Simon Says Stamp! card

Happy Saturday!! I hope you are all having a fabulous weekend.

Just a quick post today featuring a simple card I created with Simon Says Stamp! "Friendship Circles" stamp set.


I did not use the dies on this but the used four stamps from the stamp set to create a simple card. I think I like making simple cards-especially when done in mass quantities!! I really only made one card with this image but colored it in with a bunch of others.


Isn't he cute? I just stamped the sentiment, the bear, the heart and the "string", and colored the elements in using Copic Markers.


Here is a little closer view of him. I used foam mount to adhere him on a scrap of red polka dot paper, added some diamond Stickles and three red sequins to finish the card off. I will be making more of these. I think the bear would be cute on a baby card as well!!

Thank you for stopping by today. Have a great weekend!!

Paper Smooches Birthday Card


Today I am going to show you a really cute card I created using Paper Smooches "Party Posse" stamp set. This stamp set is so cute!!!


I chose to use the turtle from the set. I have a "thing" for them I guess!!!


I chose to make a really simple card. I first stamped the sentiment. Then I stamped the turtle and the hat, next I colored all the elements in using Copic markers. I apologize for not knowing the specific colors I used. I did a bunch of coloring that day and didn't keep track.


To finish the card off, I used my white Signo pen to put a little white on the turtle legs for a "shadow" and used some Stickles on his shell and hat. I like him almost as much as the Lawn Fawn card I created with a turtle from yesterday's post!!

I hope you like my card. Thank you for stopping by!!

Lawn Fawn Stamped Cards

I just wanted to post two cards I created using Lawn Fawn's "On the Mend" set. The cards are EXTREMELY simple. Stamping, coloring, scoring and layering, that is all.

The first one is a little turtle. I colored him in using Copic Markers. I do not have a photo of the exact colors I used and I apologize for that. I did a mass coloring of different stamped images when I created this card and didn't keep track of which colors I used.



The card kind of looks off in this photo but it really isn't. I scored the sides at 1/2" in and used foam adhesive to mount it on the patterned paper.


I added diamond Stickles to the little shapes on the shell and to finish the card off. Isn't this little turtle cute?

The second card I created I used the flowers in this set with the same sentiment. I pretty much used the same design as the turtle card-simple, simple, simple.


I figured that this card could be used as either a get well card OR a general card letting someone know that I was thinking of them.


Again, I used Stickles on the card but would not use them again for this image. I put it on too thick and messed up the faces.

I hope you enjoyed my post for today. Thank you for stopping by!!

WPlus9 "Fresh Cut Florals" Part 4

Happy Hump Day!! I promise, this is the last day I am going to post projects with WPlus9's "Fresh Cut Florals" die and stamp set this week.

Today I am sharing a simple tag that I created using the left over flowers I had from the cards I created with this set.



First I die cut the tag out of Little Yellow Bicycles "Carnations" pattern paper using the "Tag # 6" die from Paper Trey Ink. I then die cut the wreath using PTI's "Notched Flower Die" and a Nestabilities circle to make a "wreath." I adhered the "wreath" onto the card with foam adhesive.

Next I arranged the flower elements and adhered them to the front of the wreath on the left using a combination of foam adhesive and regular adhesive.


I then glued the twine bow and used diamond Stickles in the center of the flowers. To finish, I die cut a banner out of white card stock and stamped a sentiment in black. The crystals were added on at the last minute because I felt the tag needed a little something more.

I love the colors on this tag and how the whole project came out. I cannot wait to use it on a gift.

I hope that you have been inspired the last four days by all the projects I created from the "Fresh Cut Florals" set. I AM NOT affiliated with WPlus9 at all but just LOVE this set. If you have any fun projects using these stamps, please let me know. I would love to take a peek at them!!

Thank you for stopping by. Have a great day!!
