Merry Christmas

So, this year for my Christmas card creating I have been a little stuck on the color green. It's no surprise that I'm using green again to create this fun card featuring the new Stamp of the Month Geometric Background. It's free with a $60 order, just make sure to add it to your cart.

I stamped the background with white pigment ink on white cardstock and embossed with white embossing powder. I inked up the embossed piece with bundled sage distress oxide ink, wiped off the excess from the embossed parts and heat set once more to make it shiny again. I die cut the panel and spritzed it with a sparkle shimmer craft spray. I added a border of dark green cardstock and attached to a white card base. 

Next, I stamped the apron from Sweet Treats on pattern paper and the towel portion on white cardstock and fussy cut them out. Then, I die cut the apron from white and glued all the pieces to form the apron. I stamped the ornament from Warm Winter Friends on white, colored with glitter gel pens and hand trimmed out. The sentiment is from the same set. 

I assembled the card as seen adding some white gems and popping the sentiment and ornament up with foam tape.

Sweet Birthday Wish

Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps is having an Instagram Inspiration Hop with the August Release. Won't you join us for the fun! My card today features Sweet Treats from the new release.

 

 

I started by finding my pattern paper and chose three coordinating patterns. I stamped the apron and oven mitts from Sweet Treats onto white cardstock with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink. I stamped the apron and oven mitts onto the pattern paper making sure to stamp the towel portion of the apron a second time on a different pattern. I fussy cut all the pieces and assembled my apron and oven mitts.

To create the background, I die cut a circle from an A2 panel and taped it down on top of another panel. Then, I stamped various images from Going Postal with different inks(see supply list below). I removed the circle template and die cut the bottom panel. 

 

I stamped the sentiment in the darkest brown, attached panel to a pink card base, popped the apron up with foam tape, glued down the oven mitts and added three small pink pearls to finish it off.

Made with Love

I am smitten with the new Sweet Treats set! I am having a blast paper piecing the apron and playing with all the accessories! For today's project, I decided to make a Memorydex card also know as a Rolodex card. It was fun to create in a different way!

 

I started by finding my pattern paper and chose three coordinating patterns from my Ninth Street paper pack (The Paper Studio). I stamped the apron, oven mitts and bowl onto white cardstock with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink. I stamped the apron and oven mitts onto the pattern paper making sure to stamp the towel portion of the apron a second time on a different pattern. I fussy cut all the pieces and assembled my apron and oven mitts.

I colored the bowl with a variety of watercolor brush pens and set aside to dry. I die cut my memorydex card(Heidi Swapp die) from Kraft cardstock. I added the first layer to the base with antique linen distress ink and the Delightfully Delicate stencil. Then, I distressed the edges with vintage photo distress ink and added little hints of blue with oceanside ink using a small stamp from Going Postal. 

I stamped the sentiment from Made New in ocenside ink and masked off one of the sentiments from Sweet Treats and stamped the bottom half with black. I assembled the card as seen, popping the oven mitts and bowl up with foam tape and adding a little bit of washi tape.

I hope you enjoyed today's project and have a great day!
