Hello Cactus

Hello! Mel with a new card for you today.  I have been playing with watercolors a lot lately. Sorta fun to create a special background to fit an image. The cactus is from the One Cool Hombre stamp set. The cactus was colored with Copics and then fussy cut. Tim Holtz Distress inks are used for the background. The sentiment is from Lorraine stamp set. The square die is one of the nested stitched square dies from Jaded Blossom.

Thanks for stopping by today! Have a great weekend :)

One Cool Hombre Dip.

Happy Monday! Barb here from BugBites with another project using the Stamp Annie Thing stamps. 

I have been on a role with recipe pages for my cookbooks and the One Cool Hombre stamp set was perfect for my Taco Dip recipe. 

I used several stamps from this set. 

First I stamped the buildings onto burlap paper at the bottom of my page. 

Then I stamped the cactus, colored it with my copics and hand cut around it. 

Next I stamped the Lil Hombre, colored and cut him out. The final touches were the bowl of dip and taco on the recipe card itself. All of these stamps are in this one set of stamps!

I'll see ya back here next Monday with another project! 

Taco Night ...

Good morning! Ruza here to share an Invitation I made.

I made a "Taco Night" invitation using some of the stamps from the One Cool Hombre stamp set.  First step was to stamp and color the yummy food, and cut the pieces out. Next was the hard part. I made several mistakes while creating this frame with the border stamp, a ruler, and a thin black marker. So I pulled out my Crop-A-Dile to punch the holes where the circles are in the stamp, and a Fingertip Blade was used to cut out the rectangles in the design. Once the frame was complete, I layered it on the background and the cardbase, and then I added the yummy food in the center with the sentiment.

Here's a look at the One Cool Hombre stamp set.

I hope you are inspired by today's project to head on over to Stamp Annie*Thing Store to check out all of the amazing stamps that we have to offer.

Until next time ... Enjoy!

Masculine Note Cards ...

Good morning. I hope you all had a marvelous Mother's Day weekend! Mine was amazing!

I'm popping in to share a set of Masculine Note Cards featuring the images from the One Cool Hombre' stamp set. You must be like "another card set"! Yeah, I know! I just love the stamps from Stamp Annie*Thing, and they are perfect for making Note Card sets. This set was made for the only male member of my daughter's Educational Team. I try to be fair and make the same thing, only different, for each member of her Educational Team.

To start my project I drew lines with a Black Copic 0.5 Multi-liner to section off the four areas on Bazzill cardstock. Then I used Memento Tuxedo Ink to create my background . I put post-it notes along the edges of my lines and stamped the stars, and then I stamped the border for each background. The fun village was stamped, framed, and layered on my background.

My second card features the adorable cactus, which I framed, and layered it on my background. As you can see I also flipped the direction of this card.

I created 3 of each card, and used the border stamp on the envelopes to finish off the set.

I tied the card set together with Red & Brown Twine ...

and the final step was to put together my packaging. I used a SRM Glassine 4-3/4" x 6-3/4" Bag, stamped the border and cactus's on the bottom of the bag with StazOn Jet Black Ink, and then tied my Many Thanks tag on with the Red & Brown twine. I used an SRM Fancy Sticker Sentiment for my tag because I wanted it to really POP!

I'm loving all the options I have to create with the stamps by Stamp Annie*Thing!

New Design Team Member- One Cool Hombre!

Ok, I may not be a cool Hombre, but I am very excited to be the newest design team member here at Stamp Annie Thing! Thanks Ann for inviting me to be a part of all this fun! 

For my first post as a Stamp Annie Thing DT member, I decided to use the One Cool Hombre stamp set. 

This is a 4 X 6 stamp set which is great for Cinco De Mayo, a fiesta party invite or in my case, to use it for the many, many photos of Mexico vacations.

Now those Maracas...what a great little cut file you can find here. They added that little extra to my card. 

For all the details of my card, stop on over to my blog, BugBites.
