Donut Birthday Card!

Hi crafty friends!! Karla here today to share a cute donut card using the Donut Worry, Be Happy stamp from Pretty Cute Stamps. My 10 year old daughter, Amie went to a friend's birthday party on the weekend at a doughnut shop called Jelly Modern Doughnuts. The kids had a blast decorating donuts! Of course, I thought it only fitting that her little friend got a 'Donut' card ;)

This sentiment, included in the set, is one of my favourites!

I stamped these happy donuts on watercolour paper and watercoloured them in - they look so 'sweet'!

Inside, I used two sentiments from the Wish Big Pretty Cute Stamps set.

I really love decorating the envelope, even if it's with a quick sentiment and image stamped with coloured ink! I added some fun sequins - perfect in keeping with the 'sprinkled' theme.

Here's a look at the amazing donuts Amie decorated at her friend's birthday party. She did a great job, and they were very yummy too!

Here are the two stamp sets I used today:

Snowmies Watercolor Card!

Hi there crafty friends! I hope you've all had a wonderful winter break. Karla here today to share a cute snowman card with you. It has finally warmed up here a bit, but we still have snow on the ground and there are a few snowman to be seen around the neighborhood. I must say that my favourite snowman are these cute watercoloured ones that I can create in my jammies! 

I stamped the snowman and snowgirl from the Snowmies stamp set on watercolour paper and used Distress and Tombow Markers to watercolour in my images. I've been loving purple lately and decided to pull some pinks and purples from the Pink Paislee background paper for a pretty winter feeling. I used the snowy background stamp included in the set to add white heat embossed snow as a resist in the background before adding some blue watercolour.

I used some snowflake and heart stamps from the Little Llama set - there are two sizes of snowflakes in this set and I used Distress Inks to add them to my wintery scene. I added a sentiment stamp from the Snowmies set right below my snowmen and used my Cricut Explore to diecut some cool snowflakes to add to the front.

Inside, I added the outside cut to the negative snowflake I put on the front, some matching paper and a couple more snowflake stamps.

I love the fun, wintery look of this card. A few pretty sequins add some shiny glimmer as a finishing touch!

Here's a peek at the cute stamp sets I used above:

Hello, Spring!!!

Hello, Pretty Cute Stamp fans! Hope you are having a fabulous week! I am excited to share my project with you today!

I am working with the adorable Spring Flowers stamp set.

 

 

When I came up with the plan for this card, I envisioned a few flowers around the bottom corner. I stamped a few of the flowers with white ink and added white embossing powder. With the heat gun, I heated the powder until it melted. I used a variety of ZIG markers to color in the images. A simple sentiment is stamped. The panel is attached to a bright cardstock and attached to the card base.

 

As I am here typing this post, I look at the card and am thinking I might go back and add a few more images. Possibly covering the entire front.

 

Thank you for stopping by today!

From Our Gnome to Yours

Hello, Pretty Cute Stamp fans! Hope you are having a fabulous week! I am excited to share my project with you today!

I am working with the super fun Gnomies stamp set!

 

 

 

 Last month I was lucky enough to win a set of ZIG markers. I am finally breaking them out and giving them a try! So, my first step to create this card was to stamp the images in a light ink color. The next step was to start coloring the images in with the different ZIG markers. Once the paint dried, I rounded the corners and added a few cloud diecuts. The girl gnome is cut out and attached to the scene. A simple sentiment is stamped onto the larger cloud.

 

Thank you for stopping by today!

Snowmies Scrapbook Layout!

Karla here today to bring you a scrapbook layout I created with my Cricut Explore and Pretty Cute Stamps! One of my favourite things about Lisa's stamps are the fabulous sentiments included with each set!

I was inspired to create this page from a Scrapbook and Cards Today Magazine layout on Pinterest.  I decided to design the layout in Design Space, and then when I was ready to make it, it was really quick!  If you want to use this layout yourself, here's the link to my file in Design Space .

My background paper is from the Simple Stories Snow Fun paper pack, the woodgrain paper is from Carta Bella and the banners are cut from BoBunny Sleigh Ride paper. I used the adorable snowman from the Snowmies Stamp set by PCS and used the sentiments included in this set on my layout as well as directly on my photos!

The Snowman from the stamp set was stamped on watercolour paper and I used Distress and Tombow Markers to colour him in. I love the way adding a stamp lets you colour coordinate your image to match your photos!

Here's a look at the Snowmies Stamp set:

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:

Watercolour Technique Gnomie Card!

Ohhhh, the stamps included in this Gnomies set by Pretty Cute Stamps are sooo cute! They make me smile every time I see them! I found a scrap of wood grain white cardstock in my stash and thought it would be perfect as the background for this watercolour card. I love the look of top folding cards and rounding the bottom edges just seems to add a fun element.

I used a 'no line' watercolouring technique here - I stamped my images with Antique Linen Distress Ink onto watercolour paper and then used Distress and Tombow Markers to watercolour in the images. Because the Antique Linen is water reactive and a light colour it simply blends into the colour marker I used and you don't see a rigid stamped line!

I stamped the 'clouds' with a speech bubble from the Let's Talk stamp set from Pretty Cute Stamps - another of my favs! Then I used a white gel pen to draw stitching lines around the edge after watercolouring and stamping with a couple adorbable Gnomie sentiments.

Taking a cue from Raven, another one of the talented Pretty Cute Stamps Design Team members who is always doing something incredibly crafty, I used Shrinky Dinks plastic to stamp on the mushroom house and coloured it in with Prismacolor Markers before shrinking it with my heat gun. How cute?!! Wouldn't this make a cute charm for a bracelet?!

Inside, I stamped the speech bubble and added the Hello sentiment using the Let's Talk set. A few sequins adds the finishing touch.

Be Mine Mini Valentines!

Hi my Pretty Cute Stamp friends! Karla here today, and I have a fantastic new stamp set to show you today from the January release at Pretty Cute Stamps!! Of course with Valentines Day approaching I wanted to create some cute Valentines Cards to send out. I used the Be Mine set with so many wonderful sentiments and images!

I started out by embossing the stamped images on watercolour paper with white embossing powder, and then I used Distress Markers to watercolour around the images, softening the edges with extra water on my paintbrush.

I layered the watercolour paper on top of a strip of pink paper and rounded two corners of my mini cards.

Here's a close up of each card front and the inside sentiment I paired with them.

Of course, I had to make my daughter some lunch box notes! She said her favourite was the glasses which I added a heart stamp inside and Glossy Accents to! On the back I stamped the coordinating sentiments that I used above.

Thank you so much for joining me today!! Be sure to pop over to the Pretty Cute Stamps store to check out your favourite stamp sets! Have a lovely, crafty week ;)
