For my project shown up top I used the fun This Little Piggy stamp set. I stamped the flying pig and clouds on water color paper and use the Stampin’ Up Water Color Pencils to color the pig, adding some glimmer to the clouds and wings with the Wink of Stella pen. And used a sponge and Tranquil Tide ink for the sky. I die cut a window from the Hearth and Home Thinlits dies , placing a piece of Window Sheet behind for a realistic look. And stamped the words on some of the pretty A Whole of of Love paper. I love how inspirational this card turned out!

Next I made this fun nautical themed card using the Message in a Bottle stamp set , paper from A Whole Lot of Lovely and die from Stitched Shapes Framelits . Instead of describing how I made it you can watch my video project tutorial on Youtube.

For my last card I made a super fun shaker card using the bear, accessory stamps and words from the A Little Wild stamp set. I die cut the images with the Little Loves dies, cutting out a whole big bunch of bees for inside the shaker. The shape of the shaker and the word were cut using the Stitched Shape Framelits dies. The background paper is from A Whole Lot of Lovely.
