Hi!  I'm back from December break. ;) I have some super exciting product to share right... Bella Blvd has knocked it out of the park with their CHA release. Wow... here is the first peek... I have a soft spot for embellishments. :) My jaw hit the floor when these showed up at my house... I can't wait to use them! Those bows are especially cute, soft (they are made of felt) and the perfect size!    What to see more? Visit the Bella Blvd blog for more pictures AND a GIVEAWAY. Just click HERE .

Mama Elephant: Designer Series Purrfect Pair

 Hi Everyone! Today I'm sharing a card using the new Purrfect Pair stamp set. I started off with the two adorable large cats included in the set. I stamped and die cut them, then used Copics to color them in. I love all of the different ways you can colors these cats! They are so much fun! After I finished the cats, I stamped, die cut and colored the sweet bow to dress up the girl cat. I just love the fish bone included in this set so I stamped it on my card base and added the die cut bowl on top. To do this I stamped the entire bowl image (which includes noodles) then I die cut it and trimmed the top off.  I stamped the sentiment on a tag from Slim Tags Trio  and wrapped the end around my card base which was cut from the large frame in the Peek a Frame die set. The stitching detail on the card base and tag are such fun addition that brings a lot of interest to the card. That is my card for today! Thanks for stopping by!

25 Days of Christmas Tags

Today I'm joining the Paper Smooches team in the 25 Days of Christmas tags over at In My Creative Opinion !  I used Gift Tags , Cool Dudes  and a sentiment from Chilly Chums . The snowman was colored with Copics and adhered to the tag. I LOVE adding sentiments to tags with smaller tags. :) It's a fun way to make them pop! These two tags are part of a 3 piece set so layering is easy. Thanks Tracey for asking me to join! Now I'm off to go check out some more tags and GIVEAWAY.... HERE .  Have a great day!

Mama Elephant: Balloons

Balloon Letters and Balloon Et Cetera are super awesome! Talk about fun, trendy and cute! Today there are all sorts of cards showing off these two sets over on the Mama Elephant blog . Here are mine... I created this card featuring the Balloons Et Cetera set. First I die cut Hello Script  and laid out the animal balloon stamps to get the perfect placement. I stamped the animals in some of my favorite inks ( Rainwater , Lemongrass  and Lollipop ). Next, I die cut the journaling card from Peek a Frame out of kraft cardstock to make a window. I adhere the hello die to the front and mounted my balloon animals to the back. Then I drew the balloon strings. To finish the card I die cut a few Confetti  pieces, stamped the "sweet thing" from Cross My Heart  and mounted them all to a large blue mat cut from Peek a Frame . Next, I created a card featuring Balloon Letters . It also uses a stamp from Balloon Et Cetera and Pandamonium . First, I decided ...

Mama Elephant: Cross My Heart

I adore the Mama Elephant release this month! Today the DT is featuring the Cross My Heart set. I thought it would be fun to make a little love note. :) I started by die cutting the journaling card from Peek a Frame . My card base was custom created to fit the die cut, leaving a nice border. Next I stamped the cat from Purrfect Pair and colored him in. Have I mentioned I LOVE coloring these cats? I have even more ideas coming. ;)  I placed my die cut cat on my card with the other stamps I wanted to used so I could get the placement just  right. Next I stamped the hearts in Blush , the "love you" in Lollipop  and finished off the sentiment in black. A piece of washi and a small twine bow finished the little card. :) Thanks for stopping by!

Mama Elephant: Happy Everything

I'm so excited about the stamps and dies Mama Elephant just released!  For this card, I started by die cutting the largest Peek a Frame die. Next I cut the Index Card die and stamped "happy" in black. There Happy Script  die that perfectly matches the stamp set  so I die cut "happy" and layered it on my card, slightly offset, to create a shadow. So cool! Next, I stamped and fussy cut the panda bears from Pandamonium . I die cut them a pair of speech bubbles from Polaroid Fun . I LOVE how the sentiments fit perfectly in the bubbles! Happy Everything has so many sentiment choices! The card was finished off with a little bit of yellow paper and washi tape. Thanks for stopping by!
