I'm So Jelly

Happy Wednesday! Here's my project for the 7 Kids Challenge Blog, "Anything Goes".  Make sure you use a STAMP/IMAGE carried in the 7 Kids College Fund Store in order to qualify


Made a quick card using just one stamp set and coordinating dies from Lawn Fawn - So Jelly. I colored the cute images with Copic Markers and used Stickles in Star Dust and Wink of Stella in Clear to add some sparkle. These little sea creatures are the cutest! I used nested circle dies in various sizes to mimic water bubbles. I especially love how the little starfish is peeking from behind the jellyfish. Lastly, I sprinkled some iridescent sequins for the bubbles.

Cocoa Nancy


Good morning! I'd like to share my card that I created using Cocoa Nancy from C.C. Designs. I thought she would be the perfect image to adorn a Starbucks gift card holder. This is a regular A2 card, I just placed the gift card pocket on the front. She is colored with Copic Markers. I used several C.C. Cutters Dies: Pinky Rectangles, Ovals, Coffee & Cocoa. The sentiment is from Snowy sentiments. Lastly, I added a latte die cut, to emphasize the coffee theme.

Praying for Paris

Hi everyone. I finally had time to finish coloring this image Paris from Simply B Stamps. She is a free digi image that you can request in her fan page here. Just a small tribute for this tragic event. She is colored with Copic Markers. I added some Star Dust Stickles to the one tear on her face. Finished the card with I Am Roses flowers and some lace trim.

Peonies

Hello everyone! Here's my project for the 7 Kids Challenge Blog, "Anything Goes".  Make sure you use a STAMP/IMAGE carried in the 7 Kids College Fund Store in order to qualify


For today's card, I used the images from Avery Elle - Peonies. I paper pieced the vase with polka dot pattern paper. I colored the Peonies with Copic Markers and fussy cut them out. I used red/green colors for the holiday season. The "Hello" sentiment is also from the stamp set. I doodled the lines on the bottom and the base of my card is black cardstock. Very simple today.

Avocado Arts - Season's Tweetings

Today's projects are made using the new stamp set "Season's Tweetings". Enjoy!

Card 1: Season's Tweetings

For my first card, I used the adorable bird images. I colored them in different colors. The "Season's Tweetings" sentiment coordinates well with the birdies. I framed them out in an oval and scalloped oval die shape.   

Card 2: You're My Favorite Flake

My second card consists of one of two snowflakes in the stamp set and the "You're My Favorite Flake" sentiment embossed with gold embossing powder. I used snowflake pattern paper and a snowflake die. A nice and flat card, easy for mailing.

 Card 3: Snow much thanks

Lastly, for my third card, I used the snowman and the "Snow much thanks" sentiment. I made a shaker card, overfilled with sequins, micro beads and glitter lol. He looks like he's drowning in snow, which I love! 


I hope you enjoyed my holiday cards. This stamp set was a blast to work with and perfect for this season. Thanks for stopping by!
