Want to tell someone you’re wild about them? What could be wilder that dinosaurs? The dinosaur on today’s card is from the Pieces & Patterns stamp set, and the coordinating Pick a Pattern Designer Series Paper is just adorable.
I used the Mirror Stamping Technique to get two different dinosaurs from the same stamp, which sounds more complicated than it is. You simply stamp your image onto a piece of clear Window Sheet, flip it over, and rub the back to transfer the ink to the paper.
Here’s what I made:
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:

Stamped with the Pieces & Patterns stamp set:

dinosaur in black ink onto a piece of Window Sheet
quickly turned the Window Sheet over and pressed it to the Whisper White CS piece, rubbing the back to transfer the ink from the Window Sheet to the CS
NOTE: if you don’t get as good a transfer as you would like, you can go over the image with the fine point of a Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker
sentiment in black ink onto the 4″ x 5-1/2″ Whisper White CS
Cut using the Cookie Cutter Builder Punch:
tiny heart from a scrap of Flirty Flamingo CS

burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder

The Sweet Little Something stamp set was one of the first I wanted to try from the new 2018 Occasions Catalog. I used it to make today’s card, which could be used for a baby or young child or even for a baby shower. Make the same card in different colors for a different feel. Maybe Pink Pirouette, Flirty Flamingo, and Berry Burst for a girl? The see through photopolymer stamps make it easy as pie to line up the three stamps to create the photorealistic image.
It’s National Cuddle Up Day! Wouldn’t you love to cuddle up with this sweet little cuddly bunny?

Happy New Year! Today’s card should look familiar. It’s very much like my team’s swap cards that I posted yesterday. I did make mine several weeks ago, but was saving it for today. The Large Numbers Framelits Dies make the Eclipse Technique super quick and easy (the magic words.) I also used the Year of Cheer Designer Series Paper (DSP) and a Silver Foil Sheet. The sentiment inside the card is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set, which in my opinion, should be in everyones’ stamp collection. There’s a sentiment for almost any occasion, and all the different fonts are great. Check out the cute font on the one I used on today’s card.

Whether you go out partying all night or just run around the corner for a minute, please be careful out there. I hope you all have a very happy – and safe – New Year’s Eve.
On December 17, I hosted the December Candy Hearts Team Meeting and Christmas Shindig. We had a lot of fun with demonstrations, Make & Takes, yummy food, and talking – and yes there was a whole lot of laughing. Our swap theme was New Year’s, so today I’m sharing the Hearts’ swap cards. I know you’ll agree with me when I say that these are some very talented card makers.
Here’s what they made:
Debbie’s card has a Whisper White card base and a layer of Year of Cheer Designer Series Paper. It includes Year of Cheer Washi Tape & Embellishments, a Foil Snowflake, and a sentiment from the Cheer to the Year stamp set cut with the Pretty Label Punch.
Judy’s card has a Berry Burst card base with a layer of Foil Frenzy Designer Series Paper. 2018 has been cut from the DSP layer with the Large Numbers Framelits Dies, then adhered with Foam Adhesive Strips. This is the Eclipse Technique. Metallic Edged Berry Burst Ribbon (a sneak peek from the upcoming 2018 Occasions Catalog) and a sentiment from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set are the final touches.
Great minds think alike! Lonita also used the Year of Cheer Designer Series Paper and a Foil Snowflake, but her card has a Basic Black card base. The sentiment is heat embossed on a piece of Basic Black card stock, and layered with a circle cut with the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies and the snowflake. A piece of Silver Sequin Trim finishes off the design.
