Brighten the Day with a Smile

 Good afternoon, I hope everyone is having a great weekend. It is HOT here!

It's Chibi new release day over at Stamper's Delights and the cutest Chibi Smile image is now available:

She is adorable!!!

I arranged the included music notes and sentiment around her and printed on stamping cards

The image was the colored with alcohol markers. I matted an A7 card base with burgundy cardstock to coordinate with my image. I also die cut some quaver notes in coordinating colors to add some texture to the card.

The digital image has different formats to suit your scene building and the clear stamped image come with great stamps that can be used with all your other Stamper's Delights images:

Good morning, hope everyone is keeping safe and well. It looks as though spring may be back. After the snow last week and the stay at home order it definitely felt like groundhog day!

Well today is Tuesday and that means one thing Digi Choosday! yes it's the start of a new challenge over on the Digi Choosday blog and the designer are making you smile in their inspiration this time.

We were tasked with making a card with the theme you make me smile and only using 2 colors. I have chosen to use various shades of pink and brown and have used a number of Polkadoodle's digital products for my card including this cute little Silly Monkey:

What I Did:

 I started by resizing and printing Silly Monkey on to stamping card. I then colored her with Alcohol Markers, keeping my colors within my theme. I then fussy cut her and put to one side while I arranged the rest of my card. I chose some digital design paper's from the Helga collection and resized and printed these. I chose to use a brown card to mat my 7x5in card base and added the first layer of design paper onto this. I then matted 2 other pieces of design paper with the card stock. The first of these I adhered to the bottom right of my card. The second one I looped Silly Monkey's tail around the back of and added her to the front with foam squares (giving the impression she was hanging from the card.) I then added this to the top left of the card. Finally I chose a sentiment from Winnie's Special Moments quotes that fit perfectly with the theme. I printed this onto stamping card and inked it with pink distress ink so it coordinated with the rest of the card. It was matted on to brown card and added to the card to finish the design.

What I Used:
Digital Stamp: Polkadoodles: Silly Monkey
Digital Design Papers: Polkadoodles: Helga Big Kahuna VIP Download Bundle

Digital Sentiment: Polkadoodles: Winnie's Special Moments Quotes
Stamping Card: X-Press It
Alcohol Markers: Copic
Base Card: Core'Dinations Premium Heavyweight
Brown Card: Core'Dinations
Distress Ink: Tim Holtz
Glue: ZipDry
Foam Squares: from my stash

Smile you are on Camera

Good morning! The weather here is hot hot hot! which would be nice however the humidity is also very high so it's difficult to be outside for long   

Today I is my turn to showcase over at Scrap n' Dipity and I have a cute image for you today.

Meet Reid and Rose an adorable couple who are posing to have their photo taken

I have colored them with my alcohol markers and used the colors from their clothes for my card design.

I matted my card blank with purple card and some cute floral design paper. Using a coordinating paper I made 2 small mats and placed these in opposing angles.

I then matted my image with the same purple card and adhered this using foam tape for dimension.

The flowers are a tuck in die again cut from the same card along with the Smile sentiment.

A few pearls made from crystal drops just balance the design.
