Last post as Guest Designer at Sweet Stamps

Hello friends.  I am so glad you stopped in today.  I wanted to share with y'all the last post of my Guest Designer Spot with Sweet Stamps.  I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with them.  I was able to pick out some great products to work with. 

This week's challenge is Christmas Tags.  I don't make too many tags, but I enjoyed making these.  I wanted to them look a bit country so I decided to paper piece them and add some faux stitching.

The stamp set I used is called Mr. and Mrs. Snow Duo.  I used Gina K's Heavy Base Weight Ivory for the base of the snowpeople and MME DP for the elements. I didn't want to add too many embellishments because I wanted to let the snow people shine.  I did add some black faux stitching around the snow people.  To finish off the tags, I added the Merry Christmas sentiment and some Red Jute Twine.

Thanks for stopping in today.  I hope y'all enjoy your Thursday.  God bless.

Snow Challenge with Guest Designer, Emily Thubbron from www.emsmanythoughts.blogspot.com

Hi, its Emily from Pennsylvania bringing you snow  from Sweet Stamps.   I am using Mr. and Mrs. Snow DUO to  create this card.

It was a tough choice because Sweet Stamps has so many wonderful snow images to select from.

I used the paper piecing technique for this card.  I stamped the image on Neenah White card stock first, then onto four different patterned papers 

from MME.  I cut out each part of the snow people's clothes and adhered them with a ZIG two way glue pen.

I used a masking technique to add the snow to the bottom of the card.  I outlined both snowmen with a very light grey Spectrum Noir Marker.  The image was then cut with Spellbinders Classic Squares and embossed.  I cut a mat for it using the Classic Scalloped Squares from Spellbinders.  The DP is DCWV and the entire thing was added to a Gina K Heavy Base Weight White card base.

So join us this week with your snow  creation. And, of course my special heartfelt thanks to the Sweet Stamps team for the warm welcome and the opportunity to showcase their fabulous stamps this month.

Guest Designer Spot

Good morning friends.  Today I am posting as the Guest Designer for Paper Crafting World's Dessert Fridayz.  I was so very excited to learn that my "Soda"lightful card had won.  

The card that I made for my GD spot uses the Victorian Bear digi stamp.  I used my BIC markers to add some color to this sweet little bear.  I used my colorless blender pen to add some texture to her dress.

I fussy cut her out after coloring and used pop dots to add her to the card.  The card base is a Chocolate Chip (SU) 5" square card.  I added some beautiful sunflower DP from DCWV as the background.  I used my Nestabilities to die cut some circles and adhered them to the right side of the card.  The green strip of DP is from American crafts.  I added some buttons and two sunflower stickers to finish it off.

Thank you so much for stopping by today to see what I made.  I hope y'all have a great Friday.  God bless y'all.
