Hugs!

I recently joined a swap where you had to use a Penny Black stamp. I only have a couple sets from Penny Black and they don't see ink nearly enough so I was excited about making this card.

I used the set, Hugs!, for this card. Aren't those hedgehogs just too adorable!! and the little ladybugs, be still my heart!!

Have a wonderful day!

A fun challenge

On one of the groups I'm on we were all sent the same image and then we were to create a card. Then we email a photo of our card to the person who sent us the image and then we are vote on the one we like the best and as a twist, trying to guess who made which card. Fun!
Since I use copics so often, I thought I'd throw them off by using prismacolors and OMS. Cute image we were sent, no?

supplies:
card size: 8 1/2 x 4 1/4
stamps: image from RAK
paper: unknown
ink:
others: prismacolors, OMS, clear copic glitter pen, Fiskars Threading water punch, Bazzill Bitty Blossoms, buttons, stickles, paper piercing,

Flutter By Wednesday #36

When I was looking through my stamps this week for a Flutter By, I found my Penny Black Critter Party and thought this cat was just too fun. It's a smaller image so I needed some ideas on what to do with him so I headed to SCS. I fell in love with Tammi's Wonderful Card and CASE'd it, with a few changes.

I colored the image with copics, prismacolors, OMS and touches of stardust and stickles. I paper pierced along the top and bottom of the image. Paper is Basic Grey's Sultry. I used my Martha Stewart punch on the black piece and the ribbon I had in my stash. I added a butterfly made out of the same Sultry paper and green cardstock made with my Martha Stewart punch to the corner.

On the inside I used a retired TAC set, Sweet Thoughts. I also added a butterfly from the Penny Black set to the inside and envelope. (sorry for the blurry photo)

Remember to leave a comment and a link if you create a Flutter By card, I'd love to see your creations!

Have a wonderful day!!

Make a wish

I recently got a new Penny Black clear stamp set, Critter Party. I just love these images--I say that alot, don't I ? Welcome to my obsession, LOL!
I needed a birthday card for my mother-in-law so I decided to ink it up. I thought these little mice were adorable!
I colored them with copics, prismacolors, OMS and stardust pen. I stamped the cupcake twice then cut one out, glittered it up and added it on dimensionals. I used some Fiskars Corner Rounder scissors I've had forever for the corners of the image. Paper is TAC's retired Frutti Fusion and the ribbon was a gift in one of my recent orders from Paper Garden Projects, which is also where I got this stamp set!

On the inside and envelope I used TAC's retired set, Party Time.

Thanks for stopping by and looking!
