sweet pea is so stinking cute

sweet pea is so stinking cute

I borrowed this set from one of my downline the other day and can I just tell you it is SO STINKIN’ CUTE that I could not stop creating cards with it!

I have so many samples to share with you today – if you are looking for a fun stamp set that crosses generational lines this stamp set check all the boxes. Stinkin’ cute enough for kids cards but “Pun”ny enough for the adults – I seriously could not get enough of it! The images are so sweet!

This first card I combined the Sweet Pea set with the Full of Life 6″ x 6″ DSP. I stamped the two peas in a pod – literally LOL on a Nested Essentials die and colored with Real Red, Lemon Lime Twist and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends.
I cut a 2 3/4″ x 5 1/2” piece of Full of Life DSP adhered it to the center of an Azure Afternoon card base and popped up the Nested Essentials stamped and colored die over the center of the DSP. I added Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins to cap it all off!

I have a picture of the same card with the Crushed Curry card stock!
On a Poppy Parade card base I stamped the leaf tendril in Tuxedo Black Memento ink on the base. Stamped the same stamp on scrap Basic White paper, colored in with Lemon Lime Twist Light and Dark Stampin’ Blends and fussy cut four stems. I stamped the four peas in a pod and colored with Stampin’ Blends on a small Nested Essentials die. I popped up the die onto Stampin’ Dimensionsla in the middle of the sprigs. I stamped the You make me HaPEA on the bottom right-hand side of the card and added Iridescent Adhesive-Backed Discs to finish the card.
The next card uses a Basic White cardstock base and a Basic White layer that is embossed with the Distressed Tiles 3D embossing folder. I colored the card center with Lemon Lime Twist and a Blending Brush. I stamped the two peas in a pod and the You make me HaPEA sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento ink on the largest circle of the Stylish Shapes die set. I colored them with Stampin’ Blends and popped it up on Stampin’ Dimensionals in the card center. Shiny Sequins finish off the card with coordinated sparkle.
This card uses a Crushed Curry cardstock base, a Basic White layer embossed with the Dotted Circle 3D embossing folder, a 2″ x 4″ piece of Full of Life DSP, and two scraps of Basic White for the two die cuts from Perennial Postage dies and Nested Essentials. The Adhesive-backed Shiny Sequins finishes this card.
This next card embossed the base Azure Afternoon card with the Dotted Circles 3D embossing folder. The stamped focal piece is a Deckled Rectangle die set, same Stampin’ Blends and Iridescent Discs.
This card starts with a Basic White Cardstock base and a Basic White layer embossed with the Dotted Circle 3D embossing folder that is colored with Lemon Lime Twist ink from a Blending Brush. Love this image Hello GrumPEA – too stinkin’ cute.
The Lemon Lime Twist card is the base for the next card. The smallest die from the Stylish Shapes is the focal point for the GrumPEA image.
This Sweet Pea card uses Gorgeous Grape card base, a 3 1/4″ x 4 3/4″ piece of Basic White negative die from the Nested Essentials die, a Brights 6″ x 6″ DSP cut to fit behind the negative space. The sweet pea image was colored with Stampin’ Blends and die cut with the Perennial Postage dies.
This card uses a 2 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ piece of Full of Life DSP on a Crushed Curry card base combined with two die cuts from Nested Essentials and Stylish Shapes die brushed with a blending brush and Shiny Sequins.
White on White is the base for this card. The frame is made from the Deckled Rectangle dies. Circle dies from Stylish Shapes and Spotlight on Nature make the focal points for the sweet pea image and sentiment. The Shiny Sequins finishes off this card.
The last card uses a Gorgeous Grape cardstock base, Brights 6″ x 6″ DSP pieces, and a circle die from Stylish Shapes with the sweet pea image finishes the card with Iridescent discs to accent!

ice cream swirl twisted easel bookfold card

ice cream swirl twisted easel bookfold card

This Ice Cream Swirl is such a fun whimsical bundle! I really love the playfulness of it and this card is just built for the whimsy of this set!

I recently received a Twisted Easel Bookfold card in my swap this month and so i decided to rework it with my own style and blog it for you with all the directions and photos so you will be able to recreate it!

Measurements:
BASE: Flirty Flamingo 4 1/4″ x 11″
scored at 4 1/4″ and 5 1/2″
Basic White layer: 4″ square
scrap of Crumb cake for the cone
scraps of white for the sentiments and base of
the ice cream
scrap of Flirty Flamingo for the swirl and the
inside sentiment matte
DSP: 1″ x 4″

Score the base card at 4 1/4″ and 5 1/2″ and crease well with a bone folder. Place Tear & Tape in between the two score lines and fold the card closed sealing the book binding fold.
Fold the square upwards so the bottom right hand point matches up to the top right hand point – using your bone folder crease the diagonal fold well matching on the top edge.
Bend backwards so the score line is a mountain fold.
Add the 4″ Basic White layer to the inside of the card.
Die cut the swirl in Flirty Flamingo, the ice cream base in Basic White and the cone in Crumb Cake cardstock and add the embossing for the cone as well.
Adhere the swirl to the ice cream Basic White base and adhere the ice cream to the cone.

The cone plus ice cream will be too tall so you willwant to place the tip of the ice cream at the top of the card and adhere the cone to the bottom triangle below the diagonal score line only. Cut cone that is hanging below the bottom edge of the card.

Stamp the Make a Wish and Yum Yum sentiments in both Flirty Flamingo and Crumb Cake inks. Fussy cut in straight lines around each Yum you will need two of each color. Cut the A out in the Crumb cake and adhere over the A in the Flirty Flamingo Make a Wish sentiment cut into a square and matte onto Flirty Flamingo. Adhere the Yum Yums above and below the diagonal score line on the card front.
Add the Make a wish with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the lower right hand corner of the inside of the card. This will serve as the easel holder for the Twisted Easel fun fold.
I added 5 Iridescent Pastel gems to the card front to finish it off.
Try this fun and whimsical card today with some of your own supplies and create some art work of your very own – one stamp at a time!
