Our Happy Love Story

In today's card, I used amazing products from the new #merakihugs release.   To start, I die cut the LOVE word die from the Crafty Meraki Love Slimline Tag die from pink cardstock and black cardstock. I then I ran the pink LOVE die cut through the machine, this time with the new Crafty Meraki Flirty Wings Background Meraki Para-Dies. I also die cut the Flirty Wings from dark pink cardstock. Then, I glued the pink LOVE on the black one and glued the dark pink bows. I then positioned the LOVE word at the center of my panel and stamped the little girl and little boy from the Crafty Meraki Love Story stamp set on each side. I colored the images with Copic markers. To finish, I stamped the sentiment and cut the strip with a rectangle die before gluing it on the LOVE word. Thank your for stopping by and have a great day!

Piggy birthday wishes

Today is my husband's birthday. Happy birthday!!! This card probably doesn't make much sense to you, unless you've seen some of my earlier IG posts. He likes all things to do with space and has a thing for cute pigs. So this little piggy starts his special day wishing for space gifts. I used a ton of different stamps, so for once I made an effort in identifying what I used in each set #newtonnook Birthday essentials (sentiment) and Oink (sentiment) #mftstamps Mice to celebrate (big wood box), Wood plank background (floor), Hog heaven (small wood box and sentiment) and All tucked in (bedside table) #aallandcreatestamps Sweet dream No. 519 (bed and window) #doodlebugdesign Far out (planets, moon and stars) #hellobluebirdstamps Holiday office party (gift), Merry pigs (gift) and Farmyard little bits (little pig in big box) #lawnfawn Village shops (Toys word) #heroarts Galaxy peek-a-boo (astronaut and rocket) #clearlybesotted Clearly contained cuties (pig in front of the small b...

Year of the tiger

Along with the hop, I'm sharing my first card with products from new release #merakihugs. I have paired the Year of the tiger stamp set with the Wanderlust background I started with the background which I die cut from dark blue cardstock with the Wanderlust background die. This die is awesome as it only cuts out the texture. There is no edge to it, so you can actually use it on any paper size. I also darkened the top edge with Distress oxide Black soot. I then die cut the numbers using Artemio dies. And finally, I layered the background on a gold cardstock I then die cut the cloud shape with cloud edge dies from Hero Arts and I stamped all the cute characters and critters.

Cute as a button

I am so happy to be joining the Crafty Meraki Design Team and so grateful for the opportunity! My first project is a Copic no line coloring card, combining the so cute Crafty Meraki Oh Baby stamp set with Altenew Wallpaper Art. To start, I die cut the front panel with My Favorite Things Slimline Starter die  I stamped one of the cute babies from the Crafty Meraki Oh Baby stamp set with Inkon3 Fadeout No Line coloring Detail Ink and colored it with Copic markers. I added some details with copic liners. I then die cut the image with the coordinating die I stamped the flowers and greenery from the Altenew Wallpaper Art stamp set I colored the images with Copic markers. I also added some accents to the flower centers with a copic liner and a white gel pen. Finally, I used the coordinating dies to cut the images. I then die cut the Crafty Meraki baby Shadow Word die from black and white cardstock inked with Distress oxide Tattered rose. The sentiment below is from the Oh baby stamp set....

I count my lucky stars

Today I'm sharing a one layer card. I wanted to do more florals without doing another flower card, so I thought that creating a scene with a flower background would be an interesting change to just having a simple ink blended background. I also tried to practise shadows and light... I know this is really not perfect but I like how the card turned out. Hope you like it too and never forget to count your blessings 😘 #whimsystamps Soul sisters #aallandcreatestamps Sweet dreams No.519 and Blooming field No.229 #mftstamps Wood plank background #tsukineko Memento inks #inkadinkado Masking paper #distressoxide Salvaged patina, Hickory smoke, Black soot, Antique linen, Vintage photo and Ground espresso #copic #chameleonpens #copicliner #sakura Gelly roll pen #card #cardmaking #cardmakingofinstagram #cardmakerofinstagram #cardmakersofinstagram #handmadecards #diycards #onelayercard  

Fancy hello

My friend Enna highlighted quite correctly that I haven't done a floral card in ages... and in fact I did not since last Summer. So, I'm correcting that today with a floral no line coloring card.
