Brightly Colored Note Card

Hello! It's beginning to look like Spring outside. My daffodils have bloomed and the trees are budding. So, I decided to make a Brightly Colored Note Card using papers from Doodlebug Design and an image by Whipper Snapper Designs. The paper is from the Hello Sunshine paper pad (2014) and it's been in my stash for a very long time. I liked this paper so much that I bought three of the paper pads. The Just a Note sentiment is retired by Stampin' Up! and I used some very retired oval punches also by Stampin' Up!. The layout is one we used at Tuesday Morning Sketches back in 2019 (click here for link). It worked perfectly for the image size. Everything was adhered flat and that's it. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day!🦋

Gnome Card

Good day crafty friends! Here is a Gnome Card I made just for fun. The image was colored awhile back during a 30-day Coloring Challenge. Copic markers were used to color the Krankle image by Whipper Snapper Designs. The patterned papers were selected out of my scrap bin to coordinate with the image colors. A sentiment by Unity Stamps from their With You I'm Home sentiment kit was added. Everything was adhered flat for easy shipping and that's it. Thanks for stopping by and I wish you a warm and happy day!

Floral Koala Card - TMS #555

Good day and welcome back to the start of our new sketch challenge at Tuesday Morning Sketches! This weeks sketch is designed by Melissa Craig and I decided to play with patterned paper on my Floral Koala Card. I had some scraps of paper that coordinated with the floral background paper which created a really colorful card. The koala image is by Whipper Snapper Designs and was colored with Copic markers. We would love to see how you use the sketch this week! For all the design team inspiration and challenge details click HERE. Don't forget to link your creation by 8 pm EST on Sunday. Thanks for stopping by!

This Floral Koala Card is entered into the Patterns challenge at Use Your Stuff.

Sketch #555:

Under the Weather Card

Happy Friday! The arrival of Spring usually brings on allergies here in Oklahoma. Sneezing is normal this time of year with the increase of tree and grass pollen. Although with the current virus an innocent sneeze can send some people running, so it's probably best to just stay home.

My stash of feel better/get well cards is running low, so I made this Under the Weather Card. The image is by Whipper Snapper Designs and it's called Rainy Day Rabbit. Copic markers were used to color the image and the patterned paper is from the Heidi Grace Sunshowers paper pad by Colorbok. The sentiment is from the retiring Spring Showers stamp set by Newton's Nook. For the final touch I added three glimmer stickers at the bottom and that's it. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you and your family stay well!

Birthday Bouquet Card

Greetings and thanks for stopping by my blog today! Work has been pretty busy this past week, so I didn't have much crafting time. This Birthday Bouquet Card was completed over the course of several days. I started by picking the papers and then coloring the Quill image by Whipper Snapper Designs with Copic markers. A stitched square die was used to cut out the image. I stamped the birthday sentiment directly onto the patterned paper (Simple Stories, Life In Color from 2016) with Memento black ink. Everything was adhered flat for easy shipping. The final touch was adding the little pink flower and leaves. That's it! Hope you enjoy the rest of your day.
