Kawaii Meow

Good afternoon, we are having a lazy day today since so much snow was forecast.

I'm back today with the other Kawaii new release from Scrapper's Delights. This is a collection of images and sentiments called Kawaii Meow. I have chosen to use 2 of the images and a sentiment but there is also a milk carton, a food dish and paw print included along with another sentiment.

It is just a hungry kitty:

What I Did

I used my graphics program to put the kitty in her bed and add the sentiment, having png files really works for scene building! I then printed onto stamping card.

I colored the kitty and bed with copic markers.

I made a white 5x7in card base from 110lb card and matted this with a green card that coordinated with my coloring.

I adhered my image to my card, die cut 2 paw prints and added these.

To finish the card I colored the sentiment with a blue glossy gel pen and added crystal glaze to all the eyes and the kitty's nose.

What I Used

Digital stamps: Kawaii Meow

Stamping Card: X-Press It

Copic Markers

White card: Core'Dinations Premuim

Green Card: Core'Dinations

Kraft Card: The Paper Shelter

Glossy Gel Pen: Gelly Roll

Paw Print Die

Crystal Glaze: Nuvo

Kawaii Kitties

Good afternoon, we are waiting on another snow front coming in that is supposed to last the weekend. We didn't get half of what was expected last week so we'll just so how it goes. It is very cold out though!

My card today is highlighting a new image from Scrapper's Delights. Janice who owns the company has decided to design Kawaii images and I LOVE them! So much so that i have used both of the new images. Today's card is using Kawaii Miss Kitty She is so adorable and has her own sentiments included.

 

Here's What I Did

I printed the image and Hello sentiment onto stamping card and colored her with my Copic markers. I added some freckles with a gel pen to both her and her kitty hat. 

I then used my scan n Cut to cut the Hello letters. While it was cutting I trimmed my image down and inked the edges of the card.

I cut my card base from 110lb card and folded this to form a 5x7in card

I then chose some printed patterned paper that fit with my colors in my image. As this had a fine green line running through it I used green card to mat this and my image on to.

I adhered my image to my card, as is normal for me I put her at an angle. My letters were placed on pop dots and positioned along the bottom of the card

Here's What I Used

Digital Stamp: Kawaii Miss Kitty

Stamping Card: X-Press It

Copic Markers

Uniball white gel pen

Distress Ink: Worn Lipstick

White card: Core'Dinations Premium

Green Card: Core'Dinations

Patterned Paper: Lili of the Valley (retired)

Zipdry Glue

foam pop dots

Finding Balance

Good afternoon, It's the 3rd Thursday of the month which mean Scrapper's Delights is doing their thrifty Thursday offers this week, head over to their store to see what fab offers they have

I got the play with anime Grace, she is both an angel and a devil, which sounds very much like Mollie but lets not go there! No, life is all about balance you can't take the good without the bad and visa versa. I wanted to highlight both sides of Grace so I colored her hair in different colors as well as highlighting the difference with blue and grey backgrounds. As she is both an angel and a devil I colored the gems around her feet and on her scythe green for envy - I'm sure this would be a deadly sin that would show its face with such a split personality. The sentiment is one that comes with the image and one I'm going to use to focus me this year!

Good afternoon! Winter has returned, the temperatures have dropped from what they were around Christmas and we've had more snow. Hey it's Michigan what else can we expect!

It's Thrifty Thursday over at Scrapper's Delights go check out the website for this weeks deals! 

 When we first arrived in the USA and Mollie was able to make snow angels standing up the snow was so deep!

 So I couldn't resist Willy Snow Angel- he's perfect for this time of year:

Isn't he just the happiest little penguin! and I had to give him some snowy dimension so I used a snow writer and added extra glitter:

Shaking In The Snow

Good afternoon! I hope everyone had a great Christmas I know we did! Santa was definitely kind to use all.

Today's post is a card using a super cute image from Scrapper's Delights which was a gift for the design team members:

Isn't this a gorgeous Image! I colored it with my Copic markers, after it was colored Mollie said the girl reminded her of Anna from Frozen - I had unintentionally colored her is a similar color scheme!

I haven't made shaker cards for so long that I thought this was the ideal image to do so.

I had some acetate with snow already on it so I used This for my window. I cut an oval aperture from some patterned and foiled cardstock and added the acetate over this. 

I then matted my 7x5 inch card blank with a coordinating aqua colored card. I then lined up my image so she would show through the aperture and adhered it to my card base. Using foam tape I covered the back of the aperture card ensuring that there was a seal around the acetate window so the glitter wouldn't fall through.

I added a pile of glitter over the image and placed the aperture cardstock over the base, sealing in the glitter so it would shake loosely.

As the cardstock has snowflakes foiled on to it I didn't feel I needed to add anything else to the card.

I am trying to incorporate more videos in to my crafting so here's a little one showing the shaker!

Candy Cane Thief

Good afternoon, here's the second of my post for today and once again it's showcasing gorgeous images from Scrapper's Delights.

Meet Chibi Fairy Thief:

Isn't the little imp the cutest! I printed her onto X-press it card stock and then fussy cut her and a red card mat using my Scan N Cut. She was colored with Copic markers and had glitter added to her wings.

I then used my graphics program and a candy cane font to make my design paper. I colored the letters with red Copic marker.

I matted a 5x7 inch card base with red card and my backing paper. I then added the little fairy along with her mat. lastly I added a red glitter gem to the berries in her hair.

The Fairy Thief is one of a new festive range of Chibi images:

Aren't they adorable!

Good afternoon, well we certain had winter arrive with a bang, about 6 inches of snow fell in as many hours. Looks like it maybe here to stay this time!

Over at Scrapper's Delights it's the last anime VIP post of 2019 and we are ending the year with the last Zodiac sign of the year - Capricorn:

Isn't he a stunner! I printed the framed image from the set and have colored him with Copic markers then used distress ink to darken the background. 

I then used some of the other elements from the kit to make my seaweed and jellyfish design paper, again these were colored in Copics and washed over with distress ink.

I matted a 5x7 inch white card base and my topper with dark blue card. Once adhered together I added bubbles with Nuvo drops.

Sagittarius Stunner

Good afternoon, lazy day today after celebrating Thanksgiving yesterday, thank goodness the weather has improved!

It's VIP time again at Scrapper's Delights and today's offer is the free Sagittarius Zodiac package if you buy all 3 of the super cute new releases.

I loved some of the elements in this collection so much that I have made 2 cards.
The first one is using the main character:

Isn't he majestic! I colored him using Copic markers, The image is already framed so I matted it further with burnt orange and black card. I matted the sentiment the same. I used a black 5x7 inch card base and matted this with same burnt orange color.

I didn't feel it needed any further embellishing.

My second card is using some of the other elements:

Using my graphics program I arranged the acorns and maple leaves randomly onto a white piece of cardstock. I then used my copic markers to color them all. I matted a black card base with cardstock which matched the colors of my leaves, my design was cut down to fit on the card. I then arranged the sentiment, constellation and date banner as a topper. I colored the elements in and matted this with black and colored card stock. 

I added Nuvo Crystal Glaze to the acorns to give them both dimension and shine.

Here's the new release images, as an extra bonus you will also get the holiday image!

Pretty Virgo

Good afternoon, School is back and life is getting back to normal. The sun is still warm and more bearable than the heat we had a few weeks ago.

It's new release day over at Scrapper's Delights and I'm showcasing some of the images available with the VIP deal.
Continuing with the Zodiac signs it is Virgo's turn:



She is so pretty! I built up the image by adding the frame and butterflies to the main image. I then colored them with Copic markers and Staedtler Triplus  fine liners. Sapphire is the gem stone for Virgo so I had to give her blue hair.
Once colored I used circle dies to cut the image and blue mat. I matted a 6x6 inch card base with a coordinating pink card before adding my images. A few dark blue gems and a die cut butterfly completed my card.
