Envelope Liner Die

A new envelope liner die was released at The Stamps of Life yesterday.

This is a fabulous set for decorating the inside of your envelopes AND the dies also work great for decorating matching cards!

Here is a closer look at this envelope with the die inserted.

I used the Birdpudgie15 stamp and die set, mini bow die.

This is such a fun die set!

I can't wait to decorate more envelopes!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hey Birdie

Hello Friends!

Today I am sharing a card that I made with the new Bird Pudgie15 from The Stamps of life.

I colored the birdie with Prisma pencils and blended with gamsol and blending stumps.

I used grape and lemonade cardstock and 

Blessings collection paper

Here is the inside of the card.

The glasses are from the pineapple2stamp set.

 I have a feeling these glasses are going to get a lot of use!

Thank You

I needed to make a thank you card this weekend for a someone and luckily I had this awesome image all ready colored so all I had to do was put the card together!

The image is Birdie kiss by House Mouse Designs® from Stampendous.

I colored it with prisma color pencils and blended with gamsol and my blending stumps.

The flowers are Chaba Flowers.

The sentiment is from the Friendly Phrases perfectly clear stamps.

Hope you enjoyed my House Mouse inspiration.

One of the great things about being on the Stampendous design team are all the great products donated to us from terrific companies.

I colored the image with Prisma colored pencils and blended with gamsol and blending stumps.

I used Fitted Frames dies.

The sentiment is Scrolled Thinking.

The ribbon is Glimmer Ribbon from Creative Impressions.

And of course...when we hop there are prizes!

Staged

Have you seen the new pop up stages from Stampendous?

I got them because they were new and they looked cool but honestly I hadn't opened them yet becausee I wasn't exactly sure how to use them.

But this week the Stampendous team is sharing projects made with these dies and the Spring Tweet stamps and dies.

Here is the front of my card.

I colored the images with Prisma colored pencils and blended with gamsol and blending stumps.

The best part???

The inside!!

Check it out!

Here is a side view so you can see the stages.

Such a fun way to make a super special card for a super special person!

Still not sure how to use these Pop Up Stages dies?

Spring Tweets

We are having a TON of rain here in California the last few days.

As much as we need it, I have to admit that it makes me yearn for spring a little bit.

So, it's a perfect coincidence that the Stampendous team is sharing some of the projects that we made with the new Spring Tweets Stamps set and dies.

I colored this image with Prisma color pencils and blended with gamsol and blending stumps.

I created the patterned paper by stenciling the Big dots stencil with regular embossing paste on teal cardstock.

For the inside I used a cute sentiment from the Tweet Chirps Perfectly Clear Stamp set.

Kovu and Hootie

Hello High Hopes Fans!

We made it to Friday...and I hope you have a fun weekend ahead!

My weekend will definitely include time in my craft room playing with my new High Hopes Stamps.

Today I am sharing a fun woodsy card that I made with 

Kovu and Hootie.

I colored them with Colored Pencils.

I did a little paper piecing because these images are perfect for this technique!

The snow was created with Tulip paint.

The snowflakes are The Paper Studio from Hobby Lobby.

The sentiment is Friends are the best Collectibles.

The paper is from the Doodlebug Designs Happy Camper Paper Pack.

Check back daily for more Woodland Friends inspiration and please join in on the fun with us!

More Winter Tweets

Stampendous has been sharing lots of great samples using the new Winter Tweets stamp set and dies all this week and today I have another sample to add to the collection.

I colored the image with Prisma colored pencils and blended with gamsol and blended with blending stumps.

The circle and scallop circle border was cut out with pieces from the Build a Wreath die set.

The patterned paper was from my stash and the ribbon is May Arts.

This set is so fun and versatile.

Tons of inspiration on the Stampendous Blog this week!

The Sweetest Songs

Happy Friday!

Today I have a beautiful Card in a Box to share with you.

I used the Cling Bird Blossom stamp set from Stampendous Stamps for today's project.

 The patterned paper is from Graphic 45

I colored the images with Copic Markers.

I just LOVE how this turned out!

This is the kind of card that you save for that extra special someone who will appreciate the time and effort spent on it....or perhaps it's the kind of card that stays on your shelf so that you can enjoy it!

 I used one of the Sizzix card in a box dies for this card.

Hope you enjoyed this little taste of spring!

Have a great weekend.
