I used Copic Markers to color in the dog using dots to create something that looks like "fur."

I layered it over some pattern paper from an old "Head Over Heels Collection" by Bo Bunny Press and Echo Park.

I then added some twine around the bottom and stamped a sentiment in the middle of the heart. I think this came out so cute.

 Hey Friends!!

Today I am popping in with a card for the NEW round of the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge!!! Challenge #611 is a COLOR challenge. Create a card using the colors RED, BLACK and WHITE.

We have a sponsor this round-Last Minute Manda. I used one of the adorable dogs from her Little Valentine Digital Dog Set that she generously gifted the Design Team.

I printed this puppy out larger than I usually do because I wanted him to be the showcase of the card.

I colored in my dog with Copic Markers and cut it out. I layered it over some pattern papers from an old paper pack by Bo Bunny Press.

I added some tags and a "stamp" from the Ticket Essentials by 49 & Market. I adhered die cut hearts over the top of them and covered them with Glossy Accents.

Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #587

 Hello Friends!!!

Today I am popping in with a card for the NEW round of the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge!!! Challenge #587 is a COLOR challenge. Create a project using the colors RED, PINK and WHITE.

My card was created with a digital stamp from our sponsor this round- All Dressed Up Stamps. I chose to use All Dressed Up Stamp's the "A Little Note" digital stamp for this project. 

Below is the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Badge for CIC587.

I chose to print my stamp in black ink onto a kraft cardstock background. Then I colored it in with both Copic Markers and colored pencils. 

I chose to keep the coloring kind of "rustic" looking because I didn't want to shade in the whole piece of "paper" on the typewriter in white. I kind of took how I wanted to color the image in from there. 

I layered the kraft panel over a card base that was layered with a scrap of pattern paper and some pink and red cardstock scraps. The addition of the red rhinestones were the last step.

A Couple of Valentine's

Hey friends!! I am just popping in with a couple of Valentine's I created. 

My first cad was inspired by last week's Freshly Made Sketches #571, which I sadly missed the deadline.  However, I will still be entering it into a couple of challenges.

The sketch that inspired me is below:

I used a mixed a bunch of old and new supplies. The "One Kiss Die" is from Couture Creations and a leftover from THIS card. I have used these lips in so many cards and I LOVE them!!

The background paper is "Ink Drop-Rose" from the Craft Consortium and I received it this weekend. I am supposed to be on a buying freeze but it has not been going well. Their is always March, right?

The border is a Spellbinders May 2020 Small die of the month. I NEVER used it and I thought now was the perfect time!! I added a sentiment from Hero Arts "Love Sentiment Strips" stamps and the little tickets are 49 & Market's "Ticket Essentials-Salsa." 

I am entering this card into Papercraft Challenge #90-Anything Goes.

My second card I used the candy kiss die from the January Hero Arts Card Kit. 

I die cut a ton out and adhered them to a red 4 1/4" by 5 1/2" piece of red cardstock. 

I added a vellum heart that I die cut using Kat Scrappiness' "Hearts of Love" dies. The stamped sentiments are from My Favorite Things "My Galantine" stamp set (retired) and Say it With Stamps "Kiss Me" stamp set.

The SWAK is a die cut that is also from Say it with Stamps "Kiss Me" dies. I LOVE how this card came out and it was so fun to create!! 

I am entering this into this week's Simon Says Stamps Monday Challenge -"Love is in the Air."

Well that is all from me today. I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by today. Have a FABULOUS day!!

I Love You More

 Happy Tuesday!! It has been snowing here all day and I had a couple hours in my craft room. I created a couple of Valentines.

The first I used Inspired by Challenges (#IB160). 

I used both the badge and the sketch to create my card.

I used the new Ranger Kitsch Flamingo Distress Ink to blend behind my heart that I die cut from some 49 and Market Vintage Artistry Paper.

The hearts behind my kraft heart are from Simon Says Stamp Stacked Hearts Die and the Macrame Borders and Tassels dies for the border is from The Greetery. 

For my second card was inspired by The Card Concept Challenge #148 and Just Us Girls #570 Valentines. I used the sketch from Try Stamping On Tuesday. 

 

I started off with using a pattern paper background.

The die cut hearts are from Lawn Fawn-Candy Hearts. The sentiment is from My Favorite Things "My Galantine."

That is all from me tonight. I thank you for taking the time to stop by.

A Birthday and a Valentine

(Affiliate links used in this post, when possible, at no extra cost to you.)

Hi everyone!! Just a quick post with  some cards I created but never posted for some defunct challenges, as well as new challenges. I am great at doing that as of late but oh well.

The first card is a birthday card. I started off by using the CASE This Sketch #302 as my base and built on from there.

I used images from various different My Favorite Things stamp sets. The sentiment is from Technique Tuesday's Umpteenth Birthday stamp set.  I LOVE the fun sentiments from this set!!

I actually used a lot of images that I had previously colored and then die cut. Then when I have a card I want to make I have images to choose from.

This sketch was tough for me but I was determined to complete it as I am trying to challenge myself a bit more and get out of my comfort zone.

The polka dot paper is from my scrap bin.

I am entering this into Seize The Birthday challenge #157 but am not using the topping, stamping only.

My second card I created for two challenges-The Card Concept #106 Pink Challenge (which I missed but oh well!!) and Uniko's Challenge #51 Anything Goes with a twist of Love. 

 

I started off this card by stamping two hearts in different pinks onto white cardstock using Simon Says Stamps Tons of Hearts stamp set.

I added a pig from Hello Bluebirds Farmyard Little Bits and colored it in using Copic Markers.

I then die cut the panel using Lawn Fawn's 4 Bar Stitched Dies and layered it over a couple of pieces of patterned paper scraps that I had adhered to an A2 sized, pink card base.

I added some Tonic Aqua Shimmer  and then Glossy Accents over the heart the little pig is holding and the tiny pink hearts to finish off my card. I think this is one of my favorite cards I have created in a LONG time and think I will be looking through my tiny images to create a few more.

I thank you for taking the time to stop by my blog. I hope you all have a simply FABULOUS Tuesday!!
