Cheerful Love

Happy Friday everyone, I have a sweet little snowman for you today.  I just love this sweet set from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps called Cheerful Snowmen and I know we are past Christmas and all but I thought he would make a great Valentine's Day card!  I did some watercoloring with my Arteza brush pens and the paper is from my scrap bin.  The sentiments are from Love Wordfetti also from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps. Stop over to the shop and check out the New January Release --> HERE!

Hello

Hello friends....  I have 2 quick note cards for you today using Cheerful Hexies from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps,  I absolutely love this stamp set.  I stamped the different colors first and then added the black outline hexies and sentiment.  I added some half pearls for some bling.  This is it for me for now, I will be back in a month after we are settled in our new home.  

Don't forget about the stamp of the month.  You can still get Singing Praises for a couple more days when you place a $75 order as well as free shipping.
Happy Crafting!

#1 Teacher

Hello friends, hope this finds everyone doing well.  I feel like I have been M.I.A.  Oh wait, I have been!  We are in the midst of getting ready to move in about 10 days, so I have been busy packing up my craft area/house- what a big job. I did find a little time to craft so today I have a cute little note card perfect for a child to give a teacher on the first day of school.  I love this new set Back To School by Jennifer Nilsson for Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps.  I colored with Copic markers and used a bunch of scraps for my background.

My second card features Singing Praises which is the Stamp of the Month by Nina Brackett.  Oh my goodness, just a precious stamp set so near and dear to my heart because I am a bird lover.  I colored with Copic Markers and again used up scraps.  I fussy cut the little flowers and added some pearls to the center.  You can get this set free for a few more days when you place a $75 order.  Hurry, you don't want to miss out!  I will be back with another post on Thursday but then that will be it for awhile as we transition into our new home and I get my craft room set up.

Hello

Hello friends, have you jumped on the mermaid bandwagon yet?  If not, check out this set from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps, so fun to play with!  Fin-tastic Friends by Jennifer Nilsson.  For my card I first made the sand with oxide ink and added a little texture with one of the stamps from Texture Tiles1. Next I masked off the sand and made the water again with oxide ink and spritz it with water to get the bubble look.  I colored all my characters with Copic Markers and fussy cut them to create my scene.

I decided to make a couple note cards using this month's STAMP OF THE MONTH, SENTIMENTAL WORDFETTI.  I love this set, you can use it alone or with other sentiment stamps for endless possibilities.  I paired it with Itty Bitty Blossoms, I colored with Copic markers and the design papers are both from The Paper Studios. SENTIMENTAL WORDFETTI IS FREE WITH YOUR $60 PURCHASE THIS MONTH!!!  As Always you get FREE SHIPPING WITH A $75 PURCHASE!
Happy Stamping,

Shoot For The Moon

Hello friends, I have a sweet card using one of the newest sets by Jennifer Nilsson called Over The Moon.  For the background I used distress inks then I added some stars with Versamark ink and heat embossed with silver powder. I cut out the moon and ran it through my cuttlebug with an embossing folder.  I colored the little guy with Copics and the background paper is from BoBunny.   You have one more day to take advantage of the early bird bundles, there are 2 this month- See Below. 

You can order either of these by clicking HERE.   Also don't forget about our Stamp of the month! This month is is Sentimental Wordfetti.  Such a fun set to play with and it is free with a $60 this month. 

I made a card using the Sentimental Wordfetti and an older set Made New.  First I stamped my butterflies with Versafine and then I used white embossing powder and heat embossed.  My next step was to use distress Oxide inks to add the colors, when you are done applying the ink just use a cloth to wipe it off the stamped images.   Wordfetti is such a versatile set you will find yourself going to it over and over again, great to use alone or use it along with sentiments you already own.  Remember as always, if you spend $75 you get free shipping!
Happy Stamping!

Summertime Fun!

Hello friends, have you seen one of the newest sets from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps called Mer-mazing by Jennifer Nilsson? Well, it is just that, Mer-mazing! So much fun to play with and perfect for all your  summer cards.

For my first card I used a stencil on the background with oxide inks and added some waves using a diecut.  I did not have a sun stencil so I made my own using the negative from a die.  I colored the mermaid with copic markers and fussy cut her, she is popped up on foam tape.

This next card I made my background stamping with oxide ink on kraft paper.  I decided to use a couple other stamps from the set, I love this cute little seagull.  One of our favorite places to vacation is Sanibel Island which is one of the best shelling places in the world so this set is close to my heart, I have a huge shell collections from all of our visits to the island. 

You still have a few days left to get this month's stamp of the month Happy Irises, spend $75 and it's yours for FREE!
