 I made this card using our White Pigment ink and stamped the dots onto black cardstock.

 Here you can see the dots better on the black, I loved how it's uneven the saturation.

Also, I did a second generation Desert Sand Ink stamping on the white behind the LaBelle Vie Mauve Cardstock. I edged the card in the Desert Sand ink as well.

 I stamped the bike 4 times, one after the other without refilling on ink to get the look of movement. I added 2 Bitty Sparkles in the Lightest Green to the tires.

I thought the zig zag stamp made a great tire track for the inside of the card!  

Now hop on over to Krista's Blog for some more wonderful ideas with this stamp set!

Thanks for looking!

New Product Blog Hop!

 Today we are showing off some of the new products early!  The new catty goes live February 1st!

If you came here from Haley's blog, you are on the right track, if not, keep hopping and you will make a complete circle. I am showing off the new paper called LUCY!  It's Blush, Grey Wool, Creme Brulee, and Sweet Leaf!  I did this layout of my daughter and her new friend!

 She loves the frogs!  Can't keep her away from them and we are by a lake so they are everywhere!

 

This layout is found in the Magic Book we sell!  It comes with a CD with templates for all the odd shaped pieces.  See above, I printed out the half circle, the 3 inch circle and the oval. (I left oval off) I put the 1/2 circle onto Blush Cardstock and cut around the template. I thought about my program Make The Cut and how it imports PDF files, so I did that too - see below:

 I used the shapes to determine the size of the letters and then cut the words!

 Here is a close up on the FROG

 The picture has a hidden pull out journaling card.  

The Magic book shows you how to add moving and hidden things to your pages.

 My next project was a card.  I random stamped a new stamp set called Card Word Puzzle - goes great with Pemberley Paper!!!  I cut the butterfly out of the Pemberly B&T Paper, added some Sparkles and raised the wings!

 The flowers are stamped with Outdoor Denim. I took my blending pen and rubbed it on the Outdoor Denim ink pad. Wiped most of the ink off onto a scrap piece and with the little bit left on the pen I ran it around the edges of the flower and created my own B&T paper!

I used the blending pen and Honey Ink to do the inside of the flowers.

Oops, forgot to draw the antennas back on with marker!

 Inside I stamped the butterfly this time and colored it the same way with Honey Ink.  

I used bitty brads for the body.

Sorry so many pictures - thanks for looking.

January Stamp Of The Month Blog Hop - Little Reminder

Hopping into a New Year and another great Stamp of the Month Blog Hop!

You should be coming from Lisa's Blog if not, keep hopping and you will do a complete circle!

This month's stamp set is called Little Reminders - Very Cute!

 

Remember, that red circle around the stamps works with our Cricut Cartridge!

I did a layout this month and used this stamp set to note the date of the event:

The Left side above and the Right side below - I used Believe Paper Pack.

 I put the numbers inside of the circle stamp.  I used a period from a font set to make the December have a red circle on it. The "6" is circled with a stamp from another shape set - you can do it with a pen or marker, but when I did it the first time, I didn't like it.

 Here's a close up. The Year is also from this stamp set - love the fun shapes of the numbers.

 I used our matching Stickease to add rain deer and elves to the layout.  

I took red embroidery floss to link the deer.  I glued the floss down using Glitter Glue

These presents were fun to do.  They are from the Believe Workshop on the Go Stamp Set.  I stamped the outline of the ribbon and the present in Stazon Black Ink, then I stamped the center of the ribbon and the bow with Crystal Blue Ink - they are all separate stamps (4 total). I took my Holiday Red Marker and colored in the body of the presents - super easy and fast!

Here is another Stickease elf that I placed half onto the photo.

Ok, that layout with this stamp set was too easy, so I decided to make a card too:

 Here is the front of the card above.  I stamped 19 for the date.

January 19th is my Niece's Birthday so I'm ahead of the game this year!
Over achiever! (There's a Sparkle under JAN to add attention to the circle.)

The double circle is from a cool Pendant Stamp Set - let's play a game - what's the stamp set? 

Leave a comment with your guess.

 Inside on a separate piece of paper that we attached, my 5 year old daughter made the cupcake card with another stamp set we have.  She signed it and put I "heart" U all over it too.

 Over the 19, I put "let's celebrate" stamp in Pansy Purple Ink - creating my own patterned paper.
