Warm Winter Wishes Shaped Card

Who else is ready for colder weather? I know I am ready for a break from the 90 degree weather!

Hello, Pretty Cute Stamp friends! It is Jessi, here. I am excited to be working with the new

 Warm Winter Wishes stamp set today.

When I saw this bear, I thought it would make a cute shaped card with a snowy scene.

This was a very simple card to create. The first step was to create the circle card. After I chose the patterns, I used a fun border dies to create the snow drifts. The bear is stamped on white cardstock and colored in. The fun sentiment is stamped in blue ink at the bottom of the card.

Oh, Christmas Tree Cards!

Oh! I was so excited to see the October releases by Pretty Cute Stamps! Karla here, and for my post today I couldn't help but share this adorable set, Oh, Christmas Tree (plus stamps from a few other sets shown below!) There are so many possibilities with this set! So many ways to decorate the tree, and so many wonderful sentiments!

I decided to make a couple cards for my Christmas card stash - I think we definitely have to start thinking about that now ;)

I used some 6x6 ME Christmas themed papers as my background papers and then the fun started! I get so much inspiration from watching my kids craft, and since my 2 year old decided to colour her tree pink - I thought I would colour mine pink too! I stamped the presents and coloured them with gel pens in some non-traditional Christmas colours  and popped some of them up along the bottom with foam dots.

I used Prismacolour markers to colour my tree, star and ornaments and then gel pens to colour the garland to look like popcorn. I had to add this happy face - soooo sweet! I used the frame from Any Better Than This stamped with Picked Raspberry Distress Ink on a kraft banner and the snowflakes from Christmas Cheer, which I white heat embossed.  I forgot to make sure the ink on the frame was dry before embossing the snowflakes, but I loved how it turned out! The sentiment, Oh Christmas Tree and star garland stamps to the left of the tree are also from the Oh, Christmas Tree set.

Inside, I hand cut some matching paper and layered on a piece of white cardstock and a piece of vellum stamped with one of the sentiments from the set, along with a tiny (how cute!) gingerbread man!

I had to make a second card, similar to the first, but decorated differently - there were so many ideas of what to do with this set! Take a good look at all the little bits included (below) - amazing! For this card I used Prismacolor Markers again on my tree and gel pens on the garland.

I used gold embossing powder to heat emboss the star and ornaments and silver for the little tiny hangers!! I used the frame from the Celebrate Today stamp set around the edge of my banner.

On the left side I layered a gold embossed sentiment on vellum and a silver embossed star garland, and popped up the tree banner with foam dots.

Inside I used gold embossing powder for the sentiment and silver for the stars on top of vellum and then added some white gel pen stitching lines.

These are all the amazing stamp sets I used, available right now at the Pretty Cute Stamps store!

Thank you so much for joining me today!! I had so much fun creating these cards, and I can think of a million more ideas for using them! Be sure to check out the Pretty Cute Stamps store to pick up your favourites and have a wonderful week :)

Christmas Cheer Sneak Peek

Hello Crafty Friends, It's Kendra!  It's almost time for the Pretty Cute Stamps October Release....I'm still working on all my Halloween cards and goodies and yet Christmas is right around the corner!!! I LOVE making Christmas cards and this little sneak peek using "Christmas Cheer" would be perfect for all your Christmas cards/projects!  The variety of sentiments in this set are fabulous!

 

 

I decided to go with a different color combo than the traditional red and green....and I'm really loving this berrylicious blue paired with the red!

 

 

I used my Copic Markers to color this little cutie patootie! The background was stamped using my VersaMark pad....The Wink of Stella Pen gives the image such pretty shimmer....I used white Tulip Puffy Paint and my heat gun for the "pom poms" on the hat, her sleeves and the bottom of the dress.  Love, Love, Love!

Celebrate Today & Any Better Than This - October Sneak Peeks Layout!

Karla here today, and I am super excited to bring you this sneak peek! I've been lucky enough to be able to use two of the new 3x4 sets from the Pretty Cute Stamps Store that are part of the October release.  These stamps are so perfect to use with scrapbooking and Project Life style pocket pages! And of course, I can think of a million ways to use them with cards too!

For my project, I chose to create a scrapbook layout and a pocket scrapbook page of my third daughter, Erica's birth day.  I felt bad recently when her 7 year old sister was looking at her baby album and Erica (who will be 3 in two months) kept asking, "is that one me?, is that one me?".  So, after seeing these darling stamp sets, it was just the inspiration I needed to start. I used a Recollections paper pad from Michaels, Fabulous Girl, which is actually the same as a Simple Stories line, as well as some chipboard diecuts and acetate tags I had in my stash.

Pocket Page:

I stamped this fun outline stamp on watercolour paper and then put some Dylusions Spray Inks on my craft mat with some water and added it with a paintbrush to create a watercolour effect background.  These heart stamps are awesome! I cut them out and popped some of them up to layer on my journalling card.

 I can think of so many uses for this cool stamp!

This card was in the paper pack and I layered on some acetate tags and another awesome stamp, which I watercoloured around the edge of.

For my layout I used a printed background paper and started layering on embellishments from the paper pack, chipboard letters, a doily, and some of the acetate embellishments used on the pocket page.

Another amazing journalling outline (I love the hand drawn look of these stamps!) and some fabulous stamped sentiments and hearts embellish my page!

I sprayed some Dylusions Spray Inks on some seam binding ribbon - I think this is my new favourite technique! and finished off the bottom of my photo with some more cute stamped hearts!

I had sooo much fun creating this layout and using all these fantastic new stamps from the Celebrate Today and Any Better Than This stamp sets.  You will be able to purchase these and the other new stamp sets on October 22nd - but be sure to check back each day to see another sneak peek look at more amazing sets!!

Thanks so much for joining me, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
