You Mocha Me Giggle!

Hi Stamper Friends!!

How cute is this miniature coffee cup?!!

It is the perfect size for filling with your favorite candy goodies

or maybe a Kcup of your favorite brew.  I think it would be awesome

to put a mocha flavored truffle in there and give it 

as a fun little "just because" gift.

Attach a coffee gift card for a really special little treat!

You can find these cute little cups online.  I used the coffee bean stamps from the Pretty Cute Stamps Coffee Sentiments set and some cocoa colored ink to make the design on the cup.  Even though the cup is curved, it was easy to stamp.  I created the coffee sleeve with some corrugated cardstock.  After punching out the green scalloped circle, I punched out the smaller white circle to stamp the design onto.  I used a sentiment from the Coffee Sentiments set and the cute face is 

from the Coffee Faces set.

I thought it turned out really sweet.

You can find both of these fun sets in the Pretty Cute Stamps Store.
Thank you for stopping by and Happy Stamping!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

What a fun day!! 

 Did you remember to wear green?  Did you pinch anyone, or get pinched yourself for not wearing green??  Do you have something fun planned for a meal that's a green food??

Whatever you do today, may the luck of the Irish be with you!

Even though this card looks like a St. Patrick's Day card, I actually

made it into a birthday card.

You have to use this cute leprechaun from the Lucky set for more than just once a year!

I paired him up with the new Rainbow set for the perfect lucky combo!

I also used the grass from the new Spring Flowers set, it was just right and actually fit perfectly across the bottom of my card.

For the inside, I stamped the birthday greeting from the Leapin' Lizards set along with a lucky clover from the Lucky set.

You can find all of the sets I used to create this fun card in the Pretty Cute Stamps Store.

Happy Stamping!

Swimming By To Say "Happy Birthday"

Hi All!

I get busy working on birthday cards this time of year and I have

made this super fun card to show you today!

I had so much fun putting this card together!  I stamped those cute Dolphins from the Sea Ya Soon set, colored them with Spectrum Noir markers and fussy cut them out along with the sun from the Sunshiny Day set.

I die-cut the waves and layered them onto a blue card making sure that I left space un-glued to tuck the dolphins in.  I popped up the sun and the tops of the dolphins for added dimension.

The greeting is also from the Sea Life Sentiments set, and I used the Happy Birthday from that set for the sentiment inside.

You can find all of these stamps sets in the Pretty Cute Stamps store.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and Happy Stamping!

Be Mine

Hi!

Janna here and I have been focusing on getting some Valentine cards made, so

today I have this one to show you using the Be Mine set.

This is a Triple Layer card.  First you stack together the layers that you are going to stamp.  I put a little piece of removable tape between the layers so they won't shift when I'm stamping.  Then stamp your design making sure that you stamp the design over the edges of the layers.  Then you back those layers with your solid cardstock making sure that your stamped design matches up on the layers.  It's a really fun card to make!

I finished the inside off with one more kiss! :)

The inks are Distress Inks in the colors Barn Door, Abandoned Coral and Black Soot.  The sentiment inside was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

You can find this fun set in the Pretty Cute Stamps store.

I hope you have a lovely Valentine's Day!

Happy Stamping!

Hi Valentine!

Hi Everyone!

Are you in the Valentine making mood yet?  I think Valentine cards are

so fun to make and this one was no exception!  I used the fun Doggone It! set and accessorized using the Be Mine set.  You can find both of these cute sets in the Pretty Cute Stamps store.

I decided to go unconventional and color this cute little fella up in Valentine red using Spectrum Noir markers.  Just for fun I added on glasses :)  The greeting is stamped and heat embossed onto a die-cut slide and attached with sparkly ribbon.  Puffy hearts were just the right touch to finish it off.

Inside I used the same die-cut slide for the sentiment and stamped a few hearts.

Thank you for visiting and Happy Stamping!

Devoted to You!

Hello, I hope you are having a LOVEly day!

Here's a card that you could give to that "special" person in your life.

The stamp set I used is the adorable Otterly Amazing set.  I just love

all of the cute images!

I chose the otter pair for this card, and I have to admit that I had Valentine's Day in mind.

I stamped them with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them with Spectrum Noir markers.

After I had the otters all colored up, I took that pretty light aqua color and colored all around them since they are floating in water.  Of course, I had to add in those sweet hearts and sparkle them up with some clear Wink of Stella.

I die cut the stamped piece out and layered onto a glitter doily and then onto some design paper and then some red cardstock and finally a square confetti speckled card.  The greeting would be perfect for anytime that you want to let someone know how much you care for them, but especially Valentine's Day :)

Thanks for stopping by, be sure to visit the Pretty Cute Stamps store for this set and so many other wonderful stamp sets!

Happy Stamping!

Sweet Gingerbread House

Hi!  Janna here and today I am bringing

you this fun gingerbread house card that I made using the

Gingerbread House stamp set :)

I haven't actually ever made a real gingerbread house, but I sure had a

lot of fun creating this one!

This was so easy to stamp, because it's one image.  There are also some

really sweet sentiments in this set!  It was just so much fun to decorate this up.
I stamped the image and then colored it with markers and did some paper-piecing with white cardstock for the candy parts.

For all the details of products I used, please visit my blog,

For this and more great sets to use to make your holiday cards, be sure

to visit the Pretty Cute Stamps store!

Happy Stamping!

Let's Go To The Pumpkin Patch!

Hi Pretty Cute Stamps Fans!!

Janna here and I am wondering, have you picked out your pumpkin yet?  You couldn't go wrong if the pumpkins were all as cute as the ones in this pumpkin patch!!

To create this card, I started with a kraft card base and layered on patterned paper from Doodlebug Designs and some corrugated card punched with a grassy border.

The cute pumpkin is from the Pretty Cute Stamps set, Thanksgiving Eats and I stamped it out

five times onto white Spectrum Noir paper and five times onto different patterned papers from Doodlebug.  I cut and paper-pieced the patterned papers onto the white and then colored the stems and leaves with Spectrum Noir markers.  I also put a cute little face from the same stamp set onto one of the pumpkins.  After gluing the pumpkins where I wanted to place them, I punched out some grass tufts and tucked them into the pumpkin patch.  The greeting is from the Bewitched set.

I hope you are having a great Fall Y'all!!

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!
