Wishing you a Beary Merry Christmas

November 15, 2023November 15, 20232 Comments

Hello and welcome everyone!

My design team project for I Am Roses today features this super sweet digital stamp from All Dressed Up Stamps called Christmas Bear Hugs.

Before printing I brought the image into Photoshop and removed the print in her headband so I could create my own pattern.

I printed this adorable image on X-Press It Blending Card and colored it with the following markers.

~Copics~
Skin: E04, E11, E21, E00, E000, E0000, R20, R30, R00
Hair: E53, E99, YR21
Reds: R59, R46, R29, R27, R08, R05
Greens: YG17, YG03, YG01
Grays: W3, W1, W0, W00
White Gel Pen

The gorgeous I Am Roses flowers I used on my card are:

R3-15 – Size 3/4″ or 2cm White Open Roses
LY3-15 – White Small Lily Paper Flowers
S10-15 – White Small Craft Paper Flowers
R2-839 – Mini 1/4″ or 1cm Mixed All Green – White Open Roses
R2-15 – Mini 1/4″ or 1 cm White Paper Open Roses
LY3-161 – Soft Green Mini Lily Crafts Paper Flowers
R5-15 – Indian Jasmine (1″or2.5cm) White Paper Flowers

When it came to arranging the flowers I decided I didn’t want the large red flower quite so big, so I took the bottom row of petals off and glued the green leaves back on. For the right side I used that row of red petals that I removed, and glued them together to appear like a small flower bud.

As always, you can find an abundance of gorgeous flowers for sale here.

Dear Santa

December 21, 20222 Comments

Hello and welcome!

Today I’m sharing a this adorably sweet image from All Dressed Up Stamps called Santa Post. She finished her wish list for Santa and is mailing it to Santa in hopes her wishes come true.

I had all my Christmas cards done and mailed out for this year, but decided I should maybe start super early for next years cards..wink wink!

I printed this little cutie on X-Press It Blending Card and colored her with the following markers.

~Copics~
Skin: E04, E11, E21, E00, E000, E0000, R20, R30, R00

Bird: E44, E42, E41, YR15

I used a minimal print paper and added a scalloped die cut frame around her. Once the frame was glued to the image I then attached it to the card base with and extra layer of thick card stock in between.

Hello crafty friends!

I don’t know about you, but my dogs are little beggars when it comes to ice cream. Good thing I’m not a fan of chocolate ice cream…then there would be no sharing…lol!

Today I am back to share another little sweetheart from the new release at All Dressed Up Stamps. This adorable image is called ‘Too Good to Share‘.

I printed this little cutie on X-Press It Blending Card and colored her with the following markers:

~Copics~

Believe

Hello and welcome!

When you believe in yourself…all things are possible!

This adorable little cutie called Flower Dreams from All Dressed Up Stamps is busy believing she can do anything she works hard at.

I printed this sweet girl on white card stock and colored her with the following colored pencils.

~Prismacolor Pencils~
Skin: 945, 1081, 1017, 1092, 939, 997, 927, 929, 1013, 938

Yellows: 942, 916, 1012, 1011
Greens: 1097, 1005, 912, 1004, 989
Pinks: 1054, 929, 928, 1014, 930
Shadow: 996, 1026, 938

The card base was made using a shaped die. I cut one out of the dotted paper, and two out of white. I glued the dotted piece and one white one piece together (right sides facing out). The remaining white piece was scored an inch down from the top, to create an easel effect for the back so it would stand up. I glued to top 1 inch to the front of the card.

Hi

Hello and welcome!

I used to love pretty flowered dresses when I was little. The full skirts with ruffles on them were the most fun to twirl around in! This little cutie pie from All Dressed Up Stamps is called ‘Love Spring Time‘. I just couldn’t resist drawing in some pretty purple flowers on her cute little dress.

I printed this little sweetheart on X-Press It Blending Card and colored her with the following markers.

~Copics~
Skin: E11, E21, E00, E000, E0000, R20, R30, R00
Hair: E55, E53, E51, Y21
Grays: C4, C2, C1, C0, C00
Purples: V09, V17, V12
White Gel Pen

I took a stroll through one of our local scrapbook stores last week and found some adorable dies. I mixed them with some that I already had to come up with this design. I love how it turned out!
