Hoppy Easter

Happy Friday, MarkerPOP friends! Can you believe that today is the last day of March? Bring on April! So when someone mentions the month of April, I usually think of flowers and bunnies. So let's get to work with some bunnies.

Today, I am working with the Lawn Fawn's Hoppy Easter stamp set and Chameleon markers:

To create the background for the card, I used a few different prints from the Doodlebug's Hello Sunshine 6x6 paper pad. The hill is formed using a stitched wave die. The two printed are attached to the cardbase.

The bunnies are stamped onto white cardstock, along with the carrot, egg and basket. All images are colored in with a variety of Chameleon markers. The images are then cut out with their coordinating dies. The bunnies are attached on the hill. The egg, carrot, and basket are attached to the bunnies as if they are holding the items. A simple sentiment is stamped onto a orange printed paper and attached to the top of the card.

Please hop on other to the MarkerPOP blog for the list of supplies used on today's card.

Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day.

Welcome Little One - girl

Hello, Pink & Main friends! I love making baby cards, but don't have the opportunity to make them too often. I recently found out that I will be an aunt again and am excited to hold that baby in my arms. But sadly, I have to wait a few more months!

Today's project uses an older Pink & Main set, Little Ones. In the November Release, the coordinating dies for Little Ones were included.

To create this square card, I used the new Stitched Rounded square dies. I also used the same dies to create the frame. The elephant image from Little Ones is stamped and colored on white cardstock. The image is cut out using the coordinating dies. For the sentiment, I used the fancy frame die from the Little Ones collection and stamped 'Welcome' on it. The rest of the sentiment is stamped onto the frame.

The elephant image can be used on a boy card, by replacing the pinks with blues!

Thank you for stopping by today! Have a great one!

Pink & Main's Christmas Script

Hello, Pink & Main friends! I have been working on Christmas cards for the last few weeks and I love creating them using non-traditional colors!

Today, I am working with the new Christmas Script stamp set and coordinating die.

I started off by picking a 6x6 paper pad that was full of awesome prints. The entire pad was full of non-traditional prints, so it super easy to mix 'n' match the prints. Using one print, I covered the card base by attaching the paper with tape. I cut out a printed strip to place across the card. I wanted to use this strip to highlight the sentiment of the card. I had a glitter paper that matched the prints. I used the glitter paper with the 'Merry Christmas' word die. The words are attached on top of the printed strip. I wanted to add a little more to the sentiment, so I stamped the rest on a different striped print and added to the card. To fill in some of the empty space, I used a punched out star.

Do you love to play along with card challenges?

We would love for you to hop on over to the Pink & Main Challenge blog and join in this month's challenge! Cannot wait to see your creations!!!

Joy Clair October Challenge

It is October 1st! And what does that mean? Today starts a new Joy Clair Challenge! This month's inspirational photo is below. You can be inspired by the photo, the colors or both! 

For this challenge, I was inspired by the colors. To be honest, I am tired of fall leaves. Here in Texas, we don't get the pretty color changes. They go from green to brown pretty quickly.

I am using Joy Clair's Dream Big and Everyday Sentiments for today's card:

I stamped the dreamcatcher image in a navy ink. The feathers are stamped in a rosy pink, light blue and yellow inks. I used the same colors to fill in the beads inside the dreamcatcher. The dotted string is actually from the Bible Planner stamp set. I taped off the part that I needed and inked the rest. The dreamcatcher is cut out on a stitched rectangle die and attached to the front of a card base. The simple sentiment stamped in the same navy blue at the bottom of the card.

Now it is your turn to play along!

Zombies Halloween

Hello, Pink & Main friends! Who is exciting for the fall and upcoming Halloween? I actually bought my daughter's costume yesterday! Much earlier than I normally do. Now just need to get the boys taken care of!

With Halloween in mind, I decided to work with the super cute, but creepy, Zombies stamp set and coordinating dies.

I paired up the zombie image with some Halloween theme printed paper. The girl zombie is stamped onto the cardstock and colored in with markers. The image is cut out using the coordinating dies. To create the scene, I used the Scalloped Waves dies to form the hilly background. The diecut house is attached in front of the starry sky. A simple sentiment is stamped onto a orange print and attached at the card.

Pink & Main's Santa Paws

Happy Saturday, Pink & Main friends! Is it wrong to think of snow when it feels like 100 degrees outside? I could really use a break from this HOT summer heat! 

Today, I am working the super cute Santa Paws stamp set and coordinating dies.

I decided to create a gift tag using the super adorable dog and snowman image. I stamped the image in black and colored it in with a variety of markers. The image is then cut out using the coordinating die. The banner image is completed in the same process. The tag is create using a die. The snowy ground is made using the Pink & Main Scalloped Waves die. The tag is finished off with some colorful twine.

Let It Snow Snow Globe

Happy Saturday, Pink & Main friends! I am loving the new Pink & Main release. Definitely getting ready for the holidays! Part of the release includes new stamps and dies, but some of the release includes dies for older stamp sets. 

Today, I am working with the new coordinating dies for the older Snow Globe stamp set.

I used the Stitched Rounded Rectangle dies to create the white frame. I created the snow globe scene using the Snow Globe stamp set and coordinating dies. The snow globe is attached onto a fun print inside the white frame. The frame is then attached to the snowflake print. A sentiment is stamped below the snow globe.

Wishing You Clear Skies

Hello, everyone! It is Jessi here today! I am showcasing a super cute My Favorite Things stamp set, Sweet Forest Friends and coordinating dies and a variety of Chameleon markers and distress inks.

I love making scene cards that take up the entire card. However, I am switching it up today and creating a spotlight scene. To start off, I made an oval diecut out of watercolor paper. I blended two shades of distress ink, Peacock Feathers and Chipped Sapphire to create the sky on the oval. Once the blending was complete, I added a few drops of water. After letting the water soak for a few seconds, I soaked up the water with a paper towel. I created the bottom part of the oval by using a grass border die.  I used a cloud and a moon die to finish off the scene.

I paired up the scene with a few print papers from the 6x6 Pink Paislee Cedar Lane paper pad. I used rectangle dies to create the frame. And a pendant die for the sentiment.

Stop by my MarkerPop post for the list of supplies used on this card!

Pink & Main Wild About You

Happy Saturday, Pink & Main friends! Sorry this post is arriving late this afternoon. I have been under the weather since Wednesday. Hoping things are starting to look up for the better!

Today, I am working with the super adorable Wild About You stamp set and coordinating dies.

I absolutely love this set! The animals a so cute. When I first saw this fox, I immediately thought of a night scene. So I started off making a watercolor night sky. I wasn't too happy with how it came out, so I decided to cut a circle out of a portion of the panel. I then ran the circle with a star die. The fox image is stamped in black and colored in with a variety of markers. The fox image is cut out using the coordinating dies. I paired up the die cuts with some boho printed papers. The sentiment is stamped on a diecut banner.

Let's Party WILD

Hello, everyone! It is Jessi here today. I love making CAS (Clean and Simple) cards. They are super easy cards to create. Another thing I love... stamps that have coordinating dies! They also make card-making easy!

Today, I am pairing up my favorite style with some of my favorite supplies! Avery Elle's Wild Birthday stamps and coordinating dies and a variety of Chameleon markers.

I started this card with a blank white 3.75in x 5in cardstock panel. The banner stamp is done at an angle to make it look like it was hanging off trees. The letters from the stamp set were stamped onto the pendants to spell PARTY. The banner image is colored in using a variety of blues and greens.

The animals are stamped onto white cardstock and cut out using the coordinating dies. The animals are colored in with markers. Before the animals are attached to the panel, I used the Pink & Main's Scalloped Waves dies to create the green grass background and attached it at the bottom of the panel. The animals are attached using tape adhesive and a foam dot. The panel is attached to a Lawn Fawn Scalloped Rectangles diecut and is mounted onto the card front.

Beware if ZOMBIES!!!

Happy Saturday, Pink & Main friends! Who is ready for Halloween? The decorations are starting to show up in the stores and Pink & Main's new Halloween sets are now available!

Today, I am working with the Zombies stamp set and the coordinating dies.

I paired up the Zombie's boy zombie with some fun Halloween printed papers. The zombie image is stamped with black ink and colored in with a variety of Peerless Watercolors. The image is cut out using the dies and attached to the card. The fun phrase is stamped onto to printed paper. I thought the card needed a little something extra, so I stamped 3 skulls and used the coordinating dies on them. They were added randomly onto the card.

Pink & Main's Magical Unicorns & Coordinating Dies

Happy Saturday, Pink & Main friends! Who is loving the newest Pink & Main release?
I know that I am!

Today, I am working with the Magical Unicorns stamp set. This stamp set was released a few months back, but the coordinating dies were released this week.

The idea for this card started with the background print. The print includes a few small moons, so I decided to make a larger one for the center of the card. I stamped the unicorn image and colored it in with a variety of markers. The horn on the unicorn is colored in with a glitter pen. The image is cut out using the coordinating die. The card needed a little more, so I used the star die from the set and added a few around the card. The sentiment is stamped onto the card.

Happy Saturday, Pink & Main friends! Fall is around the corner! At least that is what I keep telling myself! Anything to deal with this HEAT!!! Sigh...

Pink & Main's August release will be available on the 10th! The design team has been sharing some sneak peeks. Today, I am working with the Sunflowers stamp set. This stamp set will also have coordinating dies available.

I really wanted to highlight the awesome sunflower in the Sunflower stamp set. I used a variety of fall colors to color in the images for this card. I used the coordinating dies to cut out the images. I used the Rounded Rectangles Dies to create a frame to highlight the sunflower.

The adorable bear is attached with foam dots on the corner of the frame. The simple sentiment is stamped towards the bottom of the card. Such a easy and fun card to create!

Pink & Main Sneak Peek = Wild About You

Happy Saturday, Pink & Main friends! Can you believe that July is almost over?!? Before we know it, August will be here and then Back to School will be upon us! (Yes, I am counting down the days until my kiddos go back to school...24!

Today, I am giving you a sneak peek at one of Pink & Main's August release stamp sets, Wild About You. It has some adorable animals in the set and I am giving you a look at the precious bear.

I stamped the bear image onto a printed paper and colored in with a variety of markers. This new stamp set also has coordinating dies to match, making it super easy to cut out the stamped images.

I paired up a printed pocket page from a paper stack with a coordinated print and attached to the front of a card base. The sentiment is stamped on the pocket page. The bear is attached to the card.

This is where I planned to stop the card, however, it felt like it was missing something. I colored the 'c' in with a matching blue marker. Three enamel dots are attached to help fill in some of the white space.

Happy Saturday, Pink & Main friends! Who loves summer? Me personally...not my favorite! It is WAY to hot and sticky here in Texas. However, I do love the summer treats! Ice cream and snowcones are my favorite! So I fell in love with the new Pink & Main's So Cool stamp set!

I have been craving a snowcone lately, so I was inspired to use this set and here is the creation that I came up with:

I stamped the penguin image onto white cardstock and colored in the snowcone with a light pink marker. I used a darker pink and speckled the top of the cone. I felt it needed a little more, so I added some speckles of white gel pen ink. The image is cut out and set aside. I used the Pink & Main's Stitched Rounded Rectangle Dies and Scallop Waves Dies to create the scene background. I added a few cloud diecuts and a sun diecut (from the Warm Holidays Coordinating Dies). For the sentiment, I used the word die 'hello' in two colors and attached slightly offline. To finish the sentiment, I stamped 'sunshine' on the bottom right corner.

Pink & Main's Oh, Crab

Happy Saturday, Pink & Main friends! It is a holiday weekend here in the states. Lots of BBQs and going to the beach. No beach visits for us, due to the weather here in Texas, but I believe we have 3 different cook outs happening this weekend!

Pink and Main's Oh, Crab stamp set is perfect for the summer season!

 I found some fun summery prints and decided to create a scenery card. I placed the prints together and decided to stamp and color in the image. As I attached the crab to the card, I saw that it looked like the ball was drifting away in the water. The sentiment "hope to sea you soon" fits perfectly!

Celebrate and Rejoice!

May is my birthday month! Even though the day was a few weeks ago, I am still celebrating!

 

I am Facebook friends with the talented Savannah O'Gwynn and she was super nice to leave me birthday wishes on my special day! In her message, she included a bible versus. What she didn't know, is that verse is in one of my favorite hymns. So I knew I needed to make a bible journaling page!

 

Savannah works with Paper Smooches, so I wanted to try to include some of their stamps on the page. I play along with their challenges when I get a free moment, so I went to see what the current challenge was and it is RAINBOWS! I knew there would be a way to incorporate all this into a page.

Here is what I came up with!

 

I love the clean and simple look, so I decided to use Paper Smooches Balloons Dies with papers from the colors of the rainbows. A fun sentiment is stamped towards the page. I also included the "Happy Birthday" stamp to complete the sentiment.

 

Thank you for stopping by today! Have a wonderful day!
