This Little Piggy

I love all animals but usually don’t pay much attention to the animal stamp sets.  I usually gravitate to the flowers and sentiment sets.  But I love the new This Little Piggy Stamp set from Stampin’ Up!  So Cute!  There are a ton of ideas on Pinterest using this set.  All of these cards came directly from there.  Here’s a look at the stamp set:

Already makes you smile, right?  Ok here are the cards I made with it so far.

On this card I used sponge daubers to make the oval and color the pig.  It was a fast way to add color and since I was cutting out I didn’t have to stay in the lines.  Paper is from Whole Lot of Lovely DSP and piece of Tranquil Tide and Pool Party Card stock.  The base of the card uses Soft Suede Card Stock.  Here’s the inside:

Simple sentiment but so cute.  Probably could have added a cloud or two inside to dress it up.

Next card is using the Delightful Daisy DSP on a Daffodil Delight Card base.  I used blender pens to color in everything.

Next card uses some In-Color DSP and Powder Pink Card Stock.  Love the sentiment on this one! 🙂

Last card uses one of my favorite color combinations from the new catalog; Berry Burst and Lemon Lime Twist.

Just for You Watercolor Words

Today, I want to show you my last card inspiration using WaterColor Words.  I cased it from pinterest.   Now this card took a bit of time but I love the look and the colors!

There are so many pieces so let me list the supplies:

Cardbase:  Temping Turquoise Card Stock, Card Stock for Flowers is Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral, Pumpkin Pie, and Pear Pizzaz,  White embossing Powder, Basic Black Baker’s Twine, Basic Black Card Stock and Ink, Rhinestones, Layered Leaves Texture Folder and Lots of Labels Framelits.

The flowers and leaves are heat embossed using white embossing powder then I cut them out (a little time consuming).  The card base, I ran thru the BigShot with the Layered Leaves Texture Folder.  I used the Lots of Labels Framelits to cut out paper for the sentiment.  The Rhinestones I colored with a black sharpie (yes you can do that!).

Hope you enjoyed this card and I hope I’ve inspired you to purchase the WaterColor Words Stamp set.

Watercolor Words and Color

I hope everyone had a great 4th of July! We enjoyed a day with family and friends! Good food, good conversation, and great people. Besides the heat, I really love the lazy days of summer.

I’ve had plenty of time to play with some of my less used stamp sets. Watercolor Words is one of those sets that I don’t see used often but I love it’s simplicity and how easy it is to use to make a quick card!

I looked at pinterest for inspiration and found a few ideas.   Over the next few days I’ll share some of my cards using this set.

This card uses Crumb Cake as it’s base.  The mat is cut from the same Crumb Cake paper and I’ve heat embossed white hearts on the bottom half.  I used layering circles in Berry Burst Paper and Stitched Framelits for the sentiment.  I used a Blender Pen and colored in the heart using Berry Burst Ink.  The sentiment is stamped in Basic Black Ink.  I tied a Berry Burst Ribbon around the mat and then adhered it to the base.  I used Wink of Stella and flicked little droplets onto the finished card to add some shine.  I love how it turned out!   Enjoy today and create something!

Oh So Eclectic

Summer is here and in full swing!  Which means in Texas we are hot, humid, and sticky.  Good time to stay in and make cards and try not to think about my beautiful flowers sweltering in the heat.  🙂

Love this new stamp set with all the flower options and the cute sentiments.

 

Lots of options available with this bundle!  I used some new In-Colors:  Berry Burst Ink and Paper, Lemon Lime Twist Ink and Paper, Powder Pink Ink, and Soft Sky Ink.  Love how it turned out!  I cased (copy and share everything) this card from Jari at Card-iology!

Here’s the ingredients:  Berry Burst card stock and ink, Lemon Lime Twist card stock and ink, Soft Sky Ink, Powder Pink Ink, Whisper White card stock, linen thread.

Enjoy and create today!

 

Crazy About You Stamp

This is one stamp set that I’m really sad to see go.  🙁  It was one of the first ones I bought from Stampin’ Up when I joined as a demonstrator over 2 years ago.  I liked it because it had so many possibilities!

Look at all those sentiments you can put together and say so much!  The Crazy About You stamp set is on the retiring list so get it soon before it’s gone!

It pairs well with the Flower Medallian Punch item #137417.  That punch is used to punch out the biggest flower on the next card!  

 

 

Such a cute and easy card!  Here are the card ingredients:

Base:  Pear Pizzaz card stock 8.5″x5.5″, scored at 4.25″, strip of Succulent Garden DSP 2″x5.5″,  Watermelon Wonder card stock.  I used stitched framelits and layering circles.  Ink is Old Olive and Watermelon Wonder.

Take some time to create today!

Crazy for You and Vellum

This vellum is from the Occasions Catalog.  I cased this card from Aly Stamps.  I’ve found it hard to be creative with this vellum but her card was perfect.  I used Crazy for You for the flower and the sentiment is from Painted Petals Stamp Set.  I love the pop of Calypso Coral with the green!

So I had so much fun with my last blue and yellow card, I wanted to repeat that theme with this one.  I used the Painted Petals Designer Series Paper.  The fastest way to make a cute card is to use the Designer Paper, the patterns are so cute and if you need a quick card just add a sentiment and your are ready!  The sentiment I used is from Sheltering Tree, I love the fancy writing look.  🙂
