An Unseen Sorrow on Four Legs

Today the Lady Commander of Copics, Guardian of Glitter and I made an attempt at the Quest of Unseen Sorrow. We had tried a run at this one a few months back, but were not at a high enough level to beat the monsters. Well thanks to our many crafty quests we've completed, we've since leveled up and feel ready for another go. With my new enchanted sword, Frostbite, I was confident in our success. The Lady Commander thought it prudent to bring along her feline familiar, Ronin, thinking she could use him as a bonus to her attack points. I think he would be more adept at adding miscreant points...

I started this card by cutting out the postage stamp shape using the Art Philosophy cartridge. I then stamped the cute little girl with The Greeting Farm’s “Furever” set and coloured her in using Prismacolor pencils (I did paper piece her jacket and ribbons). I cut the hearts out using the Doodlecharms cartridge and added them around the stamp. The sentiment I stamped using the My Creative Time “Wow! So Many Candles” set.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment using the My Pink Stamper “Birthday Crazy” set and added the hearts from the Unity “Loads of Love” kit.

I stamped the envelope with that circle stamp from Unity...I have named it “Crop Circles” since I have no idea what it’s called as I won it in a grab bag.

This birthday card will share some hugs in the following challenges:

Having attempted this quest once before, I felt it was inappropriately named, as the sorrow was not unseen, us having already seen it a few months back. Ah well...despite having the trouble maker, Ronin along, we still managed to fell all the evil monsters and claim the loot at the end. Quest complete.

A Juicy Ant Attack

The weather has been unseasonably warm in the realm as of late, everyone finding it tough to cool down. The Lady Commander of Copics and I decided to pack a little picnic and take my direwolf and her daemon feline to the lakeside to play in the water. We spread out a blanket and broke into the watermelon slices Angela had packed. As soon as I bit into the first piece, we were ambushed by giant guardian ants! Luckily a Guildy never leaves home without a full arsenal of weapons. 

I had so much fun making the first post-it note holder, I was delighted when a coworker asked me to make one for her. Well not for herself...she had purchased this card from me and when she saw the cute bear post-it note holder I made, she requested a watermelon one to go with the card she was giving to someone. Phew...that’s probably a whole lot of information you didn’t need. Moving on...

I cut the watermelon out using the Doodlecharms cartridge and added some shading with Peeled Paint Distress Ink. The cute little ants I stamped using the Lawn Fawn “Happy Summer” set.

On the inside top flap I stamped the sentiment using the My Little Shoebox “Oasis” set. I then stamped some more of those adorable ants around it. I used the magnet strips on this again to keep it closed, which gave me enough experience to level up my metal magic.

I went through the pad (being careful not to bend it this time) and stamped some ants throughout. I stole borrowed a stack of post-it notes from the wagon repair shop, where I work to make some extra gold coins, so I will be making a bunch more of these cute holders!


This colourful craft will be taking notes in the following challenges:

Despite their menacing name, the guardian ants were quickly dispatched by the Lady Commander and I. I didn’t even have to use a single tonic potion in the battle. Hopefully those baddies learned not to invade our picnic again!
