Hello Friend!

 Hi everyone!

Stacey with you today and I'm so excited to share a card that I made using a super cute stamp set called Hello Friend Tortoise.

There are 2 cute images in the 3x4 Hello Friend Tortoise stamp set, along with 3 sentiments. 

Isn't this turtle the cutest? I thought he would be perfect on a shaped card (one of my favorite types of cards to make). This card was actually pretty easy to make also. I started by die cutting 2 scallop circles and adhering them at the top. I added a stitched circle layer that I die cut from some plaid paper to the front and then started creating my scene. I cut another stitched circle, this time from white cardstock, and stenciled some puffy clouds onto it. I added my sentiment & some grass that I cut from some green patterned paper, popping up the front layer of grass with some foam tape. Next, I stamped my turtle using some Memento tuxedo black ink and colored him with my Copic markers. Once I had him colored in, I fussy cut him out and popped him up with more foam tape. I fussy cut the butterfly and added him close to my sentiment with more foam tape. I completed my card with some die cut flowers and a die cut bow. I think this is so cute and I love having cards on hand to send just to say Hello.

Copic Colors Used:

--Turtle: YG61, G43, YG63, R20, E40, E41, E42, E43, E44--

--Butterflies: E35, E44, Y21, Y23--

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

I appreciate it so much!

I hope you have a great crafty day!

Enjoy The Little Things!

  Hi everyone!

Stacey with you today and I'm so excited to be back as a guest designer for

  Gerda Steiner Designs!!

 Today I am sharing a card that I made using an adorable stamp set called

Pool Piggies

There are 8 super fun images in the Pool Piggies stamp set, along with 1 sentiment. 

All of the little piggies are adorable, but I was drawn to this one reading his book. I love to go to the beach and get lost in a good book so he definitely called to me lol!

I started my A2 card by adding 2 different patterned papers to the front. I added a strip of yellow to help divide the patterns a little. Next, I die cut a large tag from some blue patterned paper and created a little beach scene by adding a small amount of white cardstock to act as the sea foam along with some Kraft cardstock to act as the sand. I die cut a palm tree and added that to my tag as well. Next was the really fun part! I stamped that little Pool Piggie, and his beach towel, with some Memento Tuxedo black Ink and colored them in with my Copic markers. Once I had both images colored, I did a bit of fussy cutting and added them to my tag. I stamped a sentiment from the Hello Friend Tortoise stamp set with some Black Versafine Ink, trimmed it down and added it to my tag, tucking it under the palm just a bit. I added my tag to my card front and completed the look with some yellow twine, enamel shaped shells and some white Nuvo drops. 

 I think this turned out so cute!!

Copic Colors Used:

--Piggy: E50, R30, R32--

--Swim Trunks: YG01, YG03, YR02, YR04--

--Book: E40, E41, BG000, BG01. BG02--

--Sunglasses: YG03, C4, C6--

--Towel: Y11, Y13, Y15, Y18, YG03, BG02--
