Kitty Love

 

I so love this stamp set 'Pretty Kitty'. Its very versatile. I paired it with the 'Rings of Love' DSP (Designer Series Paper)... so I picked up the colors within the paper to color the stamped image.

I added a 'Wink of Stella' to make the flowers shine.

The banner and heart die is from the Hearts and Hugs die set.

Thanks for taking a peek!

All About Beer

 

When I saw Oksana's card... I knew I needed one for myself! Thanks for the inspiration! For the background... I used the DSP within the 'All About Autumn' papers. The dies are from 'Spotlight on Nature', 'Tasteful Labels' and 'Circles Collection' dies.

Wonderful Nature

 

I finally received my 'Spotlight On Nature' stamp set (it had been on backorder for so long)! I chose to re-create Karen Trelfa's card just with different colors and background embossing folder. Such a great card! Thanks Karen! I do wish the 'Spotlight on Nature' dies included one for the butterfly. I had to fussy cut it out.

I added a Wink of Stella to the petals and butterfly to make them shine.

Thanks for stopping by!

Wishing Forest

 

I really liked Rosina Carrasco's card (found on Pinterest). I changed a few things to make it my own. Thanks Rosina for your lovely inspiration!

I used my brayer with Craft White ink to make the background piece to 'pop' with the snowflakes. I used the stylus to make the sentiment piece 'pop' stand out. The "moon" is gently inked with 'Wink of Stella' to make it shine.

Thanks for taking a closer look!

Farm Friends

 

The 'Peekaboo Farm' stamp set is such a cute set to work with! I decided to go all out on this card for my Grand Niece, Mia (for her 1/2 birthday... as her birthday is really in December, but we will be celebrating it in June each year). Since she will be 1 1/2 on this half birthday... and she's at the stage of saying 'Moo' when she sees a cow... the 'Peekaboo Farm' stamp set was perfect for her.

For the front of the card, I used the 'Give It A Whirl' dies. The animals in each window are the pig, the cow and the ram. The sentiment I used for the front is from the 'Turtle Friends' stamp set.

Now for the inside.... told you I went all out on this card.

I sorta used Lisa's Stamp Studio LLC's idea for the inside... a 'pop-up' card. Not sure how her card closed without part of the 'stone wall' sticking out of the card. So, for mine... I made a few more folds to make them more accordion-style. The sentiments on the inside of the card are from the 'Balloon Adventures' stamp set.

Thanks for taking a closer look!

Paradise Year

 

I really liked the colors in this card I found on Pinterest. No name though, so I can't say whose inspiration I got for my card! If the card is yours.... Thank You!

I used stamps that I had on hand and a bit different colors, but the concept is the same.

I added a 'Wink of Stella' to the trees to make them shine.

Garage Moments

 

My nephew has always wanted to work on cars... his job as a mechanic at the Mercedes-Benz Dealership is fun for him. I wanted to incorporate his love for working on cards in this card... so I used the other elements from the 'Geared Up Garage' instead of the car itself in the set.

Thanks for taking a look!

Friendly Home

 

Cora, my brother-in-law's significant other enjoys riding on her bike with my brother-in-law. I felt this stamp would work great for her. I looked on Pinterest for a card I could get inspired by, and I came across Archie's card... so pretty! I love the floral spray along the circle.

I decided to change a few things to make it my own, but I wanted to give credit to Archie!

Layered Giggles

 

LOL! I LOVE this set! Although it IS retired... it has some great sayings that are too good to pass up again! My brother.... who loves cheese AND is turning '50' this year... this is perfect for him!

I made the background out of Daffodil Delight cardstock. I just randomly placed the circle dies to make it look like cheese holes. I added a bit of Daffodil Delight on a sponge dauber around the edges and the holes to make them stand out.

Thanks for looking!

Special Daffodil

 

I wanted to utilize the dies in the 'Daffodil' die set. This set coordinates with the 'Daffodil Daydream' stamp set beautifully. As you can see... I only used the dies to create the flower. Such a cute die set - and easy to put together.

I added 'Wink of Stella' to the white portions of the flower to make it shine.

The background piece is from the 'True Love' DSP papers.

Bouquet Expressions

 

Even though I didn't follow 'Paper Daisy Crafting's' card exactly, I wanted to show you how I came up with/got inspired from her lovely card.

I used the sentiment from the new 2021-2022 Hostess set 'Expressions of Friendship'. The flowers and leaves are from the 'Beautiful Bouquet' stamp set and it's coordinating 'Bouquet Bunch' dies.

The background is my all time favorite - Layered Leaves Embossing Folder.

I added a 'Wink of Stella' to the petal flowers to make them shine.

Itty Nail

 

What a cute card made by Joann Stubbings at 'Just Add Ink' blog found on Pinterest. I chose to use Cinnamon Cider instead of the Bermuda Bay. For the DSP... I used a sheet from the 'Simply Elegant' DSP pack. I added a touch of 'Wink of Stella to the gray parts of the tool to make them shine.

Flowing Paradise

 

I'm all for tropical cards anytime! So, when the January -June 2022 Mini Catalog came out with the 'Paradise Palms' stamp set (and they do have a coordinating die set, but I did not use it here!), I just knew I had to get it for my collection.

I wanted to create a sunset scene that was elegant too... as this card is going to my father-in-law.

I added a 'Wink of Stella' to the sun to make it shine.

Thanks for taking a look!
