Have A Berry Happy Birthday

Hello crafty friends!  I hope your weekend is off to a great start!


I'm sharing a birthday card I made for a sweet friend.  I used images from Lawn Fawn's Berry Special, How You Bean?, and the How You Bean? Strawberries Add-On stamp sets.  I sponged the background with Spun Sugar, Twisted Citron, and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide Inks and spattered it with water.  I colored all the images with copics and fussy cut them.  I stamped the sentiment on the card and then added all the images with foam tape.  



Thanks so much for stopping by.

Monster Mash

Good morning friends!  Today I have a fun slimline card featuring one of the new releases from Paperie Ink


These funny little monsters are from the new Monster Mash stamp set.  There are lots of monsters included in this set, along with balloons, accessories, and sentiments.  I colored the images with copics and used a black glaze pen on the monster eyes.  I used a clear glitter pen on the fiery meteors to make them sparkle.  I used the coordinating Monster Mash dies to diecut all the images.

My card is a slimline card that measures 3.5" x 8.5".  I sponged Peacock Feathers, Twisted Citron, Picked Raspberry, Wilted Violet, and Carved Pumpkin Distress Oxide Inks on a panel of bristol card.  Then I sponged over the panel using Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot Distress Oxide Inks.  I spattered the panel with water and white watercolor paint.  Once dry, I adhered the panel to my card and then adhered all the images with foam tape.


I heat embossed one of the sentiments onto black cardstock and adhered it to my card.

Copics:
Monsters - BG05, BG01, B000; V06, V05, V04, V01; YG09, YG06, YG03, YG01; Y38, Y18, Y15, Y13; RV09, RV06, RV04, RV02, RV00

Hippity Hoppity

Hello friends!  I'm still frantically making Easter cards and the one I'm sharing today features products from Reverse Confetti! 

I used the Easter Cover Panel Confetti Cuts to diecut the scalloped panel.  After I lightly sponged it with Tumbled Glass and Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide Inks, I adhered it to my card.  I diecut the "happy easter" sentiment from pink pattern paper and white cardstock.  I layered the diecuts one on top of the other for some added dimension and then glued the greeting to my card.  I stamped images from both the Hippity Hoppity and Better with Friends stamp sets, colored them with copics, and diecut them.  I used a black glaze pen on the bunny's eyes and added Nuvo Crystal Glaze to the nose.  I used a white gel pen to add highlights to the bunny cheeks and flowers.  I glued the flowers directly to my card and then adhered the bunny, basket, and butterfly with foam tape.
