My Favorite Things - Sweetie Pie

Hi Crafty friends!

Today I have a card using the Sweetie Pie Die sets from MFT.  I think this came out so sweet!  lol.

I die cut the Sweetie outer shadow with Neenah Desert Storm then die cut the Sweetie Pie in red card stock.  I layered them up and love the look!  I them made the little cherry pies.  I used a silver sharpie for the pie tins and used the Tea Dye Distress Ink make the pies look baked.  I added some Barn Door behind the vent holes in the pies and added some stickles so its shiny and glittery.  Last, I added some gel pen for interest.

Thank you for stopping by!

Mama Elephant - Wish Upon A Star

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I have a card I made using the Mama Elephant Wish Upon a Star stamp set.  This card is so beautiful and softly colored and sparkly!

I used a stencil from MFT for the cloud background and I used Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink for that soft effect.  I colored all the images with Zig Kuretake Clean Color markers and fussy cut the images.  I am going to have to buy this die set - lol.  Even though I think I should try and cut them out using my Scan N Cut first!

I used some Diamond Stickles around the edges of the clouds and the moon for the sparkle.

Here is a little video that shows the sparkle. If the video doesn't work you can see the post on my Instagram: @inktimesomewhere

Old Bag - Unity Stamps (TPE240)

 

Hey there!

This week we have a "Theme Challenge" for you over at the Pink Elephant Challenge blog.

 

The theme is "Birthday".  I created a quick card using a new stamp that I purchased from Unity Stamps, it's called "Old Bag" and I LOVE IT! 

 

 

I used my copics to color it up and I added Gold Ice Stickles all over it.  :)

 

Here is a close up.  Just a simple paper bag...  but the kicker is the sentiment!

 

I popped it up on an action wobble, so when you touch the bag it moves from side to side!

Winnie Goes Camping - Saturated Canary

Hi Chicas-

Today I have a card that I made using a new stamp (for me) from Saturated Canary.  I think it is perfect for those hot summer days.  It is called Winnie Goes Camping.

It is so bright and cheerful!  I printed the image and colored it with Prisma Pencils.  I cut out each image and placed them on my background.  I coated the sign, the banner and the flame in the lantern with glitter.

I used a new paper pad from My Minds Eye called The Sweetest Thing - Tangerine.  Very summery!  :)

I am submitting this card in the following challenges:
