Pretty Cute Stamps September Challenge - Polka Dots!

There's a fun new challenge happening right now at the Pretty Cute Stamps blog - Polka Dots! I just love polka dots; they're just so FUN!



I used the stamp set Bushels Of Fun to create this pretty mixed media Fall card! Apples totally remind me of Fall, and I just love this set!

When I was doing Creative Chemistry 103 over the summer I created the panel for this card using a Distress MicroGlaze technique where I stamped my image on watercolour paper, coloured with Distress Markers and then applied the Distress MicroGlaze on top and around my image, creating a cool resist. Then, I spritzed Dylusions Sprays on my craft mat and applied my panel on top. This creates such a cool watercoloured background, but protects the original stamped image!

I stamped this sweet half apple on watercolour paper and coloured it in with Distress Markers before fussy cutting and placing it over my stamped sentiment and polka dot ribbon. The heart is also from the stamp set!

I used a polka dot stencil and transparent glaze to stencil circles on top of my panel. I added clear glitter on top before the glaze dried, creating some subtle, but sparkly dots! A few shiny sequins from SpiegelMom Scraps finish off my polka dot theme!

Inside, I used another watercoloured apple and added a cute little face. I added a polka dot border of the same paper I used on the front card base. I'm not sure exactly what occasion I'll use this card for yet, but it could certainly work for Thanksgiving, friend, birthday, and more!

Here's the adorable stamp set I used for my project -

Pretty Cute Stamps - Lunch Box Notes

Hello everyone! Today I'm bringing you some back to school goodness for the Pretty Cute Stamps blog. Yesterday was my 7 year old's first day of Grade 2! I don't think I was quite ready for all the back to school hustle and bustle!

She loves it when I send little notes in her lunch bag, and I usually draw something on a napkin and write her a little message. This year I thought I would send a cute mini lunch box note every once in a while as well, and these stamps with their funny and sweet sentiments were just the thing to decorate them with!


I stamped the images on some vanilla cardstock cut at 2 1/2" square. I rounded the corners and coloured them in with Prismacolor Markers and Jellyroll Glaze and Soufflé pens. I added a little sparkle with the Jellyroll clear glitter pen.


These were so fun to create for my daughter - I know she will appreciate them and they'll brighten her day!

I can't get enough of these amazing sentiments!! Here are the backs of the notes:


For my cards today I used:
