Home Decor with Date Night Stamps

 I'm back with another post this morning.

This time I have a fun home decor project I created for

Pajama Crafter Stamps!

The stamps set I used is

Date Night.

Date Night is a 4x6 inch clear photopolymer stamp set illustrated by Kayla Ruble.  

This stamp set contains seven images and one sentiments.

Sentiment include:

• You and I just go together.

Coordinating die sold separately

I love this stamp set. It is so cute and fun!

My thought for this project was to make something maybe for an anniversary.

So I created 5 pieces to add to a floral arrangement.

I used all of the stamps but the big "Date Night"stamp.

My stamping was done with a dark gray stamp pad on white card stock.

Some of the elements were fussy cut and added to die cuts.

Some were stamped multiple times and die cut into a circle shape.

I colored with a combo of pencils and markers with a little glitter gel pen and glue added.

One rosette was made and place behind the sentiment piece.

Each of the 5 die cut pieces are double sided, so a dowel can be tucked into the center.

My vase is actually a plastic popcorn jar that I covered with silver tissue paper.

A piece of red ribbon and black netting were fashioned into a bow tied around the jar neck.

I had the silk flowers in my craft stash.

They were arranged simply and the other pieces were added.

I hope I have provided you some inspiration to think "out of the box" and

create a home decor piece with your stamp sets.

We would love for you to connect with us in the

Pajama Crafter Stamps and Friends Facebook Group!

Mother's Day at Polkadoodles

It's time for a new

Polkadoodles Craft Challenge!

The challenge theme is

ANYTHING GOES

 My DT project for this week is a Mother's Day card using 

Bluebell Flower Girl Darling Buds.

I printed this pretty digi and colored with Prismacolor Pencils before

trimming to a rectangle shape.

This piece was matted with silver metallic card.

I added ribbon to the upper left and lower right corners.

The image was framed with a die cut and added to the card base where

 another ribbon was added and the sentiment printed.

I added pearls to complete my design.

I hope you join us this week!

Goat Club

Hey there!

Today, I'm all about a new digital stamp set from

Beccy's Place!

Goat Club

What a fun set this is!

When you purchase this digital set, you will receive a zip file containing:
- 4 black and white line drawings
- 4 full colour images
- 6 word images / sentiments

I colored both images with Prismacolor Pencils and fussy Cut.

They were popped with foam tape onto die cuts.

I used some masculine patterned papers on the backgrounds of both cards,

although they could be appropriate for anyone!

The sentiments, both from the set were printed and added.

The sentiment on the second card was die cut.

I added enamel dots to the first card.

Check this digital stamps set out along with all the other products in store from

Beccy's Place.

And there is always plenty of inspiration and a challenge found at the

Beccy's Place Blog!

Wedding Invitation Layout

Do you ever struggle to come up with a unique wedding gift idea? If so, I have a suggestion.

Hey there! Today I'm sharing my latest creation for CutCardStock. 

This is a 12 x 12 inch wedding invitation layout project. 

I was asked to put one together years ago by a co-worker and 

have done several since then as gifts. 

Just put the layout in a shadow box and the couple has a lasting keepsake. 

For this particular layout, I actually designed and printed a sample invitation myself. I found some pretty watercolor floral clip art on Etsy and used the Pages App on my Mac to design. It was printed onto Cougar A7 (5×7) Flat Discount Card Stock Invitations.

Card Stock Used

Cougar WHITE 12 x 12 Discount Card Stock

DCS Gold GLITTER Heavyweight 12×12 Discount Card Stock

Stardream Metallic PUNCH 105lb 8.5 x 11 Card Stock

DCS Discount Card Stock: Pastel Pink Card Stock

Basis 8.5×11 Soft Pink 80 lb Card Stock

DCS Discount Card Stock: Peach 

Lessebo Colors HUNTER GREEN 83lb Cardstock

Pop Tone GUM DROP GREEN 8.5×11 Discount Card Stock

Gold & white patterned paper from my stash

Layout Base

The layout base consists of a 12 x 12 inch piece of the Gold Glitter Card Stock and a 11 1/2 x 11/1/2 inch piece of the Cougar White Card Stock.

Ink the edges of the white card and use a corner punch on the gold card. The white card is inserted into the corners of the gold.

Configure the Design

I chose to use 2 pieces of patterned paper on the background of my design. One of the these pieces is the paper I chose from my stash which was cut to 3 x 11 1/2 inches. Wanting to use another white and gold patterned piece, I created my own with washi tape (see photo below). It measures @ 5 1/4 x 6 1/4 inches.

These pieces and the invitation were matted with the Metallic Punch Card Stock. I also cut 2 strips measuring 1 x 10 1/2 inches.

Next, I did my die cutting for embellishments.

My flowers were assembled.

Add the finishing touches.

Thanks so much for taking a look at my Wedding Invititation Layout project!

As always, we would love for you to connect with us over on the CutCardStock Facebook Page and the Facebook Group Creating with Card Stock for more inspiration.

The card background was stamped, heat embossed and die cut.

I also die cut the sentiment.

A pretty ribbon, bow and some pink pearls were added.

Mother's Day Card

Happy Saturday!

I'm sharing a Mother's Day card today created for

Pajama Crafter Stamps.

I used a Prickley Pear stamp set and coordinating die

Sketched Florals Poppy

Poppy Die

The stamped image was colored with Castle Arts Soft Touch Pencils

before die cutting. I created a frame using a shaped frame die and

a couple of square dies. I matted the shaped frame and fussy cut around it.

The square dies were used to cut the inside of the frame, as I wanted the

flowers to be placed inside the frame rather than on top.

Foam tape helped me create a little more dimension.

I stamped the sentiment from a set in my stash and fussy cut.

I added a few pearls to complete my card design.

My project was created with the Prickley Pear

Rainbow Dreams Stamp Set.

It is a scrapbook page featuring my grandson.

He most definitely is my greatest treasure!

I used the 2 rainbow stamps and 3 of the sentiment stamps on my layout.

I colored the rainbows with Castle Arts Soft Touch Pencils and fussy cut.

The coloring on the sentiments was done with fine line markers.

The patterned papers were printed from a digital paper set.

I added a punched border up top.

The clouds in the background were die cut and inked.

Parts of the quote were printed and parts were die cut.

I added die cut "happy" at the bottom of the photo to complete the

saying on the bib "I make Grandma's heart happy".

I added the stamped and colored sentiments to the yellow border near the bottom.

Blooming Great Day

Hello there!

I hope everyone's Monday is off to a good start!

At least, I think it's Monday?

It gets harder and harder for me to keep track of what day it is!

LOL!

Enough of that.

I  have a card created for Polkadoodles to share. 

And since it seems we are having some warmer weather here in Colorado,

it is of a "spring" nature.

I'm using one of the Darling Buds digis.

This collection is one of my favorites from Polkadoodles!

And, it comes as printables or clear stamps!

This is Hyacinth Flower Girl.

I colored this beauty with Prismacolor Pencils before fussy cutting.

She is popped with foam tape onto an inked background.

I simply took some coordinating stamp pads and daubed with finger daubers.

The sentiment from, Spring Flower Mothers Day Friends Greetings,

 was printed onto the panel before the inking.

My card base was die cut.

I added glitter dots to complete my card design.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look at my project!

I hope you have a  fabulous week!
