A Very Girly Card

Hey everybody!  I’m back to share a card I made recently, for a little girl (in case that wasn’t obvious from my title).  And no one draws little girls more beautifully than Elisabeth Bell – just look at how cute this one is!  This image is from an Elisabeth Bell stamp from Belles & Whistles.  And the coloring of the kitten is based on our beloved Ragdoll Fluffy.  Just paying her a little tribute.

I have been hoarding this Prima designer paper for a while, waiting for the right moment to use it.  The butterfly on the card is cut from the paper, and I glittered it up a bit with a Sakura Gelly Roll pen.  An easy card to make, overall!

Thanks so much for visiting – see you again soon!

What I Used:

Paper:  Papertrey Ink white cardstock; Stampin’ Up! Lovely Lilac; Prima designer paper

Stamp:  Belles and Whistles – Elisabeth Bell; Inkadinkado (sentiment)

Ink: Versafine Onyx Black & Stampin’ Up! Lovely Lilac

Accessories:  Spellbinders Nestabilities curved rectangles die; EK Success deco corner punch; Stampin’ Up! ticket corner punch; Dew Drops; Sakura Gelly Roll pen in clear; dimensionals

A Day that Sparkles

Hello – happy Thursday!  I have a quick card to share today – a birthday card for my beloved little girl!  I just got this brand-new Elisabeth Bell Aladin set and I could not wait to use this image for my daughter.

This was a pretty interesting image to color – the veil stumped me a little bit!   I added a bit of the lavender color to hair to accommodate the veil.  I hope it worked out.  I have yet to get into the habit of taking note of the Copics that I used to color, but if anyone is interested, please feel free to leave me a comment and I will figure it out for you. 

Thanks so much for visiting – see you again soon!

What I Used:

Paper:  Papertrey Ink white cardstock, Stampin’ Up! Orchid Opulence and Lovely Lilac cardstock

Ink: Stampin’ Up! Lovely Lilac

Accessories:  Cuttlebug – Spellbinders Nestabilities Label die, Textile Texture embossing folder; EK Success border punch;  Kaiser rhinestones; ribbon; dimensionals; Copic markers.

Birthday Wishes

Oh, my poor neglected blog!  Rather than dwelling on my guilt over my lack of posting, how about I just show you my card?

This one, a birthday card for my sister, is my latest attempt with my Copics. I believe that this Elisabeth Bell stamp is meant to be a holiday image (note the holly!), but I overlooked that for this card since I wanted to use purples.   Hopefully I got away with it! 

Here is a look at the entire card:

And a closer look at the stamped image that was colored with Copics:

I hope you all have a great weekend!  I’ll definitely be posting more projects next week.  Thanks so much for visiting!

For the Birthday Girl!

For my post from earlier today about Twilight Tuesday and the New Moon Blog Hop, please click here!

And onto the new post – I am excited to share these two projects because I had such a fun time making them!  This set, including a birthday card and a journal, is for an 8-year-old girl and I loved using these bright, cheerful colors and the lovely fairies!  I’ve got lots of photos to share – let’s get going!

Here is the front cover of the journal.  The fairy stamp is from Inkadinkado and the letters for the name were cut with my Cricut and the Don Juan cartridge.  I love the look of that font – it’s clean-looking and whimsical all at the same time.  I wanted the fairy to be really colorful, so I stamped the image with a Kaleidacolor Spectrum ink pad and colored it with Copic markers with touches of glitter from Sakura Gelly Roll pens. Here is the inside of the journal. The inside covers are covered with Stampin’ Up’s Cameo Coral and the pages are plain white.

And here’s the birthday card! Another fairy image from the same stamp set is on here, and I colored her with Prismacolor pencils and added lots of glittery touches. I managed to get a couple of photos that actually show that, which never happens – see below! I am loving these new Nestabilities Labels (these are Labels 9) – such a lovely shape.

I don’t yet have any items like this for little girls in my Etsy store, but I hope to add some items like this there soon.  Thank you for visiting – see you again soon!

Halloween, Vampire-Style

Happy Halloween everyone!  This is a good day to share a project I made with Beth’s StampInsanity Stamp set called Halloween Henry.   This set, along with all of the other stamps in the StampInsanity line, are available exclusively at Tonya’s Stamp Happens Shop.

And here is Henry himself, in full vamp regalia.  One thing I love about this guy is that he seems so happy to be a vampire!  He’s quite pleased about the whole situation.   Another thing from Tonya’s shop, used in this card – my new of Copic markers!  I’m not sure, but I believe this might be my first Copic-colored card.  It honestly didn’t occur to me to record the information on which colors I used, but I will definitely work on that for future posts.

Have a great weekend, and thanks so much for visiting!
