Yankee Belle Stamper

Hello crafters... Hope you're having a great weekend. The inlaws took our son for the night so the hubby and I have been able to have a fun and relaxing weekend. We went to one of our favorite restaurants (P.F. Changs) and had tons of dynamite shrimp. I just love their spicy shrimp! The best part of yesterday was being able to take a two hour nap! Anyone who's a parent can relate. Bahahaha! Today I'm sharing a card I made using the Lumberjack Love stamp set from Neat and Tangled. The images in this set are absolutely adorable with a capital "A"! I colored them in with my Copics and blended the background with distress inks to create a scene. What do you think? Thank you so much for stopping by and have a great rest of the weekend. It is supposed to be in the 60's today which is super warm for us! Until next time, Brandi

Good morning Crafters... I'm popping in this morning with a super fun card I created using Mama Elephants Tiny Heroes stamp set. This is literally one of my favorite sets of all time. The little super heroes are just the cutest and they threw in a couple of super hero animals too. The sentiments are great for lifting spirits type of card, or just to let someone know how awesome they are. As far as super heroes go, my 2 year old son has become obsessed with them lately. He is so into this cartoon called PJ Masks and this weekend we bought him the action figures. He won't let them go. He takes them to daycare, around the house and to bed. We have to give his little action figures kisses when we give our son kisses...honestly it's pretty cute. That's it for me today. Hope you enjoy the card and until next time... Brandi

Hello crafty friends... I'm back today with a sweet card using Mama Elephant's Bear Hug stamp set . The sentiment with this image is great for a Papa Bear or Mama Bear. I colored the bears using Copic markers. I've been working on my Copic coloring skills and trying to grow my marker collection. I'm so addicted to Copics because they blend so well! What is your favorite medium to use when coloring? Besides Copics, I absolutely love using Zig Clean Color Markers. Until next time... Brandi

Hello my crafty friends! It's been so quiet around here for months! Too many of them! My last post was in October and since then I've been so busy with major changes in my personal life. Things are finally starting to settle down and I've been having the itch to create again. What are the major changes you maybe wondering? Building of a new home, moving into home and last but not least...a new bun in the oven! That's right! The hubby and I are expecting a baby girl this summer to add to our little toddler son! My life has been a whirlwind of sorts! So back to the reason you guys stopped by...the card! I created this card using the adorable Be a Unicorn stamp set from Avery Elle. The thing I love most about this set is that there are little designs that can be added to the Unicorn's tush similar to My Little Pony from the 80's! Oh how I loved those dolls! I hope some of my readers are still out there and if you are...thank you for sticking with me! Un...

Good Morning Crafters... I was able to create some over the weekend and practice a little on my Copic skills. I bought a hex chart from Sandy Allnock that can be found here . I filled it out a while ago with the few markers I have. I'm slowly building my collection through online crafty spots and Michaels. I always refer to this chart for colors that work well together for blending. I stamped a few flowers from Winnie and Walters Addie's Garden stamp set  and practiced my color blending. What do you think? Next, I created a fun little baby card with my distress inks and Copics. I used images and sentiments from Mama Elephants Potted Pretties and Sunday Sentiments stamp sets.  I hope you've enjoys stopping by for a little dose of inspiration! Until next time... Brandi

Hey y'all... I wanted to share some fun Copic colored images and a card with you today. I received this fun stamp set from a fellow crafter and couldn't wait to ink the images up. The stamp set is called Alpine Carolers by Mama Elephant. There are so many cute scenes to be made with these little guys! I started off by coloring a few with some Copic markers to get the color scheme down. I then cut out a few by hand and placed them on this fun winter scene with background landscape dies by Mama Elephant. What do you think? Can't you just hear them singing away! Do any of you have this set and have created with it? If so, can you add a link in the comment section of your card? I'd love to pop by and get a new perspective on how to use them and leave you some love! Until next time! Brandi

Hey y'all... Thank you all so much for the recent comments...I just love hearing from each of you! Are you getting tired of my Mama Elephant cards using the Pretend Play and Words Defined sets? I hope not! I am so in love with Mama Elephant stamps! I'm telling you they are some of the cutest stamps out there. I colored in this cute little girl with my Zig Clean Color markers. I'm hoping one day to practice with my Copics. I bought a few and am slowly learning how to blend. Do you favor Zig or Copic more? Until next time... Brandi
