Birthday pandas!

Hello, hello! 

Happy Thursday, almost Friday! 

Today, I'm sharing  a sweet birthday panda card I designed for Crafty Stamp Co.! 

Who doesn't love pandas?!...And pandas with balloons?!...Yes, please!! :) I think we can always use a birthday card at any given time, they just seem to 'pop up' out of nowhere (lol) at times, right?!...(hopefully it's not just me that thinks that! lol) 

Without further ado, here is my card...

Ack! So fun, right?!...

When I started things for this card, all I knew was I wanted to use the Party Like a Panda stamp set but I didn't know of a layout or anything. Which led me to flip through the Crafty Stamp Co. Inspired by the Sketch sketchbook. And glad I did! (lol) I went off using sketch #37...a little loosely but you still can see the sketch layout. ;) 

After that, things came together with ease. I just colored up the pandas and then did some fussy cutting once done. Then I used the confetti stencil with a blending brush and hot pink/fuchsia ink and blended it only on part of the left side of the card base. Added the pandas using foam tape and then added a few more pieces of 'confetti' using a black and teal gel pen. To finish things off a stamped sentiment onto white cardstock and then cut things into a banner/flag. Simple and fun, right?!...

I hope I was able to inspire today!?!...Thank you so much for stopping by!
Have a wonderful day!

Best Yetis

Hello, hello! 

Happy FriYAY! :) 

Today, I'm sharing a sweet card I designed for Crafty Stamp Co.! 

Is it just me?...but when cooler days arrive don't you just want to warm yourself with some hot coffee?...and/or hot cocoa?!...And maybe even with a friend?! ;) Well, these 'best yetis' on my card are warming themselves up with each other's company and hot drinks! (lol) 

Cute, right?!...I kept this card nice and simple. Just some stamping using the Yeti for Winter stamp set and then a little bit of fussy cutting. And simple coloring too! ;) Then a little bit of patterned paper from the Nutcracker & Cocoa paper pad that I used a stitched die with and then just layered things together. Before adhering things to my card base, I laid things out to see where I wanted things at, then stamped on the sentiment to the card base. After, I adhered things and popped up the yetis with foam tape, then added a burlap twine bow. Easy peasy, right?!...

That's all for me. Thanks so much for stopping by!

I hope I have inspired you today?!...

Have a wonderful day!

Film strips of love...

Hello, hello! 

Happy Wednesday! 

Today, I have a fun announcement to share...I am now a part of the regular Crafty Stamp Co. design team!! Yay!! Thank you so much, Cristena, Meadow, and all the ladies for having me!! 

For my first official post, I'm sharing a fun and simple love card. Honestly, I didn't know where this card was gonna take me. (lol) All I knew is I wanted to use the Kitten & Kisses stamp set that I had for quite a while and had yet to put it to actual use. ;) 

After some pondering on things, I was thinking of the old film strips. The kind where you would go in the photo booth with friends/boyfriend/girlfriend/etc. and take a bunch of photos and then they were printed out on a strip for you. Do you remember those photo booths?...

Having the stamp set I wanted to use and the Film Strip stencil, that's what I ended up going with. Some photo strips of love! 

Without further ado, here is my card...

I kept things relatively simple. Just some easy stenciling using a blending brush and a pink ink. Then stamped on each image in a 'frame' and did some super simple coloring using black and grey colored pencils. After, I used a stitch die to make a settled border around things and some black paint splatters. Then used a heart die, blended a little pink ink around the edges and stamped on the sentiment and adhered it to the card with foam tape. And to finish things off a little burlap twine bow. Simple, right?!...

Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope I was able to inspire you today?!...I would love to see your take on things! :)

Have a wonderful day!
