"You are so full of AWESOMENESS"

Hi crafty friends, Joann here today on this lovely Saturday sharing a thank you card using of my favorite stamp sets from Pretty Cute Stamps! The Many Thanks stamp set is full of so many wonderful thank you sentiments!  

Here is today's card...


I used a stencil with some Spun Sugar Distress Ink to add a little detail behind my butterfly. I then used a butterfly die to cut out 2 butterflies out of some pattern paper and vellum and hand stitched it to my card with some black thread.


Taking my Pretty Cute Stamps Many Thanks stamp set, I white heat embossed it onto some black cardstock and added it to my card and finished it off by adding a few die cut hearts and sequins.

Well that's it, I hope you enjoyed today's card. As always don't forget to stop by Pretty Cute Stamps shop to pick up this fabulous stamp set!

Pretty Cute Stamps "Love" Challenge

Hi crafty friends, so happy that you are joining us today for the Pretty Cute Stamps Love ChallengeYou can click HERE to get all of the details on how to enter your project and a chance to win a $15 Gift Certificate!

Here is my project...


I decided to get a head start on some Valentine gifts for my son's class. The treat/pencil holder design is not mine, I came across Kerry's Paper Crafts and fell in love with this treat holder design, you can read her original post HERE!

I found these pencils at Target and had to grab them. I love the the blue mixed in with the pinks and reds and since these will be from my son, they were PERFECT!

I used Forest Friends to create my heart background. I simply placed my hearts on a clear block and stamped my image several times using SSS Caribbean Blue Ink. I also took the heart image from Holiday Planner to fill in a few empty spaces.



I cut my heart using my Cricut and took the phrase "You've got the WRITE stuff" from The Write Stuff stamp set and stamped it with some CTMH Black Ink and then I took the word Valentine's from the Holiday Planner and carefully inked it with some SSS Hot Lips Ink so that it would just read Valentine and stamped it to my heart to help finish my phrase!

Well I hope you liked my project, thank you so much again for stopping by! Please don't forget to join us in this challenge for a chance to win a $15 Gift Certificate to the Pretty Cute Stamps Store!

Have a FABULOUS day!!

Here's a quick look at the stamp sets I used

"Anything Goes" December Pretty Cute Stamps Challenge

Happy Saturday friends, thank you so much for stopping by!



Today I would like to share a fun gift idea for those of you who are last minute like me...lol!  I came across this tutorial and absolutely feel in love with the project. 

Here is my take...


This adorable box holds a gift card and some candy! I used Pretty Cute Stamps Gingerbread Kisses for my sentiment and my adorable image.


Now the box was made to hold 10 Hershey Nuggets, but at the last minute I placed Hershey Kisses inside because I thought it went PERFECT with my sentiment.  So the next time I make this box I will need to make the box a little deeper. Still worked great and I love the way it came out but that would definitely be one change that I would need to make.

Well that is all I have for you today, have a fabulous weekend!

Pretty Cute Stamps December 2015 Stamp Release Blog Hop

Happy Thursday and welcome to the Pretty Cute Stamps December 2015 Stamp Release blog hop! If you came here from Gloria's blog, you are in the right place. If you stumbled upon this post and would like to start from the beginning, please visit the Pretty Cute Stamps Blog.

The new release is AVAILABLE NOW and on sale until December 15, 2015. You can save even more by purchasing the December 2015 Stamp Release Bundle. Click HERE to pick up this awesome deal!

Now let's get started! I decided to make a Christmas card for my hubby using the new stamps sets.


 I started out by using my Cricut to cut my little coffee cups using the PCS Coffee Faces SVG Oulines. I then took PCS Coffee Faces stamp set to stamp one of my images and as for the other one, since I mirrored it I stamped it onto some acetate and used a technique called "reverse image stamping". Now the outcome will not be perfect so I took a ZIG Millennium .05 pen to trace over the "stamped image". I also added the adorable faces using PCS Coffee Faces!

(the pink cup is the reversed stamped image)

After that, I simply used my ZIG Clean Color Real Brush Markers in colors, 026, 025, 036, 031, 091, 062, 065 to color in my images. I took my sentiment from the PCS Coffee Sentiments stamp set and stamped it to a separate piece of white card stock, layering to the top panel.



I finished off my card by adding a mistletoe with some pearls, Wink of Stella to my cups and scattered some TCP Rock Candy Relish ( I absolutely LOVE the variety of sizes you get in this mix).

Well that's all I have for you today, thanks so much for stopping by. Your next stop is KARLA!
