You're So Cool!

Hi Everyone,

I'm here showing off another card made with one of the great digis stamps from I Brake For Digis.  Trying to pad my stash of guy cards, I went pretty simple on this one.  I printed the Cool Cactus twice, so that I could pop it up and give the card some dimension, since I was keeping  the embellishments to a minimum.  I colored the image with Copics and added Glossy Effects to the sunglasses. Super cool, eh?

Thanks for stopping by today and visit the I Brake For Digis store for lots of cool stamps!

Wishing you all the best...

Hi Everyone,

I hope you all had a great Easter Sunday.  We had a busy day filled with lots of food and family :)

I love having masculine cards in my stash, and this Lighthouse from I Brake for Digis is a great image for that purpose.  I colored it with Copic markers and then went back and added highlights to the water with a white gel pen.  I thought the red bakers twine fit the nautical theme and buttons and twine seem to be my go to masculine embellishments.

Thanks for visiting and have a great crafty day!

Cupcake Trio

Hi Everyone,

It's Karin posting today's card, and I used this adorable Cherry Cupcake from I Brake for Digis.  I simply copied it three times and added a doily and baker's twine to compliment the bakery theme of the card.  I kept it sentiment free, so that I can customize it when the time comes.  I love having that option for my personal card stash.

You can see all of the food themed stamps at the I Brake for Digis store by clicking right here.

Hope your day is a three cupcake kinda day!

Bon Voyage

Hi Everyone,

It's Karin here at the blog today, and I Brake for Digis came through for me when I was desperate to make a card for someone who was leaving to vacation in Hawaii.  I had no travel themed stamps, and then I remembered this Brush Jet digi from the store.  Guess what?  It's a FREEBIE!

If you've never tried digi stamps, or just need a travel themed stamp, drop by the I Brake for Digis Store and grab yourself a freebie or two!

Have a great day!

Spring Time Bunny

Hi Everyone!

It's Karin posting a card made with this sweet bunny digi from the I Brake for Digi store.  I love tulips, so this image called to me immediately.  I added lace and pearls, because they seemed to fit the dainty look of the card.

Visit I Brake for Digis and see the great stamps available for spring and Easter!

Have a good day!

Happy Hour Freddie

Hi Everyone,

It's Karin posting today, and I have to say that the "Freddie" images from I Brake for Digis have to be among my favorites from the shop. This one is named Happy Hour Freddie and he looks like he wishes it was Friday instead of Monday today!

I added a stamped sentiment and pulled out my neglected brads for embellishments. I think they help to keep the card more masculine, since this will eventually make it's way to a guy.

Still, I had to add some Stickles to the jar and popped it up for some dimension.

Thanks for visiting and check out all of the Freddie stamps at I Brake For Digis!

Congratulations!

Hi Everyone,

It's Karin posting today, and this is the card I made for my niece who is graduating from high school in June.  Aren't these little graduation fish (Grad School) from the I Brake for Digis store the cutest thing?  All I did was color them in with my Copic markers and cut out the image with my Spellbinders die.  I cut out a couple of extra fish, put them on pop dots and added them to the bottom left corner. 

To give the illusion of bubbles in the water, I embossed some blue circles and glued them on for the background of my card and the sentiment is stamped.

Rugged Cross

Hi Everyone,

It's Karin posting today, and I just love that this Rugged Cross from I Brake for Digis gave me the opportunity to make a religious Easter card. 

It was so easy to color and I just added some flower and lace.  The sentiment is a traditional stamp from my supplies.

Stop by the I Brake for Digis store and see what spring time digis fit your crafting needs. 

Have a great day!

Chocolate Chip Cookie

Hi Everyone,

It's Karin posting today, and my yummy little card today has an image that comes via I Brake For Digis.  I was so happy to receive this little cookie, because I had the perfect sentiment in my supplies to compliment it. 

What friend would want to receive a sweet treat like this in the mail?  And, the best part...No calories! LOL.

The chocolate chips are a stamp from my personal stash that I cut out and covered with glossy effects and then used like embellishments.

Want this cookie for yourself?  Just visit I Brake for Digis !

Flamingo

Hi Everyone,

It's Karin posting today here at the blog, and I used this funny Flamingo digi from the I Brake for Digis shop on my birthday card today.  He seemed to look a bit grouchy, so I paired it with a sentiment from my own supplies.  I love doing that with my digis, you get so much mileage out of your supplies by using them this way.

Be sure to visit the I Brake for Digis shop for tons of different digital images!

Age is Only a Number

Hi All,

It's me Karin, posting a card I made for my cousin's birthday.  He used to have an orange motorcycle before he traded it in for a black one, so I made this card with that bike in mind.  It's much more fun to color in orange than in black...lol.

I used one of the cute Freddie stamps (Freddie on a Harley) from I Brake for Digis and paired it with a traditional stamped sentiment from my supplies.  I added some twine, because that always seems good and guy-ish...

and I glued on some googly eyes just because they are so fun :)

Be sure to check out all the stamps at the I Brake for Digis store...I know you will like what you see!

Happy Valentine's Day

Hi and Happy Valentine's Day Everyone!

It's Karin posting today, and I decided that I would use this cute image of filled Jars from I Brake for Digis for my card.  A little on the nontraditional side, but the one jar is filled with those cute hearts, so I thought, "Why not"?  I used these papers from Cosmo Cricket, some plaid ribbon and twine because they all looked kitchen-y to me ;)

Have you made your sweetheart a card?  Stop by the I Brake for Digis store and get what you need to make that special some one's day!

Get Well

Hi Everyone,

It's Karin posting today, and I'm showing you a card that I made for my uncle.  I knew this Bed from I Brake For Digis would make the perfect image for a get well card.  I used some K & Company papers that looked like fabric and paper pieced the bed linens.  I added a stamped sentiment, a bit of Tim Holtz paper tape and pierced the paper along the bottom. I know it's not fussy, but I don't think men like fussy cards :)

Well, short and sweet from me today, busy week ahead!  Be sure to visit the I Brake For Digis Store to see all of the great images offered!

Ducks in a Row

Good Morning!

It's Karin posting here today, and I decided to make a baby card for my stash of personal cards.  This sweet Ducks in a Row image is perfect for a baby and is gender neutral.  I colored them with my Copic markers, and added a piece of Tim Holtz paper tape behind the image to anchor it.  The sentiment is a traditional stamp from my supplies.  Don't you just love how digi images fit right in and round out your supplies?

Time to Relax

Hi Everyone!

It's Karin posting today's card, and with it being a gloomy Monday here where I live, I need something to pick up my spirit.  What could be better than a card that reminds one of summer time? 

I used the digi Sun Bathing Bee, and layered it on a card base that was stamped with flowers using traditional stamps.  The sentiment is also a "regular" stamp, and I chose to layer it to echo the flowers on the beach towel and background.

Here is a close up of the Stickles I added to give the wings some sparkle and the Glossy Effects to make the sunglasses shine :)

Thanks for stopping by the blog today and remember to visit the I Brake for Digis store to check out all the digi stamps they offer!

You're How Old?

Hi Everyone,

It's Karin posting today, and the minute I laid my eyes on this Laughing Hyena digi, this sentiment popped into my mind.  I knew it would make a funny age related card for the right person...aka, someone with a sense of humor :)

I didn't have this sentiment in my stash, so I just made it myself in Word on my computer and printed it out right along with the image.

I decided this would be a guy card, so I roughed up the edges of the patterned card stock and added a felt border behind the image, which was cut out using  my Nesties.  The Laughing Hyena was colored with my Copics.

Thanks so much for visiting me here at the blog, and to see this image and so many more, stop by the store today!

Artist Brushes

Hi Everyone,

It's Karin posting today's card here at the blog, and I'm so thrilled with this simple card design. 

While the text is a traditional stamp from my supplies, I have never used it because it seemed to need an image to compliment it.  I never had the "right" thing, until I received this fantastic image called Artist Tools

 from I Brake for Digis.  Isn't it marvelous?  Just like it was meant to be.

I colored it with my Copic markers and kept the design clean.

Here is a closer shot of the great image.

Visit the I Brake for Digis store today for the complete line of digital stamps for all your crafting projects.

Birthday Wishes

Hi Everyone!

It's Karin posting today and I hope your week is off to a great start. 

 I fully intended to use this cute image on one of my Christmas cards this year, but time, like time does, got away from me.  Luckily, these gifts are so cute and fun to color, they can be customized for any celebration at all. I chose to make it into a birthday card for a little boy who will be turning 6. 

With these colors being so bright and fun, I know that this will be a hit!

Thanks for visiting us at the blog and drop by the I Brake For Digis Store and pick up some digis for your projects.  It's never too early to get started on your crafting resolutions!

Freddie Rocks!

Hi Everyone!

It's Karin posting today here at the blog, and I just love this line of Freddie stamps that are available at the I Brake for Digis Store.

Isn't he just the cutest?  And there are loads of Freddies doing all kinds of things, so I know you will fall in love with one yourself!

I broke out my hand held stitching gizmo and did some messy sewing around the edges of my card to add texture.  As hard as I tried to make this into a guy card, I think with the scallops, ribbon, and the paper colors it will most likely end up going to a female. Oh well, such is the crafting life!

I

Pop on over to the I Brake for Digi Store to see this Freddie and all the rest!

Thanks for visiting us!

Just Hangin Around

Hi Everyone,

It's Karin here, and since the last card I posted was a Christmas card, I thought I would show off a non- holiday card this time.  This card uses the Laundry stamp available at the I Brake For Digis store.  All I did was color it with some Copic markers to match the sweet girlie paper I had in my stash of stuff.  The flower embellishments that I added were also "hangin" around my craft area forever, so score a point for me

 for using up some stuff ;)

This mini clothes pin was a last minute addition.

Thanks for visiting the blog today and be sure to visit I Brake for Digis and buy yourself some digi stamps!
