MFTWSC30 - Cute Is What I Do!

Cute Is What I Do! from My Favorite Things Pure Innocence line is one of my favorite sets in a long time!  It really lends itself to some cute paper piecing and coloring with my Copic markers.  I did this little cutie in honor of their weekly sketch challenge, MFTWSC30.  The base of the card is Neenah, the green and floral print is either Three Bugs in a Rug or Little Yellow Bicycle, sorry not sure at the moment.  The pink gingham is Bo Bunny.  I used an EK Success punch to do my scallops at the bottom.  I used two Spellbinders Nesties, one for her and one for the layer in pink behind her.  She, of course is colored with my Copics, E51, E30, E21, R02, Y11, Y23, Y26, Y28, B0000, B00, C0, R83, R85.  I lightly airbrushed a little B0000 around her.  I used another EK Success punch to do the green flower.  The floral "ribbon" trim is some I picked up at JoAnn's and I had some little sparkly rhinestones in my stash for a little extra bling.  I think she's adorable, I hope you like her too!

Revamped By Lori Designs Cutie

You know, sometimes you create a card and it's okay, you know, kindof cute.  You're in a hurry to get it posted so you rush or you just don't feel the creative juices flowing freely so you settle for okay.  And then when you least expect it, the inspiration hits and you know what you need to do to complete the card and make it better than kindof cute.  My little Presley Lollipop is now complete and I think she's adorable.  If you look at the previous post, you can see the big difference a few little finishing touches have made.  I love Prima flowers and I so wish I could remember where the buttons came from.  The punches are SU and the sentiment is by Amuse.  I'm much happier with the changes made.

By Lori Designs Cutie

Here's a little cutie I created with one of the adorable images from "By Lori Designs."  I absolutely adore her images and this one especially reminds me of my granddaughter, Emmaline.  I wanted to do something fun and cute with her so I kept it simple making her the focal point and letting the papers provide the rest of the eye candy.  The papers are Neenah, Bazzill, Cloud 9 and Bo Bunny.  I also used a Spellbinders die, some lace trim from my stash and a little Tim Holtz Distress Ink.  Of course I colored her with my Copics - E000, E00, E30, R20, YR14, YR16, YR18, E08, Y15, Y17, Y19, YG93, YG95, R21, E13, E15.  Hope you like her!

Have a Bloomin' Good Day!

I have only recently found My Favorite Things stamp company and I am so glad I did!  For starters, the little girl looks like my granddaughter, Emmaline.  These are just some of the cutest stamps I have seen, I love them!  I stamped her on Neenah Classic Crest and colored her with my Copics.  I paper-pieced her dress with some cute paper I think is from SU and using the same paper I layered that on some Real Red for my base.  I cut her out with the Lattice Rectangles Nestabilities Spellbinder die.  I also used the flower die from MFT to cut out some flowers which I layered on Prima flowers for a little more dimension and colored some pearls with my Copic R22.  The blue velvet ribbon is from my stash so I don't know what company it's from.  I added a little more grass than what was actually part of the stamp with my Micron pen.  I think she's pretty darn cute and now it's time to enter her in some challenges!

Tilda Loves America

Yes, I know Tilda is really a cute little Swedish sweetie, but today, she's all American and proud of it!  I colored this patriotic doll with my Copics, sparkled the stars on her dress with an atyouSpica in clear and cut her out using a Spellbinder's Nestie.  I also stamped the saying by Northwoods in Memento Tuxedo Black, bordered it with an old firecracker stamp that I believe is from SU, colored with my Copics and pop-dotted it on.  I then added a little yellow and stardust Stickles to the fuse of the firecrackers for a little sparkle.  Now, let me back up a little, the really fun part of this card is the background.  There's an airbrushing challenge this week on iCopic (WC #36) so I was feeling inspired. I punched out some stars, placed them around in a random pattern and airbrushed with B69.  When I felt like I had enough color, I airbrushed some R29 on for the stripes.  I used three of the stars I had previously used for stencils as decoration along the bottom.  I did edge both Nestie peices with my R29 Copic Sketch for just a hint of color. The base of the card is Bazzill and the rest of the paper is Neenah Classic Crest.  I kept the card relatively simple since there was so much going on with patterns.  I do hope you enjoy my card, I certainly had a good time making it.

God Bless America!

This is one of the newer Tildas, or newer to me at least, from Magnolia Stamps.  I spent nine years on active duty in the Army so I'm very patriotic.  I love our great country and am so proud to be an American.  This is a 6x6 card with Bazzill as the base cardstock and for the stars.  I stamped Tilda and the picket fence stamp on Neenah and the printed papers are Best Creations.  The stars were cut out with a Spellbinder's Nestie.  Her flag is paper-pieced and I cut the buntings and the sentiment from the printed paper's other side.  Tilda is colored with Copics and pop-dotted over the fence.  I really enjoyed making this card and I hope you enjoy it too!  Thanks for looking!

Celebrate Freedom

This is a quick little card done with two Stampendous stamps, Celebrate Freedom and one of the Bee Happy stamps. The bee on the tricycle looked like he really needed a path to travel along so I added one with a micron pen. The image is colored with Copics and cut out with a Spellbinders Nestie mounted on a piece of Bo Bunny also cut out with a Nestie. I stamped the Celebrate Freedome twice and cut out both with a Nestie mounting one on the side and one on the bottom. The background paper is by Best Creations. I also used Stickles to accent the dots on the Celebrate Freedom stamp and to also accent the bee's antennae. I wanted to do something simple and cute. I hope you enjoy it.
