Card Share using Copics, Digital Stamps and Scrapbuck Goodies

Hi Everyone!

It has been a worldwind two weeks for me. It has been crazy busy as I have started to sell some of my items on Tophatter.com. I have come to realize that using that type of venue it takes alot more of my time then say Etsy. I am still using Etsy as my main store though. I like the format of Etsy better for sales of a more permanent nature and building repeat customers for sure. I love all of my Etsy customers. I enjoy creating the custom items so much that there is no way I could ever stop!

Tophatter for me is a source of instant gratification. I like that I can place an item in standby and know that if it gets advanced that it will be a sale for sure. I need that because as many of you know, this is my job. It is the way I help out with the bills and make sure that we can afford for Haley to play softball on a higher level travel team.

So, now that you all know what I have been up to for the past 2 weeks.. I want to share with you a card that I created using some of the goodies that I received with my 25$ gift card from Scrapbuck.com. As many of you know that follow me on YouTube, I am doing a giveaway on my channel for Scrapbuck.com. So, if you aren't a subscriber of my channel you can find me as JulieWalters74 or just click on my name and it will take you to my channel so that you can get in on this great giveaway!

So without further ado, here are a few of the photos of my newest card. 

 I used Scrapbucks TPC Cupcake paper as one of the backgrounds and for the flowers on my card. You will also see the "It's the little things" pink brads as the flower centers and then I used them to close up a little bit of the blank space on the right hand side of the card.

 Here is a close up of my handcrafted flowers. I love making these curly flowers and I think they look really pretty in a little cluster around your focal image! I used Pro31 Designs leaf trim as little accents to the flowers. This is one of my favorite trims that Esmeralda sells. I hope you will check it out too!

I used Spellbinders Nestabilities in the Labels 19 to create the inside of the card. This is a great starter card I think for those of you who want to get into making cards but are intimidated. The design is easy and you can embellish with things that you have on hand. 

Thank you so much for stopping by. Don't forget to check out my YouTube channel and enter to win my Scrapbuck.com 50$ giftcard giveaway!

Super Cute Summer Card and Blog Hop Winner!

Hey Everyone! Today I have a super cute card to share with you and Of course as promised I have the Blog Hop Blog Candy winnner! Woohooo :D 

First though I have to share with you this super cute card I created using the Sweet Nothings Stamp Company digital image Beach Babe Sophie. She is so cute! 

 I used my Copics and Spectrum Noir markers to color her. I have been searching for a read hair combination that is similar to the color of my own hair and I think I finally found it. There is a gal on YouTube that did a video a week or so ago about using this color combination for reds and I just love it! You can find her Here.  Here YouTube name is 2tinytreasures. The colors that I used for the hair are YR04, YR18 and E09

From Pro31 Designs, I used the punchinello border to create a background on the patterened paper. I used Lindy's stamp gang Creme Brulee and pounced the dauber top over the punchinello to create a mottled background. I also used acrylic flowers from her show. You can find the pictures below in the links! 

For the inside of the card I again used the punchinello and created a mottled background on the cardstock. Then I cut out my greeting using an EK success punch. I used my Copic R22 marker and blew very hard on it causing the ink to spray out and splatter the paper! . I also used a few champagne colored bling from my stash! 

Here are the colors I used to create this card! 

I want to congratulate the winner of the blog candy! You can find her name in the video that is directly below! :)
