Love is in the air

Hiya!!

Are you all ready for Valentine's day? I am not! lol! We still need to get Abbi's Valentin's for school and find a little treat to go with them. I also have to pick up a little something for her and her sister. Yikes! I had better get my rear going huh?

I do however, have all my Valentine cards made ;o) whew!

This is the last one I needed to make. I used the stamp Tilda Holding Heart. I colored Tilda with copics, T6, T5, T4, T3, T2/R20, R21, R24, R35/E000, E00, E93/E71, E74, E77. I added stickles to the heart she holding and her hair bows. I used my clear glitter pen and niji brush to watercolor the sparkles on her socks and shirt.

The sentiment is from Gina K's Fanciful Tags stamp set and is punched out with SU's oval punch and matted on a Spellbinders Fancy Tag. I used Spellbinders Circles and Lacey Circles along with a pleated background to set the sentiment on.

I finished off the card with a paper doily, ribbon, prima and paper flowers and pearls.

The pattern papers are Basic Grey's Scarlet Letter and Urban Couture and the cardstock is Gina K.

I am submitting this card for the following challenges -

Magnolia-Licious - Pink, Red & Black

7 Kids College Fund - Hearts

Paper Pretties - Valentine's Day Inspiration

I am off to finish my shopping for Valentine's Day. Enjoy the rest of your day and thank you so much for stopping by!!

Baking friends

Hi!!

I hope you all had a wonderful Holiday Season!!! I sure did! We were able to spend a lot of time with my family and my husbands family for the Holidays which doesn't happen often enough for me!
I am off work this week so Abbi and I have been having a lot of fun together playing with her new gifts and just hanging out together. Today we met up with her sister Ashley and my Mom to do a bit of shopping and then lunch.
Abbi spent some of her Christmas money today so while she was busy with her newest toys, I was able to sneak away for a bit to make a card. It's been over a week since I have been able to sit down at my craft table which for us crafters seems like forever - right? lol!

The card I made was inspired by this weeks 7 Kids College Fund Challenge. The challenge is Anything Goes and you can read all about it here.

Winter Wonderland

Hello!

Today I would like to share a card that was inspired by the 7 Kids College Fund Challenge. The challenge was Winter Wonderland and you can read all about it here.

The Tilda I used is currently not in the store. She is colored with copics, E000, E00, R20 - skin/E27, E31, E41- hair /T0, T1, T2, T4, T5 - pants/R000, R00 - wings/R81, R83, R85, R89 - jacket & hand muff/T5, T6, T7, T8, T9, R89 - boots. I added a couple of different types of glitters to her. A white glitter to her hood and hand muff and dazzling diamonds to her wings. There is a coat of crystal lacquer on her button, hearts on her hood and the heart on her hand muff.
The log Tilda is sitting on can be found here. I colored the log with copics, E31, E34, E37. I added a some snow glitter along the top to go with the winter wonderland theme.

The circle and doily behind Tilda is made with Circle Nestibilities. For the doily, I cut out the circle using the largest of the circle dies and took one of my MS corner punches and punched around the outer edge. The center was embossed with the swiss dots embossing folder and I added some of the snow glitter to each of the raised dots.

The snowflakes are covered in a chunky snow glitter and I put a paper rose in the center of each one.

The pattern paper is Basic Greys Eskimo Kisses and all the other papers are SU with the exception of Tilda and the log. I used Copic X-press It paper...my favorite for coloring with copics :-)

Thank you so much for visiting today!

Paper Pretties and 7kids

Good morning Stampers!

Today I have a card I made for a couple of challenges. Paper Pretties and 7kids College Fund.
Paper Pretties challenge was to make a square card and 7Kids was a birthday theme. I made a square birthday card to cover both challenges.

Stamps: Magnolia, Gina K

Ink: SU, Mememto, Copics

Paper: SU, Gina K, Copic, DCWV

Other: Ribbon, Primas, MS Branch and Leaf punches,

Stickles, Crystal Lacquer, Spellbinders Labels 10 & 11

Cuttlerbug embossing folder, Clear Glitter Pen

I picked up the Tilda image from Magnolia-licious store but I do not see there right now. Tilda is colored with copics, E000, E00, E25, E32, E43, E49, E53, R11, G20, G21, G24, and G28.
I added stickles to her hair bows and petticoat for some sparkle. I gave her boots a thick coat of crystal lacquer...I don't know about you but I like my girls to have shiny shoes and boots.  Must be because both of my daughters like the shiny, sparkly footwear.

The happy birthday sentiment is from Gina K's Happy Camper stamp set.
The papers are SU, Gina K, Copic X-press It and DCWV Crafty stack.  I picked up some new prima flowers at my local craft store over the weekend so had to use some on my card. I love these little paper rose! I fore see another addiction in my new future! lol!
