TGF Super Secret Stamp Club #007

Hi everyone! It's here! My very first stamp since joining
The Greeting Farm's Super Secret Stamp Club subscription.
What's that? Well it's a 3-month online subscription where they mail you a "mystery" stamp 1-5 months before it's scheduled to be released as an exclusive first look.
You get these stamps for $8 a piece as opposed to the regular $12! 
For more info on this SSSC click here.
The first one I received is absolutely adorable!
 Isn't he just too stinkin' cute?! I just love him!
This stamp is called "Puppy Love"-SSSC no.007
I don't have many boy stamps so this was a fabulous suprise!
 I'm very happy with how his hair turned out as well. I was a little worried with the side whip, but I think it came out fine. And this little pupperoo just called for a brown spot over his eye for personality.
I coordinated the circles into the inside of the card as well. The circles was inspired by Kristina Werner's July Mail Call theme. You can find her here.
Hope you all enjoy!

Happy Hump Day!

Good morning! I wanted to hop on here and get this up before we leave for the day.
The hubs and I are taking the girls to Legoland for our oldests birthday!
They have no idea and have never been so it's pretty exciting.
I created this little card using my new lawn fawn stamps and dies
I bought in my recent SSS haul. 
This set is the "Love You Smore" stamps & dies.
For some reason they wouldn't link up below so I'll link them above.


Isn't that little s'more adorable? 
I kept is very simple, stamped the images on scrap neenah cardstock, colored and cut them out using their coordinating dies. Then adhering them straight onto the cardstock with a little Tombow Mono Multi and added some Wink of Stella to the flames.


I decided to leave the inside of this card blank to leave plenty of room to personalize it.
The sentiment came from the same stamp set.
I just pieced it together how I wanted it and stamped it using Versafine ink.


Just look at that smiling s'more! He's just to cute for words. 
He looks so perfectly toasty too, now I want a s'more.
Oh wait! I have s'more granola bars in the pantry, I know what this momma is having on the ride up to Legoland!
Hope you all enjoyed and have s'more fun today.

TGIF!

 Woohoo it's Friday! This week kind of flew by for me it seems. 
There are two challenges this week that I've kind of blended together.
The first is Paper Smooches June Picture Perfect challenge. 
Here is the inspiration picture...
And the second challenge I combined that picture with is from MFT Sketch challenge 180

 Both challenges caught my attention so I went to work creating something that would blend the two together and this is what I came up with.

Super adorable unicorn from Paper Smooches! I just love how this turned out.
I created the notebook paper look using Neenah cardstock and a notebook border die.
For the sentiment cloud I stamped the cloud from the set, cut it out and used the backside of the paper to stamp the sentiment on.

I used Wink of Stella clear glitter pen on the rainbow mane and tail, although it's hard to pick up on camera just how shimmery it is.  
The kraft color cardstock really helps this pop right off the page. I originally planned to use a white card base but I felt it was just too much white on white for me.

For the inside of the card I stamped the sentiment and rainbow from the same set using MFT hybrid inks in Black Licorice and Kraft.
And thats the card for today, I hope you like it and I hope you will play along in these fun challenges too!

Make a card Monday!

Good Monday morning everyone! Today I reverted back to my current fixation with windows/portholes. This time it's space theme!
 Isn't that little alien just the cutest?! The Paper Smooches Space Cadet set comes with the most perfect sentiments, I just love them!
 I used clear acetate I had left over from packaging to make the window. For some reason it tends to make my camera angry and comes out slightly blurry. You can see the stars in the background that I used a stencil and VersaMark ink with silver embossing powder on. Now I'm thinking I should have done them in gold. What do you think, silver or gold stars?
For the inside of the card I stamped the little rocket and copic colored it and glued it to the inside of the card next to the sentiment.  I'm on a boy/masculine card kick lately. I've been trying to push myself to create more cards that I don't typically make. 
It's a challenge for me, but a fun one.
That's the card for today, I'll catch you back here next time!
