Poppin' by to say...

Hello, Pretty Cute Stamp fans! We have been experiencing some heavy rain and flooding here in Texas. Perfect weather to stay inside and work in the craft room!

Today I am working with the super adorable Snack Time stamp set.

 

 

 

I grabbed a few prints from a 6x6 paper pad and used a few to cover the front of an A2 card base. I used a circle die to cut a circle out of white cardstock. I used the popcorn images from the Snack Time stamp set and stamped them randomly onto the circle. I also stamped the bucket of popcorn and colored it in with markers. The image is cut out and attached to the card using a foam dot. A sentiment is stamped onto a strip of cardstock and attached to the card. To finish the sentiment, I used foam alpha stickers.

 

Thank you for stopping by today!

You're My Best Bud

Hello, Pretty Cute Stamp fans! I cannot believe that it is Thursday already? Where is this week going? I know that I have been outside more enjoying the Spring weather, have you?

I am working with the adorable Spring Flowers stamp set.

 

 

I used an stitched die to create the rectangle. On the rectangle, I stamped the scene using a flower, grass, and butterfly images from the Spring Flowers stamp set. I colored in the scene using Chameleon markers. The rectangle is attached to the middle of a card base. The simple sentiment is stamped at the bottom of the card.

Hello, Spring!!!

Hello, Pretty Cute Stamp fans! Hope you are having a fabulous week! I am excited to share my project with you today!

I am working with the adorable Spring Flowers stamp set.

 

 

When I came up with the plan for this card, I envisioned a few flowers around the bottom corner. I stamped a few of the flowers with white ink and added white embossing powder. With the heat gun, I heated the powder until it melted. I used a variety of ZIG markers to color in the images. A simple sentiment is stamped. The panel is attached to a bright cardstock and attached to the card base.

 

As I am here typing this post, I look at the card and am thinking I might go back and add a few more images. Possibly covering the entire front.

Pretty Cute Stamps Monthly Challenge

Today starts a new Pretty Cute Stamps Challenge! This month the challenge is to make a project that is not a card!

 



I have been sitting on a few of these burlap sacks, so I decided to break them out and make a gift bag using the new Grow stamp set!
 

 

This bag would be great to give a few seed packets to your favorite gardener. So I decided to create a panel with a scene from a garden. I used a variety of prints to create the scene. I also used a variety of prints to stamp the images on and cut out. The scene is pieced together and attached to the front of the bag.

From Our Gnome to Yours

Hello, Pretty Cute Stamp fans! Hope you are having a fabulous week! I am excited to share my project with you today!

I am working with the super fun Gnomies stamp set!

 Last month I was lucky enough to win a set of ZIG markers. I am finally breaking them out and giving them a try! So, my first step to create this card was to stamp the images in a light ink color. The next step was to start coloring the images in with the different ZIG markers. Once the paint dried, I rounded the corners and added a few cloud diecuts. The girl gnome is cut out and attached to the scene. A simple sentiment is stamped onto the larger cloud.

Pretty Cute Stamps Monthly Challenge - Include a Ribbon

Today starts a new Pretty Cute Stamps Challenge! This month the challenge is to include a ribbon on you project.

 



I used to use ribbon on my cards a lot. However, I then moved to twine and then nothing. So to make sure I used ribbon on my project, the easiest thing for me to do is to make a tag.

 

 

I decided to use a fancy die to create the tag. I used the die on printed paper and plain cardstock. The two pieces are glued together. I used the Knit Happens stamp set and paper-pieced the image with a variety of papers. A simple sentiment is stamped on strips of paper and attached to the tag.

Pretty Cute Stamps Monthly Challenge Rules:

This month's theme is Love. So, create any thank you themed project using Pretty Cute Stamps. A Pretty Cute Stamp must be used to create the project.

Please link to your actual blog post...not to your blog.  If you don't have a blog, you can add a photo of your project to the current Monthly Challenge photo folder in the Pretty Cute Projects Facebook Group.

Today I am giving you are sneak peek at the new Work It stamp set:

 

 

 

There are so many different forms of exercises out there. I am in the middle of a weight loss journey myself (30lbs so far)! One thing I love to do is dance! Wherever, the shower, cleaning, cooking! So when I saw this cute bunny from the Work It set, I thought she looked like she was dancing. So I decided to create her as if she is doing a ballet pose. I simply colored her and stamped the words to form the border.
