Throwback Thursday's Weird Love

Welcome back friends, I hope you checked out the new Sweet Stamp Shop release yesterday. It was pretty amazing :) Lots and lots of inspiration.

But, in case you missed it you can check out the Sweet Stamp Shops release day HERE my blog post HERE.

Well it's Throwback Thursday and I am showcasing Weird Love. It may be a small set but it packs a mighty punch.

Check out the fun cards I did with some fun little techniques to try out on your next cards

 

 I am not sure about you but I have a plethora of adhesive in my stash and one of my go too is scor-tape. It has such versatility, you don't have to cut it and it is so strong! But you can also emboss on it, yep that's right! It is a paper based adhesive so it won't melt when you heat it up like the red line tapes. Cool huh?

 Here is what I used.

1/8 in scor-tape

1/4 in scor-tape

Embossing powder

  

Then I just finished off with the super cute mustache, a sentiment and a couple enamel dots! 

 Check out the bonus card I made! This stamp quote is so my husband and I and nails us to a "T" lol!

Well make sure to  head on over to the Sweet Stamp Shop and snag your Weird Love Set!


Happy Crafting

Throwback Thursday's Haunted House

Hey everyone, hope you are doing great this Throwback Thursday I have been channeling my inner "spooky side" this week and am featuring Haunted House. 

 AND...of course...it wouldn't be a Throwback Thursday if we didn't offer you an amazing deal right?? So for today only Haunted House will only be $8!!!! You will have until midnight tonight to get the deal so don't wait!!! Head on over to the shop HERE.

Haunted House

This set is just so fun and playful, doncha think???


Well I love to work in layers. I like texture and dimension and it is so easy to achieve with just a few steps.
On this card I started to add my layers with paper adding a few different patterns that were of similar styles and offsetting them as I layered them on top of each other. Next I took a frame I glittered in black to match the theme of my card. Then just a little bow and a sentiment to finish it off. And just to help bring a little bit more character to the card I added the arrows to bring the focus to the center.

 

Easy huh?

Here is another example of layering. This one I added paint splotches to create texture on my card without adding dimension. Or, as you can see,  even adding a pop of color to a stamped image will give an illusion of more texture and even dimension. Do you have old acrylic paints just laying around??? Try breaking them out and adding a bit of water to the paint and splattering it on your card. I think you will really love the effect it adds to your card. It's a great way to make custom back ground paper and then add all your layers on top of it.

 

Do you have a favorite go to to add that extra little something to your card?? I would love to here about it.

Also don't forget to head on over to the Sweet Stamp Shop(HERE) before midnight to get Haunted House for only $8  :)

Have a wonderful day and happy crafting
