Stamp Anniething Carley the Cupid

Hello friends,  Happy Hump day!  This week is flying by so fast.  I am not complaining at all, I am ready for the weekend.  Today I want to share a couple of projects I completed using Stamp Anniething's Carley the Cupid.   I am apart of Stamp Anniething's monthly stamp club and as an added benefit this month we received this cute image and a SVG cutting files (linked here).  I have to say I am loving this cute digi image we received.  We also got a chance to watch a Facebook live color along with one of the design team members, Stephen.  Now that was pretty cool to watch!   As I was watching Stephen color,  I colored up four of these cuties and created some cards.  I want to share two of those cards with you today.

I cut out the cutting files and the tag shaped digi using my cricut explorer air 2 which made creating these cards super easy.  I created the background for the first card using the heart stencil from Craftin Desert Divas.  I wanted to add some additional details to the layers so I used the stitched rectangle dies from my creative time to add the stitching details.  With the second card, I added the doily embossed layer instead of hearts. Both images were colored using my copic markers.

Copic Colors used:

Skin: E18, 15, 13, 11

Hair: E49, 47, 43

Pink: R85, 83, 81

I decided to use the new Matilda and Godrey designer paper from Photo Play to create my treat box.  I colored the image using copics and cut her out using a stitched oval die from my favorite things. I die cut the scalloped treat box from Jaded Blossom.  I layered a web die cut from La La Land crafts behind the image.  The fence is also from La La Land Crafts and I layered those behind the image as well.  I added some treats to a bag and tied the bag using some cute spider ribbon.  I finished the treat box off by adding the sentiment from Jaded Blossom.

Papernest Dolls Ellie with Scarecrow

Today I am sharing a z-fold box card using Papernest Dolls Ellie with Scarecrow.  She is too cute and a great addition for any fall projects.  I had so much fun creating this card to showcase Ellie with Scarecrow.

I colored both images using copics and used my brother scan and cut to cut out the images.  I decided to use doodle bug flea market paper collection for this card.  This paper collection just went perfect with this cutie.   I used various die cuts from jaded blossom to layer through-out the card.  I stamped the sentiment out and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder.  I placed the sentiment in the wooden barrel with the other layered die cuts.
