How About A Nice Island Punch?

 

Who’s ready for a splash of Island Punch? Bursting with juicy brights and tropical vibes, this colorful card looks like it came straight from a fruity paradise! I created it with the new Trinity Stamps JuiceBox Shaped Card Die, then added a cheerful trio of fruit living their very best island lives. And those adorable tropical fish? They’re swimming in for even more colorful fun!

Have An Ice Day

Lace up those skates and hold on tight—this moose is officially on the loose! I had the best time playing with this new stamp set from Pajama Crafter Stamps. And how perfect is the name? Moose On The Loose! It comes with three adorable skating pals, each ready to glide right into your crafty heart.

For this card, I had a little masking-and-ink-blending fun before bringing everything to life with Copic markers. The sweet little sentiment is included in the set too, which makes this one such a fun and easy set to create with.

The Copic colors I used for this card are:

• E40, E42, E43, E44, E47
• T1, T3, T5
• R08, R46, R39
• Y00, Y02, Y19
• E13, E25, E27
• YG07, G05, G07
• B21, B45, B97

Other supplies:

• Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink
• Salty Ocean Distress Oxide Ink
• Prize Ribbon Distress Oxide Ink
• Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink
• Nested Rectangles: Postage Edge - Pink Fresh
  

This cheerful guy just cracks me up, and I hope he brings a smile to your face too! Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today. I hope you get a chance to soak up a little winter magic—and maybe make something cute while you’re at it!

Warm Wishes!

 Hello friends!  It is the 20th of the month again so it is time for the Oh So Inspired YouTube Video Hop.

This is a hop hosted by Crafy Al.  A group of us card makers get together each month and use the same piece for inspiration to create something new.  

This month, we were inspired by a card that was created by Vicky Boucher, @vickyboucher.  The card she created is a lovely card with many layers of torn paper with a simple sentiment and die cut.

For my card, I used the torn paper, however, I used a small chipboard nutcracker and sentiment piece.  To separate it from the paper, I used a metallic gold snowflake die cut.  I am so happy with the way this card turned out - so thank you to Vicky for the inspiration.

Pop on over to my YouTube Channel to see how I created this card.  Make sure to visit the other designers in the playlist to see how they were inspired.  If you are inspired to create a card, make sure you share it with us.
