Loves Rubberstamps Saturday Inspiration: Happy 4th of July!

Hello and Happy Saturday! Not only am I happy that the weekend is here but I'm also excited that today is the 4th of July holiday!  I look forward to spending a great day with family and friends.  I also really love watching the fireworks at night which is always a ton of fun!  In honor of today's special occasion, I've made a patriotic card for my share today!

Here it is...

I've had this cutie from The Greeting Farm for quite some time but it's actually the first time I've created with her!  This sweet Cheeky Mate was perfect for my patriotic card so I was so excited to finally color her up with my copics!  I also added Wink of Stella all over her outfit and you can't really tell in the pic but she has lots of sparkle!  The festive papers I used are from a collection called "Liberty" by Bo Bunny and all the designs are fantastic!  For added embellishment, I found some cute tiny star sequins which I scattered throughout the card for a fun look.  I also added some thin red ribbon from my stash!

Here is the full supply list for my card:

Cheeky Mate - The Greeting Farm

Copic Markers

Faded Jeans - Tim Holtz Distress Ink

Steel Grey Hybrid Ink - My Favorite Things

Liberty - Bo Bunny

Mono Multi Liquid Glue - Tombow

Wink of Stella Glitter Clear

For those of you celebrating this 4th of July Holiday, stay safe and have fun!!!

Hugs,

Loves Rubberstamps Tuesday Challenge: Celebrate You!

Happy Tuesday all!  This week's Loves Rubberstamps Challenge is always a favorite of mine and that's because the theme is "Celebrations"!!!  This could be a celebration of birthdays, new babies, weddings, holidays etc....sooooo many to choose from and you can always use one of these cards in your stash ready to give, right?!! Our sponsor for this week  is Scrapper's Delight!

Here's my card...

So with my son, Ethan's 6th birthday coming up next month, I thought this would the perfect opportunity to make him a card!  I've had this adorable stamp from TGF called 

Birthday Ian

 for some time and I was so excited to finally take him out to create with!  I colored him up with my 

Copic Markers

 in some fun  bright colors.  Ethan loves robots and also the color green so I thought this cute paper collection called "Hip Hip Hooray" from 

Doodlebug Designs

 was perfect for my celebration theme!  I really love The Greeting Farm images and I knew I wanted to keep my card simple to focus on this super cute image!

Here is my full supply list:

Birthday Ian - The Greeting Farm

Hip Hip Hooray - Doodlebug Designs

Peacock Feathers - Tim Holtz Distress Ink

Steel Grey Hybrid Ink - My Favorite Things

Loves Rubberstamps Saturday Inspiration: Hello, Friend!

Happy Saturday Friends!  Today, I have a fun card share for you.  Hope you like it!

And here it is...

I love the Cheeky Cherry Collection from The Greeting Farm and this is one image I don't feel I use enough!  But she is really so adorable and caught my eye when I was looking for images to use for today!  This is Cheeky Chat!  With the life being so busy these days,  I think many of us rely on technology like emails or texting. What would I do without texting every day?!!! LOL  But that's why this image really makes me remember the good ol' days when I used to actually love to pick up the phone and talk for hours...especially with my BFF! :)  I  know I need to do more of that and this image really did make me smile!  After coloring up this cutie with my copic markers, I then added  Wink of Stella over parts of her outfit to give her some shimmer.   The fun papers I used are called Hey Kid by Pink Paislee.  I think the cheerful bright colors and cool design went well as a background for her. To finish off my card, I used an older MFT stamp set called "Ring Me" for my sentiment.  I also added some sequins and twine.

Here is the full supply list for my card:

Cheeky Chat - The Greeting Farm

Copic Markers

Mustard Seed - Tim Holtz Distress Ink

Steel Grey Hybrid Ink - My Favorite Things

Ring Me Stamp Set - My Favorite Things

Hey Kid - Pink Paislee

Mono Multi Liquid Glue - Tombow

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great weekend!

Loves Rubberstamps Saturday Inspiration: Happy Graduation cards

Happy Saturday Friends!  Hope you've had a wonderful week and are starting a great weekend!  For my kids, it is the last week of school so we've been so busy with school events and graduations.  2 of my sons graduated the last few days from middle school and elementary school.  The schools over here have promotion ceremonies for this which are so so special and fun to watch!

So my share today are a few very simple graduation cards I created for my kids in celebration of their milestone events!

Here they are...

The 2 adorable graduate images are Graduation Luka from La La Land Crafts and Grad Ian (digi) from The Greeting Farm.  Both are so perfect for these celebration cards!  I colored both images up with my copics and kept the cards very CAS to really just focus in on the fun images and the special graduation theme.

Here is the full supply list for my card:

Graduation Luka - La La Land Crafts

Grad Ian - The Greeting Farm

Copic Markers

Memento  Tuxedo Black - Tsukineko

Mono Multi Liquid Glue - Tombow

I always have mixed emotions when it comes to these events.  I'm sad knowing that my kids are leaving the schools they love and where have established so many special memories at.  However, I'm excited for their new journeys to begin at new schools!

For all of you celebrating 2015 graduations,  a big congratulations to your celebrants and to your families! 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hugs,

Marcy

Hello and Happy Saturday!  I have quite a few birthdays coming up in the next few months so I thought I'd start getting some cards created!  

Here's my b-day card share....

This adorable Dollie with Cupcake is always a perfect image for fun, girly birthday cards!  Dollie is so super cute and who doesn't love cupcakes too, right?!!  I colored her up with my copics and then added Wink of Stella all over her dress and cupcake for some fun sparkle!  I also added some polka dots to parts of her dress with my white gel pen.   I love to do that!  For the background, I used one of my favorite Doodlebug Designs papers called "Sweetheart"and I thought it matched so well with her outfit!  I also sprinkled some sequins on the background which always seems to complete my card! :)
