Next to Christmas cards, Easter is the next big card holiday for me. After a long hard winter, spring Easter cards are so much fun to make. They're hopeful and cheerful. It always makes me feel lighter when I make Easter and spring cards.<p></p><p style="text-align: center;">I made this card using an .svg pattern from Cricut Design Space. The image is called Happy Easter #M1479296E. This image is already a great card front but it is made even more awesome with brads and pearl bling from the store. It's so quick and easy to make a card go from good to great with help from Eyelet Outlet.</p><div><div style="text-align: center;"><u>SHOPPING LIST:</u></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.eyeletoutlet.com/rabbit-brads-pastel.html">Rabbits Brads - Pastel</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.eyeletoutlet.com/color-egg-brads.html">Colored Egg Brads</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.eyeletoutlet.com/dragonfly-brads.html">Dragonfly Brads</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.eyeletoutlet.com/pearl-bling2.html">Multi Pearls - Black, Purple, Blue, Pink and Green</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Thanks for stopping by today.

It's Janet here with a bright and colorful card. This one has a background of washi tape in many styles and colors. Check out the shopping list for your favorite patterns. I decided to heat emboss a white diamond pattern over the entire panel and to my delight, it worked very well. I will say the panel initially warped from the heat but I applied an adhesive sheet behind the panel and attached to another piece of cardstock. This controlled the warping perfectly. </p><p style="text-align: center;">On top of this card, I added a fun die cut and strip sentiment. I couldn't help but add a unicorn and rainbow from the Unicorn & Rainbow Brads.</p><div><div style="text-align: center;">SHOPPING LIST:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.eyeletoutlet.com/unicorn-rainbow-brads.html"></a><a href="https://www.eyeletoutlet.com/unicorn-rainbow-brads.html">Unicorn & Rainbow Brads</a></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.eyeletoutlet.com/stripe-wash-tape.html">Striped Washi Tape</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.eyeletoutlet.com/checked-washi-tape2.html">Checked Washi Tape - Pink</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.eyeletoutlet.com/macaron-washi-tape.html">Macaron Washi Tape</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.eyeletoutlet.com/color-wheel-washi-tape.html">Color Wheel Washi Tape</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.eyeletoutlet.com/zigzag-washi-tape.html">Zig Zag Washi Tape - Pink/Green</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.eyeletoutlet.com/people-washi-tape.html">People United Washi Tape</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Thanks much for stopping by.

I used a swirled background stamp from Hero Arts called Circle Pattern Bold Print It's the perfect casual backdrop for the adorable koalas in this set. </div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;">In the first card, I colored two of the koala images and used the included dies to cut them out. I cut out the stamped and inked panel with the largest Ai Rounded Rectangle Double Stitched Die. Then I used a cover plate die from Lawn Fawn called Polka Heart Backdrop to cut out the tiny hearts. Behind the panel, I placed blue cardstock creating a confetti of blue hearts in the background. Then I arranged the two koalas and several hearts as well as the two sentiments on the panel. The finished piece was then glued on the card base. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhq5HgvE0ijPPlZ2h2mU6Ilx-rHODoWvNGK6lrRU_7Wy4WXoAZBVCdia_dzHMlY19Ykj2lLzjFKqv2bom8pkUqV0pmNT4owZQFnIk2WY5u1nIfyqHVEIGvkuvZGTmFdYKEieC8rmeX6LF0d4oZGV0_8S7yS3laqfZqVgA0eCW9k1_Ygiqhq5ZGMD8NKWA=s900" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="899" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhq5HgvE0ijPPlZ2h2mU6Ilx-rHODoWvNGK6lrRU_7Wy4WXoAZBVCdia_dzHMlY19Ykj2lLzjFKqv2bom8pkUqV0pmNT4owZQFnIk2WY5u1nIfyqHVEIGvkuvZGTmFdYKEieC8rmeX6LF0d4oZGV0_8S7yS3laqfZqVgA0eCW9k1_Ygiqhq5ZGMD8NKWA=w640-h640" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">My second card uses one of the two large koala images from the set.

I'm here today to show off my first spring/Easter card of 2022! Valentine's Day marks the beginning of the spring season and I am totally ready for it. How about you?</div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;">This card features a cute little spring bunny image. What makes this card special are the fun brads and washi tapes from the store. It's so easy and fast to create a scene using washi tapes. The egg and polka dot stripes are washi tapes. The grass the bunny is tucked into is also washi.

Today I'm celebrating by showing off two of the four adorable animals in the Loveable Animals set from Art Impressions. I usually prefer to use Copic markers for coloring but this time I decided to pull out my pencils and give it a whirl. One of the fun features of this set is that there are several items that you can color and put in the hands of the critters. I decided to give the fox a heart. The dies are all included in this set including the heart. I used my white Gelly Roll pen to draw stitch marks and the XOXO letters. I gave the cat a flower to hold.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhGMXjrJBLSngAMoVDkv82agrjL92gcNyZif8a6apgEzxJ6Grwc_J-bksbILg8qYknDagFAX60HEVhRI07fyXlk6o4sMy1vasqZkVJNdZh4zkLlsnrpbyYs_JiJoHa0WLoS4-yljLos5H7x5dC7_mkMZYyThyBjiKoXG6fPX_wRaXwUsmgVG3geRD1ldw=s900" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhGMXjrJBLSngAMoVDkv82agrjL92gcNyZif8a6apgEzxJ6Grwc_J-bksbILg8qYknDagFAX60HEVhRI07fyXlk6o4sMy1vasqZkVJNdZh4zkLlsnrpbyYs_JiJoHa0WLoS4-yljLos5H7x5dC7_mkMZYyThyBjiKoXG6fPX_wRaXwUsmgVG3geRD1ldw=w640-h640" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div>These cards are small measuring 4 1/4" x 3" when folded.

I used the heart die again to cut one pink glitter heart for each card. Just like that, I had two cute little cards for Valentine's Day!</div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Thanks for stopping by today.

This card was made with several fun products from the <a href="http://www.Eyeletoutlet.com">Eyelet Outlet Store</a>. <p></p><p style="text-align: center;">This is a gatefold card, meaning that a flap folds from the left side and the right so that they meet in the middle of the card front. I made a matching panel to put on top. Only the left side is glued to the left flap so that it opens with ease.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Once the card base was constructed, I placed a border of Dog Washi Tape across the top and the bottom of the flaps. Before I glued the center patterned cardstock on to the brown mat, I applied the Live and Woof stickers. I cut the O out of the Love sticker and used a Paw brad instead. I added the dog house from the Kennel Mix brad set and the tallest of the dogs from the Puppy brad set. The cool thing about this set is that it matches the dog washi tape so well! The final touch was Gold Glitter Enamel Dots.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Once completed, I glued the center panel on the brown mat. This way the back side with the brad's prongs are covered with cardstock. Then I glued the left side of the finished center panel to the left flap. This is a quick way to utilize stickers to make a quick but cute card. I picked up the sticker set at the Dollar Tree so it was inexpensive as well as perfect for this card. </p><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u>SHOPPING LIST:</u></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.eyeletoutlet.com/dogset.html">Kennel Mix Brad Set</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.eyeletoutlet.com/puppy-brads.html">Puppy Brad Set</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.eyeletoutlet.com/paw-brads.html">Paw Brad Set</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.eyeletoutlet.com/dog-tape.html">Dog Washi Tape</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.eyeletoutlet.com/glitter-emamel.html">Gold Glitter Enamel Dots</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Thanks for stopping by today.

Mine is 6 1/4" x 3 1/2" when folded shut. I made the card base out of Basis White cardstock. This is my go-to choice lately for bases because it's 80# and is nice and sturdy even when you put a lot of weight on the card front. All Basis cardstocks are 80# so with the wide range of colors available, I can make a base that will go with any color scheme. </p><p><!--wp:paragraph-->

I cut a 6" x 3 1/4" rectangle out of Pop Tone Blue Raspberry cardstock Salty Ocean Oxide ink was used in combination with the Lawn Fawn Cloudy stencil to create the sky background. On top of that I made two layers of grass. the spikey grass was cut out of Basis Golden Green with the Lawn Fawn Grassy Hillside Borders Dies. The hill was cut from Pop Tone Gumdrop Green with the Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Borders. These two border sets work together well since the shape of the two sets match each other. This is how I was able to get a spikey grass border to match perfectly with the hillside.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgf0VgHsMIduU-jyVIiOg3sbrIXG2JsQL-649JY_t4B3EZ7pJjtC6EgInwjvhDHd4gPAZkZan74Um8Stv8cVFElX2Mt70nM96I9DljRE0ADsluPPwn2n5LRs6FzziaUImPYNdQ3Iit2ZPqmzyn4Vu-JkCj0y24vjP-R9qI0pLJaz9zy5Hw6MUlTBvlr=s900" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgf0VgHsMIduU-jyVIiOg3sbrIXG2JsQL-649JY_t4B3EZ7pJjtC6EgInwjvhDHd4gPAZkZan74Um8Stv8cVFElX2Mt70nM96I9DljRE0ADsluPPwn2n5LRs6FzziaUImPYNdQ3Iit2ZPqmzyn4Vu-JkCj0y24vjP-R9qI0pLJaz9zy5Hw6MUlTBvlr=w640-h640" width="640" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;">After the pieces were cut, I arranged them on the Blue Raspberry panel.

Today I have a slimline card that combines several unrelated Ai sets to create a fun interactive birthday card. This card was made with the 5463-Slimline Dies Set, 5407-Birthday Cake Gift Card Holder Set, 4972-Owl Flutter Set and 5133-Flag Double Stitched Dies. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;">The card base measures 8 1/2" by 3 1/2" when folded. On top of the base, I placed a matching cardstock piece cut with a Slimline Die. The next sized die in the set was used to cut the gray marbled mat. I placed the three layers of cake from the Birthday Cake GCH on the gray mat and then stamped, colored and cut out the adorable little owl from the Owl Flutter set on marker paper. I also cut a long pull tab out of rose gold metallic cardstock. I followed the easy Flutter Owl package directions to assemble the winged mechanism and tab and install it under the gray mat. Once done, I glued the gray base on top of the green matt being careful not to glue on or too closely around areas that move. Then I trimmed the tab to the right length and stamped it with a Pull Here stamp from my stash. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiTZY9fi5vT5JJVMEyvjgH4vRcSt893wcc9rlSING-pwIeKVva9Ge8VMoqU0nmie5-pM-lTb00QI-WaF-Cc74b0AyUarUph6vQg9lKONkzx85CAeAwQLHmR4B1-fyFqpRNFsoG-FmeluhSH7o7FU2KrpE9JH596mlonrNsFLCnQpEoelHusRO4A7Y8WTA=s900" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiTZY9fi5vT5JJVMEyvjgH4vRcSt893wcc9rlSING-pwIeKVva9Ge8VMoqU0nmie5-pM-lTb00QI-WaF-Cc74b0AyUarUph6vQg9lKONkzx85CAeAwQLHmR4B1-fyFqpRNFsoG-FmeluhSH7o7FU2KrpE9JH596mlonrNsFLCnQpEoelHusRO4A7Y8WTA=w640-h640" width="640" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;">The finishing touches were to stamp the sentiment from the Owl Flutter Set and cut it out with a flag from the Flag Double Stitched Dies set. I also cut three balloons with dies from my stash and arranged all the extra pieces on the card. </p><p style="text-align: center;">Once complete, pulling and pushing the tab causes the owl's wings to move up and down. I really like how this looks like the owl is landing on top of the cake to wish the birthday recipient. "owl the best!"</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://artimpressionsstamps.blogspot.com/2022/01/shimmy-shake-challenge-319-week-2.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1253" data-original-width="1574" height="255" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiJIuCu3Z1WaNEH8a-IEx-CU8pk-0VrLCvbK-KEQbvIQgVQphCFVV6lsJSHZA63ibTcv1U_Q3ZftGXDtB8-iO9tz4iWztA6eP2-Cb6fRtF92VT9A-ibxuEQfIgnpSGT1fblm-frzm3atE29-ZhoOj8LEu33lQEvr5vJ_LqQCquo9LKTrHOZBwgd1pVc=s320" width="320" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;">Thanks for stopping by today.

The file is from Lori Whitlock and can be found here: </span>Happy Birthday Pop Up Drawer Box<span style="text-align: left;">. I used my Cameo 4 to cut this but you can use any cutter that can handle an .svg file format.</span></p>

<p style="text-align: center;">When shut, this box is attractive but unassuming. No one will suspect such a fun pop up feature is inside when opened.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">I cut the sleeve and the drawer out of Basis White cardstock. The 80# weight is absolutely perfect to hold the shape needed for this project. I used Basis Dark Purple cardstock for the sentiment and box trim. Behind the sentiment is a mat of Curious Metallic White Silver. The cake is trimmed with Basis Lt. Yellow cardstock. The candles are made from stacking trimmed Stardream Metallic Jupiter cardstock candles on top of a Basis Lt. Yellow candles. This is the easiest way to get a yellow flame and a red candle. Even those the candles are little, it's not hard to do this. </p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p style="text-align: center;">Inside the drawer there is an accordion folded piece that creates three peaks. It's glued in the drawer and the cake and balloons are mounted inside with recycled clear plastic packaging. All the balloons inside and out are made with Curious Metallic Iceberg, Stardream Metallic Lagoon and Rose Quartz. </p>

Today I'm here with a fun masculine card featuring Eyelet Outlet brads and washi tape. I've used many different washi tapes on this card. It all works together to create a happy birthday tool man theme.</p><p></p><p style="text-align: center;">I've also added tool brads to this card. I think the wrench and hammer is perfect for this man. These are from the Tools brad set. The hand saw is from the Saw brad set. Green, orange and white pearls add just a little bit of bling. This may be a man's card but I still think the pearls add the right touch.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhTRRVeLYsyfaGBFtZPTulIrwLNrIC9sEz9qfbgc_lrcvJmqm8W_qUjC7wSolv1o_ldA_U0UMoZYV3C2K-EwSeh0Xdd9MdB0nCdgZfmVK6qjjIIPgWj398NK-4_rmDWDoJvUomKIjFdDhPtA6PViZOJK-52MdZlJCIwYxbardoF574QNS0_s3JlMCyXMg=s900" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhTRRVeLYsyfaGBFtZPTulIrwLNrIC9sEz9qfbgc_lrcvJmqm8W_qUjC7wSolv1o_ldA_U0UMoZYV3C2K-EwSeh0Xdd9MdB0nCdgZfmVK6qjjIIPgWj398NK-4_rmDWDoJvUomKIjFdDhPtA6PViZOJK-52MdZlJCIwYxbardoF574QNS0_s3JlMCyXMg=w400-h400" width="400" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;">This card is for my husband who it a real tool man.

Like a lot of crafters, I've been working on Valentine cards and today I'm bringing you some cute children's valentines made with the 6 freebie stamps that were released with the second 2021 new releases from Art Impressions.</div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;">I stamped these cuties and colored them with Copic markers. Then they were fussy cut and arranged on hearts that form an off the edge valentine. The white cards and the patterned card base were cut with the <a href="https://www.artimpressions.com/shop/rectangle-a2-double-stitched-dies-5063/">Rectangle A2 Double Stitched Dies</a>. These fit into A2 envelopes and have blank white cardstock on the back where any message can be written. </p><p style="text-align: center;">I think grade school kids would love these for their friends. I get a chuckle out of the punny sentiments that go with each animal. I made the sentiment cards using Microsoft Word.</p><p style="text-align: center;">I know a lot of you have some or all of the freebies. I have made a video that shows how I made these. If you are curious what colors I used and see how I colored each of them, click the thumbnail.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Thanks for stopping by today. Ai has many adorable stamps to use and I hope you are having fun making your valentines!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Happy Creating!</span></b></div><p><b style="text-align: center;"></b></p><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Janet </b>- <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/SugarShineDesigns">YouTube</a> - <a href="http://sugarshinedesigns.blogspot.com/">Blog</a> - <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SugarShineDesigns">Facebook</a> - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sugarshinedesigns">Instagram</a> - <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/jaxtman01">Pinterest</a></div>SugarShine Designshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05598769845594763210noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3286920654979951643.post-75741596360692690452022-01-23T09:00:00.001-05:002022-01-23T09:00:00.247-05:00Winter Beauty<p> <span style="text-align: center;"> </span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh1UbtOjWb8KpLYf4HmhOu7OsGu7jmm5YdjvOO1G60ZVHRqg6SD8yjpL94sUTcEglVSqmBXL1yevGrPC8FR3stTZvxdc6TpC2qSq1JggovOZW5pWtHdOBhQbggk6wtQuNTFI6Wf64xU0_MdtUlOzpuAa-lVX9Cyer61JWntZ1LiIaUD7_jVborXEpT6=s900" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh1UbtOjWb8KpLYf4HmhOu7OsGu7jmm5YdjvOO1G60ZVHRqg6SD8yjpL94sUTcEglVSqmBXL1yevGrPC8FR3stTZvxdc6TpC2qSq1JggovOZW5pWtHdOBhQbggk6wtQuNTFI6Wf64xU0_MdtUlOzpuAa-lVX9Cyer61JWntZ1LiIaUD7_jVborXEpT6=w640-h640" width="640" /></a></p><div style="text-align: center;">So how's the weather been treating you? A lot of the country has had some rough weather lately and here in Charlotte we actually had snow! Woohoo! We don't get snow too often and we got some last Sunday and again Friday night. It doesn't last long here which is just how I like it. It's pretty when it comes and just as nice when it goes. </div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;">All the cold temps and the snow inspired my card today. There are many products that can be used for a winter theme. The background of the forest is made with Glitter Winter Washi Tape. I love the subtle pattern of trees in the tape. I used two rows of Sparkle White Glitter Tape to represent the snow. Two strips of Fancy Long Bling-Pearls & Jewels in clear adds a bit more sparkle. I used a pair of Moose Brads in the scene. The Cardinal Brad is the perfect pop of color in this neutral scene. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhllxchOTbpTlLSIoSytwxQzRoYPHJvKBfs-yKaBOMedLXW0sJxX15xz84jE1xtGEMtKOdWdQQhEmuR9ZxGMNKGJHidFAbMzJU56j40SWAs_6g9CU6VBwigFLCmRpwjbLfGl4khif07NAtq_U2YUwKszRn8x4ArzSyKkhszCm1w3l3rSUfaMezmcGenHg=s900" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="675" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhllxchOTbpTlLSIoSytwxQzRoYPHJvKBfs-yKaBOMedLXW0sJxX15xz84jE1xtGEMtKOdWdQQhEmuR9ZxGMNKGJHidFAbMzJU56j40SWAs_6g9CU6VBwigFLCmRpwjbLfGl4khif07NAtq_U2YUwKszRn8x4ArzSyKkhszCm1w3l3rSUfaMezmcGenHg=w300-h400" width="300" /></a></div><div><b><u><br /></u></b></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u>Shopping List:</u></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.eyeletoutlet.com/wide-glitter-tree-washi-tape.html">Glitter Winter Washi Tape</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.eyeletoutlet.com/sparkle-white-glitter-tape.html">Sparkle White Glitter Tape</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.eyeletoutlet.com/long-bling-pearl-jewel.html">Fancy Long Bling-Pearls & Jewels-Clear</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.eyeletoutlet.com/cardinal-brads.html">Cardinal Brads</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.eyeletoutlet.com/moosebrads.html">Moose Brads</a></div></div><p style="text-align: center;">Thanks for stopping by today.

Today I'm rolling with the Art Impressions current challenge, Get In Shape. This has been a great stretch challenge for me since my normal go-to card shape is an A2 and sometimes a 5 x 7 card. I was looking at my collection with fresh eyes and realized that the Cubbie line all include the most fun stamped shapes. Why not make a shaped card base to fit the fun cubbie stamp image? The result is an adorable little card with a ton of personality. Plus, we all know how hard masculine cards can be and this one would be right up a boy's alley! What a fun card to give to a child or friend who needs a little encouragement or has recently done something great. </div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span></span></p><a href="https://sugarshinedesigns.blogspot.com/2022/01/perfect-card-for-boy-hamster-wheel.html#more">Read more »</a>SugarShine Designshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05598769845594763210noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3286920654979951643.post-72211317251256239782022-01-16T09:00:00.001-05:002022-01-16T09:00:00.213-05:00Happy Birthday Weenie!<p> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh6nho5yBeQqAWR3HIFSY-baNxtYb37Rd3U5yhjSopcXLX3zKPhbDlclcfIYOM4Fqi_9JoaBF8h1ZyCPLpbRaZ0b3nutrM6OzK9TyTEs_JgBJgVXNrcqQUwrEdJ5uG3TGF6ZEd4KMqR-PyilyDiLNGisAXjeMrMG7Z5OLEcuZYl1dSNI13I5FmRI4ISCQ=s900" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh6nho5yBeQqAWR3HIFSY-baNxtYb37Rd3U5yhjSopcXLX3zKPhbDlclcfIYOM4Fqi_9JoaBF8h1ZyCPLpbRaZ0b3nutrM6OzK9TyTEs_JgBJgVXNrcqQUwrEdJ5uG3TGF6ZEd4KMqR-PyilyDiLNGisAXjeMrMG7Z5OLEcuZYl1dSNI13I5FmRI4ISCQ=w640-h640" width="640" /></a></p><div style="text-align: center;">January is an important time at my house because it's my husband's birthday month.

Last weekend, I posted a towel shaped card made with <a href="https://shrsl.com/3ce84">AiCS31 - Pamper Yourself</a>. This weekend, I'm sharing the card I made with the other main image in this set. I also used the Ai <a href="https://shrsl.com/3ce87">5063 - Rectangle Double Stitched Dies</a> and the <a href="https://shrsl.com/3ce88">5133 - Flag Double Stitched Dies </a>for this card. Here our lady is prepared to receive her massage. What I love about her is that she knows her self worth and ponders just why it's asking too much to be treated like the queen she is!</div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;">The crown-shaped card base was created by enlarging an image in Cricut Design Space. The front includes all the pieces in purple, gold and mirror cardstock. Pearl and gem bling was used to decorate it. The back is a solid version of the shape. I connected the two together by scoring a horizontal line about 3/4 down from the top of the solid shape. The two pieces are glued above the score line creating a hinge for the card. You can turn any shape into a card using this method. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I really enjoyed coloring this lady with Copic markers. I added additional fold details to the towel and light shading. A little white gel pen was used for highlights n her arm, mask and earing.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><u>COPIC COLORS USED:</u></div><div style="text-align: center;">C00, C0, C1, C3, C5</div><div style="text-align: center;">BV04, BV02, BV00</div><div style="text-align: center;">YR14, YR 15, YR 18</div><div><div style="text-align: center;">E000, E00, E04, E11, E21, R20</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />Thanks so much for joining me here today.

Today I'm doing a very quick card share of an adorable House Mouse Designs stamp called Birdie Kiss. I have been practicing water coloring using Tombow Dual Tip Markers. Earlier this week, I was rummaging through my stamps and came across this one. I had picked it up at Tuesday Morning in 2018 and had never used it. Well, one look and I fell in love with it again and this time I pulled it out to stamp and paint. Finally! Unfortunately, I think this stamp is discontinued but you might be able to find it on Ebay or Etsy if you really want this stamp.</p><p style="text-align: center;">I paint this by using a pallette, rubbing marker ink on to the palette and then picking it up with a damp #3 round brush. I apply the color directly from there but there are times I wet the area I'm coloring first if I want it to spread out and give more variation of color. Every time I paint something, I learn something and this was no exception. I'm far from perfect but practicing is making me more comfortable and giving me more confidence to try the next one. </p><p style="text-align: center;">This is a 5 x 7 card. Usually I make 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 cards (A2 size) but this is such a nice large stamp, I thought it deserved a bit more real estate. I used a 5 x 7 sized Curious Metallic Violette cardstock for the background. I cut the purple mat out of the center of the 5 x 7 piece, then placed the gold metallic patterned paper from my scraps on top to cover the hole created by cutting the mat. Then I put the mat and the cut image on top of that. I glued the finished panel on a cream 5 x 7 #110 Classic Crest Natural cardstock card base. This way, I only used one sheet of 5 x 7 specialty paper and not that much was wasted.<br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">I'm entering this card into the <a href="http://housemouse-challenge.blogspot.com/2022/01/hmfmc-356-anything-goes-option-of.html">House-Mouse & Friends Anything Goes Monday Challenge</a>. </p><p style="text-align: center;">I'll be back again tomorrow with my regular Art Impressions project. Take care everyone!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Thanks for stopping by today.

I decided to make lemons into lemonade by coloring up several of these cheerful cards. As they say, humor is the best medicine! I know these cards will brighten people's day when they’re received. </div><p style="text-align: center;">This is made with the Art Impressions 4863 Irresistible Set. I really love her bed. It’s just like the antique brass bed I had when I lived at home so many years ago. I think I would have picked this one up just because of that but it also makes up some great cards with just the right amount of light heartedness.</p><p style="text-align: center;">This is an A2 card that folds at the top. I used XXX in Basis cardstock. Basis is an 80# weight and I highly recommend it for it's solid core, smooth surface and beautiful colors. It's outstanding used as card bases but it also cuts wonderfully in both metal dies and on electronic cutting machines. The beautiful pink cardstock is Pink Quartz Stardream Metallic cardstock. It is so lustrous and beautiful! You can get both cardstocks at great prices at CutCardStock. If you haven't checked them out yet, you really should. </p><p style="text-align: center;">The beautiful border on this card is from one of my new favorite rectangle nesting die sets from Spellbinders. This one is called Candlewick Rectangles. It can be run through twice to create embossed details. In this card, I did not take that extra step. I just really love the circle/diamond pattern it creates around the edge. It's really different and adds a lot to a card. </p><p style="text-align: center;">I stamped this onto marker paper and colored it with Copic colors. I used the package illustration to guide my shading and color choices. I think it’s great that you can always use the package illustration for an example. One thing I changed up though was the bed color. I made mine into a brass bed of course!</p><div style="text-align: center;"><b>COPIC COLORS USED:<br /></b>0, C1, C3<br />E00, E21, E23, E25, E09<br />B00, B01, B04, BV02, V17<br />RV21, R24, YR02</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Thanks so much for joining me here today.

The koalas are perfectly sized for the small branches I have in my stamp and die stash. In this case, I decided to use dies for the branches and leaves. <a href="https://www.eyeletoutlet.com/leaf-brads1.html">Pastel Leaf brads</a> and pink and red <a href="https://www.eyeletoutlet.com/pink-heart-enamel.html">Heart Enamels</a> were also used as embellishments. The sky background was created by using two pieces of <a href="https://www.eyeletoutlet.com/sky-washi-tape.html">Sky Washi tape</a> on a small piece of cardstock. I placed it under the scalloped window so that the seam is mostly behind the lower branch. It disguises it very well. Although not much is seen of the cute pattern, I used a border of <a href="https://www.eyeletoutlet.com/sloth-washi-tape.html">Sloth Washi tape</a> on the card edges. It gives a nice black border to the bright green paper and I like that there are little flowers peaking out as well.

A scallop die from my stash was used to cut an opening in the front. After attaching the branches and the sky panel behind the window, I used foam tape to secure it to a white card base. The phrase was cut with a design from Cricut Design Space.</p><div style="text-align: center;"><div><div><b>Happy Creating Everyone!</b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6qdC2lniNECpir1kYktNMEbebUDTzMiTmjwQDGfYsym-BIpYjn_4cqPcwSftZLR9q2JqUIPwmfEvuOYnmPA-cUTBUqty3rRORE7-868PsYB_2k3IOTuJxG0Z5isbNyl2kDoGxDEtNFPxV/s1600/Janet+Axtman+wm.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="667" data-original-width="523" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6qdC2lniNECpir1kYktNMEbebUDTzMiTmjwQDGfYsym-BIpYjn_4cqPcwSftZLR9q2JqUIPwmfEvuOYnmPA-cUTBUqty3rRORE7-868PsYB_2k3IOTuJxG0Z5isbNyl2kDoGxDEtNFPxV/s200/Janet+Axtman+wm.jpg" width="156" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div></div></div><p style="text-align: left;"><span face=""trebuchet ms", trebuchet, verdana, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-size: 13.2px; text-align: center;"> </span><b style="text-align: center;">Janet </b><span style="text-align: center;">- </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/SugarShineDesigns" style="text-align: center;">YouTube</a><span style="text-align: center;"> - </span><a href="http://sugarshinedesigns.blogspot.com/" style="text-align: center;">Blog</a><span style="text-align: center;"> - </span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/SugarShineDesigns" style="text-align: center;">Facebook</a><span style="text-align: center;"> - </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/sugarshinedesigns" style="text-align: center;">Instagram</a><span style="text-align: center;"> - </span><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/jaxtman01" style="text-align: center;">Pinterest</a><span style="text-align: center;"> </span> </p></div>SugarShine Designshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05598769845594763210noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3286920654979951643.post-1222394728385861792022-01-08T09:10:00.003-05:002022-01-08T09:10:00.221-05:00Shaping Up for the New Year!<p> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiWAfjBIu0maPRLDbbx2ArTaYN-jFFBSFntiWMzTwmXvWrs8pQSeDPCjl0tcYlW_1kRHC2TjiqKDd_qkss38QztCAq34oPda7sK2FhrCBpBl2jNk_NMUdiSkFbrBNOb2p9tz4p-RKDmJsyifZ3ULLtcrzpCybaQS35uK7QLHAfTjt3bWSz4jVD7-PxXAw=s900" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="899" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiWAfjBIu0maPRLDbbx2ArTaYN-jFFBSFntiWMzTwmXvWrs8pQSeDPCjl0tcYlW_1kRHC2TjiqKDd_qkss38QztCAq34oPda7sK2FhrCBpBl2jNk_NMUdiSkFbrBNOb2p9tz4p-RKDmJsyifZ3ULLtcrzpCybaQS35uK7QLHAfTjt3bWSz4jVD7-PxXAw=w640-h640" width="640" /></a></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">Congratulations everyone! We made it to 2022! No matter what else the year will bring, I am determined to make it a year of creative growth. </span></div><p style="text-align: center;">After the holidays, a lot of us have had enough of our clothes fitting too tightly. We start to eat better and add a little more exercise back in. At least that's me anyway. After gaining a few holiday pounds, it's time to get back at it. It's kind of a grind to get started but with a little humor it's a lot easier. What better way to get some humor into your life than with a great stamp set from Art Impression? </p><p style="text-align: center;">My card today is made from the Pamper Yourself stamp set. The funny sentiments paired with two hilarious mature ladies makes this one of my favorite sets. I am inspired by our current Get In Shape Challenge which is going on at the Art Impressions blog through next Thursday. I hope you'll join in with us. It's easy and you could win Ai stamp sets of your choice.

The towels were perfect for the sentiment I chose to use. The shape came from Cricut Design Space. I sized up the towel image for a card base and cut all the pieces for the front and a blank solid piece for the back. I attached the two pieces with a fold at the very top of the blank card base. When the front is glued on to the area above the fold, it allows the card to open from the bottom and stand. This method works like a charm to make a card base out of nearly any shape.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Copic Markers Used:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">C00, C0, C3, C5</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">BV00, BV02, BV04</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">E000, E00, E04, E11, E21, R20</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Happy Creating!</span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>Janet </b>- <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/SugarShineDesigns">YouTube</a> - <a href="http://sugarshinedesigns.blogspot.com/">Blog</a> - <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SugarShineDesigns">Facebook</a> - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sugarshinedesigns">Instagram</a> - <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/jaxtman01">Pinterest</a></div></div>SugarShine Designshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05598769845594763210noreply@blogger.com0
