I'll drink to that!

Good morning bloggers! I'm back with another design team project for Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons!

For today's project I decided to make a circle card with the Scalloped Circle cut files. I LOVE using a circle shaped card, but I find that I don't make too many of them. :) I think this one turned out great!

These super cute drinks are from the Happy Hour cut files. 

For the glasses, I cut an extra base layer out of some PaperTrey Ink Clear cardstock, and then added the drinks on top of it.  I didn't like the way the adhesive was drying, so I figured this would work just fine.

I chose the "I'll drink to that," sentiment from the Jaded Blossom Let's Toast stamp set. It matches perfectly with my funny little drinks!

Supplies:
PaperTrey Ink Simply Chartreuse cardstock
PaperTrey Ink Clear cardstock
My Mind's Eye Collectable Notable 6x6 paper stack
Core'dinations
Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Scalloped Circles
Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Happy Hour cut files

Have a wonderful Sunday!

On your birthday...

Good morning bloggers! Today's project is a special one because it's my hubby's birthday today! When I came across this "genie" image over at Some Odd Girl, I just had to use it for his birthday card. :)

The card base is the Vintage Label Card cut file you can find over at SVG Cutting Files. Ann, the owner/designer has a ton of great card bases available on her website here. I used the offset feature to create the extra background layer.

I absolutely LOVE the print and cut feature of the Silhouette Cameo. I printed the digital stamp onto some Xpress-It Blending Card with my Epson Workforce printer. Then I used my Copic Markers to color in the image. 

For my sentiment, I used the Aladdin font I found online. Again, I used the print and cut feature to create both the sentiment on the front of the card, and on the inside.

Supplies:

PaperTrey Ink Black cardstock

Echo Park We Are Family 6x6 paper stack

SVG Cutting Files Vintage Label Card Base

Some Odd Girl Genie Gwen digital stamp

Copic Markers

Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Pen

Enamel Dots

Happy, Happy Birthday Shawn! And remember...today...your wish is my command! :)

Pretty Cute Stamps :: Sneaky Peek Day 2!

Happy Friday! Are you ready for another sneaky peek of the new Pretty Cute Stamps?!

You can find the new Pretty Cute Stamp Store HERE.

And the Pretty Cute Stamps Blog HERE.

Of course, all of the digi and SVG files can be found HERE.

Today I am showcasing two sets

Moody Crabs and Orange You Awesome!
(These two stamp sets were made previously by another manufacturer and will be at a discounted price while supplies last. After that, they will then be released as Pretty Cute Stamps!)

For my projects today, I created two simple cards that don't require any special cutting machines, only a paper trimmer.

 The card measures 4 1/4 x 4 1/4. 

I stamped my image onto some white patterned paper and colored it in with Copics. Since I didn't use any special paper, I did get a little bit of bleeding outside the stamped lines when I colored it. It's not too noticeable though.

Supplies:

PaperTrey Ink Kraft cradstock

Carta Bella Ahoy There 6x6 paper stack

Pretty Cute Stamps Moody Crabs

Copic Markers

And for my second card.

 This card measures 4 x 4. For this image, I decided to do some paper-piecing. I stamped the image onto some orange patterned paper and fussy cut it. I did the same with the face and orange stem. Then I added the orange onto my card with an action wobble!

Supplies:

PaperTrey Ink Simply Chartreuse cardstock

Carta Bella Summer Lovin' 6x6 paper stack

Echo Park Hello Summer 6x6 paper stack

Pretty Cute Stamps Orange You Awesome

Action Wobble

Enamel Dots

Have a fabulous Friday!

Today I'm showcasing the new stamp set "Hamster Cutie." Isn't this little guy just so adorable?!

The base of my card was created using the PPPR Layered Labels 3 cut files.

This stamp set has interchangeable pieces to it, so for my hamster today, I created a birthday hamster. :) I stamped the image onto XPress It Blending Card and then colored it in with my Copics.
