This new release will surly get you ready for Christmas!! You will squeal for joy when you see the new stamps and dies!! My favorite set is Santa’s Helpers and in close second is Sandy Squirrel Autumn Greeting!

Are you ready for my big reveal?  I made one card and one postcard to inspire you!

Take a look at my card:

You're so Adorably (YNS)

How cute is that little bunny!! He is adorable for sure!!

YNS Supplies: Sprinkles Hoppy Holidays Stamp Set and Dies, Windows for Waddles Die

Other Supplies: Salty Ocean Distress Ink, Clear Wink of Stella, My Favorite Things Hybrid Ink, Copic Markers, 3M Foam Tape

To create this card, I die cut the Window out of my card panel. Then I stamped the sentiment right underneath the window.  After that,  I stamped my bunny and colored him in using Copic markers. Then I cut a mask out and cover the bunny up so I could ink the area around him.  I masked off the window area on the card base and inked up the window area. I removed the mask and attached the card panel to the card base.  I stamped the gifts, colored and fussy cut the gifts out.  This set has dies but I didn’t have them so I fussy cut them out. I attached the gift boxes using foam tape.

Nice, easy and cute!!

Take a look at my postcard:

Thank You Postcard (YNS)

The left side is the front of the postcard and the left is the back of the postcard.

YNS Supplies: Sandy Autumn Greetings

Other Supplies: Derwant Inktense Pencils, Archival Ink, Winsor & Newton Cotman Watercolor Postcard Paper

I told you this was my second favorite stamp set from this release!!  I love these squirrels.  The funny thing is I do not like squirrels at all.  The ones by my house are super crazy and they look at you like you are in there space.

To create this postcard was simple, I stamp the image and then watercolor using my Inktense pencils.  My inspiration for the coloring came from this image:

Once it dried, I stamped my sentiment.  Then I turned the card over and stamped the acorns and watercolor those too!

Super easy and fun.  I love playing with watercolors on this image.

So what do you think?  I had so much fun creating these boxes and card to inspire all of you and show you the versatility of the stamp sets! Which one of these items are favorite?  I would love to hear from you!

TAWS July Guest Designer – Take Two

Hello everyone!!  I’m here today Guest Designing for The Alley Way Stamps (TAWS)!!  This is my second and last post for the month of July!!

I had a lot of fun work and playing with their stamp sets.

I have three cards for you today.  So see back relax and enjoy!

Card 1:

You ligthened my load (TAWS)

Aren’t these ladybugs so cute!!  I had so much fun coloring them.  I used them to practicing my coloring with different colors.

I thought this sentiment was fitting for both of these ladybugs.  There are times when we need someone to help us lightened our loads and that is what they are doing here.

Card 2:

Merry Christmas (TAWS)

So for those of you who follow me, you already know my obsession with shaker cards.  This is a cute shaker card for the holiday season!!

There are a number of things you can do with this shaker card/pocket:

1. You can add a gift card before sealing it.

2. You can punch a hole at the top and add a string for an ornament.

3. You can add your message to the back of the pocket.

The possibilities are endless.

Card 3:

A Ray of Sunshine (TAWS)

I totally love this card!!  The colors are awesome!! I ink blended mustard seed and spiced marmalade together and stamped the bee with Versamark Ink.  I used Hero Arts White Embossing Powder to bring out the stamped bumble bee.

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set and added Doodlebug Sprinkles for added accents.

Super clean and simple! What do you think?  Please let me know below.
