My Cute Stamps Easter Stamp Giveaway!

These ATC's were made with the Your Tweet stamp set from My Cute Stamps. I love making ATC's. Especially since I can recycle!! I have a huge box of boo-boos. You know, those times you stamp an image and it doesn't come out perfect. I cannot bring myself to throw them out. So, I save them to make ATC's, since ATC's give me the freedom to be more artsy and alter them.

So, on to the giveaway! My Cute Stamps is holding an Easter Stamp Giveaway at their blog: Creating Cupcakes!

I really love these stamps! Especially all of the adorable owls!! Oh and check out this cute monster set called Eek! A Monster! I need that set!

By entering their giveaway, you can win this cute Easter set: Jelly Beans

You can enter by posting your favorite set on your blog and submitting a link to your entry on their blog. Here's my favorite set: You're Tweet!

Here's some cards I posted earlier with this fun set:

Storage Idea!!

Okay, so I just wanted to share a tip. I love these Iris boxes for storing my TGF stamps! I got the small one at Joann's and it came with 6 containers, that fit snugly inside. I then needed to upgrade (big surprise) to the larger one, which I purchased at Michael's and it came with 12 containers! Each container fits 2 sets perfectly! Or, 4 Anya/Ians. They are acid free/photo safe, so I am assuming they are safe for the stamps as well. And, look, a handle, so I can take them with me everywhere I go!!!

Another NON-Square creation!

More creations inspired by The Greeting Farm's "Don't be a Square" challenge. These are fast and easy gift card tags.

These are made with Princess Anya and Mermaid Anya.

First, I made a seam in my SU Kraft cardstock. I stamped the image along the seam, folded and cut around the image. I wanted a vintage sort of look, so I mainly used light colors in my Copics: Moon White, Sugared Almond Pink, Sea Green, Pale Lilac and accented with darker shades. I really love how easy Copics are to use on the Kraft cardstock!!!

I then highlighted the hair with Snow Angel Glimmer Mist.

I stamped To/From on the inside so that they are ready to use!

Don't be a Square Challenge at TGF!!

The Never Ever Pirate Ship...CLICK PIC FOR LARGER VIEW.

Hello Everyone!! Sorry for the lapse in time. I was feeling a little under the weather. But, what a pick me up The Greeting Farm's sneak peeks were!!! Look at these NEW soon to be realeased girls! I absolutely love them and I cannot wait to get my hands on them!!!

Here's my entry for the Don't be a Square Challenge at TGF, using the new Never Ever stamp set. (Which at the time of this entry is back in stock!!)
It's a card shaped as a pirate ship. I cut the boat shape out of a piece of folded cardstock. I then cut strips and distressed them and attached them to the card.

Thanks for stopping by! I'll be back with all those projects I promised!

New Releases at The Greeting Farm Today!

ETA: Below is a sneak peek of some of the projects I'll be posting tomorrow. This is from the Down on the Pond set.

Today is release day over at The Greeting Farm! You can purchase all the new sets here. There are some AMAZING sets today!!! If they are sold out by the time you get there, never fear, Marie will restock them!!

This is my favorite of the new releases, it's the Never Ever stamp set. I'll be creating a lot with this set!!! I'm such a huge Peter Pan fan. Who doesn't love Tink??! And, Marie has designed the cutest little Tink stamp EVER!!!

I am so thrilled that Marie is creating Storybook themed sets!!! There is also a Wonderland set that I have pictured below.

Here is a close-up of my card. I colored in with Copics. I mainly used Moss, Mignonette, Lime, Frost Blue, Aqua, Buttercup, Sand, Light Walnut, Skin White, Blush, and Anise.

I used Glimmer Mist to splatter the background and highlight some of the designs on Wendy's dress. I used Stickles for Tink's fairy dust and wings.

To make the book Wendy is holding, I stamped and cut out a second book. I colored it with the Light Walnut Copic, and then ran it through the Cuttlebug and distressed it with some brown ink, to make it look like an embossed leather vintage book. I then added some pearls to the binding and bling to the dress.

These are the stamp sets I used for the card. Never Ever, Wishing Tree, and Wonderland.

The next release will be April 15th over at Club Anya. There will be all new Anya/Ian stamps!! You don't want to miss it!!
