Stampin' In Alaska

I'm joining the current clean and simple challenge at AAA Cards .  The current theme is one layer with polar animals.  I recently bought the Snow and Cocoa clear stamp set by Crate Paper at Tuesday Morning.  Love this cute little bear... I think he can be Polar or Brown! The image was colored with Copic Markers.  I stenciled the background with distress ink and an MFT stencil.  I'm stocking up on Birthday cards for our church group.

I'm joining the current sketch challenge at My Favorite Things with a clean and simple take this week.  My card features MFT die-namics - (new to me) Prayers and Leafy Flourish.  Scrap pieces were used from the MFT Painted Citrus paper pad.  A few sequins finish the card. Thanks for stopping by for a look!

I recently stumbled upon this challenge blog in my FaceBook feeds!  So excited, I tracked down the blog and found that the current challenge fit perfectly with this adorable House-Mouse Cookie Crumbles set from Stampendous. The image was colored with Copic Markers, die cut and sponged.  Tim Holtz Splatters stencil was used to sponge the card base.   Coffee paper from Unity Stamps, twine and sequins finish the card. A quick birthday sentiment was stamped from Hero Arts.

I'm joining the current Art Impressions challenge with a fun Anniversary card.  The current challenge is Hugs & Kisses so I couldn't resist pulling out this image from the AI Love Birds set . Their shirt and dress were paper pieced with designer paper from MME Love Me paper pad.  The base panel is from the same pad.  I couldn't resist combining the "Love" page with this couple!  The images were colored with Copic markers and fussy cut. A lightly sponged stencil background, pearl earring and sequins finish the card.  To fit the "Love" sentiment, the finished card size is 6.25 x 5.  Bigger than my normal cards, but I really like the end result. Thanks for taking a look!! I'm sharing my card with the following: Art Impressions challenge:  #273 Hugs & Kisses! QKR Stampede:  Challenge #380 Anything Goes Cute Card Thursday:  #616 Embellish

The cold, snowy weather in my area has sent my Crafty Mojo on a downward spiral this week!  But this fun CAS sketch design at AAA Cards Challenge gave me a boost today. I pulled out a folder with a few images which I've colored recently and decided this cute chicken from Craftin' Desert Divas would work perfect for a clean and simple Birthday card.  A Stampin' Up! emboss folder was used for the cross panel.  The sentiment is from Art Impressions.  The digital chicken image was colored with Copic markers and highlighted with charcoal pencil.

Happy Friday!  I'm joining the current Power Poppy Challenge with a Small and Sassy Birthday card.  My card features the digital Peonies stamp se t. I printed the image onto water color paper with the no-line version.  The image was colored and blended with Tombow markers.  A new sentiment die was layered for a quick and simple design.  I used the largest die of the Spellbinders Lacey Squares set for the card base.  The final card size is about 3.5 square.  A few sequins finish the card.

I'm sharing a quick clean and simple anniversary card featuring Hero Arts Botanical Peony.  The image was stamped with Versafine Claire ink and colored with Tombow markers.   I added sparkle with a few sequins and a layered the image panel onto gold glitter paper. This will go into my stash for family or church anniversaries this year.  Thanks for taking a look!
