Watermelon Week with The Stamps of Life - Day 2

Hello, friends!  Welcome to Day 2 of my watermelon week featuring stamps and dies from a new-to-me company, The Stamps of Life.  (If you missed the first day, you can find it HERE.)  These are super user friendly stamps, and multi-step stamping is a breeze.  

Both of my cards today use the Watermelon2Stamp and Patterns4Watermelon stamp sets and come together in minutes.

The Watermelon2Stamp set has an outlined row of watermelons giving you the option to color it yourself, or you can use the filler stamps found in Patterns4Watermelon to speed up the process like I did here. 

My second card uses the same supplies as well as the Watermelon Die Set.

I absolutely love the fun patterns included in these sets.  Don't they make the cutest watermelons? 

Thanks so much for joining me today!  I have one more watermelon project to share with you tomorrow, and it just might be my favorite.  I hope you'll come back and join me!

Watermelon Week with The Stamps of Life - Day 1

Good morning!  I'm here today to share with you some cards featuring one of my favorite things about summer - watermelon!  I love it, and it turns out I love creating with watermelons just as much as I love eating it. :) In fact, I had so much fun creating with the cutest watermelon stamps and dies from The Stamps of Life that I've got projects to share with you not just today but through the rest of the week.  So let's get started!

I was immediately drawn to the size and script of the die in the Sweet Statement Set.  Obviously this set could be used for countless occasions and styles, but I decided to fully and unabashedly embrace the watermelon theme on my card. 

A little glitter cardstock, some simple embossing, and a few die cut seeds made for a quick but fun card. 

Since not a whole lot of stamping was involved in the creation of my first card, I decided to go the opposite route for my second.

Using the melon portion from The Stamps of Life's Watermelon2Stamp and the patterned rinds from the Patterns4Watermelon set, I created a simple stamped background using a variety of pinks and greens.    

Not wanting to cover up any of those fun watermelons, I simply finished the card off with the layered sentiment dies in the Watermelon Die Set.

The Stamps of Life stamps and dies were so easy and fun to use, and you can find them all HERE and HERE.  I can't wait to share the rest of my projects with you, so make sure you check back tomorrow. :)

Where Creativity Meets C9 Challenge #22

Good morning!  Are you ready for another Where Creativity Meets C9 Challenge? This one will put a smile on your face.

The theme for Challenge #22 is Sparkle and Shine.  This is such a fun, happy challenge, and I smile every time I think about this card.  Possibly because it makes me think of the cute niece I made it for. ;) 

I was super excited to finally use the Rainbow Wishes Bundle from Concord and 9th.  These stamps and dies bring instant smiles.  I just love them!  Since the theme of the challenge is sparkle and shine, I started there.  I grabbed a few different glittery papers and cut them with the Rainbow Wishes Dies. If you look close, even "bright" was cut with glittery paper.  I completed the sentiment with some stamps from Rainbow Wishes and added a few glitter covered hearts to finish it off.

The best part of these challenges is seeing what everyone makes.  Make sure you head over to the Where Creativity Meets C9 Blog to see what my talented teammies whipped up, to welcome our new teammate, and also to find out all the details on how to enter.  Don't forget that you have a chance to win a guest design spot for the challenge or a $25 gift certificate to Concord & 9th.  And have you seen their newest release? Lots and lots to love. You can check it out and shop HERE.  Thanks so much for visiting today!  Wishing you a happy weekend!
