This Little Card of Mine

A little happy bunny banner

The WPlus9 stamp set I used on this card is adorable and I was able to create this card in no time thanks to the coordinating dies. I can't imagine fussy cutting all of these critters.

First I stamped and colored the critters and banner with Copic Markers, then I die cut them. Anyone recognize the dotted paper?  There was a time when I couldn't make a card without using Bo Bunny dotted paper!  Next I embossed the Desert Storm card base with a Quickutz embossing folder (I think it's an old discontinued one). I then rounded the corner. After assembling the card using some foam tape behind the critters I stamped the greeting on the dotted paper. Then I added the dashed lines with a white gel pen. Lastly, I put some Glossy accents on the banner.

A simple gift card set

Kim Hughes from Paper Smooches sent me this stamp set and I was so excited to play with it. I needed an extra gift for my Mom for Christmas so I used it to create a set of cards to give her.

I am sorry that I forgot to write down the colors of ink that I used but it really doesn't matter. Just grab some of your favorite colors and stamp!  I used the MISTI tool to keep things evenly spaced. Then I chose cardstock and cards to complement the ink colors. 

 

Delightful Greetings

Joy to the world

I needed to create a bunch more cards FAST because I didn't make nearly enough. With the help of the MISTI tool and some pretty inks and stamps I was able to create a dozen of these in no time.

Some festive holiday balloons

Another adorable Christmas set from Clearly Besotted -- colored with Copic markers. 

 

A little Hero tree

Isn't this grapevine tree cute?  Loved this Hero Arts set as soon as I saw it.

I stamped the tree and trunk with dye ink and to make the ornaments I used little dots of Liquid Pearls.

Some silver shine

This Clearly Besotted Tiny Trees stamp set was the first set I bought for my Christmas cards this year. I just loved it. 

 

I used my MISTI tool which allowed me to make a number of these really quickly. First I heat embossed the tree and sentiment with silver embossing powder.  Then I matted the cardstock with silver foil. I adhered it to a white cardstock base and done!

Holiday circles

This was a fun and easy card to mass produce using my MISTI... I wouldn't have even attempted these cards without it as I'm sure things would not be centered.

First I die cut the hearts. Then using the MISTI I stamped the greeting in green and stamped and heat embossed the snowflake. To get the colors of the hearts I put cardstock behind the white cardstock.

Gnome for the holidays

A simple colored card today...

To create the strip that the little guy is standing on I taped off a small stripe on white cardstock. I applied Festive Berries ink to create the red stripe. Then I added the thin stripes with a white gel pen. The gnome is colored with Copics. The patterned paper is from one of my old favorites - Basic Grey Aspen Frost. I should have bought 10 of those!

Here are the Copic markers that I used:

Simon Says Stamp You Have My Heart release

Happy New release day!  I know, we're still cramming for Christmas. But it's  kind of fun to look ahead to see what Simon Says Stamp has in store for Valentine's Day. Today's cards use one of the die sets from this release. You can see all of the new products here. 

To create this card I did a little "direct to paper inking" with the ombre ink pad on white cardstock. Then I die cut the heart from it. I die cut the arrow from gold glitter paper. The background alphabet was stamped using Coral Reef ink. I used a greeting from a discontinued stamp set (sorry - any small greeting will do) and stamped it on a little white tag. Then I assembled the card. 

While I had the supplies out I thought I'd make a second card.

I stamped the background using Sparrow Ink on Desert Storm cardstock. Then I die cut the heart from red and white and adhered them, slightly offset.
