Throughout the blog hop, the design team members will be showing off the new February release now available in the Pretty Cute Stamps store.  I am showcasing the new Fitness Planner set:
 

I have tried to maintain a planner, but am still trying to get the concept down. However, my family has a magnetic calendar in command center. So I decided to make little magnets using the Fitness Planner set.

 

 

These are simple magnets to make. I stamped the different exercises onto strips of cardstock. I cut a magnetic strip into small pieces and attached to the back of the cardstock. Simple as that!!

Now, let's talk about a prize:

Joy Clair - He Has Risen

Hello, Joy Clair friends!  I am excited to be sharing one of my latest Joy Clair projects with you today! Joy Clair released 8 stamp sets this week and are all currently on sale. You can check out the new release HERE!

 

Today, I am working with the new set, He has Risen, from the Color by Faith series.



Here is the bible journaling page using this inspiring stamp set:

 

 

I stamped the cross onto cardstock and colored with a variety of markers. The cross is cut out and set aside. I used gelatos and the baby wipe technique to create the background on the page. The face of Jesus stamp is stamped in a light ink onto the gelatos background. To add a little more to the page, I added a few cloud diecuts. The cross is added to the page.

Sweet Thoughts of You

Happy Saturday, Pink & Main friends! Sorry for the late post today. It has been a beautiful day here in Texas. After spending hours doing yard work and going to baseball practice, I lost track of my day! So I here I am posting this 'Sweet" card to end the day.

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

 

 I am in love with the new word stamps/dies from the January release. And there are more to come! On this card, I want to highlight the word die by using the matching shadow die. The sentiment is finished with the stamped word. I used a variety of printed papers to create the card. Once the sentiment is put together, I added a few wooden hearts to finish the card!

 

Thank you for stopping by today! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Love Always & Forever

Happy Saturday, Pink & Main friends! Valentine's Day is next weekend...can you believe that?!? Pink & Main has some super cute word dies that fit perfectly with the holiday. So I am sharing a project with you today using the word die and the coordinating stamp set.

 

 

 

My task for the last week or so is purging/cleaning my craft area. During this process, I came across the glitter moon in the scrap pile. I thought it would be cute to use it on a card with a couple of birds in front of it. Then I remembered the birds from the Pink & Main Sweet Pair stamp set. I The birds are colored in with a variety of markers and cut out. The scene is put together with the 'starry' printed paper. The sentiment begins with the 'LOVE' word die and the rest is from the True Love stamp set. At first, I thought this would finish the card, but I felt the card needed a little extra of something. I decided to add a few heart diecuts.

 

Did you see this month's Pink & Main Challenge? It is all about LOVE! You can check out the details or submit your entry, HERE!

 

Thank you for stopping by today! Have a wonderful weekend! I am off to do some yard work today!

Hugs & Kisses Gift Tag

Hello, DCWV friends! It is Jessi from the DCWV Social Media Design Team! Can you believe that it is already February?!? Where did January go? With that being said, Valentine's Day is right around the corner!

 

I am one who waits to the end of a deadline to get things done. It is a bad quality I have, but I do think sometimes it is some of my best work. With that being said, I also wait to the last minute to buy gifts and things. Which means last-minute wrapping happens as well!

I found some beautiful gold/red/kraft chipboard tags that would be perfect for those Valentine's gifts. They just needed some extra bling before they are ready to be added to the gift! So I dug out some gold foil cardstock from my scraps and got to work!

 

Back in December, when I was working on my Daily December albums using the DCWV DIY Project Holiday Favor Boxes stack, I saved all my scraps, especially the gold cardstock! I knew that the gold would come in handy when I needed to add some bling to a project. I took the scrap and ran it through the die machine to create the word embellishment to add to the tag.

 



 

I wanted to extended the sentiment, so I stamped and embossed the rest onto DCWV black cardstock. The card was cut into a strip, embossed and attached to the tag. I cut the end to hang over the edge of the tag. The word 'hugs' is glued overlapping part of the black strip. The final touch for the tag was to add a simple mirrored heart embellishment from the DCWV Mini Adhesive Mirrors packet.

 

 

Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you have a wonderful!

Robot Birthday Card

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 BOTday stamp set!

 

 

One of my resolutions for the new year is to use the supplies that I have. So I found some scrap paper and decided to create a boy's birthday card with it. I brought out the fun BOTday stamp set and stamped one of the robot images onto white cardstock. The image is colored in using some colors from the printed papers. The robot is added to the card and the fun sentiment is stamped on the bottom of the card.

 

Thank you for stopping by today!

Happy Saturday, Pink & Main friends! I know that Easter is still a few weeks away, but I am trying to be ahead of schedule. Part of the January release includes stamp sets for couple different holidays. If you have not had the chance to look at the stamp sets, please check it out HERE!

 Today, I am working with the Easter Peeps stamp set.

 

   

 

I stamped the cute chick image a few times and colored the images to match the printed paper. The chicks are cut out and set aside. I used two different prints to form the card front. The sentiment is stamped onto a cutout banner. The chicks are attached to the card and the card is finished.

Joy Clair - Song of Solomon Card

 Hello, Joy Clair friends! It is Jessi from Kissin' Krafts. I am excited to be sharing one of my latest Joy Clair projects with you today!

 

As you may know, Joy Clair has started a new line of Bible Journaling stamps, Color by Faith. These stamps are full of amazing images that are perfect for bible pages and even cards!

 

Today, I am working with the new set, Song of Solomon.

 

 

 

Here is the card I made using this fun stamp set:

 

 

I used the heart outline stamped in the center with red ink. On a piece of black cardstock, I stamped the "Mr. & Mrs." and banner stamps using white ink and embossed in white as well. Once the images were dried, I cut the banner out and attached on top of the heart outline. The simple sentiment "Congratulations" from the Many Blessings stamp set is stamped at the bottom of the panel. The white panel is attached to a black mat. The mat is attached to a printed card-base.

LOVE Burlap Banner

Hello, DCWV friends! It is Jessi from the DCWV Social Network design team. Can you believe that Valentine's Day is less than one month away! Perfect timing to bring out the Valentine's Day décor!

 

I have a fireplace mantel that I leave the same décor on it year round. However, this past Thanksgiving, I decided to decorate it for the fall. I had so much fun switching the décor from fall to winter and have been looking forward to doing something different for Valentine's Day.

 

Recently, I received some new product available, Gold Threaded Burlap, at Hobby Lobby stores. One stack was of burlap paper that included strand of gold throughout the burlap. I knew right away, I wanted to make a banner with it! So I trimmed the sheet to make the banner pendants. Time to gather up the supplies!

 

 

Next thing to do is to paint the letters using stencils.

 

 

To help bring out the gold touches, I wanted to added additional gold to the banner. Using DCWV Foil cardstock, I punched out hearts and created these doilies to be placed in between the pendants. After the paint dried, I punched holes in the top corners of the pendants. (These will be where you where string the pendants together.

 

 

To piece the banner together, fold the doilies in half and glue with the twine in the crease. Place one the first pendant of the banner and attach another doily. Repeat until the banner is complete!

 

 

Thank you for stopping by today! Be sure to keep visiting! There are some amazing things in work at DCWV! We cannot wait to share them with you!

All You Need Is Love

Happy Saturday, Pink & Main friends! I just got back from the CHA show and I had a blast! I even got to meet the sweet Pink & Main boss, Michelle, in person! She is amazing!

Have you seen the new January release? It is full of super fun images and a variety of stamp sets, including some fun word sets. The fun thing about the word sets...they come with their own matching word dies...INCLUDING a shadow die!!!

 Today, I am working with the True Love stamp set.

   

I LOVE the kraft, red and white color combination. I wanted to give it a try on a Valentine card. When I saw the True Love stamp set, I knew this would be the perfect one to use the combo on. I gathered a few heart stamps from other Pink & Main stamp sets and stamped then in white, pink, and red inks. I wanted it to look like the hearts were falling, so I stamped the larger ones at the top and moved to the smaller hearts towards the bottom. I stamped the LOVE sentiment in white ink in the bottom right corner. It was a very simple card to create. Just be careful on stamping the hearts and not smear the ink from another heart.

 

Please continue to stop by the Pink & Main blog to see the January Release!

Today, I am sharing a card I made using the new Sweet Dreams Baby stamp set.

  

 

 

 

This boy on the moon image is too adorable! I wanted to make sure it was the star of the card. I used a few different markers to color in the image. Once the image is colored, I cut it out.
