Love Always

January 31, 2019

Hi there! Today I’m sharing another lovey dovey project using the heart outline stamp from Love Always.

SSS-Love Always

I stamped that one single outline heart, well let’s see, at least 45 times to make this particular card. That’s not counting all the mistakes. It took a few tries to get the spacing right, but it was all worth it in the end. And you know what else? I didn’t use a MISTI(gasp). It was quicker to just eyeball it rather than reposition the stamp or cardbase each time. I used some yummy Simon Says Stamp inks in: Doll Pink, Hot Lips, Rosie Cheeks, Melon & Lemon Chiffon.

SSS-Love Always

For the simple block sentiment I die cut solid colored cardstock in Doll Pink, Lipstick Red, Guava & Orange Peel with the Ornate Love dies.

We are on snow day number two over here, and it is perfect for skating. Pot Pies are in the oven and the fire is crackin’.

Lovable Sloth

January 30, 2019

Hi there! Today I have a project to share featuring the adorable Lovable Sloth die by Simon Says Stamp.

SSS-Loveable Sloth

Not that the sloth needed any help in the lovable department, but I feel like I might have just made him cuter with a torso, hahaha! I used the torso from the Picture Book Gorilla die and created a window frame using one of the Simple Rectangle dies.

For the sentiment I used the Love You dies as well as a coordinating embossed sentiment from Love You Like by the one and only Cathy Zielske. Only she could come up with a sentiment of such perfection as “love you like free wifi”:) The background pattern paper is by Lawn Fawn.

Today I saw jelly beans at the grocery store. I let out a silent yell of protest on the inside. I just can’t with the Easter yet. It is a full blown snow day here in Illinois at -10°. Hubby just brought the kids in from ice skating on the pond. He’s living his best life today. Wishing you a fantastic day with all the free wifi, chocolate and crafty fun:) Thanks so much for stopping by!

Mama Elephant-Cloudy Day

January 28, 2019

Hi there! Today I’m sharing this colorful project over on the Mama Elephant blog featuring a few of the fun, new January release products.

Mama Elephant-Cloudy Day

To begin I die cut the Cloudy Day Cover with white cardstock and masked off each cloudy section to blend & flick color using distress inks.

Then I stamped and colored the adorable images from Stackable Cuties with Copics & kinda tucked them into the Cloudy Day background. For the sentiment I used Wild Meadow.

SSS-Rainbow Friends

January 26, 2019

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

January 24, 2019

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.

Mama Elephant-Wild Meadow

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.

Hi there! Have you seen the latest Limited Edition Valentines 2019 Card Kit by Simon Says Stamp? It’s super fun and perfect for all your love themed projects.

SSS-Limited Edition Valentines 2019 Card Kit

I’ve created a couple of projects using the kit. First up are these cutie patootie little valentines. The sweet hedgehogs are from The Sweetest stamp set included in the kit. I popped them up onto some Pebbles pattern paper and added a sentiment from the Love Notes stamp set. Also included in the kit are the cute little mini envelopes in Schoolhouse Red & White.

SSS-Limited Edition Valentines 2019 Card Kit

This next card uses some of the fun Ephemera by Pebbles. I paired two sweet foxes and added one of the Tim Holtz Idea-ology Gumdrop Hearts to the girl fox. I love, love these gumdrop hearts and feel like I might need a lifetime supply.

SSS-Limited Edition Valentines 2019 Card Kit

I used some more of the Pebbles pattern paper and added an embossed sentiment from the Love Notes stamp set.
