Hello! I have a couple of cards today using the new Grunge Elements 3 set in this month’s Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps release. I also used Faith Phrases and Bold Birthdays. I used a MISTI to stamp the card base and blue cardstock so they would line up when layered.

The MISTI was used again on this card to mask the numbers and stamp them in different colors. This set is full of fun elements! A purple gemstone accents the crown and gives a little pop of a different color.

Have a great day!

Good morning! Today I have 2 cards in which I used the March Stamp of the Month: Fern Background, along with Garden Whimsy and Happy Day. For the white border on my first card and the die cut center on the second one, I also used Bookmarks & More Dies.

The fern stamp makes such a pretty background and I love it in purple! I definitely need to make more purple cards! I embossed a little texture on the black layer and colored the flowers with Copic markers.

The second card turned out bright and fun. I blended a few colors of Distress ink and stamped the ferns on top. The panel was cut down and layered onto a horizontal gate-fold card. I used a die from Bookmarks & More Dies to cut a window in the center. (I lined it up, cut one side, then lined it back up and cut the other side.) A left-over strip from the background was adhered to the left side of the card. The dragonfly was stamped onto another piece of ink-blended cardstock. This time I added a bit of blue.

The card opened…I added the scrap pieces that were die cut from the front panel to the inside.

Have a great day!

I am hopping today with two cards using the new Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps set Garden Whimsy and on the first card I also used the Puffy Clouds Stencil. I love that SNSS is now carrying their own stencils!

For the background on my first card, I started with a piece of Distress Watercolor cardstock. I used regular distress inks and a piece of acetate to make the “splatters”, then sponged some pink Oxide ink over the cloud stencil. The butterfly was heat embossed with gold onto pink paper and pink ink was blended on the sides of the wings. I added some accents with a white pen.

I repeatedly stamped the ladybugs onto a red panel for my second card and then stamped again onto a white circle to layer over top of one. The sentiment was heat embossed with gold powder.

Have a great day and thanks for hopping!

Good morning! It’s the beginning of the month, which means there’s a great new release at SNSS! Today I am sharing two cards using the new Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps sets called Gnome-one Like You and Texture Tiles 11. For my first card, I used the gnome watering a flower. How cute are those Crocs? I figured he needed equally cute socks to go with them. I blended some inks around the edges of the card and then stamped some flowers over top.

For my second card, I die cut a partial circle from some cute paper to accent the sitting gnome and pulled from the colors to color the image. I also stamped the sentiment in a matching color instead of my usual black. lol.

Have a great day!

Recently a local couple celebrated their 50th anniversary…what an accomplishment! With the pandemic, they weren’t able to celebrate with friends so a surprise card shower was organized for them. Here’s the card I sent. I used the Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps Rose Banner set and the awesome Number Dies which were recently brought out of retirement! I love those dies and isn’t this stamp set a pretty one?

I kept the card monochromatic and embossed the image in gold, then die cut accessories in gold and white. It’s difficult to see the white embossed background.

Have a great day!
