You're the Sweetest Card

Hi there!
Samantha here, and today I am sharing a happy, and sweet thank you card!

     

As I was flipping through my stamps, I came across these adorable images on the A Little Treat stamp set and knew I had to make a card with those big grins on the popsicles! lol!

Let's make this card together!

- first, I stamped colored all the images with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then once they were all dry, I fussy cut them out!
- I used Distress Oxide Inks to ink blend the background! the colors I used were Abandoned Coral, Dried Marigold, Worn Lipstick and Tattered Rose
- then I used the stencil and some clear embossing paste (which I mixed with some sequin stars to add some texture!!)

- I die cut out the letters from black cardstock and then very delicately glued them on the background! lol!

- next, I heat embossed the rest of the sentiment in white onto a black strip and added it to the card! 

- I die cut out the panel with the scalloped rectangle, too!

- I also stamped some images in black on the base of the card for a little contrast!

I love that texture inside the scattered hearts of clear embossing paste! I mixed some star sequins into the clear embossing paste on my kraft mat, and then spread it through the stencil!

The "merry" letters were die cut out with the Cherry Lowercase Cool Cuts and sweetest popsicles ever are from the A Little Treat stamp set! The background features the pretty Scattered Hearts stencil! I also used the Cool Cuts Scalloped Rectangles to die cut out the panel!

    

There is ALWAYS a fun challenge going on in the Create a Smile Stamp Facebook group page! It's fun and filled with prizes! I love seeing all of the incredible, unique and amazing inspiration!

For the Newlywed!

Hiiii!! It's nice and warm these days and in the summer, there's definitely more weddings and what better way to add to your gift with a handmade congratulations card to the newlywed?

Today, I'm using this bear stamp set called Dress Me Up! How cute is this? You can dress it up in anyway you please.

I know that I wanted to make a couple of bears and so I just stamped them out on a piece of watercolour paper along with their clothings. Colour them and stick on their clothes. It's that simple and FUN!

For the background, I've used the Scattered Hearts stencil which is just so lovely, with the classic white embossing powder.

I've decided not to have any sentiment at the front. Instead, I've stamped and embossed it inside the card using this sweet sentiment from the Just Because stamp set.

I hope you like this card and give these stamps and stencil a try!

Hey everyone and welcome back to our creative space! Raluca here with a brand new card showcasing two of the new awesome products: Sharp One stamp set and Scattered Hearts stencil!

.

I love shakers and I wanted to create one using the new Sharp One stamp set.

* I die cut a white panel using the largest stitched rectangle die and glued it to a white card base.

* I cut a smaller purple panel and ink blended the Scattered Hearts on it using white ink.

* I die cut a rectangle window frame using two of the stitched dies, added an acetate piece and foam tape behind the frame, creating the window shaker.

* I filled the shaker with a beautiful sequins mix and glued it to the purple panel.

* I adhered the shaker to the card base.

* I stamped the images, colored them with my Spectrum Noir markers and fussy cut them.

* I mounted the images on the card and white embossed a sentiment on a yellow banner, added it to the card and my card was done.
