Happy Friday! I'm back to share another Sweet n Sassy Stamps card. 

This time I used this beautiful stamp set, Bee Sweet. There is a die set, including bundle deal. 

I love all things bees, so I really love this set. Here's my card:

I stamped the beehive and bees on mixed media paper, masked them off with masking paper, ink blended with oxide inks.  I removed the masks and colored in the images with colored pencils.

I lightly stenciled on the Chicken wire stencil, stamped the sentiment, spritzed with water. Then I decided it needed "something", so I inked splattered it with white acrylic paint. I matted it white and glued to black A2 card base. 

Have a BEEutiful day!

WBW!

It's Wood block Wednesday! 

What is WBW? Check it out HERE!

I've been looking forward to inking up this stamp I used for this WBW. It was one I chose from RubberMoon Stamps ; a sponsor of Wood Block Wednesday. I was a lucky winner a couple months back. 🎉😊❤️

It is called Shroom & board. I stamped it onto Strathmore mixed media paper and colored it with colored pencils and a little oxide inking for the ground and sky. My background paper I created using Lindy's Magicals, pretty powders with water. I can't remember which colors I used though. It made a nice earthy piece, perfect for this image. The sentiment stamp is Tsol.

Fishing you...

 Fishing you a finfilled birthday 🎂 🐟❤️😁

Hello!!

I have another card to share with with you using the fintastic stamp set from Sweet n Sassy Stamps called Fin-tastic friends.  There are coordinating dies. You can purchase separately or there's a bundle deal.

This card was an experiment. Luckily, I like how it turned out. It also ended up being quick and easy. These little sea creatures make me smile; they're so cute!

Have you used Ranger Ink Tim Holtz distress resist spray? I saw it at Michael's and was curious, so I bought a bottle. That is what I used on this card. It's pretty cool. It's a textured spray that dries clear and is water resistant. I sprayed some on a piece of mixed media paper I die cut for a card front; after dry, I ink blended with oxide inks. You can stamp on it! I stamped my sweet friends and colored them with colored pencils. I matted it to some silver cardstock and then to my A2 card base. 

Thanks for stopping by! 

Coffee?

Did someone say coffee? ☕️❤️😊

Today I'm sharing this coffee card with you all, using stamps from Sweet n Sassy Stamps called COFFEE TALK. This links you to the stamp and bundle set for savings 😁 They can also be purchased separately.... 

This is a quick and easy card. If you know me, I love all things coffee and love to make coffee cards.

I inksmooshed distressed oxide inks, vintage photo and ground espresso, onto watercolor paper. I stamped the coffee cup images onto mixed media paper and colored with prisma colored pencils. The heart and flower images are from the Tea for Two stamp set which is super adorable. I linked you to the stamp and die bundle, but they can be purchased separately. Sadly, I do not have dies, so I fussy cut the little flower..... the cups are die cut out, and I cut strips of paper and colored them in same shades as the cups. I stamped the sentiment, and then assembled card front as shown: matted to a card base.

Joy

Hello! You bring great joy to my life! Thanks for stopping by! Today I have this card to share with you using products from Sweet n Sassy Stamps .

I did a light inksmoosh bkg for just a splash of blue with tumbled glass distressed oxide ink onto mixed media paper. Once dry, I stamped the Flowers in Bloom stamp set (this set does have a coordinating die, imcluding a bundle deal). I also stamped the Henry Van Dyke sentiment, colored in the flower image with colored pencils, the. Stenciled over all of it with the Chicken Wire Stencil with Lost Shadow distressedoxideink. On a piece of vellum, I stamped the joy sentiment with lawn fawn black ink and let dry before attaching to my card front. I glued it to a black A2 card base.

Bee..

Hello! I'm here to share another Sweet n Sassy Stamps card as a guest designer.  I used the BEE SWEET stamp set. NOTE: I stamped directly and/or fussy cut an image, but there is a coordinating die set, including a bundle deal which is also currently marked down. 😊

I did a split panel card front. I die cut two card fronts, and inked smooshed them with oxide inks, and the top one, I also flicked watercolor onto it with a Karin marker. 

The bottom panel, I stamped the honeycomb image several times and colored it. Set aside. The top layer, I diagonal cut out a section. Stamped my bees and sentiment. On a separate piece of cardstock, I stamped, colored and cut out the honey jar and honey dipper. 

I then matched up top and bottom pieces. Although not necessary, I added a piece of acetate to the back securing it with tape. Then using foam dots, I put the two layers together, then glued to my A2 card base. Glued on the honey jar and dipper....

I love all things bee, and this set is BEE-UTIFUL. 🐝😊
