Paper Smoochin'

Hi Everyone! After a loooong blogging break I am back to share a few cards with some of my favorite Paper Smooches stamps. Sunny weather is finally here so I've been inspired to make some bright and fun cards. :)

On the first one I started with the adorable bee image in Giddy Bugs. I added him to a cheerful sky (patterened paper is My Mind's Eye from the 6x6 Lime Twist collection) and then thought a colorful banner (from Hang Ups) would brighten this up a bit.


On the second card I was very inspired by Kryssi's card here. After I saw here card is knew I wanted to make a tree with my Hang Ups set too! I added leaves and flowers to my tree and colored them with Copics. I hung the tree house image in Hang Ups with some twine and added grass to the bottom using the pine needle images (also in Hang Ups). I finished the card with a sentiment from Sentiment Sampler and a little bit of glitter on the flowers. :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Love your cards, Ashley!! I can't see which card you were inspired by, but I'm assuming it was the CPS sketch! Your take is fabulous and I actually created my tree with those leaves and the popcorn flower like you did initially but I mine didn't come out as cute as yours did, so I went with the fir. Btw, I hope you are submitting your cards to the monthly guest designer hunt! :)

So glad you're back! I checked in here nearly every day to see if you'd posted anything new. I love your work! These two cards are so adorable. I love that you're using Paper Smooches. I don't have any of my own yet, but I think their images are incredibly cute and I love to be inspired by other using what I love. Great job on these. Don't stay away long!

Mama Elephant: November Stampede!

Welcome to the Mama Elephant Release Design Team blog hop! You should have arrived here from Geralyn's blog .  The newest release is now live and available for purchase in their store HERE ! The release is another knock out hit! Each stamp set is amazing! Today I'm featuring Cross My Heart and I sneaked in a few of the other sets too! ;) I started my card by die cutting the stitched index card . Then I cut out the window  which is designed to open. (cool, right?) I wanted a frame for my window so I die cut the window again and trimmed the side before adhering it to my index base. Then I backed my window with some cloud patterned paper for my outside sky. Next I stamped and die cut the cats from Purrfect Pair. I have had SO much fun with these cats. After adhering to cats to the window sill, I stamped and fussy cut the heart balloon. I tied some black floss around the balloon and adhere it to the kitten's paw. Finally, I stamped my sentiment.
