Sweet Stamping Treats: all about baby week

This week at Sweet Stamping Treats the design team was asked to make a card about a baby. I chose to use an unconventional image for a baby card, but turn it into something that would work. I love how it looks as if the birds were getting ready to expand their nest for the new arrival. I die cut this super cute card base on my Silhouette and lined the inside with some Doodlebug swimming pool tiny dots cardstock. This way the cute polka dots peeked through the heart and also provided a cute space to write on inside. I Copic colored the image and made the branches a tad thicker by running different brown colors over them to make fussy cutting easier. The finishing touch was a Lawn Fawn sentiment on a flag underneath the birdies.

Sweet Stamping Treats, Spotlight on Me!

Well, to be fair they are going to spotlight all the design team members, but today is all about me! lol I used Sweet Stamping Treat's Roo stamp, isn't he cute? I just had to make a cliche sentiment to go with him, because obviously all Kangaroos say g'day mate! :) I cut a shape card on my Silhouette in Kraft and then cut a smaller size of the same shape in white. I printed the SST digi and Copic colored him in and paper pieced him to the card that I had drawn grass on. Then I cut a bunch of different strips of paper and went to town drawing lines and then cutting the edges haphazardly to resemble grass. Layered those strips of grass just under the Roo's feet. Then I distressed around the Roo with Tumbled Glass Distress ink. Finished it off with the sentiment on some Lawn Fawn Bright Side paper and added two tiny green gems. Hope you like it and thanks so much for stopping by today!!

Copics:
Roo: E11, E30, E33, E34, Nose: C7 Ears: RV52 V000
Grass: G000, G14, G29, G17, YG06
Bow: BG000, B00

Sweet Stamping Treats, Easter.

This week at Sweet Stamping Treats the design team made Easter cards. I used the Easter Wishes digi stamp. I die cut two large scalloped edged circles on my Silhouette in Kraft cardstock and glued them together at the top. Then I die cut a smaller doily also from the Silhouette store with patterned paper and adhered it to the card base. Once in place I poked holes in the same area that I glued the base together and tied hemp through the card. This was cute and also added a little more structure to keep the card together. I printed the digi twice and Copic colored the eggs and the flowers and cut them out. Then I Copic colored the background on the second printed digi and glued the eggs and flowers that I cut out on top the ones on the second digi. This makes them pop just a little bit more. Lastly I added some bling to the centers of the flowers. I'm having fun experimenting with shape cards lately! :)

Also Sweet Stamping Treats has a new Facebook page and they're having a contest to celebrate it. Be sure to check out their Blog for the details of their giveaway!

Sweet Stamping Treats, anything but a card

This week the Sweet Stamping Treats design team was asked to make anything other than a card. So being fresh off of the Cameo blog hop ...I decided to die cut a heart shaped basket and fill it with tea! I decided to use the SST Mother's Day Tea Pot and a doily for the front decor of the tea basket. I attached a hand cut flag, tied a bow around the tea pot handle, stamped a tea bag, and stuck down three rhinestones for some extra embellishment.

Sweet Stamping Treats

For this week's card for the design team I chose to use the Ladybug with Flower's digi. I used the print and cut feature on my Silhouette to put the digi in the die cut. I Copic colored the digi and distress stained the background with a paint brush. Once it dried I adhered it to Lawn Fawn Bright Side paper and tied Divine Twine into a bow at the bottom and adhered it to a Kraft card base. I thought it needed an extra zhush, so I added some Doodlebug gems to the centers of the flowers. :)

Thanks so much for stopping by and hello to the new followers! I appreciate you all so much! Once I hit 100 followers I'll host another blog candy giveaway!!

For my card this week I used the Spring Bunny digi for my image from SST's newest release. I colored the image in with Copics and the bunny's tail with a lil white snow making pen to give it a lil fluff! Such a great image that is totally customizable for Easter, Spring, or any kind of card really. Had a lot of fun with this sketch and the digi!

Thank you so much for stopping by!

This week's card features SST's Mouse Treat digi stamp. I Copic colored the mouse and paper pieced him to a die cut tag I splattered with mists and covered the edges with Tim Holtz Tissue Tape. I cut out the lollipop separately and coated blue baker's twine with Glossy Accents and coiled it around the lollipop. I liked that when it dried it looked glossy like a giant hard candy lollipop would look. Then I took two different colors of scrap chevron patterned paper and cut strips and adhered them down. Tied a bow at the top with linen thread and added a tiny flag with a sentiment stamped on it. I stamped "Happy Birthday" inside, I think it would be a cute card for a little boy's birthday.

Thanks so much for dropping by my blog today! I really appreciate it!

Sweet Stamping Treats $1 Digi Sale!

Pin It
Hello blog friends! This week I made a card with two of the images from Sweet Stamping Treat's $1 Digi sale. Be sure to head over to their blog and check it out, you won't be disappointed! Just click the image below and it will take you directly there! :)



This card features the lamb and the row of tulips from the $1 digi. I made a tent card with a scalloped edge flap. By taking two squares in the Silhouette software I made my own Polaroid die cut and cut it out in Kraft. I also used my Silhouette to cut out the two die cuts for the sentiment. For the lamb I used a Copic marker and my ever trusty snow making pen for his fur. I sewed on three buttons with linen thread and tied a bow for the largest one.

I hope this gave you a little inspiration for the Sweet Stamping Shop's $1 digi. Have fun with it and be sure to show me what you make!

Sweet Stamping Treats: Blue and Yellow Challenge

Pin It
Hello, blog friends! This week the Sweet Stamping Treats design team was challenged to make projects with the colors blue and yellow. I chose to use their Baby Raccoon stamp from their February new releases. I cut a bunch of shapes with my trimmer and used my Elegant Edges Cricut cartridge to cut the scalloped die cut. Copic colored the cutie raccoons and added googly eyes to them. For the raccoon in the party hat (I'll just call him the birthday boy) I made a teeny tiny poof ball out of blue and yellow twine and adhered it with glossy accents. Affixed some self sticky pearls and stamped the sentiment with Colorbox chalk ink on a hand cut flag. Hope you like it!

Sweet Stamping Treats Design Team!!

Well I've been pretty inactive on my blog lately, though not at all inactive at my craft nook! Reason being is that I was lucky enough to get picked up on a couple design teams! Seeing as everything has to be hush-hush till the official announcements, I couldn't post anything I was working on. However, today I get to officially announce and post my very first project from the Sweet Stamping Treats digi stamp company!! You can find their store and blog by clicking here!

This week we were challenged to use their sweet stamps to make a Valentine card. I chose their super cute Tweet Hearts Roses digi. I cut two sets of two different sizes of smaller hearts on my cricut with different patterned paper. Then I layered them down and adhered them with tape runner glue. I wanted the Tweet Hearts Roses digi stamp to really stand out, so of course it went in the middle. I also punched a small heart in the bottom right and tied a piece of light pink twine through it. To balance the twine and heart out, I placed some mini red bling in the upper left part of the heart. Then I just adhered it to the other hearts with foam adhesives. Lastly I stamped a sentiment in memento black ink. Easy peasy and super sweet, err tweet! :)
