Whimsy Card

I am back!! Got to finally make up another card with this adorable image from Whimsy stamps from the Cottage Cuties Series. I have to admit I tend to just color and then my images just sit in a pile and it take me so much longer to actually get them into a card.

I colored the image with my Copics and used paper from my stash. The sentiment is from a Make it Crafty Stamp set I have.

TGF-Color/Photo Inspiration

Happy Tuesday. Sorry for the sporadic posting but life is actually running pretty smoothly but busy over here. I saw the recent challenge over at The Greeting Farm and decided to ink up one of my retired images I have in my collection. This one is 80s Anya....isn't she a cutey.

I used the MME paper from my stash and my MFT dies to make the arch that Anya is in. The sentiment is from my sticker stash I have. Of course the image is colored with my Copics thought this was the last card I made with my old E11 which I have put to rest since it keep globbing up on me. I tried to clean them but to no avail so had a Hobby Lobby trip with a coupon to get a E11. I also used the lovely and sparkly paper, Cryogen White, that I won via the CMC challenge from Paper Temptress...now this paper I am liking.

I will be entering this one into the following challenges:

Sketch and Dies-based on their sketch
Divas by Design-Rubber Stamps Only

My kiddos Valentines'-Card in a Box

So many of you may know, my princesses are all in elementary school and still enjoy when I do a craft project for them. Now this one involves NO Coloring and gasp not a traditional card lol.

Considering my girls are still young they still love the cutesy stuff so this was the perfect time to whip out the Cricut. All you need is for this project is a trusty Scor-Pal and what embellishments you want.

Last night I decided to the try a new technique I have been seen on the internet which is a Card in a box. I saw this on Youtube via Serene Stamper but actually prefer the written instructions for doing this which is really pretty simple. Here is the link if you want to try it yourself. http://www.serenestamper.com/search/label/Card%20in%20a%20Box
