Happy Halloween

I seem to be in the Halloween card-making mode lately.  I have to admit that Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year so today I'm sharing another fun Halloween card.

This cute monster is Digi Franky from Digi Box Designs. I colored this cutie and  all his candy with copics and then diecut the image with a stitched circle die.  The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn.  I used a white gel pen on some of the candy and then added a few enamel dots. 

Thanks so much for stopping by!  

Hugs, Anita

Have A Great Birthday

I thought I would pop on here and share a fun birthday card today.

I have had this adorable stamp Say Yes To Donuts for awhile but this is the first chance I've had to ink it up.  Love the cute images and sentiments in this set.  I colored this cute little girl and donut with copics and then diecut the image using the coordinating die.  I used some Doodlebug Design paper on the card and added a few sparkly sequins.  I followed the sketch from the current Little Tangles Challenge.

Copics used:

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

Have A Boo-Tiful Day

Good morning!  I hope you're having a wonderful week.  Today I'm sharing another fun Halloween card.

This not-so-scary image is Digi Spooky from Digi Box Designs. I colored this cute ghost and tombstone with copics and then diecut the image with the Stitched Square Die from Your Next Stamp.  The stars and sentiment banner were cut using some Die-namics from My Favorite Things.

Toasty Greetings

I managed to get one more card done for the MFT 2016 Card Design Superstar challenge! 

I mixed a couple of MFT's cutest sets.  The snowman, penguin, and fire are from the BB Toasty Greetings set and the deer, bunny, and bird are from the Sweet Forest Friends set.  

I stamped the sentiment on a piece of watercolor paper, heat embossed it, and then sponged distress inks for the wintery sky.  I used the Die-namics Snow Drifts to cut a snowbank and adhered it to the cardfront.  I colored all the images with copics and then diecut them using the coordinating Die-namics dies.  I used a black glaze pen on all of the eyes and used a white gel pen to add the polka-dots to the penguin's hat.  I used my Wink of Stella clear glitter pen on the fire and then added Glossy Accents to the snowman's coat buttons.  I love the way this little scene turned out!   

Thanks so much for stopping by.

I Will Always Be Here For You

Good morning!  I debated on entering the MFT 2016 Card Design Superstar challenge.  There are so many gorgeous cards that have been submitted but I figured I might as well give it a go.  I'm hoping to maybe slide in one more card before the challenge closes. 

I think this sweet BB Adorable Elephants is one of my favorite MFT sets - I just love these cute elephants!  I colored the elephant and kite with copics and then diecut them using the Die-namics BB Adorable Elephants dies.  I cut a piece of watercolor paper and used distress inks to create the sky.  I used the smallest die from the Die-namics Circle Spinner Channels to create the slider area for the kite.  I used one of the Spin & Slide Discs on the kite - these handy discs make it so easy to create slider cards.  I used the Die-namics Rolling Hills die to cut the white fence from cardstock and to cut the grassy hill from the County Fair Plaid Paper Pack.  Then I added a frame around the little scene using the Die-namics Stitched Rectangle Scallop Frame.  

There's still some time to enter the contest but it ends tonight so you need to act quickly.  You can find all the challenge details here.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a great day!

Wishing You Brighter Days

Good morning!  Today I'm sharing a card I made awhile back but never got around to posting on my blog.

This cute little girl is Lucy's Flowers from the Sasayaki Glitter Digital Stamps etsy shop.  There are tons of adorable images in her etsy shop so be sure to stop by and check them out!  I colored this sweetie with copics and cut her out using the Stitched Rectangle Die from Your Next Stamp.  I used some fun Doodlebug Design plaid paper for my card and added some clear sequins for some sparkle.

Thank you so much for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day!

Happy Fall Y'All

Good morning!  So I guess fall is on it's way whether I'm ready for it or not.  I actually love fall ... except that it signals the end of summer.  Anyway, I thought I'd share a fall card featuring a sweet little scarecrow.

This cute scarecrow is from the Scarecrows clear stamp from Pink and Main.  There are a couple of adorable scarecrows, accessory images, and fun sentiments included in this set so be sure to go check it out.  I colored the scarecrow and crow with copics and diecut them with the Scarecrow Dies.  I added some polka-dots on one of the patches with a white gel pen and used my Wink of Stella clear glitter pen on the overall buttons.  I used a black glaze pen on the scarecrow eyes and the bird's eyes, and then applied some Glossy Accents to the bird's beak and claws.  I used some colorful Doodlebug Design papers on my card and finished it with a few of their matte sprinkle dots.  If you live in my area you can find all the supplies to make this card at The Paper Cottage.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

The Challenge #78 - Inspiration Challenge

Good morning friends!  Today I'm sharing a card I made for our new challenge over at Always Playing With Paper's The Challenge.

Our challenge this week is an inspiration challenge and we have a beautiful picture to inspire you.  I stamped the pineapple from SugarPea Designs' Pineapple Paradise and then diecut it using the SugarCuts - Pineapple Paradise die.  The awesome sentiment is also from that stamp set.  I sponged some blue ink on the cardstock panel and adhered the pineapple with some foam dots.  I used Your Next Stamp's Stripe-Tastic Edge stamp to add the pink stripes at the bottom of the panel.  I added a few sequins to add some sparkle to my card.

Be sure to stop by The Challenge to see the fabulous projects by the rest of the DT.  I hope you find some time to play along in the challenge.

Good morning!  I hope you have plans for a fabulous and fun weekend!  Today I'm sharing a card I made for the new challenge over at Always Playing With Paper's The Challenge.  Each week we have a different type of challenge and this week it's a color challenge.  I hope you play along!

I used this fun LLD Soda Pop stamp set from My Favorite Things.  I used distress inks to watercolor my background.  I diecut the soda bottles with the companion Die-namics LLD Soda Pop Bottles and sponged distress inks on the bottles.  The bottle labels were stamped using cute stamps from this same set.  There are some really cute sentiments in this stamp set too.  I added a few sequins to give the card a little sparkle.

Enjoy Your Day

Good morning friends.  Since my mojo is still missing I'm sharing another card that I made awhile back but haven't posted here on my blog.  I made this card while I was on the Splitcoaststampers Dirty Dozen DT.  I'm so glad I've got some of these cards to share while I wait for my creative juices to kick in again!

This cute image is Gardening Phoebe from Your Next Stamp.  This set includes lots of adorable images and the sweetest sentiments!  I colored the images with copics and then diecut them with the coordinating die set.  I cut the blue polka-dot paper with the Stitched Rectangle Die and then used a Spellbinders circle die to cut the opening.  I sponged some color in the circle opening and then added the little flowers.  

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day!

Good morning everyone!  Our team took a break over the summer and we're back today starting off with a sketch challenge.  We've moved our challenges to Saturdays and I hope you can join us this week at Always Playing With Paper's The Challenge.

I used the adorable BB Beary Special Birthday set from My Favorite Things.  This set has so many cute images and sentiments!  I colored the image with copics and then diecut it using the Die-namics BB Beary Special Birthday.  I used the Stitched Rectangle Die from Your Next Stamp to cut my dp.  I used a black glaze pen on the bear's eyes and nose and used my Wink of Stella Clear Glitter pen on the gift and balloon.  I added a few sparkly sequins to finish my card.

What's New?

Good morning!  I made this card awhile back but never got around to posting it on my blog so I thought I'd share it today.

This sweet image is Freedom from Sassy Cheryl's Stamps.  If you're not familiar with Cheryl's work be sure to stop by her shop ... her digi stamps are awesome!  I colored this stamp with copics and added a few enamel dots.  I always seem to be at a loss when it comes to embellishing male cards so I thought I would just leave it clean and simple.
