Hi everyone! This was meant to come out a few days ago but my camera's battery wasn't being very nice and I had to replace it. Anyways, I'm so excited to show you a card I made for Jessica Weible Illustrations. I received an e-mail from Jessica last week asking if I would like to make a card using his digital illustrations. I went over to her site immediately to check out her stuff and I knew I couldn't say no after that. They are all so adorable!
I normally don't work with digital images because I don't have a personal printer and my husband may not be free to print it out for me but I had to give exception to this :)
I'm using a Princess Frog illustration. It's so beautifully illustrated and it's only a dollar (USD, I think) if you'll like to get one yourself.
Hi everyone! Today I'm sharing another tag with you using some stamp sets from the Rubber Dance Art stamps. They have very artistic looking stamp sets as well as great sentiments that you can make cards with.
Here's a sneak peek of the card where I've used their beautiful Diamonds background stamp and one of their sentiment stamp set. Please head to their blog where you can see the full view of this tag I've made. I really like how this tag turned out and I would love to hear what you think of it.
Also, you can check out their youtube channel so learn how other designers have used their stamps. Thank you!
Hi there! Today, I will be sharing you my last Guest Designer Post for Create A Smile for this month. I would like to thank Christine for choosing me to be her Guest Designer for September and thank her for the Penguin Party stamp set. It's a great set and high quality. I encourage you to check it out. It's worth it! And I can't wait see what other sets she'll come up with.
For this card, I have a short video to share with you. I hope you'll watch it. Click on the play button below. If you'd like to, you can subscribe to my youtube channel as I will be making more of these in the future.
And, here's the card I've made using their Penguin Party & Für Alle Fälle stamp set. I love looking at stamp set and see if I could create my own background without having to purchase an individual background stamp. The tiny hearts in the stamp set is perfect to make background.
Hope you've liked it and you will give that stamp set a try. Don't forget to visit Create A Smile blog to check out all the other ways to use the stamps.

Hey everyone! This is my last Guest Designer Post for The Alley Way Stamps. I want to take the opportunity to thank The Alley Way Stamps for inviting me to do this. I had so much fun playing with their stamps and I strongly encourage you to check their stamp collection if you have not. They such a big variety of fun stamps!
Here's a video I made for this card. I hope you'll watch it. Click on the play button below. If you'd like to, you can subscribe to my youtube channel as I will be making more of these in the future.
The Alley Way Stamps has a lot of comical and cartoony looking stamps but I wanted to share with you that you can turn it into a nice watercolouring piece. This is just another way you could stretch your Alley Way stamps. With this no-line colouring technique, it gives an illusion that I've drawn the balloons myself hehe. But it's actually thanks to the Wish Big stamp set. Try it out!
Thanks for coming by and don't forget to subscribe to my blog for future card posts. And check out The Alley Way Stamps for more inspirations from other designers. Leave me a comment and let me know what you think or if you have any questions.

And, here's the card I've made using their Penguin Party stamp set. This is such a cute set with all the penguins. I hope they will come up with a bunny stamp set, hint hint. Hehe. This little penguin that's coming out of the cake is just perfect for an elaborate and fun background. All you have to do is colour it :)
Hope you've liked it and you will give that stamp set a try. Don't forget to visit Create A Smile blog to check out all the other ways to use the stamps. I will have 1 more card in store for Create A Smile, so go ahead and follow me to stay tuned ;)
Yay! I'm here again with my 3rd Guest Designer Post for The Alley Way Stamps. I've been having so much fun. Alright, let's get to it.
Here's a video I made for this card. I hope you'll watch it. Click on the play button below. If you'd like to, you can subscribe to my youtube channel as I will be making more of these in the future.
I wanted to share that you don't need watercolour paper to do some simple and basic watercolouring. As you can see, I'm just using regular kraft paper. If you don't dilute it with so much water, you can make a vintage-looking watercoloured image. I hope you've been inspired to look through your The Alley Way stamp sets and mix them up. The Alphabet Soup stamp set is really handy to have so that you can create your very own sentiment.
I have one more card to share for my Guest Designer journey with them. Please stay tune for my last card for The Alley Way Stamps! Leave me a comment and let me know what you think or if you have any questions.
Before I show you my card, here's a look of the stamp set that I used for today's card. It's the adorable Penguin Party stamp set!
Here's my card :
The penguins and gift boxes were all coloured using some watercolours. I've stamped them on top of each other using some masking technique so that I could pop them up all 3 at once.
Now, do you see that repeat sentiment stamping behind the penguins? Here's how I did it.
I made a distress look on my die cut piece with Antique Linen Distress Ink. I took the Hooray! sentiment from the same stamp set and stamp it using the same distress ink to create the background.
Hope you've liked it and you like to give that stamp set a try. Don't forget to visit Create A Smile blog to check out all the other ways to use the stamps. I will have 2 more cards in store for Create A Smile, so go ahead and follow me to stay tuned ;)
Hi everyone! I hope you caught my first Guest post for The Alley Way Stamps. But if you didn't click here. Anyways, I'm here to share with you my 2nd post for them. This card is clean and simple but when I was done with it, I thought it was cheerful because of the rainbow gift boxes. I hope you like it!
Here's a video I made for this card :) I hope you'll watch it. I'm still pretty new with this youtube card sharing thing so forgive me for my mistakes. Click on the play button below. If you'd like to, you can subscribe to my youtube channel as I will be making more of these in the future.
I've decided to make a tall card to match the tall gift boxes. I just wanted to feature the box from the stamp set because I wanted to share that you can create a great look with just one stamp and all you have to do is colour it! I chose the rainbow colour scheme, using Copics and embellished them with some DIY enamel dots, to match the sentiment but, really, you can chose any colour scheme you like! :)
Both image & sentiments are from the Wish Big stamp set.
I had so much fun and please stay tune for 2 more posts that I have in store for The Alley Way Stamps! Leave me a comment and let me know what you think or if you have any questions.

Okay, now that we have that sorted out, here's my card! I've created a video to show you how I did it. I'm still really new with making voiceovers and I get a bit nervous and might say the wrong words but I hope you will still enjoy it. Click on the play button below. If you'd like to, you can subscribe to my youtube channel as I will be making more of these in the future.
In this card, I used the Penguin Party & Für Alle Fälle stamp set. (You will see all the stamps sets just below my card.) I'm so excited that Christine released a German sentiment set because my future husband is German and also almost 3/4 of my friends are Germans so it's really awesome to have stamp set like this around.
Anyways, I took the little penguin in the set and decided stretch the usage of that image. I made it look like the penguin is holding multiple parachutes while flying down. I just wanted to make a cheerful card to match the sentiment (which means Congrats).
I took the tiny arrow in the Für Alle Fälle stamp set to create my own patterned paper. I used the Hero Arts Tide Pool ink to create this tone on tone look. It's very light but it's there and I think it gives a nice touch to the card.
These are the stamp sets I used for my card :
And this is another stamp set that is releasing. You will be able to see this set in action in other blogs.
Hi everyone! I'm so pleased to share with you my card for my first Guest Designer post over at The Alley Way Stamps. I love their whimsical designs of their stamp images and the cute sentiment fonts. That's why I've decided to make a more playful card than I usually make but still keep it somewhat clean and simple :)
Aren't those monsters cute? The best part about the set is that you could create you own unique monster look. I've just simply coloured them with Copic markers and I've coloured the journalling cards the same colours as the monsters :) I've also added some glossy accents on the ribbon and the ears to make them shiny.
I hope you like it. I had so much fun and please stay tune for 3 more posts that I have in store for The Alley Way Stamps! Leave me a comment and let me know what you think or if you have any questions.
