Summer Swingin'

Hi everyone and Happy Sunday!  I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend :)  I have a new card to share with you today so I'll get right to it:

For my card today, I just had to ink up this adorable image.  She's called Summer Swinging by Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.  I inked her up with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and stamped the image onto Copic Xpress It Blending Card.  I of course colored her with my copic markers (for all of your copic marker needs, click HERE.  Here are the colors I used:

Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, R20

Hair: E21, E25, E29

Pinks: RV000, R81, R83, R85, R89

Blues: B91, B93, B95, B97, B99

Yellows: Y34, Y38, E18

Tire: W2, W4, W6

My design paper is called Here and Now by Echo Park.  The swirl in the upper right corner was made using a Memory Box die (Tab will be getting these in the store soon).  The corner element in the bottom left corner was made using the Filigree Corner Die by La La Land Crafts.  Here are a few more pictures:

Birthday Girl

Hi everyone and Happy Wednesday!  This week is a crazy busy week for me.  Believe it or not, my sweet baby Isaac turns ONE on Friday!  Aaaaaah!  How on Earth did that happen?!?!  Time really does fly and all we can do is enjoy every single second of every single day.  We are planning a little birthday for him on Saturday which should be lots of fun.  I just can't believe my little man is growing up! :)  Anyway, enough chit chat and reminiscing :)  You're here to see a card so here it is :)

Today starts the new challenge over at the 7 Kids College Fund Challenge Blog.  Our challenge this week is anything goes, with a twist, if you like, to go vintage.  I decided to ink up this adorable image, it's called Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Birthday Girl and she is too cute.  I inked her up with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and stamped her onto Copic Xpress Blending Card.  I of course colored her with Copic Markers.  Here are the colors I used:

Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, R20

Hair: E21, E25, E29

Pinks: RV000, R81, R83, R85

Blues: B91, B93, B95, B97, B99

Bird: Y35, Y38, E18

Bear: E42, E43, E44, E47

I added the dots to her dress using a white gel pen.  I used Glossy Accents on the balloon and then coated it with Martha Stewart Glitter.  My SP is from the Echo Park Here and Now Paper Pad.  I distressed the edges of all of my papers using my scissors.  The swirls were made using a Memory Box die (Tab will be carrying these in the store soon).  As always, I used my Martha Stewart Score Board to score my cards.  I added a cute pom pom ribbon (from Michael's in the dollar bins) and some roses from Wild Orchid Crafts.  I always use Scor Tape to adhere my ribbons and flowers.  Here are a few more pictures:

What do you think?  Well, that's it from me today.  Thanks so much as always for stopping by and please make sure to head over to the 7 Kids College Fund Challenge Blog to check out all the other creations from the DT.  Have a great day!

 

I Chews You

Hi everyone and Happy Wednesday :)  I hope you are all having a wonderful week.  Today is the start of a new challenge over at the 7 Kids College Fund Challenge Blog.  Our challenge this go around is "anything goes" with a twist to use alcohol markers.  Here is my card:

For my card today, I decided to ink up this adorable from Kraftin Kimmie.  It's called Kraftin Kimmie Bambi Bubble Gum and I think she's adorable :)  I inked her up and stamped her onto Copic Xpress It Card.  I of course colored her with my Copic Markers.  Here are the colors I used:

My DP is from Carta Bella, it's the Carta Bella Cool Summer Paper Pad.  I added some Glossy Accents to the Bubble and to the gumball machine and then I added some Martha Stewart glitter to the bubble.  The cute sentiment comes with the image.  The swirl in the corner is from a Memory Box die (Tab will be selling these in the store soon).  For a finishing touch, I added a bow and a rose from Wild Orchid Crafts.  Here are some more pictures:
