE it!  It's just so darn cute! 

 

 

I wanted to keep my card pretty simple so I chose some cute garden paper, colored my little gnome to match, and added some little flags.
