Here’s another look at my Little Red Riding Hood card. I love this stamp set from Avery Elle. When I saw it, I just knew I had to have it. See, I played Little Red Riding Hood in the school play when I was in 4th grade! I made my very own (shiny) red cape and I think I even still have the basket I used in that play.
Anyway, I’ll probably be playing with this set alot. 🙂
“School” started today for me with Online Card Classes. The new Stretch Your Stamps 2 started out with some great projects! I was so inspired and even got some homework done today.
This is my version of the watercolor emboss resist background made into two cards:
I love how they turned out! (my husband was even impressed…he liked the shiny 3-D effect on the “hello”)
I ended up rounding the bottom corners of the Red Riding Hood card:
Aren’t they so happy?
That Kristina Werner is so creative!
I’ve got another card I’ll share later…I started it, but haven’t quite finished yet.
Looking forward to day 2!
I was inspired by Shari Carroll’s Faux Watercolor Background stamping in the Online Card Class (Stretch Your Stamps 2), and I just had to try it out. Now, this is not perfect, but I do think it turned out kinda fun!
I ended up using the second stamping, just like Shari did. I just liked the soft watercolor look. I added some rock candy glitter to the sentiment. You can see it a little better here:
I added a few sparkling clear sequins to finish it off. I think I’ll keep practicing this technique!
Have you ever just craved a good bakery item? Today I was hungry for something delicious right out of the bakery and I think that’s  what inspired this card. Well, that and the Designer Drafts challenge at Paper Smooches. Here is the draft:
This draft lends itself so perfectly to fill with some adorable Paper Smooches birds! Oh, and a little crab too.
That little (hand written) bakery window was made with the sign from Hang Ups.
I used some mowed lawn distress ink to match the papers. And distress ink markers to color those critters.
Hope you enjoy this little group who are all interested in getting at that freshly baked pie.
I love that pelican!
My dear nephews (my brother’s boys) both have birthdays in July! So I had some fun with making their cards this year.
Lincoln turned 3, and I just knew my Paper Smooches zoo stamps (and a few others) would make a perfect card for him!
His (current) favorite color is green, so I added green chevron paper behind his die-cut name. This is such a happy card!
His brother, Carter, turned 5 and so I put together a fun pirate card for him!
I just love those fish jumping over the pirate ship into the glittery water! So fun!
I am entering this into the Paper Smooches anything goes challenge.
I hope you enjoyed these cards as much as my nephews did! 🙂
