Anything Goes at Cute Card Thursday With Curly

Hello friends! I hope you’re all having a wonderful week so far!! It’s really starting to feel like Summer now with the warmer temps!

Today is a new challenge this week over at Cute Card Thursday! This week we have our “Anything Goes” challenge with our sponsor Whimsy Stamps! So of course, I am using a cute image from Whimsy Stamps for my card today:

Vicki-WSCurly-June6

Tee hee! This little guy holding the tiny “sea creature” makes me smile and giggle! I’m not really sure what reaction he has about it! His name is just as cute too! This is Curly from Whimsy Stamps. I thought he needed a scene, so I made one for him.

I started with some Bristol Smooth watercolor paper and masked off the line between the sky and the sand. I used my Distress Inks to blend in the colors. After doing the sky, I thought that it was a bit too dark, so what I did was take a baby wipe and swiped it across which lightened up the colors the way I wanted them for the sky. The bottom “sand” portion was also masked, and I blended the bottom blue color into the sandy colors which created a nice shoreline. I then took a water bottle and spritzed some water droplets over it to create “texture” for the sand. I also took some Copic markers to create more texture with the pointillism technique, plus added some white ones with a gel pen. the water at the bottom was covered with a glitter pen. (You can see better details in the photos/description below.)

So, I’ve got him all colored up in the following Copic markers:

Flippers/water gear – B32, B34, B37, Y11
Swim Trunks – R32, R35, R37, Y11, Y15
Sea Creature – BV23, BV29
Hair – E41, E43, E44, E47
Skin – E000, E00, E02, E11, E21, R20
I used gel pens to color lines on trunks and cheeks, I’ve used a glitter pen over the “sea creature” and his flippers along with the bottom water area.

I fussy cut this image and used some liquid glue to attach over my scene.

Vicki-WSCurly-June6-flat

For the scene, I stamped the birds in the sky and a star fish image from an older Whimsy Stamps clear stamp set. I then took the sentiment from the WS Everyday Mini Sentiments and white heat embossed it over a black strip of cardstock and then used my scissors to cut out a banner to attach over the scene. I layered this over another piece of black cardstock that was attached to an A2 sized top folding white card base.

Lastly, I’ve taken some WS It’s a Party enamel dots and added them to the card.

Hope you’ve enjoyed my card today! Thanks for stopping in! I’ll be seeing you tomorrow for some fun news!

Bee Happy for Whimsy Stamps June Release!

Hello friends! There is so much to “bee” happy about for sure! It’s been sunny out lately; it’s the weekend and I have some fun creations to share with you for the Whimsy Stamps June digital release today! 🙂

Vicki-BeHappy-June1-Trio

Check out these ADORABLE bees!! I have made 3 different cards because I just couldn’t stand not being able to color each one of these which are all included in this set! I have used Crissy Armstrong’s “Bee Happy” digital stamp set. This is a set that was previously released as a stamp set, but now available in digital format starting this month! Good news that you can now choose between either format you prefer!

I’ve sized each of these bees in the format to fit onto a 4″ square card design. I’ve cut them out with a hexagon die cut and layered another black piece of cardstock behind each one.

For the background, I’ve taken a yellow piece of cardstock slight smaller than the 4″ square top folding white card base and embossed it with a fun hexagon embossing folder. Before attaching them to the card base, I’ve added some black ribbon at an angle over it. I then attached the image panels and added the ribbon bow which I then placed a bee wooden accent to the center of each one.

The story with the black splatters actually came about from an accident I had! I opened up a black shimmer pen over top one of the cards and it had a leak in it! When I popped open the cap, it spilled all over my card!! OH NO!!! Obviously, I had all of my cards done at this point and I loved the way I had colored them….so I just decided to “go with it” and added some more splatters to each one. I actually like the way it looked after I completed it! They look like “busy bee’s” now! TEE HEE!

Vicki-BeHappy1-BeeMine

Here’s a closer look at the “couple bees” image. For each one of the hexagon image panels, I’ve taken a black marker along the edges to make the stitch lines. I went around the edges of the image panel with some Tumbled Glass Distress Ink and ink foam blending tool for each card. Also, for the sentiments on each card, I found an old “bee” style stamp set and used it to go with them. I believe that the “Bee Happy” rubber stamp set comes with sentiments that go perfectly with these cuties!

Here’s how all of the bees were colored up with the Copic colors:

Wings/around bees – B00, B000
black stripes/nose/feet and hands – W9, W7, W5
Yellow stripes – Y17, Y15, Y13, Y11, R20 (cheeks)
The tiny heart from the sentiment was colored with Y15 and then I’ve added some Nuvo Glitter Drops over it.
All the wings for each card were covered with the Wink of Stella Glitter Pen.

Vicki-BeHappy2-BirthdayBee

This little dude was so fun to color up with his party accents! 🙂 Here are the Copic colors I’ve used for the accessories:

bag – E87, E84, E81
hat balloon, party hat, tissue from bag – V12, V15, YG11, YG13, YG25, YR04
I’ve covered the purple on his hat with the Nuvo Glitter Drops
The wings and balloon were covered with the Wink of Stella Glitter Pen

Vicki-BeHappy3-BzzzFriend

I just love how he’s trying to hand out a flower to you! 🙂 Here’s the following Copic colors that I’ve used for the flower:

flower stem – YG61, YG63
flower middle – Y15 (I covered it with the Nuvo Glitter Drops again)
flower petals – R32, R35, R37
His wings were covered with the Wink of Stella

I hope you’ve enjoyed my bee creation today! Please be sure to BUZZZZ on over to the Whimsy Stamps store!

Thanks so much for stopping by and I’ll see you again soon!

2 Crafty Critter Crazies Has So Mushroom

Hello friends!! Yay! Welcome to June! I am hoping that this month will be a bit more dry than what it has been lately. I’m growing tired of flash floods! Rain vibes sent to those that need it too!

Today starts a brand new monthly challenge over at 2 Crafty Critter Crazies as well! So please hop on over there and play along with us! It’s an easy challenge! All you have to do is add a critter somewhere on your project! That’s it!

So here’s what I’ve made for the challenge:

Vicki-2CCC27-RickDennis

Isn’t he a cutie? Now, I’ve never seen a teddy bear on a mushroom before, but they look so happy together, so I think it works! 🙂 Our sponsor for this challenge is Rick ST Dennis and we were provided some images to use. I’ve used one of the images from the 2 Bearii Kawaii digital stamp set.

After coloring him up, I’ve used the Lawn Fawn Stitched Rectangle dies to cut him out with and then I’ve used some Tumbled Glass Distress Ink and an ink blending tool to go around the edges with it. I also used this ink and tool to sponged some clouds in the background on a white piece that was cut with another Stitched Rectangle die. I thought it would be fun to add some splatters, so I carefully covered up the image and added some splatters with the same distress ink that was watered down and splattered both the cloud background and image panel.

For the bottom of the card, I cut a piece of green card stock with the LF Mushroom Border die. I also used this die set to cut out the mushrooms with some vanilla and red cardstock. I white heat embossed the punny sentiment at the bottom of the grass border from the LF Oh Gnome stamp set. I’ve attached these borders to the bottom of my cloud panel and lined it up to cut it out again with the stitched rectangle die so that it matched with the background of the card.

I then added some twine around the cloud panel and then attached this piece over top of a white top folding A2 sized card base. Lastly, I took some foam tape and added it to the image panel and then attached the twine bow with the chipboard heart in the center of the bow.

Here’s a closer view of the image details. I’ve colored the image with Copic markers and then went over the bear’s bow with a glitter brush pen. The white dots on the mushroom was covered with some Nuvo Glitter Drops. For a bit more personality, I have decided to take a black marker and make dots in the center of the eyes on both the mushroom and the teddy bear. I’ve also added some white dots on the teddy bear’s cheeks.

It’s Masculine at Cute Card Thursday!

Hello friends! Hope you are all having a wonderful week so far! I’m ready for this rain to end over my way and would love to send it along to those that need it! June is a hop-jump and a skip away, so I’m hoping that Summer will dry things up.

Speaking of June, Father’s Day will be coming up shortly for us here in the U.S. so the new challenge at Cute Card Thursday is a very timely one to have! We’d like to see your “Masculine” creations this week! Here’s what I’ve come up with:

LOL!! Our sponsor this week is Bugaboo Stamps! I have used this hilarious image called Gus Tidbits Unconsciousness. He’s a really good one to use for not only masculine, but humorous creations too!

For the card, I’ve printed out both the image and sentiment together and then cut out the panel with a stitched rectangle die and then layered a piece of Stampin’ Up! Soft Suede behind it. Before attaching these pieces together, I’ve sponged some ink around the edges of it.

The checkered paper that I’ve used on my design came from a My Favorite Things paper pad collection. I die cut a piece to layer over a top folding A2 sized white card base with another stitched rectangle die and then placed the image panel over top it on the card.

I also cut out a banner with the same papers and added it to the upper right image panel and then added on a chipboard clock button from my stash with some twine ribbon tied around it and placed it over the banner with some foam tape. I’ve added a wooden button in the center of the bow.

Here’s a better look at the coloring on Gus. You can see on his eye glasses where I’ve added some glossy accents. It was a really fun and simple card to create!

I hope you’ve enjoyed my masculine creation today!

*P.S. Here is another update on the bird nest…we have a baby!!

If you remember, there were 3 blue eggs in the nest. We can’t tell for sure, but it looks like just one baby bird in there. As you can see, there is one egg in there. We see what looks like a crack on it, but it hasn’t hatched and we’re not sure it will. We have no idea where the other egg/bird went to! There is nothing on the ground. With all of these severe thunderstorms and rain, I can imagine they’re having a hard time out there. It shouldn’t be too much longer that this little guy will be taking flight! So we’ll see if we can keep track of what’s going on from here! 🙂

Thinking of You with Fleur

Hello friends! I hope that you had a lovely weekend! Here we are with the last week of May already and Summer is showing itself in many ways right now. I do love seeing the flowers everyone has been sharing posts of with their yards full of blooms coming up everywhere!

Today I have this card using a cute Whimsy Stamps Digital stamp:

Vicki-Fleur-May28

This cutie was released this month by CC Designs called “Fleur“.

I just love the ring of flowers in her hair! I’ve actually printed her out twice so that I could cut a few extra flowers to add to the accents of my design!

For my card, I’ve taken a panel from the Rustic Woods and Brick digital papers and used that for the background of my design. I took a marker and added some dash marks for a stitch look. I added this piece to a 5″ square top folding suede card base which I sponged around the edges with some white ink. I did the same for the die cut fence panels and the circle layer behind the image.

I’ve taken a piece of decorative paper from my stash and sponged some ink around it and also wrapped some organdy ribbon around it before attaching to the card front base. I then die cut some grass to go over my fence border. My image was cut with a stitched circle die and sponged around the edges with the same ink as the decorative paper. This was layered over top of the suede circle panel, and these were popped up with some craft foam. I’ve added the bow and the cut-out flowers from the extra printed out image and then I’ve added a flower gem in the center of the bow. Each flower including the ones on the image were filled with some Nuvo Honey Gold Glitter Drops. I stamped a sentiment from the Whimsy Stamps Everyday Mini Sentiments clear stamp set with the same suede color ink.

Here’s a closer look at the coloring on this image. I’ve used the following Copic colors to color her in with:

Hair – Y00 (used for base), Y11, YR21, YR24, YR27
Skin – E21, E11, E00, E000, R20
Outfit/Shoes – E89, E87, E84, E81
Flowers – BG000, BG10
White gel pen used for cheeks and around hair flowers.
Ground/shadow – C1, E0000

You can also see the details from the Nuvo Glitter Drops that I’ve used in the center of the flowers including the one in the center of the bow.

Paper Nest Dolls Guest Design Spot with Fishy Kisses!

Hello friends! Happy Memorial Day and I hope you’ve been having a great weekend! I would like to take a moment on this day to stop and give thank you and remembrance to all of the U.S. service men and women who’ve served our country. Your service will never be forgotten.

I am very excited to share a card I made with an image that Christine sent me to play with from the Paper Nest Dolls! I’m sharing my card as a Guest Designer for her and I’m thrilled to be apart of it with her adorable images!

Vicki-PDMermaid Ellie Seahorse

I am using this CUTE image called Mermaid Ellie with Seahorse for my card. Isn’t that little seahorse she has her arm around adorable?! She was so much fun to color too!

There is just so much shimmer/shine and sparkle on this…so I hope I can capture it all for you! For the card, I’ve used the Tonic Basic Oval dies to cut her out with, but I’ve used the “Out of the Box” technique and cut out her tail before cutting the rest of the oval. You can see in the photo below how I’ve slightly curled her tail upwards.

The background of the card was done with a stencil and ink blending. I thought it was so fun as it reminded me of the scales! I cut this piece out with a square stitched rectangle die and then layered a piece of aqua colored mirrored cardstock that I’ve also used as an oval layer behind the mermaid image as well as a strip at the bottom.

For the strip at the bottom, I’ve wrapped around some linen thread and tied a bow with it. I’ve also wrapped around some ribbon to the layered stencil and mirror cardstock panels and then attached them to a 5″ square top folding card base.

I’ve taken a sentiment and heat embossed it with some “Mermaid Tail” EP and cut it out with a word banner die and sponged around the edges of it which I slipped under the first layer of the oval cut mermaid. I’ve added some burlap and a few of the sea shell sequins behind the oval image panel and popped her up along with the sentiment banner with some foam tape. Lastly, I added some half-back pearls randomly over the design.

Here’s a closer view of the image and all of the shimmer and sparkle details. I’ve colored her up in the following Copic markers:

hair – 100, W9, W7, W5, W3, W1
Mermaid shells – BG13, BG10 (covered with glitter brush pen)
Mermaid Tail – YG25, YG13, YG11, BG000 (pointillism with darkest and blender 0 and also green and white gel pens. The fin at the end was also covered with a glitter brush pen.)
Mermaid Skin – E21, E11, E02, E00, E000, R20
Seahorse – V17, V15, V12, R11, R00, R000 (pointillism with V colors and blender 0)
Shading – BG000

Vicki-PDMermaid Ellie Seahorse-flat

It’s hard to see it from the other angles of the card, but it looks like the sentiment heat embossed with “Mermaid Tail” shows more of the shimmer in it as well as the ribbon.

Cute Card Thursday is Square

Hello friends! It’s “Hip to be Square”, right?! That’s what the theme of this week’s new challenge is over at Cute Card Thursday! So please hop on over and check out the inspiration and play along with us! Here’s the card I’ve made for the challenge:

Vicki-CCT583-square

What better card to make than one for a crafty friend! 🙂 I’ve used a past Simon Says Stamp card kit from February 2018 for this one. I thought that I would carry the “square” theme throughout the design. – It’s great to pull out past kits and have a play with them!

The stamp set is called SSS Crafty Friends and I’ve randomly stamped some of the images on a vanilla-colored cardstock and then cut out each one with a stitched square die cut. I’ve also used the same die to cut out a square piece of decorative paper contained in the kit which also has a colorful square pattern on it.

For the paint pallet image as well as the tube of paint panels, I took some of the watercolor provided in the kit and added it for some color with a water brush. I took some twine and wrapped it around the top left panel with the hearts and sentiment and then placed the bow over top. I then added the scissors wood veneer over top which was also included in the kit. The turquoise-colored cardstock base and squared layered panels also came from the kit as well.

Here’s an even closer look at the different squared panels. You can better see the watercolor over the panels as well as the turquoise colored Nuvo Glitter Drops that I’ve added to the paint tube on the bottom panel.

It’s Party Time!

Hello friends! It’s been sort of a crazy few days with our weather! Usually it’s pretty warm and sunny, but we’ve been having some severe rain and cooler temps. Plus more rain coming, so I guess I’ll be in my craft room playing! 🙂

Today I have this happy party fellow from Whimsy Stamps to share with you:

Vicki-WSPenguin Bday Party-May21

Isn’t he adorable?! This image is called Penguin Birthday by Crissy Armstrong. This was previously released as a rubber stamp, but this month it has been released in digital format so you can have either option available!

I have cut him out with the Whimsy Stamps Notched Squares die set and cut an additional piece in black cardstock for a layer behind him. For the base of my card, I’ve used a green colored 5″ square top folding card base and attached a piece of striped paper across the lower section and sponged some white ink along the edges of the green card base panel. I then used a piece of 1/2″ score tape across the top of the striped strip panel and then used some fun glitter over top of it and burnished into the tape.

I’ve also used this same glitter to go over the Whimsy Stamps Happy Large Word die cut out from some double-sided sticker paper. I white heat embossed the “birthday” over a strip of black cardstock that I’ve cut into a banner and placed it directly underneath the glittered word die. This came from the Happy Everything Clear Stamp set.

Here’s a closer look at the coloring I’ve done on this cutie. You can also see the fun details of the glitter that I’ve used on the word die. I love the sort of “confetti flex” contained in this glitter. It’s something I got in a sample size from a card kit a couple of months ago and it’s great for birthdays! 🙂 Hard to see in the photo, but I’ve also used a clear glitter pen to go over the balloon and present. I sponged around the image panel with some of the same green ink that I’ve used for the card base cardstock color. I’ve used the following Copic markers to color him with:

Penguin – C8, C5, C3, C1, R00, R000, YR27, YR24, Y32
Balloon, party hat, present – YG01, YG11, YG13, V17, V15, V12
Shading, shadows, ground – C3, C1, E0000

P.S. I know that many of you have been asking for updates on the bird nest situation and so here’s another photo of what we were able to capture:

20190520_185442

After the flowers were done blooming, we were able to get more of a clear shot and CAREFULLY get close enough to get the mother Robin sitting on her nest! Like I had mentioned, she doesn’t like it when we go out there. She chirps at us and waits for us to leave.

20190520_184645

Here is one of her standing in the nest. We think that she may have hatched those eggs as it looks like she might be feeding the babies! So next time we’ll check back in and see if we can get a look at those babies in there! 🙂

Hope you’ve enjoyed my post today! Thanks for stopping by and I’ll see you soon!!

In Stitches for Cute Card Thursday

Hello friends! Wow, this week has really been flying by! I seem to think this almost every week, but I know when the weather starts getting warm, I seem to get more busy outside and perhaps that’s why with the weather being so nice, warm and sunny. I am enjoying it!

Today starts a brand new challenge over at Cute Card Thursday this week and the theme is “Stitching (faux or real)“. There are all types of ways to incorporate stitching into your paper crafting and I enjoy adding it to my creations. So here’s how I’ve added it to my card for today. I thought this would be such a cute idea for a get well card.

Vicki-CCT582

To make the slider for my card design, I have used the Lawn Fawn Magic Picture Changer and the Magic Picture Changer Add-On dies. It looks pretty intimidating, but it actually wasn’t that bad to put together as the measuring and cutting is done with the die. I’ve used the adorable Get Well Before ‘n Afters stamp set to create this and I know I’ll be making another one with the whale to make another card as I’m in need of one. The turtles were colored with Copic markers and I’ve used them to also create the grass and sky background behind the turtle as he needed something to “ground” him and not be up in the air. I took a water-proof pen and added a scribble above his head as he’s not happy being up-side-down!

I’ve cut the “add-on” pieces and the background of the card with the Lawn Fawn Watercolor Wishes and Really Rainbow paper packs. But before attaching the “add-on” papers to the turtle frame, I took a needle and some linen thread and added a few cross-stitch marks around the blue frame. I’ve also cut a few clouds from a retired LF die set and added the die cut “bottle” that I colored from the same “Get Well” stamp set.

Before I attached the turtle mechanism onto the card, I also die cut a strip of grass with the Grassy Hillside Pop-Up Add-On die in some green cardstock. I then took one of the sentiments from the same “Get Well” stamp set and white heat embossed it at the bottom of this piece. The turtle mechanism was popped up over the card front base with some foam tape which was all mounted to an A2 sized top folding card base.

I thought it would be fun to decorate the envelope too, so I die cut a piece of the grass again and used it as a stencil to sponge in some grass along the bottom of the envelope and then I also stenciled some clouds over it.

Vicki-CCT582-A

And here’s what the turtle looks like when you pull the tab out. He is much happier now that he’s back on his feet again! I think I played with this card and pulled that tab to watch that turtle get on his feet over and over! LOL! I hope it will have the same effect on the person who receives it too!

Here’s a closer view of the coloring that I’ve done. It was a small image and so I’ve kept the coloring pretty simple. For the “happy” turtle I’ve made a few clouds in the sky. To make the slider part work, you don’t want to add anything other than the coloring so that it slides smoothly.

Vicki-CCT582-flat

Here you can sort of get a better look at the coordinating envelope that I’ve made to go with the card. Although I have made some hand stitched marks on my card, the dies themselves already have lots of cool stitch details in them when you cut it out, so I think it just helped add to the design. This card is going to a male, so I didn’t want to create anything that was too over done. I think this might bring a smile, what do you think?

P.S. If you remembered my post the other day, I shared a photo of the Robin’s nest with one egg in it. Well, since I’ve last checked, there are a couple more in there now:

3 robin eggs

Every time we go out there, the mother watches for us to leave as she wants to sit on her eggs! This is why we can’t get a photo of her actually sitting on it. But we will see if anything happens in a few weeks! 🙂

Thanks so much for dropping by today! I hope you are enjoying your week and I’ll see you soon!!

Fairy Princess Bunny With a Pocket!

Hello friends! Hope you have enjoyed your weekend. Yay! We are finally getting some decent weather to be outside in! It’s been rainy and chilly for a while, so it’s been nice to see some sun the last few days!

Today I have this really sweet image to share from Whimsy Stamps May Digital release and a fun extra added element with it!

Vicki-PC Fairy Princess Bunny Tag

I have made a tag using this really sweet Pollycraft image from Whimsy Stamps called Fairy Princess Bunny. Isn’t she so sweet?! I found some pretty papers to go with her and placed it over a purchased kraft colored tag that I sponged some white ink around the edges.

After placing the papers where I wanted them and trimming it down, I also attached a lace trim on each end of the papers over the tag. The papers also had a bunch of sentiments included in the pack, so I added the circle sentiment to the tag and then die cut a kraft piece to layer behind it. I also added some flowers and the ribbon at the top and then finished it off with some clear sequins.

Here’s a closer view of the coloring I’ve done on this cutie. I’ve used Copic Markers to color her in with using the following markers:

Dress, shirt, shoes, socks – B37, B34, B32, B01, B00, B000
Bunny, bunny ears – R11, R00, R000, C3, C1, C0
Wings – R00, R000, E000, BG000
Hair – YR30, E41, E43, E44, V95
Skin – E000, E00, E11, E21, R20, R00
Grass – G24, G21, G20
I used gel pens to make dots on wings and color in the crowns on the girl and bunny heads. I also used a Wink of Stella glitter pen to go over the wings.

After I colored her in, I cut her out from a circle stitched scallop die and then sponged around the image with a cloud stencil and distress ink. I also sponged around the edges of the scallop circle with another color of distress ink and mounted her over the tag with a piece of craft foam behind her.

Vicki-PC Fairy Princess Bunny Tag-otherside

So, when you flip the tag over, you can see that I’ve made a little pocket with the same papers I’ve used on the front of the tag. I thought this would be a cute way to give out a gift card to your “Fairy Princess”. The tag happens to be the perfect size for adding a pocket for a gift card to fit into.
