SS2 — Day 8 Create Borders with graphic stamps

By on August 13, 2014 in Paper Crafting, Uncategorized

I love the bold borders that Kelly Rasmussen created in Stretch Your Stamps 2! I don’t have many graphic or geometric stamps, but I found one that is like a starburst or fireworks and I thought it would work well for this idea.

I used 2 different inks to ink up the starbursts and used a glitter paper for behind the die cut from Paper Smooches. (Sorry for the darkness…the glitter paper really does match the darker ink on the starburst)!

And then, of course, I couldn’t leave well enough alone so I added some Sparkling Clear sequins from Pretty Pink Posh. Love those sparkling clear ones!!

Thank You cards galore!

By on August 9, 2014 in Paper Crafting, Uncategorized

I’m always needing thank you cards and I thought I’d try a new embossing technique. When my husband saw it, he said “Will you make some for me?!” But all he wanted was the embossing…no hearts, no cute little animals. BORING!

So I make a bunch for myself with some of my favorite Paper Smooches little guys:

I think my favorite is the pelican.

I ended up using this one right away and mailed it in a bright yellow envelope…it looked so happy!

But I made even more! I just couldn’t stop once I got started. I just love these cards and this weekend I mailed almost all of them out.

Hello, Red

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. 🙂

Stretch Your Stamps 2 — Day 1

By on August 4, 2014 in Paper Crafting, Uncategorized

“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!

Benny-Saurus

By on June 21, 2014 in Paper Crafting, Uncategorized

Today we celebrated my nephew’s first birthday. We found a giant dinosaur stuffed animal for him and I just HAD to make a tag to match. Of course, I pulled out my Cuteasaurus stamp set from Paper Smooches (one of my favorites!)

The snail and tree stump is from Forest Whimsy and balloons are from Sunny Side Up (I drew in the strings).

I attached him with twine. And do you think it was a hit?!

Let’s just say, after Benny saw Benny-saurus he didn’t even care to open any of his other presents! I love it!!

I hope you enjoyed this project. I’m entering this tag into the Paper Smooches Anything Goes challenge (last minute)!
