Good morning! Today I have two quick & easy cards to share with some new Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps. Here I used the August Stamp of the Month set… Coffee Talk. The funny thing is that I don’t drink coffee. But I do enjoy making coffee cards for others! They are always perfect, too, for tucking a gift card inside to a local coffee shop.

For my first card I stenciled some morning rays and layered an old die cut window I found in my stash. It was just what I needed to “sit” the coffee cup on.

Next I repeatedly stamped a cup and sentiment for a background. I planned to add a layer with my focal image but I liked the background so much that I didn’t want to cover it up. I decided to make one of the cups my focal image instead. A scrap of patterned paper was used to paper piece the cup.

Grab a cuppa and have a great Thursday!

Good morning! Today I have two cards to share with some new Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps sets. Here I used Flower Garden, True Beauty, and Bee Sweet. Such fun sets to work with…it’s another month with awesome new sets! Aren’t these flowers pretty?

Both of my cards today are pretty quick and easy. Some simple coloring is all that’s needed! I added an embossed border to my second card and attached the butterfly in the center so it’s wings can pop up.

Have a great day!

The stamp set that I’m using today, True Beauty, sure is a true beauty! So many possibilities with this set! First I just used the outline stamp to create a CAS pink and black card.

Next I used a few of the flower images together to make a square Joy Fold style card. The flaps of the two sections overlap when closed.

The base is 4 1/4 x 6 3/8, scored at 2 1/8. The smaller card layer is 3 x 6, scored at 3. I wanted the center to be left open for a hand-written message so I stamped my sentiment on the left flap.

Have a great day and thanks for hopping!

Good morning! Today I have two cards to share with some new Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps sets. Here I used County Fair Alpha, True Beauty, and Flower Garden. For both cards I wanted the words to stand out so I first stamped the alphabet in black ink. I stamped the flowers on the first card in lighter shades of blue and layered it onto a matching card base. So simple but pretty!

For my second card I decided on the word “bloom” and then had the idea to have a flower actually blooming from it. Another simple card but whimsical and cute.

Have a great day!

Good morning! Today I have two cards to share with a new Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps set this month called Way Maker. This is a great bible journaling set but can also be used for cards and other projects. My first card was obviously inspired by the song!

For my second card, I tried to create the look of a quilt. I’m not sure how successful I was, lol, but it was fun trying. ha ha.

Have a good day!

Hello! I’m popping in with some cards using the new Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps set called My Father’s House. It is a bible journaling set but can be used in many other ways. Here I created two note cards. Are you missing your church friends and worship service or has your church opened back up? If it has, how is it different? What do you miss? Ours is opening this weekend and I have to admit that I have mixed emotions. I want to go back but I know that it will be so different. I think it will be a while until we get back to normal and even then it probably won’t be the same.

Maybe it’s not supposed to be.

Here’s my cards…

On both cards I placed a clear epoxy sticker over the circle window. On my second card, I also used Time Well Spent and Springtime (for the flowers). The paper pad is MME- Just Sayin’.

Have a good day!
