Celebrate with PPRS

Hi everyone, I don't know about you but this month has flown by so fast!!  I can't believe July is around the corner.  Here is my project for today, using some fun stamps and coordinating dies from Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps.  For the layout of the card I have used sketch #245 from Mojo Monday, very fun sketch to work with.  

I used the flower image from "Hibiscus 2" clear stamp set, I stamped 3 flowers on white cardstock with pearlescent purple ink and cut with the coordinating die.  The sentiment and flower spray are from "Spring Scalloped Circles" clear stamp set, I cut the scalloped circle twice, once from patterned paper and once from cardstock, I stamped the flower sprays with purple ink and the sentiment with black ink, also added some stickles to the little flowers and the petals on the flower.

Here is the sketch I used for inspiration.

Thank you so much for stopping by and until next time.

Monday with PPRS

Hi everyone, hope you all had a great weekend.  It's Monday and time to share some Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps inspiration with you.  Today I have this card I based on a great sketch over at "The Deconstructed Sketch".  I started by cutting the scalloped oval from cream cardstock and stamped the birdie image from the "Scalloped Oval" clear stamp set with black ink.  

Here is a closeup of the image, I used some tea dye distress ink to shade the image and adhered with pop dots to the orange die cut shape.  

 And here is the sketch I used for inspiration for the layout.

Thank you for stopping by today, hope you enjoyed my project.

Monday with PPRS

Hi everyone, good Monday morning.  Today I have a fun and colorful card featuring this beautiful butterfly image from Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps.

The butterfly image and sentiment are from the "Dragonflies 2" clear stamp set.  I stamped the image with VersaMark ink and heat embossed with black detail embossing powder on white cardstock.  I then blended four distress ink colors to create the colorful background.

I accented the design with the ribbon and tiny adhesive rhinestones to coordinate the colors on the stamped image.

 I used this wonderful sketch by Iwona (Chupa) for the inspiration of my card.

Thank you so much for stopping by, until next time.

Prickley Pear Inspiration

Hi everyone, hope you are having a wonderful Memorial Day.  Here is my card today with some Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps inspiration.  I used some of the new clear stamp images, very fun to work with.

The panel with the green border I made by using the border image from the "Scalloped Oval" set, I used green ink and stamped the border halfway off the panel.  I also used a small flower from "Hibiscus 2" and stamped it with yellow ink to create a background.  For the flower I used the large hibiscus and leaf images from "Hibiscus 2" which were stamped on patterned paper, cut with the coordinating dies and shaped with embossing tools.  The sentiment is from the "Dragonflies 2" set.

I used this fun sketch from SCS for the layout of my card.

Heartfelt Creations Wednesday

Hi everyone, welcome to our Wednesday inspiration post with Heartfelt Creations.  My card today features some of the new stamps and coordinating dies from the "Old English Garden" collection.  I absolutely love the beautiful vintage images and gorgeous flowers on this collection.  For this card I went with the soft colors and vintage feel.

I stamped the teacup on Gina K cardstock and colored with Spectrum Noir markers.

The flowers I stamped on patterned paper, the leaves I stamped on soft green paper and cut everything with the coordinating dies.  I used embossing tools to shape the flower and leaves giving them some dimension.

Here is another closeup of one of the flowers, I placed adhesive pearls and pearl swirls as a final touch.

And here is the inspiration for the layout of my card, another fantastic sketch from Card Patterns.

Thank you so much for visiting today, hope you have a fantastic day.

Heartfelt Creations Inspiration

Hi everyone, hope everyone is having a great week so far.  Today I have a card I made with this beautiful image and die from Heartfelt Creations, I made it a  while back but forgot to post it.  I started by embossing a couple of strips of patterned paper with an embossing folder and shading the embossed areas with distress ink.

I stamped this wonderful image from "Outside My Window" set on kraft cardstock with embossing ink and heat embossed with white detail embossing powder, I cut and embossed the image with a Spellbinders die, making sure to add some shading with distress ink before I removed the die from the cardstock.  I used the "Decorative Chateau Gate" die for the decorative swirls at the top and bottom of the stamped image.

This is the sketch I used as inspiration for the layout of my card.

Thank you so much for stopping by and hope you have a wonderful and creative day.

PPRS March Sketch Challenge

Welcome to our monthly sketch challenge with Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps.  Here is our fun sketch this month, hope it inspires everyone to get some cardmaking and stamping done.

For my card I have used this adorable little image called "Bunny with Egg" wich I paired with the "Floral Egg" image released last year.

I stamped the bunny image twice, once with black ink the other with embossing ink and embossed it with kaleidoscope embossing powder.  The bunny stamped with black ink Icolored with Spectrum Noir markers and cut with scissors, for the heat embossed bunny I only cut out the egg and shaded with pink ink.  I stamped the eggs tree times and heat embossed, cut with scissors and shaded with ink, I then adhered everything with pop dots.

The sentiment is from Crafty Secrets, I covered the whole piece with embossing ink and heat embossed with kaleidoscope embossing powder to give it a fun sparkle.

PPRS February Sketch Challenge

Good morning everyone, welcome to our monthly sketch challenge with Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps.  Here is my creation, instead of making a card I used the sketch to make this fun tag featuring the "Gears" clear stamp set and coordinating die.  I created the background design on the tag by stamping the "Steampunk Locomotive" image several times with embossing ink and heat embossed with detail clear embossing powder, I then applied a couple of different distress inks and shaded the tag.

I made all the gears by cutting with the PPRS "Gears" die from cream colored cardstock, I stamped all the images with embossing ink and heat embossed with detail clear embossing powder, I used distress inks to shade the gears.

 I adhered the gears with different thickness pop dots and added some metal gears and gold adhesive pearls.

 Here is the fun sketch from Nicole.

Everyone is welcome to participate on the challenge, you are not required to use a PPRS image as long as you follow the sketch.  Make sure to link your entry by February 29th. on the PPRS Blog.  One lucky participant will be randomly selected and will receive a $15.00 gift certificate to the PPRS online store.
