Stamps & Stretchy Pants

Are you loving the new January to June catty as much as I am? I love the variety of stamp sets in this catalogue. We have fun whimsy sets, vintage inspired sets, line image, Reversibles and much much more! I created this super cute and fun card with the new Oh Snap stamp set on page 47. Who doesn’t love a cute crocodile?

I wanted to create a soft water background so I used the new Blending Brush with Seaside Spray ink. I added a few little waves in the same ink color near the bottom.

The Croc is stamped in Momento Ink on Whisper White card stock (which has now been replaced with Basic White card stock). I colored this cute croc in with our Stampin’ Blends in Granny Apple Green, Shaded Spruce and Seaside Spray.

I wanted it to look like my crocodile was snacking on “Its Your Birthday”, so I used Highland Heather ink on Purple Posy card stock punched into a 1 inch circle which fit perfectly in his mouth.

My croc is popped up on Dimensionals as well to give it some height.

I added a couple little banners to the top left using the In Color 6x6 DSP stack and the woodgrain pattern. I added the Gorgeous Grape little heart on top. This cute little heart can be found in the Kangaroo Dies (pg 17).

I don’t think it matters how old you are, receiving this card is enough to put a smile on anyone’s face!

Well here he is, the cutest little snowman in all the land! Here to wish you a happy 2021! I created this card earlier this month for a card swap and actually had quite a laugh putting him together. This card marks my 28th project share this month! The majority of my shares have been cards but I have snuck a few other things in this month as well, so if you haven’t been following along daily, make sure you go back and see all of my creations!

I used the Snowman Season stamp set for the cute snowman image and the little snowflakes in the background. My cute snowman is colored with Stampin’ Blends in Calypso Coral and Just Jade and the snowflakes are stamped in Seaside Spray. I LOVE this blue! Its just the perfect blue as it coordinates with so many different colors and is such a fantastic way to color glass (think windows) or air elements (think sky and snow) or give highlights to colored shapes and images. I will be sad to see it retire when its turn comes.

2021 is cut from Just Jade card stock with the Playful Alphabet dies and Foam Adhesive sheets…incase you have not noticed, I adore this combo. I think the Foam Adhesive sheets are the TOP product of the Annual Catalogue.

I added a hint of blue behind the snowflakes using the new Blending Brushes which are coming out in the new January to June (or JJ catty).

The ‘Happy’ and ‘Good Luck’ are stamped in Calypso Coral ink from the Art Gallery stamp set—another new release! I thought this card had a whimsical feel with a touch of happy sarcasm to it!
