Hello, Fall!


Hello everyone! It's Amber here, today I'm sharing this fun Fall themed card featuring Pretty Cute Stamps Harvest Happiness Stamp Set. I paired the adorable girly scarecrow from the set with some colorful cardstock, patterned paper, and embellishments. You can check out all the fun images included in the set I'm using today below.


I started by folding an 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" piece of yellow cardstock in half to create a 5 1/2" by 4 1/4" card base. After my card base was folded I added a small strip of patterned paper towards the bottom half of my card base, notching one end to create a banner. For the main part of my card I die cut a piece of white cardstock with a  pierced rectangle die, stamped my girly scarecrow and sentiment, and colored my image with some Spectrum Noir Markers. I wanted to draw your eye around the card so I created a visual triangle by adding a mini brown clothespin with some tied twine around it towards the bottom left of my panel and added a small heart shaped embellishment toward the upper right side of my panel. The visual triangle starts from the heart shaped embellishment then moves down to the clothespin, over to the "Happy, Fall" sentiment, and back up to the heart shaped embellishment. Once my panel was complete I added some foam adhesive to the back and adhered it to my card base.


I hope you enjoyed my card today! Thanks for visiting!

Happy Fall


Hello everyone! It's Amber here, today I'm sharing this fun Fall themed card featuring Pretty Cute Stamps Harvest Happiness Stamp Set. I just adore these two scarecrow images that are included in this set. You can check out all the fun images included in this set below. 


I stamped the two scarecrow images and the "Happy Fall, Y'all" sentiment onto some white cardstock and colored them with some Spectrum Noir markers to match my patterned paper. Once my images were colored I matted my stamped panel with some light blue patterned paper that I die cut with a postage stamp border die, tied some twine around the two pieces, added a little hand cut banner to the upper left side, and added two little gold staples towards the upper right side. I then matted those two pieces with another sheet of  patterned paper and adhered all the pieces to my blue card front. To finish off my visual triangle I added a cute little pink and gold glittered heart to my tied twine right below my sentiment.


I hope you enjoyed my card today! Thanks for visiting!

Happy Purrrthday!


Hello everyone! It's Amber here, today I'm sharing this fun Birthday themed card featuring Pretty Cute Stamps Cattitude Stamp Set, Fur Baby Stamp Set, & Avery Elle's Double Pierced Rectangles Elle-Ments Die. You can check out the two little 4' x 6'  sets I used below. I used one of the adorable cats and the cutest little sentiment from the Cattitude stamp set to create a little scene for my card front. I started by die cutting a pierced rectangle out of some white cardstock before stamping my images. I stamped the adorable little cat in the middle of my die cut piece and then added my "Happy Purrrthday!" sentiment right below. I colored in my little cat and created a dotted background with some Spectrum Noir Markers. Once colored I set it aside to work on the rest of my card base. 


I took the largest die from Avery Elle's Double Pierced Rectangles Elle-Ments Die and die cut a large rectangle out of some colorful patterned paper from Close To My Heart. I adhered it to my white card base and started working on the teal frame that would surround my stamped panel. To create my teal frame I die cut two different sized pierced rectangles out of some teal cardstock, laying the smaller die inside the larger die to create the frame. Once die cut I removed the smaller inside piece of teal cardstock and adhered my stamped panel piece in its place. 


For the inside of my I used I die cut another pierced rectangle out of teal cardstock and stamped it with the "You PAWSitively wonderful!" sentiment from the 4' x 6' Fur Baby set. I also stamped four little paw prints around my sentiment to dress it up a little more.


I hope you enjoyed my card today! Thanks for visiting!

Life's A Beach


Hello everyone! It's Amber here, today I'm sharing this fun Life's A Beach card featuring Pretty Cute Stamps Life's A BeachBeach Bum's, Wave Borders, and Beach Babes. You can check out the four sets I used below.


I opened all the images I wanted to use in Photoshop and created this fun little beach scene. I started with the sandy hill and then added one of the wave borders behind it. Once I had my sandy area and water in place I added one of the Beach Babes, one of the Beach Bum's, and the "Life's A Beach" sentiment. 


I printed the scene I created onto some white cardstock, die cut it with a double pierced rectangle die to add a pierced edge, colored in all my images, and adhered the entire panel to a textured white card base. I hope you enjoyed my card today! Thanks for visiting!

You Are Soda-Mazing


Hello everyone! It's Amber here, today I'm sharing this fun colorful card featuring Pretty Cute Stamps Snack Time Stamp Set. I just love all the fun images and sentiments included in this adorable set. The images in this set are perfect for creating friendship cards or fun cards for your loves ones.


I used the adorable cup with the happy face and the "You Are Soda-Mazing" sentiment to create a little scene for my card front. I started by cutting a white piece of cardstock slightly smaller then my coral card base. Once I had my white cardstock cut to the size I wanted I lightly drew a pencil line across the bottom so I could easily line up all three of my cup images and started stamping. I started from the middle and worked my way out, so I stamped the first cup in the middle of my cardstock and then stamped one cup to the right and one cup to the left. I started from the middle and worked my way out that way I could evenly space all three of the cups. To finish off my little scene I stamped the "You Are Soda-Mazing" sentiment below my images and colored the cups and background with some Spectrum Noir Markers. 


I hope you enjoyed my card today! Thanks for visiting!

Happy Fourth Of July


Hello everyone! It's Amber here, today I'm sharing this fun Fourth Of July themed card featuring Pretty Cute Stamps Uncle Sam Digital Set. I can't believe its already the 2nd of July, it seems like yesterday was June 2nd and the 4th will be here before I know it. Since The Fourth Of July is right around the corner I thought it would be fun to use this adorable little digital set to create my Independence Day card. 


I used the cute little Uncle Sam image as my main focal image and the "Happy Fourth Of July" sentiment to create a border on the right side of my card front. 


I started by printing the "Happy Fourth Of July" sentiment along the right side of a 4' x 5 1/2' piece of white cardstock. After I had my sentiment printed I added some red stitching down the left side, sponged on some yellow ink towards the right side of my card where I would place my fussy cut Uncle Sam image, and added the panel to my navy blue polka dotted card base. I printed out the Uncle Sam image onto some white cardstock, colored him with some Spectrum Noir Markers, and fussy cut him. I added my fussy cut Uncle Sam right over my sponged yellow background with some pop dots and added some navy blue acrylic stars. I hope you enjoyed my card today! Thanks for visiting!

Poppin' By To Say You're The Best


Hello everyone! It's Amber here, today I'm sharing this fun popcorn themed card. I used the smiling popcorn box, one of the mini popcorn kernels, and one of the fabulous sentiments from the set below called Snack Time to create my card today.


To start my card I die cut a circle out of some white cardstock, stamped the cute little smiling popcorn box in the center of it, and colored it to match my patterned paper. On another small piece of white cardstock I stamped five little popcorn kernels, colored them, and fussy cut them. I used small little pieces of foam tape to pop up and attach the kernels to my larger stamped image. I covered my card base with some circus themed patterned paper, layered some yellow cardstock towards the top half of my card, attached my embossed border along the bottom of my yellow cardstock, adhered my stamped circle towards the right side of my card, and stamped the first half of my sentiment towards the right side of my stamped circle piece.


Once the outside of my card was complete I stamped the second half of my sentiment in the inside of my card.


I hope you enjoyed my card today! Thanks for visiting!

Hello, Spring!


Hello everyone! It's Amber here, today I'm sharing a fun little card featuring stamps from the Spring Flowers stamp set pictured below. I used the "Hello, Spring!" sentiment, the cute little tulip, and one of the mini leafs to create my card today. You can find the stamp set I'm using today in the shop HERE.


I started by cutting a piece of pattered paper and then added some orange ribbon across the top half of it with some mini staples. I adhered the piece of pattered paper towards the bottom half of my white card base and then added a little matching bow to the left side of my patterned paper and ribbon panel. Next I stamped the "Hello, Spring!" sentiment towards the right side of my paper panel and then stamped three little tulips towards the right of my stamped sentiment. On a separate piece of white cardstock I stamped six little leaves, colored them green, and fussy cut them. I colored the little tulips to match my pattered paper and then added their leaves, bending the tops to add some dimension. 


I hope you enjoyed my card today! Thanks for visiting!

Game On


Hello everyone! It's Amber here, today I have a fun little mini card and matching gift bag to share. My card & gift bag features a bunch of different stamps from the Game On stamp set below. You can find the stamp set I'm using today in the shop HERE.



I used the fun little PlayStation controller and the "Game On" sentiment from the set for the front of my mini card.


I stamped the controller in black onto some teal cardstock and added my sentiment right below it in the same black ink. I distressed the edges of my teal cardstock before matting it with some textured black cardstock. After I had my stamped panel matted I adhered it to a 3 x 3 white card base.


For the inside of my card I stamped the "I love you more than you love video games" sentiment in black and added a few of the little mini stars that are included in the Game On set.


I thought it would be fun to create a little matching git bag so I stamped one to match. I started with a plain white mini gift bag from Canvas Corp and randomly stamped the front of it with some controllers and stars. After I had the front of my gift bag all stamped I added the fun little sentiment that reads "To my control freak" to the upper left side of my bag. I attached my sentiment with a staple and then added a mini black clothespin and some twine. I hope you enjoyed my project today. Thanks for visiting!

Wildflowers


Hello everyone! It's Amber here, today I'm sharing a fun little card featuring stamps from the Spring Flowers stamp set pictured below. I created a fun little garden scene with the grass, one of the flowers, a flower stem, the flower pot, and the little butterfly. I started by stamping the flower pot onto a white piece of cardstock and continued to stamp the rest of my images masking certain ones along the way to create my scene. After all my images were stamped I colored them and masked them off to mist the background blue. I added my stamped panel behind a die cut window I die cut into some patterned paper and stamped my sentiment to the left of it. Before adding the entire panel to my white card base I misted the left side of my card base with the same mist I misted my background with. I stamped two of the little bees onto some white cardstock, colored them, fussy cut them, and adhered them to the left side of my card base. I also re-stamped the flower top and butterfly that I used in my scene, colored them, fussy cut them and popped them up with some foam tape to give my card some dimension.


The Spring Flowers stamp set is a lot of fun to play with, there are so many different ways you can mix and match the images. You can find the Pretty Cute Stamps stamp set I'm using today in the Shop HERE. Thanks for visiting!

Remember Why You Started


Hello everyone! It's Amber here, today I have a fun inspirational card to share. My card features stamps from The New You stamp set against a bright yellow background. You can find the stamp set I'm using today in the shop HERE.


I added some polka dotted patterned paper from Pink Paislee's Memorandum Collection to my card base along with some tan seam binding ribbon. I attached the tan seam binding ribbon toward the upper half  of my card base with some mini gold staples. After my card base was finished I stamped the "When you feel like quitting, remember why you started" sentiment onto a panel of white cardstock. I blended two different yellow inks in a circle right above my sentiment and misted/splattered on some tan mist. I also added some tan ink around the outside edges of my panel to give it more of a distressed look. I stamped the little scale onto some white cardstock, fussy cut it, and adhered it to the center of my card panel. 


I hope you enjoyed my card today! Don't forget to check out the 25% off sale.

Good Things


Hello everyone! It's Amber here, today I'm sharing a fun little inspirational card featuring stamps from the Work It stamp set pictured below. You can also find it in the Pretty Cute Stamps Shop HERE.


I used the adorable little bear in his work out clothes lifting weights and the "Good things come to those who SWEAT" sentiment for my card today. I started my card by layering two different types of patterned paper.  I used the colorful raindrop patterned paper as my background layer and layered a piece of blue patterned paper right over it. I stamped my image onto some white cardstock, colored it, and matted it with some pink patterned paper. Once my stamped piece was matted I adhered it right over my first two layers right in the center. To finish my card I stamped my sentiment towards the bottom right of my card base.  


The colorful raindrop patterned paper from Basic Gray goes so well with this image and sentiment. Don't you think? The raindrops could be drops of sweat instead of rain. It was so weird typing that, never thought I'd be blogging about sweat. I hope you enjoyed my card today and Thanks for visiting!

Those Who Hustle


Hello everyone! It's Amber here, today I'm sharing a fun inspirational card perfect for that friend that is always on the go. I used the cute little running dog and the "Good things come to those who hustle" sentiment from the Work It stamp set pictured below. You can also find it in the Pretty Cute Stamps Shop HERE.


I started my card by layering two different types of patterned paper. One sheet of patterned paper covered my entire card front and the other I cut down to fit the left side of my card.  I add some stitching along the outside edges of my second piece of patterned paper and stamped my sentiment towards the bottom right of  my card, stamping directly over the first piece of patterned paper that covered my card base. I stamped the running dog onto some cream cardstock, colored him with some markers, and layered the panel over some light yellow cardstock.


I wanted to add a little dimension to my card so I added two over sized wooden buttons with gray colored centers to the right side of my image. I hope you enjoyed my card today and Thanks for visiting!

Slothsome Day


Hello everyone! It's Amber here! Today I'm sharing a cute little blue, pink, and gray card that would be perfect for a friends Birthday or even Valentines Day. I used this adorable sloth clinging to the tree as my main focal image and the sweet "Have a SLOTHSOME Day" sentiment from the set below. You can also find it in the Pretty Cute Stamps Shop HERE


I wanted my background to be to be fun and colorful so once I had my image stamped I masked it off and misted the entire background with two different mists. I started off by misting my background from far away and then moved a little closer to the cardstock and splattered a few different spots with the same two mists. 


To add a little more dimension to my card I layered the cute little sloth two times. First I layered his entire body and then went back and layered just his head. You can see a close up above. Thanks for visiting!

I love Your Cattitude


Hello everyone! Today I'm sharing fun little card featuring the Cattitude stamp set. This adorable little set was released back in November and is still one of my favorites. The images and sentiments are just too cute. There is also a fun little 4 x 6 doggie themed stamp set called Doggone It in the shop for all you dog lovers as well as a coordinating sentiment stamp set called Fur Baby that can be used with both sets. You can check out the entire stamp set I used today below.


I used the cute little kitten towards the bottom of the stamp set along with the " I love your CATTITUDE!" sentiment. I also stamped the little fish bone stamp onto a little white tag and added it to the top part of my card with some twine.


After I had my little kitten colored I masked her off along with the outside edge of my die cut circle and misted the exposed cardstock with two different colored mists. You can see a close up above. A little bit of the red mist leaked under my masking but thats okay. Thanks for visiting!

Sweet Holidays


Hello Pretty Cute Stamp fans & Happy Saturday! It's Amber here, today I'm sharing a fun little holiday card featuring Gingerbread Kisses and Warm Fuzzies.


I made this card with one of the little gingerbread's from the Gingerbread Kisses set and one of the little snowflakes from the Warm Fuzzies set. I kept my card pretty simple by using two different colored cardstocks and one sheet of patterned paper. I started by stamping the gingerbread image and "I hope your holidays are extra sweet" sentiment onto some white cardstock. After I had my image and sentiment stamped I colored the gingerbread, randomly stamped some pink and maroon snowflakes onto the background, and then assembled the entire card by layering the cardstock and patterned paper.


I hope you enjoyed my card today and don't forget you can share your Pretty Cute Stamps projects on the Pretty Cute Stamps Facebook Page or in the Pretty Cute Projects Facebook Group. Thanks for visiting!
