It's a Wrap

Can you believe September is almost gone.  Only 93 day left for this year and 87 until Christmas.
So these cute little bears from Cuddly Buddly are wrapping it up.


The wreath was cut on my Silhouette Cameo. The embossing folder is from Nellie Snellen.



For this one I used the Marianne poinsettia die and Marianne Anas Large Oval die to mount

The greenery is a Martha Stewart punch and the embossing folder is from Darice.
Both images were colored with a combination of Copics, pencils and Gamsol.

See you in October.

Snow Globe

I found this cute card design at the Silhouette Cameo online store, and edited it to work with Cuddly Buddly's penguin from their August release. Isn't he cute?



The SVG file came with a Santa and Sleigh, but I wanted it for this image.  With the Silhouette Cameo I can scan an image or upload a digital image and either cut it or weld it to an existing SVG file. So cool!
This is actually a tri-fold card. 

I used Copics to color the image and added a bit of Viva glitter. I sponged the outer edges of the card globe and stamped some snowflakes inside the globe.  The green poinsettia is a Marianne die with some gems in the center.

Cuddly Buddly Tags

Today I have some tags to show you.  I don't often do tags, because most stamps are just too large.
This reindeer from the August release is the perfect size.



gust release set is just perfect.

The top tag was colored with pencils and Gamsol, and the green tag was colored with Copics. Both were cut with Marianne Dies.  The green tag was cut on the fold and made card style.

Hope you have a fantastic week.

Shop Cuddly Buddly to find these products.

Winter Fun.

It's easy to have a fondness for Winter in August, and when you have an awesome fun stamp to use.






I used my colored pencils and Gamsol to color this sweet little guy.
I cut him out with a Marianne boarder die, flipping it to get top and bottom and framed with red and green card stock.  Then I topped it off with some German Viva Glitter and pretty ribbon.

Get this stamp here.  And check out Cuddly Buddly's fantastic store.
137 days to Christmas!

Toby Tumble Loves Christmas

Toby Tumble is one of my favorite characters.  This stamp set is going to be a must use every Christmas.




For this card I used colored pencils with Gamsol.. The Marianne die was doubled up to create a larger frame.  The sentiment was mounted on another Marianne die. Snowflakes were left overs from a Martha Stewart punch. And what Christmas card is complete without some Viva German glitter? 

Again all product can be found at the Cuddly Buddly Store!

Get your news! Read all about it!

I am so excited to announce I have been chosen to join the Design Team for Cuddly Buddly's new clear stamp line.  


Please check out their other designers and the Cuddly Buddly blog.





Here is my first card for the August Release



The new Cuddly Buddly clear stamps are of superior quality.  The stamps deliver a crisp detail image.

For my first Project I used the cute robin from the new Toby Tumble & Robins stamp set. I just love him.

I used my colored pencils and Gamsol as my medium.  I chose this beautiful Joy Crafts die to frame the image, then used a Marianne holly die to embellish.  I used some dark green card stock to mount and frame the Joy Crafts die then I added the red to the holly berries with a Copic marker.


You can find all the products I used at the Cuddly Buddly Shop.

Kim the owner of Cuddly Buddly, designs many of the stamps herself.  Her store a variety of  dies, papers and hundreds of digital images.


 Thanks Kim for this awesome opportunity.
