Hello, friend

Hey everyone. Lena here :-)

Today I'm showing a card I made using the cutest ostrich ever. As soon as I saw it I knew it had to be pink... Bright pink! Don't ask me why... 

I loved coloring this one and will definately use it more, and I might even use a different color ;-)

SOOOO cute! ♥

This super cute ostrich is from this PCS set, and you can find it here!

Have an amazing day! ♥ Lena

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 Beach, Beach 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!

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!

Make Gnome Mistake

Hello Friends. Larissa here today with a fun Gnome card I created using the stamp set

"Gnomies"

 I stamped the images onto a piece of white cardstock I trimmed a to 4 x 5 1/4. I then colored the images with Copic markers. The sentiment is from the same set.

This would be a perfect any day of the week card for a special someone or special family member/friend. Just a way for you remind them how great they are. The sentiments are super cute.

  

This set is still for sale but you might want to get it now before it sells out. Once it is gone it is gone. As are all the other clear stamps. So if you have your eye on Gnomies or any other Clear Stamp Sets I would say get them sooner than later.

Hope you enjoyed my post today. I will be back soon with another card for you. Have a wonderful day friends.

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!

Fireworks Rock

Hello, friends. Larissa here with you today with a 4th of July card. Today I am using two different sets. 

Fireworks 

and
Adorkable.

I stamped the little boy on a piece of 110 lb white cardstock and colored him with my Copic markers. I then used Red and Blue ink and stamped the fireworks all over the card front.
I added stickles to the fireworks to finish them off.
As you can see I also made the glasses on the little boy into sunglasses.
I used glossy accents over the top of them to make them shine.

 Super simple card. 

Perfect for July 4th.

Don't forget we have a challenge going on. Come join us and you could win a GC. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today. Have a wonderful Wednesday.

August Release Sneak Peek!



Hello and Happy Saturday crafty friends!  It's Kendra and it is finally time for me to reveal a little Sneak Peek of one of the new August Stamp Releases for Pretty Cute Stamps!  The August releases are really fabulous and have so much versatility - you're gonna love 'em! :)

Without further adieu.....here's a design I created using "Adorkable"!

Can I say how much I love this little girl with the glasses?!  Cutie Patootie!!  I wear glasses (only at night lol) and my hubby says this image reminds him of me when I have mine on....what? lol   This color combo is one of my very favorites and I think works really well here! 

I decided to break up the sentiment....which I think looks really great! I used my Sakura Stardust pen to outline the books, her dress and the apple just for a little extra sparkle.  I had a mini apple punch laying around I got from ebay way back in the day and I decided to use it....which adds a little pop of dimension.   All the supplies used in my design are listed below. :)

Join us for the August Release Blog Hop starting here on the Pretty Cute Stamps Blog this Wednesday, August 20th for some wonderful crafty goodness!  Also, the newest releases will be on sale for the first week!  

Be sure to visit me over at Inkin' It Up with Kendra! Have a crafty day and I'll see you soon!
