Believe in the Magic

Happy Holidays to you all! 

Today I have a new card to share that is up on the Whiff of Joy Blog. 

I made a card using the new Winter Stamp Kit. 

This adorable Henry was colored with copics, cut out, and popped up with some pop dots to give him dimension. 

I love the sentiment because I believe Christmas is a magical time of year. 

Don't forget to keep checking back for more inspiration this month. 

Warm Wishes

I hope you all have been having a wonderful week. Today I am sharing another Magnolia card for you all. These images are just so fun to color and so darn cute to play with. 

Not really too much to say about this card today except I had fun trying to color the pleats in her dress. Not sure I succeeded to the point of some. I would so love to see Alyce color this image so I could get a better idea of how to color the pleats! 

I colored the image with copics YAY! And I remembered to distress everything!

I also finished the card off with a sentiment from a new release set from SugarPea Designs!

SugarPea Sketch

Hello everyone. Welcome to a new Monday and new week.

Today I have a new card for you. 

Today over at the SugarPea Designs blog there is a new sketch challenge.

For my card I used The Merry Christmoose stamp set. It has several sentiments that make this image great for any occasion. Like the sentiment I used "Moosing You"! So fun!

Here is the sketch for the challenge so I hope you get the chance to play along with us. 

I kept this card so fun and simple. First I used the Gift Tag Sugar Cuts Die to cut the tag out. Then I used some white embossing powder to set the image making it pop from the tag. Then I stamped the sentiment, inked all me edges, and glued it all down!

I really hope you have been inspired with this cute card today and I look forward to you sharing your SugarPea creations with us!

Christmas Ornament

I also used a snowflake for a star and covered it with liquid pearls. 

I also used the bow from the Christmas Shape Set.

Precious Layout

Hey everyone. I hope you are having an amazing weekend so far. 

Today I wanted to share a layout I recently made for Gina's Designs Lasercuts. Masculine is still a new thing to me. I couldn't help it but I had to use flowers. 

I had so much fun using this frame in my background and really got to get into the mixed media look of it.

I added several layers on this chipboard. First I gave it a quick coat of gesso. Then I added some Lindy Stamp Gang Sprays and a little bit of some glass bead gel. 

I added some splatters of the color sprays I used. 

My boy has such a sweet smile and he was almost 1 when I had this photo take. I loved adding these pieces to make it more masculine. 

Hope you found so inspiration make sure to keep checking out the blog for more inspiration daily.
