Hello

I have been in something of a creative funk lately and am so glad that I have gotten my mojo back because this will make my third card created today! I created this one for the latest CASology challenge. Unfortunately the challenge closed before I could link it but I still wanted to share it. I started by layering a piece of diagonal striped paper from the Heidi Grace Sunshowers 6x6 paper pad onto my white card base. I then stamped all four of the adorable little chickadees and the sentiment from the Technique Tuesday Chickadees stamp set onto some Copic-friendly cardstock and then die cut the entire panel using a Gina Marie Designs stitched rectangle die. I colored the images in using Copic markers and then popped the panel up off of the card using some 3M foam tape for some added dimension. I love how clean and simple this card is and hope you like it too!

I Hope You Feel Beautiful

Today's card was created for this week's Unity Sketch Challenge on Facebook. This is the first ever Unity challenge I've ever participated in, which is crazy since I own tons of their stamps! I recently picked up quite a few of the Angie girl stamp sets on the recent sale over on their site so decided to showcase one of the newest ones I got. I started by stamping out the beautiful Angie girl from the I Hope You Feel Beautiful stamp set onto some Copic friendly white 110 lb paper and colored the image in using my Copic markers in blues and greens. I stamped the sentiment onto a smaller white panel and colored over it with a very light blue Copic for a bit of highlight. I cut each of the panels down and mounted them onto some pretty blue patterned paper from the Heidi Grace Sunshowers 6x6 paper pad and popped them up using some 3M foam tape for added dimension and interest. I added some clear Wink of Stella glitter pen to the hat and sweater for some shimmer. I covered my card panel with the same blue patterned paper and then trimmed down some light green patterned paper from the same paper pack and adhered that on. I stamped the butterfly image from the Go Get It Girl stamp set, also by Unity Stamp Company, and fussy cut it out and popped it up using Stampin' UP foam dimensionals. I added it to my top panel and added some more clear Wink of Stella glitter for some shine. I think it turned out beautifully! 

Happy Halloween

I don't send out a lot of Halloween cards but I have a friend who is a fellow fan of The Walking Dead and thought I would pop this one in the mail for her and it would be perfect for the new Can You Case It challege. I started with a base of black cardstock from Hobby Lobby. I stamped a Heidi Grace chevron background stamp onto some smoke grey cardstock (also from Hobby Lobby) using some Colorbox chalk ink in charcoal. I then stamped the happy Halloween sentiment from MSE Hallween Innies & Outies stamp set in Versafine onyx black ink. I stamped the blood splatter and the nom nom from the Sweet Stamp Shop Zombies stamp set. I took my white gel pen and added a few dots around the card background. I stamped the zombies onto some white cardstock and colored them in using Copic markers and added some clear Wink of Stella glitter pen and then popped them up onto some foam dimensionals by Stampin' UP. I added a bit of clear Wink of Stella to the blood and called this card done. 

Have A Wonderful Day

When I saw the Pinterest Inspired Challenge I immediately thought of a new stamp set I'd just recently gotten from Waltzing Mouse. The Old Country Roses stamp set kind of has that light, water colored feel so I stamped it up using varying shades of blue ink from Gina K. I stamped the leaves underneath and then stamped the flowers again and fussy cut them out, mounting them onto the card using some foam dimensionals. I used a piece of old olive cardstock as the base layer of my card and then added a piece of patterned paper from the Heidi Grace Sunshowers 6x6 patterned paper. I adhered a piece of lace from Stampin' UP underneath and adhered the panel to the card. I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set using Versafine onyx black ink and heat embossed it using some Zing clear embossing powder. I cut that panel down and trimmed it out with some more old olive cardstock and popped it up off of the card using foam dimensionals from Stampin' UP. I added some blue gems from Michael's and a few clear gems from The Paper Studio and called this card done. I hope you like it!

Have a Magical Day

Today's card was created for the new MFT Challege and Cas-ology Cue Card challenge. I stamped the adorable Fairy Girl from the MFT Pure Innocence line and colored her and the little mushroom using Copic markers. I fussy cut them out and popped them up on Stampin' UP foam dimensionals. I die cut the sun from TCP's County Fair die cuts and the cloud from a Lawn Fawn die. I die cut the circle from MFT's pierced circle dies and created a sky background using some Pebbles chalk. I used my Wink of Stella clear glitter pen to add some pretty shimmer to the sun, her wand, wings, and the hearts and pom poms on the little girl as well as the spots on the mushroom. I mounted everything onto some adorable patterned papers from the Heidi Grace Sunshowers 6x6 paper line. I added a few clear rhinestones and some yellow enamel dots from Paper Studios and then stamped the greeting from the same Pure Innocence stamp set.
