Hey everyone, hope you all had a wonderful Labor Day weekend. I spent my Labor Day in a pool :) It was pretty much awesome!!!

Exciting News...The brand new Fall Design Team is being announced on the Sweet Stamp Shop blog today!!!! I am also going to be the Design Team Coordinator!!!! YAY. 

Come and meet everyone on the team and say HI!!! You can find it all HERE :)


Well it's all about the school season and if you have children, you probably had to go buy a TON of back to school school supplies, like pencils, markers, crayons, ruler, paper, notebooks, etc. AND like always we buy more than enough pencils lol, would hate to not be able to find a pencil right in the midst of trying to do homework, right???  So keeping that in mind,  the other night we went to Barnes and Noble to cool off from this crazy hot weather we have been having here in SoCal and I decided prime oportunity to look through some magazines and get some inspiration. While flipping through the pages (and I am sorry I do not remember which one it was I had about 6 or so of them lol) I saw some "look what you can do with washi" ideas, one of them was covering your PENCILS!!!! (BUT, of course one of my first thoughts was "um why didn't I think of that" lol.) I LOVED it, such a quick and easy thing to do but so much fun at the same time. They would even make great teacher gifts as well.

So I ran with the idea of washi covered pencils and decided to play around and have fun creating my own version and this is what I came up with...

I did three different themes, Back To School (of course), Everyday Fun, and Christmas.

For the Back To School I used the stack of books on the Geek Chic set from Sweet Stamp Shop.

I started at the bottom of my tag and kept layering the books til I got to the top. Then using my watercolor pencils I colored all the books in. I just love how all the colors really just gave it an extra little pop! I finished off with a SRM sticker sentiment from "Life Is Good".

On the Everyday Fun and Christmas one I went a little more simpler. I of course used more SRM stickers and then just tied them off with some fun little ribbons.

Here are the SRM stickers I used
Sticker Sentiment "Happy Holidays" (Dear Santa)
Sticker Sentiment "Life Is Good" (Lovin Life and Seize The Day)

Washi Tape:

MT Kamoi
Michael's Brand

Ribbons:
May Arts
SRM (Twinery Twine)
Other Findings

Thanks so much for stopping by, now go get your craft on!!

Throw back Thursday with Sweet Stamp Shop- Jars of Sweets

Hey everyone I am here designing with Sweet Stamp Shop and it's Happy Throw Back Thursdays!! So, you are probably wondering what that means, right? I will be showcasing a "Throwback" stamp set. This week I am featuring the ever so CUTE

 Jars Of Sweets

3. Then come say HI to us on our facebook page HERE

You will have til midnight and DON'T forget to leave your email address so we can send you your coupon. 

Ok... so now that we have Throw Back Thursdays mapped out check out my masking project I designed for you...

Have you ever wondered how to get that look, where it seems like the stamps are stamped on top of each other but don't touch? Maybe like a dimensional look? Or something is inside of something?

Like this card for example using Jars of Sweet set and Kiss Me (for the "Sweet" sentiment)

 You see how it looks like the blue jar is in FRONT of the pink jars?

 Well I am going to teach you in three EASY steps how to get that look. Check it out my friends

Here's how:

 Stamp your image on the card and then stamp it again on a scratch piece of paper. Carefully trim around the second image. HINT: Make sure to get right on the outer part of the stamped line.

 Using removable adhesive, stick down your image you just trimmed out and place over the exact image on your card. You can now stamp your next images right on top. HINT: If you do not have removable adhesive, sticky notes work really well for this or you can stick permanent adhesive to your clothing to take away some of the tackiness.

Remove your mask AND Viola! The image you first stamped is now sitting in front of the second image stamped. So what do you think??? Easy huh??? HINT: Don't throw away the mask you just made! You may need it for the future, simply stick to the outside of the acetate of your stamp set.

Just add embellishments and a sentiment and you have a beautifully masked card.

Jars of Sweets is so versatile and so much fun to play with. I even made a Cotton Candy inspired card. Summer colors are so much fun to play with, bright, cheerful and oh so happy!

Or how about woodgrain with acetate over lay?

 Did you see my Jars of Sweets from Tuesday's blog post! It has more of that elegance factor! Check it out HERE!

Sweet Stamp Shop Release Day

Hi everyone,

It is release day over at Sweet Stamp Shop. I am so thrilled to be part of such an amazing design team.
There are three new sets being released today and I will be showcasing two of them
'Wheely Like You' and 'Admit One'. These sets are too die for!!!! And as you will see I went crazy making cards with them!

>>>>So, as a BONUS-Today and Tomorrow only you will get 20% off the new releases just use coupon code NR20. Trust me it will be so hard to pass them up and worth every penny!<<<<

 Featured Cards
First up is my BRIGHT  and Colorful "Amazing You" From the 'Admit One' set. I used my watercolor pencils and created a rainbow across my card, then gave it a light mist to "activate" the blending and smoothing of the colors.

I love to add dimension and texture to my cards and projects and this one was no exception. I stamped and trimmed out the "admit one" ticket and the" amazing" sentiment, they fit so perfectly, don't you think?

Next up is "Proud Of You" which proudly showcases the big pinwheels from 'Wheely Like You'

Those pinwheels are irresistible and so much fun to use.

Here are some more card from both of the sets:
 
I love small cards, something about them is just so cute, and what a great way to use one of the smaller stamps in a stamp set and make it into a background.

Are you not loving the stamps so far....?!?!??!

How about that one dimension (or almost lol)??? I am so in love with the arrows, not only are they hot and ubber popular but they can be used in so many different ways and for so many different things. I definitely think we are right on target.

What's your take on long cards???? I love it! Plus, mixing up shapes can take you from same ol same ol to WOW!!! It's unexpected and makes for a fun and unique card. Try it sometime, there are so many ways to change up the shape. On the next one I went with extra long and skinny. I wanted the wow to really stand out because life really is WOW, so I embossed with multiple colors and pop dotted it to really make it a focal.

I just loved the stamps so much I had to keep making more...the arrows were just to cute to leave alone, I HAD to use them again. You know that feeling, right?!?!?!?

 

And...how about those pinwheels? To cute to pass up, I think so. To keep with the theme I decided to make my own pinwheel, it made for the perfect amount of dimension.

 I really think that this stamp set came at the perfect time, being fair season and all, I really think that they will be so perfect for page layouts. Just wait til you see the whole set. I had to stop myself from making another 8 cards. I even had plans for a baby card. lol
