Hello Everyone!! Guess what?!? It's Stamp Release Day again!! I've came up with a sympathy collection this time. I thought I should make some stamps that are more practical sometimes and we haven't seen Freddie for quite a while, so here comes Freddie again!! We also have Little Bear taking care of Freddie when he's sick. He has also picked a big flower specially for YOU! Isn't he cute? Freddie is delivering love to everybody! He's a postman sending love to everyone! These set can be sold separately of can be purchased as a collection!

You can also purchase them as small sets. >>>>Click here to see more about these sets<<<<

I've made my first project with the "Always By Your Side" Stamp. I'll show you a few photos of what I did in my project. I've made goodie bag with Freddie hanging in the front.

First I'll need to make Freddie into a tag. Punch a tiny hole on top to hang a string.

Usually I will trace the outside of the image with light gray color so that the image stands out a bit and look more 3 dimensional. Cut around the image leaving a little bit of red on the card. Remember to include the punched hole.

I was too into making this project and I've forgotten to take few more picture in between. This is the paper bag I've covered with polka dot paper on one side and checkered paper on the other side. Fold the top of the bag as shown below and make a hole punch in the middle.

Freddie's hanged onto a string, now slip the string through the paper bag's hole from behind.

Pull the string all the way in and put Freddie through the loop of the string.

And it's done! Freddie is now hanging in the middle of the goodie bag. The opening of the paper bag is now securely folded because the string has tided it together. You can put some candies or handmade goodies into the bag and give it to you friend as a sympathy gift! :)

I hope you are enjoying the new release and the tutorial on this little project! More pretty projects by our design team members are on their way! Take care and have a great day!

Happy Wednesday everyone! Hope everyone is enjoying the good weather as much as I do! Do you remember Freddie and his Daddy? We haven't seen Freddie for a long time and I'm sure some of us is missing him. Don't worry, you will soon find out what Freddie is up to lately.

What's Freddie going to give his daddy on that special day? He has picked up a beautiful flower from the woods for his beloved Daddy!! Isn't that just sweet?

Freddie Loves Daddy stamp is on sale for only $2.25!! >>>I Love FREDDIE!!<<<

Stamp: Freddie Loves Daddy

Here's the card I've made with this cute stamp. I've decided to play around with the coloring on this card. First I colored it with copic markers with light shades.

Then I used pencil crayons that are in darker shades. I sharpen the pencil crayons because I'm going to scribble on the paper and the more sharpened the pencil crayon is the more texture will show.

And I used kraft paper for the card! Yay! It's my first time using kraft paper to make a card and I'm loving it so much! I love kraft paper! It goes well with any color!! I'll be using more kraft paper from now on =) I really like how this card turned out and I hope you do too =)
