FS162: Mommylvs2stamp

This week's FS is Kristen, aka Mommylvs2stamp!

My card is based on Kristen's Happy Birthday cupcakes card. I kept the same layout and color scheme, but changed it to another stamp set {Springtime Doodles} and changed up the ribbon a touch.

I used some white snow ink and stamped the dandelion image on the lemon card stock. I stamped the images on white cardstock, punched them out and colored with copics. Instead of using the same stitched ribbon in two colors like Kristen, I used one polka dot ribbon and one stitched ribbon. Instead of stapling the ribbon, I created folded tabs and adhered them with brads. I added some bling to the mushroom. Stamped images are mounted on scalloped summer sun cardstock. Each image is mounted on a dimensional. Edges of both yellow layers are rounded and the summer sun layer has white snow direct to paper on the edge. I used some spica gel pens on the ladybug and the snail.

So what do you think of the set? I have played with a few of the stamps - Nichole and Lisa Johnson also played with some of the stamps - and there are a few that are still a secret!

I created this card with a FUN color combo: {lavendar moon friends till the end designer paper}, some spring rain and some spring moss. The spring moss was scallop edge punched, then dry pressure embossed with swiss dots folder. The flower was stamped on spring rain, edged with some copic markers, then layered on dimensionals. I stamped the bee on lemon tart and then colored it in with copic markers, adding some stickles to the wings.

The sentiment is stamped with black soot ink on spring rain, trimmed and mounted on the lavender moon designer paper. I used a papertrey button in the center of the flower! So cute - and fun!

Sneak Peek: Springtime Doodles thinking of you

Are we having fun? I know I am! I love playing with new stamps, especially Papertrey Ink ones. PINCH ME! This is a super fun and easy design. I started with the raspberry fizz base with some bitty dot basics in the dark chocolate color. Mmmmmm - chocolate covered raspberries! I scalloped the edge of the designer paper, then added some raspberry ribbon. A simple circle punched main image....


I added the dragonfly, then stamped it again on another piece of paper, colored it with copics, trimmed it nicely and added the wings to the main image. I added some dots of stickles to the wings and the body of the dragonfly.

Sentiment was stamped with the dark chocolate ink and I placed two chocolate colored brads on either side of the sentiment.



The ribbon was really simple to make. I took the raspberry stitched ribbon and wrapped it around the card, adhering it with mono. I took another piece of ribbon, made a circle, pinched the center together with a piece of mono, then wrapped a final piece of the ribbon around the center to create the bow. I adhered the bow with a simple glue dot.

Perfectly simple! Be sure to swing by Dawn, Becky, Pine, and Melissa's blogs to see what they are doing with their new sets. And of course check out my BFF's Blog -- Nichole has so much eye candy this month - we are all gonna be on PTI SUGAR overload!

Here is a quick card I made with the new Springtime Doodles stamp set, which will be released on March 15. It was a simple white square card (4.25 inch) with a piece of Spring Rain paper, punched with a scalloped edge punch. I wrapped some gingham papertrey ink paper around the image, stamped the sentiment in the bottom corner. The Butterfly is SO fun to color -- endless color possibilities! I added some bling to the wings with stickles. There is a scored line on the bottom of the card, easily created with my scor-pal!

Sneak Peek: Springtime Doodles Hello friend

Here is the first sneak peek which I created with my new set from the FreckledANDfun line at Papertrey Ink. I used kraft paper to create the card base. The designer paper is the pure poppy from the {bitty dot collection}. It is scalloped edge punched on the bottom. A layer of papertrey true black, kraft, then papertrey white was used for the main image. The ladybugs were stamped with black soot ink, colored with copics. It was easy to line up the sentiment on each side of the middle ladybug -- that is the bonus of clear stamps. The other two ladybugs were placed on the outside of the sentiments.

I used some pure poppy ribbon and a true black PTI button with the rustic twine tied in a bow.

Papertrey Ink Sneak Peek # 5

I am so very excited about my latest stamp set in the FreckledANDfun line, available at Papertrey Ink.

It will be especially fun for coloring with those copic markers!
