7 Kids Crafts: Love Letters

Hello Everyone!

I've been having so much fun with The Greeting Farm stamps and Doodlebug Designs papers and Odds & Ends. This The Greeting Farm stamp is called: Miss Anya Samoyed and the Doodlebug Designs are from the Love Notes collection. The Mama Elephant die is called FT- Artist Mat 


I'm loving that I can use these papers plus the odd & ends for Valentine's, thinking of you, but also Spring or any time type of card that is cheerful and fun. I colored her up with Copic markers and I wanted her outfit and hair to match the little envelopes on the paper.

7 Kids Crafts: stylin' Miss Anya Buckles

Hello Everyone!

I hope all is well. Just wanted to share the card I created with one of the images I colored on this past Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day over at 7 Kids Customer's Create! Facebook page. This stamp set is by The Greeting Farm and it's called Miss Anya Buckles. Because of MLK Day and Black History month approaching I wanted to color someone of African Decent and create these braids. I like to see more variations in coloring skin and hair. 

The cutting dies are from Avery Elle and the background inks are Distress Oxides.

7 Kids Crafts: I Heart U Anya

Hello Everyone!

I hope you are all doing well. With this card I was thinking of all of the flowers that are given at this time, especially roses. I got this Doodlebug Designs paper at 7 Kids Crafts store from the Love Notes collections. This collection works well with Valentine's theme, Spring, Birthday or other occasions- they are some really pretty papers to work with. The stamp is from The Greeting Farm called I Heart U Anya that I've had since last year and I don't think I colored her up until now. You know when you get stamps that you have to have?! LOL Well it was definitely time to color her. Then I ordered some dies, one is called Love You also from The Greeting Farm and a new company in the store called Poppystamps by Memory Box, the die I got is called Whittle Birds. These cute birds are the perfect size to pair with I Heart U Anya and they didn't even need to be colored...

Copic markers used:

W9, W7, W5

N0, N4,

R27, R17, R05, R30

RV55, RV52

E0000, E000, E01, E11, R21, R20

G05, G16

I hope you liked the card
and I hope that you can grab some 

Doodlebug Designs papers + embellishments,  The Greeting Farm stamps + dies,
and some Poppystamps dies

Wish You A Beautiful Day

Hello Everyone!

I had so much fun trying Kathy Racoosin's Coloring Challenge Road Trip (online edition.) Some techniques I've already done just by the number of years playing with these mediums and some were new. I tried to follow her instruction as much as possible and I love what I came up with in the end. The stamp I used is from Waffle Flower Crafts called Peony Bouquet, which I've been hoarding for a while but I had courage to stamp it out because of Kathy's suggestions in being fearless.

Day: One

Waffle Flower Crafts: Peony Bouquet.

Copic markers used:

YR00, Y35, R14, Y21

BG34, BG72

G07, G09

Copic Multiner: Black 0.1

to line the areas that didn't get inked as much. 

Polychromos used:

 Dark Chrome Yellow, Rose Carmine,

Middle Cadmium Red, Deep Cobalt Green,

Walnut Brown

Distress Oxide:
Chipped Sapphire,  Cracked Pistachio

7 Kids Crafts: I love you in so many ways

Hello Crafty Friends!


Today I'm sharing a card made with two sets from the latest Penny Black Inc release, make sure to grab some of these cute stamps sets at 7 Kids Crafts Store while supplies last. For this somewhat simple card I used: Penny Black Inc: Take Me Away and Penny Black Inc: Love Language.

To color these cute bears that are floating away via balloons I first used a Spectrum Noirs as a base and then added shading details with color pencils. I wanted the teddy bears to sort of represent my hubby and I so I made one dark brown and one lighter brown.

Penny Black Inc: 

Take Me Away and Love Language

I used both Polychromos and Prismacolor pencils.

Polychromos: 

Burnt Umber, Caput Mortuum, Black, Burnt Ochre, Dark Red,

Fhuchsia, Rose Carmine, Cold Grey VI 

the sky was done lightly with Light Ultramarine

Prismacolor: 

Sienna Brown

Uni-ball Signo White Angelic

Although I stamped my sentiment with my Misti I did not realize that my ink was kind of dry and attempted to go over it several times but my image shifted and had to go over the font with a gel pen.

I hope you like the card even though I messed it up with how my sentiment came out.

7 Kids Crafts: You're TuTu Sweet

Hello Everyone!

I hope you are all having a nice day. I know it's not Christmas but Nutcracker performances are still going strong. In anticipation for the Penny Black stamps and dies to arrive from 7 Kids Crafts, I decided to use one of the Penny Black stamp sets drawn by Mo Manning that I already had. Isn't this stamp tutu cute? heehee I definitely need to make more cards with her and the other cute stamps from the same set. I decided to pair it with some Graphic 45 8x8 clippings from the Nutcracker Sweet Collection.

Penny Black - tutu sweet

Graphic 45 -Nutcracker Sweet Collection

I colored this sweet little ballerina with Copic markers

but added a little shading with pencils.

The oval die is from Spellbinders which I used a little bit of distress ink 

to the background. The tutu sweet sentiment comes with the set

and I used VersaFine CLAIR: Rain Forest so that 

it compliments some of the green in the background details. 

I hope you liked the card and I 

hope that you can grab some 

Graphic 45 papers and Penny Black stamps and dies

You're the Icing on my Cupcake

Hello Everyone,

Just wanted to share a little birthday themed card. This stamp set is called:

 Kraftin' Kimmie: Made With Love 

and I purchased it from one of my crafty online friends on her crafty destash instagram page:

thefairydestash. 

Check out her page she posts a lot of the stamps or dies that she no longer uses and 

many that I've purchased are still brand new.

The paper which inspired the colors I used is 

Bubbly Girls by Find IT Media Kampen (Yvonne Creations)

I got that paper pad from one of Kim Reid's live "Shop the Box" sales on her

Facebook Group page.

7 Kids Crafts: Neva Snowflake Fairy

Hello Everyone!

Welcome back to the Beautiful Blizzard release over at 7 Kids Craft Store. There are 3 main fairies and an ocean animal for you to enjoy.

For today and tomorrow there is a special mega bundle deal 2 Day Mega Bundle Deal - Beautiful Blizzard, you get more images to play with but you can also chose to get the smaller sets

Eira Snowflake Fairy
Neva Snowflake Fairy
Nixie Snowflake Fairy
for today and tomorrow Norman Narwhal is free only at the 7 Kids Create! Facebook group
there is also. Make sure to participate by creating something with these images for a chance to win next month's stamps but anyone who participates gets to have a tot digi.

A little excerpt about  Neva Snowflake Fairy: She is as soft and gentle as a midnight snowfall under the full moon. Peace and tranquility emanate from her like an aura of serenity. She never seems to be in a hurry to get anywhere... for Neva it is the journey, not the destination, that is important. And of all the Snowflake Fairies only Neva has the patience and skill to create the most beautiful icicles that decorate the winter landscape.

This mini bundle includes 6 digis: Neva the Snowflake fairy, her shadow, magical snow flurry and 3 snowflakes. Also included is a completed scene jpg, all ready to print and color. As 

I was coloring my card, I was watching Amy Young's 7 Kids Facebook live where she created an Aurora Borealis on her background so I was inspired to create one too. Of course mine didn't come out as beautiful as hers but I still liked the colorful background. I also wanted to color in an African skin tone and give her a fun hair color.

Neva Snowflake Fairy

It's kind of hard to photograph but in person this looks very shimmery and so pretty.

I hope you liked my card.

7 Kids Crafts: Nixie Snowflake Fairy

Hello Everyone & Happy New Year!

Welcome to the Beautiful Blizzard release over at 7 Kids Craft Store. There are 3 main fairies and a couple of ocean animals for you to enjoy.

For today and tomorrow there is a special mega bundle deal 2 Day Mega Bundle Deal - Beautiful Blizzard, you get more images to play with but you can also chose to get the smaller sets

Eira Snowflake Fairy
Neva Snowflake Fairy
Nixie Snowflake Fairy
for today and tomorrow Norman Narwhal is free only at the 7 Kids Create! Facebook group
there is also. Make sure to participate by creating something with these images for a chance to win next month's stamps but anyone who participates gets to have a tot digi.

Okay, on to my card... The first image I decided to color is Nixie Snowflake Fairy
A little excerpt: Nixie Snowflake Fairy is  floating among the snowflakes like a fairy snowflake angel! She is delightful and beautiful snowflake fairy!

I love that she looks like she's a snowflake twirling in the sky and looks so happy and loving. Did you check out the dimple I gave her? heehee  All of the fairies from this release also make me think of the Sugarplum Fairies from the Nutcracker or the little fairies from the Disney Fantasia movie. 

With this release I wanted to try and color on blue cardstock because I was feeling kind of lazy with coloring the background but I think I gave myself more work by having to color the snowflakes LOL  (lesson learned.) I did like the effect those because on top of having a solid blue background I added some Distress Oxide around the edges of the card and part of the snow flurries to make it look like she's glowing. On top of the small snow/fairy dust I added Nuvo Dream Drops: Cloud 9 and on the bigger snowflakes I added Gellyroll: Clearstar as well as part of the snowflake skirt just to show how thin the ice is. The sentiment is from Lavinia stamp and is called Fairy Dust is like Love. 

That is it for now. I hope that you enjoy these pretty stamps as much as I do.
