The Eiffel Tower with RAM Stamps

In the fall of 2024 my husband and I took a wonderful trip to celebrate our 30th Anniversary to Europe, and one of our stops was Paris.  One of our first nights there we wanted to see the Eiffel Tower lit up, so we took the subway to the area, and walked in the pouring rain to the site.  It was truly magical when the lights came on!  So, when I saw this adorable image from Rachelle Anne Miller called Paris, and it depicted the tower when it was raining, I knew I had to create with it!  

I coloured up the image with Copics, adding in some extra iron work into the tower with a multiliner, and coloured it up as if the lights had just come on.  To keep with the travel theme, I added in some coordinating postal stamps I had in my stash, and stamped the background with a map stamp.  It gives that perfect world traveller style I was going for.  I also coloured in the rain drops with a white Sharpie to define them.  

Here is a picture of us in Paris that night in the rain with the glow of the lights.  Isn’t it magical!?  It was such a delight!  We also went to see it in the day, in the sunshine, and took the elevator to the top (combining that with the stairs part of the way down).  It is so much more magestic and enormous than I ever imagined.  

Isn’t she the cutest? I brought back some wonderful memories too!

Little Lamb Cuddle with RAM

 Hello!  It’s been a busy couple of weeks, and a cortisone shot in the shoulder which has prevented me from being as creative as I’d like.  But I’m back today with the cutest little lamb cuddle from Rachelle Anne Miller Stamps!  This one is called Lamb Cuddle, and my link my referral code at no cost to you.  I thought this adorable little girl snuggled up with her sheep was the perfect Spring image.  

She’s coloured up with Copics, and I’ve paired her with pretty plaid digital paper from RAM called Love Bugs.  I can’t wait for things to be growing in the garden again!  I added some fun pennant accents, typewriter style sentiment and a few enamel dots.  And when is the last time you used ribbon?  It’s been ages for me, but the touches of lace seemed just right. 

A great design to cheer up a friend!  Thanks for joining me today!

Snow Bunnies with RAM Stamps

 

Hello!  I hope you’re doing well on this early New Year!  I’m popping in today with some adorable snow bunnies perfect for Winter!  We were just driving today in our snow covered city and I am grateful to live in a place with four seasons.  Snow is very beautiful, and I don’t even mind the cold, as long as it doesn’t stay too cold for too long.  Today I created with RAM Stamps Christmas Sled.  It’s perfect for the season and showcases winter without being too Christmasy.  

I printed the image and coloured it with Copics in a cool Winter palette, then used some of the Snowy Christmas Digital Pattern Paper Pack with the adorable snowmen on it as one of my background layers.  I’ve also added in some snowflakes with a white gel pen and dazzled up the snowflakes in the illustration with glitter pen.  Aren’t they the sweetest looking children?  

With a few die cut snowflakes, and some glittery paper it is the cutest snow bunnies you’ve seen yet this year!  Thanks for joining me today!

Peace on Earth Angel with RAM Stamps

Hello!  Popping in tonight with a precious little Christmas Angel from Rachelle Ann Miller called Peace Angel .  She’s just delightfuly isn’t she?  I’ve coloured her up with Copic markers and then added in lots of sparkle to the design with a shimmery glitter pen.  Contrasting colours of purple and yellow work really well together for this design.  

The background is foiled with stars to coordinate and add lots of gold, and I also die cut some stars to accent using glitter paper.  This picture grabs a little of the shimmer from the pen in her dress.  

I think peace on earth is a beautiful thing to herald at Christmas and through all seasons.  I pray it begins in me, and extends to my world. 

If you haven’t finished your Christmas card and tag making, I’m including my RAM Stamps affiliate link provided at no cost to you....but every little bit helps me out!    https://rachelleannemiller.com/?ref=hyicmakm

Merry Snowman with RAM Stamps

 

I don’t know about you, but it feels to me that November zoomed by and here we are at the beginning of December, with today being the first Sunday of Advent.  My little corner of the world is filled with snow, and I’m delighting in the cozy.  Today’s card uses the cutest image from RAM Stamps called Christmas Merry.  Isn’t that little snowman darling?  

The image is coloured in one of my favourite Christmas combos using coloured pencils, with some white gel pen accent.  I had some fun creating the background with embossing some swirling snow, a misty spritz of colour and some ink blending to really make it feel like a blizzard.  

To accent I’ve added sparkling glitter paper strips, die cut snowflakes and irridescent sequins that really make it sparkle.  Hoping that your season is Merry!

Grateful for Friends Like You with RAM

 

Hello!  Today I’m bringing you one more autumn/gratitude card with these absolute sweeties from RAM Stamps called Autumn Friends.  The sweetness of this illustration had me pulling out my coloured pencils again and bringing a fun fall colour combo to life in the design.  

A stitched die is the perfect border for the design and I added it to a backdrop of die cut leaves from a Concord & 9th die.  Such a great way to tie in all of those colours together. 

I also added in a vellum pennant with some texture which I ink blended some rosy ink onto.  And, ribbon seemed to be the right touch - even though I so rarely use it these days.  

The cutest image for a blustery day!  Full of gratitude and sweetness.

The Sweetest Surprise with RAM!

 

Hello!  I’m back after a month away on a combined work mission trip to Romania and a dream trip with my husband through Europe!  It was a truly amazing experience on all levels.  And I’ve come back today with a little surprise!  Before I left for Europe, Rachelle of RAM Stamps (Rachelle Anne Miller) connected to ask if I’d be interested in joining her design team!  With the sweetest storybook style illustrations and the ability to colour them to life on cards, it was an easy decision for me.  So, today we’re kicking things off with the new November Release of images!  This precious cutie is called Santa’s Little Helper.  

I started by colouring her up with Copics, and finishing the details with coloured pencils and a white gel pen.  Isn’t she darling with her little pup reindeer?  After die cutting the image out, I placed her on a striped background of cardstock colours to coordinate.  

With a few die cut snow accents and some sparkly sequins she’s ready for gift giving, and looks adorably festive in the process.  

I’m excited to show you more RAM designs in the future!  Here’s my affililate link if you’d like to go shopping,  I appreciate your support!
