Love Birds

I am so excited to be able to announce that I'm joining the regular design team at the Crafty Stamp Co.! I am still on the Crafty Crew Kit team too so I will have lots of Crafty Stamp Co. inspiration coming your way!!

Today I'm sharing how I created a card using the Love Is In The Air stamp set. What a super sweet set!!

I started my card by choosing my papers from the Spring Is In The Air 6x6 paper pad.

Next I stamped, colored and cut out the image with a die from my stash.


Copics Used:
Grass/Sky: G24, G21, BG000
Birdhouse: E47, E44, E43
Flowers: YG17, YG05, YG13, Y13, Y11, R81, R83, YR09
Birds: Y38, Y32, YR21, YR04
Hearts: BG57, BG53, RV11, RV10, YR02, YR01

To finish the card I cut out my papers with dies from my stash to create my layout, stamped a sentiment,  added some white gel pen details and put it all together. I did pop the sentiment up on some foam dots for some dimension.


A very sweet card for some new or old love birds!

You're Truly Amazing

I found this fun digital stamp, Glasses on My Nose by Krista Smith in my folder of printed images and thought it'd be fun to color her up and get her on a card.

I think this image looks so similar to my daughter. I was smiling the whole time I was coloring and creating. I did giggle though as when I was putting the card front onto the card base I put it upside down from what I had in my mind. It still works but it just wasn't what I had envisioned. 

I think this is the first time I've attempted to color a wallpaper. It's crooked but I think it turned out kind of fun and funky!




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

Seas The Day

I thought it would be fun to create a card from each of the TOP Inky Inspiration Sketches that Crystal Minkler puts out in her Tawny Owl Paperie | Inky Inspiration group. I've used her sketches often but haven't started at the beginning and worked my through them all.

Today I have used Sketch 16~
I used the Oceans of Love stamp set from Kraftin' Kimmie since I found these images already colored up in my stash.

You've Got Mail!

I recently found an envelope full of partially colored images that I had used for videos showing how to create texture, use stencils on images, etc. I decided in the spirit of using my stash that I would work on getting those images onto cards!

The first images I used are the cute quokkas from the Valentine Quokka stamp set. So super sweet and cute!!

I am excited to get these images onto cards and also excited to use the digital stamps I had already printed out that I also discovered!
