Not 2 Shabby Shop Watermelon Popsicle Treat Topper

Hello!  Today, I'm sharing a fun little Treat Topper using the Watermelon Popsicle Digital Stamp from Not 2 Shabby Shop!  To create this, I started with the Sizzix Treat Bag Topper Die.  I die cut my base from some red polka-dot paper in my stash.  Then I added some embellishments from that line of papers and added my colored image using some foam tape.  I also added a chipboard sun, a couple of flags and a sentiment.  Then I added it to the top of these watermelon candies, the perfect summer treat!  

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a great day!

La-La Land Crafts Tutorial Thursday- Adding Dimension to Stamped Images

Hello! Today I have a fun little tutorial on how to add dimension to your stamped images. By using some simple fussy cutting techniques and foam tape, you can add instant dimension to your projects!

Step #1:  Choose an image and stamp the same image out 3 times on Copic-friendly Paper.  

Step #2: Using your Copic Markers color up each image.  You want need to color every part of each image.  Just the parts you plan to cut out.  My first image is the body, the middle image is the head, and the 3rd image is going to be our base layer.  

Step #3: Using a good pair of scissors, cut out those parts of the image that you colored.  Note that my 3rd image or base layer has a small white border around it.  You can add them or trim right on the line.  Whichever you prefer is fine.  

Step #4:  Using foam tape, attach the face to the middle image/body layer.  Then attach the body layer to the 3rd/base layer.  

Step #5: Now add white highlights using a gel pen.  There you have it, one adorable 3D image to use on your projects.

Is It Halloween Yet?

Hello!  I'm so excited to be sharing a couple of Picket Fence Studios Halloween cards with you guys.  I don't know about you, but Halloween is my absolute favorite holiday and I always get so excited when companies release their Halloween goodies!  

For my first card, I used the New Autumn Harvest Collage Stamp. I stamped it just one time in Black Hybrid Ink.  Then I die cut a black rectangular frame and and created a shaker element by adding some acetate and a handful of Black Magic Sequin Mix.  After my shaker element was created.  I stamped my image again and fussy cut the raven from the collage.  I popped him up on a die cut scalloped circle from my stash and added it to the bottom left of my card.  I also layered on some glitter washi and a stamped sentiment from the Inside Quotes: Christmas Stamp Set.  I just masked off the "Christmas" portion of the sentiment.  And there you have it, a festive fall card with a bit of a spooky feel. 

For my next card, I couldn't resist the New Jack O Lanterns Stamp Set.  In fact, the instant I saw it, I squealed with delight.  To begin, I stamped my image once on some copic-friendly card stock.  Then I colored all the pumpkins white except one.  I chose the largest pumpkin in the bottom left corner and colored him up in the traditional orange.  Then I trimmed my paper into a square and mounted that on top of some black card stock.  I trimmed that so there was a 1/8 inch frame all the way around and then mounted that on a deep purple card stock.  I love this stacked frame effect.  It really draws your eye into the image.  Finally, I stamped my sentiment from the Believe in the Magic Set and heat embossed that with white embossing powder.  Sure, this sentiment was meant for Christmas, but if you ask me, it's perfect for Halloween!  

Thank you so much for stopping by!  I hope you are having a great week!

Hi there!  Today, I'm sharing 2 more cards featuring stamps and dies from the New La-La Land Crafts July Club Kit.  You can find all the information about this subscription HERE.  Remember, you have until July 30th to subscribe it you want this exact kit.  

For my first card, I used 2 of the sweet little monkey stamps to create a fun safari scene.  First, I started with some green polka dot patterned paper and trimmed it to fit my card base.  Then I die cut a flag from kraft card stock and slipped that behind a white postage stamp die.  Inside the die, I created a pretty safari scene using the Safari Landscape die and my Copic markers.  I added a setting sun, a black bird silhouette and my sentiment matted on some orange card stock.  Then I popped my monkeys on either side using some foam tape.

For my next card, I used some gold polka dot paper for my background. Then I die cut a stitched square and mounted that on top of some kraft card stock.  I used Copic Markers to color my sky as well as my mountains and grassy plains.  Then I layered it all together inside my stitched square.  I popped a setting sun behind my mountain and die cut a couple of birds in white card stock, adhering them to my sky.  Then I pieced my Safari truck together and added that to the right side of my card.  I stamped Marci and one of the little monkeys, masking them off together.  Then I colored them up and fussy cut them out.  I added them to the left of the card with foam tape and added my sentiment to the top.

La-La Land Crafts Critter Fun

Hello!  It's still July and I'm still working on my Christmas cards.  (trying to get a head start).  So, for this week's theme at La-La Land Crafts, I decided to create a sweet little Christmas card featuring these two mice.  

For my card, I started with some patterned paper from the Blue Christmas Paper Pack.  Then I added some hills of snow and some die cut tress.  I pieced this sweet little gingerbread house together and placed that in the center of the card. Then I stamped out my little mice, colored them up, and fussy cut them out.  I used some foam tape to pop them onto the card and then stamped out my sentiment and a couple of song notes.  I just love how this turned out.  So sweet!

Purple Onion Designs Splash!

Hello there!  Just wanted to pop on and share this super sweet card featuring the NEW Sunshine Lake Collection at Purple Onion Designs. To create this card, I started with a piece of water-themed patterned paper.  Then I die cut a piece of white card stock using the Oval Burst die from Avery Elle.  I adhered that on top and mounted the whole thing on a piece of royal blue card stock.  Then I die cut a sun and clouds and popped them on top.  I colored up these two cuties using my Copic markers and fussy cut them out.  With foam tape, I adhered them to the center of the card and added my sentiment below them.  Such a fun, summery card!
