Fluffy Kisses - Lili of the Valley Stamps

 

Here's another card using the Fluffy Kisses stamp set from Lili of the Valley Stamps.  Love these sweet little guys!

The image is coloured using Copics and dabbing a cloth spritzed with rubbing alcohol on it to lift the ink and get a bit of texture.  The circle dies are from Lisa Horton's Scalloped Circle set.

Little Rose - Lili of the Valley Stamps

The newest Lili of the Valley polymer stamp set is called Fluffy Kisses and is adorable and suitable for Valentines Day, Easter and any occasion.

I used some pretty floral paper from Honey Bee Stamps and the die is called Happy Christmas, also by Honey Bee.  I've had the die forever but can't locate it on the site so I expect it's been discontinued.

I coloured the bunnies and then spritzed some rubbing alcohol on a textured cloth and pressed down on the ink to get some spotty bits of fluff.

LOTV January Release






I am behind on posting... I don't know where my time goes to but I am definitely not managing it too well. I decided the best thing for me to do is to try to catch up by posting my four cards at once and hope I can get myself organized.

There are four new polymer stamp sets in the Etsy shop and they are so sweet and cute.

The first card uses the Dragons & Unicorns set and I like how rainbows and unicorns seem to be trending again because I can never get enough unicorn stamps. On this card, the background is Tumbled Glass, Stormy Sky, Kitsch Flamingo Distress Ink with Shabby White Frantage embossing powder.

Card 2 uses the Sweet Wishes set and I've also used MFT Stitched Collage Frame, Kitsch Flamingo distress ink, White paint, White Posca pen, SticklesHave a Mice Day is used on Card 3 plus Have a Mice Day, Paper Roses Happy Birthday die, Nellie's Stencil #MMSA6-016 and Lost Shadow distress ink


Card 4 also uses Have a Mice Day plus Lil Inker Designs Stitched Circles, Poppy Stamps Playful Hugs, Cheery Lynn Doily


The last set in the release is Sending Love but I do not have a card made with the set.

Cream Cake - LOTV

 

I needed a birthday card for a special someone and I love this cute Bunny pulling a whole wagonload of cake!  

The image is Lili of the Valley's Cream Cake digi stamp and the sentiment is from the Happy Circular Sentiment digi set.  I have a couple of these sets as stamps but really like the digital ones because I can resize however I need to.

Star of 2025 - All Dressed Up Stamps Challenge

 

Time for a new challenge at All Dressed Up Stamps and I've used Star of 2025 to make a birthday card for the grand having the first birthday in the new year.

I will be keeping this post very short.  It seems Christmas has snuck up on me and I am not nearly ready.  I thought I was but then both hubs and I got sick with that nasty cold that's going around.  I've had it for 3 weeks so I will be happy to see the back end of it!

Santa Snowman - Whippersnapper Stamps

Here is another old Whippersnapper Stamp I have gathered from my stash and this one is Santa Snowman.

I'm a little behind on my holiday cards so there's not a lot of variety and I do have a few days because Canada is in the midst of a postal strike.  It's been a couple weeks and there's no sign of a settlement yet.

I used Unchartered Mariner and Chipped Sapphire distress ink for the background, sprinkled and embossed with some Shabby Blue Frantage. The sentiment is Papertrey Ink's Larger Than Life Snow die.

Twigs - Whippersnapper Stamps


I've dug out a couple of stamps I've had for ages and ages and one of them is Twigs from Whippersnapper Stamps.  I have not purchased a stamp on a wood block for many years so that should tell you the stamp is old.  Fabulous red rubber which stamps perfectly the first time!

I used Unchartered Mariner and Chipped Sapphire distress ink for the background, sprinkled and embossed with some Shabby Blue Frantage.  The sentiment is Simon Says Stamp Clean Line Christmas.
