2 "Cheeky" cards for Pink and Main Stamps

Good Afternoon!

I am here today to share two cards using the new fab pocket stamp set, Pocket Full of Sunshine by Pink and Main Stamps. I had a little too much fun with these. I sat down to play with them and I just started thinking about how cute these would look as actual pockets on a pair of jeans. Then I set out to figure out how to make that happen...our new heart dies! So was born two "cheeky" cards! Details are below, including a list of products used.

My Process
First I took the largest Pink and Main heart die and cut it into a card (folded the paper and placed the die just slightly inside the cut line). I used a peach color for one and kraft color for the other. I used  P&M and other patterned papers to create the shirts and jeans. To help make the pockets look for authentic, I put two brads in each pocket. I also made sure to follow the outside stitching of the heart with black ink to tie it all together. The stamped goodies in the pockets were colored using my prismas. I put glossy accents on the phone and glasses for some dimension and used foam tape to pop the pockets off the jeans. The belt on the light jean card was a border die. The belt on the darker jean card was just a strip of paper I ran through an embossing folder to make it look more leathery. The belt loops were made using the die that comes with the set on the light card, and I free handed the loops on the dark one. Both will fit in a standard A2 envelope.

Two Fiesta Cards by Pam Pease

Hello!

I hope everyone is enjoying Pink and Main's newest releases. I sharing here and on Pink and Main's blog, two cards using the Fiesta stamp set. Oh my goodness, how freaking cute are these stamps! I mean the mustache alone! I kept these fairly simple to show that you don't need fancy and complicated to create cute cards. Details are below, including a list of products used.

My Process
I created a standard A2 card using black 110lb paper. The patterned papers where layered underneath the white panels.  I used our newest Cloudy Frames dies (black) to make the images pop. The largest frame was used on the "taco" card and the second largest on the "hot" card. I did use a technique called "mirrored stamping". This allowed me to have the stamps facing each other even though I only had the one stamp.  YouTube was great in learning this technique. It helped to watch the step-by-step process. All of my coloring was with colored pencils.














Pink and Main Supplies Used
Fiesta, Cloudy Frames Dies, Spring Color Pop 6x6 Paper Pad, Jolly 6x6 Paper Pad (Polka Dot green paper)
Other Supplies Used
Prismacolor pencils, gamsol, White gel pen, Versafine Ink,

Welcome to the Neighborhood DT Card for Pink and Main Stamps

Hello there,
Hope everyone is doing well and gearing up for warmer weather! I know I am soooo ready! Today, I wanted to share my Design Team project for Pink and Main stamps using some of their adorable new release products. I am absolutely in love with this set. Well with the new release in general. There are some amazing images! This is just one of many future cards I have planned. I kept this one fairly simple. Details are below, including a list of products used.

My Process
I created a standard A2 card using navy card stock. Layered a slightly smaller paper polka dot paper. Cut the largest frame out of white card stock, using Pink and Main's newest Cloudy Frames dies. I popped the frame up with foam tape. Colored the scene with Copics, masked the houses and colored in the grass and sky. I die cut out some trees and the lamppost for a little dimension and stamped the sentiment.






Pink and Main Supplies Used

So Proud of You Banner Card for Pink and Main Stamps

Hello there!

Just dropping in to share my DT project this week for Pink and Main Stamps. I choose to ignore the forecast this week by creating a fun summer-ish card. This one is for my dad who just had bypass surgery last week. He is hanging in there and doing really well considering. He just happens to love the color aqua and flamingos! I have pictures below to explain how I made the banner die into a card. I hope this helps if you want to give this a try too.

1. I lined up the die leaving the edge, I didn't want to cut out, off the cutting pad. When you run it through the die cut machine will not cut the area off the pad. 2. You can see that it didn't cut that area. 3. I moved the die down, flipped it around, and lined it up with my previous cut line, this time leaving that edge off the cut mat. 4. There is a small area between the cutting marks that I used an craft knife and a ruler to cut. Then I fold it in half and have a banner fold card!

Pink and Main Supplies:
Thin Fish Tail Banner Dies, Sending Waves, Sending Waves Dies, Too Cool (Sentiment), Beach Babe Paper Pad, Stitched Circle Dies, Rainbow Glossy Dots
Other Supplies:
Marvy Reminisce White Gel Pen, Prismacolor Colored Pencils, Gamsol
