PSA Essentials Card 3: Kindred Spirit

 

The PSA Essentials stamps are so cute I really didn't want to add too many elements to this card so that the focus is taken away from the main image.
 

For this card, I used Make-the-Cut to cut out the Lettering Delights' Kite (Spring-a-ling SVG set) with my Silhouette SD cutter. 

 
I used Make-the-Cut's Boolean Join tool to modify the kite so that the spine of the kite is on one layer. Because the spine is very narrow, I cut out the layer with a scrap piece of vinyl. I did the same for the mini bows too.
 

Simple has never looked so cute! If you are just joining us on our Queen's Court PSA Essentials Blog Hop, please click here to start with Day 1's project.

PSA Essentials Card 2: Kids in School Bus



I am still on Spring Break but I will pop in here really quickly to show you this quick little card that I made with PSA Essentials' Smirk Coffee Confidants Peel and Stick stamps. I used Lettering Delights' Class Act Graphic Set and Make-the-Cut's print-and-cut capability to create the printed layer of the school bus.


By pixel-tracing the graphic and importing the texture, the layers of the school bus were easily cut out by my Silhouette and printed by my Canon inkjet printer. All the layers were adhered to the card base with foam tape.

*** Today's Blog Hop is sponsored by PSA Essentials ***


Hi Everyone, I am super excited to have you join us on another blog hop by The Queen's Royal Court Design Team. This blog hop is sponsored by PSA Essentials who is also joining us on our hop today. Once again, here are the Queen's Royal Court Design Team members:

If not, just click here to start the hop from Theresa's The Scrapbooking Queen blog and keep hopping until you're back here. If you should lose your way on the hop, just come back and refer back to the list above to get back on track.

Have you heard about PSA Essentials' Personalized Stamps and their Peel and Stick Packs? I've heard good things about them but I wasn't really sure what it was all about until I received this from our generous sponsor:



I opened up the plastic baggies and realized that basically the PSA Essentials' stamp is a self-inking personalized stamp with an interchangeable center! Because the ring and the center can be separated, it can interchange with the Peel and Stick Packs. 

So for example, I can stamp it so that my name is in the center or...


....I can switch the center out with a stamp from their Peel and Stick Pack to make a brand new stamp! 


How cool is that?



The best part about the Peel and Stick stamps is that I can use them with the personalized stamps or I can use them on their own. Just slap one onto an acrylic block and use them like any other clear stamps. And that is exactly what I did with my Peel and Stick stamps.

The Peel and Stick stamps come in several designs but my absolute favorite line has go to be the SMIRK Collection. I couldn't have been more excited when I received the Smirk-Coffee Confidants pack. Smirk girls + Coffee, seriously? This pack was made for me! These stamps are so super cute. My 5 year old thinks that the girls should have eyes but I love the images just the way they are. 


I think that the stamped image is the perfect size too. Look, the girls fit perfectly in their Cadillac, so they must be the perfect size right? LOL!


For this card, I used the Lettering Delights' California Love graphic set (Cadillac), the Big Apple graphic set (storefront), and the New York SVGs set (storefront). I used Make-the-Cut to cut all the layers out by using the print-and-cut technique. 


All the layers were adhered to the card with foam tape for added dimensions. 

 

The decorative edge on the black cardstock was made by using a border punch and the yellow label was also from a punch. The "Fabulous Friends" stamp comes from the same Smirk-Coffee Confidant stamp set.

The Queen's Royal Court Blog Hop: NIKKI SILVIS


Good Sunday morning, everyone! The Scrapbooking Queen and I have partnered with 8 super talented crafters to bring you The Queen's Royal Court Design Team. Together we will be showcasing some of the hottest brands on the paper-crafting scene. We're kicking off with our first sponsored blog hop today. 


Welcome to

The Queen's Royal Court Blog Hop
featuring 
NIKKI SILVIS's SCRAPBOOKER



Here are designers in the Queen's Royal Court:


Raven


If you have arrived at this blog from Jenny's Crazy About Cricut, you are on the right track. If not, just click here to start the hop from Theresa's The Scrapbooking Queen blog and keep hopping until you're back here. Check out all the fun things that you can do with Nikki Silvis products and put in your entry to win some of her gorgeous papers. There are ten of us on this hop which means that you have TEN chances to WIN! By the way, if you should lose your way on the hop, just come back here and refer back to the list above to get back on track.

We will be using Nikki Silvis' papers for our projects this week and this is my project for today:



The card measures 6" x 4.5" and all the printed papers are from the "My Friend Birdie" Collection. The kraft cardstock is from Recollections. 



For the sentiment, I used Lettering Delights' LD Woodland font and cut out the letters at a height of 0.5" using Make-the-Cut. As the letters are relatively skinny, I cut them out on white contact paper  instead of cardstock. That way, I didn't even need to deal with gluing all the letters down. Can we say instant stickers? Yeah, Baby!

To transfer the letters from the mat to the paper, I used the trick that I mentioned in this post.

Putting this card together was super quick and super easy because all the patterns already co-ordinate. I didn't even need to dig through my giant mountain of papers for matching pieces. By the way, the decorative edge of the blue paper on the left was made with Martha Stewart's Cherish border punch.

Now let's check out the goodies that Nikki Silvis has sent me for the hop's giveaway:



Do they look yummy or what?! No need to drool because you just might be the ONE lucky winner to get them.
