Pretty Cute Stamps :: Gift Giving Challenge

Good morning! It's so nice to be back in my craft room, and just in time to get some Christmas projects done! 

Today's card is one I am entering into the Pretty Cute Stamps Gift Giving Challenge. 

I created the card base in Silhouette Studio by welding some circles together. I used the offset feature to make the additional layers. This adorable little chickie is from the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Cute Chicks cut file.

But of course, it's almost December, so I had to make this little chickie into a Santa chick! The hat is from the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Santa Birdie. I just resized it to fit. The gifts are from the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Birthday Critters cut file.

I used the Pretty Cute Stamps Dear Santa stamp set for my sentiment. I stamped it with Versamark Ink and embossed it with White embossing powder. I trimmed it up and used the WeR Memory Keepers 1/8" corner rounder to round the corners. To finish of my Santa hat, I used some Liquid Applique on it and then added some Pretty Pink Posh sequins to the card.

Supplies:
PaperTrey Ink Kraft cardstock
Echo Park Christmas Cheer 6x6 paper pad
Pretty Cute Stamps Dear Santa
Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Cute Chicks cut file
Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Santa Birdie cut file
Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Birthday Critters cut file

Gobble 'Til You Wobble!!

Hey there crafters...guess who?! I'm back on my blog today with a new project!

And of course, since Thanksgiving is just a week away, I figured I'd start back up with a card featuring this adorable little turkey from Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons.

I created the card base and oval layer from files in my Silhouette Library. 

The turkey is from the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Turkey Lollipop Cut File. I just took off the base so I could only use the little turkey. :)

Both sentiments are from the Pretty Cute Stamps Turkey Time and I embossed both with WOW! Gold embossing powder.

Supplies:
PaperTrey Ink Kraft cardstock
Stampin' Up Whisper White cardstock
Doodle Bug Fall Friends 6x6 paper stack
Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Turkey Lollipop cut file
Pretty Cute Stamps Turkey Time
WOW! Gold Embossing Powder

Have a fabulous day!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!
I hope you're all having a wonderful day. I'm just here to share a quick card with you!

I wanted to create a cute little scene for this Easter card, so I used a bunch of different cut files from Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons. I love that Lisa makes these sets versatile so that they can all go together!

The sentiments are both from the Pretty Cute Stamps Easter Cuties stamp set. If you haven't been able to check out Lisa's newer stamp venture, Pretty Cute Stamps, you should definitely go do that. They are great!

Wishing You Christmas Cheer!

And I'm back with ANOTHER Christmas project! For this one, I wanted to try a shaker card. I've seen them all over lately and I have yet to try it. 

It seems like it'd be something I could take on for the challenge over at Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons this month!

And...here it is!

I LOVE how it turned out! The card is a standard A2 sized card. To make the shaker window, I used the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Photo Frames 1 Cutting File. (I did change the size of the opening a little bit within Silhouette Studio to create the size I needed.) I added some clear acetate to the opening and popped it up on some foam tape.

Inside my window I used the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Birch Tree Trunks Cutting File. I was a little hesitant at first, because for as small as I needed them (and the fact I hadn't used my Cameo in over 5 months) I didn't know if they would cut very well. Well, look how great the Cameo did! For the sentiment and snow flakes, I used the Pretty Cute Stamps Christmas Cheer stamp set. :)

This adorable little snowman is from the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Sweet Snowman Cutting File. I used Silhouette Studio to hide his face so I could add a little peachy face to him!

 I added some different colored sequins from Neat & Tangled and sealed it all up! 

 Supplies:

PaperTrey Ink white card stock

Doodlebug Designs Frosty Friends 6x6 paper stack

Clear Acetate

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!
