Hey Cutie Circle Card

 

Look at how cute this cutie is!  This is a new orange die that works perfectly with the Circle Shaped Card Die Set by Trinity Stamps.  I added the "cutie" and sentiments from the Hey, Cuties Stamp Set and coordinating die set.  To step this card up, I added the little orange to a wobbler!

The orange slice background on the front of this card was cut using the Orange You Glad Circle Card Add On Die Set.  To help create a little extra dimension, I used three different colors of orange cardstock and dusted the edges of the slice pieces with a little Cracked Pumpkin Distress Oxide Ink.  

I selected the Copic colors to color my little cutie, based on the shades of the orange cardstock.  

I heat embossed the sentiment on the front of the card and used the coordinating dies to cut it out.  The sentiment on the inside of the card is stamped directly on the cardstock.  

Don't forget to add a little sparkle to the front of the card with a few Gold Sparkle Spots.

This is a very quick card to make, and the orange background could be used for may occasions.  I was thinking it would be great for a brunch invitation.

Champion In The Making

 

Every now and then I come across a patterned paper of die set that I just have to have.  This card has both of those.  The paper is called Vintage Carnival and it is by Crafter Companion.  I love the vintage look that is throughout the entire collection.  The die sets are from Simon Says Stamps and they are Prize Ribbon and Festive Bunting.  

Of course, it is one thing to have great paper and some cool dies, but I needed to tie the two together with a stamp set.  I felt like this had a nostalgic baseball feel, so I decided to us the adorable stamp set by Pajama Crafter Stamps called Champion In The Making.  I think this little fella makes just the perfect focal point and the Fan Finger and Baseball Mitt balance out the whole card.  Everything about this stamp set is perfect from the baseball images to the sentiments.  I used two of the sentiments for the front of the card and one for the inside.  

I used Copic markers to color my little friend and his accessories in the following colors:

• W00, BG70, BG72 - blue gray
• W00, W1, W3 - gray
• E50, E34, E35 - hair
• E50, E51, E53 - skin

I am just thrilled with the way this card turned out.  Don't you think he is just so handsome?

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have been inspired to color a little champion yourself.

Pass The Geria-TRIX Cereal Please

Hi guys! I am having way too much fun with the new Crafty Pantry Box die set by Trinity Stamps. This little set is packed with creative possibilities, and I have already made three different cards with it. I’ll be sharing the other two soon, so stay tuned! And while I would love to claim full credit for the “Geria-TRIX” brand on the box, that bit of brilliance came from my youngest son. He is definitely my muse—always ready with a funny idea when I need one.

I was inspired to make this card by the sentiment on the Pantry Box Branding Basics Stamp Set.  To complete the theme of this box, I used some specialty cardstock which is actually very thin burlap.  I also included a little "fiber guy" using the die from the Fro-Yo Friends Die Set that makes the face on the cherry.  

The supplies that I used for this card are:

• Retro Diamond Pattern Layered Stencil
• Crafty Pantry Box Die Sets
• Pantry Box Branding Basics Stamp Set
• Fro-Yo Friends Die Set
• Tiny Bowl Buddy Die Set
• Simply Sentimental: Happy Stamp Set
• Simply Sentimental: Birthday Stamp Set

Just Add Sprinkles - Baker Bear

Hello and Happy Release Day!  Today I have a card on the hop that is featuring a few of the new products from the current Trinity Stamps Release.  

I fell in love with these little bears thought it would be fun to put the little bear on a wobbler to tie in the "sprinkles" theme.

For the background on this card, I used the new Sprinkles Letterpress plate with purple glimmer foil on a lilac-colored cardstock.  Once it was foiled, I cut it down to 5.25" x 4.0" and glued a piece of light brown woodgrain cardstock cut to .75" x 5.25" to the bottom.  Before I glued the woodgrain piece to the bottom of the card, I dusted up the edges of the lilac cardstock with a little Villainous Potion Distress Oxide Ink and dusted the woodgrain cardstock with Vintage Photo Oxide Ink. Next, I glued it piece of white cardstock that I cut with the Dainty Scallops Rectangles (A2) Die Set.  I glued those two pieces to a piece of pink cardstock cut to 5.5" x 4.25". 

My little friend and cupcake were stamped and cut from the new Just Add Sprinkles Stamp Set and Coordinating Die Set.

I used the following Copic markers to color them in:

• E50, E21, E23, E25, E29
• R11, R20
• RV21, RV04
• B0000, B000
• V04, V06, V17
• Y02, Y08, Y19

For the sentiment on the outside of my card, I used the new Simply Sentimental: Sprinkles Stamp Set and Coordinating Die set.  For the inside sentiment, I used the sentiment that came with the stamps set.

To put this card together, I popped up the cupcake on foam dots and added a wobbler to the back of my little bear.  The stamp set also has some tiny sprinkles to color in and die cut, so I added a few to the floor around my friend and his cupcake.  Such a messy little fellow!

This is such a sweet little set and while I had it out on my worksurface, I made another card that I will share at a future date!
