Tea Time Mice - CTD661

Hi there! It’s Wednesday and time for this week’s Color Throwdown Challenge where we have some cool neutral colors to create with.

For my card, I used the adorable Colorado Craft stamp set, Tea Time Fun along with the Tea Time Fun dies. These images illustrated by Anita Jeram are so fun to color! I started out by stamping and die cutting a bunch of the images from the set, then chose a few of them to color with copic markers to create my scene. Using the Outside In Stitched Rectangle dies I die cut first a white piece of card stock and then a gray gingham piece of Doodlebug paper for my background. I popped up the two mice and the sugar bowl with foam tape and added some glitter to the sugar in the spoon and bowl.

Tea Time - CTD655

Hello there! I’m popping in to share my card for this week’s Color Throwdown Challenge where the colors are pink, green and gray.

For my card I used the adorable Colorado Craft Company stamp set, Playtime which was illustrated by Anita Jeram. I stamped my image onto white card stock and used the Outside In Stitched Rectangle dies to die cut it. I colored this image using copic markers and added some roses to the teapot and cup to give it an old fashion look. For my background I used some regal rose card stock and ink along with a Plaid Stencil for a subtle background. The sentiment is from the Tea Time Fun stamp set and I added it to the upper left corner of my image.

Happily Ever After

This last weekend our family had the honor of celebrating our nieces wedding. It was a destination wedding and it was absolutely beautiful. The bride was gorgeous and the groom so handsome, everyone was happy to be a part of their special day.

The card I’m sharing today was the card I created for the newlyweds, I used the Colorado Craft Company stamp set Happily Ever After along with the Happily Ever After dies and used the colors they were using for the wedding. I love these sweet illustrations by Anita Jeram.

To create my card, I stamped the large image onto a white card stock panel and then stamped the smaller images from the set like the bride and groom, wedding cake and gift and die cut them out.

I used copic markers to color all of the images and added white iridescent glitter to the brides gown, headpiece and all of the flowers and I used yellow glitter for the champagne and confetti.

After all of my pieces were colored, I added the smaller pieces, the cake and gift and then popped up the bride and groom using foam tape. Once that was done I adhered the whole panel to a piece of blue card stock and added it to my card base. 

I also stamped the inside of the card with the sentiment from the set as well as the smaller image of the flower girl but forgot to take pictures.

Let’s Coffee Soon - CTD650

Hi there! Happy Wednesday! It’s time for this week’s Color Throwdown Challenge where we have the colors yellow, gray, black and white to create with.

Today I’m sharing another fun Colorado Craft Company slimline card that I created using the Coffee House stamp set and Coffee House dies. These were illustrated by the talented Anita Jeram and they couldn’t be cuter.

I started out by die cutting a piece of white card stock using the Small Slimline with Flaps die and using that as my base for all of my images that I stamped, die cut and colored using copic markers. These little mice are so fun to color! You can add detail to any of the images like I did here (see photo below) with the coffee cup by adding a few stripes or like I did in my last post by adding flowers to the cups. Before adhering my images to my white panel, I also add shadow lines so it doesn’t look my images are floating.

Once my images were colored, I used foam tape to pop up the two mice with the coffee grinder and the right front mouse holding up the coffee cup. I matted my white panel with more mustard card stock and adhered both pieces to a black slimline card base.

Tea Time Fun - CTD649

Hello, hello! Happy Wednesday! It’s time for this week’s Color Throwdown Challenge were we have some great new colors to create with.

Last Friday I had a fun stamping day with my friend Donna who happens to be the person who introduced me to the Colorado Craft Company stamps illustrated by Anita Jeram. I had so much fun creating the card I’m sharing today where I used the Tea Time Fun stamp set and Tea Time Fun dies. These little mice are so adorable and fun to color!

To create my card, I started out by stamping all of the images from the Tea Time Fun set and die cutting them out then colored them using copic markers. Next I used the Small Slimline with Lift the Flaps die and die cut a piece of white card stock. 

After that I arranged my images then used my Misti tool to stamp my sentiment. I used some cool gray copic markers for the shadows underneath my images then adhered each image popping up two mice and the sugar bowl. I added some iridescent glitter for the sugar and used a glaze pen on the cups of tea to make them appear wet. I attached my white stitched panel to a piece of hawaiian shores and gorgeous grape card stock.

Somebunny Loves You! - CTD638

Hello, Hello!! I’m hostess this week over at the Color Throwdown Challenge and I’ve chosen some bright cheerful colors for all of us to create with! I hope you’ll join in and play along, I’d love to see what you create.

For my card today I used a new to me stamp company called Colorado Craft Company and I used the Bunnies & Robin stamp set which is illustrated by Anita Jeram. It was hard to hold back and not order a bunch of these darling stamp sets that Anita Jeram illustrated but I decided to start out with just a few.

To create my card, I started out by using my Misti tool to stamp the large scene stamp from the set onto white card stock. I also stamped the bunnies and bird images and used the Bunnies & Robin dies to die cut them out. Next I colored all of my images using copic markers and trimmed down my background scene. On top of a white card base I added a piece of yellow check Echo Park dots & Stripes paper and a strip of Doodlebug Design blue gingham paper with an edge of scallop. I added my square image with foam tape and glued on my sentiment along the bottom. For a touch of sparkle I added some yellow Stickles glitter on a few of the flowers.
