It’s Super Saturday at Little Miss Muffet Stamps and today we have a freebie available in the store as well as the spotlighted rubber stamps at a discount for the week!  This week, the spotlight is on both of the Swings ‘n Slides Carnival Sentiments which are perfect for the character and rides in this theme.  I always think they make great birthday cards but there are also some that would work for other themes too like parties, summer, holidays and patriotic projects too!

The image on this project is Swings ‘n Slides Ferris Wheel and a matching Swings ‘n Slides Carnival Sentiments both from Little Miss Muffet Stamps and drawn by Pollycraft.  I love how the rides, sentiments and characters work well together and there are several combinations.

When I started, I knew I wanted to use this shaker element so I designed the card around how that would work.  I initially had the shaker element on the inside of the card with a hold cut in the font but had some problems with my placement so I ended up with the easier route and placed it on the front of the card.  Then I stamped the Ferris Wheel image twice, once for the backing and once for the overlayer – this way I could hide the edges of the shaker part. 

I filled the shaker with Dew Drops, microbeads and a party charm.  The stamps were stamped in brown instead of black which I think matched the papers better.  I think the black would have stood out too much for the subtle look I was going for.

The rubber stamps can be found in the LMMS Store and don’t miss out on the discount this week on the sentiments too!  Also head on over to the LMMS Store Blog to see what the freebie is for today and inspiration using all of these stamps today.

If you’re a Chester fan you’ll want to make sure to visit the Little Miss Muffet Stamps store this week and pick up Cool Chester at a discount and then check out all the other Chester images that will fall into your basket.  ;D  He’s such a fun loving monkey and great for boy cards too!

This image is Retro Chester and if you don’t know what that things is behind him, you might want to ask your parents.  LOL  But for the rest of us… we’ll have to grab out our old mix tapes and give them a listen for memory lane sakes. The odd thing now days, is I see the large ear phones are coming back in style.  It’s true!!  I guess the little ear buds aren’t as obvious of a “do not disturb” me message as these would be.  For me, however, I find the ear buds to be quite uncomfortable and so I’m glad I don’t stand out as an oldie for wearing the earphones.  😀

If you haven’t noticed this little snake on there, then you’ll want to take a second look.  This is an object lesson for my kids on “what happens when you leave your lego toys around the house!”  I know, I’ll always be picking up the little bricks as I step on them, but sometimes, such as this little snake, they find their way on to something other than the toy table!  LOL

Have you used Wobbles yet?  This card does and that’s why the above image is blurry to show the “wobble” action.  Music… wobble… jammin’ … yep, it all goes together!   You can see other cards I’ve created using the Wobble springs too by clicking HERE.  I’ve created a Label them!  😀

Ready for another Super Saturday over at Little Miss Muffet Stamps?  There is a freebie over to check out and I’m going to show off the spotlighted image which is on sale this week.  This is Cool Chester rubber stamp comes with the sunglasses accessory and was such a fun card to color.  The ice cream cone, especially can be of any flavor… yum!

This rubber stamp is Cool Chester drawn by Pollycraft and available at Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  It comes in a set of two with the sunglasses which I’ve stamped twice to add as an embellishment.  I wanted to make a boy card so I went with a bold red and a subtle blue mixed in with a little yellow.  I had a little bit of trouble with the browns I was coloring with but maybe I can pass it off as a fur texture?!  LOL

Make sure to visit the LMMS Store Blog for other inspiration using this image as well as projects that use the freebie for today.  Then you can find both of them in the LMMS Store!  Ciao!

Opsidaisies!  I just scheduled the wrong post for today – not that this post was on time, so I wasn’t worried about that.  No worries, that’s life and for those who saw what wasn’t suppose to be posted, you got a little sneak peek at an upcoming challenge.  (o.0)  Lucky you!  SO what was suppose to be posted?  That would be this card and one of the New Releases at Little Miss Muffet Stamps today!  There are four new summer digis that are now available and you can see inspiration for them all at the LMMS blog.

The image I used is Swings ‘n Slides Little Sprout drawn by Pollycraft and available in digital form in the Little Miss Muffet Store.  I honestly couldn’t decide which of the four images I wanted to color but when I stumbled across a small flower punch, I knew I wanted to pick this one.

All the other accessories and papers were grabbed at random – it’s amazing what you can find when you reorganize your stash!  Now the task will be to *remember* where all the new spots.  LOL
