Red & Goldie

Today I have two fun Red and Goldie projects to share with you today.  Kasia stamped the trees from Let It Snow to create a background for the little Red character.  I just adore it!

Chunyuan used our Brushed clear stamps to create a modern background for Red and her fox friend.  I love the two different looks!

Three Fabulous Cards

Today I have three fabulous cards to share with you.  Yainea created this first card using our Brushed stamp set.  I love her striped border.  So modern and fresh!

Yainea created this next card using the tree from Let It Snow and the paint stripes from Brushed.  Her idea to combine the my friend sentiment from our Simply Said: Hello stamp set with the Hello from our Brushed stamp set is a great way to customize the card.

Caryn created this pretty card using the background stamp from Woodgrain & More and a sentiment from Red & Goldie.  Clean and simple and right up my alley!

Thanks for stopping by to take a peek. Have a great day!

Write It with JJ

I have this fun card by JJ to share with you today. She used our Write It stamp set and new Custom Panels die to create the "sheet of paper" and our Bottle It Up die to create inkwell.  The background scoring creates such a fun texture and background.  I just love this!!

Inspiration from Kasia & Chunyuan

Hello!  I am popping in today to share some great cards by Chunyuan and Kasia today. 

Chunyuan combined our Storybook and brushed stamp sets to create this adorable card. I just love it!

In this next card Chunyuan used our Custom Panels Elle-ments Dies and our Storybook stamp and die set to create this cute scene. I love her added details like the stitched speech bubble.

Kasia created this card using our Simply Said Hello Stamps & Dies and our new Woodgrain & More stamp set.  This card is so cool.

Four Fantastic Cards

Today I have some fantastic cards to share with you.  Yainea created this card using the angle and label die from our new Custom Panels Elle-ments Die set.  The cute sentiment is from our Red & Goldie stamp set.   I love the way Yainea accented the point of the angle with the tiny bow.

Caryn created these next three cards using our Brushed stamp set.  She used our Avery's Alphas stamps and dies to create this first card. I love the way she used the brushed border stamp behind the word colour. All three cards are so fun!

Three Fabulous Cards

Today I have some great cards to share with you.  Chunyuan created both cards using the background building stamps from our Woodgrain & More stamp set.  She shows how you can stamp them to create seamless backgrounds.  I love that there are three different patterns to give you a lot of options.  In her first card she used the set along with our The Man stamp set.

Chunyuan used our Needle Little Love, Thanks A Bunch, Bottle It Up and Build A Banner dies with our Woodgrain and More stamp set to create this lovely card.
