Sending My Love Valentine's Day Banner With Lindsey

Hi, Lindsey here today. I'm sharing a Valentine's Day banner using Sending My Love. This set has so many fun little critters, and this time I decided to use the little bunny. I also included the little mail box, some hearts, and a sentiment. All you need in one set! Let's get started on how to create this fun banner.

To begin I cut the banner pieces using some Doodlebug Design Valentines paper. I cut six large banners and four small banners from patterned paper. I cut an additional two small banners from white card stock to do my stamping on. 

I cut four stitched circles from red and the word "love" from white card stock. I adhered the white letters onto the red circles. Then I attached the red circles to the small patterned paper banners using foam tape. 

Next, I stamped my images onto the small white banners and colored them using Copic markers. Once all the small banners were finished, I threaded some Valentine twine through the two top holes for decoration. Finally, I attached the small banners to the larger ones and strung them together using more Valentines twine.

That's it! I love how this sweet banner turned out. It will make a perfect decoration to hang on the mantel for Valentine's Day. I hope you'll check out this adorable set and create your own decorative banner. Thanks for reading and have a great day!

Backyard Bugs Lunchbox Notecards Video by Emily

I have a fun project for you today! After I discovered that I could make lunchbox notecards with the Crescent Tag Topper Dies, I decided to share the process in a video because it's so much fun. I just love the versatility of these affordable dies and while you could use any of the Sunny Studio Stamp sets for these notecards, I thought these little notecards would be the perfect way to showcase the Backyard Bugs stamp set and coordinating dies.




My son hasn't seen these yet but I know he's going to love getting them in his lunchbox! The bugs are adorable  and I love the little sentiments. All of the images mix and match so well with each other, giving you an unlimited number of scenes. It's the perfect set for spring projects!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Rain or Shine Let's Weather It Together Card with Eloise

Hello everyone. Happy New Year! Eloise here and I'm here to show you a card I made with the Rain or Shine stamp set.

To start off my card today I stamped the images from the Rain or Shine stamp set and coloured them in some Copic Markers. Of course this little dog had to be wearing a yellow rain coat and holding a rainbow umbrella, am I right? Haha! That's always my favourite way to colour these images for these scenes. I then used the coordinating dies to die cut out my images. 

For the background, I used various blue Distess Inks and a piece of acetate and made this watercolour background. I love how you can control it a bit better with acetate and also, I love the different effects you get from using it. It's super easy, I just smooshed down the colour from the ink pad onto the acetate, sprayed it lightly with water and pressed down on top of some watercolour paper. I did a light blue first, then came in darker.

Now the background was complete I dried it with a heat tool and ran it through my Big Shot with a rectangle die, this helps it flatten out plus it gives it a nice stitched edge too. I then stamped the sentiment from the Rain and Shine set also with some black ink onto the background. I then assembled my scene on top and adhered my panel onto a yellow card base. For a finishing touch I added some Wink of Stella over top of some of the image and my card was complete.

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed and got inspired and stop by the rest of the week for more inspiration.

Happy Birthday With A Cherry On Top by Lexa

Hello everyone!  Lexa here with a super sweet card featuring Fresh & Fruity stamp and it's coordinating dies. It brings out the summer vibe earlier than you expected, I hope it's ok with you. :)

I started my card with a piece of 4.25" x 5.5" watercolor paper and used my Kuretake Gansai Tambi to create the background. Here's a tip on how to create a watercolor background like this... First, I wet the surface of my paper and started to smooshing the colors. Be bold! Don't be afraid to make mistakes, blend all the colors until you think it's enough. You can also press up the watercolor with paper towel if you desire a lighter color. It's super easy and so much fun!

I stamped all my images with Versafine black ink and color them with Distress Markers, then cut them all with the coordinating dies. I wanted to arrange all the fruity fruits diagonally across my card. But before that, I die cut some vellum circles as a guide and it's also give you the bokeh effect. I glued the vellum with a little bit of glossy accent, make sure you didn't put too much or it will become a mess. I white embossed the "happy birthday" from Blissful Baking on a piece of black cardstock and created a fishtail banner.

Last but not least, I added some water drops embellishment from Pretty Pink Posh. It kinda gives you a wet and fresh look. Thank you so much for stopping by.  I wish you an awesome day!
