IceCream Sundae

Good morning!

Isn't this a fun icecream sundae? I love all those scoops of icecream in the dish - for this card, I decided to make my icecream be strawberry and chocolate with hot fudge topping... yummy!! I stamped the image in Memento ink on Ivory cardstock and colored everything in with Koh-i-noor pencils, OMS, and blending stumps.

After my entire card was finished, I coated the entire image with a thick layer of Crystal Lacquer - but made sure to leave it overnight to dry. Trust me - you want to do this with Crystal Lacquer... give it plenty of time to dry.

Here's the inside...

I wanted to show you a closeup view of the cherries. I colored the cherries in with Copics, took my Stardust glitter pen and colored over the red color and then took my Clear Sakura Glaze pen and colored the cherry.

Here's a closer look of the circular embellishment - I used 1" and 1 1/8" circle punches and the Marvy Scallop circle punch ...


Have a great rest of your day - I hope you'll get a chance to have something sweet today!

Thank You Mom....

Good morning!

This is my last release party card that I have to share. I made this card with Nina's new Bug Me Anytime digital papers and paired it with Gina's new Free with Three stamp set called Many Wishes. I used the 'mom' sentiment from Gina's Not Forgotten stamp set.

Not much to say on this card as it's pretty self-explanatory, I think. If you ever have any questions, feel free to email me or leave me a comment.

here's the inside view...

Have a great rest of your day - can you believe it's July already!? Where did June go? lol!

Take Two and Call Me...

Good morning!

I have a card filled with sweet treats to share today. I used a couple of images with Rupa's 100% Sweet stamp set. It's an eclectic mix of images to be sure, but for some reason I love it!

I stamped the candies in Black memento ink and colored with copics and added a few lines of glitter with my StarDust glitter pen. The donuts were stamped on White linen cardstock, colored with Copics and embellished with a layer of Crystal Lacquer...

You can see the shine of the Crystal lacquer a little better in this photo...

Here's the inside view...

By the way, those are two new SU In Colors paired with GinaK's Soft Sand cardstock. Aren't they funky together?

Thanks for checking in - have a great rest of your day!

Shimmery Copic Flowers

Good morning!

Are you in love with Melanie's new floral stamp set Arranged with Love as much as I am!? I'm telling you this gorgeous large image makes such quick and elegant cards. I stamped the image in Black Memento ink onto SU's Shimmery White cardstock and colored everything in with Copics.

The colors are so vibrant and pretty. The shimmer is subtle, but maybe this photo shows it off better. Remember you can click on my photos to make them appear larger..

Have a wonderful rest of your day - thanks for checking in with me!

Mountain Scene

Good morning!

Just a quick post today showing off a card I made with Theresa's gorgeous new Happy Camper stamp set. I went simple with this one - choosing to color the scene with Copic markers.

The crackle background is from Gina's Elegant Flowers stamp set and I think it works well with Theresa's gorgeous mountains.

Have a wonderful rest of your day!

Flower Bed...

Good morning!

Today's card is a busy one - all made with flowers from Nina's new Bug Me Anytime stamp set along with another piece of her Bug Me Anytime digital paper.

I stamped the flowers on SU's textured Rose Red and Regal Rose cardstocks in black versafine ink and clear embossed them to help them pop against the textured cardstock. I cut and/or punched out the flowers and layered them together with dimensional popdots between them.

Then, I took some ribbon and glue dots and added the stems and leaves. The centers of the flowers are SU's rose red buttons. The sentiment fit Marvy's Yellow rectangle punch perfectly - isn't that fun!?

To finish it off, I punched out a picket fence with Martha Stewart's border punch.

When I took this photo, I hadn't decorated the inside of my card yet... Do you finish off the insides of your cards? I love it when I do and find that I feel better giving my cards away when it's pretty inside. I'll have to do that before I add it to my Etsy shop!

Thanks for stopping by today! See you tomorrow with some more release party cards!
