You should have come to me via the Happy Little Stampers blog -

Ok, so there are 6 new stamp sets that have been released and, of course, I have played with them all :)

Let's start with Dandelion Wishes

A simple spritz of water and turquoise brusho to create the background and once dry, I stamped my dandelions and sentiment using my MISTI.

Now for - Smile!

Another Brusho spritz, this time in purple. I stamped my sentiments with versafine and embossed with clear powder.

Born to be Wild

A CAS card with a stamped image and sentiment with a little pop of colour.

Let it Snow

I used repetitive stamping in a grey ink for the background. The sentiment was inked with versafine and clear embossed. Sequins added extra sparkle.

Merry Kissmas

Perfectly Succulent

I embossed all my images and sentiment then coloured the images with Zig watercolour pens.

Well! I hope you enjoyed all the cards I have made for you.

Happy Little Stampers New Release Blog Hop

Hello! I am one excited and happy little stamper right now. There is a new release at Happy Little Stampers and I can't wait to show you the cards I have made!

There are a quite a number of Designers participating in this blog hop and, yes, you have to visit them all and leave a comment to be in the chance to win. The prize is a $50 gift certificate to the HLS shop so it really is worth it!

You should have come straight from the post over at Happy Little Stampers. If you didn't - that's ok! There is a complete list at the bottom of my blog so you can start from the beginning. OR just keep on going through the list and work your way around.

I have started off by using - Especially for You

This is the perfect set for those special occasions.

I stamped my butterfly randomly with versamark ink and embossed them in white powder. I used 3 Brusho colours - Cobalt Blue, Turquoise, and Prussian Blue for the background. I used the ink smooshing technique for this one. I have combined two sets here - the sentiment is from the Simply Said set but more on that one next. 

Simply Said

This was a very easy card to make. I stamped all my elements, coloured the heart with a red sharpie, then covered it with an obscene amount of glossy accents. 

Wish you were Here

This set was inspired by my European Adventure back in July when I travelled over to the UK from Australia to host the inagural HLS Craft Retreat!

I really wanted to get the feeling of the girl walking away from the Eiffel Tower and just thankful for the experience. Just like I was :)

The background once again was created by smooshing Brushos.

Christmas Joy

I kept this card extremely simple. I stamped the tree, star, and sentiment then coloured in with my wink of stella pen. The added sparkle is really cute!

Mixed Media Fun

I embossed the background stamp onto watercolour paper and then smooshed the panel into Rose Red and Orange Brushos. I stamped my words, trimmed them down, and adhered them with foam tape for dimension.

Rainy Days

For this card, I used some of my Brusho piece that I made at the HLS Craft Retreat back in July. I cut a couple of strips so I could use them as a border for my main panel. I stamped the umbrella, coloured it in, then covered it with glossy accents. 

I hope you have enjoyed seeing what I created with the new release. Don't forget to leave some love in the comment section below then pop on to the next blog - Michelle Dees

I have been going crazy with making cards for this release. I have to say that I really love these sets!

I will start off with the Everyday Sentiments set. Perhaps my favourite :)

I gold embossed the 'Happy' and then created my own combination of sentiments using other stamps in the set. I added some sequins for extra bling.

Next up is the Thinking of You set.

I started with a small panel of Glossy Cardstock and sprinkled brushos to create a rainbow.

Next is Mix Mash - this is a really fun set!

Who doesn't like neon cards? I love them! I inked up the circles with neon ink and created a fun background. #You Rock!

Now Whimsical Friends. 

A set close to my heart as it is the first set that I drew by hand. I remember I was babysitting my niece and nephew at the time. I had taken my nephew to football training and was sitting in the car drawing these images.

I stamped my cute elephant and sun then created masks from post-it notes. I used distress ink for the background.

Next up is Birthday Friends.

For this one, I smooshed some grey ink onto my craft mat and picked it up with my watercolour paper. I stamped my elephant and fussy cut him out. 

Last but not least is Fun Birthday Sentiments.

I used the stamp from Mix Mash to create my background. It was stamped with Neon ink. I love this sentiment! The finishing touch was the Bakers Twine also available at the shop.

There you go! I have had so much fun using these stamps and I know you will too! 

Next up is Loll who is going to blow your socks off with her cards :)

Thanks so much for popping by and good luck!

My first card is using the Mixed Christmas Sentiments set. Perfect for any style of card making!

"Deck the Halls with Boughs of Holly". This sentiment that I have embossed in gold is perfect for my little holly cluster.

My next card uses a very simple piece of off cut from a brusho piece I had created. I then stencilled over the top with embossing paste through a stencil. I popped up my die cut trees with the sentiment.

Next up is the Bold Birthday Sentiments

I used a Mini Mister (available at the HLS shop). I combined a ink from a reinker and water to create my own ink spray. I sprayed directly onto the front of my card. Once dry, I stamped the sentiment and added black sequins and Rhinestones (available from the HLS shop). I love pink and black together :)

My next cards use the Big Bold Numbers set which is perfect to combine with the Bold Birthday Sentiments set :)

I used some DP for the background and then stamped with Memento Luxe ink. I die cut the 't' and 'h' and popped them up with little foam squares cut down to size. Next I added a heap of Rhinestones.

For my next card I stamped the Happy and 21 and then die cut my panel with the 's' and the 't' and a few stars so I could have my glitter paper showing through the negatives. Another great way to combine the two stamp sets!

Last but not least is Butterfly Birthday. 

I created my background by using the Acrylic Block Stamping Technique. I inked up my block and wet it using my Mini Mister. I also created my splats using the acrylic block (you can see my tutorial HERE). I stamped my butterfly onto a piece of scrap watercolour paper that I had already inked up and fussy cut it out. It has been popped up with foam tape. The Pearls (available at the HLS shop) were the finishing touch :)

Using distress inks, I covered my panel and then misted water onto a stencil (a gift from Loll) and pressed it onto the paper. My 'ghosting' technique didn't work so well for my first time but I actually really loved it in the end. I inked up a snippet of card stock with the same Distress Inks, stamped my butterfly and fussy cut it out. I've popped it up with foam squares. More pearls on this one :)

For this card, I placed my stencil on on my piece of watercolour cardstock and then pounced my versamark pad all over. I then embossed with a clear powder. Using brushos in a paint tray, I added the colours with a brush. I also embossed the sentiment onto a piece of vellum.

Here is a recap of the products that I have used from Happy Little Stampers.
