Sketched Floral Borders with Sweet Stamps

Hello everyone, now that Christmas has ended and New Year's is upon us, I have a fun Birthday Card to show you for Sweet Stamps LLC.

To complete this project I used the Sketched Floral Borders Stamps set and the Framed Handwritten Words Stamp Set.

I stamped the images with Versamark ink and then heat embossed them with clear embossing powder to create the tone-on-tone effect.  The sentiment is stamped with Versafine Vintage Sepia and then embossed with clear embossing powder as well.  I love doing tone-on-tone cards, it really shows off some fun techniques!

You can find the highlighted products in the Sweet Stamps online store.  Don't forget to come and join in with us for the two monthly challenges!

Autumn Bloom Note Cards with Sweet Stamps

I know everyone is busy having Christmas Eve, but there may be a few who have some time, or are taking time for themselves.  So I have created four mini note cards using the Autumn Blooms rubber stamp from Sweet Stamps LLC.

This image was so sweet I just had to stamp it again, and again, and again hahahahaha. I created these mini notecards with some scrap card stock, what a great way to use up those scraps!

You can find this rubber stamp at the Sweet Stamps online store.  They have a bunch of floral stamps, that I just cant help but love to play with :)

Ukulele Avery with the Paper Nest Dolls!

Yes, I know, it's December, and yes, I took a break from Holiday cards lol.  But I think you'll approve when you see this awesome image!

This is Ukulele Avery from the Paper Nest Dolls, and I just fell in love with her!  She reminds me of my oldest daughter Haley who plays guitar and piano and sings :)  I just love to listen to her.

I have colored her with my Copics and Prismacolor Premiere Pencils in the following colors:

Hair:  E23
PC947, 935, 997
Skin:  E000
PC927, 939, 1029
Dress:  YR000, R22, YR21
PC941, 947, 997, 943, 1034, 924, 937
Ukulele:  E13
PC947, 997

I finished this card using some paper flowers from Santoro/Trimcraft, and paper from the Studio Calico South of Market collection.

You can find this and many more sweet Paper Nest Doll images (including Christmas ones lol) in the online shop at Paper Nest Dolls.  And come and join our monthly Anything Goes challenge, where you can maybe win a prize!  We have changed the way we award our winners starting this month, so make sure you read the whole post :)

Sweet Poinsettia Tags with Sweet Stamps!

I have some sweet poinsettias for you today, which I have used to make Christmas tags for Sweet Stamps LLC.

I have the following stamps from Sweet Stamps LLC:

Antique Leaf Scroll Border H5003
Poinsettia and Holly Leaf 7053
Poinsettia Garland 7071
Simple Poinsettia 7068

These were so much fun to color with my Copics, and because I'm such a beginner it was easier to do with the smaller images, and they turned out so pretty I just had to make some tags with them.

You can find these rubber stamps, and many more over at the Sweet Stamps website!  And don't forget about our two monthly challenges over on the challenge blog!

Hello There Marci with Lala Land Crafts!

I finally signed up for the Lala Land Crafts stamp subscription a couple months ago, and I FINALLY got my first one colored up lol!

This is Hello Marci and she was fun to color.  I am sad to say this was the very first Lala Land stamp I have ever colored!  I have since received another package and I am ashamed to say I haven't even stamped it out yet lol.  Inuit Marci is on my list!

You won't be able to purchase this stamp until next September!  So keep your eyes open for it :)  BUT you can find plenty others at the Lala Land Shop :)

See you soon with some more crafty fun!
