Sentiments

Icons

Alphabet

I absolutely LOVE this set!  I think it's so cute and whimsical!

Here's the first project with this set - I know there will be many more  :-)

The card base is 5" x 5" in black cardstock.  Then I cut a piece of white daisy 4 7/8" x 4 7/8".  I used the small flower from the You Are My Happy icon stamp sheet to create a background with black ink.  Next there is a black mat cut 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" and a white mat cut 3 3/8" x 3 3/8".  On this white mat I used the Washi Wonder stamp set.

This is another new set and is exclusive to Hostesses!  Check out this video for the great new Hostess Rewards you can earn ~ Amazing new stamps with even more amazing prices!!  Contact me with any questions and how you can earn these for yourself!!

Back to the card ~ The smallest square has a black mat 2 1/4" x 2 1/4" and a yellow mat 2" x 2".  I stamped the sentiment Hugs Kisses and Best Wishes from the You are My Happy stamp set in black.  I then stamped the adorable butterfly from the You are My Happy icon sheet, fussy cut and adhered only the center so I could slightly lift the wings.  The inspiration for this card came from a sketch over at Jo's Scrap Shack this week.

For the inside I just layered the mats and left it blank for now.  Yellow mat is 4 1/2" x 4 1/2", black mat is 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" and the white mat is 3" x 3".

I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend!  My husband picked up a bicycle for me yesterday.  He and my son have been going on bike rides together for the last couple weeks and now I can join them!  So excited for that!!

Sock Monkey

Good Morning!  I hope you all are having a fabulous week!  I have a really cute card to share with you today.  I started with a sketch I found online this weekend.

Crazy 4 Challenges

This sketch is a little out of my comfort zone, but I had fun with it!

The card is 5x5.  I used cream cardstock for the base, layered with kraft cardstock 1/8" smaller and inked the edges with Tim Holtz walnut distress ink.  All the pattern papers are from a DCWV stack called The Kidlet stack and I used a dark brown cardstock for matting and the pennant.  The sock monkey and the scallop border were both fussy cut from papers in the stack.  I wanted red gems for the border but didn't have enough, so I used red glitter glue on the border instead.  The letters are DIYthickers that I added red glitter to.  I adhered them to the dark brown cardstock and cut around them for a slight shadow so they would stand out from the background a little better.

I like to have blank notecards around for various things so I left this one blank for now.

Have a great day!!
