Esther here today sharing this pretty spring card! I started by stamping the Typewriter Text Background in Vintage Photo Distress Ink (Ranger) on kraft card stock. Next I used the Going Postal stamp set to create a background on white card stock using Versafine Clair Fallen Leaves Ink. I used vintage photo distress ink again to add the Script Stencil to in the corners and to ink around the edges of my cardstock.

The flowers are from the Spring Blossoms stamp set and were stamped in Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink and colored with Arteza Real Brush Pens. I added a little butterfly to the corner from the Begin Again stamp set. A few sparkly sequins finish off this card.

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!
Happy Monday! Esther here today sharing two cards that feature my new favorite way to add texture and interest to my card fronts --- by dry embossing over stamped images!
This first card is done up in a fun collage style. Since it's a stamping-only card it's great for those days you just don't feel like coloring or maybe don't have enough time to do something up right.
I created the collage background by stamping images from Going Postal and Nature Silhouettes in Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink.
I embossed the background with the organic linen 3D embossing golder from Altenew, and added some sweet little butterflies (Made New stamp set) stamped in three colors of distress oxide (Tumbled Glass, Kitsch Flamingo, and Evergreen Bough).
My second card features one of the NEW digital stamps released this month --
I
printed it on all four corners of my card and used Arteza Real Brush
Pens to give it a messy watercolor look. After some text stamping (Psalm 23 Background) and
paint splatters, I used the same organic linen embossing folder
to add a bit of texture to my card panel.

It's the first of the month and you know what that means? If you guessed new stuff, you're right! Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps will be releasing new Digital Stamps all month long! Today SNSS is releasing two new digi sets perfect for Mother's Day cards and beyond.
For today's card, I am using Rose in Bloom by Jennifer Nilsson.
I started by sizing and printing the rose image and sentiment. I colored the image with watercolors and fussy cut out. I stamped the notebook paper from Your Story with Antique Linen Distress ink on ivory cardstock. I hand trimmed out, hole punched the side and stamped images from Going Postal with Vintage Photo Distress ink. I die cut a piece of patterned paper from my stash and assembled as seen wrapping twine around the front. I popped the image and sentiment up with foam tape and added three small pearl embellishments.
All of Jennifer Nilsson's sets in this category are on sale through May 6th! Check it out!

{janebosi} Hey Friends! We've had so much coffee goodness with this month's release--and, let's face it, 'tis the season for warm cozy drinks. We've hit a cold snap here in Wisconsin and have been in "feels like" below zero temperatures for a good week now! It is time to enjoy the cocoa, coffee, tea--whatever to keep those insides toasty.
Tomorrow, we have a super fun collab coffee blog hop so today I thought I'd warm you up a little with a few other goodies I've been working on.
My first two shares feature the Going Postal set. This gorgeous vintage set was designed by . The scripty image is actually handwriting of a beloved member of her family. I just love that! There is something so intimate and comforting about a loved ones' handwriting. I have an autograph book from my childhood--when those were a thing! I love seeing the penmanship of my grandparents, parents and aunts and uncles.
The little gnomie from Winter Gnomes pairs perfectly with a sentiment from the new Coffee Talk 2 set. Who doesn't relate to "coffee before talkie?" I added some stripes to the background piece with the new Background Builders: Stripes set as well.
Hello!
I have a couple of Valentines to share with you today, both of which are a mash up of old and new Sweet n Sassy Stamps Stamp Sets.
This card is so easy; just 3 little stamps and done! I stamped the airplane from the new Going Postal Stamp Set. The 'old' is the wonderful heart 'jet stream', which is actually the steam from the Tea for Two Stamp Set. I love this double duty for these hearts! The sentiment is perfect for this combination of images and is from the Happy Mail Stamp Set. And that's it! No coloring, masking or anything time comsuming. I added three die cut clouds and some patterned paper.
Card number two also uses the Happy Mail Stamp Set~
I stamped two of the envelopes from the set multiple times and connected them with dashes. At the end of the trail is the adorable hot dog from the Lots of Love Stamp Set, another 'oldie but goodie'. The images were stamped on watercolor paper and colored in with Daniel Smith Watercolors. The sentiment, from the Love Wordfetti Stamp Set, connects everything together.
What do you have in your stash that you can mash together? For Valentine's cards, these sets can't be beat!
Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed week!
Lee Ann
