A cute CAS birthday card featuring a Copic coloured Tiddly Inks clear stamps image. Post includes Copic Marker Colour Palette.

Monteverde is one of my favorite ink brands. Every time they release a new collection I get excited and can’t wait to try them out. When I attended the San Francisco Pen Show in August, YAFA (Monteverde’s US distributor) had the new Sweet Life collection for a really great show price and I immedia

Hey there! Just a quick pop in to let y'all know that the Fairwee candies are still open through tonight for a chance at winning. And today is also the official Fairwee preview on the ATS blog so you'll want to be sure and get in the drawing over there to win the entire release! Then tonight is the big night that they will all become available in the ATS store, woot, woot! My card today is an A2 size (41/4"x51/2") and hopefully you can get an idea of the smaller size of these new stamps. I have wanted some quick and easy to color images for the Sweet November line for quite awhile and the Fairwees are what I came up with for that. Because sometimes I find myself short on crafting time but still want to get in and play so I like having some smaller, less time intensive stamps to choose from. :) Alrighty then, time for me to scoot... hope you are wrapping up a wonderful weekend!

Broken Wing Tiddly Inks

Hello Crafty Peeps, It's been a busy time this month and I haven't given myself much time for crafting apart from design team projects. I knew I wanted to make something with this adorable image from Sweet November Stamps as soon as I saw it though, so while the kids were amusing themselves I got on with colouring.  'Sale-abration Fairwee' is excited to be going on a shopping spree for her friends and maybe a little something for herself too! Her background is of twinkling stars and rainbow colours as she's shopping in a magical land. She is so happy, that she's leaving a rainbow trail behind her as she flies. She has her magic gold Weesa card at the ready! The tag holds a little surprise... Thanks for stopping by today. I wish you a fantastic festive season. {Crafty Hugs} Products used: Kraft card blank Cardstock Tag and banner dies Die cut star background Distress Inks - Mustard Seed, Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade & Peacock Feathers Distress Oxides - Clover Leaf, Wilted Violet & Fired Brick Papermania Gems Twine ProMarkers - Raw Sienna, Gold, Sunflower, Yellow, Red, Lipstick Red, Bright Orange, Mango, Lemon, Green, Mint Green, True Blue, Sky Blue, Indigo, French Navy, Violet, Lilac, Powder Blue, Tea Green, Coral, Dusky Pink, Oatmeal, Almond, Pink Pearl, Wild Orchid, Holly, Lush Green, Burnt Orange, Spice & Walnut Prismacolor Pencils - Mulberry & Blush Pink Posca Paint Pen - White Gel Pens I am entering my card into the following challenges: Pammie's Inky Pinkies - #2151 ATG Simon Says (Wednesday) - Bling It On Passion For Markers - WK621 ATG Mega Christmas Challenge The Corrosive Challenge - #12 ATG The Crafter's Cafe - #280 Favourites (rainbows & bling)

Hello there! The mail must have been running quickly this month because my Sweet November Stamps March PenPal has already received her card, and she is all the way over in the EU. So that means I get to share the card that I made for her and the theme for this month's swap was fairies. With no shortage of cute fairies to choose from, I finally settled on Fairy Tia from the A Fairy Cute Day digi collection. I paired Tia. with Beezer, from the Bud and Beezer digi set and a flower to perch on, from the Rose and Gerbera Daisy Background set. I let myself play with my favorite color, orange, to create a bright and happy scene for these magical friends. Hopefully this card was like a little ray of sunshine when my PenPal opened up the envelope. :) Have a good one! Supply list: cardstock- Papertrey Ink and Copic X-Press It digi stamps- Sweet November (Fairy Tia, Bud and Beezer and Rose and Gerbera Daisy Background set) stamps- The Greeting Farm (sentiment) ink- Papertrey Ink orange zest My Favorite Things A2 stitched rectangle stax set 2 Doodlebug enamel shapes Sharpie extra fine white pen Spectrum Noir clear glitter pen Copic markers: skin- E000, E00, E11, E04, R00, R20 hair- E33, E35, E37, E79 clothes/wings- V01, Y00, Y11, Y13, Y15, YG23, YG67, YR04, YR18, Y02, Y15, Y17/YG0000, YG00 flower- Y17, YR04, YR18, YG03, YF17, G46, BG99 bee- Y00, Y11, Y13, YR24, E44, E47, E49/YR30, YR31/E23, E25, E27 sky- B0000, B000, B00, B01, B12, B14, C0, 0 background- YG03, YG25, YG63, G94, G24, YR04/YG13, YG45

Hello friends! There's a new digital stamp release at Sweet November Stamps today and we are once again adding to the popular cookie collections with Birthday Cookies. There are three bundles of fun cookies, each includes four individually decorated cookies, plus a numbers cookie set that adds on to previously released alphabet set. Cookie set 1 includes a cupcake, party hat, animal balloon and birthday candle. Cookie set 2 has a balloon, party bunting, a tall gift and excited boy. And Cookie set 3 includes a square gift, bunch of balloons, slice of cake and excited girl. For my first card I've arranged two birthday candle cookies with the slice of cake cookie on the baking sheet. A mix of letters and the number 2 create a shorthand birthday message that I then built upon with the rest of the greeting once the scene was all colored up. I used a mix of a die cut word along with the new Birthday's are the Best clear set that was recently added to the store. If you would like to watch the coloring of this card there is a short Reel on Instagram and a longer speed coloring will be added to the Sweet November Stamps YouTube channel. Next, I placed the party hat cookie, cupcake cookie, balloon animal cookie and bunch of balloons cookie all together on the cooling rack and colored them in bright girly colors that would be perfect for a sweet sixteen party. I used a pretty script font birthday die and colored it with my Copic markers to match the bright pink frosting on the cookies, then added another sentiment from the Birthday's are the Best set to complete the card. For my third and final card I piled the tall gift cookie with the square gift cookies into the bottom of the baking sheet, while the single balloon cookie balances them up at the top. This time I went with a sweet pastel color palette that would get any little girl excited for a special birthday treat. Another die cut combo along with the Birthday's are the Best set completes this festive scene. Now be sure to check out the Friends of Sweet November Stamps group on Facebook for even more Birthday Cookie deliciousness from the rest of our talented design team. Also, don't forget, I will be coloring Live today at 11am PST over on my Adventures in Coloring with Amy Facebook page and I hope to see ya there!

Hello Crafty Peeps, The kiddoes are back to school now, so I have a bit more time to myself for crafting! Sweet November Stamps are having a challenge in their Facebook group with a theme of shakers, so I thought I would make a shaker tag as I usually only make cards.  'Candy Cane Fairy' is the perfect size for a tag. I coloured her all in traditional candy cane colours and encased the tag in cellophane for the shaker elements. I also added loose glitter, so naturally that went all over me too!! Thanks for stopping by today. Be sure to come back soon! {Crafty Hugs} Products used: Cardstock Tag die Eyelet Twine Sequins Glitter Wink of Stella - Clear Posca Paint Pen - White ProMarkers - Grass, Apple, Meadow green, Cinnamon, Tan, Dusky Pink, Almond, Chocolate, Cocoa, Saddle Brown, Forest Green, Cool Grey 1-3, Cardinal Red, Poppy, Red + Powder Blue Prismacolor Pencils - Black, Dark Brown, Tuscan Red & Poppy Red I am entering my tag into the following challenges: Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge - #554 ATG The Corrosive Challenge - #9 ATG Crafts Galore Encore - #115 ATG Crafty Catz - #649 ATG I♥Promarkers - #542 ATG
