My card today features I Like Big Cups, Cheerful Hexies and Birthday Wordfetti. I wanted to create a bright and cheerful CAS card. I stamped the large hexagon in six bright colors, cut out and attached to a die cut panel. I embossed the coffee cup with black embossing powder and colored with Arteza Real Brush Pens. I stamped the sentiment on green with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink, trimmed down and added a banner tail to it. I popped the image and sentiment up with foam tape. I decided not to add any embellishments and to keep it clean and crisp. 

I hope you enjoyed today's card and have a fantastic day!

Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps January Release Hop & Giveaway

 I'm sharing two cards today featuring three of the new January Release sets. 

My first card features two of the new coffee themed sets, I Like Big Cups and Coffee Talk 2. I love coffee and collecting coffee stamp sets!

 

 

I wanted to create a little bit snarky non-traditional color Valentine's Day card. I started by embossing the hearts from Grunge Elements 2 in clear embossing powder on bristol smooth cardstock. I cut the panel with a stitched rectangle die, ink blended with chipped sapphire distress oxide ink and added a piece of washi tape. 

I stamped the coffee cups with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink onto white cardstock and pattern paper. I stamped the lids a second time and coffee sleeves on white. I fussy cut the cups, lids and sleeves. I stamped the sentiment from Coffee Talk 2 and XO from Much Love with chipped sapphire on the coffee sleeves. 

I paper pieced the cups together. I stamped Happy Valentine's Day from Love Wordfetti on white and cut a banner tail. I assembled the card on a white card base popping one of the coffee cups and sentiment up with foam tape. 

 

My second card features the fun new set Background Builders: Stripes and I used a previous layout from Freshly Made Sketches.  

I began by stamping the thicker stripes from Background Builders: Stripes with buttercup ink on so saffron cardstock to create a tone on tone effect. I cut the panel down and mounted on a black panel. Next, I stamped the Delightfully Delicate Background with VersaMark ink on a kraft cardstock base. 

I stamped the teapot from In This Together, with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink, colored with Arteza watercolor brush markers and fussy cut out. I stamped the sentiment with black ink on kraft cardstock and assembled the card popping the sentiment up with foam tape.
