Queen & Company’s Pumpkin Shaker Kit

Hello everyone.  🙂  Today I thought I’d share three cards I created using Queen & Company‘s Pumpkin Shaker Kit. How is it even possible that fall is right around the corner? In some respects this year has dragged and in others, it seems to be flying by.

The Pumpkin Shaker Kit includes the pumpin shaker die, pumpkin outline die, a 2″ x 3″ stamp set, four foam/acetate shakers, four shaped cardstock bases and four envelopes. The finished size is approximately 4 3/4″ x 4″.  The kit is very easy and so much fun! I also recommend Sheer Glue as the perfect adhesive for embellishments and especially acetate.

On my first card, I paired the shaker with Happy Harvest patterned paper.  The paper pad has the perfect mix of lively patterns for the inside and solid patterns for the outline and stem.

Inside I placed a mix of orange and green buttons, Sequin Confetti and Pastel Diamonds. The buttons are also available in a collection of all  seven colors HERE.

Next I used the Pumpkin Shaker kit and Hocus Pocus patterned paper to create a Halloween shaker.

Inside I used Bitty Buttons in black, orange and yellow, Pops, Sequin Confetti and Gems. On the stem, I used black string and an Orange Flower button. A collection of all eight packages of pretty Flower Buttons can be found here and nine packages of Bitty Buttons here.

Lastly, I created a more traditionally colored shaker pumpkin using Special Delivery paper pad.

Inside I placed orange and yellow Bitty Buttons with orange and white Pops.  I die-cut two flagged strips, stamped the sentiment and adhered to the pumpkin outline using hemp cord.

You can find a large assortment of shaker kits HERE. Refills too!

Queen & Company’s Under the Sea Shaker Kit

Hi everyone! Today I’m sharing a couple cards I created using Queen & Company‘s super cute Under the Sea Shaker Kit.  It’s definitely at the top of my list of favorite kits. Included are 16 dies, a 6″ x 6″ paper pad, 4″ x 6″ stamp set, 27 foam and acetate shakers and 13 toppings. Most of the ingredients are also available as refills HERE.

Queen & Company Under the Sea Shaker Kit

How cute is that mermaid?  I especially like the little detail of the slit in her hair into which her head/body is inserted.

All of the toppings I added to the shaker are included in the kit. As an extra, I added those beautiful Sea Stone embellishments. I *love* them. They’re available in a bundle of eight colors (ALL lovely) or individually. I used purple.  I also added a sprinkling of Jelly Gems. The tiny white dots on the shell were added using my Kirarina Wink White Pearl pen.

Next, I used the cute crab. To cut the wavy lines I used one of the four dies from Curvy Borders.

What happens under the keg…

Hello everyone! TGIF?  Does it even matter that it’s Friday? All of my days are the same. Anyway…

I have four cards to share today, one for Stamping Bella‘s weekly challenge and three extras I posted to Instagram this week.  All were stamped onto X-Press It Blending Card and colored with Copic markers.

Note: Use code PAPERCUTS15 (not case sensitive) to save 15% when checking out at X-Press It (Blending Card/adhesives) or Marker Universe.

This week’s challenge with Stamping Bella was to create using images from the latest release. I chose Two Gnomes and a Keg. I don’t drink beer but I love the sentiment.

Copic markers – BG72, BG75, BG78, E000, E00, E04, E07, E08, E09, E11, E21, E30, E31, E33, E35, E50, E51, E53, E71, E74, E77, E79, G24, G40, G43, R01, R02, W00, W1, W2, W3, W4, W7

I used my MISTI to stamp the sentiment in black and teal. The pretty plaid paper is from Queen & Company‘s Vintage Truck-Sweater Weather paper pack.

The card above uses super cute Elves with Treats from The Littles Christmas Collection. I paired the image with a Festive Gnome sentiment and Queen & Company‘s All Bundled Up paper. I *love* the striped pink epoxy dots, also available in a set of eight colors.

Stamping Bella Gnome in a Tree

Copic markers – B93, B95, B97, B99, E000, E00, E04, E11, E21, E30, E31, E33, E35, E37, E50, E53, E55, E79, G21, R14, R32, RV42, W0, W1, W2, W3, YG63, YG97, YG99, 0.3 Brown Copic Multiliner

Next I used Gnome in a Tree. The image comes with the sentiment I used above. I added in a few leafy branches from Taylored Expressions’ Bloomers Greenery, adhered over Queen & Company‘s Vintage Truck-Sweater Weather patterned paper and lastly, I added a few faux cross-stitches.

Stamping Bella Oddball Bird/Friendship Sentiment

Copic markers – E31, E33, E35, E37, E40, Y11, Y13, Y15, Y38, YR04, YR27

A Little Bits Line Dance

Hello everyone. I hope your week is going well.

It’s time for another challenge with Stamping Bella! My card today is based off of the inspiration photo found at the bottom of this post.  I chose to go with the color combo (as opposed to a theme).

Stamping Bella The Littles Ice Cream & Lemonade

I used the cute girl from The Littles Ice Cream & Lemonade. After stamping the first girl onto X-Press It Blending Card, I masked her with a Post It Note then stamped the rest, moving the mask as I went along.

Note: Use code PAPERCUTS15 (not case sensitive) to save 15% when checking out at X-Press It (Blending Card/adhesives) or Marker Universe.  I know that Blending Card is currently sold out in many places. If I hear an update, I will let everyone know.

I added a few sparkly orange Jelly Gems from Queen & Company and stamped a sentiment from Celebrate and Congratulate.

Staming Bella The Littles Little Bits Fairy and Little Bits Floral sets

Also this week, I shared the above card on Instagram using The Littles Little Bits Fairy and Little Bits Floral sets with a Chocolate sentiment. After assembling the pieces, I added a few white Petite Posies. (They’re even more sparkly than the Jelly Gems. So pretty.)

Wish I Had a Hammock

Hello everyone. Another Friday has arrived which means it’s time for another Stamping Bella challenge.  You may recall that Flowery Gnome is 50% off this month. Today the team is sharing samples using other images from the Gnomes category.

I chose Gnome in a Hammock, and oh how I wish I had a hammock…and the time to lounge in a hammock. Someday.  🙂

The Friends We Meet Along the Way

Hello everyone.  Happy Friday.  🙂  I hope your week has gone well.

Today the Stamping Bella team is revisiting older images. I chose one of my favorite Tiny Townie Garden Girls to also practice my no line coloring. Speaking of no line coloring, has anyone tried Inkon3 Fadeout No Line Coloring Detail Ink? I saw it for the first time today. I’m thinking about giving it a whirl.

Stamping Bella Tiny Townie Garden Girl Lily of the Valley

Copic markers – B0000, B000, B00, B01, B12, C00, C1, C2, E000, E00, E04, E11, E21, E31, E35, E37, G09, G28, R01, Y21, YG05, YG06, YG09; Kirarina Wink White Pearl pen

I adore Garden Girl Lily of the Valley. All of the Garden Girls are cute, but this one I think is my favorite. I stamped in a light tan ink, colored with Copic markers and then added tiny white dots with my Kirarina Wink White Pearl pen. The Friendship sentiment is from the latest release.  Once complete, I adhered to a panel of Under the Sea patterned paper.

Stamping Bella Beer Gnomes

Copic markers – E000, E00, E04, E07, E08, E09, E11, E21, E23, E25, E27, E29, E31, E42, E43, E50, E51, E53, W00, W1, W2, W3, YG91, YG93, YG95, YG97, YG99

Also this week, I posted the above card in Instagram. These little Beer Gnomes crack me up. I’m not a fan of beer, but I like them just the same. After coloring, I adhered over Petite Patterns patterned paper and cross-stitched the sentiment strip along the one side.

NEXT WEEK’S CHALLENGE

Use an image from the same category as the July Stamp of the Month, Flowery Gnome (which is 50% off through 7/31/2020). In other words, use any image from the Gnomes category.  All challenge details can be found HERE.

Lottie’s Gang Birthday Squad (Purple Onion Designs)

Hello everyone! Today I’m sharing a card using a really sweet stamp set from Purple Onion Designs, Lottie’s Gang-Birthday Squad by Julian Charlton. I think the image is so different and so cute.  The set includes six sentiments so that’s very nice too!

Purple Onion Designs Lottie's Gang Birthday Squad

The card was for my daughter’s best friend who requested one of my card’s this year. I love her. 

Purple Onion Designs Lottie's Gang Birthday Squad (close-up)

Copic markers – B23, B25, B28, B29, BG10, BG70, E000, E00, E04, E07, E08, E09, E15, E30, E31, E35, E37, E51, E53, R24, R29, R39, R83, R85, RV00, RV11, RV32, W00, W1, W2, Y21

I stamped onto X-Press It Blending Card then colored with Copic markers. I created a tiny hair tie using a leaf die. Dots on the package were added using a Kirarina Wink White Pearl pen. And I used more old patterned paper.

Best Wishes From the Whole Herd

Hello crafty friends.  🙂  I hope your week is going well. Today I’m sharing three cards I created using images or sentiments from Stamping Bella‘s latest release. All are stamped onto X-Press It Blending Card and colored with Copic markers.

Here I’ve used the cow from cute Oddball Farm Animals with a sentiment from Down on the Farm.  After stamping/masking and coloring, I added a die-cut flower to the ears and adhered a yellow enamel dot to each center. To add a bit more interest, I tied a gingham bow around the exposed tail.

Stamping Bella Snapshots I Heart You/I Miss Your Face Sentiment set

Copic markers – E000, E00, E04, E21, E31, E34, E35, E37, E47, E51, E53, E57, E77, E79, R01, R02, W00, W1, W2, Y21
