Bubble Talk

If you are interested in purchasing the stamp simply use the email notification form on our website from May 25th on and you will be the first to know when we have it available for purchase. Thank you so much for your patience and understanding!
Bubble Talk has great sentiment building opportunities for numerous occasions and uses! In fact there are a few that just tickle us. Winnie and Walter have no idea what we find so funny, but they sure like us laughing. In addition to bold words and smaller longer sentiments there are two outline and two solid speech bubbles to add your custom sentiment in. And the words work in concert with
The Write Stuff: Picture Perfect...it is like the camera and its flash! Plus, you can use the smaller words from The Big, the Bold and other stamp sets with the speech bubbles!
The Write Stuff: Picture Perfect
We don't like to play favorites, but this camera is the boss! It is cute, graphic, retro and so easy to personalize from coloring or paper piecing to decorating with stamps and/or embellishments AND you can add sentiments or journaling on it! Talk about awesome and then there is a simple frame with a 2 inch x 2 inch opening perfect for Instagram pictures or scenes with tons of little captions to stamp on your picture or frame AND (lots of ands) there is two tiny adorable speech bubbles and little icons to add to your projects. Whew! Talk about a packed stamp set!

This camera is going to get a lot of mileage in my studio, I can assure you of that! It's so cute and easy to transform to any look you are going for. Just wait till you see the samples today! So Cool!!!
This card came together FAST! I stamped and used distress markers, water and a brush to color this time, and cut it out (very easy). [Distress Markers: faded jeans, tumbled glass, broken china, peeled paint, shabby shutters, mustard seed and spiced marmalade]
I love this trio of flashes. I remember coming up with them one night while writing in my journal. I knew I was going to use them with one of my favorite embossing powders - Judikens Aegean Silver - the glitter is iridescent and gives this card some fun shimmer. I also brought out my Ideology Film Strip Ribbon from Tim Holtz. The "aged" highlights in the ribbon are similar to the colors in the camera and it all adds to the retro feel. The sentiment is completely from
The Big, the Bold and Extras set. Lots of good words there!
I couldn't leave out our fun little icons from this set, so I created another quick card (minus drying time). I had this idea of making a string of the little icons together, and this is what I came up with - a sweet little hello card. The "hi" is from
The Big, the Bold and Extras and how perfect is that? The awesome green chevron is some washi tape that has been BEGGING to be used, and this was the perfect time.
I wanted to keep this card very white and very simple. This washi tape adds the perfect amount of interest and color - just added to the edge of the panel and wrapped around to the back. The panel is popped up with foam tape for a little dimension. The final touch was the addition of glossy accents on each of the icons and the speech bubble. Insert grin here!
Bubble Talk
This card really makes me happy! I see other people make cards like this, but it is rare for me and I'm not usually confident that I can pull it off. I think I did a pretty good job this time. This one did take a while, but it was still very easy. I knew I wanted the whole design to be off center, so I stamped our heart ledger from
The Write Stuff: Love Story and embossed in white on kraft card stock closer to the right side of the card. The "be you" and "you know it's true" sentiments are from Bubble Talk, as well as the rectangle speech bubble and the GIRL sentiment. Yes - Girl, you know it's true! Shay and I love these sentiments! I also added smile from.......yes, you guessed it....
The Big, the Bold, and Extras. You're Welcome! *wink*
The "be you" is colored with a worn lipstick marker and "you know it's true" is colored with Distress Ink dried marigold and spiced marmalade and the punch shape is an oldie from Stampin' Up! I stamped the bubble and sentiments on rich razzleberry paper (also from Stampin' Up!) and trimmed. The LOVE YOU circle is also from
The Write Stuff: Love Story and punched and both the bubble and the circle are on foam tape. While I had this fab set on my desk, I grabbed the large heart and stamped and clear embossed it at the bottom, and also grabbed the tiny heart from
You've Got Love Mail and used the same treatment in a different color at the top. Last but not least, I picked coordinating gems to sprinkle around.
Enjoy the fabulous projects ahead! You are in for a real treat!
Shay
I made a couple of cards using the two stamp sets together as I think they work so well together.
For my first card I had to without a doubt make a card saying "girl you know it's true". I know I am silly, but it makes me laugh every single time I see it. :-) I used ephemera from the Lemon Lush collection by Studio Calico along with stamped images. I stamped the outline oval speech bubble from
Bubble Talk on a piece of patterned paper from Studio Calico's Lemon Lush 6x6 paper pad and added "girl". I also stamped the solid rectangle speech bubble with passion flower Hero Arts Shadow Ink and then stamped the sentiment "you know it's true" in black from
Bubble Talk. I also stamped the tiny outline speech bubble from
The Write Stuff: Picture Perfect onto a heart patterned paper from the same 6x6 paper pad. Onto a piece of card stock I added a white doily and then arranged all of the elements down the left hand side of the card. I adhered them onto the card adding a daisy brad from the
May 2014 OhDeerMe Kit by Freckled Fawn. I also stamped the littlest flat outline sequin from
Scenery: Big Bang Bling (check for more on that tomorrow!) all around for interest and then scattered some real gold sequins. I decided later to pop up the girl speech bubble and tiny heart bubbles with dimensional foam adhesive.
My next card focuses upon
The Write Stuff: Picture Perfect. I had an idea come into my head for this and I hope it translated alright into real life. You know how it is when you imagine something and then it is a bit different in reality. So with the Printshop collection 6x6 paper pad by Studio Calico I paper pieced the camera...it is this a cool camera or what? I truly love how it turned out. Okay, back on task...I stamped in Versamark "smile" from
Bubble Talk into the open section of the camera. Yep, the space fits the sentiments from
Bubble Talk. I look forward to also using it for a little journaling for future projects. I also stamped "you're a rock star" and colored in the card stock with squeezed lemonade Distress Ink so it would stand out and cut around it placing it under "smile". I stamped the frame in black and cut out the center and added a little washi from the
April 2014 OhDeerMe Kit by Freckled Fawn for some interest. On a separate piece of card stock I stamped the flash images in butter bar Hero Arts Shadow Ink and added the silhouette from
The Write Stuff: Leave it to Mom stamped in tide pool Hero Arts Shadow Ink. For more drama I stamped the solid tiny speech bubble and added the exclamation point. I had some extra rectangles from my stamping of
Scenery: Rectangled & Triangled that I tore on the edges to give them a washi look. So fun! Last thing were the ubiquitous sequins. lol
