poppystamps Whittle Racing Giraffe Kit Card…

Just to make you smile! A super cute new kit from poppystamps!  Whittle Racing Giraffe!  I didn’t use the race car yet but I think it’d be so cute for a new driver or one that just got their drivers license!

I went with one I could use for a graduate or anyone on their way up the ladder! There are several sentiments included in this cute kit!  All so fun!

I die cut, colored and inked the cuts.  So easy with the lines that impress when you cut guiding you where to color!

Then I chose some pattern papers from the Memory Box Anemone Grove 6×6 paper pad, one for the sky and one for the grass, tore the edge on the grass…. paper piecing the background so to speak! lol

I like it!  the little flowers in the green piece make me think of dandelions or clover!

This is a mini slimline size card. 3 ⅛ in.  6 in.

Wow!  What a busy Spring it’s been! Are you finding that too?

Events with Grandchildren that we love doing.  A wedding!  Last weekend our oldest grandson was in a bike race in Burlington, IA!  That was mind blowing! I cannot believe how fast they can ride those bikes!  One of my sisters passed away last Thursday.  Sad.  I’m 7th of 8 children so three have passed now.   So instead of weddings being the cause of family reunions, now it’s funerals. Not near as fun!

We’re enjoying being outside more for sure! Hope all is well for you and you’re keeping up with cardmaking! hoho!

take care and links below if you want a cute set to make with!

Memory Box Budding Gladiola Stem Mini Slimline Card…

Hi everybody! Aren’t the flowers beautiful everywhere?!  In real life and in cardstock!

I’m sharing a card with the NEW Memory Box Gladiola release….there are several Gladiola dies in the release…all beautiful!

I die cut in white Hammermill 100# color copy cardstock and colored with Copics this time.

I used V12, 15 and 17 for the purple and YG25, 17 and 67 for the green.  Simple coloring…

Two NEW 6×6 pattern paper pads too!  Gladiola Plaid and Glimmering Gladiola.  I used a piece from both pads.

I die cut the rectangle with the Memory Box Slim Basic Rectangle die set. I had to run it through the die cut machine twice though because I wanted it shorter for this mini slimline size.

The sentiment on the front is the Memory Box Posh Happy Birthday Hot Foil Plate and die set.  I used metallic cardstock and black hot foil.

On the inside, which I forgot to take a picture of, I used the Birthday Wishes to you on your very special day from the Memory Box Joyful Moments stamp set.

I love this mini slimline card size.  3 ½ in. x 6 in. this time.  It’s just a dainty,  charming card!

Email me if you have any questions.  Hope I didn’t forget anything.

poppystamps Nordic Flower Pots and Stems with Nordic Flower Heads Card…

I’m off on this color scheme again!  Such a terra cotta pot girl! lol Poppystamps Nordic series for Spring was fun to create with.  I used some scraps and the plaid from a previous release to make this A2 size card.

Nordic Flower Pots and Stems die, Nordic Flower Heads die and Nordic Bird Bunch die, all from poppystamps.

It’s hard to see in my photos but I die cut the Memory Box Pinpoint Leaf Plate in the kraft rectangle panel. You can see it much better holding it in your hand!

I used the Happy Birthday in the poppystamps Birthday Banners stamp and die set.

The plaid strip is from the Memory Box 6×6 Anemone Plaid paper pad.

The kraft cardstock is from Hobby Lobby and the white cardbase is Neenah.

I inked everything with a little Gathered Twigs Distress ink and a mini ink blending tool.  A little Copic coloring on some of the floral pieces.

The Nordic Flower Heads and Bird Bunch dies have a lot of options! Very fun… I went a little country but I’m anxious to see what everyone else does with them!

I’m a little sidetracked right now. I’ve been making bread again but just a couple weeks ago started sourdough!  Any bread bakers out there that read my blog? hehe  It’s fun and yummy!  I want to try English Muffins and Bagels!

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Memory Box Hippity Hoppity Bunny Card (Masterpiece)!

Hi everyone! Cute card warning and yes I’m calling it a masterpiece because I hung all the eggs in the trees!  A work of heart/art! lol

I had fun but I could’ve made another card in the time it took… this might stay at my house on the mantel! lol

This is such a neat, whimsical rabbit!  He’d be cute dancing around in a carrot garden too!

I cut two rows of MB Prairie Grass, mounted the top row with the thin mounting tape I love…

Die cut the New Berry Branches and Leaves and made them trees.  I used the eggs from the NEW Hippity Hoppity Bunny die and colored them with Copics!  I added the lines to the basket in pencil with a ruler and then went over them with a stylus.

I took the straight sentiments from the NEW poppystamps Spring Banners stamp set and mounted them in the MISTI to stamp on the curve with Distress Archival Peeled Paint ink pad.

I’ll link everything below…

I used the Happy Easter and the included die from the same sentiment set and mounted it with the thin mounting tape also.

A little Copic and color pencil to enhance the bunny/whiskars and oh Gathered Twigs and the mini ink blending tool for the white parts of his body.

I have some more Easter dies to get made up so I’ll be back soon I hope!  I can’t take as long on the next cards! lol

Have a great week everybody!  Thank you so much for stopping by!

Simon Says Stamp House Border Frame and Doodlebug Designs Happy Home Card…

Hi everyone!  I just got this NEW House Border Frame just in time to make and give away!

I stamped a little outdoor scene with Happy Home stamp set from Doodlebug Design and did some sloppy Copic coloring!

The little roof sections are a separate die so that’s nice and adds a little dimension.  I die cut them in black and glued them on.

Welcome to the neighborhood is from the stamp set also.

Spring is coming, right?! lol  A person can always think Spring no matter that it’s below zero in polar Iowa right now! lol

I used a dot paper from Hobby Lobby and the stripe from My Favorite Things.

The banner die is from poppystamps.

It’s an A2 size card.  Delivered with a loaf of homemade bread!  yay!

Happy weekend to you and thank you so much for stopping by!
