For my card, I used several Sweet November Digital Stamps. I colored the entire image
with Copic markers. The sentiment is from The Greeting Farm and inked it with the Versafine Clair. I had so much fun creating this scene of the little friends taking their pups out for a walk at the city park. I think it's so cute!

7 Kids Crafts: Annie and Sandy


Hello Everyone!

I hope you are having a lovely day. Here I'm sharing a card with the latest Sweet November Stamps release, this digital stamp is called: Coco and Pebble. The sentiment is from Penny Black Stamps.

When I first saw this image I was inspired by the hair and I had a few ideas in mind for her. One of the scenes I wanted to re-create was one from the 1982 movie called Annie. In the scene Annie beats up on some boys messing with a street dog, later they end up being great pals and she names him Sandy. I love that after rescuing him she says that she only did what any decent human being would have done. I resonate with that scene because I dislike when injustices are happening and nothing gets done. Another reason I like this scene was that all of the pets I've ever owned have been rescued from the street... oh yeah and the part that she sucker punches that one boy- that was too funny. hehe



Don't look too closely at the alleyway... 
I just wanted to fill the scene with color and show where
the event took place. I also drew the garbage can, the wood pallet,
the food cans (that the boys had tied to Sandy's tail.)


Colored up the entire image with 
Copic markers. 

Another this I wanted to mention is that there are
new clear stamps and dies released at

7 Kids Crafts: Journaling Mochi Girl

Hello Everyone!

Hoping you've had a lovely day. Just sharing the card I created using this lovely Journaling Mochi Girl by StampingBella. I love how serene she looks journaling in her lovely and feminine space. The sentiment set is also from StampingBella and it's called Mochi Girl Sentiment Set eb938 that I stamped with VersaFine Clair Tulip Red. I loved framing her space by fussy cutting papers by Mintay Papers called Love Letters. It's a new brand that Kelly is carrying in the store so there are lots to chose from. For a slightly more vintage effect I distressed some of the edges of the Mintay Papers that I fussy cut.

Here's the card. :D

7 Kids Crafts: Anything Goes ATC Jan 2020

Hello Everyone,


Hoping all is well and that you are getting artsy and crafty. These are the Artist Trading Cards I started a while ago and just had them unfinished. I was delighted to read that 7 Kids Crafts was going to have an "Anything Goes" theme so I happily finished them up. Oh what a happy feeling to finish up old projects. The little Lavinia door stamp is called Fairy Door Large. I also use other small stamps from The Greeting Farm, C.C. Designs and from Studio Light to add to the scene or background. The little fairy inside is a vault image from Sweet November that I shrank to fit inside of the little fairy door.




All of the little doors open and close to reveal a little Sweet November fairy. 
I am sure you can try it out with one of the tiny Lavinia stamps but I don't have any 
that are really small.


I hope you like these Artist Trading Cards.
I am so excited to see which ones I get back. :D
