2 cards and a journal

 

Hello SNSS friends... happy Tuesday!

 

Today I have a couple of completely different projects to share!  First I have a card I recently made using my Snowman Soup stamp set (It now has matching dies!). 

 

 

I wanted to create a “hot cocoa” background…boy was that a challenge!  lol.  But I liked how it turned out. I just "smooshed" ink onto a craft mat, spritzed with water, and laid my cardstock on top.  My snowy guy was colored with Copics and popped up.  I masked off the word “you” in my sentiment and replaced it with a big diecut word.  Then I stamped a few extra marshmallows to float in my chocolately background.

 

My next card is for an anniversary and I used my Prim Blessings stamp set which ALSO has new matching dies…

And last I have a super quick journal I decorated.  I used the Sweet 'n Sassy sets called Wildflowers and His Peace.

 

 



This was reaaallly a quick project...I had about 20 minutes to make it.  LOL.  I started with a pre-purchased journal and picked out the sentiment I wanted to use.  Then I found a pretty flower image to stamp as a background.  I snapped a quick pic and sent it on it's way.  Later I realized that I forgot to add some pearls or bling!  ugh.  I hope the recipient likes it anyway!

 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Faith Hope Love

Oh my goodness! I just love these adorable sheep. Even though I collect giraffes, and that is my main animal (except for my dog, Fiona!), I have always had a soft spot for sheep. When I was about 7 or 8 years old, I was the surrogate mother for a sheep whose own mother abandoned it. My grandpa taught me to feed it with a huge rubber bottle cover/nipple and an empty Sprite bottle (they were glass then!). So -- here are some super cute ewes for you!

For my card, I chose Prim Blessings, along with the matching die set.

I stamped my sheep in Memento Tuxedo Black, and then used my C1, C3 and C5 Copics to make their wool and color them in. I used B000 and R83 for the extras. The sentiment is stamped on a cloud cut from the Happy Happy die set and the grass die can be found here.

The card and inset (sky) was purchased from a vendor at a stamp show. The sunflower was a perfect fit for the tent topper placement! I added some paper piercing around the edge for added visual interest. I stamped the inside lower left corner with the little "Blessings to Ewe" sentiment included in the set.

I love this cute set because it's so versatile and I can make lots of different designs with it!

Live Love Bloom

There is something about fall that just gives my soul such life. I don't know if it's the cooler air after the heat, or the changing leaves, or football season (ha!), or what. But there is a sense of renewal there for me, just like in the spring, after the cold.

I love the sentiment "live love bloom" from Prim Blessings. And for all the sunflowers out there, with their faces to the sun, that's exactly what they do. Today's card is a simple one -- but the bright colors and upside-down banners catch your attention.  I stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black, and then colored in with Copic markers. The sunflowers are cut with the Prim Blessings dies.

This is such a versatile set, and I plan to use it a lot! With its cute sheep, birds, and hearts, and the sunflowers above, I can get all sorts of occasions from it, even when it isn't fall!
