Eat Me or Drink Me???

 Good afternoon, it's Mollie's birthday today and she has a couple of friends over for a catch up and cake. 

Stamper's Delights have an Alice themed set of digital stamps and today's post is using the latest one. Alice has come across the Eat Me Drink Me items

She is trying to decide which to choose!

I stacked the images to make my scene then printed it. I used Copic markers to color her and die cut into an oval.

I designed my patterned paper by adding the words Eat Me and Drink Me randomly This was matted with blue cardstock and added to an A2 cardbase.

I inked the edges of my topper with blue ink to tie the layers together and added it to my card with foam tape for dimension.Our design team will be posting more inspiration using the Stamper's Delights Spice Girls so check them out over on their Facebook Page.

All images are available in the store along with lots of other super cute digital stamps. If you do use any of the images please share with us in the Fan Facebook Group.

Wanna Zig-a-Zig-Ahhh

 Good afternoon! Hope you are enjoying the summer, We have had some great weather but could do with more rain as the ground is parched.

I'm back today with a super cute image from Stamper's Delights. Do you remember the Spice Girls bringing us Girl Power? Meet Posh-Victoria as a super cute Chibi character:

She is part of the latest new digital stamp release which also includes all the other girls and a a group image.

Aren't they the cutest?

I resized, printed and then colored Posh with alcohol markers, She was fussy cut and put to one side while I made my card base.

Using smooth 60lb cardstock I printed the text 'Girl Power' using a laser jet printer. Then I placed some rainbow toner reactive foil over and fed it through my Minc. This gave me a foiled sentiment as my card topper.

A scalloped die was used to frame this and it was then added to my A2 card base which was matted with rainbow digital paper.

Posh was added on foam squares. I had her slightly over lap the topper to make her stand out against it.

Is that Spring I can See?

Good afternoon is that spring that's around the corner? We've woken to snow the last few days but it's not hung around thank goodness!

Have you seen this month's Stamper's Delights club Images? Meet Chibi Fairy Under a Leaf if you have.

I started my card by printing off the image at a size to fit an A7 card base. She was colored with Copic Markers and trimmed to size.

I used some spring colored pattern paper to mat my card base and a sentiment stamp that seem to fit as she's not smiling!!

Her hair was amazing to color - Loys of ringlets - Wish my hair was more like this although not green lol.

Who Stole The Fox?

 Hello! Hope everyone is staying warm and safe!

I'm back today with more inspiration for the Stamper's Delights new release and the cute image I am using today is called Chibi boy fox, this cute little guy has been in the hen house!

Look at that little fat chicken under his arm!

I started my card by resizing my image, printing him onto stamping card and coloring him with Copic markers. He was then fussy cut and he sat and watch while I built my card.

I matted my base with Kraft card and cut a scalloped frame with the same card. 

I printed some digital design paper ad stamped chicken wire over this. This was then adhered to my card base and the frame was added using foam tape.

Finally my little chicken thief was added

I hope that he just wants to pet the chicken........................

It's cold outside

Good afternoon! the first week of the year has passed - how did it go for you?

the sale at Stamper's Delights continues all images (excluding bundles or zodiac kits) are 50% off so go shop until you drop!

My inspiration today is using a chibi image It's Get-Well-Girl however I have used her for a winter card:

I printed her onto stamping card and colored her with Copic markers - I did make a bit of a boo boo i colored the left part of her pillow same as the blanket - but hey it looked like the folds of her blanket so I left it.

I worked out where my image was going to sit and die cut a window from teal colored cardstock sized to mat onto an A7 card base. I  worked out where I wanted my image to sit and die cut the window. This was also from Kraft card, then both windows were glued together.

I sent the teal card through my printer adding my typed sentiment to it.

The back of the window 'hole' was covered with snowflake patterned paper, turned over and matted on to my base. The windows were adhered into the hole giving me a window frame.

Finally I added my image with foam tape. I decorated her mug with snowflakes - I often look like this when we have been out with the fur babies - huddled in a blanket with a hot cup of cocoa.

Fit For Life

 Good afternoon, who is still on track for any new years resolutions they made? I usually wait until January is out of the way before setting my yearly goals - too much going on in January for a new start! 

Kate Hadfield has some great images for new starts and I have used some of her digital stamps for todays inspiration:

These images are part of her Shaping up stamps, there are a number of  digital images related to fitness and health in the collection. There is also a pre-colored collection that is great of digital scrapbooking.

 I grouped some of the images together and added the sentiment before printing on stamping card and coloring with Copic markers. I matted an A7 card base with coordinating cardstock and added my image. a clean and simple card just right for new beginnings!

Kate has a whole host of images on her website - some are even freebies so head on over and have a look!

Thanks for stopping by, I would appreciate you letting me know what you think of my card in the comments.

Cute Kisses

 Good afternoon and Happy Veteran's Day. I have my own veteran - Kev served in the Royal Navy way before we met.

I have decided that I am going to take part in The 30 Day Coloring challenge except this time it's only 11 days! This involves doing some coloring every day for 11 days and as i love coloring what a better way to spend some time each day!

My day 1 coloring is using a stamp that I've had a while but not used: House Mouse Birdie Kiss:

How cute are these two!

What I Did:

 I colored the image with Copic markers, we have a little flock of sparrows that come for the sunflower seeds in the bird feeder so I decided the bird needed to be a sparrow. Once I'd colored the image I inked the edges with distress ink - which I suppose is another form of coloring.

The card base was matted with coordinating blue card and digital design paper which is also from a house mouse collection.

The frame is from a Gina Marie Die, I cut the image with the same die to get the scalloped edges and then did a second cut with blue card. I adhered the image flat on my card and used foam tape for the frame giving it dimension.

Finally I added some decoupaged flowers, these fit well with the flowers on the backing paper as well as the little ones I colored.

What I Used:

Stamp: Stampendous - House Mouse Birdie Kiss

Stamping Card: X-Press It

Alcohol Markers: Copic

Digital Design Paper: Joanna Sheen House Mouse

White Card for Base: Neenah Solar White 110lb

Blue card: Tonic Studio

Frame Die: Gina Marie - Scalloped rectangle Frame

Flower die and images: Carnation Crafts - Night Scented Stock

Glue: ZipDry

Foam Pads: From my stash

I don't spend enough time crafting just because but I'm hoping this challenge will encourage me to.

 I am also entering this card into The House Mouse & Friends Monday challenge - The theme is anything goes with the option of a punch or die - I used 2 dies so I think I'm good!

 

Bella Bug is Too Cute!

 Good afternoon! Monday again so back to school - Mollie is doing well so I must be an okay-ish teacher!

Today's post is inspiration for the new release over at Polkadoodles - sweet Bella Bear is dressed as a ladybug:

What I Did:

I resized Bella and colored her with alcohol markers. I then matted an A2 card base with a digital polkadot paper. I matted Bella and a cute sentiment with black cardstock and arranged them on the card. I die cut 3 tiny ladybugs, colored these and added them under the sentiment. To balance the card I added black pearls to opposing corners.

What I Used:

Image: Polkadoodles - Bella Bear Ladybug

Sentiment: Polkadoodles - Winnie Special Moments Quotes

Stamping Card: X-Press It

Alcohol Markers: Copic

Digital paper: Polkadoodles -Pretty Sweet

Black Cardstock: Linda Chapman

Dies: Susan's Garden Club

Glue: ZipDry

Pearls; From My Stash
