Stamping Bella Birthday Card

I have been plugging away on my Birthday Card stash and decided to share another card I created with my Copics.  I pair with some paper from Echo Park. 

I decided to experiment with some of my skin colors and I used E25, E23 for this one.

Some Odd Girl Inspiration

Today I am showcasing a card I created with some of Some Odd Girl Stamps.  I forgot where I saw this layout but I thought it was so cool so I wanted to try it too.  I used my Circle die and cut a big circle out of the middle and then inserted a different patterned paper in that center.

 As usual I colored the image with my Copics.

Some Odd Girl

Today I wanted to showcase another one of my favorite images called Girlfriends Kaylee & Mae. This reminds me so much of all the great fun I have with my best friend, who I have to admit I miss a lot lately due to our distance. As usual, I colored the image with my Copics.  I used some lovely Graphic 45 paper I had in my stash and some misc punches and stamps.  My goal was to match the paper with this one. 

Now I just need to get it read to send off to my friend to let her know I am thinking of her.

Winter Blues

Today I am showcasing another Greeting Farm card I made. This time I decided to color up a card. The weather had been so wacky by me and in the beginning of the week we had frost on our windows and today it was 65.  As I think winter is coming to and end, I decided it was time for me to showcase this cutie.

This is an assortment of papers from my stash which I paired with a die-cut doily and some super 3D sentiment embellishments I got on sale.

This cutie is from the Greeting Farm and was from a special release stamps. As usual, I colored it with my Copics.  I'm pretty sure it is retired now.

Make It Crafty Card

Hello Everyone,

I have been trying my hardest this year to get some of those images and stamps inked up and my Card Stash to be restocked. So far so good on that goal. Today I am using one of the digital images I purchased from Make It Crafty for a Birthday card.

I keep it pretty simple as usual and colored the image up with my Copics. I was working with a bit of a different skin regime then usual, E13, 11, E21 and I really like it.

Tiddly Inks Card

Sometimes the good things about living in a house of sick kids is that they just want to lie in your bed with you and cough all over you. That gave me some extra time to color up some images and stay up to set up some cards.

Today I will be showcasing a card I made with a Tiddly Ink Image. I am determined to try to use every little bit of this beautiful paper pad from Graphic 45.

As usual, I colored the image with my Copics and purposely colored it to match the paper set I was working with. I will be using this for one of the friend's daughter party tomorrow.

Christmas Continues

What a whirlwind it has been lately. Though Christmas just came to a close, today I wanted to showcase two cards I made with Some Odd Girls images that I had to wait to after the holiday to show (did not want any spoilers).

The next is from a Retired Stamp that I sure we will find in the shop in the digital section sooner than later.  The character is Kaylee and I will always adore this one.

Here is to hoping that for all of you that celebrate, you had a great Holiday and Happy New Years to all.
