MyBesties International Doll #4 - She is super adorable!

I created a 6x6 card for this stamp. I wanted the focus to be on her as she is just so exceptionally cute.This a MyBesties stamp, International Doll#4.  I think she reminds me of summer, fun, and being carefree. A nice change from the dreary winter months.

For this card I created a 6x6 card. I used a second layer at 5x5, and used my Sizzix Oval Framelits  to cut her out. I wanted her to be front and center. I used a discontinued paper pack by K&C Company. I have linked to a similar paper pack on Amazon. I also used Sweet Sentiment marker paper to color my image on. It is the best marker paper ever!

I am providing you the links so that you can find similar products. Sometimes, people think because we are a DT that we receive products for free. Myself, I have never received any products for free, except for the stamp that I use to create the card. I simply love to make cards and being a DT allows me to create cards for all the artist that I love.

I decided to color her with my Spectrum Noirs:

Face - TN2, TN3, TN4, FS4, CR3, and CR2
Hair - EB7, EB4, AND EB2 with a touch of E8
Flower - GB4, GB3, and DG3

"Lovebug Gnome" such a fun and adorable card for Valentimes!

For this Valentine card I selected Lovebug Gnome from KLM Digital Designs. I just love the gnome driving down the road, with the wind blowing his hat and balloons, while driving a bug is adorable. What could be more fun than driving down the road in a bug?

I wanted the card to have a sities vibe, so I took my inspiration from some paper from W R Memory Keepers Anthologie collection that I had in my stash. The design and colors on the paper are a perfect compliment to the stamp.

I thought that the bug was such a cute card that I decided to keep the focus on the gnome. I created a cloud background with distress inks. I have posted a copy of my live video (process) on my YouTube channel. You might be surprised that I have simply created a template to make the clouds from an old scrap of paper, that I use over and over again. I used marker paper from Sweet Sentiment. This is the best paper to use for copics. My absolute favorite!

For this image I used the following copics:

Balloons- for the red: R22 and R11 and for the pink: RV23, RV21, and RV 02
Hat - RV29, R27, and R24
Skin - E11 and E01
Nose - R30 and R20
Bumper and hub caps - C2 and C0
Wheels - W4, W2, and W0
Windows - W00
Beard - W0

I used distress inks for the clouds. I used fun foam to pop up my layer with the card. Since, I used a png file, I was able to put the sentiment. 'You Drive Me Wild" on the same layer as the gnome. PNG files print with a clear background, which allows you to merge images. I just love digi stamps. I printed the car at 4 inches.

Creating cards brings me so much joy - I hope that it brings you joy too.

Girl Window Gnome by KLM Digital Designs

Who doesn't just love a cute little gnome? The gnome named Girl Window Gnome by KLM Digital Designs. Gnomes are all the rage this season. I just can't get enough of these adorable gnomes.

For this image I created a 6x6 card. When I look at a stamp I often see a story. This little girl is looking out the window and thinking about sunshine and flowers. Even though Christmas and the New Year just passed, I can feel spring right around the corner. I wanted the card to feel warm and inviting, so I selected purple, lilac, pink, and a touch of teal. I colored the ribbon purple to match her hair ribbons. I think the stamp is just adorable, and I hope that you enjoy my card.

These images are just the cutest. I just love summer and the "Swimmer Girl" encompasses everything that I love about summer; the sand, sea, shells, and the sun. If only it could be summer all year long. For this image I used Sweer Sentiment Premium paper and Copic markers from Dick Blick . I was trying to make the little girl look a bit sunburned.
