SO Loved with Stamping Bella

Hi ya everyone!  Today I'm sharing a cute card using the adorable Peony Baby in a Pot from Stamping Bella.  I first stamped the baby in the pot and then masked her.  Next I inked up just the pot of the stamp and stamped to one side.  Next I inked up just the floral part and stamped onto the pot.  I did the same on the other side.  I thought it would be cute to create a fun scene with this stamp so this masking and wiping ink off worked beautifully!  I colored the scene in Copic markers.  Once it was complete I did take my MFT mini edge cloud stencil and some Fiesta Blue Catherine Pooler ink to make a few clouds.

Happy Mother's Day - 7 Kids Craft

Happy Mother's Day!  I'm sharing this cute card I made for my mother-in-law using the ever so sweet Stamping Bella Peony Baby in a Flower Pot.  Isn't so sweet?  I colored this sweetie in my Zig Clean Brushes on Bristol Smooth Paper.

I masked the little babe off with masking paper, and then used my LDRS Creative Plaid stencil to create a little background with Catherine Pooler Mint to Be ink.  Last, I added some Nuvo Drops in Pink Orchid and some sequence.

I hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day today.  Remember the sale at 7 Kids Crafts!  20% off a number of fabulous items and free shipping over $35!

I adore this new release, especially because of this amazing stamp set and die set paired with the Daisy Delight paper!  Truly amazing together as you can create those beautiful scenes everyone loves.  I stamped the You're So Tweet birds, nest, birdhouse and all the leafy accents in my Hybrid Raven ink.  I then colored them with my watercolor markers.  I then fussy cut each piece which was very simple.

Next I die cut the house line using the new Sweet Village Border die in Kraft card and the green sheet from the Daisy Delights 6x6 paper.  I actually added a few house roofs with markers and pasted the tree tops from the paper too.  I layered everything on the adorable cute pink polkadot paper from the Daisy Delights too!  Love this paper pack.  Last, I cut the adorable oval from the new Petallet die and stamped the sentiment in Raven Hybrid Ink.

In the end I added a number of flowers stamped in Pink Tutu Hybrid Ink to add!  Love how amazing this whole release works together!  Don't miss out.

A Mother's Day Card - Tiddly Inks Challenge

 Hi ya everyone!!!
  It's Tuesday and that means a brand new Tiddly challenge at the Tiddly Inks Challenge Blog!  This week we would love to see you create a VINTAGE Mother's Day card.  How fun?  I hope I pulled it off!  I used these adorable pixie image that Christy created called Party Time.  I colored them in Copics and fussy cut them.  I also inked the edges with Old Paper ink from Tim Holtz.

 I grabbed the adorable paper from Echo Park called For The Record and layered a number of elements that come in the stack.  I also added some twine and a large pearl medallion from my stash.  On the Echo Park paper I used a stamp of flowers and sentiment.  The mom on the banner is from a little alphabet set I got a few years ago.  I inked each piece of paper in the Old Paper ink.

 I LOVE how this card turned out and I hope my mom likes it!  I also hope I pulled off the Vintage look!  Join us for the new challenge at the Tiddly Inks challenge blog.  Also, you have to use a Tiddly image to play - all images can be found right HERE in the shop!!!

Happy Mom Day! - The Greeting Farm and iCopic Challenge

 Hi ya everyone!
  So I took the plunge and bought some RUBBER!! LOL - yup and the set I bought is The Greeting Farm stamp set called My Favorite Things which I got at iCopic.  Not only did they get here in two days but they are a great size to work with.  My biggest concern with rubber is the size - some are just so small and that's why I typically work with digi's.  But The Greeting Farm stamps are the perfect size.  I colored her with my Copics.  I wanted to enter the iCopic Lover challenge which is add some grass.  So after adding a bit of grass I fussy cut her.

  I used my gel pen to add some white little dots on her dress and also used my clear spica pen to add glitter to the stars and bow!  I love the Spica pens - the glitter is just ever so soft and delicate.  It's very hard to photograph.

Next, I grabbed my Echo Park paper called For the Record (I LOVE LOVE LOVE this paper!).  Added a few layers using my nestables and added Happy Mom Day with a dollar set of sentiments. 

 Lastly, I added some Baker's Twine!  I want to enter this card into The Farm Fresh challenge for The Greeting Farm too!

Mom's Day - Crafty Creations Challenge

Hi ya everyone - this week at Crafty Creations we are asking everyone to show us their Mom's Day cards.  The Stamping Boutique is sponsoring this week and I picked this adorable little flower cart.  I colored the image with Copics and used my new nestable set to cut it out. 

 All the paper on this card is from the Echo Park stack Life Is Good.  I love this paper - it cuts like butter on the Cricut and it looks gorgeous in general!!!  I love it - bright colors and fun designs. 

I added a bit of stitching for fun and to dress up the card a bit and then added the MOM sentiment also from the Echo Park set.  Please join us at Crafty Creations this week for your chance to win a gift from The Stamping Boutique.
