HB2U Monster Card

 Hi everyone!  I am up on the Pawsome Stamps blog today with this card I created using items from the new release, and this adorable monster from the Monster Party Stamp Set.  I just love him!  

To start this card I die cut a piece of smooth white cardstock and used the new Happy Birthday Stencil with Distress Oxide Inks Squeezed Lemonade and Salvaged Patina to create a bright and fun background for my monster!  I then splattered the background with gold watercolor paint and set it aside to dry.  

Next, I used the new Birthday Balloons Stencil with Distress Oxide Inks Squeezed Lemonade, Mustard Seed, and a touch of Spiced Marmalade.  I fussy cut the balloon out, and stamped the "HB2U" sentiment from the new XL Birthday Greetings Stamp Set onto the balloon in black pigment ink.  

I stamped out this super cute monster from the Monster Party Stamp Set, colored him with Copic markers, and cut him out using the coordinating die set.  

I assembled my card using teal cardstock for the base, and foam tape to pop up the balloon and monster for some dimension!  I used teal and white twine to create a ribbon so the monster could be holding the balloon!  

For finishing touches on this card I added accents with a white gel pen, glossy accents, glitter to the monster's spots, and a few sparkling sequins from the new Mint Chip Sequin Mix!  I hope you enjoyed my card today.  Head on over to the Pawsome Stamps online shop to check out the new May Release! 

Inky Paws Challenge #174 - Reminder Post

  Hi everybody!  This is an Inky Paws Challenge reminder post!  This is Inky Paws Challenge #174 - Sketch Challenge.  You have until Friday, June 3rd to get your entries in and have a chance to win a $20 store credit to Newton's Nook Designs online shop!

To start this card I cut a piece of paw print patterned paper from the new A Dog's Life Paper Pad to A2 size.  I then cut a piece of paper with the words "bark" and "woof," and some hearts to 4 1/4" x 1 1/2", and a piece of bone patterned paper to 4 1/4" x 1/2", all from the same paper pad.  I then cut a piece of pink textured cardstock using the Heart Frames Die Set. 

Next, I used the brand new, and gorgeous, Dog Silhouette Die Set to cut this cute little pup out of black velvet paper, and I just had to give him a red glitter collar! 

Since I used patterned paper with wording, I decided to have the wording act as my sentiment, and not add in a separate one.    

I assembled my card adhering all the layers together, and used foam tape to pop up the heart for some dimension.  I used pink and white twine for the bow.  

For finishing touches on this card I added a few sparkling sequins!  Now it's time to get your paws inky creating a project for the Sketch Challenge using your Newton's Nook Designs products.  Be sure to link up to the Inky Paws Challenge!  Hope to see you there!

 Hi everyone!  Today I am sharing a card I created using the beautiful Spring Coffee Stamp Set and the Mesh - Optical Illusion Stencil by The Rabbit Hole Designs!

To start this card I die cut a piece of smooth white cardstock and dry embossed the Mesh - Optical Illusion Stencil onto it by running it through my die cutting machine a few times.  It is difficult to see the embossed background in the pictures, but it looks great in person!  I then splattered the background with watercolor paint and set it aside to dry.

Next, I stamped and white heat embossed the absolutely gorgeous Spring Coffee image onto smooth white cardstock, colored it with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers, and fussy cut it out.

I die cut a gray fishtail banner, stamped the sentiment, which is from the Thanks - Scripty Stamp Set, onto the banner, and white heat embossed.  

I assembled my card using gray cardstock for the base, and foam tape to pop up the image and sentiment banner for some dimension!

For finishing touches on this card I added a few sparkling sequins!  Thank you and I hope you enjoyed my card today!
