Today's card is an adorable hedgehog by the name of Pickles. He is part of the new release over at Polkadoodles. You can check him out here along with all his friends. Some are designed for Christmas but there are some for all  year too! I believe they are 40% off right now also, you have to love that. Instant savings and gratification because with digi stamps they arrive immediately!

Funny Tag

 Good Morning Everyone,

Forgot to post this fun tag I made as a Guest Designer this week over at C.R.A.F.T challenge. The theme was Christmas humorous and the sponsor was DRS Designs Rubber Stamps. I thought this was a perfect stamp to use as a gift tag. Definitely would attach to a bottle of wine. 

The little grapes, cheese and bread were cut from dies from La La Land Crafts Kit of the Month Club. And how about that cork ribbon I happen to just have on hand! I love how it came out.

Bella Bear

 Hi Everyone,

My card today is using the new release from Polkadoodles it is Bella Bear Christmas! I know can you believe we are talking about Christmas. This release also had scenes to go along with it. I have only used background scenes a handful of times, but they are a lot of fun. 

I colored this up with copics and the sky I used Distressed Ink . I added some glitter to make the snow seem like it is glistening. I love the little bird on his head ha!

Spa Gift

 Hello everyone! 

So with fall fast approaching I can't help but jump ahead to christmas! My favorite time of the year. Today's card was made using clear stamps from Jaded Blossom called Pamper Yourself. I thought how perfect to create a card to use when giving a gift card for any type of spa treatment. My girls love to get their nails done and an occasional massage! 

So I colored her up using copics and then using a die from La La Land I created the gift card pocket on the front of the card so you can add a nice message on the inside. I kept the colors rather calm spa like so to speak!

Because you care

 Hello everyone,

So I have been making cards for a while now and one of my favorite cards to make is one that just lets someone in your life know how special they are to you. We send cards for all occasions but isn't it the best to receive a card for no reason other than you are loved or thought of! Nothing like fun mail!

On that note I created this card using stamps and dies from La La Land Crafts Kit of the month. The sentiment is my own. No need to wait for a birthday to send this one! 

I colored it using copics and the papers are also from La La land travel.

Dad duty

 Hello everyone, 

Can't believe we are into June already! Which means Father's Day is coming up. I created this cutie for the dads out there who come home from work and jump right into their dad role, playing with the kids and pets! I know my husband always did this, he knew his time to rest was when they all went to bed haha!

This scene was created using digital stamps from a new release over at Polkadoodles which you can see here.  I just sized them to fit, printed them and colored them up using copics.  A nice clean and simple card that gets the message across.

Wedding vows

 Happy Sunday everyone!

Been a very busy week, I painted my ceilings in the kitchen and dining room and washed all my cabinets, WOW! I am getting old because that was a lot of work hahaha!

I did however find time to relax and create. This card I am sharing today is a digital image from ArtbyMiran that I just thought was so sweet. Again I used my copics to color this adorable couple. I added a bit of stickles to her gown because I am all about the glitter. 

I embossed white paper and layered it on a neutral color then layered the image on a coral paper. I also added at the bottom a layer of hearts that was cut out of a shimmer paper. 

Hope you enjoy!

Happy New year! Hope it will be a healthy one. 

My card today features a stamp from La La Land Crafts. I just joined their kit of the month club! I have been wanting to do that for so long....and finally was able to.
