Good morning! It’s the beginning of the month, which means there’s a great new release at SNSS! Today I am sharing two cards using the new Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps sets called Gnome-one Like You and Texture Tiles 11. For my first card, I used the gnome watering a flower. How cute are those Crocs? I figured he needed equally cute socks to go with them. I blended some inks around the edges of the card and then stamped some flowers over top.

For my second card, I die cut a partial circle from some cute paper to accent the sitting gnome and pulled from the colors to color the image. I also stamped the sentiment in a matching color instead of my usual black. lol.

Have a great day!

Recently a local couple celebrated their 50th anniversary…what an accomplishment! With the pandemic, they weren’t able to celebrate with friends so a surprise card shower was organized for them. Here’s the card I sent. I used the Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps Rose Banner set and the awesome Number Dies which were recently brought out of retirement! I love those dies and isn’t this stamp set a pretty one?

I kept the card monochromatic and embossed the image in gold, then die cut accessories in gold and white. It’s difficult to see the white embossed background.

Have a great day!

Macaroon…Macaron. What’s the difference? Macaroons are made with coconut, while macarons are made with ground almond and have a cream filling.

So why is the package of raspberry macarons made in Italy spelled Macaroon? hmmm. I have no idea but they are delicious!

I used the Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps Vintage Romance stamp set to make the card. I also followed the layout from Crafty Al’s February Sheetload of Cards.

These delicious cookies come in different flavors and are fun to color as such!

Have a great week!

Good morning! It’s the beginning of the month, which means there’s a great new release at SNSS! Today I am sharing two projects using the new Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps set called Good Morning. On this first card, I also used Much Love, Vintage Love, and Lollipop Alpha. I stamped and colored the clock, cut it out and layered it onto a patterned paper background. The clock face was stamped again onto patterned paper and paper pieced. This would be good for Valentine’s Day or any other time that you want to show someone how you feel.

For my second card, I used the clock from Good Morning again. This time I also used the new Texture Tiles 10 plus Make A Wish and Birthday Wordfetti. Since the background was kept simpler, I paper pieced the balloons!

Have a great day!
