Parisian Thinking of You

Hi there!  I hope you are all staying warm and cozy.  I would like to share a card with you using one of our newest releases from Sweet N Sassy Stamps.

Take a peek:

I created a background by masking off the bottom section of my paper and stamping the flower image repeatedly.  I then stamped the butterfly, cut it out and adhered it with foam tape onto my circle which I had sponged while in the circle die.  I added some ribbon where the stamping ended, sewed the edges, stamped the sentiment, and added rhinestones to the butterfly and corners to finish off my card.

Supplies:

Paper- cryogen white, So Saffron, Basic Gray

Ink- So Saffron and Versafine Smoky Gray

Accessories- Gray taffeta ribbon, rhinestones, circle dies, sewing machine

Stamps- Sweet N Sassy Stamps Parisian Postcard (shown below)

Challenges I am entering my card in:

Pile It On- Hearts and/or Flowers

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge- anything goes

Cute Card Thursday- Stamping Mad

Sister Act Card Challenge- anything goes

Tuesday Throwdown- facets for crafting

Thanks for stopping by today, have a great weekend!

Natures Inspiration

Hi everyone!  I have a couple cards to share with you that I made as samples for a stamp store in my area.  I used Inspirational Word Art and Nature Silhouettes 2.  I love the fonts and encouraging sentiments and I think the beautiful nature stamps compliment them well.  I used papers from My Minds Eye Follow Your Heart collection.  I hope that you like them.

Here are the Sweet N Sassy products that I used on my cards:

     

Winter

I have a wintry card to share with you today using one of my favorite winter sets which is the Spectacular Snowflakes set from Sweet N Sassy Stamps.

I stamped several snowflakes in colors coordinating with my decorative strip of paper at the top of the card and then used the coordinating die set to cut them out.  I then stamped a sentiment from the Winter Silhouettes set and finished off by adding some rhinestones and twine at the top.

Here are the products that I used to create my card:

Happy New Year!

Hi everyone and Happy New Year!  It is hard to believe that 2014 has come to a close.  Time sure does fly doesn't it?

I am not a fan of snow at all which is rather ironic since I live in Buffalo, NY.  However, I really love snowman.  Sweet N Sassy Stamps has quite few adorable snowmen stamps in the store and I am sharing a couple cards with you using some of my favorites- Warm Hello and Snowy Hello.

I colored the image with copics and used stickles on the snow and the berries on the hat.  The dp is from Basic Grey's Jovial collection.

Here are the products that I used on my card:  

My second card uses the Snowy Hello set:

Once again I colored the image with copics and used stickles for the snow.  The dp is from MME Winter Wonderland.

Here are the products I used:

         

Thank you for visiting today.  I wish you all many blessings in 2015!
