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.

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.
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.

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.

It's time again for me to post a card to Card A Day Blog. This week's theme is, "Wedding". I was making a lace flower for a flower swap I'm in and I thought one of them would be perfect for this project.
To make the flower that I used for this, I used one yard of lace, basted it across one side, then gathered it together to make a circle. I stitched together the ends. To decorate my flower, I glued on loops of pearl trim, with a hot glue gun. The theme for this swap was Valentine, so I attached a button in the middle, and added a piece that I snipped off some Crystal Stickers Clusters that I had, and attached it to the top of the button. I then adhered my finished flower to a die cut that I cut out using my Cuttlebug, and the Spellbinder's Die, Picot Edge Circles. My card base is made out of a piece of white card stock, 8.5" x 5.5", folded in half. My background paper is from Hot off The Press. I wanted to add a little something to it, so I snipped off a piece of trim that I had. I don't have the packaging anymore, so I don't know the brand name.
The inside of the card I stamped with a stamp that I had in my collection, again, I don't know who made it, but I thought it was fitting for a wedding card.
I hope my card has given you some insperation, and I sure would love it if you would leave me a comment, and let me know what you think of it. Don't forget to check out the challenge at the Card A Day Challenge. A prize will be offered to the lucky winner.
Just recently I joined my first stick pin swap. I had been seeing all these neat stick pins that others have been making, and I decided I'd like to try it out. After doing some research on Youtube, and other sites, I decided to dive in, and make some myself. I found the swap posted on Crafter's Digital Art Center, and decided to join in on the swap. I had been in many other types of swaps, and I thought this would be a little different.
A couple of days ago, I received the package of swapped stick pins, and quickly tore into it. It was like Christmas. I had so much fun going through all the little packages, and looking at what everyone had created. They were all so beautiful. I had planned to just take pictures, and post them here. I really wished I could make videos, but I didn't have a video camera, then I remembered, my new iPhone had a video camera, and maybe I could make videos with it. I set out to figure that out, made a test video, and decided it would work nicely for what I wanted to do. So, if you want to see what I came up with, go ahead and check them out. Please keep in mind, These are my first attempts at making videos, so I'm sure they aren't as good as some of the others out there, but I am pleased with the quality of the videos that the camera took.
Here is the " Spring Theme " swap
" Love Themed " swap
If you have the time, I would love it if you would leave me a comment, and let me know what you think.
Here is the card I am entering in the Crafter's Digital Art Center (CDAC) Freebie Challenge. We were provided digital images and are challenged to come up with a chard using one or more of the images provided. The image I chose was provided by, Happy Scrappin Doodles. There are lots of beautiful images there, so go check it out.
To make my card, I first started off with a piece of white card stock, 8.5"x 5.5 ", folded in half, then I added a 5.5" x 4" piece of patterned paper, from the DCWV Pocket Full of Posies 8x8 pack, for my card front. I printed out my image on white card stock, then I used Copic markers to color the image. I wanted to use one of the Spellbinder dies that I have, so I decided to cut out my colored image, then with some shimmery green paper that I had, I cut out a mat using the largest Beaded Ovals Nestabilities Die. I attached the Oval in the middle of the card first, then attached my image on top of the Oval.
I wanted a sentiment, so I looked through my collection of clear stamps, and found the one I thought would work well. Using a red ink pad to ink up my stamp, I placed my sentiment on the lower right corner of my patterned paper.
I thought my card needed something else, like maybe a bow, so I just happened to have a piece of orange ribbon sitting on my table, so I decided that would be good for my bow, which I made using my Bow-Easy. I then attached my bow to the upper left corner of my card.
Thanks for taking a look, and if you have the time, please leave me a comment, and let me know what you think.
