A Little Hello



Hey there!  I have a quickie card to share with you today.  I love building backgrounds/patterns with non-background stamps.  I knew this banner stamp from Stitchery Doo Banners (Scrapmaster's Paradise) would be perfect for this purpose.  I used pink, green, and blue inks and stamped my banner in a somewhat random pattern.  I started with the one that my sentiment is stamped in because I knew that is where I wanted my sentiment.  Then I rounded the top corners with my corner rounder.  To finish it off I added rhinestones to the little diamond shaped openings.  Easy, right!?  Thanks for stopping by, have a great day!

Just a Note


Happy Friday!  Here is a simple card I made using one of my favorite embossing folders.  Love love love the subtle detail!!!  I can't stop playing with my Uniko Studio butterfly stamps and dies either.  I don't think I've ever met a stamper that doesn't love butterfly stamps!  Wait until you see Uniko Studio's June release. OMG SO MUCH goodness!!!!!

Life is Good

Good morning!  How fun is this frog!!??  Love her!  She kind of reminds me of myself.  We have a pool and I love floating around with a drink!  =D   However, I DO NOT wear a bikini, and my eyelashes are not nearly as fabulous. LOL   I used a doily for the sun. Just cut it in quarters and colored it with yellow Copics.


Supplies

Life is Good Babies (sentiment)

Many Thanks

Good morning! I finally got another chance to play with my Gill Roberts Inner Tube Girl stamp.  She's just so cute!  The Gill Roberts stamps are tons of fun to color.  =) The sentiment is from the Even Bolder Sentiments collection. I didn't want to add too much patterned paper because I didn't want to draw attention away from the stamped image, so I just added a strip of waves paper from the Perfect Summer collection, and then finished it off with a bakers twine bow.


That's all for now, thanks for stopping in!

Pure Florals; Gerbera revisited - Blog Hop

Good Morning!  Today the Uniko Studio Design Team is revisiting Pure Florals: Gerbera.  This set is so pretty and versatile.  I can see myself using it for years to come.  I love that it's a 2-step set, so you can color the images if you're in the mood to color, or just stamp if you need to create a quick card.

Echo Park Perfect Summer

Hey there!  I normally use stamps on every project I make.  I love stamping!  Today I challenged myself not to use any stamps on this card.  Aside from the adhesive, the only thing I used on this card was paper and stickers from the new Echo Park Perfect Summer Collection.  Perfect Summer was part of Scrap Master's Paradise April Kit Club.  I can't wait to use this collection on my summer Project Life pages.  It will be perfect! I seriously love EVERY paper in this collection!  =D

Peachy Keen Peek #2

Good morning!  I'm back today with another quick Sneak Peek for May!
Stamping is my favorite part of paper crafting.  I could probably survive with nothing but cardstock, stamps and ink.  =)  For today's card I created a background paper using the accessory stamps from the Peachy Keen Stamps May set of the month.  Cut, stamp, color, adhere.  Easy peasy!  =)  Thanks for stopping by!

Peachy Keen Stamps May Sneak Peek


Hey guys!  Today I am here with my first peek at the new Peachy Keen Stamps for May.  When I saw this baby cow I knew that I had to use him on a milk carton box.  I cut the box with my Cameo, and used a Copic marker to draw the spots. I assembled the box and tied a pink bow on the top.  I colored and cut my cow and bottle and adhered them to the box.  I finished it off with a sentiment strip and a rhinestone.



We will be showing peeks through Saturday, so be sure to check out what the rest of the design team has created with the new May stamps!  Also, don't forget to join in on the release party at 6PM (central time) on Sunday.  Lots of fun and prizes!
