Is there a rough and tumble Lil’ Dude in your life?  Then you need to check out the newest collection from Simple Stories called Lil’Dude!   It’s got all things boy.. think dinosaurs, robots, puppy dogs, and race cars!

The collection includes everything you need for cards, layouts and so much more including pattern paper, stickers, cardstock stickers, journaling card “elements” and die cut “bits and pieces”.

I love the bright bold rainbow colors with contrasting accents of black and pastel sky blue.   The reverse side of some of the card stock sheets have journaling cards too.  I used this one with the “Lil’Dude” sentiment as the focal point on my card.

What a fun way to tell you’re little guy that you think he’s awesome!   The chipboard sticker robot is totally rad!  No adhesive foam tape for this guy – the chipboard is thick enough to add dimension without it. 

The kiddos grow up fast so you better gobble up this collection while you can!

Jeanne here today and I’m so excited to be sharing four cards made with the new Oh Baby! Collection!  This collection is perfect for celebrating the new addition to the family whether it’s for baby’s shower or a warm congratulations.

 

The collection is a beautiful mix of pastels – the pink, blue, yellow and green you’d expect with a touch of neutral woodgrain.    The papers are perfectly coordinated for mixing and matching so you’ll be able to use every last scrap!

The collection is complete with paper, stickers, bits & pieces, chipboard and washi tape.   You can decorate to your hearts content making banners, cupcake decorations, pinwheels and so much more.  I love all the little animals and florals in the set.

If you’re the expecting Mom you’ll want to have plenty in your stash to document every special memory from the baby shower to all of baby’s firsts!

I can’t wait to hear some happy news so I can share these pretty cards and all my best wishes for a wonderful life!

Jeanne here today sharing four cards made with the new Simple Stories Bloom Collection!   This collection is a mix of soft florals and bold black and white stripes and dots!

This is a complete collection with Bits and Pieces die cuts, 6x12" Chipboard Sticker Sheet, Journaling Elements and even decorative Washi Tape!  You can see the entire collection here.

The chipboard elements make wonderful embellishments!  The chipboard is thick and add lots of dimension to your projects.  The typewriter and florals on this card are all chipboard.  

A 3x4 journaling card (included in the collection kit) is perfect for making images the center of attention.  The Combo sticker includes sentiment strips borders and tabs! 

This sentiment was created by layering  a "bits and pieces" die cut sentiment over a 3x4" elements journaling card.  There is adhesive foam tape between the layers to add dimension. 

You're going to love how each and every piece in this collection is coordinated to work together and the beautiful projects you'll be able to make!
