Love You Berry Much

Hello crafty friends!  I'm sharing a card featuring some new products from Streamside Studios!

These cute cows and strawberries are from the Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cows stamp set.  If you prefer to work with digis, you can find these images in digital format too!  I stamped the images, colored them with copics, and fussy-cut them.  My card is a mini-slimline that measures 3.5 x 6.5.  I inked the base of the card with Spun Sugar Distess Oxide Ink and then adhered a white diecut frame from Crafty Meraki over the pink panel.  I stamped a sentiment from the stamp set and then adhered all the images with foam tape.  I added some sweet little hearts from the Chocolate Covered Strawberries Sprinkle Mix.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Happy Valentine's Day

Good morning friends!  Today I'm collaborating with Gaby from the My Enchanted Colors Ko-Fi Shop!  Go to Instagram to find My Enchanted Colors and you can find her shop through the profile.

Hello crafty friends!  I've been trying to pull some unused stamps and dies from my stash and show them some crafty love!  Today I've got a sweet card featuring some products from My Favorite Things.

This adorable girl is Pure Innocence - Winter Kisses, which is no longer available in the MFT shop.  I colored her with copics and then fussy-cut her.  I used a black gel pen on her eyes and the buttons on her jacket.  I diecut a stitched rectangle and heat-embossed it with white embossing powder using the Snow Flurry Background stamp.  I inked the embossed panel with Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide Ink, fading out the color towards the bottom of the card.  I used the Frosted Alphabet Dienamics to diecut the letters for the sentiment and then I inked them with the Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide Ink also.  I adhered the sentiment to the card with liquid adhesive and I adhered the little girl with foam tape.

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

For My Sweetest Friend

Hello friends!  I have a clean and simple Valentine card to share today!

I normally don't make very many Valentines but this year I've really enjoyed creating them.  This adorable image is from the Mama Elephant stamp set To My Dearest.  There are several critters included in this set and they're perfect for lots of different occasions!  I diecut a stitched rectangle and inked it with Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Ink.  I matted it on black cardstock.  The designer paper is from my stash and I thought the stripes looked cute with the big polka-dots.  I have so many 6x6 paper pads and I'm trying to make myself use them more this year!  

I stamped the sentiment, colored it with copics, and fussy-cut it.  I applied Nuvo Crystal Glaze to the bunny's glasses and set it aside to dry.  I used a sentiment from the To My Dearest set for the letter in the envelope, and I used a sentiment from the Milkshake stamp set below the image.  Once the bunny's eyeglasses were dry, I adhered it the image to my card with foam tape and then  I added a few tiny pink hearts to finish my card.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you have an amazing day!

Warmth and Cheer!

Hello friends!  Today I'm sharing a Christmas card featuring stamps and dies from Colorado Craft Company.

I ordered the new December release from Colorado Craft Company but the release was so popular it sold out quickly and I had to wait for the re-stock.  I didn't receive my order till after Christmas but I love the adorable mugs so I decided to use them now, rather than waiting until Christmas time!  I used the Snow Flurry Background stamp from My Favorite Things to heat-emboss a 4.25" x 5.5" panel of bristol card.  I inked the panel with distress oxide ink and adhered it to my card.  I stamped the Cozy Reindeer Mug from Colorado Craft Company and colored the images with copics.  I used the coordinating dies to diecut the images.  I used a white gel pen to add highlights to the image and I applied Nuvo Crystal Glaze to the reindeer nose.  I stamped a sentiment along the bottom and then adhered the images with foam tape.

Sending A Holiday Hi

Hello crafty friends!  I'm sharing a card I made using some newer products I picked up over at My Favorite Things!

These adorable stamps are from the North Pole Pals stamp set.  This was one of the sets I picked up recently when MFT was having an amazing sale!  I used a stitched rectangle die to diecut a panel of bristol card.  I stamped the Snowflake Flurry Background stamp and then inked the panel with distress oxide ink.  I diecut a smaller stitched rectangle die from white cardstock and then used a circle die to cut a circle from the panel.  I cut a snowy slope from white cardstock and then adhered the slope and white frame to my card base with foam tape.  I colored all the images with copics and then fussy-cut them.  I used a black glaze pen on the polar bear's eyes and nose and I used Nuvo Crystal Glaze on the envelope heart.  I stamped a sentiment from the stamp set and then adhered the images with foam tape.
