I’m excited that I was able to get back to the Swings ‘n Slides carnival themed rubber stamps and today I’ve used Swings ‘n Slides Popcorn from Little Miss Muffet Stamps. For the card base, I used red/white striped washi tape to cover scrap paper to go for a popcorn bucket or bag. I used a scalloped edge for the top then cut in the sides a little. For the popcorn, I used clouds. I have some tickets which I thought would work for the theme and then colored up the Swings ‘n Slides Popcorn boy. It was fun to use these bright colors which was a switch from my usual.

Birthday Memories – Bunny
I know I’m on holiday with my family traveling the country and think it’s great I can schedule inspirational posts for y’all at the same time. Especially since it’s SU Monday madness where I share a card I created using the Birthday Memories designer series papers from Stampin’ Up! This is a card layout and design I got from Carolyn King. I also used some Make it Crafty chipboard embellishments for the sentiment and gems for sparkle.
Sunflower
It’s new releases at Whimsy Stamps and I have a project showcasing the Sunflower DoveArt rubber stamp. This one was stamped on Balsa wood then colored with Prismacolor colored pencils. I also used some glitter and transparent paper from Whimsy Stamps for a sparkled finish. Finally, some butterflies and a ladybug embellishment were added for a friendly touch.
Swings ‘n Slides Cotton Candy
This week I have a fun LMMS project to share and a theme I’ve been wanting to get to. I’ve used Swings ‘n Slides Cotton Candy rubber stamp from Little Miss Muffet Stamps. There are several other stamps in the Swings ‘n Slides carnival theme and I hope to get to some more of them. They’ve been some of my favorites to color just for fun.
Nativity Crochet
This is part of a Nativity Crochet kit that I’ve been working on with a friend. My goal is to get the set completed by the end of the year. This is Mary, Joseph and Jesus. I’m not sure on the brand of fibers I was using but it’s it looks hand woven wool yarn.
Splash
I wanted to share another project I made with Splash. With all the lines in the waves, I wanted to see what it would look like to color each one with a darker gradient of blue. I messed up a few areas but was able to cover it with the sailboat. I then stamped a few of the accessory stamps and the sentiment to complete this little note card.
