I have one more project this month using the Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps Bold Caps Alpha Dies. This time I wanted to make some monogram note cards. These are not often seen in paper crafting these days, but they are classic and fun! I would love to see them trending with a come-back.

I thought the bold alpha needed a bold pattern and colors. I also paired it with the Decorative Frames Dies and Scribble Flowers Bundle.

The paper has some pretty gold foiling…

Give some monograms a try! Have a great day!

Hello! I have a CAS, quick card to share today. I am really loving the new alpha die set from the Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps August release. So many possibilities! This card could be a valentine or used any other time of year to send some love and care.

My background is a piece of patterned paper, but you can easily stamp your own florals. The shiny gold paper was a piece that I saved from the lining of a fancy envelope. It was the perfect size strip for die cutting a few letters. I added a tiny sentiment from the Love Wordfetti set and a few rhinestone accents.

Have a great day!

Hello! Today I am sharing two cards with a fun technique, using some Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps. I tried the Split Sentiment Technique, where you ink through a reverse masked shape which also has a masked area for a sentiment.

Product links: Song Birds, Garden Whimsy, Script Sentiments, Mason Jar Bouquet.

The technique was done with an oval shape, but I thought it would be fun to try a heart with an old set of Spellbinders heart dies. First, I made some anniversary cards, and then some simple hellos. The colors of ink used are SU! Sweet Sugarplum, Pool Party, and Wisteria Wonder.

These are great CAS, no-layer cards. Try them! Have a great day!

Good morning! Today I am sharing some cards using a new stamp & die set from the Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps June release. Floral images are always a favorite of mine, so I was eager to use this new set. If you’re a coffee lover, you’ll be happy to see that one image has a mug as well!

I sort-of followed Julee’s sketch for my first card but I added the potted plant, so I shifted the layers a bit. Both of the flowers are popped with foam tape, and I went a bit old-school with some faux stitching (I miss that!).

I wanted my second card to be more CAS and I wanted to add some of the flowers in black & white. After getting my images on the card, I wasn’t quite sure where to put the sentiment, but I think it worked out. 🙂

Have a great day!

Good morning! Today I am sharing some cards using products from the Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps May release, along with some older favorites. I kept the backgrounds plain or light in color on the cards today so that the images and words would stand out.

Product links: Mixed Up Stencil, Faith Wordfetti, Too, Botanical Branches Bundle, Shiplap Background, To-Do List, Scribble Flowers Bundle (Bundles also sold separately).

For my first card, I lightly sponged a faint blue in the center. Part of the stencil was masked off and then sponged with blue and green inks. A small sentiment was added above in black. The branch was colored, die cut, and popped up with dimensionals.

I made a few of these cards and when I was done, I noticed a smudge of ink on the edge of one, so I die cut the card front and layered it onto a new base. Now I’m not sure which version I like better!

The Shiplap Background was stamped with a light gray ink on the second card. Then I added some words from the new To-Do List set and some favorite flowers (and that sweet bee!).

Have a great day!
