Hello friends! I am happy to be guest designing today for the Crafty Meraki Craftober Celebration. There is a $100 Gift Card up for grabs to the Crafty Meraki store through an Instagram Hop. You can join in HERE!

I have two cards to share with you today that feature new slimline dies released by Crafty Meraki as well as some fun stamp sets from Sunny Studio Stamps.

For my first card, I combined the new Round the Block Slimline Die designed by Candice Fisher along with the adorable North Pole Stamp Set by Sunny Studio Stamps. To start, I first blended some Wilted Violet and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Ink onto a piece of smooth white card stock. I then diecut a white panel using the Round the Blog Slimline Die. I love all of the gorgeous stitched circles! I adhered a piece of clear acetate to the back of this panel with some liquid adhesive and then added some 3D Foam Adhesive Tape to create some depth for my shaker embellishments.

Next, I stamped my images onto a sheet of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock and colored them with Copic Sketch Markers.

Copic Color Combos Used:

• Purples: V01, V15, V17, V09
• Teals: G000, BG13, BG49
• Blues: B000, B01, B04
• Yellows: YG13, V12
• Skin: E0000, E000, E21, E13

For my second card, I used the gorgeous You Are My Sunshine Slimline Die and combined it with the Sunny Studio Stamps Sealiously Sweet Stamp Set. I first trimmed a piece of bold blue card stock and adhered some beautiful sun rays (cut using the You Are My Sunshine Slimline Die) over top of it with liquid adhesive.

I then added my images that I had colored with Copic Markers (W00, W0, W2, W4 and C00, C0, C2, C4) and diecut with their coordinating dies.

I hope you enjoyed my cards today! Thanks so much for stopping by! Make sure to stop by my INSTAGRAM feed if you would like to join in on the hop and a chance to win a $100 Crafty Meraki Gift Card!
