The Greeting Farm - Small Surprises Shaker Card

Hi everyone I'm back with another card for The Greeting Farm. This features the stamp set Small Surprises. This stamp set initially came in the Mystery Box #2 but is now available in store.

This stamp set is so adorable! I used most of the images included in the stamp set. All images are colored with Copic markers. I added some Star Dust Stickles on each of the cup images for a little sparkle. The cloud background was created with a makeshift cloud stencil using several cloud border dies. I used Distress Oxide Ink in Broken China. The little heart shaker portion of the card was cut out using a heart die that I had on hand.

The Greeting Farm - A Cheeky Girly Girls Holiday Card

Hi everyone, today's card features stamp sets from The Greeting Farm. 

I'm so excited to share this card with you. I used images from several stamp sets. The girl is from Cheeky Girly Girls Clear Stamp Kit. Her hair scarf is colored to mimic a holly. As for her outfit, I colored her dress to appear to be a separate top and bottom. The sentiments, holiday lights, and reindeer hat all come from the stamp set Oh, What Fun!. I layered a mug image from Cozy with You stamp set. All images are colored with Copic markers. I added some white detailing to her eyes, cheeks, and her skirt. For sparkle, I used Star Dust Stickles on the whipped cream.

On the base of the card, I used a cloud stencil with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink. The house die was cut from a Mama Elephant die. The cute little holiday images are from an old paper pad from Doodlebug Designs - Sugarplums. Normally I would make a shaker card, but this time I opted to make this a "flat" card. Don't worry I foresee a shaker card in the near future LOL.

Some Odd Girl - Mini Fairies

Hello everyone! Today's holiday card is using Mini Fairies Digi Stamps and Cut File: Celebrate Family Sentiment Pack from Some Odd Girl . 

I love these ladies. I paired them up with a music sheet pattern paper. I used Distress Oxide Fired Brick Ink on a Tim Holtz Poinsettia Stencil. I added little gold star sequin throughout the card. The word "celebrate" is from the cut file Celebrate, Family Sentiment Pack. Final touches, i added Gold Stickles to certain elements on both images.

Some Odd Girl - Holdiay Shaker Card

Today's holiday card is using Build-a-Background: Trees and Bushes Digi Stamps from Some Odd Girl . 

I chose the image that most resembled a Christmas tree. Not only is it in the background but it is also the main focus. I struggle with coloring foliage and this image made it easy to practice my flicks. Besides using Copics, I used a green colored pencil just to try it out, I honestly didn't know how it would look. I framed it out with a fancy frame and used some cute penguin stickers that I've been holding onto for years LOL. The little shaker bits inside are mini foam balls.

Kat Scrappiness - There's Snow One Like You

Hello there! Here with another card for some more holiday inspiration from Kat Scrappiness. 

I just love this snowman! It's fun to play around with different pattern paper to get the right look you want on your project. I replaced the buttons on the snowman with red sequin. The base of the card mainly consists of dies used from the Crafters Essentials WINTER Die Set, basically all you need to create a beautiful and easy winter scene. The final touch were the Silver Jewels.

Some Odd Girl - You're oFISHally My Favorite

Today I'm sharing a card using Mini Mermaids Digi Stamp and Valentine Sentiments V1 from Some Odd Girl . 

This little mermaid comes in a set of two. You can view my previous card using the other mermaid here. She is colored with Copic markers. The fish is covered in Yellow Stickles. The digital sentiment is just one of many from the Valentine Sentiment V1 set. When I printed the sentiment, I made sure to locate it on the bottom of the letter size paper. Then I trimmed it to the size of an A2 card. I layered the mermaid over some leaf die cuts that pose as seaweed. Using Copic Opaque White Paint, I added freckles to the girl and fish. Lastly, I adhered a few clear round sequin to the card.

Some Odd Girl - Peter Pan and Tinker Bell

Today I'm sharing this card using Peter Pan and Tinker Bell Digi Stamp from Some Odd Girl . 

These two cuties come as a pair or you can purchase them individually. I wanted to dress them up in their holiday outfits. The images are colored with Copic markers. I added Star Dust Stickles to Tinker Bell's wings. The "believe" sentiment is a Heidi Swapp die that I cut from gold mirrored cardstock. The cloud background was achieved with Lawn Fawn Cloud dies and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink. Lastly, I used a Copic White Opaque Paint to add highlights to the eyes and cheeks.

Kat Scrappiness November Release Day 2

Welcome to the Kat Scrappiness November Release Day 2. 

Today's release includes two new dies:

Happy Hanukkah with Shadow Die

Merry Christmas with Shadow Die

I used the "Happy Hanukkah" sentiment without the shadow for my card. I cut it out of Imperial Blue Glossy Mirror Cardstock from Tonic Studios. The base is cut from the Wonky Wavy Stitched Rectangle Die. To make the candles, I used one of the banner strips in the Crafters Essentials I Die Set and cut it out of a silver mirror cardstock. To achieve the candle flames, I used Distress Oxide in Fossilized Amber and used a tiny blender brush and did a little swipe of the brush.

Some background ghosts were adhered to the card flat. The background die cuts are from Kat Scrappiness (Crafters Essentials Winter and Crafters Essentials Fall die sets) and the house is an old school die from QuickKutz.

Some Odd Girl - Astro Tobie

Today I'm sharing this card using Astro Tobie Digi Stamp and the Cut File: Beautiful, Amazing, Fabulous from Some Odd Girl . 

I had a blast creating this card. The galaxy background was created on watercolor paper and I used a mixture of watercolors and shimmer sprays. He is colored with Copic markers. I cut a piece of acetate to lay on top of his helmet. I used a stitched border die for the ground and used a grey Copic marker to add some detail to the "moon". I chose the word "amazing" from the cut file. Lastly, I used Gold Stickles to accent the star on the flag and some gold pieces on his outfit.
