Light It Up

 Hi friends! It's Julee here, popping in with a little mid-week inspiration. May is always such a busy month with all sorts of end of year projects, activities, and celebrations. This year seems more hectic than most, but maybe that's because last year was 2020 and there was nothing going on. Haha! Anyhow, this is the time of year by necessity my crafting usually turns to a clean & simple style. So my card today has lots of white and lots of bright!

Rebecca's Count Your Rainbows set seemed like the perfect start for not only a clean & simple design, but also for the rainbow color challenge  in our VIP Facebook group this month. If you haven't played along, there's a prize up for grabs if you enter by May 31. All the details are in the group.

I started by stamping the larger rainbow image and the sun in black ink, then lining up the stitched rainbow lines and stamping over the rainbow.  I then colored with Copic markers and die cut with the coordinating Count Your Rainbows Die Set.  The cloud was stamped in two shades of purple ink, then die cut.

For the sentiment, I thought the you light up my life phrase from My Punny Valentine (on sale this week) went well with the images, so stamped and cut in a circle.  I finished off with a background panel embossed with a rays folder for some texture, then layered up my die cut images on different levels of foam tape for dimension.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope you have a fabulous day! If you haven't heard this week's sale is 25% off Korin Sutherland's sets. No code needed, while supplies last through May 27.

Lemons and Lettering

 Hello!  

Have you been enjoying Customer Appreciation Month?  Sweet n Sassy Stamps has such talented artists.  

When I think lettering, Rebecca Rios pops into my head!  I love her calligraphy and sentiments.  Life and Lemons is one of my favorites of hers~

Rebecca's letters are exquisite and because of that you can keep your card fairly CAS and the lettering alone will make it shine!  But this lemon though...I love this stylized lemon.  It was stamped on watercolor paper and colored with Ken Oliver Colorbursts.  It was then fussy cut out.  The card base was stamped with the same lemon and leaf, only this time it was stamped randomly in light gray.  A couple of white panels set the lemon apart and lastly, the sentiment is stamped.  a few sequins finish off the card.  

And I cannot forget one of her newest sets, Count Your Rainbows with coordinating dies.  This is such a fun set!  I needed some thank yous for some students at school; this was the perfect set.  I made simple 3 x 3 cards using the smallest rainbow and coordinating die, along with one of the cloud dies.  

The rainbow is colored with Copics and the sentiment is heat embossed on black cs.  The sentiment is from the Scripty Thoughts Stamp set. 

Rebecca's sets are currently on sale through May 20th, so now is the time to stock up!  

Thank you for stopping by! 

Have a blessed week!

Itty Bitty Birthday

 

Hello Sweet 'n Sassy Stampers!

It's Ceal, here. Today I have a couple cards to share with you. The first one uses the Itty Bitty Blossoms set. 

To create this card I started with a top folding white card base and a white panel. I Masked off a one inch strip and then ink blended it with some Peacock feathers distress ink, then stamped some of the florals from the Itty Bitty Blossom set.

This sentiment is from the Birthday Wordfetti set.

The second card uses the Count Your Rainbows set, along with the Coordinating Dies. 

Wo doesn't love rainbows right?

To make this card I started with a top folding card base, black card stock and some patterned paper. 

I stampd the images and colored then using alcohol markers then cut them outwith the coordinating die.
