You Are Soda-Mazing


Hello everyone! It's Amber here, today I'm sharing this fun colorful card featuring Pretty Cute Stamps Snack Time Stamp Set. I just love all the fun images and sentiments included in this adorable set. The images in this set are perfect for creating friendship cards or fun cards for your loves ones.


I used the adorable cup with the happy face and the "You Are Soda-Mazing" sentiment to create a little scene for my card front. I started by cutting a white piece of cardstock slightly smaller then my coral card base. Once I had my white cardstock cut to the size I wanted I lightly drew a pencil line across the bottom so I could easily line up all three of my cup images and started stamping. I started from the middle and worked my way out, so I stamped the first cup in the middle of my cardstock and then stamped one cup to the right and one cup to the left. I started from the middle and worked my way out that way I could evenly space all three of the cups. To finish off my little scene I stamped the "You Are Soda-Mazing" sentiment below my images and colored the cups and background with some Spectrum Noir Markers. 


I hope you enjoyed my card today! Thanks for visiting!

Sea Critter Birthday Card


Hi everyone, Tasha here to share with you this sea critter birthday card created with the Sea Ya Soon, Sea Life Sentiments, and Sublime stamp sets. I’m totally in love with these cute sea critter images; it was hard to decide on which one to use for this card.





I selected the fun jellyfish and colored it in with PhotoShop. This critter looks awesome with the light purple gradient colors. The images were printed on bright white 80lb cardstock and framed with a rounded stitched die. I also used Wink of Stella to make it shimmer and glossy accents on the starfish and bubbles.



For the sentiment, I used the scripted “Happy Birthday” and embellished it with the super cute little starfish. I also used an aqua font color to stick with the summer/sea theme and added bubbles from the Sublime digital stamp set. 



Lastly, I chose a multi-colored pattern paper for the base. I love the way the gold foil shines in the light!


I hope you enjoyed my summer sea critter birthday card!

Also, remember there's still time to participate in the "By the Sea" challenge!



Have a wonderful day,

-Tasha

DT Inspiration Day with Carolyn...

Can you believe it's almost August? 
We've spent the summer by, in and on the water.  I thought this next inspiration 
DT post would be perfect to end the July roundup 

Here is my DT creation...

I've used several digis from different collections. They are as follows: MermanSeahorse, and Sublime. I love that all of these digis coordinate with so many other sets!
Have you visited the Blog?
Have you participated in our Challenges?

Stop by the blog every day for new inspiration and monthly for new digi kits!
Happy Crafting....

Sunshine and Raindrops Card!

Karla here today to share a rainy day card - since we've had soooo much rain over the past week that I feel like we are swimming! I'm crossing my fingers the sun will come out this week ;)


I stamped and paper pieced the cute rubber boots, puddle and sunshine from the Pretty Cute Stamps Rain or Shine  stamp set, layering them on top of my diecut raindrop background. I stamped the sentiment, from the same stamp set, directly onto my background.


I stamped the Rainbow stamp on white cardstock and coloured it in with coloured pencils before layering this adorable little Froggy Umbrella diecut from Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons and a cute little diecut rain cloud. I used some Cosmo Cricket paper that I had in my stash for all the paper piecing and diecuts so everything would be coordinated - and I could feel like I was using up some older papers!

Inside, I stamped a sentiment from the Rainbow stamp set, using a Hero Arts Ombre Ink pad, and paper pieced an umbrella from the Rain or Shine stamp set.

Here's a look at the super cute stamp sets I used:

I had so much fun creating this bright card!
