The Lovely Springtime

I'm pretty sure this stamp started as a bride but I just turned her into a girl in a pretty dress.

This one is super simple.

1. I colored my lovely little lady. She's one of the free images from these copic coloring books I have. I don't remember what colors I used because I did it awhile ago but I wish I remembered how I did her hair because it looks like one of the best things I've done. Then I cut her out with my you guessed it SNC!!!

2. I cut the layering papers they are all form Crete Paper.

That's it. This was by far the easiest card I've made in a while and a toal throw bak to when I started making cards and this was basically what all my cards looked like.

Life is Sweeter

Good morning!!! I'm a touch behind on the cards I've been planning to make so you might see quite a few posts over the next few days... Fun fact about me is I absolutely stink at sending cards but I love making them so I do tend to make more then I send. I rarely make cards with anyone in mind or someone to send them to.... Oops... Anywhoo that's not why your here! I made a crazy card on Thursday!

Isn't it cute! I forgot the washi tape on the bottom of the right panel... Oops... But anywho I made a slider card!!!!!!! Ok I'm excited I so rarely make anything other then a standered card but when I saw this monotone challenge and then combined it with the spots and dots challenge and I was like OK! I'm not using a image on this one and decided to try a different type of card and poof slider card! I followed the tutorial on SCS here.

What's the Story Morning Glory?

So I'm keeping with the spring theme. Today we have this super cute card.

I discovered the Deerie Dolls digi stamps a few years ago and simply fell in love. This one is a relatively old one but I think it's super cute! It been sitting on my computer unused for awhile and I finally decided to print and use it! The stamp is called Morning Glory Swing Girl which is where the title came from!

Now to the details:
Stamps: Derrie Dolls Morning Glory Swing Girl
Paper: White thick card stock from Office Depot, Doodlebug Design
Ink: Printer Ink, Copic Markers

Flowers and Bicycles

Flower and Bicycle is probably a more appropriate title.

So how'd I make this? Well I cut the bicycle out on my Cricut. It's from the Stretch Your Imagination cartridge. But here's the cool part. One of the challenges I found some inspiration from is an inspiration picture that's linked to below. But I really liked the colors in the picture but didn't have paper that matched the way I wanted it to. So I cut out the shadow/base of the bicycle in black like I would normally then cut the layers out in white. And then I colored it with my Copics!!! I have no idea why I never thought of that as a possibility before! Here's the rest of what went into this creation. Also I have to give a shout out to those Spellbinders Card Creator Dies again all those layers wouldn't be possible without them!

Paper: Stash and DCWV Mat Stacks
Copics: RV23, G82, G09, R85

Lets Try this Again

I've done so well at blogging over the last year haven't I. ;P Yea...not so much. But once again life has brought about some exciting changes. I've finished my time in school. I won't officially graduate until December but I start student teaching in the fall. The last step before I can get my teaching license.  So your probably thinking this will help your blogging how? Well yea I won't be any less busy (In fact there will probably be more to do.) BUT student teaching means moving home and having my craft supplies just hanging out waiting for me to use it. I'm not making promises because I can't be sure I can keep them. I'm just going to try really hard to get back into the habit of this.

Oh don't worry this isn't just one of my I'm coming back and here's why I was gone posts. I do have something to show you today. But first this. My LSS (Local scrapbook/stamp store for those of you who might not know what that is) closed somewhat recently. :( As much as I miss the store. I've stayed in some form of contact with the owner and she has started up a new blog here. So you should go and check her out. :)

OK, OK, I know you really don't want to hear all that so on to what you really want to see.

 

Yeah! I made something. OK I've made things since the last time I blogged. But I made something and I'm blogging about it! 

The stamp is this one from Crafter's Companion that I bought as Scrapbook Expo last year. It's hard to tell in this picture but the card is actually a 5X5 square card. I made the yellow base out of a 12X12 textured cardstock that I'm guessing came from some almost used up paper stack that I had because it was attached to a white piece of textured cardstock in the way that paper stacks are but there was no sign of a cover or anything else to give me a clue as to where is was from exactly. I pink sparkle piece is from coredinations and I'm pretty sure that was actually a gift from my Grandma when I got my Cuttlebug 3 years ago for Christmas. The paper that the lovely princess is stamped on is from Office Max. It's the paper I always use when I color with my Copics. The princess is colored with Copics here's the list of colors.

Skin: E00

Dress: RV21, RV23

Crown: Y26 (The heart is RV21 again) 

The box: BV00 (The bow is RV23)

Hair: Y15

I did the grass and the sky in favorite way to do grass and skies with my sponges. Normaly I would use Memento Summer Sky as my sky color but my Summer Sky ink has gone missing (We've been moving stuff around again so I'm sure it's just hiding somewhere) so this one is actually Versamagic Sea Breeze. The grass is still my old standby Memento New Sprout.

Purple Cupcake Card

I'm back one more time (probably) before the new year! I hope everyone had a good Christmas! I did! Anyway here's the new card for today.

 All the stamps are from This set which is the same one I used on my last card from Fiskars I have a whole bunch of stamps colored and cut from that set so you'll probably be seeing a lot from that set for a while. The pink Polka Dot paper is from Kiwi and it's actually embroidered paper that my grandma bought me for last Christmas!It's hard to see in the picture but the cupcake is all pretty and glittery with 2 shades of purple glitter.
