This Little Piggy

Leave a reply

Today I’m sharing another card featuring This Little Piggy which, as I’ve mentioned before, is an adorable stamp set. But this time I’ve included the Oh My Stars new embossing folder. I love how embossing folders can add such great texture to a project with such ease.

So here I’ve used a pop of lemon lime twist embossed with the Oh My Stars folder. I could’ve done an entire layer, but I feel that just the small piece makes a bigger statement. And it leaves a lot of the Berry Burst uncovered. My pig is stamped in the archival basic black and after leaving it to dry, I used an aquapainter and powder pink and lemon lime twist to color the pig and the grass. For the flower, I used my stampin’ write markers – hard to get a big wash of color in the little spaces. The hooves were done with an early espresso watercolor pencil. I guess I was just using all the possibilities! I framed the watercolor paper with some basic black to pull it all together and popped it up with dimensionals. What do you think? Time to get out This Little Piggy yourself?

This Little Piggy is an adorable stamp set; truthfully I thought it was a little too cute for me, but when I came back with it from Onstage Live, I changed my mind.

For this piggy, I used watercolor paper, an aquapainter and some rather unexpected watercolor pencils. For the piggy, since there’s no powder pink pencil, I actually used a light covering of calypso coral which creates a very piggy kind of pink when blended with a little water. I used the old olive pencil for the grass and a little early espresso for the hooves. I added a mat of old olive that was just 1/8 inch larger than the watercolor paper and also used a scrap of watercolor paper for the sentiment which is cut out using the smallest oval from the Stitched Shapes framelits dies. Since one end of it was on top of the mat and watercolor paper, I added a scrap of both to the other end of the sentiment so that it was flat – and as a bonus it looks a little raised on the right hand side.

I used the Oh My Stars TIEF on a piece of powder pink to make the background interesting, but not so interesting as to overpower the piggy. I hope you agree that This Little Piggy is adorable!

Oh My Stars TIEF

Today’s card is resuming my series of the 5 in-colors with the same basic layout and Eastern Medallions Thinlits dies but today I’m featuring the brand new Oh My Stars TIEF. But before I get started, I want to remind you that as of today, all retiring stamp sets are as supplies last.

Rather than scoring the top layer at half an inch in, I cut a piece of tranquil tide at that size (which is 3 by 4 1/4 inch) and then put it in place on the larger tranquil tide layer ( 4 by 5 1/4 inch). I ran these two layers through the big shot with my Eastern Medallions flower (back and fore since it’s two pieces). I snipped the flower off the smaller piece and then ran it through the big shot again, this time using the Oh My Stars TIEF. I then carefully glued it onto the layer, around the petals. I added these pieces to a whisper white card base. I love how the Oh My Stars TIEF has 8 pointed stars that match the 8 petals in the Eastern Medallions.

The sentiment is one of my favourites (thank goodness it’s carrying over!) and I stamped it in the white craft ink and then sprinkled it with white embossing powder and heated. I love how the two products together (the ink and powder) give such a great result. I then used the layering circles framelits dies to cut out the sentiment and also to cut a scalloped circle just a teeny tiny bit larger to give another splash of white.
