Two of my favs!

I thought I would create a duo of cards from two of my favorite sets from

Pretty Cute Stamps.

My first card uses one of the earliest sets from PCS...

Orange You Awesome!

Squeal! Don't you love these fun fruit faces?

BTW, the party had comes from Hamster Cutie.

Next up...a newer set called Sunshiny Day.

The sentiments are upbeat and happy...

great for cards and tags!!

Oh...and that cloud is from Rain or Shine...

It is time to start creating valentines.

Every punny sentiment needs matching brads!

These fruit brads make a sweet border for a CAS card with a pun!

Berry Sweet Sets!

Pretty Cute Stamps has such great stamps.

While you are loading up on the new release this week,

remember to add a few of the older sets you might have missed to your shopping cart!

(Remember, you can order them for 30% off until June 4th, 2015.)

This set is called: Orange You Awesome.

Not only does it have sweet fruits, but you can make them quirky with the silly faces and punny sayings that are included in this set!

Since I was on my way out of town, 

I kept my composition simple.

A few swatches of washi tape behind the very sweet strawberry...

and this is a great, quick, CAS card for early summer!

Be sure to check out other inspiration using Pretty Cute Stamps on

the Pretty Cute Projects Facebook page.  We would love to see what you do with our stamps!

Thanks so much for hanging out today! 

Come back soon...

So aPEELing

TGIF, everyone! I wanted to share a couple of cards I created a while ago using the PCS Orange You Awesome stamp set. This set is so fun because you can mix and match the faces with the fruit.

Here are all of the details:

The sentiment, banana, and face all came from the Orange You Awesome set.  I stamped the sentiment on a shape I had left over from another project.  The banana is pretty large (this card is 5x5"), and I stamped it on yellow patterned paper.  I stamped the face on the banana, then I stamped a second one on white paper, trimmed around the eyes and teeth, and adhered it over the yellow.  That seemed like the best way to make them white. :) I added some ribbons and some doodles, and this fun little card was all done!

This little card measures 4x4".  I decided to use the sad face on my strawberry so I could use the I'm Berry Sorry sentiment.  The strawberry, face and sentiment all came from the Orange You Awesome set.  I stamped the strawberry on red patterned paper and on green paper, trimmed around the strawberry and stem, then added the face.  She's layered on a scalloped circle punch and popped up with foam tape.  Then, I just added a little ink, and this sweet little card was finished!

In case you haven't heard: this set is left over from my days designing for PBD, so it's not made from the same peachy photopolymer as my newer stamps. Since I'm just a little OCD, I need all of my stamp sets to match. ;) So, I'm selling this set (along with 3 other sets) for a discounted price while supplies last. Once I run out of these clear photopolymer sets (which stamp beautifully, by the way), I'll get them re-made in the peachy stuff. Then, they will be available for full price. So, why not pick up this fun set now for less?

Thank you so much for stopping by today. Be sure to keep checking back for more PCS inspiration. :)

Sneak Peek Day 2 ~ Crabby Oranges ;)

Oooooo! It's Friday the 13th! Stay away from ladders, mirrors, and black cats, today, okay? Jeanne Siegel from Jeanne's Paper Crafts is back with me to share a couple of other sneak peeks with you. Here they are:

(inside of crab card)

These images and sentiments may look a little familiar to you. You might remember that I designed several stamp sets for Pink By Design a year, or so, ago. Well, there were a few stamp sets left over from those designs, so I will be offering these for sale starting on June 18th. Since these were manufactured by a different company, I'll be offering my inventory of these stamps at a discounted price, while supplies last. Then, I'll eventually get them remade in the peach-tinted photopolymer (which is what all of my other stamps will be made from). These sets still stamp beautifully, but, since I'm a little OCD, I want all of my sets to match. LOL! So, you'll be able to snatch these up for less until I run out. :)

Jeanne created these super cute cards by using two of these stamp sets.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I'll have another sneak peek for you tomorrow...I hope to see you then. :)
