Little Piggies Card

I am here with yet another cute card today.

I am using the set called:
PET SHOP

When I make a card, I will often choose which image from which stamp set I want to use for my card/project.
With today's card, I knew I wanted to use the piggies from the Pet Shop set.



So I started to look for different phrases for pigs and came up with nothing.
So then I decided to make my own background paper using the "This little piggie" poem.



I then mounted my piggies on the background paper and created a cute baby card.



I made the inside sentiment to go along with the theme.



I just think the piggies and the different shades of pink I used make a wonderful card!



My advice for today: Always look for the unexpected.
With a little imagination you can make almost any stamp set you own fit into a certain theme you need!

Animal Fun!

This card is just a fun, innocent card!

I just couldn't help wanting to make this ANIMAL card, when I started working with this sweet little set.

The set is called:

Pet Shop

What I did was cut all my papers to size first. I took the sheet of stamps and randomly out the whole set(minus the hearts) on one acrylic block.

I then stamped and embossed my background paper and added the hearts back in, in 2 different embossed colors.

Then a made my phrase in PSE and printed it out and put the card altogether.

Here is the inside of the card.

I just love how whimsical this came out.

Have you tried using multiple stamps from a set to create your own unique background paper?

I will be looking carefully at all my sets to see which ones I can use this same technique with.

I hope you have enjoyed my post today!

Happy New Year with Gel-a Tins

I am soooooooooooo excited I can hardly stand it!

I have new gel-à-tins to play with.

Today I am using the set called Pet Shop.

Here is a peek at the set.

Here are the basic steps I took to create my card.

First I stamped the pig from the set 3 times in a pink ink.

I knew that I wanted them raised, shiny and embossed, but I do not own a pink embossing powder. So what I did, after I stamped them in pink I quickly stamped the pigs again with clear embossing ink and then I embosses them with clear embossing powder to get this look, below.

I then use the computer to create the phrase I wanted and then applied a path to the words to create a sense of movement.

Here is the finished product.

I was hoping to make it looks like the pigs were doing a flip, did it work?

Here is a side view to see the layers I created, I love the dimension when there are lots of layers in a card.

I just adored working with this set and can't wait to show you more things with the new sets I have to play with! Be sure to come back and see what set I use next time!

We'd love to hear from you. Leave a link in your comment if you'd like!

I'd love to hear your ideas!

Well, the week is halfway done already!  I hope you've had a chance to get creative this week, but if you haven't, today's projects should inspire you.  A beautiful card and a sweet little gift box are just the sort of projects you can use any time!

This card is by Gladys.  She makes such detailed projects, and this card is no exception.  She used the Hello! set to embellish it.

Karin made this adorable little altered gift box with the Pet Shop stamp set.  I love how she stamped it twice and layered the ears to give it a little more dimension and detail!
