Catching up...

Hope you're all having a great weekend...just wanted to stop by and share a few projects...

The first are some "dog tags".  I cut out my own heart shapes to make a stencil.  Then used some distress inks to make the backgrounds for these tags.

Stamps used:  Corgi (#6079), Dachshund (#6080), Beagle (#6083), Chihuahua (#6085), Pug (#6087), Woof U (#6088) and Heart/Paw (#6090)

And...a "little aloha" card...who couldn't use some aloha?

Stamps used:  Pineapple (#6067), Girl and Hibiscus stamps are from "Aloha" cling set (CL-17) and "Little Aloha" (SC-15)

Love & Hugs!!

New Stamps!!  Coming Soon!!!

 Each set comes with instructions to make this sliding gift card holder:

It Musubi Love!!

With careful inking and placing a strip of paper over part of the stamp, I was able to change "it musubi your day" into "it musubi".  Added a "love" stamp from CL-14 (Roses).  Mini easel is a tiny 2-1/2" x 2-1/2".

Happy Saturday!!

Whooo Loves You...Coming Soon!!

Pattern and instructions for making this card and envelope are included in this set!!

Mix and Match - Part 2

Back today with more mixin' and matchin'...this time I'm using our new set CL-13 (Bear Hugs) and mixing it up with some different characters:

Max is from MC-2 (So Glad We're Friends)

Ping is from MC-1 (Friend to Friend)

Lil Monster is from MC-3 (Smile)

The arms on each of these characters spread out as you open the card (pattern included in CL-13).

Thanks for stopping by today!!!

New Designs!!

How time flies!!  I guess it's been awhile since I've been around, but I have been busy getting some new stamps ready!!  Without further ado...here are our 2 latest sets:

 As you may know, our large cling stamp sets come with a free project...and here is the project that comes with CL-13 Bear Hugs:

Remove the belly band to reveal:

Open the card wider and the bear's arms stretch out to give you a huge bear hug:

And here is the project that comes with CL-14 Roses:

The word "love" was stamped in the banner...but, you can also fill the banner with names to personalize it!!

I'll be back later to show you how you can tweak these projects for use during the upcoming holidays!!

White On White

Tried doing a mostly white card today...it's hard not using color, but it was fun! I started with paper ribbon from K&Company and white grosgrain ribbon. I stamped and colored stamp #1008 (Teddies) and punched it out with a large (pink) scalloped circle punch by Marvy. I stamped #4015 (Script Love You), then dotted the background with Stickles glitter glue, added stamp #5004 (Rosebud) and added some bling.

To finish the card off I used a decorative pin from Heidi Grace...I added a few beads before sticking it into the ribbon:


Have a great day!

Love You!

Here's the card I promised from last time...it's a little bigger, more colorful version of the Koala card...and I'm still using the clear acetate and stamping on vellum.



I started by cutting out a rectangle in the card (the yellow cardstock). I cut strips of patterned paper and glued them down just on one side on the card. I flipped the card over and using the original rectangle as a guide, I cut through the patterned paper. Then I slipped a piece of acetate between the yellow cardstock and the patterned paper...then I glued EVERYTHING down.



On vellum, I drew a heart shape in pencil (I used a heart template I have), then I used stamps #5035 (Monkey With Flowers), #1105 (Cat With Roses), #4015 (Love You Script) and $5004 (Rosebud).


Then I just cut around everything and erased the heart pencil lines. After that you just have to color everything in and glue it to the back of the acetate. Add glitter, ribbon and a brad (of course) and you're done!
