Using the very cute Lottie - Witch Costume digi stamp set from Last Minute Manda, I created this zigzag card. 

 For the base of the card, I used the Circle Zigzag Card Shape, from Studio Light Essentials (SL-ES-CD124).  The cardstock is from my scrap stash.  The patterned paper was printed and cut using a Silhouette file called Halloween Candy.  I used copic markers, gel pens, and wink of stella clear pen to colour in the images and add a little bit of sparkle here and there.

I created a little greeting mat on the back.  I used the Cardz TV stamp set called Happy Days to stamp the sentiment.

This card measures 5.5" x 8" when displayed but folds down to 5.5" x 3.75" for mailing, so if will fit in A2 envelope.

Did you notice that my card shows you the steps of how to make magical candy!

1.  First you read the recipe.

2. Gather the ingredients.

3. Add that special touch of magic.

4. Stir it well and let it bubble till done! 

Simple enough, right? 😂

Well, before I get any goofier, I'll say cheers for now.  I hope you enjoyed your visit and that you'll come back soon.  I would love to you see you play along with us.  You have until noon, CST, on 11 November 2025, to link your project to our challenge.

A note from Rachelle Anne Miller:

I am an artist & designer living in the beautiful Adelaide Hills in South Australia with my husband and three amazing children! I love to create and am especially drawn to all things cute. I've worked on children's books, greeting cards, craft supplies, children's room décor, tech accessories, and more. I love to bring out joy and imagination in my art and create something a little different to inspire and make you smile.

I made two cards for this challenge, one from each of our wonderful sponsors.  So let's start with Last Minute Manda. 

I used the very sweet pre-coloured digi set called Snow Bears Christmas, and created four cards.  Each card uses one of the 4 digis that come in this set. Here is a close up of the 4 images ...

   

     

  I used "Snow Buddies" for my challenge theme.  Using the Silhouette, I print and cut the images twice, then used foam square to adhere the two layers together to add a little dimension to the card.

On the inside I used a leftover strip of  the patterned paper to add a little interest, and stamped my greeting.

  I also used the following materials to create these cards:

Recollections - 5.5" Square card base

Silhouette to print and cut.

Marianne Design - Snowflake Square

Spellbinders - Make it Merry Sentiments

DP - The Paper Studio - Foiled Snowflakes

For my second card, I used the adorable Woodland Snowman scene from RAM Stamps, and as you can see I also went with "Snow Buddies" as the theme for this card.

A close up of this sweet and adorable Winter scene.  

In addition to this lovely digi, I used the following products to create my card:

Silhouette - card base

Studio Light - Trees

Marianne Design - Slimline Icicles

Cottage Cutz - Merry Christmas w/Shadow

Using Valentine Gnomes from Last Minute Manda, and a file from Silhouette, I created this Valentine card.

I cut out all the layers of the card and adhered them together.  Next I cut out the gnome digi twice and also adhered the layers together, to add a little dimension.

I was still not too happy with the way it looked, so I created a black shadow for the image. This added to the dimension of the digi and created a little contrast.

I used Glaze markers to colour in the letters. It gives it lovely shiny texture that I could not capture on the photo.  I used Copic markers to colour in the rest of the image. 

On the inside I used a heart from Silhouette, created the sentiment and print and cut it.  Then I adhered it to the red mat layer and called it done 😀

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I would love to you see you play along with us.  You have until noon, CST, on 12 March 2024, to link your project to our challenge.

I wish you all a very Happy Valentine's Day.

Using the Christmas Cocoa Cups 4 digi set from Last Minute Manda, I created these 3 cards.

I used a file from the Silhouette store to cut out the cards, and the digis. I added a shadow to each digi so it would make it pop.  I used copic markers to colour in the images.

I added the icing on the cookie by using an Ice White Pearl Pen.

I also added Glossy Accents to the berries and buttons to make them stand out more.  For a finishing touch, I added a few gems in Christmas red.

For this cute snowman cup, I added glossy accents to the stars, and finished it off with a few crystal gems in blue.

For this last cup, I also added Glossy Accents to the star, and white icing using the Pearl Pen.

That is all for today folks.  Thanks so much for stopping.  I would love to you see you play along with us.  You have until noon, CST, on 9 January 2024, to link your project to our challenge.

I loved these lil Frankies from the moment I laid eyes on this digi set called Franky's Pumpkins by Last Minute Manda. They're just too cute! 

To make this card, I used the Flip & See mechanism die set from Made to Surprise by Sam Calcott.  I used 3 of the Frankies on the front and then when you pull the tab on the side ...

... there are another 2 of the Frankies wishing you a Happy Halloween! 👻 The greeting was computer generated using the Chiller font.  I coloured in my images using copic markers.  The cardstocks are all from GinaK.

I have a very old spider web stamp (no info on it anymore) that I used to add a little interest to the inside of the card where I will be writing my personal message.

That is all for today folks.  Thanks so much for stopping.  I would love to you see you play along with us.  You have until noon, CST, on 7 November 2023, to link your project to our challenge.

Using the Dad Stuff digi set from Last Minute Manda, I created this pocket card for hubby.

The card base is a file from the Silhouette store. I picked a few things from the digi set that apply to my hubby and added it to the insert. Once I had it all in the position I wanted them, I used the create a shadow button and welded it altogether to have a base to adhere all my different images to.  

I used copic markers to colour in the different elements. I cut out the "#1 Dad" ribbon twice and paper pieced the centre circle onto the silver ribbon.  I tried to print directly onto the silver cardstock, but the ink did not dry.  I'll have to try my laser printer next time.  Unfortunately I couldn't use it now because our pup chewed the printer cord and I haven't gotten around to getting a new one.  This was his way of protesting being left home alone during a tiny storm! 😀

On the back, I used the Silhouette to print the sentiment and matted it onto navy blue cardstock.
