There is a fun sketch and colors to find inspiration from!!

-----------------

I found some inspiration in the sketch and used some of the colors to create this sweet card:

I love the Whatnot Sentiments Eleven stamp set!!  So many fun sentiments in the set!  I really like the 'You Make My Heart Super Happy' sentiment!

So I decided to use that sentiment as my main focus for my card!  

I used a mixture of YNS papers for my strips of paper!  LOVE these papers!!

I really like how this card turned out, especially since it is on the masculine side.  And not too lovey dovey!  Perfect for my son!!

Playing the Game

Hello Stamping Friends!!

I'm on the Dare 2B Artzy Blog today!!

It's that time of year in our house hold!  Baseball!!

When I got the fun Hats Off stamp set from D2BA I thought it would be super fun to use it to create Project Life Pages for my kids albums!  So I printed off some photos from last year's baseball season and did just that!!

Here they are:

 I created a title card and shaker pocket using the stamp set for each of their pages!!

I really LOVE the 'NEVER let the fear of STRIKING out keep you from playing the GAME. Babe Ruth' sentiment from the set!  I thought it would make the perfect title cards for each of their pages!

For both title cards I also used a piece of Hats Off and Bright Pumpkin pattern paper!!  For the above title card I fussy cut one of the hats from the Hats Off pattern paper to add above the sentiment!  I really liked how it looked!!

A look at one of the shaker pockets:

Again I used the same paper mentioned above to tie them together!  I added some sequins to the pocket as well as stamped and die cut baseballs!!

So fun!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a beautiful day!

On Your Special Day

Hello Stamping Friends!


I have a beautiful Wedding card to share with you using dies from Frantic Stamper!!

I love how this elegant card turned out:

I used a piece of glittery silver cardstock for my first layer on top of my base!  I the cut a slightly smaller layer from white cardstock and embossed with one of my favorite swirly embossing folders!!  I then wrapped some ribbon around the two layers and added it to my card base.  

The large center shape is die cut from the Nested Stitched Bracket Labels (10181) die set! I then added the On Your Special Day (10199) sentiment die cut to the top of the label!  I decided it would be fun to use the same glittery paper have the word 'special stand out'!  I thought it was a nice break-up, instead of having all the words the same color.

I added some flowers and pearls from the my stash to finish off the card!  It adds the nice touch!

So elegant!!!

Have a lovely day!

Smiles For You

Hello Stamping Friends!

Your Next Stamp isn't having a release this month, instead the designers are featuring their favorite YNS Products!!

How awesome is that!?!?

But the hard part for me was....I LOVE everything YNS!!
So it was a little hard to decide what to use!

Once I started thinking, I decided to create one of my famous shaker cards!!

I absolutely LOVE the Circle Panel Die!  When Karen released this first panel die, I was in love!  I'm addicted to them!  They are so much fun to use 

I used the Smiley Happy Critter Crew Set One stamp set!  Because this was one of the first stamp sets that made me fall in LOVE with YNS!!  

This sweet ladybug sure puts a smile on my face!!  

All of YNS's stamp sets put a smile on my face, they are so much fun!!

Please reference our linky at the bottom of this post for the entire hop list.

Weird Holiday with MCT

Hello Sweet Stamping Friends!

I'm joining in the post today on the My Creative Time Blog!

Today's theme is...
Weird Holiday

I enjoy checking out all the 'Weird' holidays!

I decided to base my project off of June 3rd's 'Repeat Day"!! 

Little info on the day:

Possibly created by someone who loved doing the same thing over and over again, Repeat Day is an unofficial holiday that encourages people to re-do or re-state things multiple times. It is unclear why someone invented a holiday that would make celebrators sound like a broken record.

While Repeat Day is definitely one of the more bizarre holidays out there, it needs very little preparation or effort to celebrate - all you need to do is repeat yourself !!

I love flowers and was so excited when the Cute Flower Tag Die was released recently!! 

I created this tag:

With the weird holiday in mind, I decided to 'repeat' myself and create another tag as I really liked how it turned out so much!!

Here is my new tag:

So fun!!  I decided to go with a brighter plaid this time!!

I left the flower look like a daisy as that is what I really liked about my first one!  I just added some rhinestones to the center!

June 8th is Best Friends Day!
So I added the 'To my best friend'' sentiment to the inside of my tag, which is part of the Mini Spring Greetings stamp set!

This tag turned out, just as cute as the first one I made!!

A Sweet Friendship

Hello Stamping Friends!!

I have a card to share with you that I am featuring on the Dare 2B Artzy Blog today using the Refresh the Soul stamp set!!

I started by creating my card base using a piece of blue paper.  I then grabbed a piece of Pretty Petals paper for the plaid side to create a layer slightly smaller than my base.

I then did something a little different then I normally would!  I cut another layer slightly smaller from white cardstock and stamped the single flower from the Refresh the Soul stamp set with Totally Black Ink!  I inked the edges with a light blue ink!  I was a little skeptical on doing this at first, but thought I would give it a try!  Normally, I would have stamped the flowers in colored ink, either one color or multiple colors!

I really like how the stamped black flowers look.  I think if I would have done them colored, they would have blended into my card too much.  And my goal was for them to stand out, but not take away from the sentiment and pitcher!

The Pretty Petals paper contains a strip of dark blue with light blue polka dots, which I used for the top and bottom of my white cardstock layer I created to stamp my sentiment on, which is from the Refresh the Soul stamp set.  Isn't this sentiment true?!  A friendship is truly great for the soul!!

I fussy cut a pitcher from the Pitcher This designer paper to add next to my sentiment!!

Have a beautiful day! 

Birthday Circles

Hello Sweet Stamping Friends!

I'm joining in the post today on the My Creative Time Blog!

Today's theme is...
Manly Monday 

I decided to create a fun masculine birthday card!!

I absolutely LOVE the new Circle Border Die, so I grabbed it to create this fun card:

The border creates such a fun edge for cards!!

I also used the Happy Thoughts Stamp/Die Set for my sentiment!! And Ribbon End Dies for the cute little banners!
