Revisiting “Tiny Flags”

Happy Monday! I had so much fun using the Tiny Flags background stamp in this post that I decided to make some more cards with it. 🙂

For my first card, I paired a clear-embossed background with a die cut from the My Favorite Things “Celebrate” set for a black-and-white card.

Following the double-stamping technique shown by Jennifer McGuire with the Tiny Flags stamp in this post, I created another card pairing a double-stamped background and another die cut from the MFT set. I used a Stamp-a-ma-Jig to help line up the stamp when I shifted it for the second impression.

Poppystamps New Release: Yee-Haw!

Today, I’m sharing another card created with dies from the new Poppystamps release.

Poppystamps New Release: Yee-Haw!I wanted to create a masculine birthday card with the Galloping Stallion as the focus. I used the Happy Birthday die for a tone-on-tone background. The “yee-haw” sentiment was created on my computer. I die-cut the Superstar Border several times to create a few accent stars.

Supplies: Poppystamps Galloping Stallion 996, Happy Birthday Background 990, Superstar Border 912

Penny Black Valentine’s Day Card

There’s been some wonderful inspiration over on the Penny Black Blog using the latest release Sending Hugs. In fact, Penny Black is holding a Sending Hugs challenge – read all about it here.

Today, I’m sharing a card using three stamp sets from the release – ooh la la [30-210], from the heart [30-207] and rose edging [30-206].

I stamped one of the images from  rose edging twice on the card base. On a rectangular panel, I stamped and Copic-colored an image from ooh la la, combining it with a die-cut heart which was heat embossed with a sentiment from the from the heart set. I finished the card off with a white ribbon bow.

Poppystamps New Release: Congrats!

This week and next, the Poppystamps Design Team is showing off the new Poppystamps release with a Blog Blitz. Today, I’m sharing a card created with one of the new Memory Box stencils, combining it with die cuts from Poppystamps, including the new Barnyard Rooster.

Poppystamps New Release: Congrats!I dry-embossed the stencil and used its reverse side as a background on my card to simulate chicken coop wire. I created the “Congrats!” sentiment on my computer. The inside sentiment reads “That’s something to crow about!”
