A Box Full Of Hugs And Kisses

Hello friends!  Today I'm over on the Heffy Doodle Blog sharing a fun storyboard card.

I cut a panel of white cardstock and inked it with Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Ink.  I used the Imperial Storyboard Backdrop Die to cut a frame from white cardstock.  I adhered the frame onto the inked panel with foam tape to give my card some dimension.  I stamped images from the Wrapped With Love stamp set and colored them with copics.  

I die cut the images using the Heffy Doodle Mini Die Cutting Machine and the coordinating Wrapped With Love dies.  I stamped a sentiment on the card and then adhered the images with foam tape.  I used a black gel pen on the cat and bunny eyes and the dog's nose.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a wonderful day!

 Hello friends!  Today I'm over on the Heffy Doodle Blog sharing a sweet baby card!

This adorable mouse and balloons are from the Popping By stamps.  I colored the images with copics and used a black gel pen on the mouse's eyes.  I applied Nuvo Crystal Glaze to the mouse's nose.  

I used the Stitched Hearts Background Die to cut a panel from white card stock.  I inked the panel with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink, splattered it with thinned white gouache, and adhered it to my card base.  I used the Happy New Baby Jumbo Sentiment Dies to cut the sentiment from both yellow pattern paper and white card stock.  I wanted the sentiment to have some dimension so I glued several of the white diecuts together and then glued the yellow diecut on top of the others.  I glued the jumbo sentiment to my card and then added the balloons and mouse with foam tape.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you have an amazing day!
