Krafty Chicks Challenge 

For my last card, I chose to use this fabulous new set from 

Not 2 Shabby called~ Pumpkin Spice Everything

 

 

I absolutely love this set! Oh my gosh! Too cute!

I colored this up with several Copic markers and die cut it out with a die from Papertrey Ink

I love using burlap, so when shopping at "The Lob" (Hobby Lobby) I saw this fun paper pack! Ack! Meant for ME!! 

I was all done with this card, and putting away my mess, when I spotted this cute, CUTE little squirrel in another set, so I quickly stamped him out and colored him up! I know he doesn't really have on a sweater, but, I saw where I could give him one! After fussy cutting him out, I used a pop dot and stuck down  :) HaHa!!

I just love the squirrels in 

Not 2 Shabby~ you, me and pumpkin spice 

here are a couple close up shots for you!

Hey there!!! 

Welcome to Robyn's Nest!!

I'm back with the Krafty Chicks Challenge week 3!!

Krafty Chicks Challenge 

This week, I am back in the Hen House with this Clean And Simple (CAS) card using Unity Stamp Co and their Kit of the Month for August 

~Illustrated by Jeanie Marie Hays~ 

 

I did not intend for this to be as it is, but, once I stamped the sentiment, I decided to just leave it alone..I really love how this card came out with absolutely no coloring!! I am not a CAS card maker at all. As a matter of fact, I am so happy with the new slimline cards being made right now. They give a card maker like me So much more room for embellishments! 

For this card, I used 2 different stamp sets. 

KOM-Count Your Blessings  

and

Dash of Encouragement  

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog!! 

I look forward to next week for "anything goes" 

Don't forget you can join in all the fun by linking up your own card!! 

See you back here on September 24th

Hey there!!
Welcome to Robyn's Nest!!

I am super stoked to be guest designing with Krafty Chicks Challenge, and hanging out in their "hen house" for the entire month of September! 

I was so surprised when Lori Turner contacted me, and asked!
Thanks, Lori for the invitation!!!!

Krafty Chicks Challenge  

My first card of the month is for my cousin Melody, in Illinois..

We grew up together, very closely, and here we are in our old age, still best friends!!
We try to vacation together, and so far we have been on 7 cruises..the last one in March of this year, before the world went crazy!! 

 

 

Ok...enough chit chatting!! 

Here's what I came up with

I wanted to make Melody a new card since it's been a while. 

I didn't have any ideas in my head, so I went to the cards my crafty friends send me for inspiration. 

Lisa Bzibziak sent me this gorgeous card last year. She is an amazing card maker, and I claim to be her number one #fangirl

Almost an exact copy 💖 (hers is prettier) 

 

Here's a shot of the inside of the card, too 

 

The details are as follows....

I used, My Favorite Things, Pure Innocence line of stamps (love them)

The set is called "You're My Person" 

MFT~ You're My Person <<link

I started with a piece of heavy Papertrey Ink white card stock

I cut a heart out using Lawn Fawn stitched hearts, and a piece of pink velum..

I cut some plaid card stock with a fancy scalloped die

I stamped the girls image on white card stock, and colored the skin and hair with Copics. 

I used the same paper pack to paper piece their clothes, then used the matching die to cut them out...

I used a few tiny white flowers, some sweet butterflies, and, stitched clouds to complete the card.

I just love how it turned out, and I know she will, too!!

If you have any questions about what companies I use, please ask in comments!
I try to keep my posts short, but would love to hear from you!!

Coffee Loving Cardmakers~ Fun with Jaded Blossom

Hey there, and welcome back to Robyn's Nest!!

I have a couple fun cards for you today from one of my favorite Super Sponsors, Jaded Blossom! 

Their July release was all for me! Just kidding, but you would think so with all that coffee goodness! Anything from fun, new coffee stamps, to new coffee themed stencils! I was in heaven!

As soon as the sets arrived, I couldn't wait to get inky!
I am having a random blog candy giveaway this month
Comment to be entered to win

First, I used the super sweet owl from the Don't Give a Hoot set
 link is below

Don't Give a Hoot 

Ack!! How cute is this Owl?? 

I started out by stamping, then coloring the image with Copics,

 then I decided to paper piece the cup!

Next, I fussy cut it out...
Going through my stash, I ran across these dies from 

CAS-ual Fridays  

Best Day Ever, and Jumping Jacks 

I cut the dies out with a few colored card stock
I then went looking for a tree die, or stamp, and found that I had bought this gorgeous birch tree die from Simon Says Stamp. So, I cut it out in white, then I used a deckle blade to trim the edges around that piece. I added a colorful polka dot piece of card stock I had used on a previous card, so I added it behind the trees :)

The Best Day Ever dies came with these super fun flowers, so I added them, too... 

The Jumping Jacks die is so awesome! I loved using it on this card... 

I also decided to use the negative piece from die cutting to make another card, just for fun!! 

I really love how these 2 turned out...I felt like I was channeling my inner Lisa Bzibziak on these 2! That's not a bad thing, either, since I'm her super fan ;) and she constantly inspires me with her amazing creations!! 

I sure hope you enjoyed my cards for this month!!

See you here again next month

 (September 16th is my day)

Onto my card...

This months cue is Favorite Angie Girl or Guy!!
Well that's difficult!!

I know 😭
I can say with all honesty, I will miss Angie Blom's Unity stamps!

I do love digital stamping, and will follow Angie wherever she goes!! 💛
I wish her well 

Onto my card for this month...
Now, don't be too jealous, but I have the highly coveted March 2015 Kit of the Month!!
I KNOW!!!
So lucky!! I bought it before they removed it.
 I am using the Angie girl from that kit!!

Sorry, the picture looks rough :/ 

 

Pretty In Pink

I am so happy with how she turned out!

At first, I was afraid I had overworked her hair, but the pictures looked ok, so I went with it

I used Copics to color her, and a die from Papertrey Ink to cut out the finished image..glued her onto  pink card stock, then found a matching piece of pattern paper

I used rectangle dies I bought from Elizabeth Craft back in the Fall.

The ribbon is from Close to my Heart, and the sweet little flower is from Jolee's
I hope you have enjoyed the Hop so far!!
