Happy Valentines Day!!

Happy Valentiens Day!!!

I hope you are all getting to spend the day with your loved ones today! I have a valentines day card for you all today! 

I really like this one!

1. I colored and cut out this cute little Marci with rose.
2. Then I cut the first layered paper which is from DCWV.
3. Then I had the purple paper which is from Cricut but I went over it with a stampin up heart sentencial I just took a chalk ink pad and run it over to add the hearts to the background
4. Then I stamped the Love stamp with memento purple grape ink. It's another mystery set though..

 

A Boy Card

Alright Friends we have another card! As much as I was struggling to come up with a boy card a few weeks ago now I'm on a role apparently!!

I still feel like it's missing a little something... but I couldn't find anything I liked when I made it. I just sorted through a bunch of stuff so I might have to go back through all that stuff and see if I can find something.

This one was real easy to make.

 1. I cut a white card stock sheet in half to make the A2 size card.
2. I colored in Luca with Truck first. His hair, skin and pants are colored with copics. Everything else is colored with chameleons.
3.. The orange stripe paper is from Doodlebug designs cut to layer at 1/4'
4. Then the blue is from the stash and also cut to layer at 1/4'
5. Finally the Happy Birthday is from that mystery stamp set that was featured on my last card... (and the next few cards actually)

I Love You

Today I have for you a nice little valentine day card.

I love La La's have I mentioned that. I seriously think they might be my favorite stamp line. Of course little Heart Banner Marci is supper cute and I'm crazy jealous of her little pigtails. So I want to try and give you all a little more information on how I make my cards so lets see how this comes out.

1. I cut a sheet of Kraft card stock to make the card base. This is an A2 sized card.
2. I used a 6X6 paper pack by doodlebug designs for the red layer I cut it to have a 1/4' layer off the card base.
3. Next up was a purple paper from the stash. I ran it through my cuttlebug with an embossing folder that I'm not sure the name of. Then I went over it with a white pigment ink that dried up after this and then I threw it out and now I can't remember the name of cuz I forgot to write it down. (Distress Picket Fence here I come!)
4. Ok... I guess I actually did this first but it's steps 4 and 5 now... Anyway I stamped Heart Banner Marci with My Favorite Things Hybrid Ink it's whatever the black color is but I don't know the name they gave it. Then I colored her up with a combination of my Chameleon pens and Copics. Her skin tone is chamelon NU1 and her shirt is chameleon V04, her hair is copic... I didn't write down the colors and don't have my markers next to me at the moment but I think it was a combo of E44, E35, and E33. Her dress is what I use as my denim blend which is B93.B95.B97 The hearts in the banner are R85 which is one of my favorite reds it's also the color of her little hair ties. Her shoes are just the black copic marker. After I colored her in I went over the heart banner and her hair ties with clear wink of stella and red wink of stella. Then I cut her out on my SNC.
5. Next up I cut the heart out on my SNC. I think I cut it out with the width just about 2' to fit the sentiment. I'm not sure where the sentiment is from but considering how long I've had it I'm thinking it's either a fiskars set or maybe even inkadinkado but I really think it might be fiskars. I stamped that in Rhubarb Stalk Memento ink then went over that with the clear and red wink of stella. They didn't show up well in the picture but in the bottom pointy part of the heart are 3 tiny little red bling dots from Want 2 Scrap.

I think that's about it for this one. I'm really happy with how it came out.

Happy "Late" New Year

New Year cards aren't normally something I do but I've seen some New Year challenges, and I found a few New Year sentiment stamps in my stash and decided to give it a go (Although I didn't actually use either of the sentiment stamps...)

 I used some Glitter Pens to draw the fireworks above Luca... They actually look better in the picture then they do on the actual card...

La La Land Card

 First upload of the new year!!!

I'm going to be honset with you all and say that  last weekend I had a major card making marathon and while I was I wasn't very good about keeping track of what I was using.  I'm pretty sure this paper is from me and my big idea but I'm not sure... I do know that the stamp is Capri Marci stamped in memento black ink and colored with copics :)

Red White and Blue

This card was really easy to put together. The stamp is from La La Land I colored her hair, skin, and shirt with copics and her pants I colored with tombow markers and the grey on her shoes is a silver glitter gel pen. I cut her out using scalloped circles nesties and my cuttlebug. About half way through putting on all the glitter I realized I could make my own red white and blue glitter so I made it and used it for the rest of the card. The little blue bling is from Want 2 Scrap.

Super Cute Sketch Challenge Card and some other fun things

Yesterday I went to my first ever crop at my LSS. I didn't end up making any projects but spent a lot of time coloring images with my new copics. I've had them for about 3 weeks and have been slowly purchasing  more. I'm pretty sure I'm in love with them.
