Penguin cuties

Hello Friends!

I'm over on the Passionate Paper Creations blog today sharing two cards I made with PPCF Facebook sponsor images by Conie Fong Art!

I'm a sucker for cute critters and in the winter that means sweet adorable penguins... I totally fell in LOVE with these two!

On this card, I used Joy to the World...



I colored the penguin with Copic markers and trimmed out the image (I accidentally printed him too close to some other images to use a diecut- oops!). I die cut layers of patterned papers using Creative Basics dies- Fancy Rectangles & Layers and Basic Stitched Flags. I also used the Picnic Quilt embossing folder for some texture on the blue cardstock layer.  Finally tied everything together with a red ribbon before attaching it to my card base.

Copics:
penguin: N3, N5, N7, N9, R01, Y32, Y35
hat/scarf: R17, R37, R46, C0, C1
joy: R14, R17, G02, G05, G07, B24, B26, Y17
snow: B0000, B41

For my second card I used another sweet penguin, Snowy Delivering Presents...



I also colored him in copics, but decided to use a different gray color family than on my first penguin. I kept this card pretty simple since there was so much going on with the stack of presents. The sentiment is pieced together from a couple of Lawn Fawn sets, Baaah Humbug and Toboggan Together. I used the Basic Stitched Flags again and finished it off with the doily behind the flags.

Copics:
penguin: C3, C5, C7, C9, R01, Y32, Y35
hat: B24, B26, B29, C1, C3
mail/bag: E40, E41, G02, G05, G07
presents: B24, B26, BG11, BG13, BG15, G02, G05, G07,
R17, R37, R46, Y17, Y26, Y28

Thanks for stopping by! I'll be back tomorrow with one last card before 2017!

Spreading Joy!

Hello! Happy Saturday!

I'm on the Passionate Paper Creations blog today sharing this adorable image from one of our sponsors, Conie Fong Art!  I am totally in love with all of her images and can't wait to get my hands on more!

For my card today, I colored up this sweet image, Holly Poinsettia...



If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen her a few days ago for the 30 Day Coloring Challenge hosted by Kathy Racoosin.  I just love these coloring challenges since it builds up my collection of colored images & makes the card making process go much quicker!

I die cut the image and the aqua mat, using Fancy Rectangles & Layers by Creative Basics. Stamped the sentiment (The Greeting Farm) and adhered all my mats and layers on to my card base with some coordinating patterned paper, and finished it off with some sparkle using glitter washi tape and sequins!

Copics:
hair: 100, C3
skin: E000, E00, E21, R01
clothing: BG02, BG05, BG07, R17, R37, R89, R81, R83, R85, Y32, Y35, Y38;
boots: C1, C3, C5;
poinsettia/pot: R17, R32, R43, R35, W1, W3

Thanks for stopping by! I hope to see you over in the Passionate Paper Creations Facebook Group!

Boo!

I'm on the Passionate Paper Creations blog today sharing *another* Halloween card!

I just about fell out of my chair when I saw this cute dragon by Conie Fong Art! If you didn't know I'm a total sucker for dragons, and Conie's line of dragons are super cute (as are the rest of her digital images!)



I colored Tori using copics, stamped the letters "BOO" in the balloons, and die cut the image using the Basic Stitched Flags die. I also cut out 2 more flags using the same size die in some coordinating patterns adhered it to my orange card base (with a square black card stock already layered on it). I added the die cut with the image on top using foam tape, topped the balloons with glossy accents and sprinkled a few coordinating sequins to finish it off!

Copics:
dragon: Y02, YG01, YG03, YG17, YG67, R20, V04
balloons: W1, W3, W5, G02, G05, G07, V04, V06, V09; YR02, YR04, YR07.


Thanks for stopping by... I have ONE more Halloween card coming tomorrow!

Toil & Trouble!

Hello!

Are you all prepped and ready for Halloween yet? I'm *almost* there, I have about 90% of my son's costume together- and about half of my daughter's!

Anyway, with the help (enabling) of the Passionate Paper Creations & Friends Facebook group, I've discovered a new digital stamp company, Conie Fong Art! Her images are all so sweet and cute.. I want them all!

Since Halloween is right around the corner, I thought I'd start with these cute bats... Yes, I said cute bats!



See? Aren't they cute?!  After coloring them with copics I die cut the image using a Creative Basics die, Fancy Squares and Little Things, paired with with some coordinating Halloween-y patterned papers and also used a Basic Stitched Flags die (also Creative Basics). The "Toil & Trouble" are also dies that I found at Michaels, they're made by Sizzix/Tim Holtz. I finished off my card with silver thread and some batty buttons!

Copics: 
bats (left) C3, C5, C7, C9; (right) W3, W5, W7, W9; R20
pumpkin: YR12, YR14, YR16, Y38
branch: E55, E57, E74, E77, YG17, G94, G99
