Holy Guacamole!

Hello everyone! It's Amber here, today I'm sharing this fun little friendship card. I used the adorable little guacamole bowl and two of the coordinating sentiments from the set below called Taco Time.

I stamped and colored the cute little smiling guacamole bowl from Taco Time and stamped one of the sentiments right next to it. I thought it would be fun to highlight some of the sentiment so I stamped the guacamole in green and the chips in yellow. After I had my image and sentiment stamped I adhered some patterned paper to my card base and die cut a scalloped border out of red cardstock. I added the red scalloped border to my stamped panel and adhered the two to my card base. 

I thought the card need a little more red so I hand cut a little banner out of some matching red cardstock, stamped "Holy Guacamole!" from the set, stapled the top of it, and attached it towards the left of my card. I hope you enjoyed my card today! Thanks for visiting!

Fiesta Time

Hello friends. Larissa here with you today with a fun card to celebrate Fiesta in my home town.
San Antonio Texas is celebrating Fiesta for ten days. My card today shows some of the food they serve at the events.

I stamped the images on a piece of white card stock and colored them using my Copic markers. I used E21, E23, E50, G02, G05, R35, R46, E44, Y15. Y17, V01, V04, C9, BG13, and BG15.

I added a little shadow under the images using W1 and W3. To finish off the card I added a few candy dots. I matted the card front onto a piece of black cardstock and then adhered it onto a white card base.

Birthday Cheers!

A perfect birthday celebration includes combining Pretty Cute Stamps sets Happy Hour Faces, and Taco Time! You will be inking up these two sets often if you have friends and family who enjoy birthdays with a bit of a 'party' atmosphere.

I used some glossy accents on my drink for a true glass appearance, and some sequins for the added party feel.  Also, I just love this card base, from Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons.

Holy Guacamole!!

Good Wednesday morning friends. Larissa here with you today with a shaker card using Taco Time.

Don't you just love it???
I decided to make a shaker card. So I punched a mason jar out and stamped the smallest jalapeno all over it. I then colored them using my Copic markers.

I then stamped the bowl of guacamole and the sentiment on a square piece of white cardstock.
Also colored it with Copic markers.
I made a frame using some red, white and green pattern paper.
I filled the shaker with red, light green and dark green sequins.

I added red and white twine around the mason jar and added a little tag hanging off the side.

 

I punched an oval out of yellow cardstock and added the sentiment.
I added 2 red rhinestones to finish it off. 

I hope you enjoyed my post today.
Have a wonderful day friends.
