All Wrapped Up

Hello friends!  Today I'm playing along with several online challenges and since Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps is still celebrating its eleven year birthday, I reached for one of the newer stamp sets to create another Christmas card.

Creative Nugget:  The packages from the All Wrapped Up stamp set were all stamped on watercolor paper, colored with Zig Clean Color Brush Markers, fussy cut and stacked onto the embossed vertical panel.  One of the plaids from the Texture Tiles 4 set was stamped on yellow card stock with a matching ink to create the tone-on-tone strip down the right side.  The design is from Freshly Made Sketches and the colors were inspired by the Just Us Girls Challenge.  The sentiment was stamped on the lower corner and sequins were added to finish the card.

Everyone is welcome to enjoy a sweet discount over at the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Store this week!

This card will be submitted for the following challenges:

Freshly Made Sketches 363

Just Us Girls Color Week #467

Pammie's Inky Pinkies 1846 - Anything Goes

Addicted to CAS Challenge #149 - Presents

Addicted to Stamps and More Challenge #318 - Holiday

I haven't really begun to wrap Christmas presets yet, so this is a reminder to get started...but I think I'll wait until after Thanksgiving!

Thanks so much for stopping by...have a wonderful day!

Hugs,

Pretty Plaids

Hello friends!  Today I am sharing some cards over on the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Blog using some of the new products released this month.  I'm loving the plaid textures in the Texture Tiles 4 stamp set for creating backgrounds.

Since we are nearing the end of October, Breast Cancer Awareness month, my first card features pink get well wishes.

Creative Nugget:  The background was created with Oxide Inks and one of the plaids from the Texture Tiles 4 stamp set.  Some Texture Paste was added through a striped stencil for added texture.  The coffee cups are from the Jesus & Coffee stamp set and were colored with Copic Markers.  The sentiment is a mixture of words from the Jesus & Coffee and Scripty Thoughts sets.  A bow and sequins finish the card.

Creative Nugget:  How about these non-traditional Christmas colors?  Another Oxide Ink background stamped with a plaid from the Texture Tiles 4 stamp set was used for the base of this card.  (***Who needs patterned paper when you have Oxides and Texture stamps?)  The sentiment is from the Christmas Word Art stamp set.  The diagonal panels were also made with Oxide Inks and textures from the Texture Tiles 1 stamp set.  The package from the All Wrapped Up stamp set was colored with Copic Markers.  Add a little bit of colored twine and Bitty Sparkles to finish the card!
