Hello, crafty friends. Today I have an adorably fun Valentine creation to share with you using the Nuts & Bolts stamp set.
I have to admit that I am a sucker for holiday themed stamp sets so this set was on my "A" list. I mean, who doesn't love (and remember) all the Valentines we traded at grade school, right? I loved opening them up to see who it was from and what Valentine they chose for me. Remember those days? lol
The Nuts & Bolts stamp set is great stamp set for Valentines Day projects but can also be used for birthdays. I love these sentiments!!
For today's creation, I chose the cute robot holding a heart. I think all three are cute, but the robot with the heart is extra cute. :)
After stamping him using Memento Black ink, I colored him using Smoky Slate and Real Red Stampin' Blends and then hand cut him out. Next, I stamped a partial image of him (focusing on the heart area) and stamped a few more hearts on a piece of scrap paper and colored them with a Real Red Stampin' Blend. Finally, I hand cut these hearts out.
After adhering my second heart onto my robot, I added some Shimmery Crystal Effects over the heart to make it more festive.
My robot, remaining hearts and sentiment were added to my completed card front using Dimensionals.
My card design follows this weeks new sketch challenge at Sunday Stamps! by me!

Happy Sunday! Right now I am knee deep in making decorations for my daughter's upcoming baby shower next weekend and the theme is Winnie the Pooh! lol :) I am going to be a grandma for the first time and all I can say is that I am really is exciting! I forced myself to clear off my stamping table (well actually just push stuff away) and created a floral card for this weeks new challenge at Sunday Stamps! The Impressions a Bloom Bundle is one of my newest favorite sets and I really have not had time to create with all of the very many different ways you can with this set. Here's my 2nd go. Soft pastel colors? Count me in! And these petals exemplify the softness you can achieve with the Impressions a Bloom . For these flowers, I stamped 2 in Peach Pie ink followed by Timid Tiger ink. The 3rd flower was stamped using Fresh Freesia ink. I first stamped off onto scratch paper and then used full strength for the detailed/outline stamp. Next, I d...
It's Sunday and today starts another new challenge at Sunday Stamps! Yahoo! I love card challenges because it makes you think outside the box and at the same time gives you something to create with whether it be a color challenge or a sketch challenge. For this weeks creation, I focused on the new Online Exclusive Bundle called Perfectly Pears . This bundle is part of a suite and the products in the suite are gorgeous. For this particular creation, I focused on the adorable set of pears and a few of the coordinating dies. I stamped the outline set of pears image using Pecan Pie ink and then stamped the solid part of the pear image using Darling Duckling ink which also had some Timid Tiger ink sponged onto it as well. I then took my Darling Duckling and my Timid Tiger Stampin' Blends and outlined some of the edges of the pears to add more depth to each Pear. Next, I colored the leaves and stem using Old Olive, Mossy Meadow and Pecan Pie Stampin' Blends...
