Remakable Stamp of the Month Blog Tour

For March our featured stamp set is Ciao Baby from the Spring Mini.  Love love love the small little designs that can combined together, featured separately or combined with some other designs.  I have created 3 cards that I hope you will enjoy.  The first one is a quick, easy workshop card.  It could be sent to anyone for their birthday or special day.

Midnight Muse, Very Vanilla, Summer Starfruit and Print Poetry DSP pack

 

 

 

Simple design and used 3 of the 7 stamps in the Ciao Baby stamp set.  Also used the Petite Curly Label punch only available through SAB (March 22) and the 7/8" Scallop Circle Punch from the Spring Mini.  Get these punches and stamp sets while you can.


My next card design actually came from the SU Online Class that can be purchased.  It came from the Big Shot section and turned out really cute.

Baja Breeze, Basic Gray, Whisper White and Twitterpated DSP

This card is 3x6".  The 3 hearts are created by running them through the Big Shot with the Hearts a Flutter Framelit.  The hearts are stamped on the white cs with Primrose Pink, Summer Starfruit and Baja Breeze.  I used the Hearts a Flutter stamp set and the Ciao Baby stamp set.  Here Ciao Baby is combined with a different design (Hearts a Flutter).

My last card that I'm featuring also pulls some of SAB products and Spring Mini items.  I've been wanting to try our the new Pinwheel Sizzlit.  So cute when you cut it from DSP.  Here I used Sycamore Street DSP, Ribbon and Buttons from SAB.  I ran only part of the card through the Vine Street Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (also from SAB).  Also used the Oh Hello Stamp Set from the Spring Mini.  I tied in Island Indigo, Pool Party, Summer Starfruit and Tangerine Tango ink to pull all the colors together.

Tangerine Tango, Whisper White and Sycamore Street DSP.

Well this has been fun.  I hope you have picked up some new ideas and uses for SAB and the Spring Mini products.  Get them while you can. Now hop on over to Susan Carlson's blog to see what she has created with Ciao Baby stamp set.  Stop back often for more ideas and creativity.  Hit the image below.

MORE OF BEST OF BIRTHDAYS

I was a little behind this weekend and wanted to have 3 samples ready for the Best of Birthdays blog tour.  Well I finally have caught up and here are the other two.  I tied the blog tour and Best of Birthdays into tonight's class entitled "Poked, Scored & Distressed".  So here are the 3 cards.

This card was featured on the blog tour.  It uses Not Quite Navy, Crumb Cake, First Edition DSP and Parker's Patterns DSP.  This is going for the distressed look where I used the Distress Tool on all edges of the paper.

This is a simple card that I used the Simply Scored Diagonal Plate (that you can earn FREE with SAB).  Whisper white cs and Polka Dot DSP.  This is a card that can easily be STEPPED UP.

This card takes a little more time because you are using the Ovals Collection Framelit Dies and the Occasions Paper-Piercing set from the Spring Mini Catalog.  Notice the paper piercing (poking) on the Rich Razzleberry Oval and on the corners of the Pool Party cs.  Also the DSP, ribbon and button are from SAB collection - Sycamore Street.  You can earn these FREE too.  What do you think of the color combination.  It is not one I would come up with but SU does such a great job with DSP and colors.  Here you have Pool Party, Summer Starfruit and Rich Razzleberry.  Love love love it.

I hope you enjoyed the blog tour and my 2 additions.  Come back next month for the blog tour featuring Best of Love stamp set.  There will be lots of ideas for you to try with that stamp set.

Thanks for stopping - Jackie
