Hi All, I absolutely loved Stampingbella's Zodiac girl line - such beautiful images! I think what really makes them special is that many of the images could be used for other types of cards such as this image of Stampingbella's Uptown Zodiac Girl Pisces which I used as a mermaid for this card. Image I stamped Stampingbella's Uptown Zodiac Girl Pisces onto a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock using Ink on 3's Blackout Detail Ink and then embossed it with Hero Arts' Ultra Fine Clear Embossing ...
Hi Everyone, I'm completely in love with My Favorite Things - they have such amazing products! I'm also a HUGE Birdie Brown fan - her illustrations are so cute - so when I saw MFT's Picture Perfect stamp set I was over the moon in love. Image All the images in MFT's Picture Perfect stamp set are so darn cute so I had to color them all right away. Today, I'm only featuring one of the super cute images so stay tuned for more cards in the future. I just love these little Guinea Pigs especially ...
Hi Everyone, Over the last year or so I've developed a deep love for background stamps because they add so much interest to cards and there are many techniques you can do with them. Some of my favorite background stamps come from Simon Says Stamp and today I'm using two beautiful ones Simon Says Stamp's Pretty Peonies Background and Simon Says Stamp's Plank Background. Focal Panel I instantly fell in love with Simon Says Stamp's Pretty Peonies Background - the flowers are gorgeous! I ...
Hi All, Earlier this summer I mentioned being head over heels for the super cute Sunny Studio's Fabulous Flamingos stamp set. Today I'm sharing the second card I created featuring this adorable set. If you're interested you can see the first card on my Sunny Studio's Fabulous Flamingos post. Images Much like the last card I created, I wanted to feature on this card two of cute flamingos along with several of the adorable foliage and fruit images from the stamp set. After stamping the images ...
Hi Everyone, If you are on the hunt for some fantastic mermaid stamps I think Whimsy Stamps has several super lovely ones. Today I'm featuring Whimsy Stamps' Nerissa the Mermaid but some of my other favorites include: Naia the Mermaid, Let's be Mermaids, and Elania. Image I stamped Nerissa onto a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock using Ink on 3's Blackout Detail Ink and then embossed it with Hero Arts' Ultra Fine Clear Embossing Powder.

Hi Everyone, You know that feeling when you see a stamp set you're so absolutely in love with that you think you're heart will break if you don't get it? Well, that's how I felt about Mama Elephant's Dandelion Wishes stamp set. The images in this set are so ridiculously cute and I love the beauty behind the idea of making wishes on the Dandelion seeds --- who didn't do that as a kid?! Image For this card, I really wanted to highlight one of my favorite images from this set the sweet little ...
Hi Everyone, If you are looking for a beautiful and sweet stamp set then I think Mama Elephant's Wish Upon a Star stamp set is one of the best/sweetest out there. I love the adorable bunny images and the sentiments with their beautiful mix of fonts - really pretty! For today's project, I decided to make two cards using two of the images in the stamp set. Since both cards are made the same way I'll explain the details once since it would be boring to read the same thing twice. ...
Hi Crafty Friends, So, I have a confession to make, every summer I say to myself 'you don't need any more summer themed stamp set. You already have so many cute ones. This year you will NOT buy any more!' And guess what? Every year the stamp companies outdo themselves and I simply have to buy at least 1 or 2 (or 200) more stamp sets. HA! This year Mama Elephant's Summer Splash stamp set stole my heart and I just had to have it. I absolutely love their stamps! Card Design This card design ...
Hi Crafty Friends, I am completely in love with Simon Says Stamp's Picture Book dies - they are so cute and add so much interest to any card. So, when I saw the Ink Blot Shop's Botanical Borders stamp set I thought it would be perfect to use with Simon's picture book characters. Images and Coloring For this card, I decided to use Simon Says Stamp's Hippo, Monkey, and Koala picture book dies. I die cut each character out of Neenah Solar White, 110 lb, cardstock and colored them with Copic ...
Hi Crafty Friends! To create today's card I used one of my favorite stamp sets Simon Says Stamp's Beautiful Flowers. This set is gorgeous and besides featuring stunning floral images it also has many fantastic sentiments. Card Design Inspiration One of my favorite card designers, Yana Smakula, shared the technique of stamping images and then coloring the entire background using Copic markers. I decided to give this technique a try but instead of using a color marker I decided to use black ...
