Guest Designer for Pink and Main!!

Hello my crafty friends!  I'm back - easing my way into crafting again!

How thrilled I was to be accepted as a Guest Designer for the Pink and Main blog! 

Please go check them out and be sure to stop in their store - what adorable stamps they

have!

I was sent two sweet stamp sets to design with.  Let's start with this CUTE set called 

"Chews You"!  

When I saw this little cutie on this set, I knew I just HAD to create something with her!

Let's take a look at my card and then I'll give you a few details!

I decided to create a card using the little girl who has blown a big bubble from her bubble gum

and it looks like it POPPED on her!   Ohhh, how I remember having that happen a million times when I was young.  

(Yes, I CAN remember --- no, it wasn't THAT long ago thank you very much!!)

I loved the sentiment stamp - You Blow me away!  It is especially fun because you can color in the word BLOW!  

I used my Cuttle Bug to create a background full of dots and then layered my main image on

a design cut from my Cricut to make her stand out.  I not only layered the little girl, but then 

also popped up the entire background she is on as well!

How I love dimension in my projects! 

Here's another look at my completed card!

Here is a link to this adorable stamp set in the Pink and Main Store:

For my next two projects - - I used the super beautiful stamp set called "Inspire".

Ohhh, how pretty are the butterflies on this set! 

I made my first card from this set using the 3 butterflies on the top left side of the stamp set. 

I stamped each image on to cardstock that was similar in color to the inks I used.

Inked the edges to make them Pop a little.

I cut simple strips of paper and layered them with a very thin ribbon.

I used foam layering squares to pop up those squares with the butterflies to really

make them the focal points.

Added a "diamond gem" to the strips to give a little bling!

I cut out a cute butterfly shape to place my sentiment from this set inside my card

And that completed project #2!

You can find this set at the Pink and Main store right here:

And for my final project today - one more design from the same "Inspire Set".  You can make SO many things out of the sets from Pink and Main!

I created another card using the largest image in this set.

I love how it has the pretty font repeated over and over on the entire butterfly!
It says "Spread Your Wings".

I played around with many different colors of ink and finally settled on this one.

Again, because I love dimension - I folded the wings up and gave them a little bit of a curved shape before gluing it onto my card base.

I added some Liquid Pearls trailing behind the butterfly as it was "flying" across my card front!

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the sentiments on this set.  Just love the font they chose!  

Here's just a couple more views of this card:
