Day 3 of Three Days with Rudolph!

This is the last edition in my mini series! And this one may be my favorite!

Jaded Blossom has this sweet stamp set called Hello Deer that has the cutest little reindeer on it and I have been using this cutie for this series.

This is Day 3 of Three Days with Rudolph:


I used these Copics to color my image:

E000, E00, E13, E15, E18
R22, R24, R29
R20

I have had fun with coloring and think that I may have to color an image a day for awhile. It is exciting to find an interest in something different and coloring images is something I have dabbled in but not really done a lot of. I'm liking it!

The sentiment is from a company that is out of business (sorry!) and the paper is from a retired Carta Bella collection (I'd like to talk them into rereleasing it though.).

The metal dies I used are from Jaded Blossom -
Card Mat Dies, Card Layer Dies 2, and Label Shape Dies.

You can find all the products from Jaded Blossom in the store here.

I hope you have enjoyed this series. Thank you for stopping by to see my creations.
You can find Day 1 here and Day 2 here if you missed them.

Blessings,

Day 2 of Three Days with Rudolph!

I'm still having fun with Christmas in July projects and I'm hoping you are getting a head start on your Christmas projects too!

Jaded Blossom has this sweet stamp set called Hello Deer that has the cutest little reindeer on it and I am doing a mini series to show off this cutie!!!

This is Day 2 of Three Days with Rudolph:


I again used the same Copic Colors as yesterday's card.

Copic Markers : 
E000, E00, E13, E15, E18
R22, R24, R29
R20

I struggled more with the blending this time. I think it was because I was trying too hard to get it to come out like yesterdays coloring and because I added more of the E18 on this one.

The sentiment is from a stamp company that is no longer in business and the paper is the same retired Carta Bella collection that I used for my Day 1 card.

The metal dies I used are from Jaded Blossom:
Card Mat Dies, Card Layer Dies 2, and Scallop Oval Dies.

You can find all the products from Jaded Blossom in the store here.

Hope you enjoyed today's card and that you will stop back tomorrow for Day 3.
If you missed the card from Day 1, you can find it here.

Day 1 of Three Days with Rudolph!

It's time for a bit more Christmas in July!

Jaded Blossom has this sweet stamp set called Hello Deer that has the cutest little reindeer on it and I want to share a mini series with you showing off this cutie!!!

This is Day 1 of Three Days with Rudolph:


I have had this stamp set too long to not have colored this sweet stamp! 

I used Copic Markers : 
E000, E00, E13, E15, E18
R22, R24, R29
R20

The more I use my Copics, the easier I am finding them to use. I need to buy some better paper as I am just using Recollections brand right now. Maybe with a better paper, I'd have an easier time with the blending.

The sentiment is from Jaded Blossom's Holiday Gift Tags stamp set. I love the fun font on this one.

I used some fun paper for this too. It is from an older Carta Bella Christmas collection - it is a collection that I wish they'd re-release. LOL! Do you have any paper collections like that? Something that you have a hard time using your last little bit of because you know that when it is gone - IT IS GONE. I have a few!!!

I used a few metal dies on this as well that are all from Jaded Blossom -
Stitched Circle Dies, Scallop Circle Dies, and Border Dies 2.

You can find all the products from Jaded Blossom in the store here.

Hope you enjoyed today's card and that you will stop back by to see the rest of my mini series.

Blessings,

You are One of a Kind!

Today I am sharing a new svg file from SVG Cutting Files. This one is called Parakeets. It will be available in the store this Friday.


I decided to use orange and blues for my card as the orange seems to be a favorite of mine lately and blue coordinates with it so well! After assembling the parakeet to fit on an A2 card base, I used the Card Mat Dies from Jaded Blossom to cut my background from some bright Doodlebug Design patterned paper. I also used Doodlebug paper on my bird. The sentiment is from JB's new stamp set, Pegasus Kisses

The parakeet was super easy to put together as Annie's svg files cut and layer so easily. This fun card will be a hit as I know a few bird lovers among my family and friends who would love to receive it.

Thanks for stopping by!

Blessings,

Celebrating!!!

Happy 4th of July!

It is my turn to post on the Jaded Blossom Blog and I have a super cute treat to share with you today using goodies from Jaded Blossom!


I know that sometimes we don't have stamps for specific holidays, so I wanted to share with you a way to make a festive treat for the 4th without one.


To start with, I cut three of the Ric Rac Topper Die and some stars from the Star Dies. I then used my Silhouette machine to cut three of the free SVG outline files of the United States that coordinates with the United States Map stamp set. This is where the fantastic technique of embossing comes in handy. I first stamped the image of the United States Map on my svg diecut using the Versamark Watermark Stamp Pad and then I stamped the word Celebrating from Invitations Galore over the top of it also using the Versamark Watermark ink. I then poured blue embossing powder over it and heat set it and was able to get a fun sentiment right over my map. I used some Doodlebug Design paper for my background and some iridescent white cardstock from my scrap pile for the stars.


I think they came out quite festive and so very fun!


Thanks for dropping in today! May your day be blessed with the joy of family and friends; and where it is needed, may God grant you peace and comfort!

Blessings,
