love you big time

Posted on February 4, 2021 | Leave a comment

Good morning! It’s the beginning of the month, which means there’s a great new release at SNSS! Today I am sharing two projects using the new Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps set called Good Morning. On this first card, I also used Much Love, Vintage Love, and Lollipop Alpha. I stamped and colored the clock, cut it out and layered it onto a patterned paper background. The clock face was stamped again onto patterned paper and paper pieced. This would be good for Valentine’s Day or any other time that you want to show someone how you feel.

For my second card, I used the clock from Good Morning again. This time I also used the new Texture Tiles 10 plus Make A Wish and Birthday Wordfetti. Since the background was kept simpler, I paper pieced the balloons!

Have a great day!

stamps- Sweet ‘n Sassy Good Morning, Much Love, Vintage Love, Lollipop Alpha, Texture Tiles 10, Make A Wish and Birthday Wordfetti; paper- white, SU! Soft Sky, SU! Wood Textures, Teresa Collins- Fabrications; ink- Memento Tuxedo Black; accessories- MISTI, Scor-Pal, Copics, SU! Classic Label punch.

nature silhouettes sympathy

Posted on January 29, 2021 | Leave a comment

Good morning! Today I am sharing a CAS card using the Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps sets Nature Silhouettes and Encouraging Peonies. Sympathy cards are not my favorite to make and unfortunately I don’t keep many on hand so I went CAS with this card. I always think of blue, purple, and green colors for a sympathy one. This was inspired by some cards my friend, Tina made. I actually messed up the sentiment and didn’t want to throw away the panel after sponging and stamping so I layered the sentiment on top of the oops. I kinda like this better…happy accident!

Have a great day!

going postal

Posted on January 28, 2021 | Leave a comment

Hello! I am just popping in with a card using the new Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps sets called Happy Mail and Going Postal. I knew when I first saw the postal set that I wanted to do a collage. There’s no rhyme or reason, no right or wrong way…it’s just fun to stamp images randomly and see how it comes out. I started with a light watercolor background and stamped over it when dry.

Have a good night!

snail mail

Posted on January 21, 2021 | Leave a comment

Good morning! Today I am sharing a few CAS projects using the new Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps set called Happy Mail. On my first card, I also used the ever popular Nature Silhouettes. Since I kept the images to a minimum, I chose to offset my panels to give it a little interest. I drew the tiny heart with a marker and a simple bow in the corner completed the card.

For my second CAS card, I also combined the Happy Mail set with Bold Birthdays and Birthday Wordfetti. The cute little snail is a little late to the party!

I gave him a sparkly little snail trail.

The last card is super clean & simple. I simply masked the snail and added a few envelopes for him to carry.

And I gave him another snail trail.

Have a great day!

more big cups

Posted on January 11, 2021 | Leave a comment

Hello! I have two more cards to share today using the new Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps sets called I Like Big Cups and Coffee Talk 2. I also used the awesome new Texture Tiles 9. They all coordinate together wonderfully!

As you know, I love to paper piece and I had fun piecing these big cups for a CAS card. How fun would it be to make a slimline card with a whole rainbow of cups?

I used the same sets for my second card but got a whole different look. This cup looks like something you would find in grandma’s china cupboard.

Go check the sets out…it’s a great release! Have a great day!

big cups

Posted on January 7, 2021 | Leave a comment

Good morning! I hope you are having a good start to the new year! Today I am sharing two projects using the new Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps set called I Like Big Cups. It’s a fun and very versatile set for all your coffee/tea/cocoa lovers!

This past year I sadly fell short in making Christmas cards. I always start in January and hope to make some each month but usually let it drop at some point until later in the year. I’m hoping to stick with it better this year! To get started, I paired a sentiment from Christmas Gnomes with the big to-go cup (paper-pieced of course!). The cup cards are perfect to include a gift card for a local coffee or donut shop.

My second card was made with a simple fold to tuck one of those gift cards into. I scored a 4 1/4 x 11 piece of cardstock @ 3 1/2 and 7 3/4. Then I trimmed a little off and punched the edge to get the size of pocket I wanted. And yes, I paper pieced another cup…my fave technique! Here I used another new set for the sentiment, Coffee Talk 2.

The sides of the pocket could be adhered with glue or double sided tape but I simply used two tiny staples.

Have a great day!

2020 wrap up

Posted on December 29, 2020 | Leave a comment

Hello! Popping in with a second post to wrap up 2020. Some of these are recent projects and some I just never got around to sharing.

This masculine birthday card uses SU! Best Catch and Catch of the Day Thinlits, Old Olive paper and Gina Marie Stitched Rectangle dies.

Next is a wintery card with one of the Anita Jeram kittens (Kittens and Mittens) from Colorado Craft Company. Anita Jeram is the illustrator of the children’s book, Guess How Much I Love you. Her designs are wonderful! The papers are MME- Merry Little Christmas.

The Fa la la framed art was made for a friend in our stamping group’s gift exchange. I started with a 7 Gypsies Shadow Box Tray. Dies: Spellbinders FaLaLa and Santa’s Parade (birds), Sizzix Endless Love Alpha, and Marianne Design tree- LR0136. Background paper: The Paper Studio- Silver Foiled Snowflake. The fence is a Martha Stewart Halloween punch with the bats removed and the wreath is a brad. The beaded snowflake is an old Jolee’s sticker and I added some Aleene’s True Snow around the tiny tree.

I was asked to make a name banner for a newborn baby with pink, gold, and butterflies. Here’s what I came up with. I used Momenta Banner and Alpha dies, Gina Marie Scalloped Stitched Circles, Sizzix Bold Flora dies, and an SU! Butterfly punch.

SU! Love of Leaves fall thank you card in non-traditional colors!

A bible journaling page from August in Pop Art style. The printables were created by Diane Noble.

I made a bunch of Rae Dunn style mugs but only got two finished into tags. I guess I have a good start for next year. lol. These were inspired by some I saw on the internet. I typed and printed a skinny font. The tag and mug dies are MFT. The accent images are from Sizzix Festive Treats dies.

They’re so cute on a package!

Next, I have two more fall projects. The first one is with a vintage Rubber Stampede Halloween Snoopy stamp and some old Cuttlebug dies.

And last is a CAS masculine thank you card. I used Gina Marie Chevron BKGD cutting plate, Altenew Bold Thanks, and Prima Forest Leaves.

Have a great week!

winter gnomes side fold & atc coin

Posted on December 29, 2020 | Leave a comment

Hello! Can you believe the end is in sight for this difficult year? Today I have two projects using the Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps set called Winter Gnomes. On the Side Fold card below I also used Christmas Gnomes.

I participated in an ATC Coin swap a bit ago. Here I also used Encouraging Peonies. I watercolored a background, die cut the circles, and then stamped. The little punched hearts were popped with foam tape.

Have a great day!

vintage romance

Posted on December 20, 2020 | Leave a comment

Good morning! I have two cards to share today using the new Vintage Romance stamp set. I also used Texture Tiles 7 on this first card. I am still in love with the macarons image and found some matching paper in my stash! If you like this layout, the middle square is 2″ and the side squares are 1 1/2″.

I used some papers from the same pack for my second card and stamped/layered the vintage bottles. Here, the three top strips are 1×4 and the bottom patterned paper piece is 2 1/4 x 4.

Have a blessed Sunday!
