Pumpkin Spice, Thankful Mice card featuring Pink and Main stamps

Hi Everyone!

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

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.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

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!

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.

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.
