Birthday Girl Card

   Hello, friends!

It's Nancy back with a fun new card!

I just had to make another card, using the final girl on this stamp set:

Woodware UK Stamp Set - Girlie Fun

It is just the sweetest set,
and pairs beautifully with the BoBunny Believe Collection. 

Here's my card:

Such a sweet image! 
It reminds me of my daughter! 

She loves to roller skate!

I chose the fun striped paper,

and then colored her up to match.

I chose the purple for the matt and the card base.

I stamped the sentiment and punched it out.
I matted it with a purple scalloped punch.

Finally, I added both the image and sentiment to the card front with foam tape.

It's another really cheerful card,
using a great combination of stamps and papers!

Just For You Card

      Hello, friends!

It's Nancy, here with my weekly project!

I've made another card using the adorable 
Woodware UK Stamp Set - Mary and Friends!

Here's my card:

Isn't she sweet?

Again, it's just some simple stamping, coloring, and layering!

This time I chose my background paper first,

and then colored my image to match.

All the layers are adhered flat for easy mailing.

This is such a fun stamp set to play with!

The combination of papers and stamps make such a cheerful card!

For A Special Girl Card

  Hello, friends!

It's Nancy here today with a fun new card.

I've gone back to this adorable stamp set that I have previously used:

Woodware UK Stamp Set - Girlie Fun

It is just the sweetest set,
and pairs beautifully with the BoBunny Believe Collection. 

I began by adding the pretty rainbow paper to my white card base.

I then stamped, colored, and fussy cut the sweet image.

I also stamped the sentiment.

I used foam tape to adhere them both to the card.

  

Here's a closer look at the fun image.
To finish things off, I added some Nuvo Crystal Drops in white,
to denote the bouncing movement.

I'm having the best time using this sweet stamp set.
I'll be sharing another card with it soon!

Friendship Card

     Hello, my friends!

It's Nancy back with my weekly project share!

I've made another card using the adorable 
Woodware UK Stamp Set - Mary and Friends!
I'm calling this one a friendship card!

Here's my card:

Just some simple stamping, colouring, and layering!

I thought the pretty heart paper was just the right background!

The sentiment is part of the stamp set.
The sweet little ribbon bow is the only embellishment needed.

Such a fun image to colour,
and a great card to send out to a friend!

 I'm having so much fun playing with this stamp set and paper pad!

You'll actually be seeing more of both very soon!

"A Friend..." Memorydex Scripture Card

 Happy Tuesday, friends!

It's Nancy here with a new project share!

 This week I am sharing another Memorydex Scripture Card.
If you missed my first Scripture Cards, you will find them HERE!

 I always enjoy using Scripture verses in my projects.
They can offer instruction, comfort, or food for thought.
For the base of my card, I again used one of the Heidi Swapp Memorydex File Cards.

Here's the front of my card:

As always, the front of my card contains the Bible reference of my verse.
I also added a cute stamp, that coordinates with the main stamp I used on the other side. 

I also used some fun papers, and added some white Nuvo Drops.

Here's the back of my card: 

Here I used the main stamp and some more great papers.

I also added some more fun Nuvo Drops.

I always like to hand-write my Scripture verse and reference.
I find that it really helps me remember them.

A true friend really does love at all times!

Please be a friend to someone today! :o)

Just For You Card

    Hello, my friends!

It's Nancy back with my weekly project for White Rose Crafts LLC.  

 This time I made a very simple card.
It's an easy one to mail out to a friend
because it doesn't have any bulky embellishments!

Here's my card:

Isn't she sweet?

She's from a fun Woodware Stamp Set called Mary and Friends.

I started with a gold coloured cardstock card base.

To the front of the card I added this cheerful paper from the BoBunny Believe Collection.

I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.

I did some simple colouring with my Spectrum Noir Markers.

I had stamped a variety of images onto my white cardstock,

and roughly cut them apart, as I intended to fussy cut them out.

When I saw the shape of this image I decided to leave it as is.

I thought the angle added some interest, so I just matted it,
and adhered it in place with foam tape.

The sentiment is included in the stamp set. 
I matted it and used more foam tape to adhere it in place.

Just a simple card that was lots of fun to make!

Exploring Nuvo Creative Markers

Hey everyone! I want to invite you over to White Rose Crafts Facebook page tonight, March 9th at 7pm EST. I will be going live and exploring Nuvo Creative Markers and sharing some coloring techniques with them and how they compare and contrast to copics.

One of the samples I will be coloring up is this Woodware UK's Happy Easter stamp set. I have colored both of these samples with both copics and Nuvo Creative Markers. Can you tell which is which?

This is the sample colored in Nuvo Creative Markers. I have also used LemonCraft Daydream paper pack to finish the card as well as Kaisercraft Sympathy Words. (The copic card also used LemonCraft Daydream paper pack, but it uses Technique Tuesday's You Did It stamp set.)

                                      Copics are on the right, Nuvo on the Left.

You have to let me know which of the two is your favorite in the comments below.

Another one of the sample I will be coloring up tonight is AALL & Create's Squeaky Friends stamp set. I will be sharing how to not only color the images, but how to create atmosphere and grass.

To create this duo of colored cards, I used the Wild Rose Studio Antique Library paper pack and sentiments from the Squeaky Friends stamp set.

                          Nuvo Markers are on the Left, Copic on the Right

Again, let me know which of the two is your favorite in the comments below.

Make sure you tune in tonight to the LIVE, because these are only a sample of the images I have pulled to color. Looking forward to seeing and interacting you you tonight. Until then, happy crafting.

Angels Descending

Well, there is just one more sleep till Christmas Day, so it seemed only fitting for my project today to feature an Angel who could and would watch over a new born king. I thought this angel from Woodware UK Angel Voices stamp set was perfect to watch over a sleeping child.

I started by stamping out the Angel Voices main image onto some white cardstock with Memento Dye Ink in Tuxedo Black.

I colored the images with Nuvo Creative Pens. I used a combination of Depth & Shadow, Fair Skin Tones, Hazy Mauves, Emerald Seas, Rich Reds, and Pebble Beach. I then fussy cut out the image.

To construct the card frame, I pulled a collection of papers from the Wild Rose Studio Antique Library paper pack. I then trimmed them up to different sizes. Adhere the papers to an A2 card frame.

I then stamped a sentiment from the Angel Voices stamp set onto the card frame in both brown and black ink.

I stamped background images onto the card frame using images from the Angel Voices stamp set in both black and brown ink.

Finally I added drops to the card frame from both Dovecraft Glitter Glue in Blossom and Nuvo Craft Drops in Antique Rose.

As we wait till the last sleep before Christmas, I wish upon you Peace & Love, blessing of healing, and of course a Merry Christmas.

What is your Christmas Wish this year? Let me know in the comments below. Until then, happy crafting!

Quick Holiday Tags

So I have realized I am seriously short gift tags this year, so I thought I would whip up a few quickly. I am just loving how the Woodware UK Cross Stitched Christmas stamp set from White Rose Crafts made creating these gift tags so quickly.

I started by pulling out four gift tags, and stamping each of the four images onto the tag using Distress Oxide. For the Tree I used Bundled Sage. The stocking got a dabbing of Stormy Sky. The heart was stamped with Abandoned Coral and for the reindeer I used Brushed Corduroy.

Then, using my stamping platform, I stamped the needle and thread and sentiment onto the tag using VersaFine Black Onyx. I did commit the crafting sin, and snipped the sentiment so I could put it on two lines. Totally worth it.

I hand stamped a heart button onto each tag using Aged Mahogany.

I added a trimmed piece of gold ribbon from the Scrapberry "Seaside" Ribbon collection. I also added a bit of a shadow to each heart button using a black pen.

I love how simple these were to create but how cute they turned out. I also adore the fact that since I snipped the sentiment I can use the heart and 'sew happy' sentiment all year long for all my embroidery friends! Let me know in the comments below how you would use this sewing theme stamp set. Until then, Happy Crafting.
