Sparkle Creations Stamps

 I had so much fun doing this month's designs!  Sparkle is such a wonderful artist and we are lucky she has decided to share her designs in rubber.  I couldn't resist the cute Hula girl with her pretty grass skirt!  The edging looks like grass, but it is really a die cut that is supposed to fold into a medallion.  Fun, huh!  Tiny adhesive pearls top her lei and hairpiece.
This gal is adorable!  I added a pretty flower border and used the Viva Pearl Paints to dot each flower center!  
 This lil' guy is my favorite (and I like the little boy, too, ha ha!)  Who can resist a cute kitty and I had fun using my pretty Basic Grey 6x6 pad from the Konnichiwa line to add some pattern to the background.
 This girl is all dressed up in her best kimono!  All she needed to accessorize was a bit of beautiful washi paper and coloring with my favorite Copic colors.

I love boots, and this stamp from Great Impressions is no exception. And the words, also from Great Impressions, fits me perfectly! The Boots are #G754S and the words are #E752S. I used Nestabilities Labels 18 to cut the shapes, and a Sizzix embossing folder for the white panel. The boots are colored using Copic markers.


Also from Great Impressions is this Birthday stamp, #G395S. I stamped it using a rosy pink ink pad so tried to match the background paper and card stock. Flowers were punched out a long time ago, so I don't remember who made the punch.

And last from Great Impressions is this darling bear stamp. The saying is on the inside, but it says "Trying to count the ways you're so special, But I ran out of fingers and toes." Bear is #E753S and words are #D443S. I used Nestabilities Labesl #15 and colored the bear using Copic markers.

Non-Valentine Heart Cards

Although Valentine's Day has come and gone, I am still making cards with hearts on them. Hearts are one of my favorite things. I tried to make these cards in a non-Valentine theme using different colors for the card stock, and hopefully the words work for different occasions. The first card is "Here's My Heart" and uses Memory Box Die Style 98253 "Sofia Heart" and Studio G Clear Stamps for the words.



The next card "Happy Hearts to You" uses another Memory Box Die Style 98279 "Twirled Heart Border", and the words are computer generated.


And the third card "My Heart is Yours" uses a Memory Box Die Style 98255 "La Rue Heart" and the words are Inky Antics 11079MC "Heart Benton". The background is a Sizzix embossing folder "Swiss Dots".
