A Koality Friend

Good morning friends!  Today I'm sharing a card featuring a stamp set from Paperie Ink's latest release.

These adorable koala bears are from the Pure Koality stamp set.  I made a slimline card that measures 3.5" x 8.5".  I stamped the images on Neenah cardstock, ran them through my ScanNCut, and colored them with copics.  I used a black glaze pen on their eyes and added Nuvo Crystal Glaze to their noses.

I used a slimline die from Crafty Meraki to diecut the dome shapes in the floral paper.  I sponged Speckled Egg Distress Oxide Ink on bristol card to place behind the diecut cardstock.  I stamped one of the sentiments from the stamp set and then added a diecut word to finish the sentiment.  I adhered the images and tiny little heart embellishments directly to my card.

Copics:

Koala - W3, W1, W00, N8, N6; E00

Cups - R20, R30, R00; YG63, YG61

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a wonderful week!

Crafty Meraki - I Just Heard It's Your Baa-thday!

Hello friends!  Today I'm sharing a card I made for an Instagram Collaboration Hop between Crafty Meraki and Newton's Nook Designs.

These cute little sheep are from the Baa stamp set.  I stamped the sheep on Neenah cardstock, colored them with copics, and diecut them using the coordinating Baa Die Set.  I made a slimline card that measures 3.5" x 8.5".  I used the Crafty Meraki View From My Window Slimline Die to diecut the pink checked pattern paper.  I used the Grassy Edges Stencil and the Mini Cloud Edges Stencil to add the grass and sky behind the diecut openings.  

I heat embossed the sentiment on dark grey cardstock with white embossing powder.  I adhered the diecut frame and sheep with foam tape and then I adhered the sentiment strips onto the card.  Lastly, I added a few tiny heart embellishments from my stash.

Copics:

Sheep - C5, C3, C1, C0, C00; E01, E00, E000

I'm Glad We're Friends

Hello friends!  Today I'm sharing a card I made for the My Favorite Things Color Challenge 167. 

I used two of the sweet images from the Snuggle Bunnies stamp set.  I think this stamp set is retired because I couldn't find it in their shop but hopefully they'll bring it back in a Vault release some day.  I colored the bunny and bear with copics and diecut them using the coordinating dies.

I used the Blueprints Dienamics 27 to diecut the stitched scalloped rectangle.  I used the Mini Cloud Edges Stencil with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink to create the clouds.  I used the Grassy Edges Stencil with Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide Ink to create the grassy area.  I stamped one of the sentiments from the set and then adhered the critters with foam tape.

Copics:

Bunny and Bear - E55, E53, E51, E50; E02, E00

Shirt - BG05, BG01, B000; YG17, YG13, YG01

We'll Always Flock Together

Good morning friends!  Today I'm sharing a card featuring a stamp set from Paperie Ink's latest release.

These cute little seagull friends are from the new Mine Mine Mine stamp set.  There are lots of different seagulls, along with accessories and fun sentiments.   There are five new stamp sets over in the Paperie Ink shop so stop by and check them out!

I made a slimline card measuring 3.5" x 8.5".  I cut a piece of bristol card, sponged it with Wild Honey and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide Inks, and adhered it to my card.  I diecut some waves from bristol card and sponged them with Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Ink.  I smooshed the same ink onto a matt, thinned it with water, and spattered it over the waves with a small paintbrush.  I adhered the back wave directly to the card and after stamping the sentiment, I adhered the front wave with foam tape for dimension.  I also diecut a small sandy slope from bristol and sponged it with Tea Die Distress Oxide Ink.  I spattered it with thinned brown acrylic paint and once dry, adhered it directly to the front wave. 

I stamped all the images on Neenah cardstock, ran them through my ScanNCut, and colored them with copics.  I used a black glaze pen on the seagulls' eyes.  I adhered all the seagulls and pilings between the two waves with foam tape.

We Have A Birthday!

I diecut a circle from bristol card, sponged it with distress oxide inks, and spattered it with white acrylic paint to create a galaxy.  I adhered the galaxy directly to my card and then adhered the flag banners with foam tape.  I also adhered the astronaut with foam tape.

Spectacularly Magical

Good morning friends!  Today I'm sharing a card that features a new digital stamp by Streamside Studios.

This adorable dino-corn is from the Dino-Corns Digital Stamp Set.  There are three different dino-corn images and lots of fabulous sentiments included in the set.  It's perfect for so many different occasions, even birthdays!  

I made a mini slimline card that measures 3.5" x 6.5".  I used a cloud stencil and Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Ink to create the pink clouds.  I also sponged the ink onto a piece of cardstock and diecut 5 small hearts.  I printed the dino-corn on Neenah cardstock, ran it through my ScanNCut, and colored it with copics.  I adhered the dino-corn with foam tape for dimension.  I adhered the small hearts directly to my card and added Nuvo Crystal Glaze to make the hearts shine.

These adorable images are from the new Deep Down stamp set.  There are lots of different snorkeling critters along with accessories and sentiments.  They're perfect for making fun summer cards!  My family enjoys spending lots of time swimming at our favorite lake so I fell in love with this stamp set as soon as I saw it!

I made a slimline card measuring 3.5" x 8.5".  I diecut a scalloped rectangle from bristol and sponged it with Chipped Sapphire, Blueprint Sketch, Peacock Feathers, and Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide Inks.  I spattered it with water and once it was dry I adhered it to my card.  I sponged Tea Dye onto bristol card, diecut it, and spattered it with both white and brown acrylic paints.   

I stamped all the images on Neenah cardstock, ran them through my ScanNCut, and colored them with copics.  I used a black glaze pen on their eyes and added Nuvo Crystal Glaze to their goggles, snorkel tubes, an the bottle.  

I attached most of the images with foam tape but glued the starfish and bottle directly to the card.
