Power Poppy Happpiest Holiday 2017 Blog Hop

Today’s the day… the day you can order up all those amazing holiday stamps so you can be creating some amazing Christmas creations for your friends and family.  We’re so excited that we’re all sharing one last project using the Happiest Holidays 2017 collection from Power Poppy!

Today I chose to incorporate a number of the new stamp sets in one little ol’ card.  I started with making my own patterned paper using some the fun knit elements from the “Snow Kissed” stamp set.  Then I stamped out my greeting from the “Glitter House Village” collection and then I added a popped up tree in a cloche from our “Under Glass: Christmas Traditions”.


Copics: BG000, BG02, BG53, YG01, YG03, YG25, YG17, Y000, Y08, Y15, Y17, R35, R37

Power Poppy: Winter Wonderland

Happy Monday!  I hope you had an amazingly creative weekend. Today is final day of Power Poppy’s newest Happiest Holiday 2017 release.

Today’s stamp set features a beautiful holiday bouquet of Poinsettia, Poppies, Pepperberries and Dusty Miller.  It’s truly magnificent!

Power Poppy: Tweet Tidings

I hope you’re having a great weekend everyone!  Today is Day 7 of Power Poppy’s newest and most fabulous Happiest Holiday 2017 release.

Today’s stamp set showcases the sweetest little chickadees. If you loved our digital “Chickadee in Barberry” stamp then you’ll love our fabulous clear stamp set!

Introducing… Tweet Tidings

For my card I wanted to share that sweet single Chickadee.  These little birds remind me of my childhood as my Dad built these cool bird feeders and we put them outside the living room window and we’d have all the little birds including Chickadees come and visit for a snack in the winter.  So dear to my heart…

For my card to day I wanted to add some colour to not only the flowers in his beard but a little colour to his actual beard.  If you look closely, I have incorporated some pinks, purples and greens right into some of those curls.
Sorry I don’t have a Copic Marker list for you as I was colouring this cheery fella on the go at the time!

It wouldn't be a holiday card without some kind of sparkle on it...

Monster Madness!

Last night I was up creating a couple of fun Halloween cards to send out.  Typically I don't send out Halloween cards but I couldn't resist the cute "Monster Mash" stamp set from SugarPea Designs.

I made this card for the MFT WCMD challenge #3; By the Numbers. For the challenge, you had to use a number of some kind on your card.  This was the only thing I could find that was number related!!!  LOL!


I also created this card for the SugarPea Designs "Mix It Up Challenge #36";  I was inspired by the purple and the theme of Halloween.



My second card is also another Halloween creation.  I tell ya... those little monsters are just too adorable and fun to color!

I made this card for the 4th MFT challenge: Make & Mail.  The challenge asked us to create a card and mail it... yup, as simple as that!  I made a matching envelope to send it out right away!


I used the fun "SugarCut - SpookyScape" die to create a fun back ground for those little monsters for this card.

I hope you've had a blast creating this weekend.  Happy Turkey Day to all my Canadian friends and family today!

Rainbow Hippo Wishes!

Yes... another post about World Card Making Day!  But seriously, I've had some major creative mojo in the last few days so I've been taking complete advantage of it!

This card is for the CHALLENGE #1 for My Favorite Things.  Their first challenge was all about the ROYGBIV!  Yup... rainbows!



So I first created my back ground using the "Die-namics Chevron Segments Cover-Up" die cut form white cardstock.  I used my Copic air brush system and coloured in my background and then cut a black cardstock border.  Then I used the "Die-namics A2 Stitched Rectangles STAX Set 1" die to create a larger mat plus some fun vellum clouds form the "Die-namics Stitched Cloud Edges" die and a row of "Die-namics Grassy Edges" inside the frame.

To finish it off, I stamped, coloured and cut out the fat little hippo and the little birdies from the "BB Happy Hippos" stamp collection.  Too cute right???

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you too are having a creative weekend!

Birthday Otters

Today, My Favorite Things is also celebrating World Card Making Day of course with a few challenges.

Challenge #2:  One of their challenges is all about using lots of dies.  So I pulled out some fun MFT dies to use for my next card today.

I just adore the little otters in the "BB Otterly Love You" stamp set!  Not only is this a SHAKER card but those 2 little otters actually rotate around the card's sentiment!  YUPPERS... it's truly an interactive card!

Dies that I used for this card include:
