Sneak Peak of what's to come tomorrow

Sorry, I don't have a card to share today because I'm busy getting ready for a garage sale that I'm having on Saturday but I wanted to let you know about a couple of things happening tomorrow.

August 1st there will be a new Stamp of the Month for Clear and Simple Stamps and there will also be a new FREE template available so be sure to stop back! So, how about a little sneak peak of what's to come . . .

What could the new set be? These photos aren't very helpful are they? Please stop back tomorrow for a full reveal.

And don't forget that today is the last day to use the discount code on the July Stamp of the Month Summer. Save $1 by using code - DTBlog709. I have postings using the Summer set here and here.

Happy Stamping!

Another Whipper Snapper card

How about another Whipper Snapper card for today? This one uses the little bird and branch from Anna Wight's Cling Mount set called Little Critters. What a fun set! I paired them with the Cosmo Cricket Early Bird line of papers. The "for you" piece is part of the elements page included with the crafting kit.

Don't forget that sneak peaks for the next Clear and Simple stamps release will begin on July 1st. There will also be a new Stamp of the Month set and free template offered so be sure to check back. Happy Stamping!

Wanna Snuggle?

Doesn't this gator look like he's just waiting to give someone a big hug?! I stamped him and the clouds on watercolor paper and colored them with Watercolor Wonder Crayons and an aqua brush. The images were then cut out and mounted to the card with pop dots for added dimension. I used a green Twinklette marker on the spots on the gator's back for some sparkle.

All of the images are from Whipper Snapper Designs. They are from three different Anna Wight cling mount sets - the greeting is from the Winter Schminter set; the cloud is from the Fish Friends set; and the gator is from the Little Critters set. Love how Anna's sets work so well together.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you're having a wonderful week!

Sunny Wishes

I can't believe it's been almost a week since my last post. I guess I've been busy enjoying summer and neglecting my blog readers. Sorry!

Today I have a cute little whipper snapper card to share with you. I just love this chicken stamp! I paired her up with some papers from Cosmo Cricket's Girl Friday line. I stamped the chick on watercolor paper and used my watercolor wonder crayons and an aqua brush to color her then cut her out and attached her with pop dots for some dimension. The "sunny wishes" is from the Sweet Expressions unmounted set also from Whipper Snapper.

I hope you're all having a great week. Thanks so much for stopping by.

Summer Fun and Sweet Tooth

I saw this cute pack of papers fromWe R Memory Keepers on clearance the other day at Michael's and after some debate decided that it needed to come home with me. The clearance price was $9 but then it rang up even cheaper so I'm glad it made it's way into my basket.

I went home and put together the bases of the three cards. They all have the same white base, orange panel, and striped panel. Then for the focal images I decided to mix them up so they would all have a little different look.

For the candy card I added an orange square panel on the diagonal behind the circular image. For the flip flops, I turned the card on it's side and added three circles with flip flops.

Lastly I went with just a plain circluar image. For a little extra something I cut out the purple popsicle and mounted it with pop dots.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you're all having a wonderful day.

Garage Sale Find

While checking out the garage sales last weekend I spotted a Geranium stamp for 50 cents. Yes, I brought it home with me.

I colored the stamp with my Watercolor Wonder Crayons, spritzed it with water and stamped it on watercolor paper. After distressing the edges of the image panel I sewed it to the designer paper mat. Just a nice simple card to showcase the beautiful flower.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you're having a wonderful week!
