Heard You Were Dragon - My Favorite Things

Hi ya everyone!
Today, I'm sharing an adorable card made using My Favorite Things stamp set called, BB Magical Dragons.  I love this cute little set and the sentiments are so fun.  I stamped the dragon in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on Xpress It paper and colored him in Copics.

I love to add little dots in various colors and in colorless blender to give him an adorable textured appearance.  I simply popped him up on a piece of Bo Bunny paper.  I also added my favorite enamel dots from Whimsy, Summer Breeze, to the top.

Hope you have a great day!

Get Well - Imagine Card

I've really needed a break from coloring lately.  Don't get me wrong I LOVE coloring - but just a change of pace for a few days - it's been a busy week!  So my Imagine is getting a work out and I'm loving it!  This paper and flower cut is all from Lori's Garden.  This is a gorgeous cartridge filled with fabulous papers and designs.

I've needed some simplicity in my card making and the way to add something special to simple is dimension.  So I added a few layers of flowers and popped the background square off the card as well.

I stamped the Get Well with Versafine ink and added a white satin ribbon that seemed to pop with the soft blues.  Thanks for stopping by today.  Hope you are enjoying your weekend!

Feel Better - Meljen's Designs Challenge

Hi ya everyone!
  Ok, so I totally didn't follow the challenge this week at Meljen's Designs Challenge blog with the new images that are ever so sweet:

All of them can be found right HERE at Whimsy Stamps.  I have some of the new images colored up but really wanted to use this mailbox because well I LOVE coloring these and honestly Melissa from Meljen's has so many adorable images that it's fun to go back and find some gorgeous older images - this image called Mailed With Love can be found right HERE!!  This mailbox shouts spring so I thought it perfect for a little note to a friend that isn't feeling so well.  I colored the image in Copics and tried a new swirly pattern in the background just to be different!

I used some super bright colors for this card using a stack from Basic Grey called Romani.  Aren't the papers yummy?  I also used a bit of crinkle ribbon for a bow that I then placed a button and Baker's twine on.

Finally, I added three little red gems!  That's it - quick, simple, bright and cheery!!!

Have a great day and don't forget to check out the challenge this week at Meljen's - make a bookmark - and you won't want to miss this magical release at Whimsy!

Next, I used nestable to cut out two Circles and inked the edges of the one I placed the paper pieced whale on.

Lastly, I used some fabulous crinkle ribbon from Prairie Bird Boutique and layered everything on more Tim Holtz paper!  Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to check out Fabulous Inky Fridays!

Caught A Bug? - Paper Cutz Challenge

Hi Ya Everyone!
  This week at Paper Cutz Mary asked us to design a get well card using a digital or stamped image or a cricut cut of something that flies.  I chose a lady bug mainly because I thought it would be cute with my sentiment.  This is an all cricut card.  I made a window card using Sheila's (aka She's A Sassy Lady) window card technique by following her Saturday morning Gypsy made simple tutorial.  I'm also going to link it up at her blog.
  First, I pulled out my Gypsy and found a card base from French Manor and stretched it to a 5x7.  I then added the sentiment caught and a from Simply Charmed (for both I had to get rid of other words using the hide feature) and adhered the shadow to the window frame.  Next, I typed up the word Bug? from the font on Rock Princess and again adhered the shadow to my window.  Finally, I added a ladybug from Create A Critter - I used the hide feature again and took out his happy smile.  I cut out a card base in a teal blue - this is my stronger heavier card stock that I like to use as a base to make the card sturdier. 

I also cut the base in a sheet from my DCWV Black Current stack because I wanted the front to be in black.  I then proceeded to cut out the shadows to all of my shapes and fonts along with the regular shapes in various papers.  I then adhered the card together using glue, pop dots and some runner adhesive - my xyron ran out :(!!!  I added a background piece from my K&Co. paper stack that brought the whole thing together - this covered up my window portion but I loved the effect!  Finally, I added some googly eyes and a bit of doodling with my white gel roll pen.  Thanks for checking out my card - if you can - head over to Paper Cutz this week and join the fun by making a get well card for your stash with a flying thing!!!
Enjoy!

Feeling Groovy - Tickled Pink Monthly Sketch #5

Hi Everyone,
  I thought I would try the Tickled Pink Sketch Challenge this month.  I don't typically buy rubber and previously they had all rubber but right now they have a few of their awesome stamps as digi's.  If you don't have any you might want to go grab some!! Love them - might have to get them all! 

  I cut the shapes out of 1.33inch squares using my Gypsy.  I placed the shape - heart (Create a Critter), Flower (George) and peace sign (Give a Hoot) inside the square and cut them in three colors.  Next I layered each cut out on a colored square and then placed the peace sign back into those.  I inked all edges in Close to Cocoa.  I colored 60's Willow in Copics and used my nestables to cut her out. 

I then computer generated the sentiment and cut it out using my circle nestables. 

I added this fun peace ribbon that my 7 year old picked out and topped it off with a little bling, a few extra cut outs and a flower sticker.  I also added the background paper from DCWV the butterfly stack to the inside and put a piece of white paper inked on top and added a few of the left over cut outs. 

Make sure to check out the challenge! Thanks for looking!

Enjoy!
