Hello Dolly

I received this gorgeous set from My Cute Stamps last week and had so much fun playing with it. I love ALL the adorable stamps included in the set and used four of them to create this card:

I started with a plain white card and stamped in black the flower in various directions to create the background. I then had trouble matching the black of my ink with black dp that I had, so I used a sponge and the black ink to create my own paper that would match perfectly! I whizzed this through my sewing machine to add a little detail and then paper pieced the Russian dolls for the centre piece. I also used a black glaze pen to highlight some of the details on the dolls - I really like the effect. I finished off the card with the border stamp & sentiment stamp and some ribbon. 

Thanks for visiting, 

Ooh La La!!

When I first opened this pack of My Cute Stamps - "Paris" my first thought was "Ooh La La!". I decided to make a card using a pastel flowery design.

I used a floral paper to make the background and sewed around all the edges. I stamped the Eiffel Tower stamp on patterned paper and then cut it out and mounted with foam pads. The Paris stamp was stamped on to a pre-made die-cut and I stamped the tiny flourish in the top corner.

Materials used: Papermania papers, My Cute Stamps - Paris, Memento ink,  The Girls' Paperie die-cut, Papermania alphabet die-cuts, Dovecraft pearl brad, vintage lace and paper roses.

Tea Party

Good morning -  I have made some ATCs to show for today, or they could be used as toppers for cards - using the pretty stamps Tea Party by My Cute Stamp, available here.  These are such cute little stamps and certainly live up to their name!  I stamped them with Memento and coloured with Copics and Promarkers and added some SU Dazzling Diamonds to finish them (you probably need to click on the piccy to see the sparkle!).

Stamps - My Cute Stamp
Inks - Memento, Copics, Promarkers
Other - atc blanks, SU Dazzling Diamonds

A Thank you tag

I recently received the gorgeous 'Be my Bridesmaid' stamps by My Cute Stamps which you can find here at Make the Day special. The images in the set are so gorgeous and girly, I couldn't wait to ink them up!
I decided to make something other than a card for a change and embellished a chipboard tag which can be added to a Bridesmaid's gift.

To make the tag, I stamped the sentiment onto a strip of gingham paper and added it to the bottom of the tag. I layered this with some cream flowery paper and covered the join with lace. I stamped the image onto smooth white card. coloured it in with Promarkers and cut it out, adding gems to the flowers.
I threaded the tag with girly pink ribbon and added 2 prima flowers and small roses with my glue gun.
As a finishing touch, I dotted around a couple more gems.
I really like this colour scheme and I am planning to use the leftovers from the tag to make a matching card.
I hope you have a great Friday!

Layers Of Color Tag

All distressed today - don't worry, I'm not distressed but my make is LOL!

I have been playing with the Layers of Color stamp set called Joyful Noise, so pretty. I made a little distressed tag which was actually inspired by the project idea on the back of the stamp set packet.

I've grunged up the papers with my seam ripper and distress inks, with a little tear here and there.

Hope you are having a fabulous Distressed day.

Kim
