Handmade Paper Hugs

Hey everyone! Today is my husband's 50th birthday and I made him this special sidestep card. It holds not everything but a lot of what he is and loves. I actually had to leave things out because it wouldn't fit.  He works as a technician, always has, and he has a special thing for... Screw drivers. Apparently.  It's a standing joke that he doesn't have any and should put it on his wishlist. When in reality he has soooooo many 🙈 So as a joke I "hid" a bunch in the card. My daughter couldn't find all of them. Can you? Scroll to find answer.  Products used: * Avery Elle, Fly-by - My husband constantly checks travel ideas for our next adventure  * My Facorite Things, Hot cocoa cups - He LOVES! coffee, grinds his beans himself  * Three Scoops, Surprise pakke 11 - Vaca! Usually travel includes sun, snorkelling and whale watching * Sugar Pea Designs, Grill Master - He's an avid BBQ-chef and likes to make use of it all year round regardless of rain and snow *

Hey everyone! Here's a cute Christmas card using a new Krista Leigh Smith stamp. This blue/red combo is really growing on me and I wanted to use mainly those colors. What do you think of this combo? I added some texture using a sweater embossing folder from By Lene and backed the image with a tree cut with a Marianne Design die from patterned paper (My favorite things). I really love how this turned out. Thanks so much for stopping by!  Happy crafting!  Tina Copics used R29, R27, R35, R14 BG09, BG07, BG05, BG01 W7, W5, W3, W2 100, C7, C5 E13, E11, E21, E00 + R32 + R22, R20

Hi everyone! I'm super excited to share that I've joined the Rachelle Ann Miller stamps design team. I feel so honored to join this team of very talented ladies! For my first card I've used " Penguin & Snowman: sledding " from the recently released November release. I'm a Copics girl, and I colored both image and background with markers. I did however pop up the image for a bit of dimension.  I wanted there to be snow everywhere from the sled flying by. I first splattered with white acrylic paint diluted with water, but it just didn't do it for me. So I added an ultra high white embossing powder, and I love how that turned out.  Copics used: B00, B0000 + E33 100, C9, C7, C5 + W1 YR68, YR16, YR15 E08, E99, E97 E27, E57, E55 RV66, RV34, R81 BG15, BG34, BG11 BG72, BG53, BG000 Thanks for stopping by!

Hey everyone! Have you started on your Christmas cards? Or maybe even finished?  I've only just started mine 🙈😂 Anyway, here's an old Make it Crafty digital stamp that I printed in a softer grey tone. Not 100% noline, but noline-ish. I actually really struggled with this when I started. I don't do much noline coloring, so I really need to think hard about it. After coloring in blues and pinks I thought about starting over, but decided to trust the process. And I'm glad I did. Once I colored skin and hair I suddenly was very happy with my coloring. So, trust the process, guys! I kept it simpel with just adding a sentiment (Stamping Bella Uptown Girl Katrina's Christmas kiss) and let's not talk about it being crooked 🙈 that's the downside of rubber stamps, right?! I considered stamping again and cutting it out to cover this, but I wanted the card to be one layer, so... 🤷‍♀️ Anyway, thanks for stopping by. And stay tuned for some exiting news!  Happy Christ
