Positive Tate - Neuro Sparkle

 

Hello and happy Saturday.  Today I have an extra special card to share with you.  This card is the final card of Crafty Stamp Co's Inspiration Week.  

The stamp that I used to create this card is called, Positive Tate- Neuro Sparkle and the colorful paper is from the new Perfect Piece 6x6 Patterned Paper Pack.

Crafty Stamp Co created this stamp and patterned paper in support of Autism Awareness Month in April. They are donating 100% of the profits from this stamp set to the Autism Research Institute as part of their commitment to kindness, awareness, and community.


I used Copic markers to color in Tate in the following colors:

  • E21, E34, E13, E25 - Tate
  • YR16, YR07 - Orange
  • Y00, Y08 - Yellow
  • B02, B04 - Blue
  • R14, R29 - Red

I think I like the small sentiment at the bottom of the card the most.  It says so much.

I hope this fun and colorful card has inspired you to create a card of your own.

Thank you for stopping by today!

Bees & Honey

 


Hello!  Today I have another card from the new Crafty Stamp Co. release. This card was such a joy to make and I just love it.  It is the size of an A-2 card but it is kind of a drop down card.  


This stamp set is called Bees and Honey.  I colored my images to coordinate with the new 6x6 patterned paper called Buzy Bees.  

My honey jar and little bears are colored with the following Copic colors:

  • E50, W51, E31, E23, E57 - Bears
  • Y21, YR24, YR18 - Honey
  • BG10, BG13, BG57 - Jar Cloth, Outfits
  • B0000 - Wing Highlights
  • T0, T1, T2, T4 - Outfits
The sentiment is included in the stamp set.  I stamped it on white cardstock and then trimmed it out with a little of the patterned paper.

I love everything about this card.  

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have an amazing day!

Easter Hugs - Trinity Stamps Craft Roulette #308

 


How about a card with a little gift enclosed?  This card is my entry for the current Craft Roulette Challenge.  I liked all the parameters, but did struggle a bit with the one that included a bookmark.  I created a little pocket on the front of the card, but liked the card much better with it placed it inside of the card.  What do you think?


This weeks parameter are:

  • PROJECT:  Card with a bookmark
  • COLORS:  Circus Colors
  • ELEMENT: Hug(s)
  • RANDOM: Feather(s)

SUPPLIES:

    Trinity Stamps

    Simon Says Stamps:
    • Darling Duckling
    Lawn Fawn
    • Stitched Bookmark
This turned out to be a darling little Easter card.  I will definitely have to use an A-7 envelope to accommodate the bookmark. 

Thanks for stopping by today!

Froggy Quotes

 


Who doesn't occasionally need a get well card?  Well...this shaker card just might put a smile on someone's face that might be a bit under the weather.  This is inspiration week over at Crafty Stamp Co. and this adorable set is being featured today.

This stamp set is called Froggy Quotes and while there are some great new paper packs, I wanted to ink blend my own.  For this background, I have Salvaged Patina, Mermaid Lagoon and Uncharted Mariner.  I also used these colors for the water in the pond. 

I shopped my stash to find just the right bayou type die to set the scene.  With just a little foam tape I was able to create a small "well" for my little shaker pieces. 


All my little friends were colored with Copic markers in the following colors:

  • G82, YG63 - Frogs
  • YG93, YG95, YG97 -   Lily Pad
  • Y23, RV55 - Flowers, Dragon Fly, Butterfly
  • Y08, Y13 - Fireflies
The sentiment is included with the stamp set which makes it so easy to complete your card whether it is on the outside or inside of the card.  Mine is stamped on white cardstock and then I took a Copic marker and dragged it along the outside edges just to put the slightest amount of color on it.


This is really a fun stamp set which includes not only the lily pads, but a crown if you want to make one a prince.  How cute!


Thank you for stopping by today!
