Reindeer Kisses - Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Pink and Main exclusive

 Good morning! I'm back to share a card using the next of the special STAMPtember collaborations throughout the month! Each collaboration is with one of your favorite companies, is limited edition, and only available while supplies last. When it's gone, it's gone! Today's special release is from Pink and Main:

The Reindeer Kisses set has some super cute images, and since I couldn't pick one, I decided to add a few to my card! I paired it up with some 49 and Market Mistletoe & Memories pattern paper - those tags are actually trimmed from a piece of that paper! I punched a hole and threaded through some twine on each one. I stamped the images and sentiment in black ink, then clear heat embossed, and die cut with the coordinating dies. I layered everything together, using foam adhesive for some of the layers, and then colored just the scarves of each reindeer to coordinate with a tag. I added some sparkly glitter drops over the scarves, and then finished off with a few sparkly enamel dots! Here is a closer look at this card:

Praying for You - Die Cutting and Ink Blending - Simon Says Stamp

Good morning! I'm here today to share a simple card I created with some stamps and dies from Simon Says Stamp, and one of the new Pink and Main MINI Ergonomic Blender brushes that I received recently to try out! I actually ordered a complete set before I even tried this one, because I already knew based on how much I loved the full size one, that I would undoubtedly love these as well. I definitely wasn't disappointed!

I think one of the things in particular I love about the mini size is how well they fit my mini ink cubes. While I have the full size distress oxide inks, I mostly use mini's for my normal distress inks. These brushes are the perfect size to use with those! YAY!

I created an ink blended panel on a white cardbase, masking off the area I wanted to add color to, and mixing two colors of distress ink. I then layered together 3 die cuts using Lotus Frame die, and adhered that over my panel. I also created a frame using two different sizes of Basic Rectangle Dies, and popped that up with foam adhesive around the outside to add another layer of dimension.

The sentiment is from Moments of Grace Stamp set, and was heat embossed on some white cardstock, then I ink blended over the top to custom color it to match my panel. I popped that up with foam adhesive, then finished off with a few white Pretty Pink Posh jewels for some sparkle!

More than Pie - Pink and Main Cards

Good morning! A few months back I got an email from Michelle, the owner of Pink and Main asking if I would be interested in working with some of their products at some point. At the time, life was crazy, so we waited until this fall. She sent me some of the newest release, then my life got crazy again, and it took me a little while to break it out and play with it. I'm so glad I finally had time to have some fun with them - they were so cute and darling! Here is the first card I made using some soft autumn colors - how fun is that sentiment?!?!?

For this one I used Autumn Blessings and the coordinating Autumn Blessings Dies paired up with some gorgeous pattern paper from Pumpkin Spice 6x6 Paper Pad. I love layering up pattern paper, and these color combos were perfect for that! I also tucked a doily, some jute twine, and a few flat sequins from Pretty Pink Posh on there. Check out all the yummy texture and dimension:

And then I also got to play with the fun Happy Dies. One thing I noticed that was unique with these dies (aside from the fact that they are PINK which is super fun!) is that they were all cut apart already with no sharp edges at all. Easy to use right out of the package!

I layered up the die cuts on a piece of torn edge Pumpkin Spice pattern paper with a sentiment from Autumn Blessings heat embossed on vellum, then covered the "happy" with Glossy Accents for some shine. Mounted that with foam adhesive over the pattern paper, and then on a kraft card base.
