Hello everyone!  Today I'm bringing you this very fun card 

using products from

Pajama Crafter Stamps

Chuggin' On Stamp Set

This was a really fun project and it's all about the coloring!  Let

me show you how I made my card.  I started by stamping

my images and sentiment in alcohol marker friendly ink onto

white card stock.

The only colors I was really sure of was the jeans.  So I started

my coloring with those markers.  

I took my time coloring and thought about what colors to use that would

be harmonious without over-doing it!

I moved on to the skin and hair.  I like doing this in the beginning of my 

coloring and it allows me to adjust colors as I move along.

I knew I wanted to color the travels mugs green so everything else

had to support that color.

Once I was done with the coloring I fussy cut them out leaving

a narrow white border.

Copic colors used:

B91, B93, B95, B97, B99, E47, YR31, E43, E55, E74, B97, B26,

BG01, RV95, R00, RV10, E30, E34, E35, E31, E15, E19, YR24,

YG11, YG23, YG67, E08, Y02, R20, R22, R24, 100, YG95, Y15,

Y35, Y38, C1, C3, YG99, YG91, W3

I prepared an A2 size side folding card base from cream card stock.  I found

some background paper from my stash that was neutral and quite simple.  I

used the same cream card stock and used a 3D embossing folder on it to

provide some texture.  I die cut the panel for the patterned paper.  I popped up

,u images on foam tape, including the sentiment which I had stamped out

onto white card stock and then colored with my markers.  I placed a tiny gem

in the ear of the girl for an earring and one on her jeans for the snap.  I

also adhered a few gems here and there.  And that finished my card!

I hope I've inspired you to create something fun with this stamp set.  You

Hello everyone!  I thought I would create something different

today.  And to do that I am using products from

Kate Hatfield Designs

We Go Together 3

How cute is this digital stamp set!  Let me show you how I made my card! 

 To begin I sized my images so they would fit on an A2 size card base.

 

Time to color up these cuties!

 

 

I worked at the coloring and shading.  I googled Copic marker color palettes 

for the colors I used.

 

 

I really wasn’t concerned about coloring outside the edges except where it impacted

some other color.  I had planned to fussy cut them.

 

 

Coloring is all done.  I fussy cut the elements and then edged them with

a black marker.

 

 I chose my background paper from my stash.  I popped my elements up on

foam tape.  When I printed out my images I also printed out a sentiment using 

a font that I have in my computer.  Then I die cut it.  I sprinkled some tiny heart

sequins and that finished my card project!

 

 This We Go Together series of digital stamps is so cute.  And there are endless

possibilities for finding your perfect couple!  This stamp set is available at

Hello everyone!  Hope everyone is well and keeping warm!  Today

I'm sharing this adorable bear with products from

Loved Up

Weekend at Home

This is such an adorable digital stamp set.  So many images to choose

from.  I've only used one of them here!  Let me show you how I made

my card!  I started by sizing my image so it would fit onto an A2

size card.  I used a paper pattern from the Weekend at Home set.  I

knew this colorful paper would work well since my main element

did not have a lot of different colors.  This is how it printed out.

I die cut my image right away.  Sometimes I do that and it gives me

a better perspective of my card.  On to the coloring.

I started out light.  I was really trying to be careful that I didn't

get my darkest color too dark.

I started adding in darker tones.  To create texture I colored with a

more swirling scribbled motion.

At this point I really didn't like how it was looking.  So I

continued coloring, trying not to let the dark overtake the shape.

I was still not happy with the bear, but I need to change colors.  I

was getting frustrated with how the bear was looking, so I colored

in the heart with the lightest tone.

I went back to the bear and added more color to the head.  Finally

I was completely happy with the way it looked.  I did a bit of

white gel pen on the bottom paws and also the eyes.  I did a dot

of white in the pupils the eye and the with a black fine liner pen

I added a few eye lashes at the outer corners and a curved line underneath

the pupil.  I added white dots on both corners of the eyes.  I added

cheeks with a pink marker and adhered this panel to an A2 size

Kraft colored card base.

I had printed out a sentiment using a cute font and then die cut it 

with a banner die from my stash.    My plan was to cut around the bottoms

 of the paws and slide the banner underneath them.  But I changed my mind because

I'm not that confident with a knife!  So I reprinted just the paw part

of the image, colored the paws again and cut them out.  I used a black

marker and went around the edges of these after I cut them out.

I finished up coloring the heart - I only used a 3 color blend for

the heart.

I adhered the paws to the banner.  To do this I laid the banner where

I wanted it to be and then adhered the paws so they would overlay the

ones on the flat image.  Because I adhered the paws to the banner first, I

was able to pop it up on foam tape and not worry about height.  I 

finished with a few tiny gems scattered about.  And that finished

my card project.

I love how this came out and I'm glad I kept working with the

colors of the bear.  I hope I've inspired you to use digital papers

to back your images as well.  You can find these images and

so much more at
