Let's Chill

Good morning.  Today I'm sharing a card using an adorable stamp and die set from My Favorite Things.  

I used this cute little penguin and palm tree from the Penguins in Paradise stamp set.  I started my card by applying distress inks to a piece of watercolor paper I cut using the Stitched Mini Scallop Rectangle Stax Die-namic.  I colored the images with copics and diecut them with the coordinating die-namics.  I used a black glaze pen on the penguin's eyes.  It's (finally) starting to get hot where I live so I thought this little penguin with the popsicle would be perfect for a card today!

Thank you for stopping by.

Hugs, Anita

A Little Birdie Told Me

Happy Friday!  Today I'm sharing a sweet card using a fun stamp and die from SugarPea Designs.  I made this card ages ago but never got around to sharing it on my blog.

This cute image is from the Everyday Is Christmas stamp set.  I colored the image with copics and then diecut it using the coordinating dies.  I used the Zig Zag Stitched Circles to diecut the white cardstock circle.  I added a few enamel dots to finish my card.

The Challenge #88 - Keywords

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

Our challenge this week is a "keyword" challenge and I used the lovely Peony Bouquet stamp set from Altenew.  I started my card by using distress inks to create the blue background and then flicked some water for lighter spots.  I used the Gift Box Cover-Up Die-namic from My Favorite Things to diecut the window.  I adhered some acetate and added sequins to make a fun shaker card.  I used gold embossing powder to stamp the flower and sentiment.  I used distress inks to watercolor the flowers and then diecut them using the coordinating dies.

You can use as many of the keywords to create your card as you like.  I used all of them with the exception of birthday.  Be sure to stop by The Challenge to see what the rest of the DT created this week.  I hope you find some time to play along in the challenge.  

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs, Anita

Marker Pop Guest Designer

I'm excited to be joining the MarkerPOP design team as a guest designer today.  They have a new challenge so be sure to stop by the MarkerPOP Blog for all the details.

Their challenge theme is Summer Fun ... summer, 4th of July, picnics, camping, ice cream.  Well of course my mind went straight to popsicles, so I decided to use the adorable For You Anya by The Greeting Farm.  I started my card by stamping popsicles on a piece of cardstock and then I colored them with copics.  Then I stamped Anya and colored her with copics too.  Since my background paper seemed a little busy with all the popsicles, I kept the rest of my card clean and simple. 

Copics Used:

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

Hair - E44, E43, E42, E41, E40

Welcome, Little One

Good morning everyone!  My mojo is still missing and it's been forever since I've posted on this dusty old blog ;)  But I thought I'd pop on here today to share a card I made using stamps and dies from My Favorite Things.

This adorable koala is from the Cuddly Koalas stamp set and I thought it would be perfect for a baby card.  I colored the images with copics and then diecut them using the coordinating die-namics.  I sponged distress inks on a cardstock panel I diecut using the Stitched Basic Edges 2 Die-namics.  I used a black glaze pen on the koalas eyes and Glossy Accents on the nose.  I stamped the sentiment on banner I diecut using the Fishtail Flags Layers Stax Die-namics.  I added a few matte sprinkles to finish my card. 

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you have a fabulous week!
