Good Morning
Today I am sharing a card made using digi stamp


I have coloured the image using copic sketch markers & teamed it with these rather fun papers from Nikky Sivils adding a few wraps of bakers twine & a really nice metal thank you sentiment. 
I do hope you enjoy my card today and don't forget to check out the store for a vast selection of rubber and digi stamps.

Lovely Tulips From Biblical Impressions

Hello Friends! 
Today I am thinking spring with this cute stamp 
from Biblical Impressions called Tulips.
I colored the image with Tombow markers. 
I am really starting to like my Tombows! 
I have had them forever and I am 
finally starting to use them!

Papers are from Bazzil 
and We are Memory Keepers.
The official stamp name is 
Tulips # 31705.
You can find it right 
Thanks for visiting today! 
Make it a great day!

Happy Anniversary!

Hi stamping friends!
Kristie here today.
Today I have an anniversary card to show you.
Our anniversary is coming soon and my husband and I love Ireland and Celtic designs, so I thought the
"Shamrock Border" (#40502) from Eureka! Stamps
would be perfect for a card for him.
The "Happy Anniversary" (#9004) also from Eureka! Stamps,
was perfect for this card.

For the green area of the card, I tore a piece of paper and laid it over the white card stock. I used green distress ink to ink over the paper.
The "Shamrock Border" was embossed with gold embossing powder onto a separate piece of card stock then adhered to the card.
The Happy Anniversary was also embossed with gold powder.

To finish the card off, I used some gold thread and wrapped it around the top of the card.
I think my husband will like this card, I hope you do too.

Thanks for stopping by today, leave a comment if you like and be sure to check out Eureka! Stamps and see what wonderful images you would like to work with.

Happiness Is Like A Butterfly

Happy Saturday! 
Today I am sharing a couple stamps from Eureka with you... The quote is 40403 Happiness Like a Butterfly and the 3D Butterfly is 29401 Butterfly Pattern. These two stamps work so well together and the 3D pattern butterfly looks so real. A quick and easy card hat turns out beautiful

Valentine Cow

If you look close at all the markings on this cow from Eureka you’ll notice they are hearts…perfect for a Valentine but it also will work for the everyday card.
I used Copic markers to color the images: cow – 100,110,C7, C2,1,0,00, R81,83, flowers - E25,27, Y35,38, grass and stems and leaves – G07,09,28
The clouds were created with a sponge and my hand cut template, here’s a direct link to a free pattern. I did a drag motion starting on the template and dragging off onto the cardstock. It’s such a quick way to add a sky to the scene.
If you look at the cow image linked below you’ll notice there are just stems in the mouth, I used a stamp positioner to aid in stamping on the blooms. I masked off the rubber image to ink up just the bloom I wanted to stamp.
I used the Perfect Layers tools from Perfect Paper Crafting to cut the even layers.
Scor-Pal was used to emboss between the outside black border and Martha Stewart punched border.
The sentiment is a digital image cut out with Stampin Up’s Word Window punch.

The border punch is from Martha Stewart.

Images: Eureka Stamps -28601 Valentine Cow, 14704(235) Flowers Border, digi13301 Be Mine

Paper: Remember When black textured, The Paper Company pink and textured white for border, Beckett Expressions Iceberg for image
Ink: Memento – Tuxedo Black, Stampin Up – Bashful Blue, computer ink
