Wonderful Wednesday with Lexi!

Here's a fun card I made using the new READING LEXI!

Who doesn't love books and reading?  hehe

I adore the fall colours in these Doodlebug papers and I felt that Lexi and her furry puppy would look perfect in an autumn scene!

I coloured her up with my Copic markers and then added some cute little leaf and flower dies!  The tag, which is just perfect for the theme of reading, actually is part of the paper pad!!

My creation today features the brand *new* YOU'RE A HOOT stamp set that was just released last week!!!  It's by new artist Melissa Baker-Nguyen and her work is just phenomenal!

I had so much fun designing this card!  First I pulled out my distress inks and created a fun watercolour background for my little love birds!  Then I stamped the branch directly on the background using versafine ink for a crisp and clear impression.

Next I coloured up two of the owl images from the set using my Copic markers!  They were so quick and fun to colour!  The card is an A2 sized background with turquoise matting and a slip of some leftover Doodlebug paper from one of the fall paper pads!

I added a little flag at the top and stamped one of the fabby sentiments that comes with the set.  I also coloured up the large heart stamp that comes with the set and it's covered in glossy accents....sooo pretty!  I then pop dotte

d the heart and both of the owls and voila!!  Such a fun card!

Harvest Blessings!

There's a new challenge up on the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Blog this morning and it's all about HALLOWEEN!

I love dressing up for Halloween but I also love all the fall weather and autumn decorations like pumpkins and wreaths and fallen leaves!

My card for the challenge features the brand new

 HARVEST BLESSINGS clear stamp set!  I made a fun little autumn scene and I hope you like it!

I stamped up some of the pumpkins from the Harvest Blessings stamp set and coloured them up using my copic markers.  The card is an A2 sized base in kraft and then I used my brand new scenery die from Lawn Fawn to create the tree frame and also the  orange patterned paper for the 'leaves' behind the tree.  I also used a hill die and a fence die!  The papers are from different Doodlebug pads....'cause they're my favourite!

I pop dotted the pumpkins at different heights and then finished off the scene by stamping one of the fun sentiments on a flag and pop dotting it as well!

Hope on over to the KKS Blog to check out more inspiration for the challenge!  ALSO the brand new October Release NEW stamp sets are now available at the shop PLUS this weekend's Frugal Friday Specials!  Happy shoppin'!

Make It Sparkle....with Santa Paws!

This morning I have a card for the Sparkle Challenge over at the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps blog!  Holiday and winter cards are perfect for making things sparkle so I made one featuring the brand new SANTA PAWS stamp set!

The papers I used are by My Minds Eye and I coloured up the girl with the sweet little kitty from the Santa Paws set with my Copic markers to coordinate.  The patterned paper was perfect for the background scenery plus it already had glitter on it!  Then I used a tree/hill die to cut out some layers in white cardstock.  I painted on some stickles to add more glittered and pop dotted the top layer.

I added one of the fun sentiments on a flag, added some silk ribbon for a big bow and pop dotted the little girl!  I love the way this turned out!

This week I used the brand new SANTA PAWS clear stamp set from our holiday release!  This is one of my fave images from the September release and it's by artist Emilie Goulet!

I pulled out some older holiday patterned papers by My Mind's Eye and I love them because they are non traditional with turquoise and pink which are my faves!  I coloured up the image with coordinating Copic markers, which are my favourite medium to work with.

The card is a 6x6 white square base and I used pink and turquoise cardstocks for matting the patterned layers.  I pop dotted the main focal layer and added some fun flowers.  Lastly I added one of the sentiments that comes with the SANTA PAWS set on a flag!

Welcome to another fabby Wonderful Wednesday!

As always, it's Anything Goes and I hope you can play along for your chance to WIN a gift voucher to the shop!

For my card I've used my favourite set....at the moment which is OCEANS OF LOVE!  It's a simple card and those cute images are quick to colour up!

I took my inspiration from the Doodlebug papers and coloured up three of the sweet animals from the Ocean of Love set and cut them out leaving a bit of white around the edges.  The card base is a 5x5 inch square in white.  I used a fun fish bowl die to create the focal point of the scene and used solid cardstocks for the background.  

I used one of the fun sentiments that comes with the stamp set and inked it up and stamped it a little to the right hand side and arranged the images around it, adding a few sequins for sparkle.  The underwater creatures are popped up on foam dots and I added some orange twine around the top.  Lastly I added some of the matte sprinkles in the top right corner.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my creation!  Be sure to hop over to the KKStamps blog to see what other inspiration is there from the design team and then be sure to join us for the challenge!

The card is a 5.25 inch square white base and the papers I used are from the Mermaids Doodlebug 6x6 paper pad.....I looooove Doodlebug!  I made it a shaker card using some leftover clear packaging from some product or other.  I like to recycle from packaging rather than buy acetate when I can.

I coloured up the image with my copic and make her tail sparkly using my Wink of Stella pen.  I added sequins and beads to the shaker part, attached a selection of coordinating flowers using my hot glue fun and popped up the mermaid on top!  Lastly I stamped one of the fun sentiments that comes with the set!
