Wishing you showers of joy

Hello! I hope you've all had a nice weekend. I created this scene with a few sets by Mama Elephant. I used the Chance Of Rain, Woodland Gifts, and Ella And Friends sets. I colored everything with my Copics. I added wink of stella and glossy accents for shine. I used the Stitched Rectangular Frames And More dies from MyCreativeTime for the panel. 

I hope you have a great week!

You are so loved

Hello! Today is the start of the fabulous Kathy Racoosin's 30 Day Coloring Challenge. It is so much fun to be motivated to color something every day. If you haven't played along before, I urge you to check it out. Lots of fun! :) Here's my card for today...

I just got the Woodland Gifts set by Mama Elephant, so I had to get it inky. I stamped and paper pieced them on the new Spring Fling patterned paper by Pebbles. Then I colored and shaded them with my Copics. I used the Stitched Honey Comb Dies by MyCreativeTime. I also used the Stitched Rectangular Frames And More Dies by MyCreativeTime. 

I hope your February is off to a great start.

May your days be merry and bright

Hello! I used the adorable Reindeer Games set by Mama Elephant for this card. I started by using the Stitched Rectangular Frames And More dies by MyCreativeTime to cut the panel. Then I used the super fun Stitched Interactive Window Trio die by MyFavoriteThings. I stamped and colored my images with Copics. 

And the sweet reindeer are hiding in there. Eek! :) The greetings is from an old PeachyKeenStamps set that is no longer available. 

I hope you have a MERRY day. :)

Bringing sexy sweaters back

Hello! I hope you're having a great weekend! I used the super awesome Ugly Sweater set by SimonSaysStamp for my ugly sweater. The reindeer on it is from the Reindeer Games set by Mama Elephant. I colored him with my Copics. The greeting is from the Sweater Words set by SimonSaysStamp. 

I hope you have a HAPPY tomorrow.

Believe in the magic of Christmas

Hello! I LOVE LOVE LOVE how this card turned out. :) I think it's the first time I've made a spinner element. So fun! I used the adorable Reindeer Games and matching dies by Mama Elephant for my spinner reindeer. I colored him and my little scene with my Copics. I made the scene with the tree from the Reindeer Games set as well. I masked off the circle for the scene and colored it. 

I used the AWESOME NEW Stitched Postage Frame Dies from MyCreativeTime. Seriously, these dies are so cool...and I think they're my new fave! :) I also used the Bunch Of Fun Circles Dies by MyCreativeTime for the circle in the front of the card, and for the masking on the inside. The greetings on the outside and inside are from the Boughs Of Holly set by MyCreativeTime. I used the Diagonal Stripe Stencil by SimonSaysStamp for the red on the front. OH, and I used clear thread that I got at Michaels for the spinner. :) 

I hope you have a FANTASTIC day!!!

p.s. It's so fun to watch that little reindeer spin! :)

Have yourself a merry little Christmas

Hello! Here's a card I made today to fit the cute theme in the Holiday Style class at OnlineCardClasses. I used the adorable Reindeer Games set by Mama Elephant. I did some masking to make them stand on each other. :) I colored them with my Copics. I used Spring Rain ink by SimonSaysStamp for the sky. The greeting is from the Belly Band Sentiments set by MyCreativeTime. BTW I used my MISTI tool for this. I could kick myself for waiting so long to get one. It's seriously awesome. 

I hope you're having a great day! I have my windows open, and it's gorgeous out today here in Florida. I just checked, and it's 70 degrees. Perfect. :)

Elephant baby card

Hello! I made this card to congratulate my brother-in-law and sister-in-law on their little baby on the way. I used the Ella And Friends stamp set from Mama Elephant. I stamped the critters on patterned papers from the Hip Hip Hooray 6x6 pad by Doodlebug. I used my copics to do some shading on them, and to create the "ground" under the elephant. I didn't add a greeting to the front in case they wanted to put it in the nursery. :) To make the frame I used the Stitched Rectangular Frames And More Dies and the Stitched Oval Dies from MyCreativeTime.
