Card Art with Copics: Crafts and Me Stamps A Princess is Born by Hannah Lynn

This beautiful, recently released, digital image is named A Princess Is Born and is designed by artist Hannah Lynn for Crafts and Me Stamps.

Here's a closer view of my Copic-filled image.

I've layered butterfly and flower patterned papers from a Making Memories Flower Patch paper pack with cardstock.  My image rests on a Spellbinders Circle inside of a Labels Three frame.  Notice how her legs extend "beyond the edge" of the die cut circle so I used the "Beyond the Edge" technique when die cutting her.  A bit of Martha Stewart's Deep Edge Punch Garden Trellis borders the center of my card.  My sentiment is from an older Stampin' Up! Circle of Friends set.  I had some handmade Asters, Daisies and Blossoms remaining from a previous card that coordinate with this card's colors and make a nice flower cluster for this card too.  My flowers are resting on top of a Memory Box Elegant Scrollwork die cut and swirls of Prima crystals.

Here's a view of my card front:

This view shows the inside of my card.  I've used a sentiment from a Hero Arts Huge Hugs set.

This photo shows my completed easel card where I've used Hannah Lynn's A Princess Is Born digital stamp . . .

Elisabeth Bell's World Challenge: Shabby Chic/Distressing (with A Warm Fuzzy Hug)

The Digi Bells design team over at the Elisabeth Bell's World Challenge Blog wants to see your Shabby Chic/Distressing using lots of whites.  A randomly selected entry will win TWO Elisabeth Bell digi images of their choice AND KaiserCraft paper blooms from Little Darlings Rubberstamps.  You can find out more about this challenge and sponsors here.  I'm happy to participate in this challenge as a Guest Designer.

I've created a vintage-looking card using this beautiful A Warm Fuzzy Hug rubberstamped image designed by Elisabeth Bell for Sweet Pea Stamps.  You can find her at the Sweet Pea Stamps online store here.  Teresa at Crafts and Me Stamps in the UK carries a wonderful selection of Sweet Pea Stamps so if you're in the UK, you can also find this sweet image here.  This pic shows a closer view of my Copic-filled image.

I cut layers of Bazzill cardstock and a dictionary paper and began distressing it.  Just a swipe through my Zutter Distrezz-it-All and the edges were ready for inking.  I tore shreds through the inside area of one sheet then rolled the shreds to create a frame for my image.  I used the Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher to hold my rolled frame in place.  I crumbled the paper then laid it flat again to ink the creases.  Now it looks pretty distressed to me: torn, worn, tattered, stained and wrinkled.  Bits of lace act as patches behind the tears in the edges.

A strip of beige seam binding borders the left side of my image.  Handmade vintage roses adorn the base of my card front while a few aged butterflies, with pearly bodies, flutter around.  These roses are made using All Night Media medium and small blossom punches:  four of each size per rose.  The layers are held together with a brad in the center.  A few mists of water, some arranging of the damp petals before drying with a heat gun and they're ready.  I've adhered the roses to a Martha Stewart punched rose leaf.  The Cats Pajamas "Hey Friend" stamped sentiment fits snugly on the front, holding a mini paper clip with a dangling vintage trinket.

The friendship sentiment on the inside of the card is from Art Gone Wild!  Look closely at the Tim Holtz film strip ribbon and you'll see eight different miniature Elisabeth Bell digi images that I reduced to fit into the film strip.

Here's a closer view of that film strip . . .

This photo shows my completed shabby chic/distressed easel card where I've used Sweet Pea Stamps' A Warm Fuzzy Hug rubberstamped image as designed by Elisabeth Bell . . .

Crafts and Me Stamps Challenge: Airy Spring Colors

The digi design team over at the Crafts and Me Stamps challenge blog wants to see your Light Airy Spring Colours.  Crafts and Me Stamps is sponsoring this challenge and offering THREE digi images of the winner's choice to a randomly selected entry.  You can find out more about this challenge and the sponsor here.

I've used a recently released digi image named July, designed by Sara Burrier, exclusively for Crafts and Me Stamps.

Here's a closer view of my Copic-filled image . . .

It makes me happy when I'm able to create handmade flowers that coordinate perfectly with my project.  I've used punched cosmos, suns and leaves to create my Asters.  Punched daisies and leaves with a pearl center form my layered daisies.  A few blossom punches with an ash leaf are shining with their rhinestone centers.  All are painted with a layer of Diamond Stickles glitter glue for extra sparkle.  Here's a closer view of one of my flower clusters . . .

Bits of Making Memories Flower Patch papers are layered with Bazzill cardstock to form my easel card.  A Spellbinders Lattice Rectangle frames my image.  Use of a corner rounder on my image and sentiment soften the corners nicely.  A strip of Wright's Creative Classics 1/2" nylon lace adds an airy touch.  Hot Off the Press pastel butterfly brads adorn two corners.  My stamped Happy Birthday message is from a Close To My Heart From Me to You set.  Here's a closer view of my card front . . .

A sentiment from a Hero Arts Just Find Me set seems appropriate for the inside of my card.  I've also used a QuicKutz scalloped photo corner and shooting star.  A few Creative Impressions Bits of Bling White Pearls adds to the softness of my card.  Here's a closer view of the inside of my card . . .

This view shows my completed easel card where I showcase my use of the Crafts and Me Stamps digital image named July by Sara Burrier . . .

Card Art with Copics: Elisabeth Bell's Eden's 2nd Christmas

This sweet little toddler simply can not resist the temptation to touch the shiny, sparkling ornament of her family's Christmas tree.  This digital image, designed by Elisabeth Bell, is named Eden's 2nd Christmas.  You can find her at the Elisabeth Bell Digital Gallery here.

Here's a closer view of my Copic-filled image:

My flower clusters consist of handmade flowers made from EK Success 6-petal medium and small daisy punches with a Creative Impressions Bits of Bling White Pearl placed inside of each.  They're also painted with Diamond Stickles for extra sparkle.  The McGill pine branch adds some dimension.  I've twisted my Jenni Bowlin Superior Cream Stick Pin to create a ring to hold my Dove of the East Angel charm at the center of my 1/4" Wrights Creative Classics lace bow.  Simple to punch, then pinch each petal, these flowers look beautiful and full when layered.  Here's a closer view of one of my flower clusters . . .

Graphic45's Christmas Past Collection "We Wish You a Merry Christmas," Basic Grey Wassail "Merry Happy" and American Traditional Designs Holiday Cheer-Earthtones "Christmas Cookies," layered with cardstock form my easel card.  I've die cut my image using the Letterpress Large Circles set and layered the circles on top of Letterpress Nesting Doily Circles.

I've included a few Martha Stewart and EK Success Paper Shapers butterflies on the front and inside of my card.  They're all lined with pearls over their bodies and their wings are painted with Diamond Stickles for added shine.  A Basic Grey green button sits on each side of my flower cluster.  An Outlines Rubberstamp sentiment adorns my card front while a Hero Arts "Wishing You Peace" sentiment takes center stage on the inside of my card.

Here's my completed easel card showing my use of Elisabeth Bell's Eden's 2nd Christmas digital image . . .

I've used Lil' Lil's on a gatefold card.  Cardstock layered with a piece of Colorbok Thomas Kinkade Painter of Light patterned paper provides a watercolor-look background.  A QuicKutz photo corner and a flower cluster accent the left side of my card while a strip of pearls adorns the right side.  A Hero Arts sentiment lies near my image.

I've placed Mary Lou Sweet Tooth Fairy on an easel card.  A combination of Karen Foster Design's Scissors and Stripes and Tooth Fairy Collage are layered with cardstock.  Letterpress large circles and large scallop circles make shaping my image and matting a breeze.  A bit of Marvy White Liquid Applique over the toothbrush bristles appears as toothpaste.  Just Rite's "Just Keep Calm" set provides appropriate text.  A scissors charm dangles from my flower cluster on the front while buttons tied with twine keep my easel card open.  A bit of lace and Anna Griffin butterflies hide among my mixed flower clusters where pearls act as flower centers.  My Mind's Eye twine is tied to mini clips near my image and sentiment shapes.

Card Art with Copics: Crafts and Me Stamps Fairy with Dried Flowers by Jasmine Becket-Griffith

I'm happy to participate in this fortnight's Creative Craft photo inspiration challenge as a guest designer.  It's an honor to have one of my entries selected by such talented artists as one of their Top 3 and be invited to submit a creation to be displayed along with their design team projects.  Many thanks to Sandra and the rest of the CCC design team!  (You can find out more about this Creative Craft photo inspiration challenge and their sponsor here.)

This sweet fantasy rubberstamped image is named Fairy with Dried Flowers and is designed by artist Jasmine Becket-Griffith for Crafts and Me Stamps.  Nearly all of Ms. Becket-Griffith's easily recognizable images are created as caricatures of herself.

Here's a closer view of my Copic-filled Fairy with Dried Flowers image.  Flower Soft in handmixed greens with fuchsia and bright pink add some dimension to her dried flower garland.

I've layered Die Cuts With a View (DCWV) Glittered All Dressed Up glamorous prints in dots and stripes with cranberry, pink and black cardstock.  My image rests on a Spellbinders Heart Squares frame.  A touch of Offray 1/8" pink ribbon wraps around the center of my card and adds a double bow to my flower cluster.  Home Pro metal corners and Spellbinders butterflies, coated with Rock Candy Distress Stickles and Diamond Stickles surround my image.  My sentiment is from Outlines Rubberstamps.

My flower cluster consists of a medley of Prima Gillian Raspberry, Fairytale Roses Baby Pink, Pixie Tin Chloe, Petaloo Dazzlers Small Florettes, a pom-pom flower and punched Paper Shaper oak leaves.

Card Art with Copics: Crafts and Me Forest Guardian by Sara Burrier

This magnificent and quite powerful digital image named Forest Guardian was created by Sara Burrier and is available exclusively through Crafts and Me Stamps (here).  I found myself drawn to the detail of this incredibly beautiful image and expect that its symbolism can spiritually touch anyone who's experienced a broken heart from the loss of a loved one through a broken relationship or death.  It can also affect environmentalists who seek to protect wildlife from building development.  To see how the Forest Guardian envelops this devastated young lady, holding pieces of her shattered heart, within his majestic, angelic wings provides such comfort and hope.

Here's a closer view of my Copic-filled Forest Guardian image . . .

I've sized my Forest Fairy digi paper (find it here), sheet 26, to 5.75" and printed it onto textured white cardstock.  I've layered it with coordinating black and fuchsia cardstock.  A Satin Sensations 5/8" fuchsia ribbon, topped with black cotton lace, creates a bottom border.

I adhered black cardstock to grungeboard then die cut the Sizzix Tim Holtz tree branch to add some dimension to my card front.  I used a Tim Holtz hitch fastener and charm clip to hang my bird charm from the branch.

A My Mind's Eye Dolled Up "Day" button and "Cute" twine are centered in my flower cluster.  A Rubberstamp Tapestry sentiment is surrounded by some Creative Impressions Small Tropical Iridescent Blossoms, Doodlebug Design boutique bubblegum brads, a couple of airbrushed paper roses, as well as Prima flowers, heirloom paper leaves pecan and a gillian raspberry flower.

I included a die cut silhouette of a buck and fawn from the Memory Box Deer Trio and a QuicKutz bunny to include the animals of the forest expressing their concern too.

Crafts and Me Stamps Challenge: Things with Wings

The digi design team over at the Crafts and Me Stamps challenge blog wants to see your Things with Wings.  Crafts and Me Stamps is sponsoring this challenge and offering THREE digi images as a prize to the randomly selected winner.  You can find out more about this challenge and sponsor here.

Teresa has recently released two new lines of digital papers.  I resized sheet 3 from the new Forest Fairy 12x12 range to 5.75" square then printed it onto white textured cardstock.  At first glance through the digi papers, they appear to be super bold and bright.  When printed, these gorgeous papers have a more subtle, realistic tone.

I used the newly released digi image named June by Sara Burrier.  Here's a view of my Copic-filled June . . .

I've layered my digi paper with Bazzill and Close To My Heart cardstock and added white faux stitching around one edge.  My image is matted onto a Spellbinders Nestabilities Fleur De Lis Rectangle.  I've added a sentiment from the Crafty Secrets Little Dancer small set and accented it with a QuicKutz photo corner.  A Prima Cottage Blossom Orchid and Recollections Mulberry Paper Mini Roses complete my flower cluster with a Satin Sensations Bridal White 5/8" ribbon bow.

Card Art with Copics: Elisabeth Bell's My Prince

This lovely little princess proudly wears her jeweled crown as she kisses a frog that could very well be her prince charming.  This digital image, designed by Elisabeth Bell, is named My Prince.  You can find her at the Elisabeth Bell Digital Gallery here.

Here's a closer view of my Copic-filled image:

I've die cut my image using Memory Box' Debutante Frame then added the swirly Vaudeville Frame.  A cluster of Prima Sugar Plum Roses Banana, Recollections Mulberry Paper Mini Roses, Petaloo Dazzlers Florettes and McGill fern punches adorn the lower portion of my card.  It's connected to a Sizzlits crescent tag stamped with a sentiment from a Just Rite Cling Elizabeth O. Dulemba Adorable Dragon set.  A QuicKutz frog and crown topped with several K&Co Peppermint Twist adhesive rhinestones completes my lower border.

Here's a closer look at my bottom border . . .

My Mind's Eye State of the Heart 2010 "Full of Love" paper is layered with Kraft paper and Bazzill cardstock.  A My Mind's Eye Stella and Rose Mabel "Little Lady" lace trim lines the left side of my image.  QuicKutz mini bugs dragonflies flutter around the image.

Card Art with Copics: Sweet Pea Stamps Be My Valentine by Elisabeth Bell

This sweet little guy is happy to share his handmade heart with someone he cares for.  Sweet Pea Stamps recently released this rubberstamped image, named Be My Valentine, designed by Elisabeth Bell.  You can find him at the Sweet Pea Stamps' online store here.

I've layered some older My Mind's Eye Abby Road Stomp "Brothers" Caveman Stripes double sided paper with Bazill green, seafoam and burnt orange cardstock.  The sentiment stamped into the heart is from the Crafty Secrets Home Sweet Home set.

Here's a view of my Copic-filled image . . .

An EK Success Paper Shapers Photo Corner Scallop punch finishes two corners.  A cluster of Hero Arts Card Buttons in Summer, tied with twine, adorn one corner while a green seam binding bow embellishes the other corner.

This photo shows my completed card front where I've used Sweet Pea Stamps' Be My Valentine image, designed by Elisabeth Bell . . .

This little guy makes a wonderful Valentine card but why not use him for friendship, birthdays, Mother's Day, Father's Day and other occasions.  The heart is left blank and other words or images can fit inside.
