I'd love to sea you again

 

I can not see a lobster without thinking of the Friends TV show..."You're her lobster" anyone else do the same?

I just love this super cute little stamp set from Create a smile called Sending Sunshine. I just couldn't resist pairing him with the stitched circle dies from Heffy Doodle and making the card into a shaker card using the Heffy Doodle foam sheets along with the thick acetate. I could die cut the same circle out of the foam and the acetate so that there are no little gaps in the foam making my shaker super secure.

For my shaker elements I used the new sparkle mix from Heffy Doodle called Covesea.

You're the best

This oddball from Stamping Bella really makes me smile so much. There is just something about these characters faces that I can not get enough of. I coloured up this Snow white and the seven dwarves stamp with copics for this card.

I am stretching those papers again using this Jolly Holidays paper from First Edition for something other than a Christmas card again.

 To finish this card off I have used the Heffy Doodle thanks word die and combined it with the "You're the best" sentiment stamp from the Heffy Doodle Teach me word stamp set. Then added a few Sprig of mistletoe Nuvo drops.

You don't look a day over fabulous

How adorable is this C.C. Designs cutie?? I think is is just the cutest :D She is from the Rockabilly Gals stamp set and I coloured her up with Copic markers. I used the blender pen to give her top some white dots.

The fun paper I have used with this card is actually a Christmas paper set but I really love it when you can stretch your stash and use things like papers for more than just one season. This paper is from the Jolly Holidays paper pack by First Edition. 

I really wanted to give it a little touch of shine so I used some double sided tape and gold foil from Stix2 to give the rectangle she is sat on a frame. Then I finished it with one of the sentiments from the Rockabilly Gals stamp set.

Stretch your stamps and use them with shrink plastic

This is such a fun and easy thing to do which stretches your stamps. You can use them with shrink plastic to make little charms which can then be added to jewellery or key rings etc. 

To create this bracelet and earrings set I stamped the super cute Merwees set 2 onto some frosted shrink plastic using Kraftin' Kimmies hybrid ink. I let that dry before then using coloured pencils to colour the mermaids on the rough side of the shrink plastic.  

Next I cut them out making a round bit above them so I could make a hole to be able to attach a jump ring (a little circle of metal wire) to so it can be fixed onto my bracelet or whatever I want.

Lastly you need to use your heat gun to shrink the plastic down. The plastic will shrivel up and fold in all kinds of ways so it is good to have a stamping block to hand the flatten it with when it has stopped shrinking. Another tip to stop the little image flying away when you blast it with a heat gun use tweezers or a pokey tool to put through the hole and hold the image in one spot on your heat mat as you heat it. Then just put the jump ring through the hole and you are good to go.

Handyman Henry

This great fun stamp is from C.C.Designs and is called Handyman Henry I coloured him up with spectrum noir tri-blend markers. I used up scraps of card and patterned paper that I had saved for this card. I think the yellow check paper from Time For Tea's Rainbow brights paper pack really works well with this guy :) 

I hand drew some little screws onto the black card strips using a white gel pen and then used a black liner pen to edge around the patterned paper and the card blank. The sentiment comes in the stamp set.
