Honey Happy Birthday

Hello Ruby here and today is my turn to share a little something I created using "Honey" from the Winter 2013 Saturated Canary line.  

This front card measures about 7 1/2 x 7 1/2 and I have colored her with Spectrum Noir markers. It has many layers of bright shic paper to compliment miss Honey.


I had to give her a sweet pretty punk look to go with her attitude lol! Look at the way she stands....so adorable. You could find her at the Little Darlings store along with many other must have rubber. I'm going to have to give her another coloring go with my Distress Inks.

I'm sharing her solo for a better glance at her details. That bunny is so cute to top it off.

That's it for now for me and I'll be back soon. Enjoy the remainder of the week.

HUGS,

Bella

Hi everyone hope you are all well I have a card with a gorgeous Saturated Canary image to share today  she is called Bella and i have coloured her with distress inks I have used some of the scrummy new  papers designed by our very own Mindy this set is called Summer Sorbet i love the fact that although they are 12x12 the designs are small patterns so its perfect to chop up for cards and they are a really good weight so if like me you love to distress the edges they dont rip or buckle like a thinner paper does 



thank you so much for looking today

Love and Flowers


Hello there everyone! It's Sheri here...and today, I'm excited to share with you one of the cards that I made for Angie and the Little Darlings Booth at CHA. It features Little Lady Bug and she is certainly a favorite for so many of us!

CHA was incredibly exciting, not only because I was able to work along side my buddies, Angie, Mindy and Sharon (my daughter was even able to pay with us for a couple of days) but because it was so fantastic being apart of the Little Darlings success. The company along with Angie, her beautiful stamps and the gorgeous papers, Summer Sorbet and Fruit Basket created by our very own Mindy stole the show! In fact, the Little Darlings Booth won ANOTHER award! Such an honor!! A huge congratulations to you Angie!!

Thank you so much for visiting today! Stay tuned for another visit on Friday from our wonderful guest design team member Stephanie Hester.

What an amazing new release!!

Hey everyone! Sharon here! I had SUCH an amazing time at CHA working with everyone at  Little Darlings Rubber Stamps ! I hope you had a chance to see some of the photos of the gorgeous booth! It was filled with so much amazing and stunning inspiration by the LDRS designers! I truly couldn't believe I was fortunate enough to have my own cards mingled throughout! Here is one of the cards I created with the new CHA release stamps. This little cutie pie is called Lolli from the Cutie Pie line.





Along with the new stamp, I also used the GORGEOUS new paper collection also released at CHA called Summer Sorbet! These papers were designed by the wickedly talented Mindy Baxter. As I teach card classes, I am constantly on the search for 12 x 12 paper with a smaller pattern that can be cut down to use for cards without losing all the wonderful detail of the papers. Mindy designed these papers with that exact thing in mind! I LOVE this paper! I also used one of the new sentiments from Friendship Sentiments, also by Mindy! Thanks so much for stopping by to visit today, and hope you come back again soon! Hugs

What a Sweetheart!

Hello Little Darlings friends!
It is Sheri here and 
I hope that the New Year is treating you well.
The Little Darling team has been working furiously on Little Darlings projects for the Craft Hobby Association Show.
If you're going to be there ...please stop by our booth,  #1913 to check out all the beautiful items Angie has coming your way and please...say hi!! ! It's going to be a fun year!!

Today, we have a super sweet card from our wonderful guest designer, Stephanie Hester of My Little Card Shack .

My name is Stephanie and I'm thrilled to be a guest designer here at Little Darlings Stamps challenge blog. For my creation today I chose to use What a Sweetheart  as my image. I also decided to use the no lines technique. I used a light color to stamp my image with and then colored her with Copics. The papers are the new digital papers from Mindy's Etsy shop and the heart cutout along with the oval cutout were done using my Silhouette.
 
 
Thank you Stephanie!! Your no lines coloring of What a Sweetheart is SO fabulous!!

Valentine Petals

Hello there!! It's Sheri here...and I am thrilled to announce another guest design team member. It's Eulanda Silvey of  Cards and More Cards!! Eulanda's work is amazing... as you are about to see!!

I was so excited to be able to play with this cute image from Little Darlings called "Valentines Petals" and she comes with 3 fun sentiments.  She is ADORABLE!  I used my Copics to color and I was a little freaked out because I've never used this color combo before EVER but it was FUN!!!

I cut all 3 hearts using a few different Tim Holtz Movers & Shapers dies and covered them with patterned paper then distressed them.  The red hearts with a white bow were wood buttons from Prima that had a different pattern on them.  They didn't match properly so I colored them up using Color box chalk and wow that wood sure soaked up the color nicely.  The black and white string is also from Tim Holtz.  Then, I went a little crazy with my favorite embellishment flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.  Can you ever have too many flowers?  Not in my craft room!! 

Thank you Eulanda! She is so ...incredibly CUTE!!

Best Wishes Tag

I used Chocolate Covered Cherry papers, one of  Little Darlings Rubber Stamps collections. I layered them up and rip distressed the edges. 


I coloured up my image with copic markers, trimmed her out and mounted her on to the tag with 3D foam dots. I also added some die cuts, which have also been mounted on 3D foam for extra dimension. 

The sentiment I've used is from the All Occasions collection.

Hair - E21, E23, E27, E29
Shirt/Bow - R24, R43, R46
