Hello Friend

Greetings Sweet 'n Sassy friends!  Kim here today to share a clean and simple card using the darling stamps from the Mini Tags & Sentiments set.  This great set, filled with tag shapes (to add color to your die cut tags), and sentiments is the perfect collection to have on hand in your studio.  The best part is that there is also a coordinating die set, which are made to fit with the tag shaped stamps!  WooHoo! 

To create my card, I simply die cut a bunch of tags and then stamped each tag with a different color.  Then just grab your favorite says about your BFF and stamp away!  I even added coordinating twine...so fun!  A simple embossed band was the perfect backdrop to those colorful tags.

Enjoy!!

Hello Friend

Hi everyone!  Kim here today, sharing a sweet CAS (Clean and Simple) card with you today.  I confess that I love the look of pure white on a card paired with a rainbow of colors.  And how about a whole bunch of tiny tags...so cute!  These darling tags were created by using the Mini Tags Die Set, which is stock full of tag shapes...eight in all!

Once I cut out all of my tags, I used the Mini Tags & Sentiments stamp set to add the color and words.  The stamp set comes with the solid shape of the tag (yes, there are eight stamps to match the die set!), enabling you to ink the stamp and add any color to the base of your tag.  I used a variety of Distress Inks to each tag and then added the words, using Archival Jet Black Ink.  The I set about finding coordinating twine to add to the end of each tag.  Once I embossed a piece of white cardstock, I'm simply added the tags, using foam tape.  And yes, I like my tags a bit crooked...

I hope you enjoyed today's card and that you're getting ready for the February release announcement...coming soon!!

Happy crafting!

Parade of Poppies

Hello Sweet 'n Sassy Friends!  Have you noticed how poppies are popping up everywhere? Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps has several fabulous new poppy stamp sets as well as some old favorites that can be used in many different ways and for many different occasions  I thought I would share several cards made with these stamp sets with you today!

The first card uses the new Precious Poppies stamp set,  Mini Tags & Sentiments,  Mini Tags Die Set, and Friendship Script Background.  Although I love using my Copics, this card was white embossed on Kraft card sock and watercolored with reinkers.  The colors seem to get a little more vibrant on the Kraft card stock with this technique.

And speaking of vibrant, this poppy colored with Copics seems to be popping right off the card!  The Poppy Background stamp was used behind the lattice, and the large poppy from Precious Poppies was used in the middle.

The final card uses an old time favorite, Poppies & Greetings.  The image was stamped several times across the middle panel and colored with Copic Markers.

Thanks so much for taking the time to visit with us today!  I hope you've been inspired by this Parade of Poppies!

Blessings to you....and have a wonderful day!

Hugs,

Cathy

Play. Laugh. Repeat.

Hello!  Today I have 2 different cards.  I love this image in the first one!  Play. Laugh. Repeat... what a great sentiment to accompany the awesome silhouettes in the set called His Child.  I adore the playful nature of this set!

The second card was for my neice who turned 16.  The cupcake dies are so fun to play with!  I also used a Mini Tag die and "sweet" is from Mini Tags and Sentiments.

Have a great Monday!
