happy new year!

Hello friends!

I can’t believe we are on the countdown to the new year already! 2025 is coming way too fast for me.

My card today features this little cutie pie from the new digital stamp release at All Dressed Up Stamps called ‘Happy 2025‘.


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

~Copics~
Skin: E04, E11, E21, E00, E000, E0000, R20, R30, R00
Hair: E57, E55, E31, YR21

Yellow: YR23, Y15, Y11, Y00
Gray: C6, C4, C3, C1
White Gel Pen


The star frames are a cut file I manipulated on my Silhouette machine. I fussy cut her out so that you could see the stars behind her. I added a few die cut stars out of the gold paper to break up the plain white.

Hello friends!

I’m finally back after some much needed time off…and I’m excited to say I will be designing for All Dressed Up Stamps once again!!

Today I am sharing this super adorable image from All Dressed Up Stamps called ‘Love to Knit‘. I am a knitter at heart, and this seriously makes me want to start a new sweater for winter!!

I printed this sweetheart at a height of 3.5″ on X-Press It Blending card and colored her with the following markers.

~Copics~
Skin: E04, E11, E21, E00, E000, E0000, R20, R30, R00
Hair: E57, E55, 31, E30, YR23
Pinks: RV14, R43, R32, R20, RV10
Grays: C4, C3, C1, C0, Colorless Blender
White Gel Pen
Fine details added with Prismacolor Colored Pencils


I was lucky enough to find a few knit theme dies in my stash. The knit stitch die worked perfect for the background and how adorable is that little ball of yarn? The knitting needles are a cut file from the Silhouette Online Store. I created the sentiment on my computer.

Little house of Fairies

Hi friends!

If you follow my blog…you know I love all things girly and pink!

I have been wanting to create a little flip album for quite some time, and these adorable little fairies from Paper Nest Dolls were so perfect for this project.

My inspiration came from a project I saw online when ordering my paper.

Once I decided which elements I wanted to use from the Fairy Set, I printed them on X-Press It Blending Card and started coloring.

~Copics~
Skin: E13, E11, E21, E00, E000, E0000, R20, R30, R00
Hair Combinations: 100, E70, E59, E57, E55 / E29, E27, E25, E23, E99 / E55, E53, E51, E50
Teals: BG15, BG13, BG11, BG00
Yellows: YR23, Y15, Y11, Y00
Reds: R08, R05, R14
Oranges: YR18, YR16, YR15, Y18
Wings: BG0000, BG000, RV0000
Purples: V04, V01, V000, RV000
Pinks: RV55, RV02, RV00, RV0000
Grays: W7, W5, W3, W2, W1, W0
Greens: YG17, YG03, YG01, YG00

The mushroom shape was cut out with my Cameo Silhouette. I started with 5 white pages and added the layers to each side of the page. Embellishments were added with various dies I have. Lots of dies that haven’t seen love in a long time…lol!

I layered some of the flowers, adding enamel dots in various sizes to the centers of the flowers.

Every smart fairy knows they need a back door…cuz you never know when you need to sneak away…lol!!

~Copics~
Nose: E04, E11, E21, E00, E000, R20
Blues: B29, B28, B26, B24

The dies are from Impression Obsession and Magnolia DooHickeys.

I used a card base of 5″ x 5.5″ so I had room to add the snowflake border at the top. I added lots of layers and lots of die cuts. I created the ‘Snow’ part of the sentiment on my Cameo Silhouette.

Just poppin’ up to say hello

Hello my froggy friends!

This sweet image from Digi Doodle Studios is part of the Pond Life Pairables Digi Stamp Set.  The paper is from the digital set called On the Pond.

I absolutely love this adorable digi stamp set!  I had the image of a little boy stuffing frogs in his pockets and thought this card design would be perfect.

I printed these adorable little frogs on X-Press It Blending Card and colored them with the following Copic Markers.

~Copics~
Frog:  YG97, YG95, YG93, YG91, YG03, YG01, YG00, YG0000, E84
Eyes:  BV20, BG70, B000, Colorless Blender

just poppin up to say hello2

I started with an idea I found on Pinterest, but couldn’t find an SVG file that was quite what I was looking for.  I have the mindset…if there is a will, there is a way.  So…I opened up my Silhouette software and got to work creating.  I however, wasn’t prepared for the hours involved since this is the first file I created…lol

The card base is A2 size – top folding.

just poppin up to say hello1

I love, love, love the digi paper, but it was a little too dark for the frogs to stand out.  To make the paper lighter I brought it into Photoshop and changed the opacity to 60%.  This leaves all the colors the same, but just lightens it up.
