Penguin Palace - Rabbit Cafe - Stay Sweet!

Have you all checked out Penguin Palace? I ADORE THESE STAMPS!!!!

Today, I have 'Rabbit Cafe' for you all and I just loved working with these adorable images.  These stamps also come with coordinating dies.


I always like to experiment with what I currently have in my craft room, if you are like me, there is lots you haven't used or tried.  I thought it would be fun to use Memento Desert Sand to stamp out my images.  It is a very light ink and I stamped the images several times using my MISTI stamping tool.  I colored the images in with my lightest Copic Markers (the ones that end with 0000, 000, 00, 0) and I loved how the images looked (hard to photograph though, LOL).

I experimented with different backgrounds and with these light images, a simple background worked the best.  I used Distress Oxide ink in Spun Sugar and Antique Linen.  These are some of my go to inks.

I hope you enjoyed this card and I hope you check out Penguin Palace.  Amazing stamps, I love the quality, …

Pretty Pink Posh - Product Release Blog Hop - Day 2

Love this jam packed release filled with adorable critters, options for mothers and fathers day cards, graduations...a fabulous A2 sized Lattice die and great NEW stencils!



I used the following new products on my card today:
https://prettypinkposh.com/collections/whats-new/products/elephant-friends-stamp-set
https://prettypinkposh.com/collections/whats-new/products/mothers-day-stamp-set
https://prettypinkposh.com/collections/whats-new/products/wide-stripes-stencil

I wanted to create a different look using the Wide Stripes stencil by placing the stripes at the diagonal.  I created a pink themed stripe look with Distress Oxide ink in Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick and Picked Raspberry.  I cut down my striped panel with the Scallop Borders Dies to make room for my Happy Mother's Day sentiment from the Mothers Day Stamp Set.



I hope you like my card and give these cool stencils a try.  It makes a great pattern paper look that you can customize perfectly with your card design.

There are 4 $25 gift…

Hello Sweetums - Oceans of Encouragement

Rina here with an ocean themed card using the HelloSweetums “Oceans of Encouragement” stamp set.  I am having holiday crafting withdrawals, but I am also excited to start using non holiday color palettes! 
I created a background using Distress Oxide inks in Peacock Feathers, Mermaid Lagoon and Tumbled Glass.I added more texture to the background by splattering white paint.I then used copic markers to color in my images.
I had planned to tuck the ocean critters into waves on my background, but I had a hard time covering up these little cuties.Instead, I adhered them directly to the card making sure that the images faced different ways.I stamped out the sentiment on a strip of white paper and cut a fishtail on the end.
I finished off the card using the Inkon3 Liquid Pixie Dust to add shimmer to the images.I also added sequins for added shine.
Hope you try out this card, I absolutely adore the shark image, it is my FAVORITE!
Thanks for stopping by, Rina

Mama Elephant's #celebrating6years Anniversary Event

Happy Anniversary Mama Elephant!!
This release is super SPECTACULAR and I was so happy to work with the Cool Penguins stamp set!  The set comes with the most adorable penguins getting ready to wrap some holiday gifts.  I used the Basic Rectangles die set to create a window opening as these penguin friends are going to wrap their gifts together.  I also really adore the sentiment that comes with the stamp set.

I wanted to keep the coloring super simple on this card and used a few light colored Copic markers.  My favorite Copics are the ones that end in 0000 and 000 because I can achieve a light almost watercolor look.  
Here are the colors I used: B00, RV02, RV23, YR00, YR000

To finish off the card I wanted to add the star banner from the Sentiments from a Yeti stamp set, its one of my all time favorite stamps.  The set also comes with a banner that is oh so cute.  I love stars on a background and used the Lots of Stars Creative Cuts die.  I ink blended the background with Tattered Ros…

Sister Stamps Bunny Cards ft Pixie and Dixie

Welcome to Sister Stamps Release #29.


This release features adorable little animals that can be used to “peek” over elements on your card. I love how you can position your image in such a unique way.
As a side note I’m super honored that Jenny named two of the images after my own two babies, Buster and Peanut!!! 
I decided to use the “Pixie” and “Dixie” images and I decided to get creative with some Heidi Swapp Picturesque Project Life Cards to create the "meadow" background.  The elements on the project life cards were perfect as the circle and label details were already on the card.  Love how these cards transformed themselves.  I am also in love with the Mama Elephant word dies, they are the perfect size and font and added the touch I was looking for.


Here’s my YouTube video in case you missed it:


Hope you all enjoy and join me for my next project tomorrow!

Sister Stamps Vertical Step Card ft Peanut and Bobo

Welcome to Sister Stamps Release #29.


This release features adorable little animals that can be used to “peek” over elements on your card. I love how you can position your image in such a unique way.
As a side note I’m super honored that Jenny named two of the images after my own two babies, Buster and Peanut!!! 
I decided to use the “Peanut” and “Bobo” image and of course I was in a “Halloween” kind of mood, I used elements from the Simple Stories Frankie and Friends paper collection. This step card was easy to make (dimensions below) and I thought it made the perfect backdrop for the “peeking” quality of the stamps.  This card I chose to move it vertically so the peeking animals can look to the side, love the way this came out

As a side note I’m super honored that Jenny named two of the images after my own two babies, Buster and Peanut!!! 
Having recently moved and in between places, I didn’t have my whole craft arsenal with me, I am so pleasantly surprised at what I was able to come up with just a paper trimmer, patterned paper and adhesive (AND the stamps of course!)
I decided to use the “Buster” and “Boo Boo” image and of course I was in a “Halloween” kind of mood, I used elements from the Simple Stories Frankie and Friends paper collection.

Rainbow Ombre Card - Sister Stamps - Release 28 Kyana

Day 3!!!!! I really enjoyed working with these AMAZING stamps, getting me thinkin' about going to the beach!!!  Here is today's share using Kyana!!  I have been really inspired by color lately and wanted to make a bunch of tropical flowers in all sorts of rainbow ombre goodness.  I used some new inks I purchased and i love them, they are the Colorbok Paintbox in the Pastel theme (more like a light neon finish to me but beautiful vibrant colors nonetheless)  if you dont want to invest in tons of inkpads I highly recommend these as you can use them together or pop out individual inks to use just one color - VERY easy to use.  Back to Kyana, loved surrounding her with the flowers I created using the My Favorite Things Tropical Sensations stamp and die set.  The hello die cut is from Mama Elephant.  Hope you enjoy this card, make sure to make the most of this summer and see ya in the next release!!!
