Hi Everyone!

I'm sad to say that this will be my last post as a Pink and Main Design Team member. I started a new full time job in August as a Middle School classroom monitor and I just don't have the extra time right now but I have really enjoyed the privilege of being part of the team.

Now onto my card, I used the new Autumn Blessings stamp set along with the coordinating Autumn Blessings die and Pumpkin Spice 6x6 paper pad.
I started with a dark brown card base, I die cut a cream colored panel with the Stitched Rounded Squares die and stamped the cute boy and girl mice and sentiment "When I count my Blessings I count you twice" all in brown ink. Next, I copic colored the mice and paper pieced the apron and cuffs of the girl mouse. I also stamped, colored and die cut the pie from the set for them to hold. To the card base, I added a panel of patterned paper from the 6x6 pad and also some orange patterned paper that is die cut from the Scalloped Border die and added to the bottom of the first panel. Next, I stamped the "Happy Thanksgiving" sentiment in brown ink to another strip of orange patterned paper and added it to the bottom after I put some coordinating twine on it. I also added a hand cut flag banner to the top left of the card also decorated with some twine.

Hip, Hippo, HOORAY!!

Hi Everyone!
I hope you are having a wonderful week so far.

Happy First Day of Fall!!

I am so ready for it this year.

Today, I am sharing a card inspired by the current My Favorite Things card sketch challenge #351.

For my card, I wanted to use two new products that I received recently. The cute Happy Hippos (MFT) and the Fairy Tales 6x6 paper (Doodlebug Designs).

I stamped and colored the two hippos with black ink, then colored them with copic markers. Next, I fussy cut them out. Then I used the Fairy Tales paper for the card layers. I used the Scallop Waves Die (Pink and Main stamps) and rounded the corners with a 1/2 in corner chomper (WRMK). Next, I stamped the sentiment in black ink and hand cut it out then layered it on some Orange cardstock (Bazzill) and foam mounted it. I die cut some balloons with the Birthday Balloons die (MFT) from some coordinating dotted patterned paper (The Paper Studio) and the strings from white card stock. Then, I added some white gel pen accents and finished the card off with some Lily White glitter sprinkles (Doodlebug Designs).

I was so excited to have a few moments to create a card and play along with the challenge.

Thank You so much for stopping by!

Have an amazing day!

Serene Llama card featuring Pink and Main stamps

Hi Everyone!

For the card today, I used the new Llamas stamp set and coordinating Llamas die paired with the Pumpkin Spice 6x6 paper pad. I started with a standard A2 card base made from kraft card stock. Then I die cut a Stitched Circle die from some brown patterned paper from the 6x6 pad, along with two coordinating strips. Next, I stamped the resting Llama in rich cocoa ink then in versamark ink and heat set it with clear embossing powder and colored the Llama with distress inks. Finally, I die cut the Llama with the coordinating die. I added all the layers to the card front and then stamped the sentiments from the same set, they are just so punny!! I finished the card with some gold sequins.

Fall In Love featuring Gerda Steiner Designs

Hi Everyone!

Gerda Steiner Designs.

I am using the Fall In Love 4x6 stamp set,

so fun and perfect for all those fall cards and projects.

For the card, I started out with a cream colored top folding A2 card base made from 110# cream card stock from Recollections. I stamped the two separate leaves from the stamp set in three ink colors: Desert Storm (Memento), Crumb Cake and Always Artichoke (SU!) inks. Then I sponged the edges with the Crumb Cake Ink. Next, I stamped the cute squirrel couple on Crumb Cake card stock (SU) in Rich Cocoa ink (Memento) then colored them in with copic markers with some white color pencil accents, then fussy cut them out. Then I die cut a rectangle using the Zig Zag Stitched Rectangles dies (MFT) out of crumb cake card stock and stamped the sentiment "Fall In Love" in rich cocoa ink as well as, the leaves then I popped up the rectangle on the card base with foam adhesive and the cute squirrel couple to finish off the card.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Thankful for you fall foliage card featuring Pink and Main stamps

Hi Everyone!

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

For the card today, I used the newly released Fall Bouquets stamp set and coordinating Fall Bouquets dies and Pumpkin Spice 6x6 paper pad. I started the card with a top folding A2 cream colored card base, then I picked two patterned papers from the 6x6 paper pad and the cream cardstock, layered them and die cut them out of the largest Stitched Rounded Rectangle die. Then I stamped the pretty flowers and bird from the Fall Bouquets stamp set in rich cocoa ink, then in versamark ink and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder, so that I could do some Distress ink watercoloring. When the image was dry, I die cut it with the coordinating die. Next, I stamped the "Thankful for you" sentiment with the rich cocoa ink on the layered panel. Then, I added some coordinating Trendy Twine to the panel and added fun foam to the back of the panel and adhered it to the card base. I finished the card with a few enamel dots.

Today I am sharing a card featuring a *NEW* Gerda Steiner Designs stamp set: Fall In Love.

For this card, I started with a crumb cake (SU!) side folding card base. I took another piece of crumb cake card stock and stamped the tree, leaves and sentiment all in Rich Cocoa ink (Memento) then copic colored the images. I also stamped the cute Owl couple from the set and copic colored them and fussy cut them out to pop up on the tree branch. I added a strip of chocolate chip card stock to the edge of the panel once I cut it down for the card front. I round the two corners then layered everything. I finished the card with some white prismacolor pencil accents and some glossy accents to the beak and feet.
