April Reveal | Your Next Stamp

It is time for this month's stamp reveal at Your Next Stamp today!!!
We have so many cute stamps with matching dies, gumdrops and a fishy background being released today. It is so exciting when new products are up for grabs.
In order for us to share these new products we are having a BLOG HOP today with the design team members and guests. The hop starts today until April 7th so hop around and check out the amazing cards this team has created. If you'd like to win a Gift Certificate to the store ...keep reading!

Today I'd like to show you a few cards I created using the NEW PRODUCTS:
Fishy Background and the Just Keep Floating Stamp Set with Dies.

I first stamped the background image on white Neenah 80lb Solar White Cardstock and then added some Distress ink. I colored by little floating kitties using Copic Markers.
I used the metal dies made for these images and cut them out - no fussy cutting for me!
I then added some dimensional adhesives behind the kitties and floating donuts to create some dimension.

 I stamped the sentiments on black cardstock with versamark and did some heat embossing using white embossing powder. This little background stamp is so versatile and if you wanted to color each individual fishy you could! The kitties are super cute in this set and could be used for so many cards. I have a few already created ;) 

I hope you enjoyed your time here and please come join the other team members on this reveal day!

You Are Paw-some! | Your Next Stamp

I am sharing another card I created with the November release from Your Next Stamp. I used the stamp set called Meowy Christmas! No Worries Dog lovers - YNS has a dog set as well called Payliday Pups! 

I created my background with some Distress Oxide, used a diecut called Snowy Mountains Edge Die Set and Double Pierced Hills Die Set. I find both of these sets together create a great dimensional background. My little cat has a snowboard and on the back it says YO!

I colored my design with my zig markers and really like the background. I could have shaded a bit better with my coloring but It's still cute!

I am once again a guest for YNS this month and excited to share my card with you. 

I played with the stamp set called Sweet and Fun Holiday.  The stamps set contains so many cute little furry mice in the Holiday Spirit. It also contains so many great sentiments, you could create TONS of cards and tags with this set. SOOOO CUTE! I made this card smaller than usual and it measures about 4x3". I used the Christmas Tree Die Set to create my dimensional tree and an image of a cute mouse with gifts. I added some bricks in the background using and old stencil and some distress oxide for color. I think it's sooo cute !

New Release Blog Hop | Your Next Stamp

It's time for the new September release at YOUR NEXT STAMP!

So Many super cute stamp sets are being released today. These are all great for Fall Birthdays, Thanksgiving, Halloween and so Much More!  The new sets I got to play with include:  Trick or Treat, Ghoultastic Halloween, and One Smart Cookie that I will show you later this month.

My first card is called Bewitching! I love Halloween Cards - mostly just to color fun images and I tend to keep them around for years. I colored these with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and some distress ink for my background.  I added some blue and purple resemble a dark sky and for this card I used the Ghoultastic Stamp Set. I fussy cut all the image so I could add dimensional adhesive  to my card.  SUPER CUTE!!!

 

 Here is my second card Ghostly Greetings using the Trick or Treat Stamp Set.
This card is one of my favs. I love these little dressed up characters and the mom behind the fence watching her kids go trick or treating.  I again added some distress ink for the background and the grass. The grass I added dimensional adhesive to position other elements in the background.

Popsicle Cards | Pattern Happy

Hello Friends!

It's Kristine with you today and I have some super cute cards to share with you! Summer is coming .. slowly but surely on the East Coast and it's time to start thinking about bright colors and yummy Popsicles!

 

I created 2 similar cards using papers from the Rainbows Paper Pad and the Coolest Ever Clear Stamp Set. I also used birthday phrases from the Bday Bash Clear Stamp.

I first stamped the images on Bristol Smooth Cardstock with Versafine ink. I colored with Zig Clean Color Markers (My favs!) then used the Coolest Ever Dies to finish the images with a clean cut.

Since I love popdots so much I added some on the back of both popsicles.
I added a birthday sentiment but anything goes with these cute images. You could do so many other fun titles with the words and phrases included in the Coolest Ever Clear Stamp set.

I hope you like my examples using these cute stamps and please come join us on social media! @PatternHappy & myself @KristineDavidson

Talk to you again soon!

Layouts & Cards | My Creative Scrapbook

I am a guest designer this month once again for My Creative Scrapbook. I really enjoy working with the MCS kits since they are always PACKED with so many products. You really can't go wrong with the price point as well .

THis is the kit I got to play with ..
Tons of Patio Party from Pebbles which I really loved. That bright pink just made me happy and of course lots of flower diecuts.
Here are my projects and please visit MCS on facebook or Instagram for more projects for their design team members.

WOW that was a lot! I really LOVED this kit and still have a few left over papers and diecuts that I will probably use for a card or two.
Thanks for visiting today !
