Sending Hugs

Good morning friends!  Today I'm sharing a Valentine card I made to send to a sweet friend.

This adorable image is from My Favorite Things and it's called Pure Innocence - Love You With All My Heart.  It's retired and no longer in their shop but they have lots of other really sweet Pure Innocence stamps to choose from.  I inked my card with Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide Ink and spattered it with water.  I added a strip of pattern paper and cardstock along the bottom of my card.  I colored the image with copics, fussy-cut it, and then adhered it with foam tape.  I used a black glaze pen on her eyes and I added highlights using a white gel pen.  I added a few diecut hearts covered in Nuvo Crystal Glaze.

Copics:

Skin - E13, E11, E21, E00, E000, R32, R30

Hair - E37, E99, E97, YR21

Dress - BG13, BG11, BG10

Good evening friends!  I just wanted to pop on here to share a slimline Valentine card I made using stamps from Paperie Ink. 

These cute critters are from the Crafty Friends stamp set.  There are lots of crafty critters in this stamp set and I thought it would be perfect for a Valentine card.

I cute my card base from white cardstock to measure 3.5" x 8.5".  I used the Scalloped Slimline With Hearts Landscape die to cut the pattern paper and red hearts.  I colored the panda and bunny with copics, fussy-cut them, and adhered them to the card with foam tape for dimension.  

Copics:

Panda - C3, C1

Bunny - E53, E51, E50; E02, E00

Letters - RV55, RV52, RV10; R29, R27, R24

Love You To The Moon & Back

You Warm My Heart

Good morning friends!  I'm so excited to be guest designing for Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios. 

This adorable digital image is Penguin Hug.  I love penguins and thought this card would be so perfect for a Valentine card.  I printed the image on Neenah cardstock and diecut it using a stitched rectangle die.  I colored the image with copics and then fussy cut a mask to place over it while I did some distress ink sponging.  I sponged around the penguins with Peacock Feathers and Blueprint Sketch Distress Inks and then spattered it with both white and dark blue watercolor inks.  I used a black glaze pen on the penguin and chick eyes. 

Copics:

Penguins - C5, C3, C1; Y38, Y35

Scarf - B37, B34, B32; BG05, BG01, B000

I'm So Glad That We're Friends

Good morning friends!  Today I'm sharing a Valentine card that I made to send to some sweet friends.

This adorable image is from the Joyful Heart Bears stamp set by My Favorite Things.  I think this stamp has been discontinued because I couldn't find it in their shop.  I used the Perfect Bricks Stencil from Honey Bee Stamps and Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Ink to create the background on my card.  The sentiment is from the Friends Forever stamp set by Pretty Pink Posh.  I colored the stamped image with copics and fussy-cut him.  I used a Wink Of Stella Clear Glitter pen on the hearts on his sweater and in the bucket.  I adhered the bear with foam tape for dimension and then added some red heart embellishments.

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

Hugs, Anita

Bring On The Snow

Good morning everyone!  Today I'm sharing a card featuring one of the newer stamp sets from Paperie Ink.

These cute skiing critters are from the Snow Good stamp set.  While I'm definitely not a skier, I do live in frosty Ohio and we've already had a few snowfalls this year.  This stamp set is perfect for creating all your winter cards!  I decided to make a slimline card so I could feature several of these sweet little animals.  My card measures 3.5" x 8.5" and is made from red cardstock.  I adhered some blue snowflake design paper and then adhered a snow slope using foam adhesive for dimension.  Next I added three frames that I diecut from the same red cardstock, and I also added some snowflakes.  

I stamped the animals on Neenah, ran them through my ScanNCut, and colored them with copics.  I used a black glaze pen on the penguin's eyes and added some Nuvo Crystal Glaze to the penguin's beak and feet and also to the fox and moose noses.  I adhered the animals with foam tape also.

Copics Used:

Fox - E08,  E15, E13, E11; E01, E000; 100; C3, C1; G99, G94, G43; R59, R37, R35

Penguin - C3, C1; YR04, Y38; B99, B97, B95, B93, B91

Moose - E55, E53, E51, E50; E01, E000; G99, G94, G43; R59,R37, R35; B97, B95, B93
