Begrudged Pissy Puppy


 Oh dear...such a grumpy puppy.  I created this card for the Layers Of Unity Challenge for the FaceBook group by Unity Stamps.  

The challenge was to create a card based on the sketch below:


For my card, I used the Begrudged Pissy Puppy Stamp and their All The Good Boys 6x6 Paper Pack and A Little Tenderness 6x6 Paper Pack.

I used Copic markers in the following colors:

  • E42, E57, E59 - Puppy
  • BG96, G99, E21, E33 - Hat

I don't know about you, but I have a number of pissy puppies in my life that this card would be perfect for.

Thank you for stopping by!

#305 - Craft Roulette Challenge - Indispensable

 


Hello!  This is a card that I submitted for the current Craft Roulette Challenge. I love the way this get well card turned out - it is so cheerful not to mention colorful.

This weeks parameters were:

  • Project:  A Joyfold Card
  • Colors:  Cartoon Colors
  • Element: Starts With "I"
To make the Joyfold card, I started with a piece of cardstock cut at 5.5" x 8'5" scored at 4.25" and folded in half.  I cut front of the card diagonally from the top left corner to the bottom right corner.  I cut a piece of patterned paper that was cut at 4.0" x 5.25" diagonally from corner to corner.  I glued on of those diagonal cut pieces on to the diagonal cut of the card front.  

I cut another piece of patterned paper to 5.25" x 4.0" and glued it to the inside of the card.  


Next I cut a piece of card stock to 3.5" by 8.5".  I scored it at 4.25" and folded it in half.  I glued the piece to the inside of the card making sure that the smaller piece when folded would clear the diagonal fold when shut.  I cut another piece of patterned paper to 3.0" x 4.0" and glued it to the smaller cardstock piece on top.  I cut another piece of white cardstock to the same measurements for the sentiment on the inside of the card.  


  For the outside of the card, I stamped and colored the little bottles from the Trinity Stamps Indispensable Stamp Set with the following Copic colors:

  • BG0000, BG01, BG45
  • YR12, YR04, YR18
I cut them out using the Indispensable Coordinating Die Set.

I used the sentiment that comes with the stamp set to finish this card.  

This really turned out to be a quick card because not only because of the unique Joyfold project, the patterned paper and the images that are so quick to color.

Thank you for stopping by today.

Where Butterflies Wait by Unity Stamps


 Hello...I always start getting itchy for spring come this time of year.  Today I have another card I created with a stamp from Unity Stamps Company.  This turned out to be such a lovely encouragement card for that special friend that might be going through a difficult time.

The stamp set that I used is Where Butterflies Wait.

The Copic markers I used are;

  • R01, YG03, BG01 - Butterfly
  • YG91, YG93, YG95 - Leaves
  • E57, E59, Y15, Y17, R37 - Yellow Flower
  • R000, R12, Y38, R05 - Tulips
  • RV00, R83, RV32, RV34 - Pink Flowers
  • E55, E57 - Ground
Once I colored my design, I used the Pink Fresh - Nested Rectangles: Postage Edge, to cut it out.  To give my card a little texture, I used the Altenew - Woven Basket embossing folder.

Although it is hard to see in the picture, I used 1mm foam tap to pop up the image and sentiment.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!
