Card A Day Blog: Easter

Hi everyone, here is my latest entry for the Card A Day Blog. I saw this adorable little guy and thought he would look so cute on my card.

Here is how I made it.

• 5.5 x 8.5" piece of white card stock for my card base.
• 5.25 x 4" piece of patterned paper.
• Medium blue card stock for die cut.
• White card stock for digi stamp.
• Digi stamp from, McMahon Five Designs.
• Copic markers, R000, RV10, RV42, YG11, YG23, YG63.
• Blue and white striped ribbon
• Pink My Moments rose.
• Spellbinder's die, Fleur De Lis Squares.
• Easter Greetings stamp.

I first printed out my digistamp, and then colored it using the Copic markers mentioned above. I then cut out my frame for my image using the medium Fleur De Lis die from the medium blue card stock, the adhered the image to the die cut. I then adhered my patterned paper to my card base, and attached my framed image on that. I made a bow using my Bow Easy, and attached it just under my image. I decided I wanted a little something more added to the bow, so I attacked the pink rose to the middle of it. Since it's for Easter, I stamped the sentiment, Easter Greetings with pink ink, on a piece of white card stock, cut it to size, and inked around the edges with blue ink and a dauber. I then attached the sentiment just under the bow.

I hope you like my little piglet Easter card. I sure enjoyed making it. If you would like to let me know what you think, please leave me a comment. I would surely appreciate it.

Card A Day Blog: Thinking of you

I get to start off this weeks theme " Thinking of you" at the Card A Day Blog. I saw this cute little digital stamp over at Digistamp Boutique, and thought he would be perfect for my card.

Here is how I made my card.

Ingredients:

• 5.5 x 8.5" piece of white card stock for my card base.
• 5.25 x 4" piece of patterned paper.
• 3.5 x 3.75" piece of solid purple card stock.
• 3.25 x 2.75 piece of white card stock for digi stamp.
• Digi stamp from, Digistamp Boutique.
• Copic markers, RV13, Y08, BV08, BV13, G14, C2.
• Pink polka dot ribbon.
• Light purple Prima Flower.
• Glossy Accents.
• Viva Decor, purple.
• Fiskars, Leave It To Weaver, border punch.

To make my card, I first brought my digistamp into one of the scrapbooking programs that I have, so I could size it, and type in my sentiment. I printed my image on white card stock, and cut it to the size I wanted. I colored the flowers, leaves, grass, and edges of the fur on the puppy. I then punched the bottom edge of my purple card stock with my border punch, then attached my image above the punched border. I then wove my ribbon into the punched slots, and taped the ends to the back of the mat. I then attached that piece to my background paper. I dotted the inside of the flowers on the image with a dab of Glossy Accents. I thought it needed a little something more, so I added a Prima flower to the corner of the mat, and added a dot of purple Viva Decor in the middle.

I thought this card turned out so cute, I'm probably going to make more, and send them to Operation Write Home, an organisation that I try to be involved with as much as I can.

If you'd like to let me know what you think about my creation, please leave me a comment, I would really love to hear what you think. Be sure to enter our monthly challenge at the Card A Day Blog Weekly Challenge. There will be a wonderful prize offered to the lucky winner.

Card a Day Blog: Mamma's New Baby

It's that time again, for me to post my entry for this week's theme, baby, at the Card A Day Blog. Here is the card that I created.

Here are the ingredients for my card

• One piece of white card stock, 8.5"x5.5", folded in half, for card base.
• One piece of designer paper. Mine is from the Pocket Full Of Posies Stack from "Die Cuts With A View".
• Digital Stamp image from " A Day For Daisies" 
• Spellbinder's Die, "Lacy Ovals".
• Copic Markers, E50, E51, YR00, YR20 and YR61, for skin. RV02 and RV10 for Mom's dress. BG000 and BG0, for baby's gown, and mom's sash. E57 and E08 for mom's hair.
• One piece of blue organdy ribbon, approximately 20 inches. 

I started off printing out my image using my computer, then cutting it out using my Spellbinder's die. I then colored my image using above mentioned Copic markers. I added a bit of ink to the edges of the die cut, then I laced the ribbon through the scallops of the die cut, and made a bow at the bottom.

I adhered my designer paper to my card base, then attaching my die cut image on top of that. Inside, I used a sentiment from Stampendous stamps.

I hope you like my card, and if you would like to leave me a comment, I would really love it. Make sure to go check out our monthly challenge.
