I have always loved the Tim Holtz "crazy" series of stamps and accessories. So for my card today, I decided to use the Crazy Dogs and Crazy Things to create an Easter card for my parents featuring a look-alike of one of my pups!  This is actually funny because I did try and put Minnie Mouse ears on my golden and this is pretty much the look she gave me... lol! 

I started by stamping my dog and bunny ears on Neena solar white 80lbs cardstock so that I could color the images with my Copic markers.  I used the accompanying Framelits to die cut both the dog and the ears. My own girl has a daisy name tag, so I added a flower from my stash to the collar.

I then chose some Lawn Fawn Easter accessories (Eggs and Jube Jubes) and stamped them in Easter pastel colors.

I embossed my panel with a polka dot embossing folder from my stash and I glued the eggs first, then added my dog and ears and finished by adding the various Jube Jubes to the front.  I chose a Happy Easter sentiment also by Lawn Fawn and embossed it on one of the new wavy banners. I decided to cut it in two pieces, it simply looked better on the cardfront.

I then added some Pretty Pink Posh Sparkling Clear Sequins to finish everything off!

Simon Says: Anything Goes featuring Stampendous!

Happy Wednesday crafty friends that means it's time for a new Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge!

For my project this week, I could not resist the Stampendous Sloth Cling stamp set. I am in love with Sloths and Otters, I can't get enough of them! I also (probably due to green being my favorite color) love a good jungle theme! 

I started by trimming my Neena 80lbs card panel to 4 x 5.25 and stamping my sloth using my stamp positioning tool. Once he was stamped on my panel, I looked through my stash for "filler" leaves and/or vines. I decided to go with he Mama Elephant Swinging Borders and the Hello Bluebird Jungle Littles to fill in my greenery.

Once the stamping was complete, I colored all of my images with my Copic markers. I decided once again, to add some clouds (yes, after coloring all of my images) with my trusty MFT Stencil Cloud and Salty Ocean Distress Ink. Once that was complete I decided the panel was missing a little something so I took my Simon Says Stamp Craft Frame Dies from the This is the Life release and die cut my panel with the thin frame die. I also used the same die to die cut some Tonic gold mirror cardstock (entirely inspired my Nichol Spohr).

I placed all of my frames on my card base and pieced them together. To finish off I used my Birch Press Hugs die with black glitter paper and a Lawn Fawn accompanying sentiment from the Hang In there stamp set. I then added some black and white gel pen detail to my Sloth!
