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!

Lawn Fawn Into Tuesday!

Phew! Birthday madness is over with! 

The Maleficent party went really well, I had a lot of fun creating stuff for it.

Now back to CARDS!!! 

I got to break out my Lawn Fawn Into the Woods stamp set for this one.

 This fox is by far my favorite critter from this set. 

I nestled him inside the cut out circle, created my own pattern background on the desert storm cardstock using SSS Khaki ink and the little leaf from the set.

 As you can see here my embossing got really messy this time, which I haven't really had an issue with in a long time so I'm not quite sure what happened there. 

I mounted the wood pattern paper directly to the green cardstock and die cut a circle from the top center.

Then I popped the whole panel up on dimensionals.

I don't know if I really colored him accurately like a fox but I do love how he turned out. The blending came out better than I anticipated since using colors that didn't really blend well together.

Well that is the card for today. I just got my new Erin Condren Life Planner in the mail today!

 Eeeek! I'm in love! Going to plan out a lot more time for crafting and blogging!

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!
