Hello!

The Uptown Girls and The Curvy Girls from Stampingbella
are my favorite girls when it comes to stamping and coloring.
Love their quirky, cute looks and big hair!

Today´s card was inspired by @amyyoungforever
She often alter the Bella stamps in the most
amazing ways and a while back she used this
"Curvy girl loves coffee" on one of her amazing cards.
She had removed the sleeping mask and the clock was
replaced with a purse! Such a great idea! 

As I wanted to give this a try myself I removed (masked)
her sleeping mask and filled the emty space with strands of hair.
So happy with how that turned out!

I wasn´t too sure how to come up with a small bag, so
I just skipped it this time. And instead of her just wearing
a long shirt (for sleeping in), bare legs and socks, I CASed
Amy´s card and made it into a stylish shirt to wear with a pair
of skinny jeans and boots instead! That is so clever and
suddenly this stamp is so versatile and can be used
for so many different occasions!

The image was colored with Copic markers, the die cut
hello is from the "Gallery frame #1 die" set from Hello Bluebird.

I die cut two pieces of the hello word, placing the black 
slightly to the side as a shadow to the green piece.

Hello!

Today I share a card made with a stamp I purchased a
while back but haven´t come around to use until now.
So many cute cards for cat lovers will be made using
this Curvy Girl Multitasker, from Stampingbella! 

The stamped image is quite large, so I decided to make a
bigger card, 6"x6", instead of my nowadays go-to A2 size.

To incorporate some color and pattern I die cut a circle of
patterned paper, I die cut the same size circle on my card
panel, removed the white circle and placed the patterned paper
circle there instead for a smooth, one layer card panel! 

 The image was colored with Copic markers, for the black polka
dots I used a black gel pen. I cut the image out with my Scan n Cut, and then
 adhered it to the card panel with foam dots for some dimension.

Thank you for stopping by!

Hello there!

Today I have not one but three cards to share! 

They were all made using the most adorable
"Balloon Bunch Buddies" set by Clearly Besotted!

As I used the "Sending hugs & rainbows" sentiment on all
of the cards, I wanted to incoorporate some kind of rainbow, 
and as all of the critters are holding on to balloons I
decided to make them my rainbow element!

Rainbow balloons three different ways! 

The images were colored with Copic markers.
I used my Scan n Cut to cut them out,
and adhered them on foam dots to the panels.

I colored the background panels with Distress inks,
blended with Taylord Expressions Blending Brushes. 

It was so easy to make a seamless blending, making the
ink fade from dark to very light and subtle on the white cardstock!
I finished the panels off by splashing some droplets of water to them! 

Thank you for stopping by!

Hello!

One of my goals for 2020 is to make Christmas cards
throughout the year, well January to September that is, as
I usually start working on my Christmas cards in October.

 I also decided to make two at a time, that saves me
a lot of time especially if I do a lot of masking.  
So here are my first two Christmas cards for 2020!

For these cards I have used a digi stamp from Krista Smith,
a gift from her to her e-mail news letter subscribers in December!
So very grateful for that adorable image! I colored these cuties
with Copic markers, I also added some sequins.
The sentiment banner is from Panduro.

Thank you for stopping by!

Hello!

I´m in rainbow mode at the moment!

Using the mice from the ”It´s a mice time to celebrate”
set by Stacey Yacula/MTF, love this cute and happy set! 

 Making this card I did a kind of emboss/resist technique.
I stamped the images using Versa Color Black, sprinkled on
clear embossing powder and heated with my heat gun.
Once dry, I marked the center of the card vertically, I then placed a
strip of masking tape, as a divider. I used Distress inks for
my rainbow on the right hand side of the panel! 

This is such an easy and fun technique to make a colorful
card without coloring with markers or pencils!

Thank you for stopping by!
