This coloring is sooo easy, anyone can do it. This Christmas card design is sooo simple, anyone can do it. This is a very good card to duplicate easily and quickly many, many times.

This stamp is an old Tim Holtz stamp from my stash. While not available at the moment, there are a number of Tim Holtz stamps that would be equally perfect for this style card. This one would be perfect!

I stamped the image and the sentiment from Mathia's typograf stampset in black ink on a card panel. I took my Copics and chose a light and a dark for each color family - R27, R20, G09. G02, C4 and C2. I used the lighter color along the edges of the coloring area and the darker in the center.

I then ran the card panel through my Big Shot with the MFT Wonky Stitched rectangular die. I attached my card panel to my card base and it was all done. So simple, so easy but still so nice!

Until next time...

 Today I bring you a card with very light coloring, patterned paper and a little bit of fussy cutting for a cute, any-occasion card.

I stamped the flower from Mathia's hvitveis stampset with black ink. I colored the flower in with Copic colors RV10, RV19, RV69, YG03 and YG17. I fussy cut the flower and took a piece of scrap colored paper closest to the darkest pink Copic color, RV69. I taped the flower to the paper and fussy cut that out so there was a bit of a border around it.

I then stamped the sentiment from the same Mathia stampset with Candied Apple Distress Ink. I found another scrap piece of colored paper that matched the middle Copic pink color, staggered them and taped them all together.

I cut a piece of patterned paper the exact size of my card and attached it to my card base. The final step was to add some foam tape to both the flower and sentiment section and attach them to the card.

Until next time...

 It's rare when a patterned paper catches my eye but it occasionally happens. My normal modus operandus is to buy it, put it on a shelf, and admire it every couple of months. Am I the only one that does this?!

This time, I was only allowed to buy it if I promised to use it because Connie knows me all too well! And here we have the result of that promise. (I think I should get credit for using it twice because I did use it on the card in my last blog post too!)

I matched up a mother and daughter stamp from Stamping Bella and a sentiment that fit it perfectly from Mathia. I stamped both images, the sentiment on a piece of scrap card stock and the image on Neenah card stock. I colored up the image using my Copics - E00, E41, E50, E01, E11, E33, E93, E37, E49, BG11, BG15, BG57, BG78, YR01, Y11, R27.

I fussy cut out the image and made the sentiment into a banner type shape. I then die cut a pretty oval from Pretty Pink Posh and colored in just the inside piece with Copic color E50. I attached the patterned paper piece from Maggie Holmes to my card base and attached the die cut piece over that. I then used some foam tape on the sentiment and image to add a bit of dimension and attached them to the card.

Until next time...

 I really just wanted to start adding this Shiny Mix washi tape to everything, just splashes of iridescent color everywhere! This is the same washi tape I talked about it my last blog post. I'm still a little obsessed with it. I'm also very glad I took pictures of it after just 2 cards because the rolls are quite a bit smaller now.

So I thought, why can't I add it everywhere? I had planned to use patterned paper with this card as a half and half card but I couldn't resist and added some shiny and iridescent washi tape here too.

First up, I stamped the mother and her newborn image from Stamping Bella (currently out of stock but linked to other SB options), on to a piece of Neenah card stock. I colored her up with my Copics - E01, E21, E50, E51, E53, E93, E95, Y00, Y02, R05, R37, YG06, G09, B32, B34, B41. I trimmed the panel so it left a nice big section for the patterned paper.

I attached the patterned paper to my card base first. Then I attached my colored image to the top of that. I added the washi tape as a pretty transition between the 2 sections. I took the thin sparkly piece and cut it in half using a ruler and a hobby knife (it's pink!) and added those pieces on.

Another quick and simple card, perfect for summer time creativity!

Until next time...

 I got some new washi tape in my hot little hands! I'm not a big washi tape user but I loved the iridescent qualities of some of the rolls and the sparkly qualities of others. As I'm always up for a challenge that pushes me to use things I don't normally use, I took this home and started playing.

I started by stamping one of my favorite mother and daughter stamps from Stamping Bella and my Mathia sentiment (currently out of stock but linked to other options) on a trimmed Neenah panel. I colored it in with my copics - E00, E01, E02, Y00, YR21, YR23, C6, C8, C10, G40, G43, G46, YG06, R81, R83 & R85.

I took another Neenah panel cut to A2 size and lined up the washi tape along each edge. I attached that panel to my card base and then attached the colored image so it was centered and had that lovely iridescent border.

It's summer time and the child is home so I'm going for quick and easy cards this month! 

Until next time...

 Mathia Design has come out with new stampsets and I have been playing with all of them. Today I'm sharing a simple flower card from one of the new sets. You don't always need lots of bling and glamour on every card, sometimes simple is best. And this card fits that bill!

I started by stamping the image in black ink on to some Neenah card stock. I then stamped my sentiment from the same stampset with Kitsch Flamingo Distress Ink. I took another panel and using the stamp pad itself, rubbed it all along the edges so it would make a nice, matching border.

I colored in the flower with my Copic markers and then trimmed that panel so it would look like the panel underneath was a pink border. I attached the panels together and then attached them to my heavy duty card base. I glued on some bling and the card was done! Clean, simple, and fast!

Until next time....
