Karber Halloween Millie

Just a fun card I made for the upcoming Halloween celebration from the Karber Digi store that I Copic colored. I used a die cut that I cut on my Silhouette and that I thread some hemp cord and orange baker's twine through.  Inside of the die cut, there is a die cut circle that I did a stamp resist technique with some glimmer mist and distress ink.  I also used some burlap string to make a broom. The sentiment I stamped out with Claire's ABCs from Lawn Fawn. Hope you like it and thank you so much for stopping by my blog today!

Karber DT Card of the Week: Aquarius!

This week for my Karber design team card I used the Aquarius digi for their Zodiac line. Isn't she cute with her Snorkel gear on? I added a die cut doily, some orange baker's twine, and some neat self sticky turquoise round sparkle embellishments. I edged everything with a Tim Holtz ink from his winter line. I Copic colored her and made her snorkel mask orange and her bathing suit aqua. I left out the bubbles as I ran out of room, sadly.

For the clouds I used Liquid Applique and a heat tool. Lesile and her Balloon were adhered with foam adhesives. For the finishing touch I rounded two of the corners with my Corner chomper doo-dad.

Karber Digi Design Team Card of The Week: Harry Potter Flying!

Good Monday, blog friends! This week for my Karber design team card I chose to use: Harry Potter Flying! Isn't he adorable??!! If you love him as much as I do, you're in luck! He's on sale for only $2, as are all the Harry Potter digis at Karber Digital Images! Definitely check it out if you're a Harry fan!!

I Copic colored Harry and cut him out. Then I made him a broom using linen thread and adhered it with Glossy Accents. I also applied Glossy Accents to his glasses. I die cut the Snitch on my Silhouette and the SVG is from their store. I painted it with gold acrylic paint and adhered part of it with clear foam adhesives and part with just plain paper glue to give some dimension. I also adhered Harry with clear foam adhesives, my new favorite dimensional adhesive! Lastly I cut a flag out and spelled out a custom sentiment. A big thank you to Josie Cutchens for coming up with the sentiment when I put a call out to my Facebook friends! :)

Be sure to stop by Karber's blog to see all the other design team work and to also check out the new challenge for April!

Karber Digi Design Team Card of The Week: Coffee Leslie!

I am addicted to coffee, like woah! So when I saw the Coffee Leslie digi, I just had to have it! Isn't she adorable?? I wanted to take a vintage twist on the card by incorporating a news paper (a real one, not a digital copy!), a cup of coffee, and pajamas. My type of girl! :) After I Copic colored her in, I added some Liquid Applique in white to the frothy steamy goodness in the mug and a Tim Holtz mini paper clip on the sentiment.

Karber Digi Design Team Card of The Week: Easter Jenny!

Pin It
This week I used Easter Jenny which also is on sale this week! Definitely go take advantage of the sale! Just about every Karber character has their own Easter image. Super cute!

I used my Spellbinders Wonky Frames die to cut and emboss this card. These are great to use with digis as you cut them after you've printed them, so there's no guessing if the image will be centered, which just makes things sooo much easier! I Copic colored Jenny and also made the grass with short strokes of the marker. Then I edged the grassy part with Peeled Paint Distress Ink and the sky portion with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink. Then tied a piece of linen thread into a bow through a Pebbles flower button. I needed an easy card to make this week as I'm struggling with allergies. So glad I thought to use the Spellbinders dies with my Karber digi, made things go a lot quicker than fussing with paper piecing and cutting everything by hand!

Karber Digi Design Team Card of The Week: Cute Japanese!

Pin It
This week's Karber digi design team card features Cute Japanese, she is indeed cute ...or as I like to say, Kawaii, which means cute in Japanese. :) After Copic coloring the image, I die cut a bunch of different shapes and layered them all on an A2 sized white card base. Cut a strip of paper, stamped the sentiment, cut flags at the end and added two self stick pearls. Such a fun card to make!

Also, be sure to stop by Karber's Blog and see how to win their newest clear stamp set release, Cute Strawberry! She's super kawaii and you won't want to miss this chance to win the set!

Karber Digi Design Team Card of The Week: Millie Umbrella!

Pin It
For this week's card I used Millie Umbrella. I chose her for my card this week for two reasons. One, she's adorable and such a cute stamp for Spring cards! Second, because she's awesome for newbies like me to learn shadows and shading with Copics! Because you instantly know all the shadows will be under the umbrella it makes it a lot easier to know where to lay down your darker colors. This was only my second go at shading skin tones, so please excuse the imperfections. Though I think even the Copic pros are always learning and evolving with Copics and their techniques. But if you're new to shading I couldn't think of a better image to try!

I finally got to use my new Dew Drops. I only had clear Dew Drops so what I did was drop some of my Ice Blue Copic refill ink into the tiny wells on the back of the drops and let it dry. I'm pretty happy with how they turned out. :)

Here's a front view of the card to show the sentiment and faux stitching a wee bit better.

Karber Digi Design Team Card of The Week.

Pin It
When choosing my images for my DT work one of the digis I chose was the Millie American Flag digi stamp. I chose it with the express purpose of making a card for Operation Write Home. Isn't she adorable? I stamped out a background of stars, cut a tag on my Cricut, and tied a bow with linen twine with a Tim Holtz star trinket attached. For Millie I wanted her to be her own girl, meaning she didn't have to wear red, white, and blue as I felt that would be way too matchy matchy. I colored her with Copics and colored a small paper flower I had with the same blue and purple as her dress. Then coated the flower in Glossy Accents to make sure it stayed 3D and didn't lay flat. Lastly adhered a purple gem in the middle for an extra touch of girly.


Don't forget to enter this month's Karber Challenge! There's a couple of days left, but then a new one starts so don't fret! :)

Birthday Card for My Hubby

Pin It
Last week was my husband's birthday so I made him a manly card, hahaha well semi-manly. The tin man is definitely more manly than say a teddy bear, right? I actually was hoping the tin man came off more like a robot, which I think it did. I used a woodgrain paper from Studio Calico and distressed it with my Tim Holtz Distressing tool and ran over the distressed bits with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. Totes manly, no? ;) For the banner I stapled it on slightly askew with my Tiny Attacher, also from Tim Holtz. The super cute Tin Man is from Karber's new clear stamp set, Karber Wizard of Oz! The Balloon is from Lawn Fawn's Admit One stamp set and the happy birthday sentiment is also from Lawn Fawn and is part of their Sophie's Sentiments set.

Thanks so much for dropping by!

Karber Digi Design Team Card of the Week

Pin It
This week I used Karber's Best Friends digi stamp. I wanted to go shabby chic with this card, so after coloring the girls' dresses I white washed it with a dry brush and Studio Calico Mr. Huey's cream mist. Just unscrew the cap and lightly dip a dry brush in the bottle and it works as a great white wash to dull colors. I also used a little white metal frame from Stamp'n Up and tied it to the card with linen thread and two white brads to frame the sentiment.




I hope you like my card this week. Please check out Karber's blog as they usually have a contest going on. Would love to see what you come up with!!

My Karber card of the week.

Pin It
This week I used Karber's digi stamp called Alice Leslie, by clicking the link it will take you to Karber's store where you can purchase her. Isn't she adorable? I love the white hare, too! Can't you just hear him telling Alice she's late? :)

I wanted to make a red headed Alice, just to be different. I've also never had a go at coloring red hair before, but I had a lot of fun with it! I think I need to buy the proper colors for red hair the next time I try it, but I'm pleased with the final product.

I cut a doily on my Cameo in pink and just went from there with the layering. I also punched out a scalloped edge with a cute chevron patterned paper. I'm also (as I'm sure you've noticed by now) really on a huge flag obsession as of late! I just love the simplicity of them and how you can dress them up with twine, hemp, buttons, or faux white gel pen stitching.

If you have any questions, please just ask! Thanks so much for stopping by!

This week I chose to make a Valentine card for my debut design team design using the Lollipop Leslie digi stamp. I'm a big fan of Fox's 'New Girl' show and knew exactly what I wanted to do with this image as soon as I saw it! Hello, adorkable!! If you have no idea what I'm talking about, definitely Google it! Basically it's someone who is an adorable dork. I love Leslie's huge glasses, they give her so much character! I wanted them to be big, red, and shiny! I Copic colored her in and printed a second Leslie so that I could paper piece her glasses with a two small circles of see through plastic underneath. You can't see it too well straight on in the image above, but you can see it in the picture below.

I hope you love Lollipop Leslie as much as I do and enjoyed my take on an unconventional Valentine.

Karber Challenge

Pin It
This card I made with the adorable Karber clear stamp set, Hawaii. Being a girl from Hawaii, I just had to have this set! I made this card to submit to Karber's current challenge for January, Use Some Bling!

For this card I paper piece the heck out of the lil hula wahine! I stamped her ti leaf skirt on some Bo Bunny vinyl ribbon with brown StazOn ink and cut it out. I ran a green apple Copic marker along the edges of the ribbon where I cut it to make sure it blended in well and there wasn't any white fabric showing. I stamped the haku lei on her head again and colored it and placed tiny bits of bling in the center of each flower. I mostly wanted to paper piece the haku lei to give it some dimension. Plus it let me be a lil more carefree when Copic coloring. Side note ...I used the flash for this picture, so the color looks a lil off, but you can see the bling a bit better.

For the base I cut four scrap pieces into small squares and applied them down in a color blocking like look. Then I cut two circles on my Cricut, one 1/2 inch larger than the other. On the blue circle I stamped the Aloha sentiment from the stamp set repeatedly till it covered the entire circle. I colored in the sun from the same set it yellows with a hint of orange and adhered it to the top right slightly off the circle. For the banner on the bottom I embossed the Aloha sentiment on a strip of paper and cut out in a rectangle with two slightly smaller rectangles. I edged them both with an orange Copic to make sure no white core was showing. By adhering the center part with the sentiment with foam adhesives and the two flags with tape runner adhesives, it gave it a 3-D look. I curled up the ends of the flags a smidge for bit more dimension and I then I was finished.

Thank you again for the continued support of my blog with the comments and followers! Only one more follower needed and I'll post the blog candy! I'm so excited! I'll post a picture here soon! I've got heaps of goodies wanting a new home! :)
