This is my card:

Background paper is from DCWV.

Christmas Card Challenge # 43 - Christmas Cakes.

Welcome to a new Christmas Card Challenge!

 

We have an inspiration photo for you today:

 

 

In detail: Christmas Cakes!

 

I was more inspired by the theme than by the photo and made this card:

 

Aren't they lovely? My daughter and I try to make a new cake or type of cookie every week so this card is inspired by the two of us.

 

These adorable digi stamp is Baked with Love from 2CuteInk: I used my Copics to color it and a paper background from Papermania.

The lollipop is made with a stamp from Purple Onion while the sentiment is from a stamp kit I found in a magazine.

Isn't he sweet?

A Lucky Unicorn!

Good morning!

 

Here I am again with another new card:

 

 

It's Lucky Unicorn from 2 Cute Ink.

I've been in their team for a while and my daughter is a great fan of Heidi's digis so it's easy for me to reach for one of these cute images and make a card.

This unicorn inspired me a Best of Luck sentiment, everybody needs some luck every now and then, right?

 

I made a very simple card: a light blue card blank and the image, colored with Copics. Then, my favourite embellishments: hearts and pearls!

 

Bright and happy!

Christmas Card Challenge # 9 - Anything Goes.

Happy Sunday!

 

This means welcome to a new Christmas Card Challenge!

 

This week we have the easiest of themes: Anything Goes!

 

 

This is my card:

 

This cute snowman is from 2 Cute Ink and is called SnowBot.

I actually bought it for my daughter who loves 2 Cute Ink but I couldn't keep myself from using it for one of my cards!

I colored it with Copics and mounted it on a background paper from Bella Blvd.

I love its bright and cheerful colors!

Christmas Card Challenge # 6 - Anything Goes.

Good morning and welcome to a new Christmas Card Challenge!

 

This week it's Anything Goes!

 

 

And I made this:

 

I wanted to use my new stamp from 2 Cute Ink called Gingerbread Santa. I chose a patterned card and a background paper I found in a magazine.

Although I loved it, something in my mind kept telling me there was something wrong... I finally discovered I made a similar card last year: same base card, same paper and even a similar image of a gingerbread...

Anyway, I love it, this cute little Gingerbread is sooo cheerful, it makes me happy!

 

Have a look here and see the great cards the DT has made this week!

This is my card:

 

I've recently subscribed to the new 2 Cute Ink Digital Stamps Club and this was one of November images and my favourite!

The colors for the challenge were perfect to make a card with this adorable little gnome, I only regret I didn't print her bigger!

Papers are from American Crafts and colors are obviously Copics.

Summer Coffee Lovers Bloghop!

I've been creating some coffee-themed cards and projects recently and when I saw the Summer Coffee Lovers Bloghop I couldn't keep myself from creating a coffee card with a summer feel for this challenge.

 

This is my card:

 

 

The image is the adorable Love You a Latte Gnome from 2 Cute Ink, colored with Copics and matched with papers from Avery Elle (above) and Miss Tiina (chevron).

The sentiment is from Bugaboo (Coffee Time - May Your Cup).

 

I've had a great fun to color it and put the card together! I LOVE these bright colors!

And this gnome has the same happy face I have every morning when I sit down and smell my coffee!

 

Well, time to hop and see all those beautiful coffee-themed cards!

It's all about Fathers here at 2 Cute Ink Challenges!

 

We want to celebrate them and we ask you to show us your cards for Father's Day!

 

As you know, here in Italy Father's Day is in March so it was a bit "out of season" for me but the image is so cute that it's been very easy to make my card!

 

This is the featured digi stamp:

Alligator Hugs

 

 

Isn't is lovely?

It's available in 2 Cute Ink shop on Etsy.

 

This is my card:

 

I've found this patterned paper from an Italian manufacturer (Modascrap) and I think it's the perfect background for these two cute alligators!

 

My teamies have created stunning cards! If I had to choose one I'd really have problems!

Elegant Squid.

You know, I sometimes often fall in love with certain images and I feel the urge to create something with them.

 

This has recently happened with Squid Doodle from 2CuteInk:

 

 

The only "squid" I had in mind before seeing this one was Spongebob's friend...

I found "her" so elegant that I matched the digi with a girly paper from DCWV and added water bubbles with rhinestones, to make it even mre girly.

I particularly love the flower on her headband!

 

This squid as well as many other summer-related images with super-cute animals can be found here in 2CuteInk Etsy shop!

Happy Easter!

Today I'd like to show you a card my daughter has just made for her cousins for Easter:

 

 

She chose this cute Baby Easter Bunny from my collection of 2 Cute Ink digi stamps: she loves their images and she often asks me to print one of them for her crafts!
