CLEAR DOLLAR STAMPS AUGUST SNEAK PEEKS DAY 3

This is Day Three for August Sneak Peeks from CLEAR DOLLAR STAMPS! I just love this stamp set that I was able to preview called WELCOME LITTLE ONE. It is just darling.

My first card I went with pink for a little girl. The Baby Buggy was stamped three times and cut out and popped up on dimensionals as seen better in the photo below.

The grid pattern background was created using my scor pal.

Card Supplies:

Stamps: Clear Dollar Stamps ~ Welcome Little One

Paper: SU Blushing Bride, Whisper White, Basic Grey Bittersweet DSP

Ink: SU Blushing Bride, Pink Pirouette, Basic Grey, Baja Breeze

Accessories: Scor Pal, SU Scalloped Trim Border Punch, SU Large Oval & Scalloped Oval Punches, SU White Ribbon, Dimensionals, Pink Brads, Bow Easy, Blender Pen, Crystal Stickles, Spellbinders Oval Nesties

My second card I decided to use the sweet little teddy bear and blocks. I wanted to create a more neutral color scheme, so I could give this card to someone who just found out they were pregnant.

I used the block stamp to create my own dsp on the top portion of the card. The little bear and blocks were stamped and cut out and popped up on dimensionals.

I love the sentiment I used that comes with this stamp set too.....

ONE GOOSE, TWO GEESE, RED GEESE, BLUE GEESE

Wow, it has been forever since I have been able to play along with any challenges! Summer is going so fast and is so busy!!

Here is a card I made for today's Clean & Simple Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers. We were to be inspired by the childrens book, One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish. I love Cat in The Hat and always read them to my son.

I was inspired by the colors for my card. I pulled out some Pacific Point and Riding Hood Red.

I used The Stamp of The Month for July from CLEAR DOLLAR STAMPS called Goose Hugs. I think it is the sweetest. Since this was a CAS Challenge I opted to just color in the beaks and feet of the geese and a little bowtie.

Card Supplies:

Stamps: Clear Dollar Stamps ~ July SOM Goose Hugs

Paper: SU Whisper White, Pacific Point, Riding Hood Red

Ink: Pacific Point, Riding Hood Red

Accessories: Pacific Point ribbon, SU Circle Punch, Spellbinders Circle Nesties, Paper Piercer, Riding Hood Red Taffeta ribbon, Copic Marker
