Happy Halloween Card by Maria Russell

Happy Halloween!

Today Maria has created a fun Halloween greeting that combines several of our newest Halloween products! 

The star of this card is the adorable Frankenstein kitty from our new Franken-Newton Stamp Set. She colored the kitty in bright greens and purples for a fun Halloween look! The image was cut out using the coordinating Franken-Newton Die Set. 

She created a frame using the big spiderweb image from our new  Spiderweb Oval Stamp Set. She embossed the web in white onto black cardstock and cut it out with our Oval Frames Die Set to give it a scalloped edge. She also cut inside along the inside edges of the spiderweb using a scissor to make it into a frame! This spiderweb frame is the perfect spot for the Frankenstein kitty! 

For her card base, she used the fun jack-o'-lantern patterned paper from our Halloween Meows Paper Pad, cutting it out with the scallop edged frame from our Frames & Flags Die Set. For finishing touches she added two orange bows, cut out using the bow from our Baby Bib Die Set and added gems to their centers. She also added the sentiment "Happy Halloween" from the Franken-Newton Stamp Set, embossed in white onto a black strip of paper and layered over the spiderweb frame. 

We love this fun fun and colorful combination of Halloween products! To see more beautiful projects by Maria you can visit her over at her blog, Maria Russell Designs.

Today we are featuring projects by Samantha and Tatiana! 

First up we are sharing a duo of cloud cards by Samantha: 

For this set of cards Samantha shows how you can use both the positive and negative shapes you get from the foil sheet! She started out by using a cloud stencil from Newton's Nook Designs and applied foil from Therm O Web using transfer gel. A sentiment stamp from Newton's Nook Designs finishes this lovely clean and simple card.

Next, she used the piece of foil that was left after the transfer. You can see it has the negative of the clouds, which also makes a super fun pattern! She created a second card using this! What a great way to use all of the foil! Full product list is below.

New Baby Card by Larissa Heskett

Celebrate a new Baby!

Today Larissa has created a stunning baby card in shades of teal! For this fun card she stamped the whale bib from our Bitty Bibs Stamp Set several times, coloring each image with a gray whale and bright teal bubbles. Then she added a scalloped teal bib behind each image using our Baby Bib Die Set. So cute! She layered the images all over white circles and then over a gorgeous teal background.

To create that amazing background, she used our Bokeh Stencil Set to add bubbles over a teal background panel. She also repeatedly stamped the words "new baby" from the Bitty Bibs Stamp Set to make a fun pattern. A few sparkly gems were added and then the whole panel was framed using a silver scallop edged frame cut out with our Frames & Flags Die Set.

This gorgeous card has sun a fun celebratory feel and is perfect for welcoming a baby!

Thank you, Larissa, for the beautiful project today! To say hello to Larissa and see more of her creations, visit her over at her blog, Larissa Heskett Designs.

Oh Baby! Card by Nakaba Rager

Oh Baby!

Today we are sharing a darling baby card by Naki! She combined the bib from our Baby Bib Die Set and the onesie from our Stitched Onesie Die Set to cut out adorable baby clothes from patterned paper. Both of these die sets also have stamp sets that coordinate with them (check our shop for the Bitty Bibs Stamp Set and the Loveable Laundry Stamp Set), but it's so fun to see how the dies can be easily used on their own to create a sweet baby card.

She layered the die cut onesie and bibs onto her card over a handmade rainbow of stripes, created from bits of paper in different colors. Along the bottom she added the "oh baby! sentiment by cutting letters our with our Essential Alphabet Die Set! 

This card would be so perfect to give to an expectant or new parent to celebrate their little one!

Thank you for the sweet inspiration today, Naki! If you like this project you can see more of Naki's work over on her blog, Notes from Naki. Stop by and say hello!
