Customer Feature ~ Melissa Marshall

Well, here we are in the middle of September, and most of us are in full back to school swing! So, I thought it would be perfect to share this sweet card Melissa Marshall from Moe Creations entered into the Pretty Cute Stamps Any Card Challenge:

Melissa used the cute little Color My World set to create this bright and happy card.

The Whole Box of Crayons!

Hi there, Karla here today! I hope everyone had a lovely weekend! I wanted to share this watercolour background card with you today using the Pretty Cute Stamps set Color My World.

I used Distress Stains in the new Mermaid Lagoon and Citrus Twist along with Victorian Velvet Distress Ink on a craft sheet to watercolour a background before layering my stamped images and sentiment on top. I really love this sentiment! After I stamped it I cut banner ends and popped it up in the center with foam dots.

I paper pieced the crayon box and crayon with various papers from 6x6 paper pads and then used Distress Markers to create shadows around the edges. How adorable are these faces?!!

 Inside, I added another sentiment and two more cute crayons! 

Here's a look at everything that's in the stamp set:

Happy Wednesday....Color My World

Hello all my Crafty Friends....Happy Wednesday!  It's Kendra and I'm back after a wonderful 4 day weekend - great to have a little time off and get several card projects completed.   Here is a super cute card I designed using Pretty Cute Stamps.  I used two different sets on this design - Color My World and The Write Stuff.  I love these crayons and you can choose what faces (if any) you want to add!! :)

 

The globe was an afterthought....I was looking for a little something else to add and then it dawned on me "The Globe", I decided to stamp it and leave it uncolored....I love what it adds to the card! :) 

 

Here is a little close up where you can see all the sparkle (I used my clear Wink of Stella pen) and all the dimension and layers.

PCS August Release Blog Hop

Happy HUMP DAY everyone, and welcome to the Pretty Cute Stamps August 2014 Release Blog Hop. YAY! My wonderful Design Team and I have some super fun 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 stamps (even the bundle) are on sale until 11:59 EST on Tuesday, August 26. Woo HOO! Anyway...here they are. You can click on each of the photos to see these in the PCS Store:

 August 2014 Stamp Release Bundle

 Adorkable 4x6" Stamp Set

 Bushels of Fun  4x6" Stamp Set

The Write Stuff 4x6" Stamp Set

Chick with Brains 3x4" Stamp Set

Color My World 3x4" Stamp Set

Oh, and here's some more exciting news! SVG Outlines for the images on each of these new sets are now available in the store. So, if you're not one who likes fussy-cutting around images and has access to a digital cutting machine that can use SVG files, these could be a great resource for you. I'll be working on getting SVG Outlines in the store for previous sets as soon as I can.  The stamp images are not included with these files...you need the stamp sets for those.

Okay, now...here's my project using the little Color My World set. I decided to create a sweet little gift for my daughter's 5th grade teacher.

I decided to create a simple little gift by making a cover for a box of Skittles. The cover is simply kraft cardstock that I wrapped around the box (I scored it first in the appropriate places to make folding it easier). Before I secured it with adhesive, I used the crayon stamp and some VersaMark watermark ink to create a subtle background. I colored the crayon box and crayons with my Copic markers and adhered them to the cover using foam tape. Then, I stamped the fun sentiment from the same Color My World set on a speech bubble that I had left over from another project. I added a pretty ribbon and some doodles, and my quick teacher gift was all done.

Okay, now how about some BLOG CANDY????
