Hello there and happy friday. Once again I'm happy to share a card with you using an image from The Stamping Boutique .   This week's challenge over on the blog is to make a card 3x3. So a very small card. I don't usually make cards this small, but they are very cute. A great note card or possibly even a gift tag size. I used the image Trenton Be sure to stop on by the challenge blog to see more inspiration from the other members of the design team.  Also create along with us and link up your 3x3 card for a chance to win. All the details are on the challenge blog.

Hello, I have so many cards to get on in the next few days hopefully. Though until then I have a new release card to share with you from The Stamping Boutique. This month's new release features some awesome clear stamps.  Now the TSB store will be carrying the Lily Mae collection of clear stamps that Tracey (who designs for the TSB) illustrated for Treasured Times Stamps. Be sure to head on over to the blog post to see inspiration by the rest of the design team and get a look at all the great clear stamps that are available.   Check out the store too for all the details and there is also a sale on Back to School digital images right now too. I used Lily Mae Kite Flying

Happy Friday! I don't know about you but I'm glad it's friday. Today I've got another great challenge to share with you from the Stamping Boutique Challenge Blog .  This week's challenge is use lace on your card/project.  Below is my card using the image Rose . So hop on over to the blog to see other great cards by the rest of the design team and enter our challenge this week. All the details can be found on the blog. Hope to see you participate. 

I had made this card awhile ago and I honestly thought I had posted it but looking back over my posts I didn't see it anywhere so here is it. My mom actually asked me to make this card for my niece Fiona who has been taking skating lessons and has been passing all her levels.   The image is hand drawn by myself. It's from my "Fiona & Friends" digital images.  At the moment I'm only using them for personal use but we will see what happens in the future.  I've posted a few other cards with other images with the same girl.  These images are actually inspired by my niece Fiona.  I hand drew the image and scanned it into my computer to get the right size and was able to print it out like a digital stamp. Then I coloured it with copic markers cut it out.  I love the embossed background as it looks like swirls made in the ice.

The next card I'm  going to share with you is one of my favourites I've made in the last this while. My niece Fiona is part Japanese as her mom is Japanese so she's been taking Japanese classes for the last three years and she just finished up her 3rd year of it. So I wanted to make this card to congratulate her and encourage her on all her hard work at learning this language.  I think it's so cool that she's almost 6 and she knows two languages mostly fluently. That's better than me, hehe! This card features the My Favorite Things Pure Innocence "Japanese Girl" which is colored with copic makers.  The Congratulations and graduation cap are also from My Favorite things "Graduation die-namics" and the embossed background is a cuttlebug embossing folder called "swiss dots." Then I finished it off with some red sequins on the side just to give it that final touch. Entered in DoubleClick AKA abusybee Skittles  Back to school

I am excited to share this next card with you. I made it awhile ago now. But I really love this image. I like dinosaurs and so I thought this image was just too cute. It's a stamp from My Favourite Things.  Also the matching sentiment is just super cute too.   I coloured the image with copic markers and the red flags behind the circle are the fishtail stax's from My Favourite things and the circle is also from the circle stax from MFT. 

Here is another card I've made in the last little while.  I picked up a few more MFT "My Favourite Things" Pure Innocence stamps.  This set is called "Make a wish" and I absolutely love it and all it's cuteness.   The girl and the sentiment stamp are from the same set. The sentiment is embossed with white embossing power on Vellum using the MFT fishtail stax die.  Just in case you can't read the sentiment as it tends to blend in with the background it says "Butterfly kisses and dandelion wish." The butterfly stamp is one I had in my stash. Both images are coloured with copic makers. The embossed background is the embossing folder dandelion wishes and then I finished it off with some purple twine to match all the colours. 

Hello, I've got a lot to share with you here on the blog. I'm really feeling behind in taking photos, editing and getting the cards up on the blog.  I have not been crafting too much in the past few weeks only fitting it in when time allows. Some weeks I feel like I get to craft more than others.  Though these last few weeks have been a few of those weeks where not a lot of crafting gets done. But here I am with some cards to share, I hope you like them! I recently got the MFT lightbulb die-namics and I love it.  So cute! I used this great die to create this card.  The sentiment is a Michael's $1.50 stamp and it worked perfectly. It's embossed with white embossing powder and then the sequins just finish off the card.
