Verve April Release - Day 2

Hi Everyone,


Welcome to Day 2 of Verve Sneak Peek hops! Today we are previewing three stamp sets and a couple of new dies!! I used the Super Dad stamp set with the new die called the Ribbon Banner Die - which is just super super awesome and coordinates with the big banner in the Super Dad stamp set! I made this card with my DH in mind - who loves these colors too..


I love the font of the Super Dad stamp set - and used the embossed oval die to cut it out and adhered it to the Classy Label Die: 

Card Ingredients:

Paper: Cardstock from PTI and papers from MME

Stamps: Super Dad stamp set from Verve Stamps

Inks: Memento Rich Cocoa

Accessories: bling, dimensionals, stickles and photo corner

Verve April Release Spotlights - Day 1

Hi Everyone,


It's time for another fun and super lovely release from Verve Stamps where today the DT and I are sneaking samples from 2 super cute stamp sets and dies. I chose the lovely flowers from the Joyful Blooms stamp set and coordinating dies to create this card: I love the sentiment: Celebrate Today! yay!!!

Card Ingredients:

Paper: MME and choice PTI paper

Stamps: Joyful Blooms stamp set 

Inks: Memento Rich Cocoa and Tuxedo Black

Accessories: Joyful Blooms dies, black pearls from Want2Scrap, EK success border punches,oval nesties, and dimensionals 

I loved making this fun card because of the lovely coordinating dies! It was fun to stamp a flower and then use the die as a mat for that size of flower - and all the sentiments in this set are just so positive and fun!. I cut out an oval shape and then popped up the card stock on an A4 card and then added the popped up flowers inside the oval. An and all it was a super fun and easy card to create! 

I can't wait to see what the rest of the DT has created with the gorgeous stamp sets that are being peeked today - please check them out with me here:

Color Throwdown Week #2

Hi All,

How are all of you today? Here things are bright and sunny  - and so that calls for a walk in the park with the kids! But first, a little card that I made for the second Color Throwdown (I just love saying "throwdown" - its so much fun to say!). The wonderful ladies at Color Throwdown have come up with a great set of new colors for this week's challenge. The colors are Pumpkin Pie, Cool Carribean and Barely Banana. 

This was such a nice combination and I was trying to think of what to do and this is what I came up with. I made panels from the light yellow paper (why, I don't know :) and then adhered the cat image on top. The stamped sentiments are from Clear Stamps and the image was embossed in white onto the orange paper. To contrast the colors a little I xacto knifed the tail so that some of it would show up on the blue.  I added a little white prima flower with a little button brad on the cat and a few brads on the corner for color. I didn't have any ribbons in those colors, so I just went with a simple white ribbon simple ribbon. 

I really enjoy these challenges because they make use colors that I might now have thought about putting together - and I love seeing what all the amazing crafters have been up to. Thanks so much ladies for organizing this! Can't wait till next week!

I am off to organize our park outing - hope all of you are having a sunny day!

Ciao for now,

Sankari :)
