Sweet!

This is another Tiddly Inks image. I have colored her in my favorite colors pink and green.
The patterned paper is Basic Grey Kioshi. I added some sewing to this card, I am still a newbie on the sewing machine but it is getting better. All those little "mistakes" it was makes it original right???
The image was colored with copics and spica glitter pens and cut out with a Nestabilities die.
I added the different pink ribbons as a contrast and then topped it off with the sweet stamp (from the Michael's dollar bin) and some prima flowers.
Enjoy your weekend and thanks for stopping by.

Sending you a little happy!


A while back I joined the Unity Stamp club, once a month I receive a stamp set in the mail. The great thing is that most of the stamps I love but there are some that are going to make me think outside the box a bit, and that is ok too. It helps to keep things fresh and new. I don't know that I would have ever bought the parachute and matching sentiment but now I really love it. I originally made up this set of cards to send to friends and family giving them our new phone number and e-mail addresses. We have had to change both several times recently and I thought that maybe a card would ease the address book editing a bit. Only problem is now that they are done I am thinking they might make a good gift! Have to think about it for a while!
The image is stamped onto white cardstock with memento ink and then cut with a Nestabilities die and layered. The patterned paper is from Three Bugs in a Rug called Spread Your Wings. On the inside of the cards I used some corner punches and added some rhinestones and brads.
Thanks for looking!

Bear Hug

This little cutie squeezing the stuffing out of the little bear is from MelJen's Designs. One of the great things about MelJen's Designs (aside from the cuteness factor) is that they are digital images, which allows me to change the size of the image.
I colored the image with Copics and then highlighted the hearts with a spica glitter pen. I added some chalk around the edge of the image to add some dimension so that it didn't get lost in all the Basic Grey patterned papers. I embossed the bold green cardstock with a Sizzix Swirls and Waves embossing folder.
Thanks for stopping by.

Another Teddie

This is another card I made with the Daisy Chain Teddie stamp from Elzybells Art Stamps.
I colored this one with a darker brown copic than the card I posted earlier this week.
The patterned paper is from the Basic Grey Kioshi line. The ribbon and buttons are from my stash. I used a Nestabilities die for the blue scalloped square and used chalk for the blue sky and green grass. I dotted the flowers centers with liquid pearls. An idea I scraplifted from Elizabeth's blog.
Have a great weekend!

Birthday Baker

This is a card for my niece's upcoming birthday. It is kind of funny to think of our siblings as parents sometimes, especially as their kids get older.
I got the digital stamp from Sassy Cheryl's. She has the cutest line of bakers. Something about a triple stack of cupcakes grabbed my attention.
I colored her with copics and added glitter with spica pens then added some glossy accents to her bowl and the cupcakes. I used some Queen & Co. pearls on her dress and for the cherry on top of the cupcake. The pink ric rac is from my stash. The green corners were punched with an EK Success punch. The patterned paper is some Cosmo Cricket Girl Friday (Sunday) that I have had for a while.
Hope you are having a great week!

Flower Girl

This is one of my favorites from Tiddly Inks, it is from the Gothic Cute collection and she is called Always the Flower Girl. As soon as I saw her I couldn't help thinking her dress needed to be purple. I am a big fan of pink but for some reason purple came to mind right away.

I colored her with copics and added some detail to her flowers and her black boots with spica glitter pens. The patterned paper is from the new Bo Bunny collection, called Peacock Lane Ivy. As luck would have it I actually colored the image before I found the paper, doesn't work out like that very often. I used a MS border punch on the teal cardstock and some ribbon from my stash.

Thanks for stopping by!

Teddie Bear

I have followed Elizabeth's blog for quite a while, she is the owner of Elzybell's Art Stamps. I placed my first order a few weeks ago and was not disappointed. The teddies are even cuter in real life than online and with the last name of Bear I am quite particular! The image is called Daisy Chain Teddie, reminds me of when I was a kid and chaining dandelions together.
The patterned paper is from the Fancy Pants Family Line this one is "Mother". I colored the image with copics, dotted the flower centers with liquid pearls and then colored the sky and grass with chalk (thanks for the tip Elizabeth). I cut the image out with a Nestablities die and layered it on top of another. The flowers and rhinestones are from Queen & Co. and the ribbon is from my stash. Thanks for looking!
