Sneak peek day 1 - Koality hugs

 Hey there crafty friends...

Who is excited to see a sneak peek of the brand new collection release coming soon at Pawsome stamps?! This set I am sharing is called Koality hugs and it is super duper cute, you are totally going to need to add it to your collection....



To create this card I started with a blue card base that I added stencilling to using the brand new layering stencil Moon and stars. This stencil is so cool because you can do different colours for the clouds and the moons/stars!! 

I then stamped the sentiment "sending fuzzy cuddles" directly onto the card base. 

Using the Koality hugs set I stamped, coloured and die cut three of the cute koala images. These were adhered to the card base with varying levels of foam tape to add some nice dimension to the card. To finish it all off I added white pen highlights to the images!

I am so excited for the new release to come out so you can get your hands on the new products too. Keep your eyes peeled for release day.

Be sure to check back at the Pawsome stamps blog the coming few days for more peeks too!

Happy crafting, hugs Ashlee.

Hi, hello....!!

Hello crafty friends...

Today I'm sharing some new Time for Tea designs inspiration to get your crafty mojo rolling! 

This card uses one die set along with one sentiment stamp. An easy but nice CAS card. The die I used is the Hey, Hello, Hi set and the sentiment is from the Simple sentiments clear stamp set.


I started by cutting a pink card base for my card which I then placed and die cut the shadows to both of the hi, hello sentiment. I then backed this with a black piece of card where I went on to die cutting the wording 4 times per word. These were all glued together to create a raised sentiment effect on the card!


Using the sentiment stamp I stamped that directly onto the card base with black ink before completing the card with a touchy of pretty sequins adhered with micro glue dots. An easy but sweet card to send to someone with a little note inside.


That's my card for today, I hope you like it. Until next post happy crafting, hugs Ashlee.

Birthday treat!

Hey crafty friends...

I'm here to inspire you with a new Time for Tea designs creation! 

This week I made a card using the warm hugs stamp and die set along with the warm hugs large sentiment die which are both from the new release at T4T.


To create this card I die cut the card base using largest die from the sweet scalloped dies set. I then went on to die cut the smaller one so that the could be adhered together. I stamped the sentiment directly onto the smaller scalloped rectangle...


WARM HUGS was die cut from black card and also cut from white card with ink blending on it to create a shadowed ombre sentiment. I adhered this in place with foam tape and sprinkled a touch of sequins around/on the sentiment!


The warm hugs images were stamped, coloured and die cut before finishing off with white pen highlights and adhering in place on the card base with varying foam tape levels which created a dimensional card!

(Images were coloured with Spectrum noir tri-blend markers).


I hope you like this card today, thanks for stopping by and having a look. Happy crafting, hugs Ashlee.

Warm hugs!

 Hey friends...

I'm sharing some Time for Tea designs inspiration today and this time I'm using the new warm hugs stamp set along with the warm hugs large sentiment die!


To create this card I started with a teal blue card stock that I added stencilling too using the movie star stencil. I then die cut the warm hugs sentiment twice. Once from black card and once from white that I had added some inking too so that it had a faded out colour look. These were then adhered together with liquid glue and stuck in place on the card base using foam tape....


I stamped, coloured and die cut the images from the warm hugs set before adhering to the card using varying levels of foam tape. These were all coloured using Spectrum noir tri-blend markers with added white pen highlights. 


To complete the card a touch of pretty sequins....

Thanks for checking out my card today, I hope you enjoyed it! Happy crafting, hugs Ashlee.

Paper hugs.... Roooaarr!!

Hello there friends...

Who's ready for a new card featuring bling? We can never have too much bling right?!


For this card I used these Heffy Doodle products :

Two by Two zoo animals stamps

Two by Two zoo animals dies

Stoney Maloney stencil

Stoney maloney die

To create this card I started by die cutting my base using the large deckled paper die from teal blue card stock. I then went on to die cut the size down of the deckled paper die from white card so I could do some ink blending over the stoney maloney stencil. This was done using Distress oxide inks (Mustard seed, Wild Honey and Spiced marmalade).

Now my base was complete I went on to start creating the focal sentiment "PAPER HUGS". I die cut the base of the sentiment from the same card base card stock colour and then using a piece of white card I did a bit of ink blending using the same colours used on the background so that I could.....

BRING ON THE BLING!!

Once I was happy with the ink blend I covered the piece of card with double sided adhesive and Crystal WOW! glitter before die cutting the sentiment from it. The wording and the base were glued together with liquid glue and adhered to the card base with foam tape to add dimension.

Check out the bling on that sentiment!!

Using the two by zoo set I stamped, coloured and die cut two of the little tigers. These were coloured using Spectrum noir tri-blend markers. Adhered in place with varying levels of foam tape, because I love dimension!!


To complete the card of course I added more bling from a hefty doodle sparkle mix...

What do you think of this one? I hope you like it. Until next post happy crafting my friends, hugs Ashlee.

Hey there crafty friends...

I have some new Pawsome Stamps inspiration for you featuring the Let's roll set and Retro confetti stencil...


I love this fun sushi themed stamp set it's just so cute and you can make all sorts of Sushi plates/spreads!

To create this card I started by adding ink over the stencil on a yellow card stock base. This was done with Catherine Pooler Ginger ink. Then stamped the sentiment directly on the card base with black ink....


Time to stamp, colour and die cut the sushi....

There were coloured with Spectrum noir tri-blend markers. To complete the card a touch of pretty Pawsome sequins of course!
