Paper Smooches: Halloween + My FIRST Time Coloring

Hello friends:) 

**Click HERE for the Coffee Lovers Cardmakers blog hop with inspiration and prizes! 

I'm super excited to share a card today- it's my FIRST colored images/card!!! 

SAVfact: I do not like coloring. 
SAVfact: I do not like Halloween. 

But somehow... someway... today's card features both! :) 

This card was actually created for Paper Smooches' September release. I used the NEW Best Witches stamps and dies, along with the Hallloweenies stamps, Halloween Icons, and lots of Copic markers! 

My theory for coloring: just start! I have heard lots of talk (instructions) about how to color (from years past when I first bought my Copic markers). I tried the light colors first, layered with two darker colors, and then blended again with the light marker. I hope I colored correctly! LOL! I really did enjoy coloring- it was so fun and relaxing! 

Here's another Halloween card I created in September. I was inspired by a fun graphic. I used the Paper Smooches Best Witches stamps/dies, Birthday Sampler, and the following dies- Sassy Letters, Welcome Word, Bannerific. Thought: You would think a simple card like this would mean LESS stamps/dies! LOL! 

That's it for me today but there are more creations and projects coming! Be on the lookout for our November 2019 blog hop and sneak peeks starting November 6th. 

Thanks for stopping by! Be blessed ❤️

VIDEO: Reverse Confetti April Color challenge

Hello, friends:}

I'm sharing a video today using some NEW Reverse Confetti stamps and dies! 

This card was inspired by the RC April Color Challenge {light blue, green, plum}. 


I have to say that this card really took me out of my comfort zone! Get ready for this.....I colored with Copics! OH MY! 

Look at that coloring on the bunny--- WOWZA! I knock my socks off;) Just kidding! I need LOTS of practice with coloring! This is just "outlining"! LOL! 

My friend Trisha stopped by yesterday and we practiced coloring the little bunny from the RC Bebe Bunny set. I felt pretty good after Trisha left... but then during my video.... I had to text her twice to show her how I was doing! LOL! 

Here's the video! Hope you enjoy:}

I used some Imagine Crafts gold embossing powder for the sentiment (RC All About You stamp set). I also used some sequins that I got from Pretty Pink Posh. Add in a RC Love Note die cut heart and Double Edge Scallop Border.... and that's my card:) 

That's it for me today! Be sure to stop by the Reverse Confetti blog for more inspiration and to join in the FUN with the April Color challenge! And be sure to follow us on Facebook HERE.

Paper Smooches SPARKS challenge {3.22-4.4} post 3

Hello, friends:}

**Please click HERE or scroll down for my Play Date Cafe challenge card and post! 

Today we start another photo inspired challenge over at Paper Smooches SPARKS blog. 

I just love this line up of bunnies! I loved this inspiration photo so much...that I created 2 cards! I have two others that I wanted to create...but I didn't want to overload you:) LOL!

For my first card, I created a bunny costume for the little chicken chubby chum to wear! SOOOOOOOOOO cute! The two Paper Smooches stamp sets for this little guy are Chubby Chums and A Little Lovin'. I also used the sentiment from Spring Fling and A Little Lovin'--I masked them together per Ashley's suggestion! The paper is from Echo Park. Simple card...SOOOOO fun and cute:)

It doesn't look like it--but I die cut a hole in the bunny image and placed the chicken image behind it.

For my second card, I was inspired by the line up of the bunnies. I was also inspired by a photo on Pinterest of a carton of eggs. I combined the two images and made this little mini card. I LOVE LOVE LOVE those mustaches {images for the end two are from the Paper Smooches Swanky Snowdudes and Hot Concoctions. I drew the other two.}. The sentiment  and egg are from Spring Fling. And yes, I did color those eggs with Copics! They are perfect for matching colors:) The papers are again from Echo Park. LOVE this card! 

Copic colors: Y13, YG11, R30, BG10/BG11

Here is a photo of both cards--they are both miniature in size!
