Today I have an excited news for you all! I officially can spill the bean 🙂 I am one of the member of Happy Little Stampers Design Team. Super excited to be part of this challenge blog team!

I am designing for one of their challenges called, Anything Goes With Dies. It is a NEW monthly challenge and they have another challenges that you can play all month long!

You can play along and link up your projects you created using any die cuts and to win a $15 Discount at HLS Shop. Go to the HLS Challenge Blog Here to read the full challenge rules.

And here’s my first project for Anything Goes with Dies – May Challenge using the Box – Nice and Neat Die (Neat and Tangled) and Diploma Day stamp set (Close To My Heart, retired):

After I cut the box using my WRMK – Evolution Advanced diecutting machine, I put it together using Tombow Aqua Mono Liquid Glue. I put couple clothes pins to hold the sides until they dried well. Then I added it on the card base using Scor-Tape. Then I added some tissues paper inside the box with some liquid glue to make sure it stays in place. I LOVE that tissue paper look but I thought the box needs something more.

So, I stamped some hats and scrolls from the Diploma Day stamp set using CTMH – Black Exclusive Ink Pad on the White Daisy cardstock. Then I fussy cut them using Non-Stick Micro-Tip Scissors. And using glue dots I added them like they throw out from the box. I finished it with some Clear Gems Sparkles and stamped the sentiment at the bottom of the box.

I hope you like the card as much as I do 😀 THANK YOU for stopping by today and have a fabulous day!

It is almost Mother’s Day! What a joy to make cards for special friends and families to celebrate how special they are. And today I have 4 Mother’s day card I would love to share with you.

I used the Mama’s and Grandma’s – April 2016 Sentiment Kit from Unity Stamp Company on all the cards:

For the card bases, I used the American Crafts Assortment card set. I found them at TJMaxx and they have pretty pattern background that I can just add embellishments and sentiment.

I added some vellum, paper doilies, and clear gems to embellished the cards. Some of the sentiments I heat-embossed them on black cardstock and vellum.

All these cards are on their way to some special moms that I know in my life. I thank God for them!

May is here and some of the May flowers are blooming everywhere. We love flowers and planning to plant more this year so we’ll have more blooms in the Summer 🙂

Welcome to the May Stamp Of The Month Blog Hop! Today I am joining a blog hop featuring May Stamp Of The Month: Celebrate With Cake. I am sharing couple cards using these new stamp set.

This month there are 33 participants on this blog hop. If you arrive from Maureen, you are on the right track 🙂 but if you are here first, you can continue hopping to the next blog to make the loop. Just in case you got lost, you can always go to HERE to see the full list of participants for this month blog hop.

In this May SOTM stamp set there are 17 stamps that you can use to build gorgeous cake to celebrate special events such as birthday, anniversary, wedding, or just a note to say how sweet they are to you. You can color the images using any mediums, like watercolor paints, watercolor pencils, markers, color pencils, or anything you use for coloring 🙂

And also, this month CTMH also release New Products and the idea book, Seasonal Expressions 2. So many new pretty stamps, papers and embellishments including lots of beautiful inspirations and projects shown in the new idea book.

From all new paper packets, I am in love with the Calypso paper packet. The colors and patterns beautiful. I made a card using the May SOTM and this paper:

The first card above, on a piece of Watercolor Paper, I stamped the cake images with VersaMark™ Ink Pad, added some Ranger™ Princess Gold Embossing Powder and then heat set them using Craft Heater. Then I colored the images with Watercolor Paints using the smallest brush from the Paintbrush Set.

On another piece of Watercolor Paper, I stamped and heat embossed some roses. Then, I used Non-stick Micro-tip Scissors to cut those little roses and added them on the cake using some glue dots.

I used Gypsy Cardstock as the mat and stamped the sentiment with Black Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad. The background paper is from one of the Calypso paper packet. Then I added the finished panel on the card base using adhesive runner.

And for the second card, I created the background by stamping the candle stamp using Black Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad.

On a piece of White Daisy Cardstock, I stamp the cake and candle with Memento Black Ink pad. I colored the cake using ShinHan™ Touch Twin™ Bronze Marker, ShinHan™ Touch Twin™ Clay Marker and ShinHan™ Touch Twin™ Barely Beige Marker. I started with the lightest color and worked on the shadow of layers and blended the 3 colors using the lightest one (Barely Beige). And for the candle, I colored it using ShinHan™ Touch Twin™ Carmine Marker, ShinHan™ Touch Twin™ Tender Pink Marker, ShinHan™ Touch Twin™ Marigold Marker and ShinHan™ Touch Twin™ Golden Yellow Marker. After that I cut them with my Non-stick Micro-tip Scissors then added them with 3d foam tape on the paper doily that I had glued on the card.

I stamped the banner and sentiment on White Daisy Cardstock with Black Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad, fussy cut it with Non-stick Micro-tip Scissors. I also cut the other banner tail so I can tuck it under the cake. I used adhesive runner to add the banner. Then I finished my card with some clear sparkle gems.

Sparkle and Shine Challenge #29

Today, I am still learning how to use vellum and acetates at Online Card Classes – Clear and Sheer. So many creative ways we can use them on our card-making projects.

I attachaed the vellum banner with hand-stitching using CTMH Stitching Guide and gold thread.

On that vellum banner, I stamped the images with VersaMark ink, added some Ranger Princess Gold Embossing Powder, and heat set them with my Craft Heater.

The vellum giftcard envelope I made using WRMK Envelope punch and used Tombow Vellum Adhesive runner to attach it inside the card.

I used the Vellum is from Bazzill Paper. And the card-base is from American Crafts.

The stamp set is from CTMH, Smarty Pants, one of the new stamp sets that will be released tomorrow ❤️
