"Birthday Serenade"

Hello everybody, this is Chris with you today. I´m sharing with you a Birthdaycard I made using the cute frogs.

I love the sound of frogs and so I decided to let the frogs sing a birthday song for someone special. 

• For that I had to change the stamp a little bit. Before I made the impression on the paper, I carefully wiped the mouth of the frogs and after stamping I paint a round mouth by hand 
• for the Background: stamping the "Notes" with VersaMark and heat embossed and then blending with Distress oxides
• stamped the letters with a stamping tool in several colors, outlined with a black pen and fussy cut the finished word 
• I arranged the images and glued them down (with some foam tape) 

Take a look at your stamp sets at home - maybe you have a set, which you can do with little changes something new. 



    

Thank you for stopping by the blog today for some inspiration and I hope you like "the funny frog version"

Have a happy day.

Chris

Nothing Compares 2 You

Hi everyone and welcome back to our creative space! 

Raluca here with a brand new card showcasing the awesome "Vinyl Greetings" stamp set along with the "Music" cling stamp from the new Create a Smile Stamps release.

After last week's card I decided to create a similar card, using the same sketch, but easier to create than the last one.

* I die cut a white panel with the largest stitched rectangle die and mounted it on a bigger mint card base using craft foam.
* On the panel I stamped the "Music" cling stamp using different ink pads, so I would get like a rainbow effect.

* On a white piece of cardstock I stamped in dark grey the vinyl and stamped one of the sentiments from the set using a purple ink pad.

* I die cut it using a circle die and mounted it on the card.

* Glued a few clear sequins and my card was done.

Never Walk Alone

Hi everyone and welcome back to our creative space! 

Raluca here with a brand new card showcasing the awesome "Vinyl Greetings" stamp set along with the "Music" cling stamp, both from the new Create a Smile Stamps release.

As soon as I've seen the new "Music" cling stamp I though about this design. The "Music" stamp coordinates so beautiful with the "Vinyl Greetings" and I love how this card turned out.

 * I die cut a white panel with the largest stitched rectangle die and mounted it on a bigger white card base using craft foam.
* On a panel painted by my 4 yrs old daughter I white embossed the "Music" cling stamp, die cut it using the same stitched rectangle die and trimmed it to be much smaller than the white panel.
* I adhered the painted piece on the card using double sided tape.

* On a piece of vellum I stamped and white embossed the vinyl and stamped one of the sentiments from the set.

* I die cut it using one of the postage edge circles and mounted it on the card.

* Glued a few gold sequins and my card was done.
