It's time for a new challenge at Your Next Stamp!

The theme this time is

BLOCKS!

  

I thought this was the perfect chance to use some of the baby block print paper from the Sweet Baby 6x6 Paper Pad.

There are blue sheets and pink sheets, so of course I had to use one of each!

   

  

I colored up a couple of elephants from the Stacked with Fun stamp set... I love using these animals for baby cards!

Keeping with the "block" theme, I made square cards, and cut the various layers with my Stitched Square Dies, and Stitched Square Frame Dies.  

   

  

Just for a little variation, I added a tiny pink bow to the elephant on the girl card. The sentiments on both cards are from the All Aboard Bouncing Baby stamp set.

   

      

  

Elephants - T4, T3, T2, T1, T0

Ears - R30, R000, R0000

 

Now it's your turn! How will you include "blocks" on you creation??

I have a very simple card to share, and I think it can be used for just about any occasion... I think I'll whip up a few more of these to have in my stash!

        

      

These cute flowers are one of the "extras" you get with the You're a Hoot Digital Stamp at Tiddly Inks. Some of the digital sets come with additional images, so you really get a bang for your buck!

      

       

     I printed the flower image large enough to fill most of the card front, and colored it with Copics. The white layer is cut with Stitched Rectangle Dies, and matted with bright green cardstock to tie in the color from the flowers. That panel is popped up, and finished off with a little bit of my favorite twine - May Arts Natural Burlap String.

Flower Petals - T1, C00

I colored her with Copics, and paired her with Simple Stories Daily Grind Papers.

It's my turn to share some June Release Inspiration over on the Your Next Stamp Blog!

I am featuring the new Tweet Spring Birds set!

   

  

This set is ADORABLE and perfect for making cute scenes!

   

    

I colored up the branches, and paper-pieced the little birdie to create a simple scene. The sentiment is from the Make Some Noise Stamp Set, stamped onto a speech bubble from the Talk Bubbles and Arrows Die Set... I just trimmed a larger bubble down to fit the sentiment.

There is still one more week to play along in the Shake It Up Challenge at Your Next Stamp!

  

Sooo... shakers are not my favorite style of card to make. I think they look amazing when OTHER PEOPLE make them, but I struggle! So, with our most recent move, when I purged some craft supplies, I got rid of ALL my sequins and shaker fillers! Oops! Now I'm in a small town, with no craft supply stores... what's a shaker card maker to do??

I raided my sons robot tool kits!! (Shhh!) Those tiny nuts were just the right size!

  

     

I colored up the funny handy man from the Nailed It! Stamp Set, and a few screw drivers, then cut them all out with the coordinating dies. The colored elements added a little extra POP to the shaker.

The nuts and bolts paper is from the DCWV Boyhood Stack, and is cut with the Stitched Rectangle Dies. The frame for the shaker is cut from the Stitched Rectangle Frames Dies.
