Happy STAMPtember!

Happy STAMPtember, everyone! Let’s celebrate with some amazing deals! Simon Says Stamp is having a PARTY and I am so excited to be a part of it! I get to share this amazing FREE stencil set promotion with you! How cute is that boho rainbow? You can get it FREE with any purchase!

I also get to share with you some cards I made using the exclusive STAMPtember Pumpkin Blessings stamp set! This stamp set has some really fun sunflower and pumpkin stamps, plus a really cool banner with sentiments to go along with it!

For this first card, I stamped the sentiment first in black ink. Then, I stamped a few of the pumpkin stamps around the sentiment and worked my way out to the edges of the card. I colored them in with Copic markers.

For this card, I stamped the large banner stamp in the center of the card panel. Then, I stamped the pumpkins and sunflowers around it. I colored them in with Copics and then added some black paint splatters around the card.

For this final card, I trimmed a piece of blue cardstock to 4.25″x5.5″, a brown piece of cardstock to 4″x5.25″, and then a white piece to 3.75″ x 5″. I glued each piece together. I stamped the large banner stamp in the center with one of the sentiments. And then, I colored it with Copic markers.

I hope you’re enjoying the STAMPtember party so far! Don’t forget there are LOTS of other Designers’ blogs to visit for more promotions and exclusives! Head to the Simon Says Stamp blog to find a list of blogs to visit!!

Happy STAMPtember, everybody! Xx, Amanda

Let’s Get a Pumpkin!

Have you picked out pumpkins for carving yet?? We have the cutest little local farm here that has a huge pumpkin patch that we love to go to every year! They have hay rides, corn mazes, and lots of treats! The kids just love going there!

This sweet girl on this card reminds me of my 6 year old daughter! I just HAD to make a card with her. She’s a digital stamp from Kinda Cute called “Girl with Wheelbarrow“.

I printed the image on 80# Neenah cardstock and then colored her in with Copic markers.

I finished the card off by adding some black cardstock and then patterned paper behind it!
I hope you were inspired by my post and I hope you’re having a great week so far! Thank you so much for stopping by my blog! It really means a lot to me!
Xoxo, Amanda

Get Out Your Rakes!

It’s that time of year! Are you excited for Autumn or dreading it? Summer is definitely my favorite season, but I do love getting out the fall boots and sweaters!
My doggies are definitely happy it’s cooling down! It definitely looks like this cute little dog is having a blast in the leaves!

To make this card, I’m using the Kinda Cute Boy Raking Leaves digital stamp and my Copic markers!

I think this little duo turned out pretty stinkin’ cute!
Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you’re having a great week so far!
Xoxo, Amanda
