This little cutie is from the Hello, Sunshine stamp set.  Isn't this little girl just the sweetest ever?  And there are lots of great sentiments with this set too.  I colored the image with copics and then finished it with a button and twine.  For the layout I used the SugarSketch10.  This sketch challenge is still open and you can find all the details here.

Your Next Stamp - Fun Friday Challenge

Happy Friday friends!  Today I'm sharing a card I made for the Fun Friday Challenge over on the Your Next Stamp Fun Friday Challenge Blog.  

This image is Tobi With Love, a digital image available over in the Your Next Stamp shop.  I colored the image with copics and colored pencils.  I added some polka dots to the package using white acrylic paint.  This image is actually a Christmas image but I think it works perfectly for a birthday card too.

7KCF - Lawn Fawn

Good morning everyone!  Today I'm sharing a little get well card I made for a post over on the 7KCF Blog.

This cute stamp set is Get Well Soon stamps and coordinating Get Well Soon die cuts from Lawn Fawn.  I stamped the images with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and colored them with copics.  Then I used the coordinating dies to cut them out.  I think this set makes the cutest get well cards.  Who wouldn't feel better after receiving one of these cuties?  And obviously, this was a very quick and easy card too.  You can link to the products below.

By LORi Designs - Lollipop Prue

Happy Monday everyone!  Wow, it's been almost a week since I've posted anything on this blog.  My computer had been acting up and then it finally died on me :(   I now have a new computer and a much lighter wallet!  So anyway, I have a new card to share today.

This little sweetie is Lollipop Prue and you can find her over in the By LORi Designs digi shop.  I colored her with copics and paper-pieced her dress.  I finally decided to start using some of those pretty washi tapes I've been hoarding - love the bright colors!  And of course, I had to add a few shiny sequins too.  This card was so quick and easy ... a great way to build up your stash of birthday cards!

Thank you so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a fantastic week.

Friendship is the Sweetest Flower

Good evening everyone!  I don't usually post so late in the day but my computer has been making my life difficult ... unfortunately, I think it is dying a slow death.  I've been trying to nurse it along because I really don't want to fork out a bunch of $$$ for a new one but I think I'm just going to have to go 'puter shopping this week.  Anyway, you didn't stop by to listen to me whine, did ya?  So let me share a new card with you.

This image is from the Love You Bunches stamp set by SugarPea Designs.  I often find myself reaching for this set because of all the great sentiments that are included.  I colored this sweetie with copics and cut her out using a stitched circle die.  Some twine, punched flowers, and pearls finished off my card.

Here's a photo of the entire stamp set.  Like I said, this set is so versatile and I love the sentiments! 

Thank you so much for stopping by.
