Stampin' In Alaska

I'm joining the current Art Impressions Challenge - Lots of Hearts with this fun AI couple from their " Love Thing " set.  The image was stamped onto Copic Marker paper and colored with Copic markers.  The base panel was foiled with Gina K hearts.   A coordinating sentiment from the AI set finishes the card. A quick card for Valentine's or Anniversary!  Thanks for stopping by to take a quick peek.

I haven't gotten a chance to play along with the weekly sketch challenge at My Favorite Things for awhile.  I thought this week's sketch was the perfect chance to use some of the Washi Tape from my stash.   I stamped the pup from Friends at First Sip onto watercolor paper and colored with Tombow markers then die cut.  He's such a cutie!  The Birthday sentiment is from MFT Lucky Dog.  Enamel dots and bakers twine finish the card.

I'm joining the current Hero Arts challenge with their January Kit of the month.  This is the second kit that I've purchased recently and both are fabulous. My card started by stamping then die cutting the balloons and bicycle.  I sponged the clouds using a scallop circle die cut and Danube Blue Memento ink.  The sentiment is also from the kit ... I LOVE that font!  The final card size is 4.25 square and the polka dot base is from my stash. As always, thanks for stopping by!  I'm sharing my card with the following: A Blog Named Hero Challenge:  Crafter's Choice Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge:  Clean and Simple   Word Art Wednesday:  #370 - 371 Anything Goes  

I'm joining the current challenge at Art Impressions with this feminine birthday card and lots of pastels.  The cupcake image is from the AI Big Birthday Wishes set and the sentiment is from Chocolate Therapy . The images were stamped onto Stampin' Up! Whisper White cardstock, colored with Copic markers and fussy cut.  Various Stickles were applied then adhered to the gingham panel with foam dimension tape.  Papers are from Pebbles Garden Party paper pad. I added a machine stitched border to the base panel for a little added dimension.  I just pulled out my full size Brother sewing machine and stitched away!  Machine stitching adds such a nice finish and is a super cheap embellishment. The card design was inspired by the current sketch challenge at the Christian Card Makers Facebook group.

I'm joining the December Share Your Designs Challenge at Gerda Steiner with this sweet Dachshund in Love digital stamp.   I started by coloring the digital stamped image with Copic Markers. Highlights were added to the dog with Prismacolor pencils.  The image was fussy cut and adhered to designer papers from Basic Grey's Sugar Rush paper pad.  A little bakers twine was added to "hold" the balloon.  The sentiment is from Hero Arts. Thanks for stopping by!  I had so much fun playing with this sweet image.

I'm joining the current Anything Goes challenge at Your Next Stamp with this fun birthday shaker card.  I pulled out one of my favorite YNS sets - Aquarium Antics and the coordinating dies to create this card. I started by stamping and coloring the image on a white card stock base.  I chose a coordinating designer paper and used the fish bowl die cut to make my shaker window.  I then adhered a piece of acetate to the back of the paper, layered it over dimension tape onto the stamped image with glass beads.  FUN!  and easy. The card was finished with a birthday sentiment from YNS Keepin' it Reel set.  The fish food image was stamped onto watercolor paper, colored with Tombow markers and die cut. Thanks for taking the time to stop by!  I hope everyone gets a little creative time this weekend.

A few weeks ago I was the lucky winner of the MFT Sketch challenge.  I was SO excited when  sneak peeks began for the new Birdie Brown Friends at First Sip stamp set. I knew this set is what I would be using my MTF prize to buy! The current sketch challenge was perfect for this sweet pup and coffee cup.  Both images were stamped onto water color paper and colored with Tombow markers. The designer paper is from the DCWV Playful Pets mat stack.  The images were die cut with the coordinating MFT dies then adhered to the base with dimensional tape.  Super easy!
