Happy Birthday Sister!

Hi everyone!

I'm back here a card that a coworker requested for her sister's birthday.  She loves cats so of course I thought of the adorable "I knead you" set from My Favourite Things stamps.

I started out with the cute kitty in the box, which is normally where I can find my kitty whenever there is an empty box laying around.  I had a recycling bag on the floor one day and I went to push it out of the way with my foot and the cat came running out of the bag!  Just about scared the daylights out of me!  Hehe!

I actually used the paw prints from the "You make my tail wag" set from MFT and stamped out the background with SSS Fog ink.

Then I coloured in the kitty and his fish with my copics.  I've been watching Sandy Allnock making magic come alive with her colouring and I need to practice more.

I used the SSS Happy Messages stamp for the sentiment and Milo's ABS's for the Sister and I stamped those in Slate SSS ink.

I used the Wink of Stella on the fish and the collar but unfortunately you can't really see it on the fist.

I used the Lawn Fawn stitched rectangle dies for the panels.  I used, I think it's fog card stock for the bottom panel (it was in a monthly card kit).

Stay tuned on Friday for the Lawnscaping Coffee Lovers Blog hop!  

I can't wait to show you my card!

Supplies:

Copics:

You're Fintastic - Card

Hi everyone!

I just couldn't wait to post this one!  I had the idea when I was oogling over my recent order from Butterfly Reflections Ink and it hit me!  Here it is!!

I used the LF Fintastic Friends for the fish bowl, fish and coral.  This set is just adorable as will all of the Lawn Fawn stamps.  If you follow me, you'll notice that I am a HUGE fan!!!

I used Memento Onyx for all the stamping as this is the best ink to use with copics.  There is also the MFT Hybrid ink that works well also.  I used my copics to colour in the images as well as the table and the wallpaper.  I thought I would go out on a lim and try my own background.  It's a bit scary but I think it turned out okay!

I used the LF stitched oval dies and this is the large set and cut out my panels and card base.  I popped up the top panel on foam tape.  I used the Petite Patterns for the base and 110# card stock as the base.

Monster Wishes - The Alley Way Stamps

Hello everyone!

I have a card today from  The Alley Ways Stamps Oogles.  I just love this set.

I stamped him and the sentiment out with Memento Onyx directly onto the card base.  That is a pretty scary thing but I think I did okay!  I used my copics to colour him in as well as used the W family to add in the ground.

I used the Pico embellisher for his eye and I thought it might be thick enough but when I added in the glossy accents it kind of bled into each other.  So I took something pointy and swirled it a but and used a black pen and added in the black dot.

Wishing You the Happiest Birthday!

Hi everyone,

I'm back with a card from the Simon Says June Card kit.  It came with some rainbow washi tape and it looks so pretty on white paper.  I taped three strips diagonally across the front panel.

I used the Wishing die from the Wishing and Sending die set that matches the stamp set.  I cut it out a few times from white card stock and glued them all together with liquid glue.
I had some colour swatches from Home Depot that my kids love to hoard whenever we go so I thought I would put them to good use!  I took the Paper Smooches Butterfly Duet dies and placed the die with each wing having a different shade of blue and they match the washi tape!

I stamped the sentiment from the Wishing and Sending stamps set in Memento Onyx black and used my corner chomper to round out two of the corners to give it some interest as I couldn't make up my mind of how to embellish the card.  I finally popped up the panel with foam tape onto an A2 sized card base.

Celebrate - Featuring Mama Elephant

Hi everyone,

My cousin is having her wedding reception this Saturday and this is the card I made.  

I started out with the flowers I coloured for #thedailymarker30day2 challenge.  For the summer I will be using up my stash and going through my card stock and patterned paper as well as holding off on buying as much as I normally do so that I can give the stuff I have now some love.  I bought them because I love them in the first place so I'm giving them the summer to be enjoyed.  This will give me time to save up for more crafty goodies come fall.

Now on with my card.

I used the Mama Elephant Freestyle Flowers and heat embossed them with SSS clear embossing powder on Canson 140#  watercolour paper.  I found a piece of kraft wood grain card stock that came in one of my Simon Says Stamp monthly card kits (unfortunately I hoard most of my SSS card stock so I'm not sure which month it came in) and cut it out with the Lawn Fawn Stitched Journaling die. 

Next I used one of the new colours in the Distress Ink line, Abandoned Coral.  This colour is SO pretty!  For the leaves I used the distress markers in Forrest Moss and Shabby Shutters.  I then took some Perfect Pearls in the pearl colour and went over everything again to give it some shine. 

This is a 4bar sized and I used the Recollections 110# white card stock.  I used the Simon Says Stamp cream card stock and tapped it to the card base.  I then popped the panel up on foam tape.  For the leaves I adhered them with tape runner.  I cut out the banner out with the WPlus9 Banner Trio Designer Dies and heat embossed the sentiment from The Alley Way Stamps More than Words with Ranger platinum embossing powder and popped it up with foam tape as well.

I took the flowers and popped them up as well with foam tape.  I noticed that I am actually more than half way through my gigantic role of 3M foam tape.  Never thought I would get through it in the same year!  Hehe!

I was going to add some enamel dots but took them off because I felt it took away from the pretty flowers.
