I wanted to use Can I Keep Him?!! stamps for this special occasion, and thought a train fish tank would be fun to make. =)
The train is from Its a Trainset digi stamp. Printed on a muse studio Shimmer Damask cardstock papers.

Clear box is a stamp package from PapertreyInk. String idea was inspired by Mel’s fabulous diorama project. She has a great tutorial on her blog.

Thank you everybody for leaving me sweet comments during Summer Blog Hop with Taylor. Heehee, it’s late, but here’s the blog hop winner list on Taylor’s blog. THANK YOU!

Each month, select stamp sets will share the A Muse Studio Spotlight with a gorgeous color palette to create projects that showcase the versatility of paper crafting. And during their time in the Spotlight, you can save on the stamp sets used to create these fabulous projects! (Heehee, copied from a muse studio Spotlight flyer =)

Look what I’ve created using a muse studio July/August Spotlight stamp sets and cardstock.

Stamp set: Birthday Builder (page 78)

I used egg die to make the balloons. Yup! a muse studio has CLEAR STAMPS, too!

a muse studio bow maker to tie the ribbons.

Used scotch tape on the back of balloons and the card to secure the twine.

Here, I created a card box for A1 size envelops (3 5/8 x 5 1/8)

Stamp set: Tini Time (page 62)

Stuffed/padded inside the card box, align the flaps, and stamped.

Stamp set: That’s the Ticket (page 24)

Used the matching Ticket Strip die and stamped “Happy Birthday” sentiment on it.

Lines stamp to make the candles. And, added Clear Twinkle Stickers for the flames.

Here’s a simple one. Stamped the sentiment, “Hello” and the leaf, then added red micro Twinkle Sticker.

Stamp set: Graphic Sunflower (page 33)

Stamp set: Swanky Backgrounds (page 74)

I had fun making the flower using banner die. Wrapped with 3 die cut pieces. Used hot glue gun to secure it.

Topped it with diamond glitter.

Here’s more samples using July/August Spotlight stamp sets on a muse studio website.

For one month, you can save 10% on the stamp sets used to create these fabulous projects!

Celebrate Summer… with a Blog Hop!

Hello everybody!

Thanks for coming to celebrate summer and the 4th of July blog hop! This fun blog hop was organized by Taylor Usry (THANK YOU!!!)

If you came to my blog from Krissy, you came to the right place. If not, you can start from Taylor’s blog.

I was inspired by Pottery Barn Kids summer catalog to create these cute beach houses, sling chairs, and umbrellas. Also, wanted to add a bit of Caribbean colors to it.

For the sling chairs, I used Sizzix Bigz Bookplates die on chipboards. Cut the end parts.

Cut some notches before putting two rectangle pieces together.

I used a muse studio pigment ink pads to color the chipboards. A muse studio Washi Tapes to make the chair fabric.

Comfy! =)

For the umbrellas, I used lollipop sticks and Nestabilities Circle Die to cut the circles. Wrap stripe of paper around the top.

For the beach houses, I used Stampin Up Mini Milk Carton Die (Cut the top taps off).

Martha Stewart fence punch for the fence. Eyelet for the roof window. Lollipop stick for the legs.

Teeheehee. These tiny houses remind me of the movie, Zoolander. “What is this? A center for ants?”

Look at all these awesome blog candies!
