MyStyleStamps - Little Pumpkin


Hey guys, this is my Card #2 from the stamp set Little Pumpkin by MyStyleStamps. I wanted to create a simple card using just the small images and sentiments from the stamp set. My previous card used all the images that can be colored and required a lot of fussy cutting. In this card, I used two of the leaf images and two of the word sentiments.


For the background, I used a wood grain image on kraft paper, trimmed it a bit and then laid it on top of my kraft card base. Using a 3" circle punch, I just punched some green pattern paper. Layered above that on dimensional pop dots is the Onesie Die from TGF. I decorated the onesie with some dash lines, orange twine and two small brown brads as the buttons. I stamped the little leaves from the stamp set with a brown and orange ink. The word "little" is from the set, and "pumpkin" is half the sentiment of "to my pumpkin", I just inked up the word that I wanted to use.

So that is my card. I hope you enjoyed it. I wanted to show you another type of card that you can make that doesn't require you to have to spend time coloring images and making a big production out of it. 

This stamp set "Little Pumpkin" is scheduled to release September 18th, keep your eye out at the MyStylesStamp Blog or Zibbet Store.

Have a great day!

FFF - Hip to be Square


Woohoo it's Friday! Let's start the weekend with the Farm Fresh Friday Challenge over at The Greeting Farm. Today's title is "Hip to be Square", use three squares any way you want. Here's my card and I used three 1 3/4" squares. The image from TGF is Frou Frou Fabulous. I thought the sentiment that I used from KaiserCraft went perfect with the image because her eyes are closed. The large heart die on the card is from the Film & Polaroid Die set.


I like shape challenges, it gives me a chance to use my punches. Come play along with us over at the TGF Blog and enter a chance to win a TGF image.

GOOD LUCK and HAPPY WEEKEND!!

Retro Fresh Challenge - Autumn Colors


Hello it's me again, wow three days in a row! Well today's card share is for the Retro Fresh Challenge over at The Greeting Farm. The theme is Autumn Colors.  I am using Anya Blooms, which was released in March, so it does qualify for the 6 months or older requirement. Can you believe it, this was just released this year?! Time flies.

She is colored with my Copics and I added some shimmer accents with a Gelly Roll Clear Star Pen. I fussy cut her out and placed her on dimensional pop dots. I used my new dies from MFT, Leafy Flourish Die and the First Place Ribbon Die. The "Happy Fall" sentiment matched perfectly with this challenge's theme. 


Take out your older TGF stamps and play along with this month's Retro Fresh Challenge over at the TGF Blog!

GOOD LUCK!!

GVT - Textures


Hi everyone! I also want to welcome my new followers on my blog. Thank you for taking the time to see what crafty things I'm up to. Now on to this week's Garden Variety Tuesday Challenge - Textures over at The Greeting Farm. Here is my card using Royal Cutie Pies. This set comes with two girl images, I used the other one on this post here

I tried to include as many textures as possible on this card. First let's start off with the base of the card, it's corrugated. To make this more feminine, I added a layer of lace trim and a doily cut out. The pink ribbon has a printed grid pattern and I added a heart rhinestone for bling. The image itself has many textures. Her crown is covered with Yellow Stickles and her top is covered with Star Dust Stickles. I used Glossy accents on the heart of the crown, as well has her ribbons on her hair and shoes. Her cute pink skirt was first layered with Glossy Accents and then covered with Diamond Dust (a chunky type of glitter). There were so many components on this card, I hope that it all flows together.


Now you don't have to go all crazy like me on this challenge, just do what feels right to you. Come join this challenge over at the TGF Blog!

GOOD LUCK!!

MyStyleStamps - Happy Fall


Happy Monday, I wanted to share with you my "Happy Fall" card from MyStyleStamps. All the images are from the new Little Pumpkin Set. This set also comes with Halloween themed images/sentiments but I went for the Fall theme first.

I colored all the images with my Copics and fussy cut them out. The images are the fence, the cat/pumpkin, the small pumpkin and the girl in the pumpkin costume. I placed all of them in a cluster at the center of the card. Underneath the "Happy Fall" sentiment, I layered several leaf die cuts from scraps. 


This stamp set has so many possibilities and I can't wait to play around with it some more. This stamp set is going to be available September 18th, keep up to date over at the MyStyleStamps Blog or at the Zibbet Store.  Here's my video for the card. Thanks for stopping by!

FFF - Picture This


Hello you happy people! It's Farm Fresh Friday over at The Greeting Farm. "Picture This" is today's challenge theme. 

Here is my card using the Picture Perfect Set. There are two character images, I used the boy. He is colored with my Copic markers, also I usually use Neenah 80lb paper to color on but I switched it up and am using Gina K Designs 110lb paper this time. It's a much thicker cardstock that allows the color to not get absorbed quickly, which I think it makes it easier to blend in my opinion. I still love Neenah paper but am falling back in love again with Gina K. 


The die cuts in the background are made from the Film & Polaroid Set. I only added some Stickles to the camera. 

Thanks for stopping by. Join us on this challenge over at the TGF Blog and have a fabulous weekend!

GOOD LUCK!!

"Birthday Fun" IARCC



Happy Birthday! To who? Anyone and everyone. This month's theme over at the I Am Roses Challenge Blog is "Birthday Fun" and it's also a Color Challenge, Yellow. I created these "Mini Birthday Hat Place Settings". Hehehe that's a mouthful.

I've been doing so many cards lately, I wanted to actually create something else. This is a cute and fun decor for a birthday party. Change up the pattern paper/colors to match the party theme. The Mini Hats are constructed from one piece of a 6x6 paper that I cut and rounded off one of the corners and rolled up the sheet to make the cone shape. I chose the colors Pink & Yellow for a girly party. These measure about 6 1/2" H x 3" W. If you add some string on both sides of the base, you can easily make it into a wearable mini hat.


I made a monogram banner on a toothpick and inserted it behind the flowers. These look more cute as place settings then a plain rectangular card. 

I used the Big Yellow Puffy Daisies as the base of the floral centerpiece and then used a variety of flowers (see links below for a list of the flowers) for the center. Changing up the centers make them more unique and different from one another.


These were so fun to make and now I want to have a party and make some more LOL. Maybe I'll use these for a scrap party.

GOOD LUCK!!
