Such a lovely image to color and it's so easy to color.  I really enjoyed working with this image.  After I made the color choice for the woman, things just seemed to flow together.

A Joy Clair Designs Day

 
The sponsor for Die Cut Divas for April is Joy Clair Designs.  You can find everything from clear and digital stamps to dies, stencils and paper.  I've been creating with JOY!  

The Theme is Tic Tac Toe.  Be sure to join the fun at Die Cut Divas for a larger view of the Tic Tac Toe grid.


The Prize is three digital stamp sets.

I think there have been times in our lives when we've stuck by our friends through thick and thin, whether it's been a physical loss or emotional distress. I have a friend who's recovering from knee surgery and I thought I'd send this card to her as we've been friends for over 40 years.

I chose to use the top "across" section of the Tic Tac Toe grid, (at least 2 layers not counting the base, bling/glitter & the color red). I used metal hearts and red stickles to the centers of the flowers.


Supplies:
Joy Clair Designs Count Me In digital image
QuicKutz Nesting Scallop Square die-cuts
Kat Scrappiness Never Ending Square die-cut
Copic markers
Stickles - Xmas Red in the center of the flowers
Vagabond die-cut machine
Hearts are a gift from a friend

A Sunny Day At Sunny Studio

 

A great big "Thank you!" to Sunny Studio, Die Cut Divas' sponsor for March and I have one more card to inspire you to enter the last day of the challenge at Die Cut Divas.  The challenges ends at 9:00 p.m. Pacific time.

Sunny Studio is donating a gift certificate of $25

The Theme is Birthday!  Have fun and make a Birthday card and 
enter the challenge at Die Cut Divas.

When I received my "Snail Mail" stamps and dies, I knew I wanted to send a snail mail birthday wish with it.  The mini-slimline card is a perfect size for the set.  

I cut the grass strips by moving the die along some leftover green cardstock and then cut it again with the Border die to fit it on top of the blue panel.  I think it will make a great "guy" snail mail Birthday card.  I may use this as a template with different skies to make a variety of female and guy cards.  I stamped and cut the sentiment from the Floating By stamp set as it has no matching die.  It was easy enough to stamp several and cut them out for future use.

Supplies:
Sunny Studio Snail Mail Stamps and dies
Sunny Studio Floating By stamps and dies
Momenta Nested Borders Rectangles
Poppy Stamps Little Bit of Turf dies
Kat Scrappiness Ice Ice Baby Enamel Dots
Copic markers
Vagabond die-cut machine

February Card Chain Challenge Reveal

 For those who make cards, what better way to enjoy those cards than to send them on their way to someone who will enjoy your card as much as you enjoyed putting it together!  AND, you receive a card that someone makes for you!   I love the fresh clean air of being in the mountains and just enjoying the quiet.

The choices for February are listed below my card.  You only need to choose one theme, but I decided to do a shaped card and add friend for friendship.  I had fun creating with this snowglobe for a summer scene.  I had some leftover paper from 10 years ago that is 9" X 15" which is very smooth and somewhat glossy.  I'm very happy with my card and it was fun to do a spring/summer card with this die-cut set.  

We could choose any one of the challenges we wished to work on.

Time For Sunny Studio

 
Sunny Studio is Die Cut Divas' sponsor for March and it's always fun to play with Sunny Studio.  Everything becomes a bit sunnier when you can play.

The Theme is Birthday! 
What perfect timing as I always need birthday cards for my March Birthdays.

I think the blue framing and simple style makes this a good masculine card.   The balloons and little bow at the bottom of the strings are die-cut and I've stacked the balloons 3 layers deep with the bow two layers deep.  I had already embossed the blue layer and brings some more depth to the card.

Supplies:
Sunny Studio Floating By Stamps
Sunny Studio Floating By dies
Embossing folder
Copic markers
Vagabond die-cut machine
