I'm Just Here For The Snacks | New Design Team Announcement

I'm so excited to finally be able to share that I'm joining the Pajama Crafter Stamps design team!! I will be on the Night Owl team which means I'll work with the crafty goodies in the store that aren't new releases but still amazing! 


If you haven't ever taken the time to "meet" the owners of Pajama Crafter Stamps, check out this blog post HERE! I loved learning more about the company and the purpose and people behind it!

Onto my card to celebrate joining the team! I adore the Hog Your Shine stamp set and thought it would be fun to use for today! 

One of my favorite movies is Ever After and there is a part where one of the step-sisters says, "I'm only here for the food" so when I saw the sentiment that said, "I'm just here for the snacks" I knew I had to use it plus, it's not wrong since I do love snacks, LOL!


That pig is awesome! I stamped him on Marshmallow Coloring Paper and colored him up with my Copics!


Copics Used:
Shadow/Grass: BG10, YG13, YG11
Pig: E13, E11, R20, R30, E50

I kept the design pretty simple embracing that white space so the pig and sentiment could shine. The Spring Plaids paper is so pretty and worked well with the pig.


I can't wait to share more creations with you using Pajama Crafter Stamps products! Be sure to check them out and follow all their socials!

Have a wonderful day and go do something for yourself and go get crafty!!

Crafty Stamp Co. Mama Ayla Card Inspiration

Hello crafty friends! Today I have a pretty mother-to-be card using the Mama Ayla Stamp Set from Crafty Stamp Co. I wanted to do some different colors than the typical baby/mother-to-be cards so I went with some yellows and oranges. I also decided to not use your typical papers and used the beautiful Summer Lemons & Daisies 6x6 Paper.


I used a die from my stash to create the layout for my card that helps to highlight Mama Ayla and the different baby accessories. The give the cardstock layer some texture I embossed it.


Mama Ayla and the accessories are colored with Copics and have white gel pen highlights.


Copics Used:
Skin/Lips: E13, E11, E0000, R20, R27
Hair: E57, E55, E33, E53
Eyes: YG67, YG63
Dress: Y28, Y26, Y23
Stroller: W6, C7, YR15, YR14, YR12
Onesie: YR27, YR24, YR23, YR21
Bottle: E13, E11, BG10
Butterfly: YR21, YR23
Rattle/Pacifier/Teether on inside: YR27, YR24, YR23, YR21, YR15, YR14, YR12

I added some dimension by adding some foam tape to the cardstock layer and also to all the images.

I finished off the card by stamping the sentiment, "Being a Mother is learning about strengths you didn't know you had", on the inside and carrying the theme inside with more baby accessories.


I really love how it came out and think it is just so beautiful! Have a wonderful day and go do something for yourself and go get crafty!

Mer-Caffeine Cards

Today I have the fifth and sixth card that is finished from the Copic Coloring Tutorial- Koi Fish Inspired Coloring Video. You can watch the video HERE!!

Today's stamp set is from Crafty Stamp Co. and is called Mer-Caffeine. I colored two images from this stamp set so I have two cards today!


What the images looked like before I finished coloring them~


What they look like after I colored them fully~


Copics Used:
Purple Cup: V09, V04, V01, V000, B18, B16, B14, B12
Pink Cup: RV25, RV23, RV21, E13, E11, R20, YR27, YR24, YR23, YR09, YR04, B04, R27

I kept both layouts very similar and used a white background because I was not feeling like cutting out the space between the handle and cup, LOL! I really like how they both came out and think they are so fun!





On the purple cup I used a Scrapbook.com Lavender Glitter Brush Marker and on the pink cup I used a pink glaze pen.





Which one do you like the best? I can't decide so I choose both!
