A Fiery Happy Birthday with LT

Hello everyone, Leah here with a fiery Happy Birthday card for you ;)  I created this card using some fun Sweet Stamps products and a cool technique which you can read about on my blog here.

To create this card I used the following Sweet Stamps products:

Framed Handwritten Words Stamp set SS406
Abstract 6x6 Stencil AS 66-011
Shades Ink Spots in Dandelion, Rustic and Valentine

And some Memento Tuxedo Black Ink which you can find on the I Heart Paper Art website :)

You will tons of fun stuff to create with on the Sweet Stamps website!  You should definitely go and check that out!

Wishing Fairy with Leah Tees

This is the third fairy in this sweet collection from Sweet Stamps, here is Wishing Fairy (and my favorite ;)

OK, yes...lol...she is my favorite of all four of these fairies, just look at her face!  I completed this card using the Wishing Fairy clear stamp, the Framed Handwritten Words clear stamp set, the Sweet Cuts Fancy leaf die, and Montego Bay Shades Dye Ink Spots.  You can see more about this project on my blog here.

You can find all of these products in the Sweet Stamps online store.  And don;t forget to come and join us for the two monthly challenges over on the Sweet Stamps challenge blog!

Sweet Summer Blooms with Leah Tees

Hello everyone!  Winter is unfortunately getting very close up here in the north, and I am clinging to all things summer for as long as I possible can!

And with that, I have created a card using the Summer Blooms rubber stamp.  I have heat embossed with Detail White embossing powder and water-colored this image using the Shades Ink Cube dye ink in Valentine, Royal, and Envy, and included die cuts using the Fancy Leaf die.

I love to create with this medium as the results are so organic and sometimes create a very realistic looking finished product :)

If you would like more information about how I created this card, please visit my blog at Ode to Paper :)

You can find all of these products available in the online shop at Sweet Stamps :)

Faux Letterpress with Dies!

Hello and Happy Friday!!!  It's Lisa and I'm so happy to be here with you today!  I am sharing a card that was very much inspired by the amazing Jennifer McGuire... you can visit her blog to read and watch more on how the technique I use works.  After watching her video I immediately thought of the Daisy Center Medallion Die from SweetStamps.com, and knew it would be perfect for this technique...

So simple and yet so elegant!  The basics for this technique includes inking up an intricate die, running it through your maching with an embossing mat, and using watercolored paper. Viola!  I then stamped my sentiment, and raised my panel up but chose to stick with all white as I didn't want to distract from the Medallion die image.

Supplies Used:

Daisy Center Medallion SweetCuts Die

Framed Handwritten Words Clear Stamp Set

Raspberry Ink Spot

Leaves

Hi Roxie here to show you a couple simple ideas for Thanksgiving.  
Both cards in this post were done using the masking tape technique where you ink up the tape, place it on the glossy cardstock, very lightly rub then remove the tape.  This first card was actually the second panel created and the tape technique was applied only once.  

Images: SweetStamps - Leaves
Paper, for the first card: Pantone glossy, Basic Grey designer orange, Die Cuts with a View green
Ink: Shades - Butterscotch, Papaya, Palm Grove, Memento - Tuxedo Black
Tools: Scor-Pal for line embossing on each side of the inked strip, Perfect Layers Mini from Perfect Paper Crafting to cut the borders,  EK Success corner rounder
Enamel Dots: Eyelets Outlets and Brads

 

I started this card first and the masking tape I used was flawed leaving an open space in the application so I set it aside and made the first card in this post but I can never throw anything out without an attempt to save it.  So I traded rolls of masking tape with my husband and inked up a second time which made the color much brighter but I lost all the texture so I took one of the new ATC Mini Art Stencils from SweetStamps and sponged on grey ink and was happy with the results.  

This card also uses the same Leaves set but different images, I like this set because it offers both realistic and whimsical images. 

Different Supplies from the first card:
Ink: Shades - Stormy Gray
Tools: We R Memory Keepers corner punch
Paper: same glossy, The Paper Company orange, Remember When black textured
