Today, I am sharing several cards I made using Half Pint Heroes - which just happens to be the cuuutest set EVER! I made this card for my Step-Daughter Meredith who's dream car is a VW Bug, green convertible!
After coloring the car using a variety of Copic Markers, I cut it out & stitched some white wall buttons on then popped it up on a frame that was stamped with an image from Very Vintage labels No. 10 & cut/embossed with a S5-022 Labels Ten die template. I love the retro look of this car!
Next up, is this lil' guy in a submarine. I learned how to make the die cut waves using a S4-242 Big Scalloped Borderabilities® Petite die template from Spellbinders™ Blog Author Beth Pingry - (Click HERE to see her tutorial).
Did I forget to mention that Half Pint Heroes is overflowing with so many images & sentiments that can easily be mixed & matched for all sorts of occasion cards?
Next up, this lil' rocketship. Notice the countdown image on the right hand side - so much fun!
This set is quite versatile & can be used for so many occasions.
After seeing 3 days full of samples from Claire, myselft & the Waltzingmouse DT - which is your "must have" set?
To continue with the Waltz, please visit Carly's blog to see what she has to share with you!

Hi Mona !! Thanks so much for your sweet comments on my blog I really appreciate them. You're a busy person with lots of comments to reply to so I appreciate it even more. These three cards are so cute. The submarine one is my favorite.
I love your samples and love the green bug with no boy face! I already can't wait for the girly half pint set! Great way to use this one for non-boy cards!
Absolutely adorable! I love how you showed that Half-Pint Heroes isn't all about the boys!
These are all super cute, although I have to say I love the submarine the best- great waves! Definitely gonna need that set-lol!
I love the car! I normally think of masculine cards with cars, but the background and colors makes it very feminine. Thanks, Candy
Your cards are adorable! I love the buttons you use on the volkswagon.
Just love those cute little cards. Can't wait to get my hands on that set, as my two little half pints will love colouring the images as much as Mommy.
I just adore your cards--they are just the cutest!
