Sister Stamps Release #25 - Po

I'm back with panda #2 and this little one is Po! He's a bashful guy whose curiosity can get get him into a lot of trouble! Lol!  

I stamped the background with a circles image using Versamark ink. Then I used PTI's Phrase Play die and coordinating stamp set with some copper metallic paper. You can't really see the shimmer of the metallic paper but it looks cool in person.

The stamps from this release will be available tomorrow and be sure to heck out the other designers below:

Sister Stamps Release #25 - Ling Ling

It's time for another Sister Stamps release! Get ready for lots of cuteness with Ling Ling and Po!

My card today features Ling Ling!  I played around with some vellum by putting some of the clouds and hills behind and in front of the vellum to give dimension.  Sometimes it can get tricky adhering vellum because of its see-through-ness, but I got around that by securing it to the yellow heart paper only in areas where I could hide the adhesive behind the clouds, panda and hills.

The stamps from this release will be available on September 1 and you can check out the other designers below:

Watercolor Pullout Card

Just stopping by to share a watercolor project that was fun to do! The piece attached to the tassel pulls out (forgot to take a photo) and you can write your personal sentiment there. Played around with some Distress inks and water to get this look.  What I love most about watercoloring is that the water does all the work and you don't have to be perfect or precise. It's just fun to play!

Josh the Graduate

Here's a graduation card I made a few weeks ago for my friend's son.  I couldn't resist using Sister Stamps' "graduate" stamp for this personalized card.  This image is so darn cute and so depicts the stack of leis one receives for this kind of occasion.

Happy 4th of July!

Happy Birthday Makes Me Happy!

This simple card just makes me happy!  I wanted to post this mostly to emphasize that a design can be simple but colors can make all the difference. I usually start by thinking about layout first, but this time I was inspired by the cute Doodlebug paper. The bright pinks, greens, teals and yellows really make this card.  I think I'll try more of this color combo, but go diagonal on the layout. The sentiment is from PTI's "wet paint" set.

Sprinkles, Sprinkles Everywhere!

I purchased Betsy Veldman's PTI sprinkles and shakers kit last month and this is what I made. I have absolutely loved making these and I had so much fun doing so.  They are deliciously cute and I can't wait to make more!

Sister Stamps Release #24 - Ekahi

It's day 3 of Sister Stamps release and today I'm highlighting Ekahi!  This image cracks me up because this little guy reminds me of my son who always wants to slurp up the shave ice syrup with his straw!  I used PTI's newest Phrase Play die and stamp set to make this fun card.

All of the shave ice stamps will be available tomorrow so have fun playing with them!  Again, happy 3rd birthday to Sister Stamps and thanks for letting me be a part of it from the beginning!
