DIY Pineapple Stamp

Today's card features a fun stamp the I hand carved. I know that may seem like a daunting project but i promise its super easy. This has always been a favorite craft medium of mine I love the endless possibilities it has.

Pineapples are really on trend right now and thought they would look really cool on a card using these two inks from ranger; Lemon Twist and Electric Lime they're so bright and just scream summer and I thought they would be the perfect combo for a pineapple.I started by doing a quick sketch onto some rubber linoleum of a small pineapple. I took my carving tool and carved it out wherever the drawing was, I did this kind of loosely because I wasn't looking for a perfect stamp I wanted it to be kind of sketchy. I then cut the stamp out with my craft knife and was ready to test it out.

I inked the Leaves with the Electric Lime and the base with the Lemon Twist and stamped it repeatedly over my card base, I think it came out amazing its so bright and cheery...Speaking of cheery I decided to use the Cheers! die from the Simon Says Stamps Plan On It release as part of my sentiment. I die cut 6 of them from Neenah Solar White and water colored one of them with some Peacock Feathers and Mermaid lagoon distress ink, I covered it with clear Wink of Stella and stacked and glued all six on top of each other. I then pieced together a couple words from the Winnie and Walter big sentiments set to say it's your birthday, stamped it one some SSS Orange Peel card stock and cut it out to be a double flagged banner.

I matted the Pineapple panel on the same Orange peel Card stock and then to my card base, attached the Cheers! and popped up the banner on some foam tape, attached them to the card and added a couple sequins to finish it off.

 Have a Great day everyone!!!!

Happy Birthday Faded Floral Card

Today's card is a fun soft birthday card that features probably my most used stamp set recently the flowers from Simon Says Stamp...I promise I'll take a break from this set for a little bit haha.

I started with a piece of watercolor card stock and sprayed it with a very light mist of water just to get it slightly damp. I gathered my colors of distress inks for the flowers and started to stamp them in random pattern, after I stamped each one I would immediately spray it again and press it with a paper towel to take the color off. I finished stamping all my flowers and leaves and dried the paper with my heat tool and glued it to my Simon Says Stamp fog card base.

 I took a die from the lawn fawn small stitched circle stackables and die cut a piece of Simon Says Stamp fog card stock and a piece of vellum to layer on top of each other. I then die cut the word happy from Hero Arts happy stamp set and glued it on to the vellum circle, to attach that I put glue under where the word was glued to attach it to the fog card stock...to keep the edges of the vellum down I also put a couple dots where the stitched were cut, you can't even tell there's glue there. I then took the small birthday stamp from SSS You set and curved it a little on my block to match the curve of the happy die cut. i popped the whole circle on some foam tape and attached it to my card, and of course to finish it off i added some Wink of Stella to the happy and some pink sequins scattered near the sentiment.

Sorry I was post-less for a little bit, you know summer business. I'm back in full swing now :)

Thanks for stopping by!
