Hi there!

Elena here with a card featuring the hilarious pig-on-a-scooter from Sweet Swines:

Isn't he the cutest? So many people fell in love with these piggies at our Creativation booth! I gave the pig a bouquet of flowers, and tucked an envelope at his feet. Everything was colored with copic markers, and I used a white gel pen to add highlights to the images at the end. I love how this makes everything really pop!

To ground the pig, and create a scene, I used the Grand Photo Mat dies - I love the look of this big polaroid frame! The die itself cuts out clouds for you, and I added some white clouds on top also, giving the background more dimension. 

The large white area at the bottom was begging for a huge sentiment so I obliged with a greeting from Gifted. I colored the little heart at the end to match the swine!

I hope you like it! Thanks for stopping by!

I am so excited to have Guest Designer, Noga Shefer back with this adorable card that she created.  Isn't it soo cute?  I love the way she placed a shaded heart behind the cute bears from our Beary Good Friends stamp set.  The sentiment from our Gifted stamp set and raspberry twine are the perfect finishing touches.  Be sure to check out Noga's instagram for more amazing inspiration.

Gifted Week - Day 4

Hi Everone! I'm loving the new Gifted stamp set!  

My kids love making friend and teacher gifts so I used this set to make a cute tag. I love that I will have this tag ready for whenever and whatever my kids decide to make!

To create the tag, I die cut the Party Tag die. Next, I heat embossed the sentiment then inked the background. I colored in the heart. So cute! Then, I die cut the tag again in a solid blue card stock. Finally, I trimmed the sentiment tag a little on each side so the blue would show on the sides. I couldn't help but add a Peek a Boo animal to finish it off!

Thanks for stopping by!

Gifted Week - Day 2

Hi there!

Elena here, with a cute card featuring an oversized sentiment from Gifted, as well as images from Hot Dog.

I started out by stamping and die-cutting all of the images. The poodle-in-a-box and the doggie balloons are from Hot Dog, and the extra balloon is from the previously-released Wheelie Great. Everything was colored using copic markers. Once that was done, I set the images aside to created the rest of the card.

For the base, I cut a piece of paper from The Spring Collection Paper Pad. I love the tone-on-tone stripes so much! The whole pad is full of great, subtle patterns that are perfect for cute cards. 

Once that was done, I cut a frame and used the trail of hearts die (from Cupids) to cut a full hearts-and-confetti background. I love how this looks! I backed the light pink cardstock with a slightly darker pink color and set my images over-top of it.

To finish off, I stamped the large XOXO greeting from Gifted, and balanced it out with a smaller greeting from Hot Dog.

I hope you like it! Thanks for stopping by!

Gifted Week -Day 1

Hey there, Caryn here today with a couple of ideas for using the GIFTED stamp set along with the Party Tags Elle-ments and a few other gorgeous products from the latest release.

I created a wee video to show how this first project came together.  The idea sprang from seeing a big bag of carrot gummies on Amazon, lol!  I had some cone shaped treat bags in my stash, Mermaid Hemp Twine and some gorgeous green silk ribbon I saved from a Christmas gift so thought this would make a sweet Easter or Spring themed gift!

I created a little scene using some images from the Beary Good Friends set and some masking - how cute is that bunny?  As usual I had to give that bunny tail some dimension so I used the Neon Amplify product which puffs up when you heat it (would be great for snow scenes too I think!)

Here's another tag, this time using one of the images from the Sunflowers stamp set and some pretty yellow grosgrain ribbon.

I wanted the heart to sit under the "made with" part of the sentiment so I simply snipped the stamp with a pair of sharp scissors to separate it!
