Baby Elephants

Good Morning, 

Today I am sharing another card using the same clear stamp set that I used the other day with my otters. This one is elephants. This adorable set is from Pixi Dust Designs which I stamped and colored using copic markers. 

This was such a quick and simple card to make, just used an oval die and added the sentiment. You could do this with any image. I added some sequins for a little extra sparkle. 

Enjoy,

Kim 

birds bees and mothers day

 Good Morning everyone,

I have also used the Back Alley stencil for the brick wall and Splish Splash Stencil for the leaves behind the flowers.  The bee is from The What's the Buzz Stencil set which is also on clearance.

The sentiment is from the Sentimentally Speaking Holiday Set. This was really fun to create.

Best Tea!

Hello my friends,

Today I am sharing this super cute card using the My Best Tea Die set from Pixi Dust Designs. This adorable set is perfect for Mother's Day or Mom's Birthday as it comes with the sentiment too! 

Who doesn't love a good pun! I cut this one out using white cardstock and rose gold cardstock. I then just added a bit of a stencil flower to the pot and cup for added interest. How fun is that? 

Head on over to Pixi Dust Designs to see the entire release, you will want it all!

Souper Mom

Good Morning, 

Today I am sharing this Souper Mom die set from Pixi Dust Designs! So fun, right? I simply used the die and cut the soup bowl out of shiny black cardstock. The spoon from silver cardstock and the rest is obvious haha! I found this fun burlap cardstock at a local store here and used it as sort of a placemat. The sentiment comes with the dies for a quick and easy card! 

 

Squawk Eggs

Hello again, 

Today I am sharing another card using the Squawk Talk Stamp set from The Rabbit Hole Designs. I feel like this one could definitely be used for Mother's Day in so many ways! I just stamped directly onto Kraft cardstock and then colored with my Prismacolor pencils for a cute, sweet card.

Fun Boxes

 

Hello, Kim here today sharing with you how to create using this fun box die! You will see from the pictures is has a cut out to insert a small gift, candy, or egg but you could also omit that and cover the hole and use it for something else entirely but with Easter and Mother's Day right around the corner this would be a super creative way to add a little surprise to your special day!

​​​

​

So these are all the dies, I am showing you what I cut with plain cardstock and then what I cut with patterned paper. Obviously you can mix that up and use any paper you like!​

​

I used Bella Flowers paper pack which is perfect for this time of year! So many pretty flower papers it was hard to choose. ​
​​

​After die cutting all the papers I went to work scoring the top and bottom pieces to prepare to glue together. ​

 ​

Now as for putting the bottom together it took me a minute but once I figured it out it was so easy. So slide the bottom piece with the tabs under the bigger bottom piece as shown. Practice once first then I added some glue on the tabs and slid it in. ​
​​
​

That's the hardest part, the rest just falls into place. ​

Next I added a square on the bottom to cover up the workings. ​

​

On top of that I glued in the cut out with the hole in it. Just add some glue to the sides and slip it in.​

​

Now the fun part, adding the all the pretty papers!​

​

After I added some papers I glued the top to the bottom. ​

​​
​

For the bow, after it was die cut I curled the paper a bit using a any pen or poker, just so when gluing it down it stays rounded like a pretty bow!​
​

Then I glued all four sides to the back middle. ​
​

Added the bow center to the front and wrapped  in around to the back and glued it down. This gives it a nice finish.​
​​
​​
​

Finally I added it to the top of the box along with the other ribbon piece and we are done! So now you can create all kinds of sweet boxes with surprises inside!​

​​​

Thanks for stopping by!
