Conversation Hearts

Hello Sweet 'n Sassy Stampers! 

It's Ceal, here to share a couple Valentine cards with you today.

The first card uses an older set Heart Candy. I just love this set with the conversation hearts. I use to buy these also as an adult until the Necco company went out of business and now there are only the Brach ones which aren't as good. To create his card, I simply stamped the heart candy to cover the card front.

My Second card uses some newer sets in fact it uses one of our February releases, Birthday Borders.  I stamped the sweet kitty from the Lots of Love set using Copic friendly ink and colored it using Copic markers.  I used the Birthday Borders set to create the  bundle of balloons the he is carrying.

Candy Hearts Envelope Art

Have you seen the new set from Sweet N sassy called Heart Candy? I thought the candy box would make a great envelope label thus the decision to finally mark something off my "to-try" list. I have been wanting to do some envelope art for a while and finally decided that I was ready to dive in. While it isn't as "artsy" as it was in my mind during the planning stage, it is pretty fun (haha!)

Because I decided to color my “address label” with Copics, I had to stamp it on Copic friendly paper; otherwise I would have stamped it on my envelope and masked it before I decorated my envelope with some distress ink smooshing. I used the solid heart stamp and stamped hearts in the same distress inks (hoping they would blend.)

For fun I did a similar technique on a card base and colored and cut out a few of the conversation hearts to pop up on the card AND I made an extra one to use as a seal for my envelope (I ran it through my Xyron to make it a sticker.)  

This was a lot of fun and it is going to go to my sister’s class – I think they will like getting mail :)

I hope you are inspired to try something from your"to-try" list! Thanks for stopping by!

Heart Candy

Hello Sweet 'n Sassy Stampers! 

It's Ceal, here to share a couple of samples using our new release, Heart Candy. This set is super cute and super fun to use. 

My First sample is a shaker card made to mimic a box of conversation hearts.

I started with a white top folding card base and a white panel cut down a quarter of an inch smaller. I stamped the box and then cut out the shaker. I filled a cellophane pocket with a heart sequin mix and then placed it in the shaker window. 

My second sample just uses the hearts themselves in fun colors and sayings just like conversation hearts. 

Candy Heart.

 Hello! It's Monika here today with couple of extra SWEET cards. 

While I don't send out Valentine's Day cards, Heart Candy clear stamp set is perfect for other occasions... like birthdays!

I stamped 4 hearts on scrap paper, cut them out and used them as masks to make this cool and super SWEET background. The images were colored with Reese Brea shimmer paint.

The greeting is from Keep in Touch Too clear stamp set, a must have set with 20+ different greetings.

My second card is a mixed media style card. I am not sure what I was thinking as I was making it, but I like how it turned out! LOL! A little bit of distressing added a nice touch to this "cheer you up" card. Again, I used shimmer paint to add sparkle to my card. I got the silver glitter snowflake on clearance and it was the perfect backdrop to the pink heart... 

I hope I have inspired you to craft today!

Thank you for stopping by,

Monika

Good morning! I have a few Valentine cards to share today using the new Sweet ‘n Sassy Heart Candy stamp set. This set is so fun to use and brings back memories of those little boxes of candy! I also used In Stitches Alpha, So Sweet Cocoa, and Punny Love.

 

My first card is a pop-up box card which folds flat for placing in an envelope.

 

I added several of the stamped candies plus a few die cut hearts inside.

The word LOVE was stamped with the In Stitches Alpha and added to the back.

My second card is very CAS. I simply stamped the candies and hearts, then drew arms and legs with a black pen.

For my third card, I stamped the hearts and drew lines to "hang" them for decorations. Cocoa Mouse with his valentine cupcake is enjoying the party!

Have a great day!

Heart Candy.....

{jane bosi}  I am completely loving this month's releases!!!  My first card features Punny Love.  This set is such fun, I can barely put it down!!  It's a simple one layer-ish card that would be easy to mass produce if that's your thing.  I colored the images with various distress inks and an aqua brush.  To make the hearts pop, I added a bit of dimensional glue to each one.

My second card features Heart Candy and has a vintage kind of feel to it. 

The minute this set was in my hand, it demanded a shaker box.  So, I pulled out a few old school techniques such as paper piecing and shaker box making.  Tried and true, good old techniques.  The scallop image running through the red panel is a retired Sweet N Sassy set called Borders and Backgrounds.  I love the candy heart sayings that are perfect for just about anyone!

That's all for now--go get inky!

TTFN, Jane
