Tiny Fun Square Dies

Hello Stamping Friends!


I have two cards to share with you today using dies from Frantic Stamper!!

With the last Christmas Release from FS, they released three adorable little square dies!  I received two of them!!

First up I used the beautiful Holly Square!

Such a beautiful card!

I added glitter to the open spaces of the holly!  

A very clean and simple Holiday card!!

Next up, I used the pretty Christmas Tree Square:

With this one, I decided to create a shaker window with it!  I put white and clear seed beads inside, makes it look like it is snowing!!

These cute little squares are so much fun!!

Ornament Shaker

Hello Stamping Friends!


I have an elegant Christmas card to share with you using products from Frantic Stamper!!

The last release was all about CHRISTMAS!!!
So exciting!
I was able to get an awesome start on my Christmas cards!!!

You can see the entire release here!

I used the beautiful Lattice Finial Ornament for this card:

I'm a sucker for beautiful ornaments!  And snowflakes! And snowman! When it comes to holiday products!!!

So I was super excited to receive this ornament die!  (I will have more cards posting using other new ornament dies from FS soon as well!!)

I started by die cutting the ornament from my white cardstock layer.  I then stamped my sentiment, adding acetate to the back opening.  I then added the die cut Lattice Finial Ornament, which I die cut from a piece of silver paper!!

I then added my sequins to the shaker part and adhered it to my card base!!

I debated on adding some pretty rhinestones as well, but thought this card was stunning just the way it was, so I left it alone!

Witches Shoe with D2BA

Hello Stamping Friends!!

I'm on the Dare 2B Artzy Blog today!!

Our team up with Canvas Corp last month was so much fun!! 

I shared a fun idea of altering pattern paper with your stamps!

So for those who may have missed my post on my blog, I am going to share the idea here, but this time with a new card!!

With Halloween around the corner, I thought it would be fun to create a Halloween card!

I started by grabbing my supplies:

I once again decided to use the fun Black and White Chevron paper from CCB!

I used the fun polka dot accent stamp from the Bright Birthday stamp set to add the polka dots on the white chevrons! 

 I stamped them in Bright Pumpkin!!  

Perfect for a Halloween card!!

I then used a sponge to ink the edges of the pattern paper with Totally Black Ink!

I then stamped the larger witch boot from the Good Witch Shoes stamp set!  I am absolutely in LOVE with this image!!  Colored it in with my Copics and then fussy cut it so that I could pop it up on my card!

What a fun image!!!

I stamped the "Happy Halloween" sentiment from the Good Witch Shoes stamp set in Totally Black Ink on a piece of Bright Pumpkin Pattern Paper!!

So fun!!

I love how it turned out!!

Don't be afraid to use your stamps to alter your pattern paper!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a beautiful day!

I just love release day!
Yay!!

So MANY great new stamp sets and dies being released today!!!  And another awesome new paper pad!!

I'm so excited to share my projects with you!!
It's all about Halloween for me!!

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

Up first I have a cute, well maybe scary, Halloween card!! ;)

I used the new SpookTacular Halloween stamp set!! And coordinating SpookTacular Halloween Dies for this beauty:

I just love the Frankenstein!! I placed him just behind my die cut Stitched Square Frame layer!! (LOVE this new die set!!!) 

I used the die cut square to create a shaker window!

Just to the left of Frankie, you can see a spider!!  The spider is stamped from the Fab-BOO-lous Halloween stamp set and die cut with the matching Fab-BOO-lous Halloween Dies!!  I stamped and die cut about 8 of them and added them in my shaker mix!!

------

Next up, I used some square test tubes to add some candy corn in and used the fun new So Corny stamp set to stamp and coordinating So Corny Dies to create the monster looking corn character: 

 How fun!!

I used the awesome preciously release Cool Tags Three Die Set for the tag!!

The sentiment is also part of the So Corny stamp set!  

I also used the new Happy Haunting Die Set to die cut the white spider web that I placed on my main tag layer!  Adds such a nice accent, I think!

YNS September Preview Day

It's Preview Day today!
Tomorrow is Release Day!!!!

I just love this time of the month, every single month!
YNS always releases such fun stamps and dies!!

I absolutely LOVE working with them!!


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

Today I am featuring the adorable new Fab-BOO-lous Halloween stamp set!!

This set is full of a ton of cute Halloween images!! As well as some cute Halloween sentiments!  It's a must have set, in my opinion!!

I decided to use the adorable ghost, spider web and spider for my card!  As well as the fun sentiment, all from the set!

I used the matching Fab-BOO-lous Halloween Dies to die cut the ghost, so I could pop him up to make it look like he is flying!!

I also used the awesome new Stitched Square Frames Dies to create the fun frame on my card!  I love this die set!!

I started off thinking I was going to use the dies to create a shaker as they would work perfectly for that, but as I was putting my card together I thought it was super cute like this!

So super fun!!

I'll be sharing some more cute Halloween projects tomorrow!!

YNS Challenge #47

Hello Stamping Friends!

Time for a new challenge at Your Next Stamp!!
Click here to find the current challenge!

Here's some inspiration for you:

Here is a card sketch....

and photo/colors to find inspiration from....

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

I decided to go mainly with the sketch for my card today!
My aunt asked me to create a wedding card for her recently, so I took the time to use this sketch to make it as I thought it would be perfect for the vision I had!!

I started by die cutting the hearts from the Stripe-Tastic Heart Die Set to create my heart shaker openings!!  I then embossed the piece of cardstock with my favorite swirly embossing folder!

How elegant!!

I used the Pillow Box Die to create the black scallop layer and rectangle layer that I stamped the "Mr. & Mrs." sentiment on from the Mr and Mrs stamp set!!

I am so in love with fun shaker cards!!!!
