Hey everyone! Happy Monday! I hope you have an awesome week planned! It's going to be H O T here in Sacramento so my goal is to stay cool! We had a fun weekend. Saturday was World Wide Knit in Public Day so I went to the park with a bunch of crafty gals and we sat around all afternoon eating snacks and yarning! It was big fun. Then hubs and I had date night! YAY! Yesterday was for chores and crafting! You know I'm on a quest to use all my awesome stamps that haven't been inked yet. This weekend I used THREE new sets and combined them to make two super fun cards!! Can't wait to show you! Thanks for stopping by today to visit!
My cards today feature Waffle Flower stamps and dies! Yippeeee! You know they are one of my favorite companies! I had the new sets: Go Girl, Be Her and Be Him in my new stamp bin. I thought - hmmmm - surely I can use these all together to create something fun. And, a silly and sweet idea came to me! I made a card featuring me and Lucky! LOL. The Go Girl stamp set makes the cutest paper doll like girls and the Be Her set is adorable animals (including a kitty cat!) I also used some supplies from Lawn Fawn and a beautiful new paper pad! Hurray for creativity!!
First up is this card with me and Lucky on it!! It makes me smile! The finished card is 5" x 6" to accommodate the two Polaroid frames (I have no idea where that die is from - it was in a bin in my room). The card base is kraft cardstock and then layered with a piece of paper from the new Echo Park Paper Pad. The card will fit into an A7 envelope just fine. Sometimes you have to make your own card size!
I stamped the neck/shoulders of the girl, and the cat and colored them with my Copic Markers. I die cut the little bow tie and the girls' shirt from the same floral patterned paper so they match. Then I die cut the hair and the glasses and pieced it all together. I used a touch of distress ink around the edge of the hair to give it a bit of depth.
The Hello sentiment is also from a Waffle Flower stamp set. I cut it out by hand.
I added one enamel dot to the center of the cat's bow tie. The frames are filled with light blue cardstock which was die cut with the Lawn Fawn Clouds Die Background. Gave a bit of interest instead of just having white paper behind their heads. I used one of my favorite Lawn Fawn alphabet sets to stamp our names onto little banners. EEP.
Here's a close up of the clouds background!
The name banners and the figures were all attached to the card with foam tape. I affixed everything together with lots of foam tape!!
Since I had everything out already, I decided to make a second card! This time I made the Go Girl lady into a queen! A crafting queen I think! I gave her a crown and a strand of classy pearls!! SO FUN!! I literally could sit for hours and play with this stamp set!!
This finished card is A2 size. I layered red cardstock and then white cardstock. I die cut the beautiful rays and then also layered some beautiful green leaves. I'm not sure why - but that spoke to me! If you look closely you can see that I added a little floral detail to her shirt by using a stamp with Versamark ink.
I colored the center of the sunglasses with grey Copics.
The sentiments in this stamp set are THE BEST!!
And so, my amazing friends, that's it for today! Wishing you a beautiful week, filled with fun and blessings. I'll be back on Wednesday for a fabulous blog hop for Pretty Pink Posh (CANNOT wait!) CLICK HERE or the graphic below for SUPPLY LINKS. (Affiliate Links Used). Take care! XOXO
This card of you and Lucky is one of my favorites! I can just imagine you having so much fun making it while Lucky keeps you company.

This is such a cute idea Wanda! I love the self-portrait of you and Lucky. You'll definitely have to frame this and display in your craft room.
