A Fishy Card Set

Hi!  I have a fun card set to share with you today!  I am a big fan of beachy stamp sets and recently pulled out a bunch of Lawn Fawn ones I had to create a card set for a friend:

This cute little fishy was colored with Prismacolor pencils.  The papers are by Doodlebug Designs- I love the colors!

The second one was stamped with navy and paper pieced together:

The papers from this one are a mix of Bella Blvd and Lawn Fawn.  I'm a sucker for cute patterned paper!

The third is also colored with Prismacolor pencils and features more paper from Bella Blvd.:

I added a few freckles to Mr. Crabby with a white Signo pen.

Here is my last one:

The whale was colored with Copic markers and shaded with Prismacolor pencils.  I love to mix them together!  The papers are Bella Blvd again and that awesome banner die is from Lawn Fawn.

This set was seriously fun to create!  It made me want to go to the beach, too!  lol!  :)

Thanks for stopping by today!

Fun Summer Cards for Waffle Flower Crafts

Today I'm sharing some cards I made for the latest Waffle Flower Crafts release!  It is the most fun release yet and I'll be sharing cards all week!

Nina is featuring two awesome stamp sets and matching dies today: Willy & Friends and Tiger & Lily.  Here is what I made with the Willy & Friends Stamp Set:

Aren't monkeys cute? :)  I colored this little one and pieced a flower in her hair and lei around her neck.  I added a little sparkle around her with a few sequins.  The papers are from the Some Odd Girl Sunshine Sorbet collection.

I love pineapples so I made sure to add one down by my sentiment!  Isn't it cute with the little hearts all over it?

I decided to focus on the treasure and palm trees from the Tiger & Lily Stamp Set.  Here is my card:

I created a little beach scene and pieced my colored palm trees in around where my treasure box would be.  I stamped and colored my treasure next and then finished with the sentiment and some cute puffy heart stickers!

Make sure to pop over to the Waffle Flower Crafts Blog today and every day this week to check out the new release!  It is seriously fun!!

Newton's Nook Designs July Release- Newton's Summer Vacation

Good morning!  I have another fun card for you today featuring another great set from this month's Newton's Nook Designs release!!  This one is a full set of Newton- doing what kitties dream of doing on their summer vacation!!  So cute! Hee!  Here is my card:

I chose the image where Newton is building a sand castle.  I just love this little image!  So imaginative and cute!  I stamped Newton and the bucket onto white cardstock and colored them with Copic markers.  I fussy cut around them and put them aside.  I stamped the sandcastle and the sand in the bucket onto Sahara Sand cardstock and used Copics to color them, too.  I added a poof of Crumb Cake marker with my Spritzer tool to give it a sandy look and cut them out as well.
Then I built my card.  I created a base out of light blue cardstock.  I cut the waves and sand panels using the Custom Panels die set by Avery Elle.  I layered the waves onto my card so they would peek out from behind the sand.  I stamped the bucket, sentiment, and Newton onto the sand and layered my colored pieces over the top.  I added some shadows around them to give them a little dimension.  I layered it on to my card using dimensional adhesive dots and then added a strip of striped paper to finish off the look

Isn't Newton just the cutest?
