~Set measures approximately 6"x4" and sells for $15
~Images measure approximately 1.5" x 1.5"
~Illustrated by Korin Sutherland

Here is the card I have to share with you today:



I stamped the sweet little bird 3 times (twice onto patterned paper and once on the vanilla).  I cut the 2 patterned birds out, used an exacto knife to cut around the wing on one of them and then adhered the 2 birds together before popping them up over the bird stamped on vanilla.  Patterned paper is an older DCWV 4X6 pad called Nana's Nursery baby boy.  I just love how the little birds in the paper coordinate so well with the image so I knew I wanted to make a card with it.  I used the scallop border die along the bottom.

Here is a close up showing the dimension on the bird

Day 4- Bottom of My Heart

Today is day 4 of the Sweet N Sassy stamps January release. The set being featured today is:

 Bottom of my Heart 

The set measures 4X6 and is $15.  I love this set with all the different shapes, sizes, and patterns of hearts.  I have been having so much fun playing with it.  There are also coordinating heart dies!

Here is the card I have to share with you today:

 

I die cut 2 hearts using the coordinating heart dies and stamped one with versafine onyx and the other with TH distress fired brick. I used some gorgeous papers from Echo Park Yours truly collection which were a gift from my BFF Korin- thanks girl, I love them!! The layout was designed by Korin and was the sketch on SCS this past week. Rhinestones and twine were used as accents.

Here is the inside of the card:

Poinsettia Christmas card

Hi everyone, I would like to share a CAS Christmas card that I made.  I chose the beautiful poinsettia stamp set from Sweet N Sassy stamps which is currently out of stock for my card but this image is also available as a digi so if you still need to finish some cards up, perhaps that will do the trick.

I stamped the poinsettia image twice onto Neenah white cardstock and colored them with copics.  I then fussy cut them out, omitting some of the petals and the leaves from the second image.  I popped it up with foam tape over the embossed panel and gold netting and added some gold stickles and gold pearls for a bit of glitz.  The sentiment which I stamped in black is from the Christmas Joy set.  A fairly simple card to make.


Supplies:
stamps- Sweet N Sassy stamps Poinsettia set and Christmas Joy
Copics- R43, R46, R39, G40, G43, G46
accessories- gold pearls, gold netting, gold stickles, foam tape, Sissix poinsettia emboss folder

I hope that you enjoyed the card I shared today.  I would like to wish each of you a very blessed Christmas and all the best in the New Year!

Old Fashioned Collage Christmas

I have a collage Christmas card to share with you today. I used the Sweet Stop sketch this week for my layout. I distressed all the edges with scissors, sponged with ink and created a tag. On the tag, I first stamped Light of Christmas bg with red ink but stamping off once before stamping on the tag. Next I used the Snowflake flourish set and stamped the flourish over the bg with red ink as well. Finally, I stamped my image from Old Fashioned Christmas with black ink.

Supplies: 
stamps- Light of Christmas bg, Snowflake Flourish, and Old Fashioned Christmas all from SNSS 
paper- Confetti White, black, Aspen Frost dp, MME Dilly Dally dp
accessories- black twine, black pearls, seam binding, button

Fussy and Fancy- Tags and Banners

Ornamental Christmas

Wow, have things been busy! I bet many of you have been going through the same craziness. I actually have been making cards but just have not posted them here- bad me lol. So, anyway I thought I would share one of those cards with you today.  I am going to apologize for the horrible picture.  For some reason no matter how many time I took the picture I could not get the colors to appear like they do IRL.  Anyway...

 

I absolutely love this Vintage Ornaments set from Sweet N Sassy stamps. The ornaments were stamped 3 times and cut out and popped up with foam tape. I used stickler, rhinestones, and silver cord to accent them. The white bg panel was embossed with a snowflakes cb folder. I layered the scalloped borders at the top which were cut with the scallop border dies from SNSS.

Supplies: Stamps: Vintage Ornaments Ink and CS: Bravo Burgundy, Celery, Baja Breeze from SU accessories: rhinestones, stardust stickles, metallic edge ribbon, Scallop edge border dies, Snowflakes embossing folder, Word Window punch, silver cord
