MFT Stamps – Warmest Wishes

Today, I’m sharing a card featuring the new Warmest Wishes stamp set from My Favorite Things in a color combination I don’t think I’ve ever used before!

I Copic-colored the adorable girl from the set, pairing her with a circle stamped and heat embossed with the Star Background and a sentiment from Cheerful Christmas Greetings. The white panel was cut with the stitched die in the Blueprints 13 set. (One of my most used dies!) In terms of the colors, I found that the green Copics blended well. I first tried using shades of red for her coat, but I was much happier with the results using green. One fun thing about coloring – you can try as many different combinations as you heart desires!

Online Card Classes Copic Markers Class

I’ve been following along with the Copic Marker lessons over at Online Card Classes, practicing when I can. I was enchanted with Debby Hughes’ card in class with the adorable Lawn Fawn dog. I really like Debby’s coloring style.

It took me four attempts to get her coloring technique down on this image. I stopped at one point to refill the Colorless Blender marker, which is key to getting the colors to blend for her technique. I simplified her design just a titch, but for the most part this is a CASE of Debby’s card.

Penny Black Bon Voyage

Today, I’m sharing a card created with the new Penny Black Bon Voyage #30-224 stamp set – perfect for summer travel cards or scrapbook layouts!

I paired the stamped and Copic-colored Vespa with balloons cut using the Uplifting #51-004 die set. I cut each balloon twice and used dimensional adhesive on some to create a variety of depths. The balloon strings were drawn by hand.

Have a fabulous Friday!

Stamp Nation Challenge: Fruits and Veggies

The most recent challenge at Stamp Nation is to use Fruits and/or Veggies on a card in celebration of all summer has to offer! This challenge had me stumped for a while, until I noticed that I had more supplies that fit this theme than I realized!

Stamp Nation Challenge: Fruits and Veggies

I stamped the Lawn Fawn Make Lemonade set with Memento ink on Gina K cardstock and colored the images with Copics in blues and yellows. I discovered some Little Yellow Bicycle patterned paper in my stash that I’ve had for several years. The sentiment is from the Penny Black Friendship set.

Enjoy Life

I’ve been playing with Taylored Expressions stamps and dies this month, and today, I’m sharing a card created with the Hangin’ Out – At the Beach stamp set. It’s hot here in the Pacific Northwest, unusually so for the region, and the beach sounds like the perfect place to be at the moment!

Enjoy LifeI colored the palm tree and the surfboard with Copics; I stamped both on Gina K layering weight cardstock. I used the coordinating die to cut the palm tree; I fussy cut the surfboard. I used the Mama Elephant die set to cut the sandy hill, placed in front of two lines of waves cut with the Taylored Expressions Wave Border.

Hope you’re staying cool wherever you are today!

Supplies: Taylored Expressions Hangin’ Out – At the Beach stamp set, Wave Border die, Palm Tree die; Stampin’ Up cardstock (waves); Mama Elephant Landscape Trio; MFT Blueprints 1; Memory Box Marshmallow Clouds
