Thankful Booklets

 Hi Everyone! This is Michelle here today! I am the newest member of the design team and I am so happy to be here with all of you!

I wanted to share with you 2 little booklets I made. This time of year always starts me thinking about being thankful. I don't know if it's because of the Fall season or because Thanksgiving is right around the corner.

I made 2 little booklets using one sheet of 12x12 paper each. Inside I added 1 scripture about thankfulness on each page. There are 6 pages. I even have a little room to journal on each page or add a photo.

I used 3 stamp sets to create the front covers. The lettering comes from the In Stitches Alpha  set. That wonderful sunflower is from the  Like a Sunflower set an the adorable little fox is from the Fur-ever Friends set. I colored all the images with alcohol markers.

Here you can see what the inside looks like.

Here is a quick and easy diagram of how to fold the paper if you want to make your own booklet. They are great for collecting verses, recipes or photos.

Enjoy your weekend and get crafty!

Hello everyone! Today I want to show you a card I made with the 'In Stitches' Alpha and the flowers from 'Be a Flamingo'.

The alpha stamp sets give you lots and lots of possibilities. You can write every word you want and they're perfect for bible journaling pages. But I also like to use them on cards to create short words. That's what I did for this card.

I stamped the word 'love' on patterned paper and cut it out. I stamped the leaves and flower and colored them with alcohol markers and cut them out too. After that I created the background with the hearts with a stencil and some purple ink. I die cut a circle out of patterned paper and adhered the stamped elements on top of it. I added a couple of enamel dots and sequins to finish the card.

Friendship & Love

Happy Monday everyone!  Today I have a sweet little friendship card for you using a couple of sets from the new release.  First I made my background panels by doing some smooshing, is that even a word?  I put down some distress inks on to an acrylic block and misted with some water, next, I put a baggie on my hand and picked up the ink with it and smooshed it onto the mixed media paper.   After my paper dried I inked up the Hearts from Forever & Always and Filigree Hearts misted them with water and stamped.   I colored the girl from Girl Power 2 with copics and paper pieced her shirt with some of the background paper I made.

This next card is just a quick and easy note card using In Stitches.  For this card I decided to paper piece the letters instead of coloring them in.  The designer paper is from The Paper Studios.  I was not going to put the little heart on the "O" but after I had everything glued to the card I noticed a little blotch of ink so instead of tearing the card apart I added a heart!  Make sure you check out all the new stamps sets this month and remember if you spend $75 you get the stamp of the month-Made New absolutely free and as always free shipping with a $75 order.  Happy Crafting!

heart candy

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!

Diane

 

 

Valentine Love

Hello everyone, 

It's Ceal, here to share with you a couple cards using the Filigree Hearts set which is our January Stamp of the Month. You are not able to purchase this set but can earn it free with a $75 purchase through the month of January. 

It's a great set to have on hand for your valentine card making and I don't know about you but Valentines is one of my favorite holidays to make cards for.

On my first sample I paired it up with a couple of our other sets In Stitches Alpha and All About You.

My second sample uses the Hearts Filigree and In Stitches Alpha again but this time embossed for a little more elegant card. 

In Stitches Alpha

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

I took a momentarily break from holiday cards, and made a Valentine's Day card... although you could use this all year around.

It's really hard to see, but the stitched words (In Stitches Alpha clear stamp set) and the llama (Llama Love clear stamp set) are painted with pink and brown Reese Brea shimmer paint. I've been enjoying this paint a lot lately... I used water color card stock. Stamped the images with Onyx Black VersaFine ink, then I just colored the images using an aqua painter brush.

My second card was made with the same Brea Reese shimmer paint, but using only blue. It was super easy to apply it onto the water color card stock, and made an amazing looking background.

 I stamped the nativity and the star images from O Holy Night clear stamp set and the greeting from Thoughtful Words clear stamp set on the panel with Onyx Black VersaFine ink. 

Those 'white' looking specs are the shimmer particles in the paint! Gorgeous in real life!

Thank you for stopping by,

Monika

Merry Stitches

Hello Sweet 'n Sassy Stampers! 

It's Ceal, here to share a card using one of our brand new releases. I love this new set In Stitches Alpha, it's so versatile. I am currently doing a series on my own blog, 25 days of Christmas Inspiration so I chose to use the letters to make a Christmas card. 

To create this card I started with a crumb cake side folding card base and a white pane cut a quarter of an inch smaller. Using the In Stitches Alpha I stamped the word Merry and then masked it off. For the pine branches I used the Christmas Pine set.
