Two of my favs!

I thought I would create a duo of cards from two of my favorite sets from

Pretty Cute Stamps.

My first card uses one of the earliest sets from PCS...

Orange You Awesome!

Squeal! Don't you love these fun fruit faces?

BTW, the party had comes from Hamster Cutie.

Next up...a newer set called Sunshiny Day.

The sentiments are upbeat and happy...

great for cards and tags!!

Oh...and that cloud is from Rain or Shine...

What are two of your favorite sets from Pretty Cute Stamps? 

What images would you love to see in an upcoming set??

I'd love to hear...

and come visit me at my blog, Sunnyside Up.

Have a fantastic week!

Wanted: Pen Pals!!

Today, I thought I would show case this fun Pen Pals set

from Pretty Cute Stamps.  In this digital age, finding encouraging, happy mail in the good old metal mail box on the street is a thrill!  A smile on a grey day!  A reason to do a happy dance...in the middle of that street! hehe...

Washi Tape is a quick way to make a statement on your card.

And...note I put NO BLING on this card. haha..I know, I know! What a non-Dawn card!

This smiley faced mail box is adorable!

Okay, two cards with no bling...so this card has it piled on...and on...and on!

Tucked inside the envelope is a mini note card for a secret message.

And if you enjoy this Pen Pals set, be sure to check out Pen Pals 2...

Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today.

Does anyone want to be my Pen Pal?

In July, I rescued a dog, which we renamed to her birth name, Pepper.

She is perfect!

And, I can finally admit that I am in LOVE with her!  

(Insert big, cheesy smiles here.)

Pretty Cute Stamps has several Petastic Stamp sets

to honor the canine or feline in your life!

Here, I used Fur Baby and 

Doggone It

to create two fun pet cards.

This one showcases the punny sentiments.

I can just hear you barking for joy!

This one is rather sweet...and girlie.

So, are you a dog lover? or cat lover?

We want to hear!

Oh, a cat card you want?  hehe...here you go!

I guess I'm a dog lover!!

Sunnyside Up sometime soon!

Double Dipping!

Hello fans!

Today I am double dipping into the Gingerbread jar...

as I use the Gingerbread set, 

from Pretty Cute Stamps, to inspire you!

First up...

Christmas...

Admittedly, I am terrible at sending our Christmas cards. I send all sorts of cards...

but December is so craycray, than I just don't get around to doing it.

But...this Gingerbread house is so sweet! It is definitely getting popped into the mail today!

Don't you love the candy colors?

Your holiday card will pop among the red/green and blue/white cards on someone's mantle when you use a candy colored color combo!

Next...

New Year's Resolutions...

If you are saying good bye to gummies and hello to the gym...

here is one last hurrah to get you motivated..

or at least smiling!

I'm sure you are now inspired to be all goody-goody on your new year's diet!

But, come back on Saturday.

I have one more design using Gingerbread House for next month's PCS challenge!

It is so sweet that you won't want to miss it!

Thanks for stopping by during this busy holiday season.

I hope your "to do" list is getting checked off...

no stress...

lots of love and smiles!

The Write Stuff set can also be used for a jet-setter in your life!

Just check the calendar (more often than I have recently),

Valentine's Day is just around the corner.

So, while you finish up tying those Christmas Bows, be sure to

head on over to  the Pretty Cute Stamps Store...

Thanks for joining me today!

Love note.

 A love note is always appreciated!

You can create hand made cards quickly when you start off with a pre-printed card base. 

Found in any $1 bin area, these note cards have bold patterns that you 

can use as the foundation of your card.  Here I use a large Houndstooth print on glossy cardstock.

Since, these are store bought card bases, they are quite sturdy and can easily hold embellishments, washi, stamped images, and more!

Supplies:

Sew Amazing by Pretty Cute Stamps
