In Full Bloom ft. Pajama Crafter Stamps

 

Hello everyone!  Today I'm sharing this sweet floral card using

products from

Pajama Crafter Stamps

In Full Bloom Stamp Set

In Full Bloom Die Set

This stamp set makes such a sweet card.  Most of the sentiments are

spring related, but with another sentiment it works for every occasion!

Let me show you how I made my card.

I first stamped and die cut my images onto white card stock.  I die cut

the images first so I wouldn't have to start over if I messed up - LOL!

I also picked out my papers for my card base.  I used a white speckled card

stock for my A2 size card base, then a panel of pink card stock, then a panel of

flowered card stock that was die cut using a need scalloped rectangle 

die and then finally an aqua panel die cut with another of the same set

of scalloped rectangle dies.

I also stamped and die cut a banner.  Next it was time

to color up the images.  I decided I wasn't going to use the

watering can so I saved it for another project.

I put a layer of the lightest color onto the parts of the image.  This

serves as sort of a map to make sure I didn't color something in error.

I was quite pleased with how the coloring turned out.  I wanted it to

stand out from the background, but not totally overtake it.  It didn't

take long to color and I kept the bend fairly easy.  I used the colors

in the floral paper as my guide to color choices.

Copic colors used:  E30, E34, YR31, B41, B32, B34, BG11, BG13,

G12, YG03, R20, R24, R14, C2, C7, C5, C3

I adhered my aqua panel with thin foam tape.  I added the sentiment in the

lower left corner trimming off the straight end to fit.  I added the butterfly

with foam tape.  I used a shimmer pen on the flower center and the butterfly.

I did a bit of black pen work on the butterfly and then wherever I had used

the shimmer pen I used Glossy Accents.  Then I sprinkled some tiny

gems around the image for a bit of sparkle.  And that finished my card!

I hope you enjoyed today's tutorial.  Such a sweet card with images

that could be used for so may things!  You can find the products that

I used on my card and so much more at

Catnaps - Honeypie ft. Polkadoodles

 

Hello everyone!  Hope your spring is going well.  It's still kind of cold and

rainy where I live...😞. Today I'm sharing a project made with products from

Polkadoodles

Catnaps - Honeypie Digital Stamp

Just Lovely - Honeypie Papers

Just Lovely Sentiments

I made an easel card today to show off Honeypie and her kitty.  It's not difficult

to make, so let me show you how I made my card!

I first composed and printed out my images onto white card stock.

Everything was separate.  I didn't do any layering.  I die cut my plaid

paper with a scalloped rectangle die.  I made a white A2 size top folding

card base and scored the front of it in half.  I cut my die cut plaid panel in half

and adhered one on either side of the fold on the front.

I also cut out my sentiment and backed it with a piece of the left over

plaid.  Next it was time to color my focal - Honeypie and her kitty!

Coloring is probably my most favorite part of card making!  And I

aways start with the face first.

The hair came next.  Often times I'll Google image "hair Copic

markers" for inspiration like I did here.  That gives me a 

jumping off point for the hair coloring.  And usually there is

a list of markers that were used.

I wanted to keep her clothing and hair scrunchies the same colors

as the plaid paper.  To give a little more interest to the scrunchies I

made a pattern with my markers.

I didn't go too wild with the coloring and it worked up quickly.  After

that, I fussy cut the image.

I printed out another sentiment and die cut it for the front of the

card.  To put this together I adhered the longer unmatted sentiment

to the front of the card with foam tape.  I die cut a small lavender

bow and adhered it above that sentiment.  I adhered Honeypie to just the 

front of my card, so that when it was popped up, you would see

her whole image.  I adhered the other sentiment that I had backed

with the plaid paper, inside the card with foam tape to act as a

stopper when the card was put upright.  I added a bit of shimmer with

a silver sparkle pen and added a few dots with a white gel pen.  Then I 

sprinkled a few tiny gems around Honeypie and one right in the

middle of the flower in her mug.  And that finished my card!

I hope you enjoyed today's tutorial.  So easy to make such a cute reminder

of how much you love and appreciate a close friend!  Supplies are listed below.  You can find

Sweet Friends ft. Pajama Crafter Stamps

 

Hello everyone!  Summer is in full swing!  Hope you are having fun

and enjoying some nice warm summer weather!  Today I'm sharing this cute 

card using products from

Pajama Crafter Stamps

High Five Stamp/Die Bundle

Birds of a Feather Stamp Set

Where Hope Blooms Stamp Set

Spring Plaids Paper Pad

This little cat from the High Five Set is so sweet!  And she's playing with

her little bird friends!  Let me show you how I made my card.  I chose my

background paper first from the Spring Plaids paper pad and die cut a panel 

using a stitched scallop rectangle die from my stash and then die cut an oval 

out of white card stock using a stitched nesting oval die.  I stamped out my 

cat image and the 3 little birds onto white card stock. 

I die cut my cat before I colored her.  This cat is only about 2" tall,

and the birds are about 1/2" around, so the coloring was quick.

I colored up the 3 little birds and then fussy cut them.  I stamped the

sentiment onto another smaller oval die cut out of the aqua card stock

that I cut to fit the background of the card which was 1/8" smaller.

I adhered the aqua card stock to the black white card base.  I did round

the corners first.  Then I adhered the plaid piece which was die cut with a

scalloped rectangle die and wrapped around the middle with some 

pale pink and white twine and popped it up on foam tape.  I also used the

foam tape to adhered the cat, birds and sentiment.  I finished with a few

pieces of confetti and some tiny black dots around the birds.  That

finished my card!

This is such a sweet card...the cat is my favorite!  I hope I've inspired

you to make one for yourself to give to someone!  You can find these
