Stampin' In Alaska

  I'm joining the current sketch challenge at My Favorite Things .  Very challenging and took me a few minutes to figure out the panels!  Lots of options with this one. My card features the new Farm-tastic Friends set and Barn Sweet Barn die-namics from MFT.  I love the smaller barn die!  I have their original barn die which is much larger.  I'm so glad that MFT released a smaller barn with this sweet set. Of course, the images were colored with alcohol markers then die cut.  Coordinating designer papers are from Doodlebug Down on the Farm paper pad.

  I'm joining the current House-Mouse and Friends challenge with a fun birthday card.  My card features a retired wood mounted House-Mouse Designs stamp called Cupcake Celebration. The image was colored with alcohol markers and layered onto papers from Doodlebug Designs Cream & Sugar papers.  A sentiment from the paper pad and enamel dots finish the card.

  I hope everyone is having a great week!  I'm joining Di's Digi Challenge with a Fun Winter card.  I recently purchased this adorable Ice Fishing Buddies image from Di's shop.  It fit the current Fun in Winter theme! The image was colored with Copic Markers and layered onto designer paper from Doodlebug designs.  A couple of felt snowflakes and rhinestones were added.  The sentiment is from a local stamp store (now out of business).

  I'm joining the current challenge at Beccy's Place with her Funny Farm digital set.   The critters in this set are SO fun!  I've used the pre-colored version for my card combined with papers from Doodlebug Designs down on the farm paper pad. I tried a new-to-me fun fold that I found on Instagram.  If you are interested in the process, I'm including the link HERE so you can see a quick video clip. This is my card when it's opened partially:  This is fully opened: It's a really fun fold AND super easy to make.  My card is a regular A2 size and folds very flat for mailing.

  Good morning!  I'm sharing a Fall coffee themed card for this week's sketch challenge at My Favorite Things.  My mini slimline card features the adorable Sweater Weather in the Woods set. The cute critters were colored with Tombow markers and die cut.  Coordinating papers are from Doodlebug Pumpkin Spice paper pad. Although I'm in denial, Fall is certainly in the air in Alaska.  We saw our first snow this week on the mountain tops!   I would like to share my card with the following: My Favorite Things Sketch Challenge #559 Word Art Wednesday Challenge:  Wk #509 - 510 Anything Goes Polkadoodles Challenge:  Wk 37 Anything Goes   Cutie Pie Challenge #163 10th Birthday Challenge Cute Celebrations Colour Crazy Craft Challenge:  #37 Anything Goes    

  I'm joining the June challenge at Beccy's Place using her fun freebie Birthday Stanley .  The birthday cupcake was so much fun to color!   I used my favorite bright colors using alcohol ink markers.  Stickles were applied to the flames and "sprinkles" were created with 3D liquid paint. I created my card using the top row of the optional bingo grid. The digital image was layered onto older papers in my stash from Doodlebug Take Note paper pad.  I used my favorite "Bright" colors and Beccy's freebie digital image.

I'm joining the current Art Impressions challenge with the AI Pand-tastic Set .  This is my first time to ink up the set and I love it!  So many adorable panda images and coordinating sentiments.

I'm so excited to join the first Stay Crafty with Hero Arts challenge.  Their first challenge is about encouragement.  Who wouldn't be encouraged with this yummy cuppa latte!!  I started by stamping the coffee cup and foam from the August 2018 Hero Arts Kit. The images were colored with Copic Markers and fussy cut.  I wanted the card to be bright and cheerful so I pulled out Doodlebug Designs Cream & Sugar paper pad for the panels.  Of course, I finished with a few gems and a coordinating sentiment. The card design was inspired by one of the current Mojo Monday sketches.

I'm joining the current challenge at Di's Digi Designs with this adorable digital called Ruff You from Di's store.  The image was colored with Copic and Azure markers then fussy cut.  Charcoal pencil was blended for highlighting and Stickles applied to the flower center. A birthday sentiment from Stampin' Up! and a few enamel dots finish the card.  Bright, cheerful papers from Doodlebug Design Hello Sunshine were the perfect background.  The design inspiration came from the current Mojo Monday sketch.  I would like to share my card with the following: Di's Digi Design Challenge:  Use a Digi Image   Simon Says Wednesday Challenge:  Anything Goes Cute Card Thursday Challenge:  #623 Spring Fever!

I hope everyone is having a great weekend!  I'm stopping by to share a sweet Spring card for the Monthly Challenge hosted by Gerda Steiner .  This month's image is called Spring Bunny Friends.   You still have time to join the fun!   My card started by merging the image with Gerda Steiner's Tulip Bunny image to create my Spring scene.   The clouds and grass were sponged with Memento inks.  The scene was colored with Copic Markers and white gel pen highlights were added.   I pulled out my Hello Sunshine paper pad by Doodlebug for the coordinating Spring designer papers.  I love how these papers really made the Bunny scene pop! The card was finished simply with a grosgrain ribbon bow. Thanks for stopping by and taking a closer look!
