Hello sweet friends. Have you been enjoying your weekend? We're having beautiful weather and I'm trying to enjoy it while it lasts. Today is my last post as a guest designer for Inky Antics. I want to thank Jackie for putting up with me for the past month lol! I actually have two cards to share today.
This sweet bear is from the 11083MC Pampered Benton Clear Set and you can find him over in the Inky Antics shop. I colored Benton with copics and colored pencils and used Glossy Accents on his nose. I applied Star Dust Stickles on the bubbles and then added some buttons to sort of imitate the bubbles floating around. I embossed the background with my Tiny Bubbles embossing folder and added a bow to finish off my card.
Here's what the entire clear set looks like. I love that their clear sets include the perfect sentiments to use with these adorable stamps. And guess what? That sweet Jackie is going to give away this stamp set ... well, not THIS one because I've used it ... but she's going to give away a new, unused set lol! All you have to do is stop by the Inky Antics Blog and leave a comment.
And here's the second card I'm sharing today. This little cutie is from the 11081MC Aviator Benton Clear Set. Once again, I colored Benton with copics and colored pencils and used Glossy Accents on his nose. I love shiny animal noses, what can I say? Again, the sentiment is included with the clear set and I thought this one was perfect for this image.
Here's what this clear set looks like. You may remember that I used this set earlier this month to make this card. Now don't forget to stop by the Inky Antics Blog for a chance to win the Pampered Benton Clear Set.
Thank you for stopping by.
Hugs, Anita

Hello friends. I hope you're enjoying your weekend. I'm hoping to get lots of stamping done this weekend, how about you?
Today I have a card using A Gift For You, one of the new Christmas digis available over at Funky Kits. Isn't he a cutie pie? I colored him with copics and colored pencils and then added Star Dust Stickles on the little tree ornaments, his hat, and a couple of the gifts. I added a bow with a jinglebell. I don't normally add bows to male cards but I figured since this card features a little boy I could get away with it. The stars were cut with a Spellbinders die and the snowflake corner is from a Memory Box die. One more Christmas card done - yay me!
Thank you for stopping by.
Hugs, Anita

Hello to all of you. Well I've got another Christmas card to share today. I hope you're not already tired of seeing Christmas cards. They are some of my favorites to make so I never get tired of seeing them out in blogland ;)
This beautiful image is Christmas Angel by Saturated Canary. I love this image and I'm sure I'll probably use her a few more times this year. She's colored with copics and colored pencils. I painted Creative Inspirations Paints' Fairy Dust on her wings to give them a pretty shimmer and I used Resplendence Angel Dust Fine Glitter on the Christmas ornaments. I added some pearls, glittered berries, ribbon, and a bell. The sentiment can be found over at Funky Kits. This is my last project as a member of the Creative Inspirations Paints design team, but it certainly won't be my last project using their fabulous products. Be sure to stop by and check out their paints, glitters, and embossing powders.
Thank you for stopping by.
Hugs, Anita

Hello sweet friends and happy Monday! A really quick post from me as I have lots of errands to run today.
I have an adorable little girl to share with you today. This sweetie is Apple Lizzie by Whimsie Doodles. Don't you just love all that hair and her cute little school outfit? She's colored with copics and colored pencils and I used a black glaze pen on her jacket buttons. The sentiment is from the CC Designs School Logos set. The paperclip was cut with an old QuicKutz die and then I added a few buttons.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a great day!
Hugs, Anita

Hello to all of you. Hope you're having nice weather wherever you are. We've had some cold & rainy weather come through. Woke up this morning and it's verrry cold outside :-( OK, enough complaining about the weather since there's nothing I can do about it anyway lol!
I have another Inky Antics card to share today. I was asked to be their guest designer for September and the so-sweet Jackie let me select some fabulous stamps to work with. Today I have used the Decorating Snowman Honeypop Clear Set to make my card. I colored this chubby snowgirl with copics and colored pencils and added lots of Glamour Dust for sparkle. The snowflakes are from the My Favorite Things Die-namic Let It Snowflake die, and I also added Glamour Dust and a little pearl. Once again, the sentiment is part of the set, which is just one of the many things I love about their clear sets - lots of cute sentiments are included!
And here's a picture of the inside of the card. Again, I've used copics, pencils, and Glamour Dust on the snowman. The honeypop ornament is really simple - just stamp the ornament image on the honeypop, cut it out, and apply it to your card. If you look closely you will see that my ornament topper is crooked :-( I made the mistake of stamping my topper after I had applied the honeypop so I had a hard time trying to line it up properly. I should have stamped the topper before applying the honeypop paper (lesson learned). If you want to know the proper way to use honeypop on your cards, be sure to stop by the Inky Antics Blog where Jackie shares a little tutorial. This was the first time I've used the honeypop but it certainly won't be the last. Inky Antics offers lots of honeypop clear sets and you can find them all here.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Hugs, Anita

Hello sweet crafting friends. I hope you're having a fabulous weekend so far. Today I'm sharing a card I made for the My Favorite Things October Guest Designer Contest.
This sweet little girl is Pure Innocence Love You With All My Heart - isn't she adorable? I followed their sketch and stamped her on the Die-namics Tag, You're It die and then colored her with copics and colored pencils. I added some seam binding and a button to the top of the tag. The pretty border was made using the Die-namics Dainty Lace Border die. I finished my card with a couple of hearts and a little button.
Here's the sketch for the My Favorite Things Stamps October Guest Designer challenge. Be sure to stop by and check out the details of their contest because there's still plenty of time to enter.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful weekend.
Hugs, Anita

Hello friends. I've been seeing my mega-talented friend Amanda make such gorgeous cards with the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps and decided I needed to add a few to my stash ;) So, I received my yummy rubber in the mail a few days ago and made a card to enter in their challenge this week.
This sweet image is from the Birthday Lulu stamp set. If you follow my blog, you know I love me some Cheryl Alger images lol! So anyway, Lulu is colored with copics and colored pencils and I used a little bit of Glamour Dust to give her some sparkle. All birthday girls should sparkle, shouldn't they? I followed the sketch over on the Kraftin' Kimmie Blog and added a lace flower with a button.
Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
