Stampin' In Alaska

Happy Monday!  I'm joining the current sketch challenge at My Favorite Things with their adorable Friends at First Sip set by Birdie Brown.  This is an absolutely adorable set and perfect for any coffee lover! I started by stamping the image onto Copic marker paper and coloring with Copic Markers.  The bag was paper pieced with coordinating designer paper from Doodlebug Designs Cream & Sugar paper pad.    The card based was spritzed with Dandelion Fireworks glitter spray.  Designer papers from Doodlebug were used for the panels.  A coordinating sentiment and enamel dots finish the card. Thanks for stopping by for a peek at my happy card!  I'm sharing my project with the following: Cute Card Thursday Challenge:  #570 Buttons/Enamel Dots    My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch:  Challenge #425   Penny Black and More:  February - Anything Goes with Optional Tags  Word Art Wednesday: #374 - 375 A...

I'm joining the current House or Cottage challenge at Art Impressions with this water color card featuring Lakehouse Try Folds .   I created a little lakeside scene by stamping two of the images from the set onto water color paper.  The images were colored with Tombow markers and blended.  A little distress ink was added for the lake.  The coordinating sentiment was added and a fussy cut fish from Reel Great Guys was colored with Copic markers.  The card was finished with enamel dots. Thanks for stopping by for a quick peek!  I'm sharing my card with the following: Art Impressions Challenge:  #250 House or Cottage   Penny Black and More:  February - Anything Goes with Optional Tags  Power Poppy Creative Confetti Challenge:  Color it Up!   Word Art Wednesday: #374 - 375 Anything Goes Cute Card Thursday Challenge:  #570 Buttons/Enamel Dots  

I needed a Get Well card for a family member who has been in the hospital.  While we were on vacation, I was able to color a few images including this sweet Birdie Brown image from Rain or Shine . The designer paper is from American Crafters.  I picked it up on sale at JoAnn Fabric yesterday.  It immediately inspired this card.  All of the stamped images were colored with Copic Markers.  A couple of sequins were added to finish the card. As always, thanks for taking a peek.  The current MFT sketch challenge was the perfect inspiration to finish this card.  Now, to get a sentiment inside with a note then mailed on Tuesday!

Good morning!  I have been away from the craft room for a couple of weeks enjoying a sunny break from Alaska's winter.  My crafty mojo has also enjoyed a little break and I'm back to join the current challenge at Your Next Stamp ! This week's challenge is to include die cuts on our projects.  I was a recent challenge winner and used my prize money to purchase their adorable Retro TV die.   I cut the die in both black and silver card stock an layered them then included a birthday sentiment from Keepin' It Reel for the shaker. The retro design paper is from Authentique's Dapper paper bundle.  I also used YNS gumdrops for the TV knobs.  The base card stock is Real Red from Stampin' Up! Thanks for stopping by for a quick look!  I always enjoy hearing your feedback.  Oh, and be sure to check out the current YNS challenge and join the fun!

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
