Pocket Page Camping Scrapbook Layouts!

Karla here today! Well, September is here and we've headed back to school! It's all very exciting - my daughter, Amie is in Grade 4 and loving it! I am still not quite ready to let the summer go yet though, so I've been working on scrapping some of those fun camping photos from my stash.

I used lots of adorable images from the May and June digital stamp releases from Pretty Cute Stamps, along with Simple Stories Summer Vibes papers and journaling cards and some fun sequins - slipped them in some pocket pages and now they're ready to place in my album!

Whenever I get new digital stamp images I open them in a word processing program and make a printable sheet that I have all ready to print onto white cardstock as many times as I need. Whenever I have a few extra minutes I grab my alcohol based markers and colour them up and cut them out. Now they're ready to use directly on my photos or journaling cards, similar to a sticker! I added this cute beaver from the Beavers Digital Stamp set right on the Simple Stories card and added a fun sequin for shine!

I sponged on a bit of Distress Ink around the edges of my sentiments from the Summer Fun and Summer Memories sets before adding them to my pages, and below I layered on this adorable lantern from the Shine Bright Digital Stamp set and a few more sequins before hand writing my journaling. I hand cut some of the images from the Simple Stories collection to layer in my pocket elements as well.

For my second page I had some fun food and s'mores pics - and couldn't wait to use these adorable images from the S'mores and S'mores Sentiments Digital Stamp sets!

Of course, you have to have a campfire to roast your marshmallows, and this cute little fire from the Light My Fire set was just the right thing!

I actually printed my sentiments from Happy Camper Sentiments and S'mores Sentiments directly on the woodgrain journaling cards by printing them first on white paper and then taping them down in place over the area I had already printed on so I could line them up how I wanted them. These cute little hearts from the Beavers set added another sweet embellishment. I love how cute the S'mores look inside this coordinating Simple Stories frame!

Birthday Beavers!

Hi everyone!!

Noe here from "SCN"... I hope your week is going great... summer is here!

Today I would like to share with you a funny Birthday Card.

This card is made using Beaver and sentiments from the Birthday Beavers set and Beaver from Beaver Digital Stamp in the Pretty Cute Stamps Shop:

I colored my Beavers with my Spectrum Noirs markers and I made a shaker background with a honeycomb die and placed inside small sequins.

Over it I have placed my cute Beavers, one of them with foam tape. Then, I made a pretty bow to place on one side and give more dimension to the card. Finally I place my birthay wishes sentiment... I got it!!  

Hope you like my card!! Thanks you for stopping by and hope you have a great weekend.

May 2016 Sneak Peek Day 2

Woot Woot! It's time for Day 2 of the Pretty Cute Stamps May 2016 Digital Stamp Release Sneak Peeks! Yay!!! My wonderful design team and I have more sneak peeks for you today. Then, I'll show you all of the new digi stamps, and we'll have a May 2016 Digital Stamp Release Blog Hop tomorrow. So, let's see what's in store for us today.

Today, the PCS DT is showcasing some more fun camping themed stamp sets. Be sure to stop by these wonderful crafters' blogs to find out all of the details about their projects.

First, I have this colorful little card I created using the new Shine Bright Digital Stamp Set. One thing I love about digi stamps is that you can layer the PNG files right over patterned digital paper and print them out. That's what I did with the lantern and sentiment (I did it in Silhouette Studio because I'm just really familiar with that program, but you could do it with a word processing program or Photoshop, or whatever). That way, I didn't have to fussy cut the image at all, I just CAREFULLY colored it right there on the printed paper. So easy...and I love the way it turned out!

Karla Yungwirth from Creative Love Affair created two sweet projects using the new Beavers, Beavers in Love, and Birthday Beavers Digital Stamp Sets. Yep...3 whole sets! Aren't they so adorable? I love the sentiments on these sets.

And, finally, Amber Rasmussen from Sew-Ink created this cutie patootie of a card using the new Happy Camper and Happy Camper Sentiments Digital Stamp Sets. This just makes me smile!

Oh, and don't forget that you can still get this Wooden Sign Digital Stamp Set  FOR FREE today and Friday. Woo HOO! It would be perfect to add to any camping, forest, or gnome-y project, don't you think? You can download this little set HERE.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Be sure to come back tomorrow to see all of the new digital stamp sets and some more inspiration. See you then!
