You are Too Tweet! for Tiddly Inks and We Are 3

Tiddly Inks and We Are 3 -- 2 Tweet companies that I'm posting for today.  Bonnie Kohane, the owner of We Are 3 Digital Shop, gave me a gift certificate for Tiddly Inks for Christmas because she knew  I liked to color up cute images, and cute dogs (there are some awesome ones at Tiddly Inks!).  Since one of the new releases this month at We Are 3 Digital Shop is the Vintage Bird paper collection, I thought I would pick a digi stamp to color up that would work well to go with the paper.  This is the image I chose.  Before I even got it colored, Christy announced a design team call at Tiddly Inks, and I just have to give it a try!  When I first started learning how to color with Copic markers quite a few years ago now, Tiddly Inks were some of the first images I learned on.  I've loved Tiddly Inks ever since.

Here's Wryn and Wren Too Tweet:

I colored Wryn and Wren Too Tweet with Copic markers, and used the sentiment that comes with the set. 

As I mentioned above, the papers on this card are from We Are 3 Digital Shop.  They are from one of this month's New Releases, Vintage Bird paper collection.  These are beautiful papers in soft pinks, peaches, browns, and tans, with hints of green. 

I constructed the card using a Spellbinders label die set.  The lace was purchased at Hobby Lobby, and the peacock colored crinkle ribbon is from the D.L. Art Etsy Store.  I won it from a challenge at D.L. Art.  Thank you, Diana!!!

I hope you have enjoyed Wryn and Wren.  I certainly enjoyed coloring them up, working with these beautiful papers, and making them into a card!

I'm Cute -- Stella Says Sketch at Bugaboo

The 9th birthday party continues at Bugaboo Stamps! Today, a Stella Says Sketch challenge is beginning, and the monster theme continues at Catch the Bug. 

I'll show you my card first, then the sketch Stella has us using.  The stamp I used is My Lil Monster Cute:

I colored My Lil Monster Cute with Copic markers and found an old paper stack from My Mind's Eye where the paper colors matched the monster. The sentiment is part of the My Lil Monster Cute set. 

Here's the sketch for today's challenge:

As you can see, I followed that sketch pretty darn closely.  No need to be too creative! I'll leave that up to you!

I hope you can join in on the 9th birthday celebration at Bugaboo Stamps.  You'll find all the fun all week long at Catch the Bug Challenges.

Winter Hello Card -- for Dies R Us

Winter greetings, fellow crafters!  I'm on the Dies R Us Inspiration blog today with a card featuring one of my favorite birds -- the cardinal.  Seeing them against pristine white snow takes my breath away.  It's one of the things I love about winter!
I have a winter card to share today, with my favorite cardinal featured front and center:

Here's a picture of the supplies I used, and I'll link them at the end of this post:

The cardinal is a die from Frantic Stamper.  I used the smaller one on this card.  Here are all the pieces cut, but not assembled:

Here are the other die cuts, before they are assembled.  Aren't they pretty?

I glued everything together with The Best Glue Ever.  It worked very well for these intricate die cuts!

Papers on this card are from We Are 3 Digital Shop.  They are one of January's new releases.  They are part of the Vintage Bird Paper Collection. 

Dies R Us products used on this card:

Let the party begin! Today starts a weeklong party at Catch The Bug Blog and Bugaboo Stamps. It's the 9th annual birthday bash and it's a Monster Mash! You'll be seeing a monstrously good amount of fun all week long!  Follow along for a whole week of challenges (and tons of prizes!!!) at the Catch the Bug blog. 

The party starts with the usual Saturday challenge, and the theme is Monster Party!  I made this monster card to start the fun, using Monster Birthday Balloon:

I colored Monster Birthday Balloon with Copic markers.  I found some bright, fun birthday papers at AMB Illustrations that screamed Monster Party to me.  The dies I used are from Whimsy Stamps.  The sequins are from Close To My Heart.  The sentiment was computer generated.  

Alright!  Let's get this party started!  Get going on your monster projects and link them up at Catch the Bug Challenges.

Snow Much Happiness -- for Di's Digi Designs Challenges

It's Saturday, and it's the start of the first challenge of the year at Di's Digi Designs Challenge Blog. The theme for this first challenge is "Snow Much Fun" -- perfect for winter cards and projects!

I used the darling Snowman & Robin digi to create this:

I colored Snowman & Robin with Copic markers.  The sentiment was computer generated onto a Close To My Heart banner die. 

Papers on this card are from We Are 3 Digital Shop.  They are from  the Newly Released Snowmen Paper Collection.

The snowflake die is from Cheery Lynn, and it's one of my favorites.

Snow Days are the Best Days -- for Kinda Cute by Patricia Alvarez

Snow Days!  They are one of my favorite things of winter.  I also love snowmen! I combined 2 of my favorite things on this card featuring snowmen and papers from Kinda Cute by Patricia Alvarez. 

This darling image is Snowmen Looking at the Stars digital stamp. 

I colored Snowmen Looking at the Stars with Copic markers.  Papers on this card are also from Kinda Cute By Patricia Alvarez. I used papers from 4 different collections -- the Blue Christmas papers (light blue snowflakes) , the Bright Christmas (red with papers (red with white dots), Red & Black Love Collection (red hearts) and the Red and Blue Basics papers (blue paper with white stars).

The sentiment is a New Release this month from We Are 3 Digital Shop. It is part of the Snow Days Sentiment Set. 

I used this week's sketch from Sketch Saturday on this card.  I'm glad they are back at it after their Christmas break! Here's the sketch I used:
