Make A Wish!

 



Hello Again! I have another card from Gerda Steiner Designs. These little friends put a smile on my face.

  • G40, G43

I still have one more little fellow to play with but I haven't quite decided what to do with him. Hmmm......so many possibilities.

Smile!!!


 

Hello! I am pretty sure this guy is making you smile because he sure makes me smile.

This is a card designed with a digital printable greeting card from Gerda Steiner Designs. This design is called Stay Cool - Mouse With A Drink. I thought that I would add some Happy Hibiscus from Lawn Fawn behind him, so after I printed him out, I used my Scan And Cut to cut him out. I also used the Tropical Leaves Backdrop from Lawn Fawn to add just a little more color to the card. The sentiment is also a Lawn Fawn die called, Scripty Smile.

I colored my little friend using Copic markers. This was my first attempt at coloring something with a clear glass with something behind it. The first one was a complete disaster, but I am pretty happy with the way this one turned out.

The Copic markers colors are:

  • C0, C01, C03
  • Y0, Y02,
  • B000
  • C5, C6
  • R00

I also used some Distress Oxide Inks to add a little color to the flowers. The colors I used are:

  • Abandoned Coral
  • Mustard Seed.

Thanks for stopping by!

Enjoy The Little Things



Oh my goodness, this little mole just makes me so happy! I could color this little fellow all day long.

The stamp set is from Gerda Steiner Designs - I just love her little illustrations. This stamp set is called Little Things. There are three little moles in the collection and I would have loved to have played with all three, but I ran out of time today. I hate when that happens.

This was a very quick card to make. I stamped the mole and sentiment directly on my cardstock and then lightly blended Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide around the image. I colored the little dandelions, then die cut them. I did cut the flower off the one in the middle.

The Copic markers I used are:

  • E30, E31, E33
  • G40, G43
  • Y00, Y02
  • C0, C1, C3, C4

Thanks for stopping by!

Dessert In The Desert



I have been having the best time with the Desert Canyon Backdrop and Ink Blending. Unfortunately, I got a little carried away with the Critters and their treats, so you can barely see it.

I also did a little bit of masking so it would look more like the snake and the turtle were actually holding their sticks in the campfire.

Supplies:

Distress Oxides

  • Mustard See
  • Crackling Campfire
  • Chipped Sapphire

Stamps & Dies

  • S'More The Merrier
  • Critters In The Desert
  • Desert Canyon Backdrop

Copics

  • Cactus G94, G99, YG93
  • Turtles YG93, YG95, YG97, Y26, YR24, E99
  • Scorpion Y21, Y23, Y26
  • Finnick Fox W0, W1, W3
  • Snake Y26, YR24, E99

Hello Sunshine!



The banner on this card was originally made for another card but I hadn't centered the lettering for a horizontal A2 card, luckily, it was still usable for a verticle card.

I am a horrible patterned paper hoarder, but I decided that I would go ahead and dig into the new Summertime Petite Paper Pack.

The Dies that I used for this card are:

  • Scalloped Arches Border
  • Mr. Sun
  • Henry's ABC's
  • Giant Hello Sunshine
  • Flamingo Floatie
  • Sunburst Backdrop
  • Stitched Rectangle Frames

I really like the way this card turned out, colors kind of give off a vintage vibe to me.

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy 4th Of July!



I had a little scrap of stenciled paper left over from my little fireworks stand, so I used it for the bottom of this card. I am still not sure that I like it with the lettering - it feels a little busy but I think is okay.

For the little mice living their best life, I decided to spend the time and do some masking as opposed to cutting out each element. Not only is it a cleaner look, but I was able to fit everything in.

Supplies:

Distress Oxide Inks

  • Prize Ribbon
  • Candied Apple

 Dies & Stamps

  • Crazy Antics
  • Bubbles Of Joy
  • Whoosh! Kites
  • You Autumn Know
  • Dandy Day
  • Treat Cart (sentiment)
  • Scripty Happy
  • Finley's 123's
  • Scalloped Arches Border

Stencil

  • Lots Of Stars Background Stencil

Supplies used to create this card:

Distress Oxide Inks

  • Pumice Stone
  • Prize Ribbon
  • Candied Apple

Stencils

  • Brick Stencil
