Christmas in July

 Happy Saturday Stampers! This is Michelle from East Bay Stamp Chick. I don't know about you, but I love to make Christmas cards and it's never too early to start. How about you? Are you ready to start your Christmas cards? Sweet n Sassy Stamps is having a Christmas in July Sale.

To celebrate the sale I made this card using the Christmas Pine stamp set, Christmas Word Art set and the Grunge Stripe Background stamp set .

To make this card I cut a piece of red cardstock to 4x5.25. I heat embossed the sentiment with gold embossing powder. I then cut a piece of kraft cardstock to 3.75x5 inches. I die cut an oval out of the center and then heat embossed the Grunge Stripe Background stamp with gold embossing powder. I used foam to tape to pop up the panel and adhere to the red cardstock. I stamped a few branches and pine codes on kraft cardstock and fussy cut them out. I layered them on the side of the oval and added a plaid bow. I added a little bling with some red gems on the top left.  

I'm so excited to make more Christmas cards and I hope you are too! Thank you for visiting with me today and I hope you spend some time crafting this weekend!

Floral Fun

 Happy Saturday Stampers!

This is Michelle here from East Bay Stamp Chick with another card share. The February release has been packed full of great stamp sets! Today I am featuring one of the smaller sets from the release, The Floral Background.

The Floral Background is the stamp of the month for February. It's free when you spend $60 or you can purchase it for $11.95.

To make my card, all you need to do is apply different colors of ink to a white card panel. You don't have to blend the colors just get the ink on the paper. Then I stamped on the card panel with an embossing ink. I used gold embossing powder and heat set it. To make the background around the flowers black, I colored it in with a black alcohol ink marker. I die cut a heart from vellum and embossed the sentiment, hello, from the True Beauty stamp set. I added a few sequins to finish the card.

I hope you have some time this weekend to get crafty! Don't forget to share with us what you make!

Quick and Easy Christmas Card

 Hi Stampers!

Happy Saturday! This is Michelle from East Bay Stamp Chick.

Do you still need a few Christmas cards like me or are you all done?

Today I have for you a quick and easy card. You can make this card in 10 minutes or less!

For this card I cut a white panel of cardstock that is 3.75x5 inches and the red panel is 4x5.25 inches. I mounted them on a A2 card base. I first stamped the white panel with the musical notes stamp from the new Texture Tiles 7 stamp set. Then I stamped on a separate piece of white cardstock the sentiment from the Deck the Halls Stamp set. I also stamped a holy spray from the Christmas Silhouettes Stamp set. I fussy cut both images. But there are dies coming very soon for the Christmas Silhouettes Stamp set, stay tuned, you can pre-order them now! I popped the sentiment and the holly spray up on foam squares. I added ribbon from stash and its done! So quick and easy!

Here are the sets I used.

I hope you make so9me time for some crafting this weekend! If you do please show us what you make!
