SSS-Rainbow Friends

Hi there! Today I’m sharing this fun project over on the Simon Says Stamp blog featuring lots of fun Picture Book Lion, Zebra & Giraffe dies as well as the Friend Outline die. I apologize that I used an older rainbow die by Simon Says Stamp that I can’t seem to find in the shop anymore on this card, BUT there are many other rainbow dies that could work just as well for this. I linked the other options in my supply list at the end of this post.

Mama Elephant-Wild Meadow

Hi there! I’m back with Mama Elephant highlighting the Wild Meadow set.

Mama Elephant-Wild Meadow

To begin I embossed the leaf border in clear on to white cardstock and blended distress inks for the color. I used a detail embossing tool to add more intense color to smaller areas. I added stitching to the bottom of the leaf border for detail.

I flicked white acrylic ink onto the kraft card base and added the sentiment which is also from the Wild Meadow stamp set. To finish it off I added a few jewels in green and pool.

Pinkfresh Studio January Release Blog Hop

Hi there! Today I’m excited to join Pinkfresh Studio for their January Release Blog Hop! I have a couple of projects to share featuring some of the fun new January release goodies!

Pinkfresh Studio-Lost in the City & Oval Foliage

My first card features the Lost in the City stamp set & coordinating die.

Pinkfresh Studio-Lost in the City & Adore Alpha

I first die cut the panel using the Lost in the City die and then embossed the buildings in clear and blended distress inks for the color. For the sentiment I used the Adore Alpha die set to die cut the “YOU” and embossed a coordinating sentiment from Lost in the City in white onto black.

Pinkfresh Studio-Lost in the City & Adore Alpha

This next card features the gorgeous Oval Foliage stamp set & die.

Pinkfresh Studio-Oval Foliage

I die cut the Oval Foliage die onto Rustic Cream cardstock. I die cut a smaller oval to pop up into the center and stamped a sentiment from the Oval Foliage stamp set. To finish it off I adhered a few jewels and some jewel drops. This card was so simple an easy to make and could be easily customized for the various sentiments in the Oval Foliage stamp set.

Pretty Pink Posh-5th Birthday Celebration

Hi there! Today I’m excited to join Pretty Pink Posh for their 5th Birthday Celebration! I have a couple of projects featuring their new January release goodies!

Pretty Pink Posh-Wish Love Shaker die & Piñata Party

My first card showcases the gorgeous With Love Shaker Die.

Pretty Pink Posh-Wish Love Shaker die

For the background I blended distress oxide inks in Spiced Marmalade, Picked Raspberry & Wilted Violet. I flicked the same distress inks as well by smoothing a bit of the ink onto an acrylic block and picking it up with a wet brush to flick it. I also added a few flicks of white acrylic ink. I popped the With Love Shaker die cut over the blended background and adhered a few jewels from the Valentines Jewels Mix. To finish it off I clipped a silk ribbon tied in a bow.

This next project using the super festive Piñata Party stamp & die set.

Pretty Pink Posh-Piñata Party

I stamped the confetti images onto the background and then created a circle window to hide the hanging twine that holds the adorable piñata. I colored all the images with Copics. This set is so fun!
