Pretty Pink Posh Birthday Celebration Blog Hop

Hi friends! We're helping Pretty Pink Posh  celebrate their 7th Birthday and new release with a Birthday Celebration Blog Hop and an amazing giveaway!

My first card features the new Let's Party Stamp Set and Let's Party Coordinating Dies, Cupcake Critters Stamp Set and Coordinating Dies, Layered Bokeh Stencils, and the Celebrate Script Die (free gift with a $100 purchase). To begin, I colored the images with Copic markers and die cut with the coordinating dies. The background was created by blending Peacock Feathers and Tumbled Glass ink onto white cardstock using the Layered Bokeh Stencils.  

Next, I cut a circle using the Let's Party Dies and layered the background over the colored image before attaching to a card base. I added a white frame using the Scallop Frames Dies, then attached the die cut Celebrate script to my card. Lastly, I added a sentiment from the Let's Party set by white heat embossing on black cardstock Simple Strip to complete my card.

My second card uses the same stamp sets as above, along with the fantastic, new Slimline: Peekaboo Windows Dies and Slimline: Scallop Frames Dies. The background was created by blending inks, just as my first card, onto a white rectangle die cut using largest rectangle from the Slimline: Peekaboo Windows Dies the Layered Bokeh Stencils. Next, I cut three circles using the Let's Party Coordinating Dies and placed my background over the colored images from Let's Party before attaching to a card base. I then cut the Slimline Scallop Frame three times from white cardstock and layered it on top. I added the colored image from Cupcake Critters and a sentiment from the Let's Party set by white heat embossing on black cardstock Simple Strip to complete my card.

Penguin Pals with Sunny Studio

 Hi friends! Today, I'm over on the Sunny Studio blog sharing a couple of cards I made with one of my favorite sets, Penguin Pals. While this set can certainly be used to make holiday cards, I love that it can be used to create winter themed cards, as well!

I chose a cool color palette in pinks, and purples, with a pop of aqua, to create these fun cards...perfect for Winter birthdays!

For my first card, I created a slimline birthday card. To begin, I cut a piece of Bristol smooth cardstock, using the rectangle die from the Slimline Scalloped Frame Dies. I ink blended the background with Milled Lavender, Seedless Preserves, and Black Soot Distress Oxide inks. Next, I splattered some white acrylic paint onto the background and white heat embossed some snowflakes to create a fun snowy sky. 

I stamped, colored with Copic markers, and die cut images from the following sets:

Penguin Pals/ Coordinating Dies

Winter Scenes Stamps/ Coordinating Dies

Copic Colors:

Aqua: BG49, BG13, BG11, BG10

Pink: R39, RV66, RV55, RV63, RV52

Green: G40, G21, G24, G28

Purple: V09, V17, V15, V12

Orange: Y35, YR04

Next, I die cut some snowy hills using the Slimline Nature Borders Dies from white cardstock, inked the tops with Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide, and attached to my inked background. I then tucked the trees behind the hill, and trimmed to fit the width of my card before attaching it to a white Scalloped Frame Die. Lastly, I attached the colored images to my card, using foam tape for dimension, then stamped the sentiment from Penguin Pals in black ink along the bottom to complete it.

To make this fun shaker card, I started by cutting a rectangle from white cardstock, then used the Stitched Arch Dies to cut out a window. Next, I attached a piece of acetate to the back of the white rectangle, covering the arch window. I applied foam tape around the opening and added some Majestic Mini Sequins and other jewels from my stash before attaching it to a piece of Bristol smooth cardstock, ink blended with Blueprint Sketch, Seedless Preserves, and Milled Lavender. Next, I attached my shaker to a piece of 4 1/4 X 5 1/2" purple patterned paper from the Gingham Jewel Tones 6 X 6 Paper.

I stamped, colored with Copic markers, and die cut images from the following sets:

Penguin Pals/ Coordinating Dies

Winter Scenes Stamps/ Coordinating Dies

Gleeful Reindeer/ Coordinating Dies

Lastly, I attached the colored images to my card, using foam tape on some for dimension. Next, I white heat embossed the sentiment from Penguin Pals onto a black sentiment strip and attached it to my card to complete it!

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you were inspired to create some winter themed cards of your own! Have a great day!

Deck the Halls with Inky Paws Blog Hop

 

Hi friends! I'm so excited to be joining Newton's Nook as a guest designer for their Deck the Halls Blog Hop! I had so much fun creating these snow globe tags, using products from the newest release. Keep reading for all the details and a chance to win one of two prizes!

To begin, I stamped the images from Snowman Greetings, colored with Copic markers, added highlights with a white gel pen, and die cut with the Snowman Greetings Die Set.

Next, using the Snowfall Roundabout, I stamped it onto Bristol smooth cardstock with clear embossing ink, then heat embossed with white embossing powder. I then cut out the embossed images using a circle die, and ink blended them with Peacock Feathers and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide inks. I cut a snowy border and attached it to the bottom of the die cut circle.

I created the snow globe base by simply cutting a piece of wood grain paper 1/2" thick and trimming the edges at an angle. Next, I white heat embossed the sentiment from Snowfall Roundabout onto a red cardstock banner and attached to the snow globe base.

Lastly, I attached the snowman images with foam tape for dimension, punched a hole on the top, and tied on some red and white bakers twine to complete my tags. Such fun and easy tags to really add a special touch to a gift!

Christmas Cookies with Sunny Studio

 Hi friends! I'm back with Sunny Studio sharing this holiday gift idea, featuring the set, Christmas Cookies. This is an exclusive "free set with purchase, so act quickly because it's a cute one!!

I love making handmade gifts for neighbors, teachers and friends for the holidays. This year, I decided to make a fun gift; perfect for bakers or non-bakers, lol! Included is a gingerbread cookie mix and wooden spoon, tucked inside a kitchen mitt. I added some fun striped ribbon and tied on a handmade shaker tag for an adorable and wallet-friendly gift (around $5 each).

To create the shaker tags, I used the Scalloped Tag Circle Dies to cut my tag base from the Holiday Cheer 6X6 Paper. Next, I cut 5 white scalloped circles with the Fancy Frames Circle Dies, and glued 4 together and attached it to my tag. I then cut a circle from acetate and attached it to the backside of the extra white frame I cut. I added some Peppermint Confetti and Neapolitan Sprinkles (yes, I picked out the brown and white sprinkles, lol) before sealing my shaker with double sided tape.

Next, I stamped and colored the images from Christmas Cookies and die cut with the Coordinating Dies. 

Copic Colors Used:

Brown: E35, E55, E31, E50

Red: R89, R27, R24, R14

Green: YG17, YG13, YG01

To complete my project, I stamped the sentiment onto a a strip kraft cardstock, attached it to the tags, and added the sweet Ginger people. That's it! Such a fun and easy gift that the recipient will be sure to love! 

Thanks so much for stopping by...enjoy your weekend!

Hugs,

Tammy
