Happy New Year to one and all!  This is my first post as Design Team Member for Happy Little Stampers Anything Goes with Dies.  This card is also the one I am using for my “Shake it Up” shaker card class at one of our little cardmaking groups in the town I live in.

The Shaker inserts, stamps and dies are all My Favorite Things.  I LOVE these shakers and sentiments!

Cheers to You Shaker Card

The background was created using Newton’s Nook Bubbly stencil and sponging on Squeezed Lemonade and Twisted Citron Distress Inks.  The glasses were shaded lightly with Hickory Smoke Distress Ink.  This set is so versatile, you can use the dies just simply for the single dimensional aspect or the shaker aspect.  I used for both on this card.  The Shaker inserts are simple to use, just be sure to use strong adhesive.  The Shaker elements are from Kat Scrappiness, I absolutely LOVE her online shop and her custom mixes of shaker elements.  The tiny ice cube shaker elements are from My Favorite Things.

Here is a second birthday card I created with these die and stamp sets.  This second card I used Studio Katia Birthday Balloons Duo stencils with Picked Raspberry, Wilted Violet and Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide Inks.

I hope you enjoyed the cards today.  Please head on over to Happy Little Stampers by clicking Here  Please follow our blog by clicking on the “Follow Me” button and Like us on Facebook and follow us on Instagram so you don’t miss a thing. Thanks for visiting!

What’s Up Dog – Cute Critters Challenge Theme

Creative With Stamps Challenge, My Favorite Things

What’s Up?  Today at Creative With Stamps Challenge Blog we have come up with inspiration using the theme of Cute Animals…and in my book, there is no cuter animal than a dog.  🙂

I used the Lucky Dog stamp set from My Favorite Things.  I colored the pup with alcohol markers and die cut both the pieces (I love this particular dog, because he can be peeking over a fence or out a window or just about anything where you can see his front and back).  I wanted to add some patterned paper to the inside-front to make it look like wallpaper.

On the front panel I embossed red cardstock to give the appearance of a brick home, I die cut out a small window and popped his little head there to peek out, as you can see he has dropped his ball in the grass below.  😦

Just a super simple and fun card for a friend’s birthday.  Please follow the link Here to the Creative With Stamps blog so you can play along with our challenge, remember you can enter anything with a cute animal and there are prizes!

Distress Inks, MFT, My Favorite Things, ShinHan

Aloha!  I just love anything tropical…Palm trees, parrots, ocean breezes…I could go on and on, so to say I was super excited about My Favorite Things new release last week that included A LOT of tropical themed stamp sets and dies.  I could hardly wait to start using Polynesian Paradise stamps and dies.  I made a card using the hula girl, chameleon, turtle and various flowers.  I used my ShinHan alcohol markers to color them in.  I used cream card stock and distressed it with Distress Tea Dye ink, then stenciled it with the new MFT Wonky Chevron stencil using Distress Walnut Stain ink and distressed the faux wooden sign as well.  I then cut the palm tree trunk.  I die cut the palm leaves using a KwiKutz floral die.  I also used the Wonky Chevron stencil on the background using Distress Tumbled Glass ink.  I popped up the hula girl, turtle and chameleon with pop dots and voila!
