Smile Shaker card featuring Pink and Main Stamps

Hi Everyone! 
Today I am sharing a shaker card featuring 
Pink and Main stamps and dies.
For the shaker card, I thought it would be fun to use the *newly released* Smile die and Smile stamp set along with the fun faces from the Mini Faces Set 2 and Set 3.

I started with a top folding white A2 card base and then cut another card front about a 1/8" smaller then I used the Stitched Rounded Squares die to cut a window for the shaker. Next, I die cut the Smile from the Smile die from some pearl white cardstock, I also stamped the coordinating sentiment from the Smile stamp set below the window in black ink. Then I added the clear acetate to the window and adhered the Smile die cut on top of it. I used the Mini Faces Set 2 and Set 3 and stamped several of them on different colored cardstock and then punched them out with a circle punch. I also added some pink chalk to the cheeks and some white gel pen accents to the eyes. All the faces are just so fun and happy! Perfect for this shaker card and sentiment. Finally I added the smiley faces to the shaker window and added some coordinating patterned paper to the background. 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

I Love Your Smile featuring Pink and Main stamps

Hi Everyone! 

Today is my day to share a card for Pink and Main stamps.

For my card, I used the *NEW* 6x6 Color Pop paper pad, Smile dies, Smile stamp set, and the Lacy Border dies.

I just love this new paper with the "pop" of color!! I started the card with a teal card base then layered the heart patterned paper on black and white cardstock. Next I die cut the 'Smile' in teal and the shadow in white pearl cardstock along with the Lacy Border die twice. Next, I stamped and heat embossed in white the "I Love Your" sentiment from the coordinating Smile stamp set and then layered that on teal and white and added it to the corner of the card. I finished the card with some ribbon with a double bow and some small pearls to the Lacy Border.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

A card and I used the new Seeds Of Kindness stamp set, Coordinating die, Scalloped Circles Die and the Spring Fling 6x6 paper pad. I used the Stitched Rounded Rectangles die for the base layer of the card, die cut in White, next I used some of the new patterned papers and die cut two squares from the Stitched Rounded Rectangles Die and added those to opposite corners of the card then I added a strip of the fun chevron pattern to the middle of the card. Then I layered a die cut scalloped circle in Kraft and a Stitched Circle in some of the pink hearts patterned paper. Then to those I added the cute bunny holding the seed packet, that is stamped and colored with copic markers and die cut with the coordinating die 

and added some white gel pen accents.

I added the sentiment to the bottom of the card using my misti to get a crisp impression. I also added some of the heart clusters from the set in pink. I finished the card with some coordinating enamel dots.

Guest Designer- Just a few little cards to say.....

Hi Everyone!! 

Today I am a Guest Designer for Gerda Steiner Designs.

I am sharing a few cards using the All Cats stamp set.

The first card is a Valentine's/Love card. The XO sentiment from the set inspired me. The cute cat is stamped and colored with copic markers to look like a white cat with black spots. 

I stamped the background with the same color of the card stock with the XO sentiment. Then I die the panel with an Oval die and a stitched rounded rectangle die. The oval made a cute window for the cat, holding the sign, I paper pieced the sentiment window with some pink heart patterned paper. Next, I added the back ground of heart patterned paper to the window for the cat. I stamped the sentiment, 

"Just a little card to say" in black ink and then added some clear embossing powder. I finished the card with some heart and round enamel dots.

For the second card, I used a card sketch and the "Happy Purr-Thday" as inspiration. The cat is again stamped in black and copic colored to be an orange tabby cat. I cut the papers according to the sketch and added a dry embossed polka dotted background. The "Happy Purr-Thday!" sentiment is stamped and heat embossed in white, then I added some white gel pen faux stitching. I finished the card with some stitched edges, glossy accents to the eyes and nose and matching enamel dots.

I added an action wobble to this cat and 

it's just so fun for a birthday card!! 

This is the cat in action, he looks like he is ready to pounce!

These are all three of the cards together that I made as a Guest Designer using the All Cats stamp set.

Thank you so much to Gerda and Macy

to use your adorable stamps and 
to share some projects with them.

Have a wonderful day!

Pink Ombre Love card featuring Pink and Main stamps

Hi Everyone! 

Today starts a new challenge for the Pink and Main Challenge blog.

This month's challenge is Love.

Perfect for the month of Love. <3 font="">

For my card, I used the True Love stamp set, a Pink to Red Ombre ink pad from Hero Arts and a card sketch. Card sketches always give me inspiration.

I stamped the sentiment with the ombre ink pad and found some card stock to match, embossed it with two different embossing folders and layered it according to the card sketch. Then I added some shimmer with a clear Wink of Stella glitter pen to the sentiment, next I added some heart enamel accents and a glitter enamel accent.
