Swan Tag with Taheerah Atchia!

Flamingos turned into Swans - with Taheerah!

Taheerah Atchia is definitely always one to think outside the box and todays project from her is a great example of that! She turned our sweet flamingos from our Flirty Flamingos stamp set into Swans! SO PRETTY!  I Love the sweet little white swans with all the bright colors surrounding them!

Thanks, Taheerah, for sharing this super cool idea today!

You're cool - Penguin Card

Chill out with this fun card today!

Since it's August, it's HOT where I live right now - in the Midwest USA -  so I thought it would be fun to cool things off with a cute penguin card today!  I used our cute little penguin mom and chick from our Wild Child stamp set to create this cutie! I stamped them with black and then colored them with Inktense colored pencils and added a wee bit of water to give them that light watercolored look. then I punched them out with a giant circle punch that I have and added them onto this card. I had some fun blue paper that I thought matched them just right and I also added some burlap - because everything is better with burlap- LOL! the "you're cool" sentiment is also from the same Wild Child stamp set!  This set with the baby animals and moms is so adorable - I'm definitely going to keep using this set for baby and kid birthday cards! 

If it's hot where you live, hope this helped you feel a little cooler today! 

You're a Cool Cat!

Cool Cat!

He he he - this image of Newton "snorkeling" in the fishbowl from the Newton's Summer Vacation stamp set makes me smile! I stamped the image in black and colored it with copics. Then embossed a piece of teal blue cardstock with polka dots and cut some holes out of it with my Big Shot and Sizzix circle dies. I added the fun little sentiment  "you're a cool cat" also from the Newton's Summer Vacation stamp set  along with some patterned paper circles. I really love how this turned out - super fun! 

Dino Birthday Wishes with Samantha Mann!

Samantha Mann created this fun Birthday card using our Prehistoric Pals stamp set! I love the purple dino and the fun vellum grass she created for him to hang out in! The fun neon yellow watercolor background is super fun too! This would make a great birthday card for anyone!

Thanks Samantha for the fun Dino inspiration! For full details and to see what else she's up to make sure to visit Samantha's blog Sam's Scrap Candy.
