April Sneak Peeks Day 1

Happy, happy Monday, everyone! I'm so excited to be back with our April 2015 sneak peeks from Pretty Cute Stamps. We'll also have sneak peeks for you tomorrow, then the new stamps will be released on Wednesday. Today, we are sharing projects we created using two of the new stamp sets for this month that are perfect for the men in our lives. Plus, I have a fun freebie cutting file/ clip art from our sister site, Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons, to share with you today, only. So, let's get this show on the road.

Our first sneak peeks are from a new set called Such a Tool:

Karla Yungwirth from Creative Love Affair created a fun Father's Day card using this set. She decorated the outside and inside of her card and also created a decorative envelope to go along with it. I love all of the texture she added. Stop by her blog to find out all of the details about this project.

Raven Baca from Love 4 Stamps also created a cool card using this set. I love the bright color scheme and the way she stamped the tools on vellum. Be sure to check out Raven's blog to learn all of the details about her card.

I also have a sneak peek of the new stamp set, Best Dad Evah:

I decided to keep these 4 inch mini cards really simple. Sometimes, I think that's the best way to go with masculine cards. Here are some close ups of some of the fun images and sentiments from this new set:

Okay, now I have that fun FREEBIE from Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons. This Power Drill Cutting File is free for you guys today only (April 13, 2015). This file includes .SVG and .DXF cutting files, along with .PNG and .JPG clipart images. YAY! Click the photo to pick up this cute little freebie (which, by the way, will go PERFECTLY with the Such a Tool stamp set).

Thank you so much for stopping by today. Be sure to come back tomorrow for more adorable sneak peeks! Have a great day, everyone!

Pretty Cute Stamps February 2015 Stamp Release Hop

Happy Release Day, everyone, and welcome to the Pretty Cute Stamps February 2015 Release Blog Hop. Woo HOO! My fantastic Design Team and I have some super cute projects to show you today that we created using the very newest PCS stamps.

But first, I want to show you all of the new stamps you can purchase now in the Pretty Cute Stamps Store. Oh, and, most importantly...all of the new items (even the bundle) and the featured stamp set are ON SALE until 11:59 EST on Tuesday, February 24, 2015. YAY! Anyway...here they are. You can find all of these new items in the PCS store HERE.

Oh, and in case you missed the announcement on Monday, all of these stamps and all new releases from now on will be CLEAR photopolymer (not peach-tinted). My former stamp manufacturer is unfortunately ceasing stamp manufacturing, but I'm happy to say that I found another high quality photopolymer stamp manufacturer here in the USA. I just wanted to let you know about this change so you wouldn't be surprised by the different appearance of the stamps. :)

 February 2015 Stamp Release Bundle

 Easter Cuties 4x6" Stamp Set

 Got Sushi? 4x6" Stamp Set

 Sushi Sentiments 4x6" Stamp Set

 Lucky 4x4" Stamp Set

Hoppy Easter 3x4" FEATURED Stamp Set (not included in the February Bundle)

The SVG Outlines for the images on each of these new sets are also now available in the store. So, if you're not one who likes fussy-cutting around images and has access to an electronic cutting machine that can use SVG files, these could be a great resource for you. The stamp images are not included with these files...you need the stamp sets for those. Oh, and these SVG Outlines are also ON SALE until Tuesday night, too!

Okay, here's my project that uses the Easter Cuties stamp set:

I used the sweet bunny and sentiment from the Easter Cuties stamp set, but I added some glasses (from the Milk and Cookies stamp set) and a bow tie (from the Chick with Brains stamp set). I love how cute he is in those big ol' glasses! The card base is from the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Mother's Day Cards Cutting Files.

February Sneak Peek Day 2

Hey, everyone! We're back with our second (and last) day of sneak peeks for you. The February Pretty Cute Stamps will be available to buy tomorrow! YAY!!! Today, we are sharing two more stamp sets that will be released this month plus a stamp that is being featured this month (it has already been released).  I love all of these stamps because they are spring holiday themed, and I just can't WAIT for spring to be here!!!

First, I have a little sneak peek of the Lucky stamp set that will be available tomorrow. Larissa Pittman from Muffins and Lace created this sweet little St. Patrick's Day card using the set. I love the layering she created! Be sure to stop by her blog to read all of the details about her project.

Next, Karla Yungwirth from Creative Love Affair has this sweet sneak peek of the new Easter Cuties stamp set. I love the backgrounds she created for this card and these tags. So pretty! Check out Karla's blog to read all about her project.

Finally, Dawn Mercedes from Sunnyside Up has a project using the stamp set that is being featured this month (and will be on sale along with the new releases this week)...Hoppy Easter. I love that Dawn created a tent card...so fun! Stop by Dawn's blog for all of the details.

Okay, that's all of our sneak peeks for this month! Oh, and before I forget...here's your free Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons cutting file for today. This little Lucky Ladybug would go perfectly with the Lucky stamp set. This file will be free for today only, so click HERE to go download it.

Thank you so much for stopping by today. Tomorrow, I'll show you all of the stamp sets, and we'll share some more fun projects. We hop to see you there!

February Sneak Peek Day 1

Happy Monday, everyone! Welcome to our first day of sneak peeks for the Pretty Cute Stamps February 2015 Release. YAY! We have some super cute projects to show you from two of the newest stamp sets that will be available for purchase on Wednesday. Plus, I have a free coordinating Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons cutting file for you today! YAY!

Before I get to our projects for today, I have a little announcement. The wonderful manufacturer of Pretty Cute Stamps has ceased stamp manufacturing. I was so sad to hear this because I love their high quality peach tinted stamps. But, I have found a new manufacturer (who is also here in the United States, of course), and I am really happy with the high quality photopolymer stamps they produce. So, from now on, all new Pretty Cute Stamps will be made from this clear photopolymer. I just wanted to let you know so you wouldn't be surprised by the different appearance.

Okay, now...on with our sneak peeks. Today, we are featuring two stamp sets that I designed a couple of years ago for PBD when I was designing stamps for them. I have revamped the sets a little, so you may notice a few differences if you are familiar with these sets already.

I created these fun little treat toppers using both of the stamp sets we are featuring today: Got Sushi? and Sushi Sentiments. I found these fun little gummy treats on Ebay...someone on a military base in Japan was selling them. Aren't they they cutest? You can build your own little sushi treats. So fun!

I got these cute little toppers from the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Handled Treat Bag Topper 2 Cutting Files. I combined images from the Got Sushi set and sentiments from the Sushi Sentiments set. I colored the images with my Copic markers. Here are closer looks at each treat:

These 4 have a background on the white paper that says sushi in Japanese characters:

And this one has a background on the white paper that says arigato (thank you).

Janna Williams from Stamping with the Dogs created this card using the Got Sushi set. I love that background paper...awesome!  Janna also used a speech bubble from the Let's Talk stamp set. Be sure to head over to Janna's blog to find out all of the details about her card and see more photos.

Raven Baca from Love 4 Stamps created this sweet card using a sentiment from the Sushi Sentiments set (it says Arigato in Japanese symbols). This sweet bowl of rice is from the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Silly Sushi Cutting Files set. Raven added a cute little face from the Back to School stamp set. Be sure to stop by Raven's blog to find out all of the details about her project.

Okay...here's your free Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons file for today. This Temaki Sushi Cutting File will be available for FREE today only, then it will be available for purchase in the PPPR store. You can download this file HERE.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Be sure to come back tomorrow for another day of sneak peeks, and then on Wednesday for our February Stamp Release Blog Hop!
