SugarPea Designs - Celebrate

Good morning everyone!  Today I'm sharing a card I made for an inspiration post on the SugarPea Designs Blog.

I used the new SugarCuts - Birthday Journal Card to make a quick and easy birthday card today.  I simply die cut the balloons, strings, and bow from cardstock and adhered them to some pretty paper from the It's A Celebration Paper Pad.  I added some sequins from the Sea Spray Sparkly Shaker Selection and my card was finished! 

Be sure to stop by the SugarPea Designs Blog for more inspiration from the DT.

Your Next Stamp - Sketch and Color Challenge #42

Happy Friday everyone!  Today I'm sharing a card I made for our new Sketch and Color Challenge over on the Your Next Stamp Blog.

I used the adorable Mini Snorkel Fun Fishy stamp.  I colored the fish with copics and then diecut him using the coordinating die.  I used the Stitched Rectangle Die to cut the green pattern paper and a watercolor panel.  I used distress inks to make the watery background.  I cut a piece of vellum with the Scallop Edge Die and then used white embossing powder to add a sentiment from the Keepin' It Reel stamp set.  I added some Glossy Accents to the goggles and then added a few sparkly gumdrops to finish my card. 

To enter the challenge you need to follow the sketch and/or the inspiration photo.  Be sure to stop by the Your Next Stamp Blog to read the challenge details and to see the fabulous projects by the rest of the DT!

On a sad note, this is my last post for Your Next Stamp.  I'm stepping down from the design team so I can spend more time with my family this summer.  I want to thank Karen for having me on her team for the last couple of years.  Karen (and the rest of the team) are amazing and I've enjoyed this team so much! 

Thank you so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a fabulous weekend!

Oceans Of Love

Good morning everyone!  Today I'm sharing a card that I made for The Greeting Farm.   

I love mermaids so I used the sweet Sealia to make a shaker card.  I colored her with copics and then fussy-cut her.  I cut a piece of watercolor paper and used distress inks to create a watery background.  I adhered Sealia to the watercolor paper and glued a few sequins on the background.  Then I placed a sheet of acetate over the watercolor panel and used silver washi tape to tape three sides of the acetate to the watercolor panel.  I added some sequins to the "pouch" that I created and then used washi tape to close the top of the pouch.  Then I simply adhered the shaker pouch to the front of my card.  This is a really quick and easy way to make a shaker card.

Copics Used:

Skin - E13, E11, E21, E00, E000, R20

Hair - E29, E27, E23, E21

Body - YR18, YR09, YR07, YR04, YR02

Shells - BG18, BG57, BG53, Y18, Y15, Y13, Y11, R14, R12, R11, R00

Distress Inks Used:

Peacock Feathers and Mermaid Lagoon

Are you signed up to receive The Greeting Farm newsletter?  If so, you may have already seen my card in their most recent "Here's A Tip" newsletter.  If you haven't signed up yet, be sure to do so.  Anyway, I thought I'd pop on here and share my card with those that may not have already seen it.

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

Birthday Elephant

Good morning everyone!  Today I'm sharing a card I made for the Camp Create Wonderful Watercolor challenge over on the My Favorite Things Blog.

I used this cute elephant and balloons from the BB Adorable Elephants stamp set.  I cut a panel of watercolor paper and then used some distress inks and water to create the inky background.  I stamped the elephant and balloons on watercolor paper and then used distress inks to color them.  I diecut them using the coordinating Die-namics BB Adorable Elephants.  I diecut the sentiment with the Die-namics Fishtail Flags Layers STAX.  I adhered the elephant, balloons, and sentiments using foam dots for some dimension.  Then I added a few sequins to give my card some sparkle. 

Yay!!!  I earned the Wonderful Watercolor badge! 

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you have a fabulous weekend!

Good morning everyone!  Today I'm sharing a card I made for the Camp Create's Delightful Die Cutting over on the My Favorite Things Blog.

I used the adorable bear and trees from the Forest Friends stamp set.  I colored the bear and trees with copics and then die cut them using the coordinating Die-namics Forest Friends.  I used the Die-namics Wonky Stitched Rectangle STAX to cut my card front and then used the Die-namics Stitched Circle STAX die to cut the opening.  I sponged some blue ink on my card and then I used the Die-namics Fresh Cut Grass to die cut the grass.  I adhered the front panel to my card using foam tape and then adhered the cute bear in the opening.  I used the Die-namics Fishtail Flags Layers STAX to die cut the sentiment and then finished my card by adhering the trees and sentiment to the front of the card. 

I earned the Delightful Die Cutting badge!  I hope to find some time to play along and earn some more of the badges over the next few days.

Your Next Stamp

Good morning everyone!  Today I'm sharing a card I made for our Summer Fun Series over on the Your Next Stamp Blog.

I used the Vacation Phoebe stamp set for my card.  I colored the sweet little Phoebe and her passport with copics and then diecut them using the coordinating dies.  I used the Stitched Rectangle Die to cut a white cardstock panel for the front of my card.  Then I used the Circles with Stitching and Piercing Marks Die to cut a piece of watercolor paper.  I used distress inks to color the circle and then flicked on some water to create some lighter spots in the ink.  Once dry, I stamped the Island Silhouette onto the watercolor paper.  I used the Fancy Aloha die to add the sentiment.  Lastly, I added a few sparkly gumdrops to finish my card.
