Love

Good morning friends!  Today I'm sharing a Valentine card using an adorable stamp from Paperie Ink.

These little cuties are from the Many Thanks stamp set.  I used a cloud stencil and Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide Ink to create the clouds on my card.  I diecut the ground and inked it with Shabby Shutters and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide Inks.  I sponged bristol card with Picked Raspberry and Festive Berries Distress Oxide Inks and then diecut the LOVE letters and lots of tiny hearts.  I colored the foxes and wagon with copics and adhered them to my card with foam tape.  I used a black glaze pen on the foxes' eyes and noses and used a white gel pen to create tiny hearts on the fox's scarf.  I adhered the tiny hearts in the wagon, in the fox's hand, and in the sky.

Copics Used:

Fox -E08, E15, E13, E11; C3, C1; E02, E00, N08

Wagon - R29, R27, R24; N8, N6, N4

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

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

Bring On The Snow

These cute wintery images are from the Ski On stamp set.  Although we weren't skiing on Christmas Day we certainly had lots of snow falling and these two critters would have been right at home!  The night sky is a piece of pattern paper that I also spattered with white acrylic paint.  I diecut two snow slopes and inked the top edges with distress ink.  I colored all the images with copics and spattered everything with lots of acrylic paint.  I used a black glaze pen on their eyes and noses.  There are lots of other adorable critters included in this stamp set so stop by the shop and check it out!

Wishing You A Sweet Holiday Season

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

Don't you just love penguins?  I do!  These adorable penguins are from the Kebin The Penguin stamp set.  There are so many cuties in this set that are perfect for your Christmas and winter cards.  Actually, you could use these penguins year round!  The trees are from the Snow Good stamps and the sentiment is from the Sweet Christmas set.  

I made a slimline card that measures 3.5" x 8.5".  I cut a piece of white cardstock 7" x 8.5" and folded it in half to create my card base.  Next I applied distress inks to a piece of bristol card.  I spattered the bristol with water and once dry adhered it to my card base.  I cut two snow slopes and adhered them to my card.  I colored all the penguins and trees with copics.  I used a black glaze pen on the penguin eyes and I added some highlights with a white gel pen.  I added Nuvo Crystal Glaze to the penguin beaks and feet and to the star and ornaments of the first penguin.  I adhered the images with foam tape and then spattered my card with white watercolor paint.

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