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.

I used the just released Happy For You stamp set, Happy For You coordinating dies with the Be Brave 6x6 paper pad and the Stitched Rounded Rectangle die. I started with a top folding A2 white card base, then die cut a white panel from the Stitched Rounded Rectangles die (the largest one) then die cut a few hearts from that panel and in laid a few die cut hearts from the Be Brave patterned papers.

Seas The Day shaker card featuring Pink and Main stamps

Hi Everyone!

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

(This blog post contains affiliate links. Compensated affiliate links used when possible at no extra cost to you. I just receive a small portion of the sales through your purchase. So Thank You!!)

I made a shaker card using the new Seas The Day stamp set and the coordinating Seas The Day dies.
I started the card out by stamping, and copic coloring the cute Octopus and Turtle from the set, along with the starfish and some coral and greenery.
Then I die cut the Octopus, Turtle and starfish. 
Next, I die cut several frames (about 10), made with the two largest Stitched Rounded Rectangles Dies, to create a window for the shaker. I also die cut two of the largest Stitched Rounded Rectangles for the background and the inside of the card. Next, I suspended the Octopus and Turtle inside the shaker frame using some clear thread, they can move around just a bit. I stamped the bubbles on the background using some coordinating ink. Then I added the background panel to a A2 card base, followed by the shaker frame with the suspended Octopus and Turtle. Next, I took some Heat Resistant Acetate and embossed the "Seas the Day" sentiment in white from the set. I added some sequins and seed beads to the shaker window before layering the acetate and two more frames on top of that.

The Octopus and Turtle move around the shaker card

just a bit, its a really fun card.

The sentiment is a little hard to see in pictures, so here is a close up of it. I hope you were inspired today!! Shaker cards are so much fun and the possibilities are endless!!

For my project, I made a fun 2x2 Mini Album using several products from this month's Pink and Main release, along with the Xyron Create a Sticker Max, 1.5in. Sticker Maker and the Wedge Shaped Permanent Glue stick.

I started the mini album by using a Lori Whitlock svg, a 2x2 accordion mini album, that I cut with the Cricut Explore Air 2 out of the Beach Babe 6x6 paper pad and a few other coordinating card stocks. Then I ran those pieces to adhere them through the Create a Sticker Max and built my album, the few pieces that only needed a little bit of adhesive, I used the Wedge shaped glue stick and built the album.

Next, I went on to decorate the cover. I stamped, colored and die cut the images from the Sending Waves stamp set and the Sending Waves Dies. I stamped and die cut the sentiment in white and used the Stitched Rounded Rectangles die (Smallest One).

The pages all together in the accordion album. 

The pages are simply decorated to leave plenty of room for journaling, pictures, stickers, etc. I used the Stitched Rounded Square Die to create some journaling spots from some lined project life cards. The album has about 5 of these spots.

I also used The Scoop stamp set and The Scoop Coordinating Dies. I also used the Stitched Rounded Rectangles die for the sentiment from the set. How cute are these images?!? The Create a Sticker Max was perfect to add all these images to the album.

For the back of the album, I added a Stitched Rounded Rectangle Die in white to add the name and date.

Front and back covers.

This little album came out so cute and I think it will be perfect for our kids to record their summer memories in!

For my card, I used the Need Coffee stamp set, which also has newly released coordinating Need Coffee dies too!! I started with a white top folding card base, next I layered some fun coordinating coffee themed patterned paper from Doodlebug Design then used the Stitched Rounded Rectangles Die (Largest one) to die cut the background.

Then I stamped the sentiment on the bottom half of the doily in dark brown ink. Next, I stamped and colored the girl with black, copic friendly ink, I colored her hair, curlers and skin with copics.

 These big, bold sentiments are just amazing and so fun to work with. I enjoy making them the center of the card. For my card today, I used the new Wishes stamp set. I stamped the sentiment in black ink on watercolor card stock, stamped again in versamark ink, then shifted the sentiment slightly and stamped again with versamark ink and set it with clear embossing powder. Then I stamped the "On Your Special Day" sentiment also from the set in with versamark and heat embossed it with white powder. Then I added distress ink blended over it in teal to green. Next, I splattered it with shimmer mist to add some sparkle, the I die the panel with the Stitched Rounded Rectangles Die, I also die cut a frame with the same size and the next size up from the Rectangle dies. I inlaid the panel in the frame and added this to the white A2 card base. I finished the card with some star sequins in silver, clear and teal. Then I added some silver crystal Nuvo drops to accent.

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.

A Hello from Him and Her featuring Pink and Main

Hi Everyone! 
I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving full of turkey, 
pie and lots of love!

Today I am sharing a project featuring 
Pink and Main stamps.
I used the newly released Picture Perfect stamp set and coordinating dies, Mini Faces Set 2 and 3, Stitched Squares and Stitched Ovals.

I created two cards with each image, a boy and girl card, I made them after our son and daughter. I thought these would be fun for them to send out, maybe to their Grandma in California.

For the girl, I stamped and colored her with copic markers and die cut her with the coordinating dies. Next I die cut and embossed some pink patterned paper with the Stitched Oval dies and layered this on some coordinating patterned paper all added to a matching pool party card base. I added the sentiment to the girl's frame with black ink and some clear embossing powder. To finish the card, I added some rhinestones and a white bow.

For the boy, I stamped and colored him with copic markers as well, then die cut him with the coordinating dies. I stamped, colored, and fussy cut the hair again. I wanted the glasses to be behind his hair. So that's how I achieved that look. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment from Hello Friend to his frame. Next, I die cut a white piece of card stock with the Stitched Rectangles die and then die cut a square out of that with the Stitched Squares die to look like a polaroid frame for him to sit behind on the card. I added some navy patterned paper to the card front then added my layers. The boy is popped up with one layer of dimensional foam tape and the frame has two layers. To finish the card and the sentiment, I die cut the Hello from the Hello dies in kraft card stock. I also added some glossy accents to his glasses.
