You are My Cupcake!

Hello Crafty Friends!!

Happy Saturday!!

I have a fun card to share with you today using some awesome products from The Stamps of Life!!

I used the new stamps4cupcaketripplit stamp set!  LOVE this new set!

I started by decidindg that I wanted to create a fun Flip-It card!  I then created the main middle piece, by first die cutting the cupcake top from the Triplit Cupcakes die set!

As I thought it would be super FUN to create a shaker cupcake!
 I stamped the cupcake bottom outline in Licorice and then stamped the fun pattern to create the cool looking cupcake wrapper!!

I then stamped the on the inside piece of the shaker, the frosting outline and the polka dot pattern!! YUMMY!!
The "You are my cupcake!" sentiment is also from the stamps4cupcaketripplit stamp set!

I also added some swirls from the swirls2build stamp set to the edges of my pattern paper to add  a sweet touch!  As well as taking the cute little swirls stamp from the  stamps4cupcaketripplit stamp set to add the the two right corners!

YNS Feature Week - Summer

Hello Stamping Friends!

It's Feature Week at Your Next Stamp!!

Each month we have started a new series at YNS call Feature Week!

This month we are focusing on Summer Fun!

We were to create a project with images that made us think of summer!

When I think of summer, I think of bright sunny days and flowers blooming!

So with that in mind I grabbed the fun Little Notes stamp set as well as the matching Little Notes Die Set!

I first create the fun clipboard and stamped the sentiment from the set!
I then stamped the sun and flowers, colored with my Copics! And then adhered them to my card!

Be sure to check out the YNS Blog for all kinds of amazing projects!!!

Happy Birthday Shaker

Hello Stamping Friends!


It's my day once again to post on the Honey Bee Stamps Blog!!  

But on a sad note, it is my last day! :(  
I've really enjoyed designing with Honey Bee Stamps!  Melissa has so many amazing stamp sets to choose from!  And best of all they can be mixed and matched together so wonderfully!!

To finish up my term, I decided to create a shaker card, as I love creating them so much!

Back last August I created a tutorial for those who didn't know how to create shaker cards, you can find it here for reference.

I started by first deciding I wanted to create a Birthday card.  So I die cut a star border on both the top and bottom of my card base.
 I then added the die cut piece back into the openings, added some acetate and my fun sentiment!

 I love, love, love the Happy Everything stamp set!!!  I used the bold Happy along with the large swirly Birthday sentiment! I really like the beautiful font used for the Birthday!  I also added the "to you", from the set as well!!


I used the Country Wreath stamp set to add the fun starts around the sentiment!

Here's a look at the back side of my card after I added the foam and sequins:
 As you can see, I thought it would be fun to add a bunch of foam to create separate openings for the sequins so I could have each star a separate color!! 


My finished card:
 I had so much fun with this card!  


I think the stamped stars really work well with the sentiment!! I especially like the single star at the end of the "y" on birthday!!

At first glance a person could almost think that the stars and sentiment were all one!!  Rather than 5 separate stamps!!   
The Star Line die cut is from Frantic Stamper!!  Such a fun star border die!!

"Bee" sure to check out all the lovely products Honey Bee Stamps has to offer!
Happy Stamping!!

Sparkle with GI

Happy Friday Stamping Friends!

It's my day to post on the Great Impression Stamps Blog once again!

Today I am using two GI stamps to create a fun layout!


I absolutely LOVE the Sparkle (E880)  sentiment!  

When I got it I thought I would first create a shaker card with it, but then printed some photos and looking through them, I found these pictures of my daughter from last dance season, which I thought would work with perfectly with the sentiment!
 She literately leaves sparkles EVERYWHERE she goes when she is wearing her dance costumes!!  hehe


Close-up:

I stamped the Queen Anne Lace (E807)  twice around the sentiment in pearlescent ink, as well as inking the edges, so there is a pretty shimmer!  Perfect with the sentiment!!


I finished up the layout by adding some die cut stars and sequins!!!
