For the tags, I used the cute bunny from the Seeds of Kindness stamp set with the coordinating die that I copic colored and added some white gel pen accents, I added the bow from the set to make one a girl, so cute! I die cut the tags from the two coordinating 6x6 paper pads, Shades of Spring and Spring Fling. The grass/hill border on the tag is from the Scallop Waves die. The "Happy Easter" sentiment is stamped and heat embossed with white and is from the Easter Peeps stamp set. Next, I wanted to personalize the tags for our kids, so I used the Banner Alpha stamp set, the individual letter made this so easy!! Of course, I had to add (Heart) Easter Bunny!

Thank you so much for stopping by!

For the card, I wanted the animals to look like they were peeking out. So I stamped, colored and fussy cut the animals from the set then paper pieced the gift and cake,

also from the set.

Next, I die cut three circles from a rainbow chevron patterned paper then added the "Hooray!" sentiment and heat set in clear embossing powder. Then I added the animals to the circles. I layered this onto some burlap, then added some orange patterned paper behind the burlap. I added these layers to a top folding A2 Kraft card base.

Aren't these critters just so fun?!

 To the inside of the card, I added a white card stock die cut panel with the rest of the sentiment. Next, I added the Lion from the set and the cake that I colored and paper pieced the frosting next to the Lion.

Thanks for stopping by!

Also, a big thank you to Gerda Steiner Designs, LLC for giving me the opportunity to be a guest designer again.

A Green Smile card featuring Pink and Main stamps

Hi Everyone!!

Happy St. Patrick's day!
May your day be filled with lots of luck!

Today I am sharing a card featuring
Pink and Main stamps and dies.

 For my card, I used the Smile die,
the Nested Hexagon die (smallest one)

and the Stitched Round Rectangle die (largest one.)

I kept the card with a green monochromatic theme to go with St. Patrick's day but not the holiday specifically.

I used the Nested Hexagon die, the smallest one, and die cut several from green patterned paper. Next, I added them to a white cardstock panel then die cut the panel with the Stitched Rounded Rectangle die. Then I die cut the Smile die from white cardstock and added some Mowed Lawn distress ink to the bottom half of the sentiment. Then I added some shimmer to the die cut. I placed the die cut on the panel with the hexagons and added this  to a top folding A2 card base. I finished the card with some clear sequins.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Guest Designer- Hooray!

Hi Everyone!
Today I am sharing a card with a sneak peek of a stamp set being released later on this month for Gerda Steiner Designs. I was honored to be asked again to be a guest designer for them.
This set is called Party Animals 4x6 Clear Stamp Set by Gerda Steiner Designs and is being released on March 22nd along with more stamps and dies. Make sure to check it out!!

Aren't these critters just so fun??

I started the card by stamping the cake, using some post it notes and masking the cake then stamping the lion to the left and the crocodile to the right to look like he is holding the cake. Next I stamped the gift to the left hand side of the card, making sure I left room for the rhino and masked the gift. Then I stamped the rhino and the ostrich. Before I colored the images, I masked them all to create the background. For the background, I made a 'ground' for the critters by masking a line with post-it tape. I added some Mustard Seed distress ink to the horizon and blended that into

Broken China distress ink for the blue sky.

For the ground portion,

I just moved the tape to the sky portion

and added some Gathered Twigs distress ink.

Then I was able to color the images with copic markers, I added some white and black gel pen accents. To the candle on the cake and the ribbon on the gifts, I added some shimmer.

Finally, I stamped and then heat embossed the sentiments from the stamp set.

On the inside of the card, I stamped the gorilla

and added a gift on top of his head for fun.

For this, I stamped the gift first,

masked the gift, then stamped the gorilla.

Finally, I copic colored these images.

So Stinkin' Kind of you featuring Pink and Main Stamps

Hi Everyone! 

Today I am sharing a project for Pink and Main stamps.

Today I am using the Shades of Spring 6x6 paper, Spring Color Pop 6x6, and Scentsational stamp set and dies.

I started the card with a little masking before I colored the images. I stamped the cute Skunk with the flower in black ink and then made a mask of the skunk, placed it over the skunk then stamped the log. Next, I stamped the snail, ladybug, butterfly and sentiment around the skunk and colored all the images with copic markers and added some gel pen accents and grass. I die cut the panel with a Stitched Oval die. I also stamped, colored and die cut a few mushrooms and flowers for the card. 

Next, I made a white A2 card base and added some layers from the Shades of Spring, Spring Color pop 6x6 paper pads and black card stock. I die cut the blue patterned paper with the largest scallop in the Scallop Border die set. I added some white rick rack to the top of the black and white chevron pattern and then finished it off with some Totally White Trendy Twine and a bow.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

I hope you have a wonderful day and Don't forget to color today!!

March Pink and Main Challenge: Hello Spring!

Hi Everyone! 

Today starts a new Challenge at the 

Pink and Main Challenge blog.

This month's challenge for March 2017 is Spring.

For my project, I made a card using the Spring Train stamp set and the *NEW* Coordinating dies for the set just released in February 2017.

I started the card out by stamping, coloring and die cutting the cute images from the Spring Train stamp set with copic markers and I combined some traditional coloring with dot coloring to add some texture to the bunny and bear. Next, I used the Stitched Rounded Rectangles die and die cut some colorful plaid patterned paper from the Spring Fling 6x6 paper for the background, I also die cut a Stitched circle and scalloped circle using the polka dot yellow paper from the same paper for a sun. I added a happy face to the sun using the Sweet Faces Set 2 stamp set and of course, some cheeks! Next, I used some green patterned paper from the Shades of Spring 6x6 paper to die cut a hill for the cute train to ride on with the Scallop Waves Die. Then, I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment from the set in white. I added this panel to a white A2 card base then finished with a bee and butterfly. I also added some Totally White Trendy Twine to connect each car. Finally, I added some coordinating enamel hearts.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a wonderful day!
