I created two cards to share with you today! I used the new Jolinne - Catch a Star stamp set for my first card. This stamp set is so adorable! I love how you can interchange the butterflies to stars, but for my card I decided to use the butterflies (of course! hehe!) I colored Jolinne up with my Copic markers and tried my hand at creating grass with my Prisma color pencils (thanks for the tips Jody!) I have a list of the products used at the bottom of this post.

For my second card, I used the new Flopsey - Smooth Sailing stamp set. Flopsey has got to be my most favorite character -- I just love him! He goes so perfectly with all my manly, boyish projects (and keep in mind, I have 3 sons, a husband, 2 brothers and a brother-in-law!! LOL) I colored up Flopsey with my Copic markers and paper pieced the sail boat using an old Stampin' Up designer paper collection I had in my stash. I love the clouds! I cut them out with the Cloud Trio die using MFT's My Favorite Felt. The waves were cut out using MFTs new Catch a Wave die coming out Feb 1st. Super fun! More information on products used is included at the end of this post.
