Happy Birthday Princess!

Today I have a very quick and sweet birthday card for a sweet little princess using Child of the King and Stand Tall Stamp Sets.
I used Canson watercolor paper for the base and did some ink smooshing with Distress Inks (Victoria Velvet and Seedless Preserves.) I inked the image and sentiment in Versa Fine Onyx Black and WOW clear embossing powder then colored the image with Zig Clean Color Brush Markers. Wink of Stella, Glossy Accents, and rounded corners finished my card off.

It makes me smile!!

SNSS – Inktense

Today I got out my Inktense pencils and my SSS Grid stencil and created a background for a bigger sentiment. I used a sentiment from the new Sweet N Sassy Stamps – Kindness Matters set.

The background was a little bight so I went over it with Antique Linen Distress Ink.

Another thank you card for my stash – Awesome!

Have a great weekend!! Thanks for stopping by!

SNSS – Simple Thank You!

I am still playing around with the new Sweet N Sassy Stamps – Kindness Matters and Fantastic Flowers sets. I went pretty simple using the twig of leaves and water color (with Distress Inks). I colored it up twice, then created a 3D effect then added the “Thank you!” from the sentiment set and that is all there is to this one. It really makes me happy.

Now I have a thank you card for my stash which is something I don’t really think about too often so yay!!

I hope you had a great weekend!! Thanks for stopping by!

SNSS Kindness Matters!

Sweet N Sassy Stamps has some great new stamps sets this month and today’s card uses a couple of them – Kindness Matters and  Fantastic Flowers. The sentiments in the Kindness Matters set are fantastic! They can be used on a variety of cards and the Flowers really are Fantastic – they are pretty big, but they are great and there are several to choose from including leaves

I played around with emboss resist and some new Simon Says Stamps Ink. They are pretty fun to work with. They blend well and the colors are beautiful. (Colors – Hollyhocks, Teeny Bikini, Sunkist, Melon)

I hope you had a great weekend!! Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!

SNSS – Corner Bookmark

Today I played with the Sweet N Sassy Creative Worship: Exclamations Clear Stamp Set some more and though I didn’t create a Bible Journal page today, I did play in my Bible… I thought it would be fun to use the arrow image to create a corner bookmark. I wanted to be able to mark a potential journal page. It points right at what I want…I really like it and it was really simple!

Here is a close up:

I used Strathmore Bristol Paper and Polychromos colored pencils. I used the MFT Inside Out Stitched Round Rectangle Die (I ran it through twice and then ran each piece through again to make it a bit shorter than it actually is.) A 1/8th strip of scor tape on two sides and that is all there is to it.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you are inspired!

Have a great day!

FTHS May Blog Hop – Case It!

Welcome to From the Heart Stamps April blog hop! If you have arrived from KELLY’S BLOG, you are in the right place, if not why don’t you start on the From the Heart Stamps Blog, so you don’t miss anything.

We had so much fun last time we did a CASE it challenge, we decided to do it again…we have been challenged to CASE (copy and share everything) each other!! I have been tasked to CASE a card from my oh so talented teammate – Michelle. I chose to CASE THIS card.

I love the CAS take on this card. I love white space but am so bad with doing it so I decided to go for it and follow Michelle’s card closely.

I hope you like today’s card using Aloha Girl (Faithful Friends)

I used some Washi tape for the stripes (Score one for me – I used some stash!) then I went through my pre-printed images and found this sweet heart really needing to be colored (score two!) THEN I remembered a stamp set with layered shells that I “had to have” but have never used. I though that a shell where Michelle had a heart would be cute, I created the shell and fussy cut it out and popped it up with foam felt (score three – I feel like I won on this one!) I hope you like it!

As you hop along, leave a comment on each blog. One random commenter will be picked from each blog and on the FTHS blog to win an image of their choice from the FTHS store.

We are also having a link up contest with this hop. We invite you to pick one of the FTHS DT members and “CASE” one of their cards and add it to linky collection, by Sunday May 7th.

SNSS Mason Jar Bouquet Water Color

For today’s card, I went simple and let the image speak for itself and did a little watercolor with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens. The new Mason Jar Bouquet set from Sweet N Sassy Stamps is so beautiful! Don’t you agree?

After I colored my image with the watercolors, I went back and shaded some of the details with my Polychromos Color Pencils. This gives me the opportunity to worry a little less about the shading in the water coloring – and just have fun with it. AND it is fun! I hope you are inspired to try it!

I love it! This image just makes me happy!
