Color Me Sweet Card

Hey everyone I am back on the sweet stamp shop blog with a fun and new color challenge. I will be bringing a new color challenge to the table about every two weeks ish :) all you have to do is have fun making projects using the color challenge and then post to Sweet Stamp Shop's flickr! You can find all the details HERE.

This weeks color challenge Coral, Dark Blue, and Gold:

 

First I stamped and embossed with princess gold embossing powder "Be Bold Be Brave" using the Monogram Alpha. For the flower I used the flower from Elegant Flowers and stamped and embossed it and then used my color shines to watercolor it. I added some seam binding and rafia behind it and finished off with some enamel dots. When I took pictures of the card it felt unfinished still so I used my versamark pen to add the gold embossed border around it. Viola.

You can find both of these sets in the shop. 

Elegant Flowers

Monogram Alpha

Make sure to stop on over at the sweet blog to check out my Semi homemade project that coordinates with my card HERE plus all the details for the color challenge (prizes may just so happen to be involved ) :)

Using Stickers With Your Sweet Stamp Shop Stamps

Hey everyone,

 I am back on the blog with Sweet Stamp Shop to show you how easy it is to use your Sweet Stamp Shop stamps to accent your stickers, and if you are anything like me you probably have a TON of stickers just hanging out.  My favorite ones to use are the nice big bold ones, usually dimensional too, you know, the kind that really make a statement! They lend themselves more easily to stamps as well. You can really dress them up and turn maybe a somewhat boring sticker into a masterpiece with just a little stamping. I generally let the sticker inspire me and then find the stamp(s) I want to use to really enhance it. I love how with stamping you don't just have to stamp an image onto a card and call it done, you can stamp and color your images in, you can cut them out, there are just so many possibilities.

Well here is what I did and to see more inspiration head on over HERE to see my blog where I show some other possibilities you could do :)

I had found these FUN holographic stickers from Joann's awhile back and knew they would go perfectly with the Dia De Los Muertos set! And they sure did!

So, I first stamped a bunch of the roses on watercolor paper and colored them in with black and gray, and then fussy cut around all of them. (I wanted to go with a CAS approach to the card so the stamped images and sticker could really stand out.) Using a white background I adhered 2 roses down on either side using the sticker as a guide for the placement I wanted. Then once they were down I adhered the sticker onto the center of the card, then pop dotted two more roses in front of the bottom of the sticker.  Then finished off with Dia De Los Muertos sentiment. Easy huh?!?! AND... I loved how much it came out that I made the companion (the wife :)  ) You know behind every good man is his wife, (well) I think that is the saying lol. If not it should be.

 

 And here they are together. I am so happy with the way they turned out and love them sitting next too each other. Not to mention how fun are holograms anyways?!?!

Here are some fun bonus cards using the Dia De Los Muertos, the Triangle Style, and the Fall Gratitude...

As you can tell I am really getting into the festive spirit. This is always my favorite time of year. I just love all the holidays!!!

Here are the sets that were used on today"s cards:

So how are you loving the CAS? Do you find that you neglect your stickers? Leave me a comment below on how you like to accent your cards, do you find you have a go to...you know like enamel dots, sequins, paint splatters (p.s.-those are all my favorites lol)

Remember the Use What You Have Challenge is still up so if you would like to enter just go HERE!!!

And don't forget to keep adding your projects to our Flikr. We all LOVE to go see what everyone is doing with their Sweet Stamp Shop stamps. :)

Til next time friends,
