Wish You Were Hare

Hello friends, Who doesn’t love baby chicks and baby bunnies? Today I made a little scene using the darling Stamp and Die set recently released by Ranger and Simon Hurley? It is adorable as can be. The set is called Easter Bunnies. I didn’t want to make an Easter card quite yet and I stumbled upon this punny sentiment when going through my MFT stash and that is when an idea hit me. BTW…this sentiment is from the Woodland Words set in case you want to know.

Details: I had this pretty background called Floral View from Spellbinders already pressed and colored and ready to use when I thought it might just work with my idea, and low and behold it did. The background was colored with Copics only and then I colored my little critters with Copics and Prismas. I actually stenciled the peach sky last using my MFT cloud stencil. I didn’t feel the need to mask it off as I was doing it ever so lightly.  This Barely Peach Card Stock that I used for my bottom and third layer is from Spellbinders. I really, really like it.

*There is one more thing I want to add that really is making my cardmaking much easier. I recently purchased the A2-Matting Basics from Spellbinders and it certainly speeds things up when it comes to making multiple layers that nestle perfectly into one another. This is something I should have gotten eons ago, and am a bit ashamed that I hadn’t until now.

Thinking of U

Hello friends, It’s release day over at Spellbinders and the stamp I have used on today’s card is from the House Mouse Winter Collection. They have 4 darling designs in this release and the stamp I got to work with is called We Heart You. What I love most about these House Mouse stamps is they are easy to color when coloring is not your strength…like me. I totally enjoy the process but I lack the confidence. Coloring is something I hope to do more of in the New Year.

For my first card, decided to just use one of the mice instead of all three which you can see below.

Believe it or not, I did not make a mask of the mouse when making this card. I blended the pink background first and then stamped the mouse. If you look closely, you can perhaps tell. However, instead of making Mr. Mouse a normal brown color, I added a bit of Burnt Sienna to hide the pink. The sentiment that comes with the set says Thinking of You and I just didn’t ink up the you. I used Copic and Prismas as my medium.

I am linking up with Darnell over at NBUS as this is the first card I made with this stamp.

A Little Something to Brighten Your Day

Hello, Happy Sunday! Today I am back with a card using my Spellbinder’s Letterpress Betterpress and some Prisma Colored Pencils. This gorgeous plate was part of October’s Autumn Serenade release. The plate is called Sunflower Bouquet. It is a very large plate and I opted to not show as much of the glass vase the flowers are in to keep it A2 size this time. The plate also comes with four fabulous sentiments and matching outlines.

What I love about this plate is the amazing detail it has and how it makes coloring an absolute breeze.

Merry Christmas-Better Press

Hello, I have stepped out of Fall for a bit and back into Christmas, so it seems. Today’s card features a gorgeous new Spellbinder’s Better Press plate called Poinsettia Corner from the Better Press Christmas Collection. It is such a pretty plate that I know will help me get those Christmas cards finished.

Card Details: After I pressed my image on a grey BP-Cotton Panel, I did a mix of both watercolors and colored pencils. First, I came in with the watercolors and then used Prismas to give the details, that I clearly can not achieve on my own. It takes a true artist to be able to do that. I still can’t figure out where the light source is according to the resident artist, that I live with. He said, “I have the light coming from every direction.” LOL What does he know? LOL Well, I thought it turned out okay, prior to showing it to hubby. I think the white pencil on the berries and pinecone helped greatly. Anyway, I intentionally Pressed the image in an arc as I knew the layout I wanted to make. The Notched Corner Frames finished it off perfectly and I like the sentiment on the dark red. With a little greenery, berries, and gold paper dots in the corner, I was done.

You are Unforgettable

Hello, Can you even believe it’s February 1st already? I certainly can’t! So if it truly is and I am not dreaming, it’s time for our next Hues of Colors over at Color Hues. Let me warn you that the Design Team and our two guests- Karren and Janet did an incredible job with these colors! You must pop on over to the blog and check everyone’s work! It seems florals were very popular, but I kinda went in a totally different direction. Although, I am digging this cute little Alligator and he certainly looks harmless to me.

I will be playing along with Darnell over at NBUS as this set from Whimsy Stamps is new to me.

Card Details: The Gator and orange blossoms are from Whimsy Stamps and sadly were part of a Hurrican Ian Relief fundraiser for Florida and are no longer available. The sentiment is from MFT and is also retired. I used Copic and Prisma Colored Pencils. I did a bit of fussy cutting too. I have dimensionals under my blossoms.

I certainly would love for you to join us at Color Hues! Take care, Nanc’

I’m Glad Opposites Attract

Hello, I am back today with a card that was designed around two challenges. First, I chose the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches and then, the Color Challenge over at My Favorite Things. I thought the colors were so bright and happy together and I knew they would pair nicely with my idea. I had this stenciled heart laying on my desk for a few days that was left over from a previous card and was happy to put it to use. This card could be used for Valentine’s Day, Anniversary, and perhaps even Friendship. The dotted paper was a fun find in my stash.

Card Details: Heart Stencil is from Honey Bee Stamps. The dogs, sentiment, and little hearts are all from MFT-Begging to See You set. I used Copics and Prismas to Color with. The banner die is from Pink and Main.

I certainly appreciate you stopping by! I hope you have or had a wonderfully creative day! Nanc’

…A Sandy Little Christmas

Hello, I hope you are doing well. I have a CAS card for you today. If you know me at all, you know I don’t enjoy mass-producing cards no matter the Holiday, but I did manage this year to make about 25 of these. Of course, 18-25 don’t look nearly as good as number 1. So if you receive one of those, I am truly sorry. LOL I added glitter on the tops of the stockings.

I am tickled to be joining my friends over at The Paper Players this time.

I am also going to link up with the team over at Inkspirational. Although there is no snow in my glass bulb, thankfully all I see are white sandy beaches.

Card Details: The stamp set is from Newton’s Nook and called-Sun Soaked Christmas. I colored it with Copics and Prismas and then came back with a light sponging using some Oxide Ink.

I hope you have a wonderful day and find some time to be creative during this busy season. Take care, Nanc’

My Heart is…

Hello, Today I am playing along with Time Out Challenges where the challenge is Inspired by Words. I have been wanting to make another card using this darling gnome stamp from Whimsy Stamps and as soon as I saw this challenge that pertained to the heart, I knew it was a perfect time.

If this card looks a wee bit familiar I have Cased myself with a tad bit different layout. Here is my first card from about a year ago.

Card Details: Stamp-Whimsy Stamps, sentiment is from Verve, I used MFT cloud stencil and oxide ink for my background, and Copics and Prismas as my medium. The DSP is from SU.

I hope you have a wonderful Friday and a great weekend ahead, Take care, and happy crafting! Nanc’

Fall is in the Air

Hello, I hope you are having a good week so far. I have had this cute little Fall Gnome set from Spellbinders for about a month now and it was past time that I inked him up. The set is absolutely darling and has so many cute stamps included. I recently realized that Fall themed stamps are probably what I have the least of, so I am very pleased to add this set to my collection!

The weather has been so much cooler here post-Hurricane Ian and we are enjoying our morning and evening walks so much. In fact, near the end of this week, we are supposed to have highs in the 70’s, so Fall is showing itself a bit even here in Florida.

Fall Gnomes Dies

Spellbinders 6

After I stamped, colored, and die cut these darling images, I decided to get out my MFT Watercolored Wash Rectangle to make a background for Mr. Gnome. In order to make the gap in the sky and the grass I shorten the stencil using the positive piece that comes in the set. Then I remove the stencil, make a gap, and finish inking the bottom using Oxide inks once again. For my mediums I have mostly used Copics with a bit of Prisma Colored Pencils for detail, especially for his beard.

Here is a pic to help you understand what I did with the stencil.

I am playing along with Addicted to Stamps and More for their Die Cut and Stencil Challenge.

I hope you have a wonderful day and get a chance to do something that brings you Joy! Your visits certainly bring me JOY as well!

Take care, Nanc’

Holey Sheet…

Hello, I hope you are having a good week! Today I am ignoring the fact that it’s 90+ degrees outside and I am jumping into Fall a bit with a Halloween card. I saw the sketch by Anne Marie over at The Paper Players and wanted to make sure to play along. I think Teal ghosts should be a thing, what about you? Too over the top?

Card Details: Cloud stencil is MFT. I used Oxide Inks for the background. Copics and Prismas to color my ghosts. The stamp set is one of my favs from Miss Ink Stamps called Boo Sheet. The stars are made from a Verve border die.

I hope however you spend your day it has a bit of creativity thrown in! Take care, Nanc’
