Hey there, friends! I am guest designing for Sweet Stamp Shop this month and Nicole Rixon has designed some really fun sets for her May release!

My first card uses the new set called Weird Love - LOVE this sentiment!!I stamped it onto a diecut rectangle and added layers of patterned paper and matching stickers from SEI:

And my second card features the new Eye Love stamp set:

This card was stamped and layered on plain cardstock, and I added the splatter along with a diecut heart covered in Crystal Effects:

Super fun! For more inspiration, head on over to the Sweet Stamp Shop blog!

Hugs,

It’s Day 2 of the May release from Neat and Tangled Stamps, and today we are featuring cards made with the new Sunburst stamp.

I heat embossed the sunburst with clear embossing powder over the heart patterned paper from SEI. Next, I inked up the image with a variety of yellow and orange Distress Inks a la the emboss-resist technique. The last step was to use my iron to remove the shine of the clear embossing.

I then trimmed the image and mounted it on the matching orange cardstock from A Muse Studio, later adding the coordinating sentiment sticker from SEI and some Basic Grey enamel dots. SO FUN!

To see more design team projects using the Sunburst stamp, head on over to the Neat and Tangled blog, where there’s also a chance to win a prize! All of the sets from this release will be available for purchase tomorrow, but we’re also super excited to announce that they can also be found at i {heart} papers, Simon Says Stamp, and Absolutely Everything!

Have a great day! Thank you so much for stopping by!

And another weekend comes to an end. I have no idea where the time went, but I was happy to sneak away to make this card for Dawn’s Monday Mood Board:

Hooray for my 400th post!

Tonight I made this card for Lucy’s Sketch Challenge and A Blog Name Hero’s Challenge, which was to create a card in the shabby-chic or vintage style.

I used Hero Arts‘ True Friendship and Tiny Ink Spots, which was inked up in grey and yellow on the background. I added lots of flowers and pearls, and stitched the bottom right corner to make this a little more shabby.

Thanks very much for stopping by!

I made a card real quick for this month’s Walzingmouse Blog Party. Our theme was a color challenge…head on over to the Waltzingmouse Blog to check it out!

Sorry if I seem rushed but this blog party ends today and I have to get ready for my card class with Shari Carroll at my local stamp shop!! I am so excited!

Have a fun day,

Today’s card is for this week’s CAS-ual Fridays Challenge, which is to make a card with things that you might find in the ocean. Our sponsor this week is Stop & Scrap, who has offered a $20 gift card to this week’s winner.

I automatically thought to use Fish More from WPlus9, which is my favorite set right now, and papers from Echo Park. I diecut the striped frame using my Sending You dies from PTI, but I made it longer by cutting a strip to layer under the banner, making it look like one piece. The letters were diecut using alphabet dies from Memory Box, and the button is from American Crafts.

A perfect card to welcome the weekend, since we’re about to head out camping. What are you up to this weekend? I hope you have fun!
