Happy Release Day! I am so excited to be part of today’s Colorado Craft Company June Release. This is another Anita Jeram release, filled with her whimsical characters. Anita is an accomplished children’s book author and illustrator:
“Having sold over 47 million copies worldwide, she has truly captured the hearts of children and adults alike. Now, together with 3C, we bring you stamps, dies, papers, and stencils that are sure to help you create handmade cards that are fun, kind, and whimsical.”
The moment I saw this Play Time stamp set, my heart melted! There’s two images in this set. The first image is mice playing with tea, and the second is these mice playing with makeup. My daughter is four, and her favorite activity right now is anything makeup! She even got a vanity table for her birthday last month. So I had to color these mice, if anything, just to hear her say “AWWWW!” And she did.
I used Copic markers to color the scene. I started with cool grays for the ground shadows and mice, then moved on to teals, reds, and gold.
- Gold: Y21, Y26, Y28
- Pink: RV19, RV14, RV21
- Teal: BG11, BG72
- Red: R59, R29, R35, R32
- Violet: V99, V95, V93, V91
- Neutral Gray: N8, N6, N4
I stamped the sentiment, and decided the scene was a little too plain. So I pulled out Stripes And Dots Background, and stamped a black strip pattern. I attached it to the card base, and finished with a strip of dark pink glitter paper.
That’s all that I have for now… Your next stop on the hop is the amazing Daniel West.

I love these animal stamps.
Love your color choices – especially on the gold compact. And your bold stripe pattern on the side highlights the False eyelashes, which are a really fun part of this stamp.
How much fun is this super cute card Angelica! I just love it. Beautiful colouring and the striking stripes really make it a stand out!Thanks so much for the great inspiration! Stay safe! 🙂
Great card. I love simple cards.
I hid to laugh when I saw the mice with the false eyelashes.
How can you not smile at those cute mice playing dress up. Thank you for sharing
Angelica!!! OH my goodness wouldn’t you love to play dress up with these two?? Your skills are showing again!! Beautifully colored!
=]
I absolutely love your card!! So cute! I would love to make this for my daughter-in-law, she loves makeup. Thank you for the inspiration.
Such a sweet card!
I LOVE THIS STAMP SET. It reminds me of my 3 year old granddaughter. She loves to wear makeup—she did yesterday and it looked like she had a sunburn on one cheek 🙂 I keep going back and forth between liking this set most, and the big wedding scene. I think that the wedding scene wins, but….
So cute, Angelica. Great coloring job and the stripes are perfect with it.
Such a sweet card, Angelica. Great coloring and the stripes on the side are perfect with it!
The makeup set is SOOOOOO CUTE! I LOVE the way you did the edge!
Your daughter should love this card. Does she see herself in your creations, or just want to jump into the girly make up!
Definitely the makeup!😂
Such a fun set. Thanks for sharing your great cards.
This is always great to send to a friend…. love it!!
Sweet card! Thanks for sharing.
The colors you chose along with the layout are so complete. They make the card look fresh and current. Also, I adore the bit of sparkle. What card about make-up could possibly be complete without a bit of glitter?
Oh this is such an adorable image! That is just sooo cute that the mice are playing with the huge false eyelashes! I love how you’ve colored this and kept the card so clean and simple!
How adorable. The black and white stripe is perfect
How can this card not make any woman grin from ear to ear?! To border it with the black & white striped paper along with the sparkly dark pink strip tops it off wonderfully.
I like this set, the images and sentiments are perfect. You card is lovely and your daughter sounds adorable.
Adorable!
What a cool card. I laughed out loud when I clicked on your card. The eyelash idea is way too cute!
Such a cute card! Love how you put a stripe background to the one side. Thank you for sharing.
You’ve got to be kidding. These are just too, too cute!
Love this stamp set and what you did with it….for sure makes me smile. Thanks for sharing!
Absolutely darling and so fun!
This set is tooooooo cute!
So very sweet! The cute sets put a smile n my face and inspire me! Thanks!
Such a cute stamp set! I love the coloring you did with it!
I can still remember my daughter playing dress up and using lipstick… that was more than 40 years ago…. time passesmtoo quickly for sure! Love this and these new sets are amazing again! Thanks for sharing this.
Glad to see the use of a stamp other than
The wedding ones. They’re great, but I’m older and not many weddings in my world these days. The idea of the side border is a wonderful jumping off point for me. Inspirational for certain!
So cute!
Fun card. Everybody is venturing back out
and going to need that extra boost of makeup.
