Cute Card Thursday - Valentines

Our theme at Cute Card Thursday this week is 'Valentines'. 
As always, we welcome your own interpretation. 

I decided to create some fun treat boxes for my family for Valentines day this year.

I made a pillow box treat box using a Lawn Fawn die, and filled it with Dove Heart chocolates. I used Simon Says Stamp Peeking Pup die and Punny Animals stamp set.

I made a milk carton style treat box by Lawn Fawn filled with Lindor chocolates. I used Lawn Fawn's candy hearts die set to cut out the window and tag.

A scalloped treat box filled with Lindor chocolates (a favorite in our house!!) I used Lawn Fawn's scalloped treat box die and Clearly Besotted Happy Hugs stamp set.

And finally, a thin plastic bag containing chocolate M&M's with a cute little heart tag (again using Lawn Fawn's candy hearts die).

We are sponsored this week by Scrapper's Delights store, a great prize as always! 

Hope you can join us!

I am entering these into Simon Says Stamp current Wednesday challenge - Anything Goes.

I love you GNOME matter what

Anyone who knows me will know that i have a MAJOR gnome obsession! not the garden variety but the scandinavian type gnomes. 

Of course, when Simon Says Stamp came out with the gnome dies snd stencils and stamps - i had to have them all!

i just loved using the Lil Gnome wafer dies and making them into Valentine cards - they worked perfectly with Echo Park's dots and stripes papers. I colored the noses and beards with comic markers.

Don't you just love them??

The sentiment was stamped from the Gnome for the Holidays stamp set.

I'm definitely going to be using these gnomes all year round!

i am entering these cards into Simon Says Stamp's Monday challenge blog - All Loved Up!

I LOVE U with Hello Bluebird & Echo Park

I'm back for 7KidsCraft Store with a non-traditional stamp set for a Love themed card.

I used Hello Bluebird's 'Spooky Spellers' stamp set to create a Valentines/love themed card. Look at your stamps in a different way - they don't always have to be used for the theme they are intended for.

I stamped the images and colored them in with my prismacolor pencils. I then fussy cut them out.

I used Echo Park's 'Just Married' 6x6 paper pad along with some foundation dies from Queen & Co. for the background. The banner is a die from Reverse Confetti and the heart die cut is from Lawn Fawn.

I finished the card off with a heart sprinkle from Doodlebug and added glossy accents to the banner, heart die cut and animal noses. Added it all to a standard A2 white card base.

I love how this card turned out.

Check out the 7KidsCraft Store for lots of great products.

Thanks for looking.

Happy Crafting :D

 

Cute Card Thursday - Greens

Our theme at Cute Card Thursday this week is 'Greens'. 
As always, we welcome your own interpretation. 

I used one of Queen & Company's shaker kits to make this card. This is one of my new favorite companies! The kit is called 'Sweet Treats' and includes everything you need to make the shaker cards.

They are super quick and easy to make. I used papers from Echo Park and Doodlebug, and the sentiment is from the kit.

We are sponsored this week by Oddball Art Co., a great prize as always!

Echo Park Little Lumberjack Collection

I'm super excited to post today - my first post as a fully fledged design team member for 7 Kids Craft Store. I love this online store - so many products and so much variety.

Of course I had to use one of my favorite brands for my first post - Echo Park!!!

Have you seen the Little Lumberjack collection - super fun. I always struggle to make cards for boys and men - this collection makes it all super easy. I used the 6x6 paper pad and ephemera pieces to make 3 cards.

They were quick and easy to put together with all elements and papers coordinating.

I did add some bakers twine from my stash and enamel dots from Carta Bella's Christmas collection.

Head on over to the store to get your papers and ephemera now.

 

Also, check out what other goodies they have. There are always lots more being added from new releases.

Happy crafting. x

Cute Card Thursday - What's New?

Our theme at Cute Card Thursday this week is 'Winter'. 
As always, we welcome your own interpretation. 

I used this fun new digital stamp 'Birdie Selfie' from Crissy Armstrong for Whimsy Stamps.

I printed the image onto white cardstock and colored it in with my prismacolor pencils. I used Whimsy Stamps notched rectangles dies to cut out the panel. 

I typed and printed the sentiment onto white cardstock and used Whimsy Stamps grass and cloud edger die to make it look like the clouds.

I adhered this onto a piece of blue patterned paper from my stash and then onto a standard A2 white card base.

We are sponsored this week by Di's Digi Stamps, a great prize as always! 

Hope you can join us!

I stamped the lollipop images using VersaFine CLAIR Nocturne (black) ink and colored them using my prismacolor pencils. I then used the hand stitched nested rectangle die (now retired) to cut out the panel. I used the same die to cut out the bottom of the black panel, so the stitched rectangle would line up all of the way round. I adhered these onto a piece of pink cardstock from the designer paper pack.

I used my paper trimmer with a scallop blade to cut out the scallop border strip in grey cardstock. I added some baker's twine and adhered this to the panel.

I stamped the sentiment onto white cardstock and used the 'quick strips' die set to cut out the stitched banner. I adhered this to the panel.  

I adhered all of this onto a patterned paper panel and then to a standard A2 white card base.

Cute Card Thursday - Embellish

Our theme at Cute Card Thursday this week is 'Embelish'. 
As always, we welcome your own interpretation. 

I used the super fun 'Doggie Skywriter' digital image from Whimsy Stamps for this card.

I printed out the image and colored it in with my prismacolor pencils. I was trying to make the dog look like my chocolate lab Axel. I then fussy cut it out.

I used KOI watercolor paints to create the background and die cut the panel using a Whimsy Stamps notched rectangle die. I die cut the clouds from white cardstock using Whimsy Stamps stitched cloud dies, and added wink of stella to them all for a bit of sparkle!

I popped the image up on foam dots and added some Doodlebug shape sprinkles (heart). The papers I used were from Pebbles 'Forever my Always' 6x6 paper pad.

This was all adhered to a standard A2 white card base.

We are sponsored this week by All Dressed Up Stamps, a great prize as always!
