Cards...and happy Sunday/Oscars day

Hello! Happy Sunday to you. :) I realized that I have a few cards that I've made in the last weekish that never made it here to my blog. Sometimes I get antsy, and just post them to my Instagram. :) Do you Instagram? I LOVE it there...drama free social media. I'm @nikkiforaker on IG. :)  Anyhoo, for this first card I used the new drool worthy Beautiful Bouquets Ranunculus set by Wplus9. I colored it with my copics. I used the fab new That Is All set by Wplus9 for the greeting. 

For this card I masked a circle and made a scene with Simon Says Stamp inks. I used the adorable dolphin from the Clearly Besotted Make A Splash set. I colored him with my copics. The greeting is from You're A Great Catch by MyCreativeTime. 

This little cutie is from the Newton's Nook set called Sick Day. I paper pieced and colored her with my Copics. I also used the Stitched Square Dies from MyCreativeTime. 

I hope you have a wonderful day. I'm looking forward to watching The Oscars tonight. I have my fingers and toes crossed for Leo. The Revenant was incredible, and he deserves that golden man! 

Enjoy The Little Things

Hello! It's Favorite Stamp Of The Month day at MyCreativeTime. Today we are using the Enjoy The Little Things stamp. I white heat embossed it on vellum and patterned paper. I used the sweet little bunny die from the To My Best Peep set. I gave that bunny a great big ol' tail. :) I've also used the Stitched Rectangular Frames And More dies,  More Stitched Rectangle Dies, and the Postage Frame Dies.

You are so loved

Hello! I'm playing along in the MyFavoriteThings Sketch Challenge. Here is my card...

I used the adorable You Make My Tail Wag set by MyFavoriteThings for the sweet doggy and her bed. I colored them with my Copics. I colored her to look like my Mom in law's doggy Greta. :) 

I hope you're having a wonderful weekend.

MCT 52nd Edition Release Blog Hop!

Hello! You should have arrived from Lucia's Blog, if not, head HERE to start at the beginning. I made a background by watercoloring with distress inks. Rainbowy goodness. :) I used the incredibly fabulous new Pretty Bold Letter Dies to make the word LOVE. I gold foiled them by using a Zig 2 way glue pen and Deco Foil. Easy peasy. I also used the Stitched Postage Frames dies which I basically can't make a card without these days. :) 

Your next stop on the hop is the delightful RUTHIE.
