Sitting Here Thinking of You - 7 Kids Craft

Hi ya everyone!  Today I'm sharing a sweet little card I made quite awhile ago and never got a chance to share!  This sweet little stamp set is from Hello Bluebird called Field Mice and it's all sold out at 7 Kids Craft Store.  However, there are a few other adorable sets left right HERE.

I inked the background in the beautiful Catherine Pooler Inks, It's a Boy and Fiesta Blue, which have all been restocked right HERE.  I used the amazing Picket Fence Studios blending brushes and the beautiful LDRS Creative Rainy Day Stencils.  I also did a no line coloring with Copics on the cute little mouse and dandelion seeds.  I cut the scene with the Hello Bluebird die Gallery Frame Die #4.

Last, I added the beautiful Nuvo Dream Drops in Cloud 9.  The sentiment was stamped in Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and also comes with the Field Mouse Stamp Set.

A Dance with Friends - Hello Bluebird and 7 Kids Craft Supply Store

Hi ya everyone!  I love these adorable little Field Mice from Hello Bluebird.  I had so much fun creating a full forest scene with each little mouse.  Adding one to the mushroom created a fun story too.

The whole scene was colored in Copics.  I did add a bit of white gel pen and some nuvo drops here and there as well.

Coffee Understands - Stamping Bella and 7 Kids Live

Hi ya everyone!  I created this during a Live Facebook that happens every Saturday at 8pm EST on 7 Kids Customer's Create Page.  I had so much fun and loved the help I got from everyone who joined me.  We decided to ink up this cute Stamping bella Curvy Girl Loves Coffee and color her with our Zigs!

I inked the sky with Catherine Pooler inks in Something Borrowed, Juniper Breeze and Black Jack.  The Life Changing Brushes from Picket Fence Studios are amazing for this technique.   Together, they created a gorgeous blended sky.  I also used Gesso to flick some stars into the sky.  The sentiment is from a Picket Fence Studios set called Coffee Understands and was heat embossed with white embossing powder.

Hi ya everyone!  Just a quick and simple post today.  I created a similar floral panel using the adorable Evelin T Designs clear stamp set called Evergreen Foliage that I bought at 7 Kids Crafts.  Florals in this size are perfect for creating simple layered designs.  I simply used my Catherine Pooler inks on the stamp, added a spritz of water and stamped.  I also watercolored just a bit with the CP inks to fill the background a bit.  Easy and simple!!!

The Little Piggy Says...7 Kids and Live

Hi ya everyone!  This card is a result of our fun Facebook Live at 7 Kids Customer's Create group that I host every Saturday.  We have so much fun creating a card together!  This week we used the super cute Hello Bluebird stamp set called Pig Day!

I watercolored the little pig with Zig clean brush watercolor pens.  I inked the background with my wonderful Picket Fence Studios Life Changing Brushes and Catherine Pooler inks in Grass Skirt, It's a Boy, Sugared Lavender and Fiesta Blue.  The background was cut with a Whimsy Stamps die and popped up with a shaker card in mind.

Whales on parade - 7 Kids and Picket Fence Studios

Hi ya everyone!  I created this card during a LIVE at 7 Kids Customer's Create Facebook page but never blogged and shared with everyone!  I used the adorable Picket Fence Studios stamps set called A Dose of Vitamin Sea.  I inked the background paper with the beautiful Catherine Pooler inks on Bristol Smooth paper.  I did mask the whales first.

I colored the beautiful whales with Zig Clean brush markers.  I used a Whimsy die for the border and then added sequence and bubbles with a white gel pen.  I stamped the sentiment in nocturne Versafine Clair Ink.

This was a fun and simple card to create and it turned out so beautiful with all the bright colors.  7 Kids Crafts has a number of Picket Fence Studio stamps available.  While the whales aren't there, you can find a number of adorable cuties!

So MANY Books - 7 Kids and Evelin T Designs

Hi ya everyone! I love the new Evelin T Designs stamps that I picked up at 7 Kids Crafts Store.  This one is called Reading Buddies.  I stacked the books stamp by masking the one standing on end with tape, inked up my stamp, removed the tape and just had to redraw a little edge of the book touching the upright one.  Simple and easy way to mask something without having to stamp and cut a mask!  I then colored this cutie in Copics!

I cut the image with a Whimsy Wonky Stitched die and then placed it on black card stock that I sprayed with Sheer Shimmer Frost Spray.  The background was so fun to create too!  I used the fun Lindy's Magical Powders and a bit of Green Fireworks Spray from Imagine.  The combo on Strathmore Bristol Smooth was very pretty.  I added blue powder, sprayed water and dried.  Next, I added red powder and dried.  Last, I added the green spray.

I love the splotchy look that came out by using this spritz and dry method.  Make sure to check out 7 Kids and see all the fabulous design team inspiration.  You have to request to join the 7 Kids Customer's Create page on Facebook!

Thank You My Friend - 7 Kids and Dreamerland Crafts

Hi ya everyone!  Did you know that 7 Kids Crafts Store has a sale on Dreamerland Crafts right now? Use code DREAM to receive 20% off Dreamerland Crafts AND washi tape!  How fun is that?  I colored up this little cutie in Copics and paired her with some fun plaid papers.

I love Dreamerland Crafts!  The images are adorable and sweet and simple to color.  I actually cut this stamp into two pieces so I could stamp more bubbles into the scene.  The sentiment is from Picket Fence Studios.  I added some beautiful blue sparkly Nuvo drops.

Mermaid Love - Imagine

Hi ya everyone!  Today, I'm sharing an underwater mermaid card I made for Imagine!  Have you heard about their new embossing powders??  You guys, they are fine, they are beautiful and they are SPARKLY!!  I love them.  Honestly, in the past, I thought the Imagine embossing powder was just so so, especially for detailed work...but the ballgame has changed and now, they are gorgeous!  I used the new Shimmering Night Sky for this card.

The sparkle is there but I love how it just blends into my watercolored background!  Isn't it beautiful?  I've used the adorable Picket Fence Studios mermaid set called Little Coral Girl from 7 Kids Crafting Supply Store.  I colored her in Copics and you can see the Speed Coloring Video below!

In addition, there is a FULL Card tutorial at Imagine's YouTube Channel!!!  I'd love for you to watch and subscribe to both channels!

One In A Million - Mama Elephant and 7 Kids

Hi ya everyone!  A no line coloring technique is a must with these adorable bunnies from Mama Elephant!  I think this might be my favorite stamp set of all time.  These little bunnies are just so cute and to pair them with a moon and stars theme was a perfect combo!

I inked the background with Catherine Pooler Inks to create a setting sun appearance.  I splashed white gesso for stars and water to create a splotched sky.  I then added stars.  Next, I cut out circles randomly on the card.  Each bunny was colored with a no line coloring technique and my Copic markers.

I placed the bunnies in each random circle.  The large bunny on the moon was placed in the corner.  Last, I attached small sequences and stamped a sentiment in Versafine Clair Nocturne from the same set.  Items purchased at 7 Kids Crafting Supply Store.
