Snuggle Bunny Card

Hey everyone! I started coloring this Snuggle Anya image with no particular project in mind. Then I noticed that The Greeting Farm Double Take Tuesday Challenge was Pink, Blue and White... so I decided to put together a quick card with it!


I love this image so much, but I'm not sure what occasion I'm going to use it for so I will just wait on the sentiment for now. The star paper is MME Lime Twist and the "notebook" paper is from Teresa Collins. Now, back to coloring!!!

Hippie Chick Card

Hey everyone! Today I'd like to share this fun card that I created for two challenges. The first is the Farm Fresh Friday Challenge over at The Greeting Farm Blog, this weeks theme is to use Ribbon and/or Lace. The other is the Rainbow Challenge at the Pink By Design Blog using either a rainbow or a rainbow of colors.

I chose to color a retired stamp from The Greeting Farm, her name is HG Peace. I like to think of her as a little hippie chick. I used my Copics to color her in and added a little glitter to the peace sign.


For the background paper I used a sheet from the MME Lime Twist collection, I simply cut it to fit the card front and then sliced off a chunk from the bottom and flipped it, it's fun when both sides of the patterned paper are fabulous! Then I added some pom-pom ribbon and the red ribbon with the rainbow circles.

Thanks so much for reading today! Hope you'll go check out the challenges too!

If you complete the entire hop and leave a comment at EVERY blog along the way you will be entered to win a $25 gift card to the Kinderstampo Store!

We all used the following sketch by Elisa Kammerdiener for inspiration:


And here is my Princess Birthday Card:


As you can see, I have altered the sketch a bit. I used the Princess Anya Stamp from The Greeting Farm and colored her with my Copics. I seriously LOVE this image! I used Spellbinders Labels 8 to cut out my image, mat and the sentiment. The papers are all from Echo Park Paper's Little Girl line, one of my all time favorites! The beautiful Rhinestone Trim Bling and Mini Shabby Chic Flowers came from the Kinderstampo store. The flowers started out white and I colored them to match my princess with my Copics.

Theme-spiration with Kinderstampo!

Hello and welcome to the latest "Theme-spired Saturday" for KinderStampo! Every Saturday there is a new theme to serve as inspiration for our paper crafting. This week's theme is....


Now, those who know me well know I'm not a coffee drinker so I didn't have an abundance of coffee related items in my stash. However, I did find this adorable stamp in a goodie bag from Unity Stamp Company! So I created my card...


To get the lace effect under my matted colored image I simply tore the edge from 2 doilies and folded and pleated them until I achieved the look I was after. I also added 2 beautiful crystal-look flowers from the Kinderstampo store to give my card a finishing touch. I colored the clear rhinestone in the center of each with a teal Copic marker to make it pop a bit more.


I chose the wintery, snowy teal papers to make the hot coffee seem that much warmer, and like a delicious treat on a cold winter day. Hope you've enjoyed this Theme-spiration, check out the Kinderstampo Blog for more inspiration!

Heavenly Christmas Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to my stop on the Heavenly Christmas Blog Hop! If you'd like to start at the beginning of the hop, just click HERE to go to Lisa's Blog. I have a non-paper project today but I did use one of my very favorite embellishments to create.... 
A ribbon tree!!  That's right, 5 different spools of coordinating ribbon and some sequin pins to stick it into the styrofoam tree is all it took! Then a mysterious ornament that may or may not have been "borrowed" from a real tree ended up being a fabulous addition to the top! 
The next stop on this fantastic hop is Pam's Blog! Hope you'll take a minute to leave me a comment before you hop along... you never know when the Christmas spirit, and an urge to declutter my desk might make some one's Christmas a little brighter....

KinderStampO Holiday Cheer Blog Hop

Welcome to the 
KinderStampO Guest Design Team "Holiday Cheer" Blog Hop... 
I am so excited to share my creativity with you... 
we have of fun projects, challenges, features and surprises in store for you 
and I can't wait for you to be part of it!

I'm Mandie Wade and I've been crafting my whole life but I started scrapbooking about 6 1/2 years ago when my first daughter was born. Now I've got 2 gorgeous little girls to create pages about and I've also started creating cards and other paper crafting goodies along the way. I just love to play with paper and all of the different fun embellishments! 

Today I have a Christmas card that I've created to go along with our Holiday Cheer theme! You can click any of the photos to see the pictures bigger.


I pulled this fabulous Graphic 45 paper from my stash and used this new angel stamp that I just bought and stamped her in gold metallic ink. I also inked my paper and card base as well as around the sentiment. Next I distressed my Doily with Distress Inks and Glimmer Mist, I snipped off 3 of the Coconut Shabby Chic Flower Trim flowers colored them with my Copic Markers. I love being able to match my papers exactly by simply coloring my embellishments!


You can see the gorgeous Faux Rhinestone and Blossom trim in Canary (it's more of a gold than a yellow) that I simply snipped apart to frame my sentiment a bit. I also popped my sentiment up with a little foam adhesive.


Here's one more look at the beautiful angel! Now she's on the way to a special friend of mine! 
Happy Holidays!

Harvesting Memories Blog Hop

Hey everyone! Thanks for stopping by my blog today for the Harvesting Memories Blog Hop! Since the theme of this hop is all things Fall I decided to use Fall colors and one of my favorite Fall creatures to create a card.


I used the Create a Critter 2 Cricut cartridge to cut this adorable owl from some Close to My Heart patterned papers. This assortment is no longer available but they have many gorgeous papers to choose from. The sentiment is from Jillian Vance Designs and I used Tim Holtz distress ink to distress and stamp on my card.

If you would like a second entry, simply subscribe to my blog posts and leave me a comment that you did it! And what goodies am I offering? An assortment of beautiful ribbons!
