Stitched With Love!

Hi friends! I hope you all enjoyed a relaxing weekend with a bit of crafty time for yourself. I'm sharing a card with you today using the Pretty Cute Stamps Sew Amazing stamp set. I love to sew, but don't do it often enough right now - however, this stamp set lets me have fun with all the stitchy elements and play with paper too!

 I started off by cutting a Project Life card down a bit. It already had this fun, funky stitching printed right on it! Perfect! I used some Distress Ink to sponge some colour around the edge before adding it to a folded card. I love the Stitched With Love sentiment from the stamp set and stamped it directly onto the PL card. I used my circle punches to punch out a few fun patterned paper items and added a stamped button from the set.

I stamped the fun sewing machine in the set directly onto my background as well as on a piece of Maggie Holmes patterned paper. Then, I fussy cut around the main part of the patterned paper stamped image before adding it to my background. A bit of coloured pencil highlighted the edges. You can see that I added some glittery purple thread onto my spool before attaching it!

Inside, I used the piece of the PL card I cut from the front and stamped the Just For You sentiment, also in the set. I added some zigzag and running stitches stamps and some stamped buttons that I used Distress Inks to colour. I wrapped some more shiny purple thread directly onto my cut out spool before adding it inside the card as well.

A few sequins and a pretty button from the 28 Lilac Lane collection and a couple rhinestones from my stash, add a bit of bling!

Crafty Project Life Page with Pretty Cute Stamps!

I hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas! We certainly did, and I'll be back to share some layouts from our events! For today, I'm posting at the Pretty Cute Stamps blog and I wanted to share a crafty Project Life page I made using the Happy Crafting and Sew Amazing stamp sets from Pretty Cute Stamps.

I had some cute pics of my girls working on some crafty projects and these stamped images were the perfect embellishments to add to my pockets. I used some sewing themed paper from Carta Bella, added my photos and then my stamped images.

I cut the coordinating SVG outlines with my Cricut Expore, stamped them with Memento Ink and coloured them in with Prismacolor Markers. This little girl from the Happy Crafting set is so cute! I love how she can hold whatever crafty supplies up I choose!

I gently curved this Scrapbooking stamp while on the acrylic block so it would fit on my arrow sticker.

The Sew Amazing set was perfect to layer on this sewing themed journaling card! 

Here's a look at these stamp sets:

Let's Fall In Love!

Well, it really is still technically summer, but we have evidence of the fall season all around us - school is back this week, the leaves are just hinting at turning golden yellow and there are so many cute fall stamps and papercrafting products that it's hard not to get just a wee bit excited!

When you see this adorable Harvest Happiness stamp set from Pretty Cute Stamps you'll see what I mean! I just love it - it's not just the super sweet little boy scarecrow, but there's also a sweet little girl scarecrow in this set! And, of course all the fun fall accessories - a cornstalk, hay bale and sunflower to name a few along with all the awesome sentiments....

 Harvest Happiness

I love this sweet sentiment in the set that I stamped on the front of my card - and I felt like this scarecrow couple just needed to share their love! The zig zag stitching was done with the stamp from the Sew Amazing set - it made the perfect outline around the border of my background, and the heart comes from that set too. I used some Perfect Pearls mist to spritz a bit of shimmer onto my card after I had everything placed where I wanted.

I coloured the images in with Prismacolor Markers after stamping on white cardstock I used a black pen to add some vines to the pumpkins, added some glittery Stickles and used foam dots to pop up some elements on the card.

I used the pumpkins from the Little Pumpkins set - one of my Fall 'must have' sets!

Inside, I stamped another sentiment inside a pumpkin, added another heart button and one of these awesome cornstalk stamps.

Here's a look at the other two sets I used:

Stitched With Love!

Happy Monday everyone! I'm sharing a card over at the Pretty Cute Stamps blog today - using one of the new sets from the June/July release Sew Amazing. I love all the fun little details that come with this set!! I used the straight stitch stamp around the edge of some Cosmo Cricket paper using Vintage Photo Distress Ink. Then I stamped some buttons on patterned paper circles before punching out with a circle punch. I added a sweet vintage looking patterned image from the paper pack that I 'glittered' the edges of and then popped up my buttons to surround it.

The sewing machine image was stamped from the Sew Amazing set onto a tag that was part of the paper pack as well as on some patterned paper, which I then cut out and glued to my tag. I dipped the bottom of my tag into glitter to add a fun effect, and then I stamped a sentiment from the set under my tag. I love the script on this stamp!

I used the zig zag stamp from the set as well as some more buttons and another sentiment to the inside before edging with some Distress Ink.

Here's a look at this awesome set!
