Cutesy Overload!!

Good morning!

Are you ready for some adorable images? Today's previews are all about cutesy - which I LOVE! My first card showcases Asela Hopkin's new stamp set called Warm and Fuzzy and it is simply adorable. I had a lot of fun playing with these little images and have a couple of more cards to share during GinaK's Release Party Thursday night.

Here's a full view of the card...


The card size is 3x6 which is such a fun size to experiment with. The patterned paper is Basic Grey's Offbeat and the solid cardstock is SU's Really Rust and Red Ridinghood. They work really well together, don't you think? I stamped the image on GinaK's 80lb. Pure Luxury cardstock and then again on SU's Really Rust and Summer Sun and cut them out, layering them over the stamped images. Yep, I'm stuck on paper piecing right now - I just love the look!

The heart is from the new SU trio heart punch and worked well with this Labels 1 Nestability diecut. I was thinking of a pet collar when I used SU's Red Ridinghood striped ribbon paired with a SU buckle and buttons. The border punch is also from Stampin Up.

Here's a close up of Asela's adorable kitty and puppy - don't they look so happy together? Love is definitely in the air....

The next project has lots of photos, so I apologize in advance - LOL! I couldn't help myself though - this is one of my very favorite 6x6 layouts that I've made recently!

These images are from GinaK's adorable Fishy Friends stamp set that she gave to all the Cruise Members way back last October. Isn't it perfectly cute!? It worked GREAT with these photos I took of my kids last summer at a mini golf course here in Madison.

Here's a closer look at the first page ...

I stamped all the images on GinaK's 120lb. cardstock in Black Memento Ink and colored with Copics. Then, I popped them up to create a little underwater scene to go with the LifeGuard chairs my kids were sitting in. After I had them all where I wanted them to be, I took some colored stickles and highlighted some of the stamped lines to make them pop!

See what I mean...

Here's a closer view of the second page with my son Isaiah...

I used Basic Grey's Cupcake 6x6 paper and buttons along with EK Success Scallop Corner Punch to decorate these pages. They will go into the same 6x6 book that my other pages that I made for Melanie's Blogaversary. * If you're interested in seeing the other pages you can see them here... Kangaroos and Polar Bears Lions, Kids, and Bears - Oh My! Hip Hippo Hooray! Make a Big Splash! and Christmas Gifts . I have several more layouts to share with you over the next few weeks that I've made with GinaK stamps.

Here's a closeup of those adorable fish - if you look really carefully on the photo, you can see that I added some clear raindots to simulate the air bubbles....

Whew! I told you there were lots of photos! LOL!

Here's the links of everyone else who took the time to play with Gina's Fishy Friends stamp set...

I hope you'll pop back in tomorrow for the last set of previews before the Release Party begins Thursday night!

Have fun blog hopping!
