So I have been doing my own artwork and using them as stamps and this weekend I had the time to really turn them into cards. I made three, one is a Congratulations Card, seen below.

Yaassss, you did it!

Then I used Misha to say Arigato.

A fun, elegant thank you.

And finally, the resident forest friend wishing someone a happy birthday.

So these were very easy to put together, since I'd already colored the images after drawing them, I just printed them off and added some text and layers. These stamps are for sale in my spicyninja etsy shop if you'd like to make your own.  That's all for now, happy crafting.

Treat yo' self!

So I have been playing with the idea of making a card for one of my favorite phrases and here it is... 

 

Sonia being fabulous.

This is a birthday card for one of my girlfriends! I drew Sonia a while back and just cut her out with Print & Cut on my Explore so I could attach her to this card. I used glitter vellum in a Cuttlebug embossing folder, some pink glitter card stock, and a Recollections edge punch.  The card size is 5" X 7". 

I also received my Dazzles in the mail today from Hot off the Press and used them to make this...

So that's it for today's projects, happy crafting!

I really liked both, but the Tombows started to bleed at the end 😭. I still love them for watercolor paper though.
