Punny Valentines

Hello Sweet 'n Sassy Stampers!

It's Ceal, here. Today I am sharing some valentines I made for the kids at church. I used the set Punny Love. This set has 13 different images in all and would make a great addition to your stash if you don't have it. 

These were super quick and easy to make I cut the small hearts out with white cardstock, stamped the images and colored them and placed them on rainbow colored larger hearts. 

here are some closeups 

Florals on a Wintry Cold Day

 Hello, Hello!

I have some florals to share with you today. 

The new Floral Background Stamp is super versatile- use it on your whole background and highlight a sentiment, or use in smaller doses, as I have done with this coffee card. 

I started with the I Like Big Cups Stamp Set and Stamped the To Go Cup on Neenah Solar White cs.  I then stamped the Floral Background Stamp over the cup, giving it a floral pattern.  The image was then colored with Copics.  The lid was stamped twice, the second lid being popped up on dimensional tape.  I added a corrugated cup cozy to finish the cup.  I cut strips in red, yellow and navy and then did some tone on tone stamping on each strip using the Texture Tiles 1 Stamp Set.  The sentiment from the Punny Love Stamp Set is perfect with this set.  The little hearts are also from the Punny Love Set.  

Here is the same Floral Background Stamp, this time being used for the entire background panel.  

The background was stamped multiple times using my MISTI to cover the panel.  Then background was then colored with a 'C' Copic marker.  The flowers were colored a very pale peachy red color.  I added a sequin to every flower center. The sentiment, Praise the Lord, is from the Faith Phrases Stamp Set.  I heat embossed it in Pewter embossing Powder.  A die cut wreath and more sequins finish the card.  

This last card uses one of my favorite florals that I really don't use enough.  Especially with all of the sentiments it comes with.  

I used Arches Watercolor paper and Versafine Onyx Black ink to stamp this gorgeous image.  I then used some Jane Davenport Watercolor Brush Pens that I found on clearance at Micheal's.  $5- what a steal!   This was the perfect time to practice watercoloring 'loosely'.  Loosely is not in my vocab when it comes to crafting.  This was my best shot at it.  It ended up being not so loose.  

I fussy cut the image out and then found a panel in my stash that I had made with acrylic paints.  The colors were perfect with the image.  Some texture was added to another panel using an embossing folder.  Finally some gouache spatters and sequins finish the card.  

I hope I took you away to warmer days for a few minutes and also inspired you to craft!  

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed rest of the week!

Punny cards

Hello everyone! A little throwback to one of the 'older' sets from this year. I love all the punny sentiments in this one and they work great on cards.

I stamped the images on marker paper and colored them with alcohol markers. After that I stamped the sentiments and I used a die cut to cut out the tags. I added a little ribbon on the top of the tags and searched for some matching background papers. I added a couple of pearl drops to finish the cards.

I used the stamp set Punny Love for these cards.

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!

Punny Valentines | Julee Tilman

Hi Sweet 'n Sassy friends! It's Julee Tilman, popping in with some inspiration using the new Punny Love stamp set. Isn't this set adorable?

When Korin showed us the artwork for this adorable set, I just knew I had to have it. My boys are totally crazy for waffles, ramen, and puns, so I started out with the I love you a waffle lot image. I colored the waffle with Copics and then picked some papers from my stash to match. Then I did a teeny bit of surgery on my stamp to detach the waffle from the sentiment. I stamped one waffle on the designer paper, then masked it and continued stamping down the column.  The punny image and sentiment are cut with a circle die to finish off this simple valentine.

Next I worked on a Valentine for my hubby. We have a long standing battle over what happens to the person who doesn't pull a new stick of butter from the freezer when they use up the butter in the fridge. So I thought the you're my butter half pun would be perfect for a card for him. I used some rounded rectangle dies to cut the image and designer paper to play on the shape of a butter stick. Classy and not too frilly, I think this will be a perfect manly valentine to give my sweetie.

 Thanks so much for stopping by today. I have four more punny valentines using this set over on my blog today, so hop over there for more inspiration.

A little LOVE

Hello friends, Stephanie here today with a couple sweet Valentine's Day Cards.  Valentine's day is one of my favorite holidays to make and send cards for.

This first card features Punny Love which has to be one of the cutest stamp sets ever!  I kept it pretty simple here just using 3 of the main stamps from the set and then the little hearts.  I colored with copics and there is no designer paper (shock) and no sewing (double shock).

This next set features our Stamp of the month set called Filigree Hearts. First I stamped some of the hearts onto mix media paper with versafine ink and heat embossed with white ink then  I did the smooshing technique with some distressed oxide inks and splattered with some water.  I mounted design onto black cardstock and sewed around the edges.  Remember this set is FREE with a $75 purchase!

Pizza & Bacon

Hello! Today I want to share a couple of Punny Love cards with you. I love that you can make quick cute cards with this set.

This card isn't so hard to make. I stamped the image on marker paper and colored it with a few red and cream colored markers. I used a die cut to make the tag and added a light grey distressed border to it. After that all I had to do was to pick a nice patterned paper for the background and a couple of items to add to the card.

 

For the second card I used the same idea. I colored the image with alcohol markers and used a green border on the tag this time. I added a few enamel dots and a ribbon to finish the card.

I used the stamp set Punny Love.

I hope you're inspired to create something today!

Punny Love

There is a new January release at Sweet N Sassy called Punny Love and it is A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E and so choc full of potential for sweet projects from Valentines to inspiration cards!

I found some mini envelopes (4.125"x 2.75") and created little Valentines - I am working on a "class set". I used the little hearts from the set and with versamark, created tone on tone decoration for the envelopes.

While I was making minis, I made some fun little lunchbox cards. Don't you think kiddos will get a kick out of getting these in their lunch boxes!?

I also thought some of these sentiments could be used for encouragement for kids so I made a simple card using the "egg-stra special" image.

These are all quick and easy and so much fun you will want to stamp them all!

I hope you are inspired today! Thanks for stopping by!!

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

Punny Love

Hello sweet friends!  It's hard to believe that 2019 has arrived (where did 2018 go?)...hope you all had a fantastic New Year's Day!  Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps is starting 2019 off with a bang.  I've been having so much fun with the new Punny Love Stamp Set in the January Release.  I have to warn you...once you start playing with this set, it's hard to stop.  I have four cards to share with you today using this adorable stamp set!

The hearts from the Grunge Elements 2 set were white embossed on a piece of heavy mixed media paper and the panel was smooshed over watered down Oxide Inks on my craft mat.  The grid from the Texture Tiles 1 stamp set was then stamped over the panel for added texture.  The donut image was colored with Copic Markers and Glossy Accents applied over the icing.  A few sequins were added to finish the card.

The muffin card was made the same way except the script stamp from Texture Tiles 1 was used instead of the grid.

The third card is very clean and simple.  All images were colored with Copic Markers and Glossy Accents was added to the hearts.

The plaid background on the fourth card was made using one of the plaids from the Texture Tiles 4 Stamp Set.  Of Course eggs...even EGG-stra special ones need salt and pepper so the splatter from Texture Tiles 1 was used to sprinkle the card.  Glossy Accents was again used on the row of hearts.

See what I mean...how fun!

Here are the stamp sets used to create all the cards above:

Be sure to check out the whole new release over at the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Store!

Thanks so much for stopping by...Happy stamping in the new year!

Hugs,

Cathy
