Don't Forget the Little Guys

Today I have 3 projects to share -  using some of the smaller stamps from the Waltzingmouse June release sets You're a Doll, You're a Doll Additions and Country Labels 14.  I often don't think of using the little pieces by themselves - I'm so focused on the main images of a set!

First,  I made a Feel Better card with flowers and faces from You're a Doll and a sentiment from Country Labels 14.

 Aren't these flowers cute with their sweet little faces!?! I punched the faces with a 5/8" punch and popped them up on foam dots.

 

Next -  I stamped the little rose and leaf  from You're A Doll and a sentiment from Country Labels 14 on a white panel for this pretty little card.  I used a scallop edge punch on the bottom of the white floral panel and popped it up on foam tape over the patterned paper.

 Here's a close up of the panel.  I adhered Tiny Twinkles to the center of each rose.  This sentiment would be great for an Anniversary, encouragement or a Valentine's card.

 

For my third project - I decorated a little 2 3/4" x 4 mini polka dot paper bag using stamps from You're a Doll and You're a Doll Additions.   I added two strips of Washi tape behind the label that is up on foam dots.  A gift card would fit nicely inside! 

Here you can just see the stamped hearts behind the rhinestone hearts.  I also sponged the edge with red ink before removing the piece from the Labels 15 Nestability.

 

So the moral of the story is - DON"T FORGET THOSE CUTE LITTLE STAMPS in your bigger stamp sets!!

We're coming near to the end of our week's vacation (sigh) -  today Kent and I are off to visit my cousins in Eaton Center, NH -  a wonderful little town just outside of North Conway.  They have a house on a little lake (called a pond actually!) nestled in among the hills.   They live there in the summer and in FL in the winter - so I like to get up to visit them when they are nearer to us.
