Card Series: Beach Treasures

Welcome to another card series- this time I am sharing the Beach Treasures stamp set (which you can purchase with a coordinating thin cut if you prefer to have zero fussy cutting). I love this set and it can work on cards or layouts- who doesn’t spend many a summer day beach side (especially in my part of Canada where we are wedged between two lakes). Our lazy beach days inspired all of these pretty cards.

Hello Weekend card- this one is created with a water-coloured background. I cut out the stitched rectangle and stamped the sand line with toffee ink. I then stamped some of the ‘sand’ pattern in toffee. Over top of that, and the sky, I added some water-colour paints to create my background. Only when very dry did I add my sentiment with black ink.

To create my starfish I stamped in toffee ink (and cut him out using the thin cut set). I think used my toffee ink and ‘smooshed’ it on my all-purpose mat. I added a few drops of water to the ink to create some pooling and dipped my starfish in to create this patterned look.

So grateful card- I love the simplicity of this card. I used my waterbrush and picked up some of the toffee ink from the lid of the stamp pad. I then flicked this ink across the card base. Using a stitched circle as a frame, I added the conch shell which had been coloured with our watercolour pencils. Some gold and white twine finished the look.

Another simple card and this one also uses very little cardstock! The background is random stamped with the seashells in the Beach Treasures set- I then coloured them in with the watercolour pencils. A simple piece of white cardstock was added across the card to hold the sentiment and some gold and white twine finishes it off.

Now what about all these sentiments? These are all from the August stamp of the month: From me to You. It is such a great stamp set!

This set, and all the other items featured on these cards, are available on my SHOP

BUT they all retire soon so don’t delay – August 31st is the LAST day of the current Idea Book.

August SOTM: From Me to You- Card Series

I wanted to share this awesome Stamp of the Month: From Me to You. Why? Well, it is a card lover’s dream – super cute fonts, on-trend verbiage, and sentiments for many different occasions. This is a set you can use time and time again- I love when we release sets like this!

Below I created a few cards using some of the current product available in my shop. When you make a purchase of $50 or more, you can add this sweet stamp set on for only an additional $6! A fantastic deal and a cherry on top of your purchase 🙂

This is a little 3×3 card with a peek-a-boo window. I cut the window using one of the squares from our Stitched squares thin cut set. I placed some cute paper on the inside of the card (this was from one of our Mix-in packs) and added some acrylic hearts. Sweet and simple- this card can be used as a more masculine Get Well Soon card.

This is my FAV of this series. I love the bright yellow stripes and the flower thin cut is one that I cannot use enough- it is so versatile! The colours are bright and fun which is a nice complement for saying sorry. I also sanded the edges of the pewter cardstock – sanding is a great way to tone down a colour on a project without changing it out.

This next card is a simple thank you card that is perfect for when you need a more masculine look. The inside piece of cardstock slides out to reveal your note. The outside is a sleeve. This card is in our card how-to book Wishes and is one of my favourite designs. Mix in patterned paper and a piece of shimmer trim are also used.

Lastly, I have this fun pink card featuring a shaker window (love me a shaker window!). Some sanding and a journaled border add some more fun to this card. Inside the shaker window I also stamped some of the hearts from the SOTM- you can just see them behind the sequins.

What sentiment would you use first if you owned this stamp set? Post your reply in the comments below.

September Stamp of the Month

Have you seen our September Stamp of the Month yet? Paper Garden is perfect for fall cards and layouts (and can be used in many other ways!). The stamp set also coordinates with our Cricut Artistry cartridge which allows you to cut your flowers out and stamp faster, simpler and easier!

Here I paired the stamp set with our Nevermore paper- that’s right, the halloween themed paper can be used for more than just halloween! Both cards feature some of the patterned paper and cardstock from the Nevermore paper pack. Sticking with the purples and greys allows for a pretty card that is not overly feminine (even with the flowers added).

Stamp of the Month: What a Hoot and ShinHan Markers

Earlier this month I shared a card that I created with the What a Hoot stamp of the month- now I want to share with you this cute treat bag! Wouldn’t you LOVE to receive some Halloween goodies in this!

I used the Designer Creations Buttoned Bag and our Scaredy Cat papers to create this bag. Of course I coloured my images in our ShinHan Touch Twin markers- I really, really do LOVE these markers! Below I have a video I created that shows the simple colouring I did in creating this gift bag- if you have never used alcohol markers then you may find this very helpful!

August Stamp of the Month Blog Hop: What a Hoot

Welcome to our August Blog Hop and the first hop in an all new Annual Inspirations Idea Book!! If you have come from Jill’s blog then you are on the correct path in our circular hop- just keep reading and then hop on to the next blogger below.

Have you SEEN the adorable stamp of the month’s we are offering in the Annual Inspirations?!! They are soooooo stink in’ cute!

August brings to us the ‘What a Hoot’ Stamp set- it may seem early for something that has a Halloween taste to it but given that you need time to create all your Halloween goodness it is really just in time!

I made this card using the CTMH Cricut Artiste- this is one of the swing cards that you can cut (sized at 5 1/2 when I cut). I then added elements from the Scaredy Cat paper and complements packs. I stamped and cut out my stamped images (and coloured aspects in with our NEW shinhan touch twin markers!). Finished it off with some of our white enamel stars (coloured with the new markers.. more on that in a later post).

The next item is a gift bag- made using the same paper and the August stamp of the month- how cute!!! You could use these to hand out candy in your neighbourhood (provided you don’t get a zillion kids- we usually get two or three so I could manange).

Want to get this stamp set for your own? Place an order on my SHOP (link at top of page) and when you spend $50 you can get this for only $5.00!!! (and if you JOIN my August launch party while you are at the SHOP then you might also win the hostess rewards!!)

June Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

Welcome to the June stamp of the month blog hop- I hope you are ready for LOTS of inspiration in how you can use this VERY fun stamp set! If you have just come from Dawn’s Blog then you are on the right path! Just read on and follow the link at the end of my post!

june stamp layout

For my layout I used the stamp to add the small title and ticket details to my page. I also used one of the small firework bursts in first and second generation stamping and added it to the bottom right corder of the page (where I had also used some spray from the spray pen).

Other elements of my page came from the My Crush Assortments- these little bags of assortments are PURE GOLD!! They have lots of fun pieces that you can use in a variety of ways- I used mine for the letter stickers and the tag embellishment. Added some baker’s twine and I love how this one page came out!

Now hop on over to Traci’s blog to see what she has created!

Remember to leave some love!
