"More that s'mores" exclusive limited edition set by HD for SSS - Stamptember event!

Hello there and welcome back to my blog! 

Today i'm happy to showcase the new exclusive limited edition set by Heffy Doodle for Simon Says Stamp: More than s'mores! 

Finally my set has arrived and as promised, here's some inspiration for u :)

I went for a fall themed card with that cute deer cause the first thing i tought was my color combo: i wanted to combine rich shades of oranges and browns.

First of all i created my pattern paper by inking some white cardstock with the Spiced Marmealde distress ink oxide, i let it dry and then i stamped it with the Cosy Plaid Background by Hello Blueburd.

I stamped all the images and i also added the speech bubble from the Whatcha sayin' set by HD.

I colored evertyhing with my copics and i cut them out - coordinated dies are avaiable too, but i didn't have them.

I created my cardbase out of white cardstock and lightly inked it up with the same orange ink used before. I cut out 2 stripes out of my handmade pattern paper and i glued them dow. 

I positioned all the other element and as i was happy with them i stamped/colored my sentiments.

I glued down all the images with a combo of liquid glue and foam tape and i added some details with a white gel pen.

Finally i glued down some sparkling clear sequins by Pretty Pink Posh to finish up my card.

Be sure to check the exclusive set *here* there are some left in stock :)

Hope you like my card and thank you so much for stopping by today!

"Happy Birthday" card - YNS Challenge 88!

Hello there and happy friday!

It's time for a new challenge at Your Next Stamp so grab a cup of coffe and take some time to be inspired! 

There are 2 options as usual: a card skecth and a color inspiration.

     

I always love to combine them both for extra fun! ihih!

Here's my take..

This little unicorn is soo super cute, perfect for a little birthday party!
First i created my card base and a coordinated panel out of some white cardstock, then i die cut a cirlce and a rectangle out of my panel, following the sketch inspiration.

I colored the fron of my card base with distress ink to make the colors pop out of my circle and rectangle windows.

I stamped my unicorn from the Unicorn Rocks stamp set, i colored it with copics and i cut it out. I also die cut the rainbow and those little clouds, using the new stand alone die, out of some white cardstock and i added some color with copics following the color inspiration.

I die cut a stripe of white cardstock in white and i colored it to be pink to create my center piece and i also die cut another little stripe for my sentiment from the Hobby Chicks stamp set.

Finally i glued down all the elements as u see them with a combo of liquid glue and foam adhesive and i added some clear sequins as embellishments.

Oh and of course i put some Wink of Stella on to my unicorn to make him extra sparkle! 

Be sure to pop over the Your Next Stamp blog to see all the inspiration from the other talented ladies of the team and all the details on how to partecipate. Enjoy the fun playing with us, you could win happy prizes!  

This card was os much fun to make, hope u like it and thank u so much for stopping by :)
