Stamp Highlights – Garden Frame

Good morning! Welcome back to another stamp highlights featuring the gorgeous Garden Frame.

I decided to do a very simple card and started off by blending some ink onto my card base. Instead of a solid colour, I went for an ombre pink and splashed some white paint and water onto the background.

I love that they gave us the option of die cutting the inside out and having it as a frame, or leaving the inside as is! For my card, I decided to cut out the inside for a true frame and stamped the sentiment directly onto the card base.

After adhering the frame, there was still room near the flowers, so I decided to colour and cut out a few more flowers and positioned them underneath the original flowers from the frame.

Hope you like my card and thanks for stopping by!

Designer Series – Little Agenda Frames

Hello! I’m over at the Mama Elephant blog with a card using the newly released Little Agenda Frames.

For my background, I masked off half of the card base with some thin washi tapes for my blending. I’m going to be blending it with some light blue ink and yellow ink.

Since I’m using a blue/yellow theme, I decided to colour my frames in the same colour schemes as well.

I’m going to frame some kitties in them and I used Nom Nom Kitties since they were big enough to fill up the entire frame.

I positioned the frames to leave some little space in the middle for my sentiment from the same Little Agenda Frames stamp set.

And here’s a close up of the kitties, the frames and the background stripes!

Stamp Highlight – Lots of Letters

Hello and welcome to our last Stamp Highlight of the March release!! We will be taking a look at the newest alphabet stamp Lots of Letters. I just love how tiny these letters are. It’s perfect for creating your own sentiments. And you can stamp out long quotes if you want to!

I wanted to create a background with falling letters in the same shades as my dragon. Can you tell I can’t stop colouring these things?

I stamped out “thanks” in the background, using blue, purple and pink and stitched a banner (Dotted Details creative cuts) on top to soften the area around the dragon.

Inks used: Sweet Lilac, Piggy Bank, Rainwater, Pacific Blue, Fresh Mint

I stamped out the dragon from Me and My Dragons and coloured in copics (B00, B01, B02, B05, BV00, BV11, BV13). The card is then finished off with a simple sentiment from Mini Messages.

Thanks for stopping by!

Designer Series – Tea with Friends

Good morning everyone! I’m super sad that I missed out on creating some bunny cards for you last month, but I’m back with this super adorable stamp set called Tea with Friends that’s part of Mama Elephant‘s February release.

I first stamped out all the elements I want to put on my card. I used the Mama bunny from Tea with Friends and the little bunny is from Picnic with Friends.

Have I ever told you I love the curly bracket die from Framed Tags – Union Square? If I could, I’d use it on every card! I cut out the middle with the bracket die and blended a pink/orange/yellow blend onto the card base.

After I finish blending the background, it’s time to put all the pieces together.

And here’s the finished card! Just in time for the Peter Rabbit movie too!

Here’s a close up of the card, where you can see the white and water splatters against the blended background.

Thanks for stopping by!

Today, I’m using the super adorable Agenda Boy and Agenda Girl in my card, paired up with Sunday Sentiments. I just love how these little guys have similar themes yet different poses, like this little boy and girl both holding onto balloons!

I decided to do a little bit of stripes masking and blending for the sky so it’s not a solid gradient. I added in some little stars from Pix’s Happy Holidays to go along with the cute star balloon that they’re holding onto.

Since this is a special release, we’ve got to bring in some super special people to join our Design Team, right? I can’t think of a more stellar line-up than this right here!
