Adventure Panda Card!

Hello my sweet friends! I'm over on the Kitty Bee Designs Blog today with my last post for this awesome design team. I have loved working with all these wonderful girls and the fabulous stamps and digis from the Etsy Shop, but sometimes the time comes where you need to move on and do something different. I'm not exactly sure what 'different' is right now, but I'm feeling like I want to spend a little extra time organizing my house, getting my photos into albums and hanging out with the family - especially with warm weather on the horizon. I will always be a fan of the Kitty Bee Designs stamps though, and hope you'll continue to check the blog for all the wonderful designs the team comes up with! Today, I'm sharing the super cute Kitty Bee Designs Cloud Sitting Panda Clear Stamp coloured with Hobby Colour Markers and Copics which I cut out with a stitched circle die.

This cute paper airplane paper was just perfect to go with the sweet pilot panda. I even cut out some of the images to pop up around the card. Along with an 'adventure' sticker, this card will be great to pass along to someone who may be traveling, graduating or just heading down a new path.

Inside, I used a fitting stamp from Wild Whisper Designs. I think mixing and matching images and stamps is a great way to get more out of your supplies. (PS Be sure to use the code DTKARLA to save 10% off your order at the Wild Whisper Shop!)

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a fantastic week and enjoy any adventures coming your way.

Amazing Panda Card!

Hello! Hope you're all well today and ready for some cute crafty inspiration! I usually share a digi stamp from Kitty Bee Designs, but did you know they also have the most adorable clear stamps for sale too?!! This cute Movie Panda is a clear stamp that is 3" tall and just so sweet 💙 

I'm using some pretty papers from the Paige Evans Whimsical collection by Pink Paislee. I love picking my papers out first and then colouring my image to match. I used some Copics with my Prismacolor Markers to colour him in and cut him out with a scalloped edge die from Your Next Stamp. I dotted some Ranger Liquid Pearls around the scallops for detail. They are a really neat embellishment to try!

I used sentiments on the front and inside of the card from Pretty Cute Stamps and coloured the popcorn in with a white marker from Jane Davenport. 

Thanks so much for stopping by! I'm sharing him over on the Kitty Bee Designs blog today - if you haven't had a look there be sure to head over to get lots of amazing inspiration using all the super cute Kitty Bee Designs images, clear and digital!

Kitty Bee Designs #138 - Animals!

Hi Friends! I hope you've been having a lovely week so far! It's time for the inspiration for Challenge #138 over at the Kitty Bee Designs Challenge Blog - Aloha Friday!

Challenge #138
Animals!

Super big thanks to our sponsors for this challenge,

Fabrika Fantasy - http://www.fabrikafantasy.com/

and

WInk WInk Ink - https://www.etsy.com/shop/WinkWinkInk

This week I'm sharing a sweet card using the Cute Bear Cub 1 Digital Stamp from Fabrika Fantasy. I started off by using my dot embossing folder with a piece of patterned paper. I often forget about embossing patterned papers instead of plain cardstock, but I love how it turned out! I was playing around with my SCT Sampler Pack filled with pretty papers, stamps and embellishments- and had a lot of fun combining the lovely spring colours. 

I was practicing a fur colouring technique and like the cute fuzzy look. I added some Stickles to his balloon and added some Buttons Galore and More sequin embellishments onto the background tag cut with a Your Next Stamp die. A bit of Distress Oxide Ink adds a little colour to soften the white tag.

I embossed the Happy stamp with an Emerald Creek Craft Supplies powder onto a Vicki Boutin cardstock clip and added a little heart sticker. A cross stitch border diecut adds detail to the layered paper.

Post It Notes Panda Card!

Hello friends! Sometimes I sure feel like I need to cover myself in sticky notes to remember everything I need to do, lol! This cute Post It Notes Panda Clear Stamp from Kitty Bee Designs is sure to do just that 😉 I'm sharing him over on the Kitty Bee Designs blog today, so I thought I'd share him with you here and give you all the details.

I used some pretty papers from the Whimsical collection by Paige Evans for Pink Paislee. I love that she has coordinating stickers! I stamped this cutie onto a background cut with a Sizzix die and coloured him in with Prismacolor and Copic Markers. A bit of Glossy Accents over the sticky notes adds such a neat effect.

Inside, I added a thank you sentiment using an Altenew stamp set and coordinating die. I used some of the new Tim Holtz Metallic cardstock to diecut the word and I loved how it turned out!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a fantastic week friends!!

I layered up papers and a pretty flower sticker from one of the SCT Sampler Packs, along with the lovely Paige Evans Turn The Page print in the center, and coloured up this sweet little turtle to match with alcohol based Prismacolor Markers. I cut the pretty polka dot background paper with a scalloped stitched die from Your Next Stamp. 

I layered several diecuts of the Hello Bluebird 'hello' die to create a chipboard look and placed it on a rectangle cut with a Sizzix die. Now this sweet card is ready to send to a friend for any occasion!

Kitty Bee Designs - Owl Witch Halloween Card!

Hello! We are counting down to Halloween at my house, and I have a cute little card to share with you today using Kitty Bee Designs Owl Witch digital stamp! I used some Prismacolor and Hobby Colour Markers, both alcohol based, to colour this sweetie up after printing her on white cardstock. I love adding gel pen details - white on the body and blue on the hat.

I embossed the background with a Tim Holtz embossing folder that resembles shattered ice, but I felt like with the owl sitting in the middle, on top of the 'tree branch' sentiment - it kind of looked like a spooky tree in the background! I stamped the sentiment with a Tim Holtz crazy sentiment stamp and added clear round enamel dots and SpiegelMom Scrap star sequins.

Inside, I stamped a Tim Holtz Halloween stamp with blue Distress Oxide Ink.

Kitty Bee Designs - Happy Birthday Laundry Card!

Hi friends! I'm back today to share a sweet little birthday card with you using the adorable Kitty Bee Designs digi stamp! I don't usually do clean and simple, but today I really wanted to focus on this sweet little image and a Distress Oxide background, and I really do love how it turned out! I used blending foam and sponged on Tumbled Glass, Shaded Lilac and Spun Sugar in a diagonal pattern on Bristol Cardstock. It is a smooth cardstock that is thick enough to withstand some added water. I then spritzed with water and let dry partially before finishing with a heat gun. The Distress Oxides blend beautifully and react with water to create an instant cool background!

I used Prismacolor and Hobby Colour markers, both alcohol based, to colour in the image, which is printed on a 65lb white cardstock base. I then used a Kaisercraft stitched circle die to cut him out and added some white gel pen highlights.

I wrapped some white and purple baker's twine around the background and then layered the image over top, adding foam tape for dimension. I stamped the Lawn Fawn sentiment with purple Archival Ink and added some SpiegelMom Scraps sequins. (don't forget to use the code KARLA15 to save 15% off your purchases at the SMS shop!)

Inside, I added the rest of the sentiment and a few more sequins. If you do a simple Google or Pinterest search for 'laundry quotes' you'll find tons of sentiments you could use!

Kitty Bee Designs - Coffee Gift Card Holder!

Hello! I hope you’ve been having a wonderful week friends! We are finishing off the last week of school here and getting our teacher gifts together. I thought this adorable Kitty Bee Designs - Venti Coffee Panda Girl was just perfect for the front of this sweet coffee gift card holder greeting card!  

I used Prismacolor and Hobby Colour Markers to colour in the cute image and then I cut it out with a Waffle Flower stitched die before layering on the Tim Holtz Gift Card Holder Bag from Sizzix. The pretty, bright papers from Your Next Stamp matched the colours I used on the image and I got inspiration for the design from the June Scrap Shotz  card sketch. (You have until the end of the month to enter!) 

I cut a piece of patterned paper to create a tag and stamped on a sentiment from a Pretty Cute Stamps set with Pink Distress Oxide Ink. I’ll attach a coffee gift card to the tag with glue dots so it can easily be removed. Some pretty SpiegelMom Scraps sequins and a Little Birdie Crafts Burlap flower, altered with some shiny yellow Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist, finish off the card. 

We are so thankful for the amazing teachers the girls have been blessed to have this year, and this card is just a small token of our appreciation for them!

Challenge #120

Masculine Cards

Super big thanks to our sponsor for this challenge

The Paper Shelter

I chose the super cute Kitty Bee Designs Gamer Panda digital stamp to create a fun, masculine card this week! I think this would be perfect for any guy (big or small!) birthdays, hello cards or even a cool Father's Day card. I coloured this guy up with Jane Davenport Magic Wand coloured pencils - which go on like butter 😉 and then used a stitched circle diecut to cut around the image.

I used the For The Boys paper pad from Your Next Stamp, some YNS Firecracker Sparkly Gumdrops and the Chill Out stamp from the YNS Waddles Bring On The BBQ stamp set to finish off my card!
