Hugs and Kisses - Crafter's Companion

Just a quick post today to share a happy card I created for Crafter's Companion - Hugs and Kisses!  It turned out so sweet and sunny.

I used the adorable stamp from Moonbeam Meadow called Hugs and Kisses, colored it up with my Spectrum Noir Markers, inked the edge with some matching Distress Ink, then put it on a cute die cute called Cameo Frame.  Some coordinating papers made it easy to put this one together.

I think this should be in some challenges:

Chocolate, Coffee & Cards - use a die cut
Crafty Catz - animal magic
Through the Craft Room Door - anything goes

The Crafter's Companion supplies I used are:

Stamps - Moonbeam Meadow - Hugs and Kisses
Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers - TN1, TN2, IG1, GB5, TB1, TB2, TB3, FS2, FS6, FS8, BG2, BG1, BG4, DG1, DG2, CG2, PP1, PP3
Die'Sire Decorative Die - Cameo frame

Thanks for stopping by Kaboo Designs!

Smell the flowers - Crafter's Companion

Life has really gotten in the way lately - between car problems, volleyball clinics to teach, overtime at work, watching the adorable granddaughter and buy new cars, my crafting time has been limited... and apparently so has my blogging time.  Hoping things settle down a little bit this weekend and that I can actually crack open the door of my craftroom on Sunday!

I wanted to share this make this you today... I realized when I posted the pic that it doesn't show any of the dimension of the card - so you are going to have to picture this for me... the circle is actually cut out and the floral image is behind the window.  The flowers are all three dimensional, with a second layer added on top of the stamped image.  Sorry the pic isn't better.

I completed this card using a stamp called Fusia from from the Art Kure Britain in Bloom collection.  Such a beautiful image.  I colored it with my Spectrum Sparkle markers in Moonstone, Inspired Violet, Amethyst, Pink Garnet, Cosmos, Holly Leaf, and Emerald Green.  The sentiment is from the Moonbeam Meadow - Time Out stamp set.

I would like to enter this into some challenges:

A Bit More Time to Craft - anything goes

Craft Your Passion - anything goes

Through the Craftroom Door - anything goes

Thanks for dropping in!

Hugs,

Sit Back and Relax - Crafter's Companion

It's the first week of January already, and I'm back from the holidays with a new card for Crafter's Companion.  This one features the adorable image from Moonbeam Meadow called Time Out.  I colored it up with my Spectrum Noir pens (IG1, BGR3, BGR1, TB1, DG2, CG1, TN2, PP3, LV1, CG2, BG2, BG1, BG4, FS6, FS2, CR10, LV2, FS3, EB2) and used the Embossalicious Chevron embossing folder from Die'Sires to create the frame for this little mouse fishing.  I used a sentiment from the same stamp set to add the finishing touch.

I will be throwing this card into some blog challenges:

Incy Wincy Designs - challenge
Stamping Sensations - anything goes w/ a die
A Bit More Time to Craft - anything goes
4 Crafty Chicks - anything goes

That's it for me tonight - I'll be back later this week with more!

Hugs,
Jodi

Angel card - Crafter's Companion

I love angels... in fact, I have a collection of them - no clue how many - but a lot!  They make me happy and remind me of all the loved ones that have gone before me, watching over me!  So when I joined the Crafter's Companion design team, the first image I was drawn to was this one... such a sweet little angel and I love the sentiment with it.  The stamp is called Peace Angel from Moonbeam Meadows Christmas stamps.

I colored it with distress inks and then added some sparkle with a fine glitter pen.  This would be done so easily now with the Spectrum Sparkle pens, but I didn't have them then... So, I had to work with what I had.  I used distress inks in a bunch of colors:  Scattered Straw, Tea Dye, Wild honey, Aged Mahogany, Brushed Corduroy, Stormy Sky, Weathered Wood, Spun Sugar, Tattered Rose and Pine Needles.

It turned out simple, but sweet.  I think I know exactly who will be getting this card.  A dear friend who shares my love of angels!

I think I'll enter this card in some challenges:

That Crafty Place - Christmas
Stamping Sensations - Anything goes w/ a stamp and ribbon
Just Add Ink - C = Christmas
Craft Your Passion - Anything goes
Through the Craft Room Door - Christmas

Thanks so much for stopping in.

Hugs,
Jodi
