Stampin' In Alaska

  Beccy's Place is featuring a cute critter digital set this month called Pond Pals.  I had so much fun coloring and creating with this set! My first project features the pre-colored seal image from the set in a Faux Center Step card design.  The image was printed directly onto the glacier background.  I printed the seal a second time, fussy cut, and adhered with dimension tape.  Snowflake dies from My Favorite Things with gems and Stickles serve as embellishment. I came across the Faux Center Step card tutorial recently.  It was so easy and I like the dimension it provides.  You can find the tutorial HERE .  The card dimensions and scoring instructions are below for convenience. The super cute hippo image was enlarged printed directly onto kraft card stock.  He was colored with Prismacolor pencils and layered simply onto designer paper with a few gems. Be sure to stop by Beccy's Place store to find this set and many others.  Beccy als...

  Beccy has outdone herself again this month with the Rainy Days digital set that is perfect for so many occasions.  All images come in .png format to allow for resizing and merging with other digital images. The silhouette images were printed onto white card stock.  Inky splatters were added to both cards.  The second card includes a sponged heart stencil.  I created the stencil by using a Spellbinder heart die.  The "negative" was layered over the image and ink was sponged. Both cards use card stock and designer paper from Stampin' Up!  A few gems and ribbon finish the birthday card. I hope you've enjoyed today's inspiration and will head over to Beccy's Place Store to view all of her adorable sets.   Beccy also generously provides many free digital images, tutorials, videos and card fold ideas.  You can find a list of retailers who sell Beccy's clear stamp sets on her blog as well. I would like to share my projects with the followi...

  There is still time to join the March challenge at Beccy's Place .  It's always Anything Goes with one of Beccy's digital or clear stamps.  Beccy also provides an adorable freebie each month which can be used, but is not required. I love Beccy's critters and the new March digital set Flockstar was a must-have!  This set includes four adorable flamingos and five coordinating sentiments.  Both pre-colored and B&W images are included in the set.   Beccy has the most beautiful pre-colored images!  I have merged three of the flamingos and layered a coordinating sentiment using Microsoft Word for my card. I chose to use the BINGO card options of Emboss, Digital Image and Stitches.  The base panel is an inked tropical leaf emboss folder that I purchased at Michael's years ago.  The image panel was die cut with a wonky stitched die.  A few pink gems finish the card. Be sure to check out all of the fun digital images in Beccy's online...

  Beccy has created an adorable holiday set for anyone sending Sandy Christmas wishes!  Whether you live in a warm climate (or like me) wish that you did!  The new Sandy Christmas digital contains three adorable sandy snowmen and five coordinating sentiments. My first project is a set a gift tags and came together so quickly by using the pre-colored images included in the set.  I love the soft color combination that Beccy used for the sweet sandy snowmen.  I knew right away they would be perfect for gift tags! The second card features Steve and was colored with Copic markers.  Hero Arts sand embossing powder was applied to the snowman and beach.  The image was layered simply onto papers from Echo Park Paradise Beach paper pad. A shaker card design features Shazza (I love how Beccy gives all of her characters a fun name!) and was colored with Copic markers.  Die cut palm tree and sun fill out this sunny holiday beach scene.  Be sure to stop by...
