A Pink Dinosaur

Hello everyone!  Today I'm sharing a card that I posted over on The Greeting Farm Blog.

I used some of the cute stamps from the How Rawr You? clear stamp set.  I don't know about you but I typically think of male cards when I see dinosaur stamps.  But then I remembered that my little granddaughter loves dinosaurs, so I thought I'd make a fun shaker card for her.  I colored the dinosaur and trees with copics and then diecut them with the coordinating How Rawr You? Die Cuts. 

Copics Used:

Dinosaur - RV66, RV55, RV63, RV52, RV10, V15, V12

Trees - YG17, YG03, YG01

 

Thanks for stopping by!

Keeping Christmas - Season's Greetings

Welcome to the Keeping Christmas Inspiration Hop!  If you are looking for some inspiration for Christmas cards, you have come to the right place.  Our team has decided to do a monthly Keeping Christmas Inspiration Hop! We will be sharing Christmas creations on the 25th of each month.

The whole idea is to have some Christmas cards and projects in our stash all ready to go for December 2018!

 

 

I stamped an adorable snowman from Gerda Steiner Designs' Snowman Friends clear stamp set and colored it with my copics.  I added some Glamour Dust to the hat for a bit of sparkle.  I fussy-cut the snowman then used a black glaze pen on the snowman's eyes and Nuvo Crystal glaze on the buttons and jingle bell.  I cut a circle of watercolor paper, applied distress ink, spattered it with water, and adhered this to my cardbase.  I used the My Favorite Things Stitched Circle Frames Die-namics to cut the window frame and then adhered acetate and added sequins to make the shaker.  I diecut a snowflake, covered it with Glamour Dust, and added a red enamel dot to the center.  I adhered the snowman and snowflake to the shaker frame.

 

Copics Used:

Snowman - BV20, BG70, R20, R00

Snowman Nose - E08, YR18, YR14, YR12

Snowman Hat - YG17, YG03, YG01

Jinglebell - Y26

Scarf - R59, R46, R24, R22

Buttons - C7

Yay! Yay! Yay! It's Your Birthday!

Good morning!  Today I'm sharing a card featuring an adorable Birdie Brown stamp set from My Favorite Things.

I fell in love with these cute BB Birthday Chicks stamps as soon as I saw them.  Of course, I always love everything Birdie Brown lol.  I started by using the Die-namics Gift Box Cover-Up to cut the window frame from cardstock.  The pretty papers behind the windows are from the Sweet Celebration Paper Pack ... I love the bright colors and pretty patterns in this pad.  I colored the birds and balloons with copics and then diecut them with the coordinating dies.  I used acetate, foam tape and sequins to create a shaker card.  I used a black glaze pen on the birds' eyes.  I used a white gel pen to create the white dots and highlights on the balloons, bird cheeks, and cupcakes.  I used a Wink of Stella clear glitter pen on the balloons to give them a little bit of sparkle.

Copics used:

Yellow - Y15, Y13, Y11, Y00

Orange - YR18,YR14, YR12

Blue - BG05, BG01, B000

Green - YG03, YG25, YG21

Pink - RV55, RV63, RV52

Brown - E31

I Love You

Good morning!  Today I'm sharing a card featuring an adorable stamp set from Neat & Tangled.

I bought this stamp set intending to make some Valentine cards but time got away from me.  So I figured instead of an actual Valentine, I would create a card that can be sent any time you want to let someone special know you're thinking of them.  This cute image is from the Beavers Eh stamp set.  If you haven't seen this set, be sure to check it out ... lots of cute beavers and sweet sentiments too.  I colored this girl beaver and her little mouse with copics and then added some Nuvo Crystal Glaze to her nose and teeth for some shine.  I used a white gel pen to make some polka-dots on her bow and skirt, and then added a few sequins for some sparkle.  I also sponged some distress ink on the cardbase before adhering the beaver with foam tape.  I used a black glaze pen on the mouse's eyes.

Thanks so much for stopping by. 

Hugs, Anita

The Greeting Farm - February Release & Blog Hop

 

It’s the 15th, and that means the new FEBRUARY Stamps are NOW available for purchase in The Greeting Farm Store. Today, we released 3 new sets: The Snuggle Is Real, Hey Pretty Kitty, and How Rawr You! All of the new stamps are perfect for your cards, journals/planners and so many awesome crafty projects! To celebrate we are having a BLOG HOP, where one lucky fan will take home all 3 sets!! Pretty awesome, right?

I used the The Snuggle Is Real and Hey Pretty Kitty stamps and dies for my card.  I colored these adorable girls and their furry friends with copics.  I added Nuvo Crystal Glaze to the eyeglasses.  I used a black glaze pen on the dogs' eyes and a white gel pen to make polka dots on the pink blouse.  I used distress oxide inks to create the inky background and then flicked on water to create the spots.  I adhered the images with foam tape and then added a couple of clouds and a sun diecut.
