Stay Pawsitive!! - Guest Designer

Hi Everyone!! 

Today I am a Guest Designer for Gerda Steiner Designs.

I am sharing a card using the All Cats stamp set.

The cats in this stamp set are just too fun!! 
I loved coloring them with copic markers.
The cat I used in today's card reminded me of the beloved grumpy cat!

I colored this cat with the gray (N1-N5 family) copic markers, then fussy cut it out. Next, I used some patterned paper from Doodlebug design for the background layer. Then I used a grass border die to die cut some green grass for the cat to sit on. I added this to white card stock that is embossed with a cloud embossing folder then die cut with a 3x4 journal die. The cute birds are paper pieced with matching patterned papers and sitting on a twine rope, I added some knots to the corners. Finally, I added the fun "Stay Pawsitive" sentiment from the stamp set, in black ink, to a die cut banner then added some twine around the edge ending in a bow. For a finishing touch, I added some glossy accents to the eyes and beaks and a few white gel pen accents.

Thank you so much for stopping by! 

Have a wonderful day!

Pizza My Heart Valentine cards

Hi Everyone! 

Today I am sharing a few cards. 

The first card I used the current 

Stick It Down January Card Sketch.

I followed the sketch and made a card for my husband, he adores pizza and pepperoni. I used the Pizza My Heart stamp set from Lawn Fawn. I stamped and copic colored the pizzas. I added four pizzas to the right side for the scallop edge on the sketch. Then two heart pizzas with the cute stamped faces and of course, the mustache face for my hubby! The sentiment is heat embossed on black card stock in white. I finished the card with a few hearts die cut with the stitched journaling die from Lawn Fawn.

This card is inspired by the crafty Heidi Criswell and her card she posted {here}.

I made this one for our son, I thought he would just love it! I stamped the pizzas and cutters in a random pattern and then colored them with copics. Then I added some green and red hearts to fill the space. Next, I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment in white. I added an extra cutter that was fussy cut next to the sentiment.

For the second card, I used the pizza slices from the set

 and kept it simple and fun. 

This card is for our daughter. I stamped and copic colored the slices and the cutter, then fussy cut them out. I popped one slice of the pizza up with the cute girly face towards the bottom. I stamped the sentiment in black and then some hearts from the set in red. I finished the card with some patterned paper and black card stock.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Have a wonderful day!

Sparkly Pastel Unicorn cards

Hi Everyone!!

Happy Monday!! 

I hope your week is off to a great start.

This weekend I was able to get some cards 

done for the lastest 

Shopping Our Stash Challenge: Fantastic Beasts.

I couldn't wait to participate in this challenge, I am always trying to use my neglected crafty products. Are you with me? :) I always want it all, but sometimes I don't get to use it.

So this challenge is the perfect opportunity.

I started out by stamping and coloring the unicorn and ponies from the Magical Friends stamp set (The Greeting Farm) with copic markers. I stamped extra 'horns' from the one unicorn and turned the ponies into unicorns. I made three cards, one with each unicorn and color theme.

For the first card, I did a lavender theme and used Milled Lavender distress ink. I die cut several layers with all three of the Puffy Cloud border die(Lawn Fawn) and inked the bottom half of each one them layered them. Next, I die cut the panel with the stitched rectangle die from the Basic Set Die (Mama Elephant). I added the scalloped rectangle die cut in white behind it. This is all layered onto a white A2 card base. Then popped up the unicorn on the card front and added a heat embossed sentiment in silver from the same stamp set. 

This card has a pink theme 

and I used Spun Sugar distress ink.

This one has a teal theme 

and I used Peacock Feathers distress ink.

I finished each card off with some shimmer with a Spectrum Noir Sparkle pen in clear and some heart and star sequins (StudioKatia).

Neglected products used:

Puffy Cloud Border dies- Lawn Fawn 

(only used once)

Spectrum Noir Sparkle pen-Clear

Thanks so much for stopping by!

I hope you can join these fun challenges and use some of your stash!

Have a wonderful day!

Belated Birthday Bear card featuring Pink and Main

Hi Everyone! 

Today is my day to share a project 

featuring Pink and Main Stamps.

For my card today I am using the cute bear from Sunflowers stamp set, coordinating Sunflowers dies and the So Sorry stamp set.
I made a Belated Birthday card using these sets. I always like the look of colored images on kraft cardstock.

I stamped the cute bear and sentiment in brown ink, the colored the bear with prismacolor pencils. I also stamped, colored and die cut the bow from the stamp set.

Next, I added some white gel pen accents to the bear and outlined the "Sorry" part of the sentiment to help it stand out. The card is pretty much one layered so it will be easy to mail.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

I just want to drink coffee... featuring Pink and Main stamps

Hi Everyone! 

I hope you had a wonderful holiday 

and start to the New Year! 

Today I am sharing a project featuring 

Pink and Main stamps.

For my card base, I used the new Stitched Circle Dies for a fun circle card that measures about 4.75 in. so it will fit into an A2 envelope. I just adore this cute sloth from the Sloths stamp set, he's holding a cup of coffee, tea or cocoa, whatever you want it to be. I thought coffee and went with the coordinating sentiment from the set. I stamped and copic colored the sloth, then die cut him using the coordinating Sloth dies. Next, I heat embossed the sentiment in white on a purple card stock strip and layered that with some iridescent glitter washi tape. The background is embossed with a Tim Holtz coffee embossing folder then die cut with the same Stitched Circle Dies. I finished the card with a few heart sequins.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!
