Talk Turkey to Me

Happy Sunday Funday Everyone!  I have a quick share featuring the cutest Turkey I've ever see!  He's part of the Turkey Digital Bundle by Conie Fong and he's ready for Thanksgiving Dinner - not as the main course but as a Guest at the Table.

I've colored him using Copic Alcohol Markers and die cut the panel using a scalloped edge nesting die.  The patterned papers are from the "Welcome Fall" 6x6 paper pad by Carta Bella, and the glitter paper is from a 6x6 glitter pad from Recollections.

The Sentiment is from the "Talk Turkey" Stamp set by Newton's Nook, and was a Stamptember 2023 collaboration with Simon Says Stamp.  I've used a hexagon nesting die to cut out the sentiment.

I hope you have an amazing day and week ahead.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Potted Geranium

Hello!  I hope you're well and enjoying Tuesday.  Today I have a quick share using the Potted Geranium digital stamp from Power Poppy.  This is a lovely image and I've kept  my design clean and simple today. 

The image has been colored using alcohol markers and the card size is 5x7.  The cardbase is 110 lb. Neenah Classic Crest Solar White card, the sentiment is included in the digital set and the focal panel has been matted with black card.

Even though the image is very detailed, it's an easy color.  I went with the traditional Geranium color of Red, I've not actually seen a Geranium in any other color but I'm sure there must be several varieties.

For the finishing touch, I've added clear droplets from Kat Scrappiness.  Thanks for stopping in today and until next time, Happy Crafting!

Stay Cool with a Waffle Cone

Hello Crafty Friends!  I'm back to share a card created using a "Sweet" digital stamp from the Not 2 Shabby Shop.  It's the Waffle Cone image and this set also includes sentiments.

I love Ice Cream in a Waffle Cone..the cone is equally as good as the ice cream in my opinion.  We have a quaint Ice Cream Parlor in our neighborhood that offers Cinnamon Waffle Cones..meaning the cone tastes like Cinnamon and is divine with 2 scoops of Butter Pecan Ice Cream....but I digress, let's get to my card.

I've colored the image with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers, stenciled the background with the Simple Stripes Stencil from Time 4 Tea Designs and Aquatini ink from Catherine Pooler.  The image has been fussy cut and popped on craft foam along with the sentiment.  

Lastly, I've added irridescent sequins for sparkle and shine and called this card complete.  Be certain to visit again March 8th as Not 2 Shabby will be releasing new digital images and I'll have another card to share.  Also, the Digital Design Team will have an Instagram Hop on the 10th of March; you'll want to Hop along for the opportunity to win a Gift Voucher!

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Carrots the Bunny by Not 2 Shabby

Hello Everyone!  Today I'm sharing an Easter Card (is it too early for Easter Cards?) featuring Carrots the Bunny and coordinating sentiments from Not 2 Shabby.  This is an adorable digital stamp set which includes 4 sentiments and 2 sizes of Carrots the Bunny.  My A2 card features the larger bunny image and Easter related sentiment.  

Because the image and sentiments are digital stamps, they can be resized to match your crafting needs. I've colored the image using Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers, the background panel has been scored to give it a "tile-like" appearance and I've torn strips of scrap DSP for color and interest.  Also, the carrot paper strip gives the Bunny a place to "land" instead of him appearing to "float" in the air.

Before adhering the bunny to the panel, I decided to add a snippet of gold card and black twine.  I like the look of that much better so I popped Carrots and the sentiment strips up using craft foam and adhered them to the card panel using liquid adhesive. Lastly, I've added gems from the Blue Belle Pearl Mix by Kat Scrappiness to complete the design.

Thanks for visiting today and until next time, Happy Crafting!

Not 2 Shabby Designs - Latte Love

Hello Everyone and Happy Sunday!  I hope you're staying warm and enjoying your favorite hot beverage.  Speaking of hot beverages, today I'm featured on the Not 2 Shabby Instagram Page with this fun Easel Card that's all about the Coffee...more specifcially a White Chocolate Mocha Latte (which is my favorite)!

For my card, I've colored up the Holiday Latte Digital Stamped image from Not 2 Shabby using Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers.  The card base is A2 sized and folded to create an Easel Card, the papers are snippets from Recollections and American Crafts.  I'm planning on sending this card as a Valentine's Day greeting however the image is versatile. 

I've used a large Tag die from Gina K. Designs to cut panels for the front and inside.  The Latte Cup has been fussy cut and to add more interest, I've inked the tag using a Coffee Stain Stencil and added a Baker's Twine Bow.  

Stop by @not_2_shabby_shop on Instagram to see more Design Team projects using digital stamps and more from Not 2 Shabby.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
