Hi Pals! Kim, here, to share another card that I created using some of the beautiful new products available in the shop. Have you been enjoying the new release this week?
I had so much fun creating this bright cheerful card! I combined two of the new stamp sets to - You Are My Sunshine Stamp Set and Rainbow Dreams Stamp Set.
I used lots of masking along with coloring the images with my Copics, which allowed me to create a one-layer image.
I paired this with one of my favorite patterned papers, which is actually a Christmas paper, and I distressed the edges with a pair of scissors to add some texture to the card. I finished up with a fun bow, paired with a cloud brad in the center.
I hope this inspires you to do something crafty! I am waiting impatiently for summer to come, but for now, this will be my taste of Vitamin D!
Thanks so much for hanging out with me for a few minutes!
I absolutely LOVE the new Love You (CLR275) stamp set and coordinating Love You Die (PPRS-D275) set!
Check out my first pretty card I created with it:
I stamped the 'Love' and 'You' on pattern paper! I then die cut the words with the coordinating die set!!
I love that the 'o' in the word you is in the shape of a heart!!
I'll be back this weekend with another card using this awesome NEW set!!

a beautiful day!

Hey Y'all!!! It's day 4 of the new LOVE YOU release at Prickley Pear Stamps and I'm showcasing the LOVE YOU stamp set and die. So sweet. Love makes the world go around, right? Be sure to check out the fun stamp sets and dies at Prickley Pear! All the details for making this card yourself are below (including links).
I started by printing the LOVE YOU letters on Neenah Classic Crest Solar White paper and coloring them with Copic markers.
The card base is from Melon Mambo and the measurements are 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4" on the long side. Make sure you use your bone folder and burnish the fold well so it doesn't tear the fold.
The layer on top of the Melon Mambo is Basic White. It's cut to 5 3/8" x 4 1/8". Obviously you can make it whatever size make you happy. It's glued to the card base with wet glue. On top of the basic white is a piece of turquoise card stock cut to 5 1/4" x 4". I rounded the edges of both the white and turquoise paper with a corner rounder.
I cut a piece of Basic White card stock 5" x 3 7/8" and rounded the corners. I used the Speckled Heart stencil and Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide Ink to create a beautiful background that matched all the card stock and inks.
I popped up the letters with foam tape and made sure they were closer to the lower right corner so I would have room for some sort of embellishment.
Using Fabri-Tac I glued some beautiful flowers & leaves to the upper right corner. Don't you love to get flowers from someone who loves you?
And of course I added some Stickles because who doesn't love something sparkly.
Hi crafty friends! I hope you have been having a good weekend! I am so happy to be sharing another card that I made using the new Love You Stamp Set!
To create this card, I stepped WAY outside of my comfort zone in several ways. I knew that I wanted to use a teal, purple and pink color palette, but I felt that it needed a color that would really make it pop, so I pulled out my color wheel to find a complimentary color and came up with yellow green.
I also created a mask, which is something I rarely do; however, I wanted the "You" to be in front of the love. I recently saw that someone uses full sticky notes to create masks. I didn't even know that was a thing, but I found them on Amazon. I did need to pair two of them together to make it large enough; however, because the entire surface is sticky, it worked like a dream.
I stamped my image on the sticky notes, and I cut it out using a pair of snips. I even cut out the center of the heart. I then stamped the "You" on my card panel where I wanted it and placed the mask right over it. When masking, you always start with the image that you want in front, and mask it, then stamp what you want in the background. I stamped the "Love" image right over the top of the mask. When I peeled the mask away, I had the perfect image. Best part is that I put the mask in with my stamps and can re-use it again.
I colored the image using my Copic markers, and I added some accents (stripes) with a white gel pen. to add the yellow-green effect, I scribbled with my Copic marker on my glass mat and picked it up with a water brush filled with 99% rubbing alcohol (or you can use blending solution). I applied the color right next to the image and as it began to dilute, I dragged it outwards, giving the panel a light color wash. I just learned this technique at boot camp, and I have to admit it is a ton of fun.
I paired some purple card stock with a teal patterned paper, which I distressed the edges of. I adhered all of my panels together and attached them to the card base. To complete the card, I added a paper flower to a loopy bow using my glue gun and added some rose colored rhinestones.
I have to say that I am in love with this stamp set. It is so versatile, and incredibly fun to color up and create with! Make sure to head to the shop and check it out! It is available as just the stamp set, coordinating dies, or in a bundle that includes both. You will save $5 by purchasing the bundle!
Thanks so much for hanging out with me! I hope you have been inspired to try something new!
Xoxo, Kim
