Festive Reindeer Wee Gal

These tiny wee pure innocence girls from My Favorite Things I think are just adorable and they are fun and easy to colour up with my Copics. I just recently scored from Krafters Cart in Auckland MFT's PI Reindeer Games, I think this stamp is an old one as only a few stores around the world still stock it and even fewer have it's matching die. I was keen to try it out ASAP to see what my fussy cutting was like for it and even if I say so myself it is fine and I won't attempt to get the matching die unless MFT re-releases it "from the vault".

A couple of my favourite challenge sites had just the right challenge to use my stamp; The Paper Players had a sketch and Time Out Challenges wanted "festive" so hopefully I have filled the brief for both.


Supply List:
Stamps: PI Reindeer Games (MFT)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Paper: Xpress-IT blending, Neenah Solar White, Garden Green (SU!), Sweetest Christmas DSP (SU!)
Other: Copic Markers, foam squares
Challenges: Paper Players 604, Time Out 221





Yah another Christmas card made, I know who is getting this card already!

Get well card

I have to admit I haven't really made a get well card before but I have had a set in my stash that I bought as I loved the fun animal images and thought that if I needed a "get well card" they would be perfect. The problem was which one to choose. 

My granddaughter Indie has her 3rd birthday coming up and she loves giraffes, so I chose the giraffe image for today's card so I could practice my colouring in case I use a giraffe image for her card. 

I am playing along with the latest challenges at AAA CAS challenge which has a moodboard for our inspiration this week.



I have Copic coloured up the giraffe on Xpress-IT blending card stock and these are the main colours used for the giraffe's body and spots.




Supply List:
Stamps: Back on your Feet (SU!)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Dies: Master Layout 2 (GKD) - I used the non stitched rectangle as a CAS challenge.
Paper: Xpress-IT, Neenah Solar White #110
Other: Copic markers
Challenge: AAA #222

This image just makes me smile and hopefully if I ever need a card to send to someone it will make them smile too.

It made the DT smile too as I was chosen in the top 3 cards for the challenge.

Happy Father's Day

I'm playing along with the latest colour challenge as Just Add Ink. The colours screamed masculine to me and it's Father's Day in NZ come Sunday so I used that for my inspiration for my card today.


Supply List (all SU!):
Stamps: Handsomely Suited
Inks: Old Olive
Paper: Crumb Cake, Old Olive, Pacific Point
Dies: Best Plaid Builder, Tasteful Labels
Other: Dimesionals
Challenge: JAI #618



This is a great colour combo for a masculine card and the Plaid Builder die made making a card very easy.
