Bella Bear "Beeing" Too Cute!

 Good afternoon, How is it the last day of September, despite all it's troubles 2020 is flying by! I've even started Christmas Shopping!

I'm back with my final inspiration for the Polkadoodles Too Cute new release Bella Bear is back in costume but this time she is a bee:

I matted an A7 card base with the same yellow cardstock and some flowery digital design paper. I cut a strip of a coordinating paper, matted this and added it to the lower part of my card so it looks like a ribbon border. I printed a sentiment cut and matted this adding it to the center of the border.

I centered and added my image and some die cut bees. Finally I added glaze to Bella's nose, the honey on her toast and the drips on the jar.

What I Used:

Digital Image: Polkadoodles - Bella Bear Bee Costume

Digital Sentiment: Polkadoodles - Winnie special Moments Quotes

Digital Design Papers: Polkadoodles - Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Paper Heaven 4

White card for Base: Neenah Solar White Coverstock

Shake the Mummy

 Good Morning! The rain has finally arrived and brought cooler weather with it - Thank goodness.

Guess what - It's Tuesday! so head on over to Digi Choosday and enter our challenge - The design team are focusing on Halloween and making shaker cards so I chose Spooky Mummy as my inspiration image:

What I Did:

I resized and printed the image twice, once on stamping card and once on printable acetate.

I colored him and cut the body from the card one. I then glued the acetate on so the body was on show giving me a window for my shaker. Turning my image over I cover the back side with foam tape excluding the window. I filled the window area with sequins, removed the backing from the foam tape and placed a piece of white card over this. this sealed the sequins in place giving me my shaker. I then added this onto an A7 card base which had been matted with black cardstock. As the image filled the card I didn't feel anything else what needed on that card.

What I Used:

Digital Image: Polkadoodles - Spooky Mummy

Stamping Card: X-Press It

Acetate: From my stash

White Cardstock: Neenah Solar White

I then stamped the web and spider along with some cute bats. Their eyes were lost in the background so I added these with a white gel pen. I added this to an A2 card base. I added Winnie to my card, the sentiment looks too white so I colored over this with an alcohol marker, edged it in black and adhered it in place.

Trick or Treating and Graveyard Fun for Halloween

 Good afternoon, hope you are enjoying your weekend, we need to get out and clear the garden now we've had most of the veggies from it!

I'm continuing with showcasing the Polkadoodles Halloween new release. Today I have designed 2 cards using 2 stamp sets - Happy Halloween Winnie Wednesday and Spooky Time:

My first is a trick or treat scene:

What I Did:

I Stamped Winnie first then masked her to stamp the spooky house. I then colored the images. I made the images into a full scene by freehand adding a path, grass and a starry sky. Finally I stamped bats and the BOO sentiment.

My A7 card base was matted with orange cardstock which I stamped with the bats. I then added a strip of black cardstock and a piece of design paper.

Winnie Wednesday was stamped and then fussy cut her. She does have pumpkins on the original stamp but I decided to use her without these. I then colored her with alcohol markers. I matte an A2 card base with orange cardstock then added my background. finally I adhered Winnie to the corner of the card.

Blessed and Grateful Pumpkins and Fall

Good Morning, September is my favorite month of the year, fall starts, harvest celebrations are happening in our small town and of course pumpkins are in abundance! That's why I couldn't resist coloring one of the gorgeous designs in the Blessed and Grateful digital stamp collection:

This was a very simple card to make. I added the sentiment to the image and, for impact, printed the image larger than I usually do.  I colored the image with Copic Markers paying attention to realistic colors from images on Google.

I matted a 5x7 in card base with deep red cardstock (pulling a color I had used on the image). I finally finished by adding my image to the matted card base. 

Designing this card makes me want to head to the local farms for warm apple cider, corn maze's and hay rides!

You can check out the new release and all of our products over in their store.

Thank you for stopping by. I will be back during the month with more inspiration from Joy Clair. Also my teamies will be sharing with you over on the Joy Clair Facebook Group.

Winnie Wednesday and her Skull!

 Good afternoon, Thank goodness it's Friday, my week days are filled with supervising school work so the weekend means a mental break!

Today I'm showing more of the New release stamps from Polkadoodles. I'm once again using Boneshakin Halloween Winnie Wednesday:

What I Did:

I stamped the image and pumpkin onto stamping card, I then used my scan n cut to cut the images out before I colored them with alcohol markers.

I matted a black A2 card base with orange card stock, I also cut a mat from black cardstock but die cut a Halloween aperture from this before adhering to my card. I stamped the sentiment in the middle of the aperture and arranged my images on the card to finish the design.

What I Used:

Stamps: Polkadoodles - Boneshakin Halloween Winnie Wednesday Clear Stamps

Stamping Card: X-Press It

Alcohol Markers: Copic

Black Card: Core'Dinations Premium

Die: Gina Marie

Orange Cardstock: Core'Dinations Premium

Love Endures Fall Leaves

Good morning, fall has finally arrived this week I'm thankful for the cooler temperatures but don't like all the rain that has come with it.

 My card today is using the Love Endures Clear Stamp Set, this has a set of leaves that are great colored with the gorgeous colors fall brings.

I started my design by stamping the 3 different leaves multiple times. I then colored them with alcohol markers and fussy cut them, finally I shaped them with a ball stylus. I matted my card base with a deep red cardstock. I stamped a piece of patterned paper with Give Thanks, both are sentiments included in the Love Endures set. I adhered this to my card base and arranged my leaves so the look as though they are blowing across my card. I then added some enamel dots from the Fuzzy Peach Clear Enamel Dots.

I love these leaves and know they will appear on lots of my fall cards this year.

Sunflower Fall Release and Blog Hop

 Good morning! We say goodbye to our house guests today, 8 dogs has been fun but I'm ready for a rest!

Joy Clair have an amazing September release starting today with a blog hop.

My inspiration card is using Thankful For You stamp collection I love sunflowers! Because of my style of card I have made 2 designs for this release my first uses the sentiment Hello Friend:

The second uses Thankful For You:

Both sentiments are part of the Thankful For You stamp collection. I started by printing 3 sunflower images. One of then I placed the Hello Friend sentiment. I also printed the Thankful For You sentiment. I then colored only one of the images. I die cut a circle from my colored image and put to one side keeping both the circle and the outer part of the sunflower. I matted a black card base with brown and yellow cardstock and then added my uncolored Hello Friend image. I then added wet glue to the back of the colored circle and lined it up on the uncolored image making a spotlight effect. I then added a few clear enamel dots to the card to finish my design.

My second card was made in the same way except I lined up the outer part of my colored sunflower and glued it in place. These were then trimmed and matted on yellow card. I wrapped a length of ribbon around a piece of yellow card and patterned paper and added this to a top folding card base. My Sunflower was adhered in place with foam tape. Thankful For You was matted with yellow card and foam tape glued this in place. A few yellow dots scattered on the uncolored portion of the card finished the design.

Encouragement Card made with Butterfly Kisses

Good Morning! Mornings have got earlier for me now school has started 

 I am sharing a card today that would be great as an encouragement card.  I use a stunning stamp set from Joy Clair called Butterfly Kisses.

I love this set for making quick cards. The butterflies are mainly a flourish in one stamp with a few extras so you can extend the flourish. Using my Misti I stamped the flourish, sentiment and 2 extra butterflies all at once.

I then colored the butterflies with my Copic markers. I wanted them to pop off the paper so I also colored around then fading my coloring outwards.

I matted a top folding black card base with a cardstock that coordinated with the butterflies. I added my topper and finally, to break up the white space I added some matt yellow enamel dots.

  

I like to batch make cards and this one is easy to replicate a number of times once you have the stamps arranged. 

Thank you for stopping by and I hope this post gave you some inspiration for using Butterfly Kisses.

Friends are the best gifts

 Good morning, it's day 2 of virtual school and all is well!

As it's Tuesday that means one thing here on my blog.......Digi Choosday!!! The design team's inspiration this week is summer splash - CAS card for a Friends. I decided I would use Horace and Boo, They have some great summer images and this one I felt fit with the theme:

It was a very simple card to make as I used pre-colored images. I resized the Slurpies image from the Horace and Boo Big Kahuna Collection and added my sentiment which is part of the same collection. I then printed this onto stamping card. I matted a black card base with deep pink cardstock and added my image. Finally I added Crystal Glace to both noses.
