For my card, I used a few newly released products The Scoop stamp set, The Scoop coordinating Dies, Beach Bum 6x6 paper pad, Hello Die and the Stitched Rounded Rectangles Die to create my Red, White and Blue card.

I started the card by stamping, coloring and die cutting the boy with the ice cream cone from The Scoop stamp set and die. Next, I die cut a rectangle window out of the white card front panel with the Stitched Rounded Rectangle die then  I added the sentiment "What's the Scoop?" to the bottom of the window in black ink. Then, I embossed the panel with a We Are Memory Keepers Next Level folder- Dotted. I popped up the panel on a white card base and added some of the navy patterned paper from the Beach Bum 6x6 paper pad to the window and added the cute boy on the top.

I die cut the Hello from white and red card stock for dimension and added it to the top of the card. Finally, I finished the card with some enamel dots after I added the boy to the window.

I always try to add a little something to the inside of the card and I added a strip of the patterned paper and a colored and die cut ice cream cone from the set.

For this month's challenge card,
I made an acetate window card.
I haven't made one in so long, it was about time!
I used the new stamp set Plane Sweet, along with its coordinating dies from the April 2017 release.

I used a top folding standard card base, I die cut a cloud border from the top and the bottom in two layers to sandwich the acetate panel for the front. I stamped the sentiment on the top panel and heat embossed it in clear. Then I stamped and colored the cute bear in the plane and the banner  with the "hello" from the set and colored with copic markers and added a few shimmer and gel pen accents. Then I die cut both pieces with the coordinating dies.

Next, I added some Totally White Trendy Twine to the banner and the plane, I made a loop and secured that with a dot of adhesive. Then I popped the plane and banner up with foam squares to the card front. I also die cut extra pieces of the bear and banner to adhere to the inside of the card so the adhesive did not show. Then I added some of the cloud patterned paper from the Take Flight 6x6 paper pad also from the Pink and Main April 2017 release to the inside of the card.

For my interactive card, I wanted to try out a slider card. I started by stenciling some clouds on a white card stock panel die cut from the Stitched Rounded Rectangles die, I also made a hilly ground using the 6x6 Shades of Spring paper and the Scallop Waves die. The bunny in the wheel barrow is from the Seeds of Kindness stamp set, that is copic colored and paper pieced from the same paper stack then die cut with the coordinating Seeds of Kindness dies. Next, I stamped and colored the cute skunk from the Scentsational stamp set, along with several flowers and lady bugs to accent the card front and also, used the coordinating dies. To finish the card off, I die cut the Smile sentiment from the Smile Die and added some yellow ink to the bottom half and some shimmer over all of it. Then I added the sentiment from the Seeds of Kindness stamp set and heat embossed it in white. This panel was added to a kraft card base.

The slider portion is small but fun.

The bunny slides in the wheel barrow along the hill.

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.

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.

I just want to drink coffee... featuring Pink and Main stamps

Hi Everyone! 

I hope you had a wonderful holiday 

and start to the New Year! 

Today I am sharing a project featuring 

Pink and Main stamps.

For my card base, I used the new Stitched Circle Dies for a fun circle card that measures about 4.75 in. so it will fit into an A2 envelope. I just adore this cute sloth from the Sloths stamp set, he's holding a cup of coffee, tea or cocoa, whatever you want it to be. I thought coffee and went with the coordinating sentiment from the set. I stamped and copic colored the sloth, then die cut him using the coordinating Sloth dies. Next, I heat embossed the sentiment in white on a purple card stock strip and layered that with some iridescent glitter washi tape. The background is embossed with a Tim Holtz coffee embossing folder then die cut with the same Stitched Circle Dies. I finished the card with a few heart sequins.

Autumn Thanks

Hi Everyone! 

Today starts a new challenge for the 
Pink and Main Challenge Blog,

This month's Challenge is Autumn.

Here is the card I created for the challenge.

For my card, I used the Thanks die (Pink and Main Stamps) and cut the sentiment with gold foil cardstock and the shadow with vellum. I created the background using the technique I learned from Jennifer McGuire- Faux Textured Metal Paper. I used some fall distress ink colors- Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade, and Fired brick and added some Gold Perfect pearls to the top, then I embossed that panel with the Fall Leaves Swirl embossing folder (Darice). I added the panel to a chocolate chip card base (SU). The effect with the pretty Thanks die is just so pretty and perfect for fall!! 

I can't wait to see what everyone creates for 

the Pink & Main Autumn Challenge!

Have a wonderful day!

Lunch box note cards (Pink and Main August Challenge)

Hi Everyone!

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

This month's challenge is- School!
Can you believe it's already time to think about school? 

I always love to send little notes in our kid's lunches, so I'm always trying to create some small note cards to send them. Here are the cards I created.

Here is a close up of each 3x3 card.

The sentiment on this card is from two sets, the 'Spectacular' from Owl Nerds and the 'Buddy' is from Hello Friend set.

This cutie was a freebie with purchase that I just adore! 

The sentiment from the Grad Owl set fits perfectly inside the little laptop screen.

I stamped and colored each owl from various stamp sets with Copic markers. Then I used the Edumacation stack from DCWV to layer each image on the kraft card bases. Finally I added some glossy accents to each card, mostly the glasses and the beaks of the owls. I finished them with some coordinating enamel dots. I can't wait to give these to our kids in their lunches. 

Pink and Main products used:

Owl Nerds stamp set

A Colorful Hello

Hi Everyone! 

Today I am sharing a project for the 

Pink and Main design team.

This month the Pink and Main Challenge is Shakers, I love to make them, love to give them and get them! They are just so fun! So I made a shaker card with the *NEW* Nesting Hexagon dies and used the Hello die as the sentiment.

For the card, I die cut a white card stock panel from the Rounded stitched rectangle die. I made several shaker windows with the smallest Hexagon die then filled them with rainbow and small heart iridescent sequins. Then added the Hello sentiment that is die cut with black card stock then accented with some Crystal Clear Spectrum Noir sparkle pen and added some glossy accents.

I love how sparkly the sentiment is with 

the Spectrum Noir sparkle pen and glossy accents.
