Hey Foxy Card

I had some creative time this weekend and played with the Forest Friends stamp set from Pretty Cute Stamps...I adore this sweet set of animals so much! I had this patterned paper scrap of feathers for the longest time in my scrap pile and new it was what I wanted to use for this little guy once I decided on him! 

I colored him using my copics and adhered him to a die-cut scalloped circle that I had in my stash using 3 dimensional foam squares for a bit of dimension. I also added some cork embellishment stickers and actually stamped my sentiment right on the heart cork sticker. 

Here are all the images and sentiments that can be found in this set...

To get yours check out the Pretty Cute Stamps store HERE.

Thanks for stopping by!! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

"You're such a FOX!"

Hi friends! Joann here today sharing a card with you on this lovely Saturday!

I used Pretty Cute Stamps Forest Friends stamp set and the Forest Friends SVG Outlines to create this card.  

One thing that I would like to point out are the 2 big hearts that I cut from some pattern paper. I took one of the heart images from the Forest Friends SVG Outline and changed the size. I love how easy the SVG files from Pretty Cute Stamps are so easy to use.

Well that's all I have for you today, thank you so much for stopping by!

Pretty Cute Stamps Anything Goes Challenge

Happy Saturday, everyone! Welcome to the very first Pretty Cute Stamps Monthly Challenge. YAY! The theme this first month is Anything Goes. So, we want to see any project you create using Pretty Cute Stamps. My wonderful Design Team and I have created some fun inspiration projects for you. First, I'll show you those, and then I'll tell you more about the challenge.

For my project I created a SWEET little card that is perfect for summer:

I got the sweet ice cream cones and the sentiment from the Just Chill stamp set. I paper pieced the treats with some pretty patterned paper I had in my stash. The faces and hears are from the Let's Spoon stamp set. Those faces fit perfectly on the ice cream cones. I added some jute twine and a button, and my little card was all done. :)

 

Okay, now for the awesome projects my amazing Design Team members created. Be sure to click on their names to find out all of the details about their projects and leave them a little bloggy love.

4 square cards

Here is a great way to kick start your stamping mojo...

Use a classic layout.

Here, I created 2 cards using the "four square" layout. 

But each card is a little different.

Sometimes the sentiment is highlighted,

as it is here in this card which uses Pretty Cute Stamps: Bushels of Fun set.

I just love gingham! 

and eyelets...and kraft...and sequins...

Or, you can repeat an image...

a nice graphic look...

This card features the Forest Friends set.

Of course, colors, patterns, and shapes of each panel also change the look of the card!

Thanks so much for hopping in and joining us today!

Feel free to check out my blog,

Sunnyside Up,

for more ideas...and lots of smiles!

Forest Friends Foxy Card!

Happy Monday!! Karla here today, and I'm so glad to share this adorable Forest Friends stamp set from Pretty cute stamps with you today!

I coloured in this super sweet fox stamp with Prismacolor coloured pencils and then cut him out with a Spellbinders Nestabilities die. I used a little blue Distress Ink to sponge around the edge and then layered it over a larger Nestabilities diecut. The patterned paper is from the BoBunny Forever Young 6x6 paper pack - I just love the bright spring colours!

I used the little heart shapes included in the set to stamp on top of my woodgrain background paper, and I punched the bottom edge of my border before popping up my main image with foam dots.

I just love this cute sentiment - I stamped on more of the BoBunny paper and sponged the edge again with Distress Ink after cutting it into a banner shape.

Forest Friends

Thanks so much for joining us today, and be sure to head over to the Pretty Cute Stamp store to see all the amazing stamp sets! You still have one more day to take advantage of the April New Releases which are on sale until April 21st! Hope you have an awesome week!

Deer One

I have a sweet card for you today that would work perfectly for many different occasions depending on the sentiment that you put inside the card.

The star of this card is the cute deer from the Forest Friends set.

I started with a white cardstock base and then put down fun layer of pink cardstock and a corrugated cardstock.

The stamped layer and green layer were cut out using stitched dies.  I colored the deer with Spectrum Noir markers and also created the grass with short brush strokes.

Since Pretty Cute Stamps are clear, it was very easy to position the sentiment just where I wanted it.

I added a few sequins and pretty flower and twine bow to finish up this cheerful card.

Thank you for stopping by today!

Happy Stamping!

Janna :)

March 2015 Stamp Release Blog Hop

Happy Release Day, everyone, and welcome to the Pretty Cute Stamps March 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 Thursday, April 2, 2015. YAY! Anyway...here they are. You can find all of these new items in the PCS store HERE.

 March 2015 Stamp Release Bundle

 Forest Friends 4x6" Stamp Set

 Gnomies 4x6" Stamp Set

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 are my projects that use the Forest Friends stamp set:

I used the sweet little deer and a fun sentiment from the Forest Friends set for this shadow box card (psssttttt...the card base is available for FREE below...today only). I colored the deer and mushrooms (from the Gnomies set) with my Copic Markers.

I also decided to add a cute little sentiment to this Lip Balm Fox (which was a sneak peek freebie yesterday). That tail turned out to be the perfect place for a sentiment from the Forest Friends set.
