Hello friend. Today is the final day for Sweet n Sassy Stamp's "Christmas in July" SALE! All winter and Christmas themed stamps are 25% off through midnight tonight! 

For my card today I used the super cute Happy Camper stamp and die set to create a fun little winter scene.  I highly recommend purchasing the coordinating dies as they are a real time-saver in cutting out all those little pieces!

My Happy Place

 Happy Saturday everyone! I'm sharing this clean and simple Valentine's Day card with you today.

 

I began by cutting a white cardstock panel with a stitched edge rectangle die. I stamped the banner from Happy Camper across the top with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink and the small hearts from Sweet Little Lamb in red along the bottom. Then, I stamped the camper (Happy Camper) on white and the sentiment from Love Wordfetti on pink.  I colored the banner and camper with Arteza Real Brush Pens and fussy cut the camper. I assemble as seen, cutting banner ends on the sentiment strips.

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

Puppy Love

Happy Saturday Everyone! There are four new digis in the house and all digi stamps are 50% off November 6-12, 2020.  I decided to play with GG: Puppy Love first since I love this sweet image. So cute!

 

 

After I printed her out on canson mixed media paper, I die cut the panel and colored with Arteza Real Brush Pens. I masked the bottom of the white panel and added some green ink just along the edge. After that, I wasn't sure what else to add to the card. I started digging through my stash of extra colored images and came across the sun from Melt for You and the flower pots from Happy Camper. I love mixing and matching elements from different sets!  I assembled the card as seen and added the sentiment from Sentimental Wordfetti. 

 

 

I hope you enjoyed today's card and may you have an awesome day!

Holiday Greetings

I'm showcasing a fun card with an easy layout today. I love the cute gnomes in the brand new Christmas Gnomes set! They pair well with the Christmas sentiments in the September Stamp of the Month, Holiday Greetings. 

 

For my layout today, I am using a previous sketch from Freshly Made Sketches (FMS451). I started by picking out my pattern paper from my stash (wonderful winter from My Mind's Eye). I stamped the gnomes and presents (from Happy Camper) on canson mixed media with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink. I colored them with Shuttle Art markers and fussy cut out. I cut a Kraft panel with a stitched rectangle die, adhered to a Kraft base and attached two strips of pattern paper. I stamped the sentiment with purely pomegranate ink (SU!) on the same cardstock and hand trimmed a banner end. I attached the adorable gnome and presents and added a little bit of Wink of Stella to the gnome to match the glitter on the pattern paper. There you have it, easy peasy and just my style!

 

 

Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulous day,

Karen

Winter Hugs

Hello Sweet 'n Sassy stampers!

It's Ceal, here to share a couple cards today featuring one of our December release sets Winter Hugs.

This set is so adorable with those sweet polar bears and penguins. 

I am late posting today as I have had no internet and then I remember I could hotspot off of my phone :)

To create these cards I started with a white top folding card base. The first oe I stamped the image and colored it using Copic markers. to create the background I used some stencils.

The second card I stamped the penguin and then masked it and stamped the igloo. The christmas lights are from another december release set Happy Camper and the greeting is from the Warmth of Christmas set.
